"Oh, Li Lu. Thank you, thank you. Foreman Xu really has a good son..." An old lady in her fifties or sixties said to Li Lu happily. Seeing her look, she seemed to be eager to
It's like marrying off all your own daughters.
Li Lu sent the sixty or seventy-kilogram load into the yard and said with a smile, "Aunt Hua, you don't have to be so polite. We are neighbors, and neighbors have to help each other, right?"
"Yes, yes." The aunt smiled broadly, thinking that this child is really kind-hearted. I used to be fooled by lard.
Over the past few days, what Li Lu has done has been seen and remembered by the people in the town. The originally naughty and ignorant Li Lu has gradually dissipated in their hearts, turning into a person who is both sensible and obedient.
——The most important thing is that he often helps them with their work——What a good boy!
When the aunt saw that Li Lu had put down his burden and was about to go out, she quickly asked, "Would you like some water? Let's sit down at aunt's house."
Li Lu waved his hand and said with a smile that he had to leave first because he had something to do. His heart was full of joy. After this trip, he earned more than ten experience points.
But when he saw his experience bar, Li Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly. After reaching level five, the required experience points turned out to be as high as 800 points!
Fortunately, Li Lu is the kind of person who is easily satisfied and is not in a hurry to improve his level.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Lu met Xu Xiaoliu at the back door of his house.
Today is a rather special day.
Because the birthday of their good friend Xu Qiaoqiao is here!
Turning fifteen is the most important day in your life in the fantasy world. As soon as today passes, it means that you are no longer a child.
When Xu Xiaoliu saw Li Lu, he smiled slyly and said, "Guess what gift I brought to Qiaoqiao?"
Li Lu saw the sly expression on his face, but he laughed. He hummed, "Isn't it just rouge and gouache? Can't you try something new?"
When Xu Xiaoliu heard this, he waved his hands in a mysterious manner, denying Li Lu's guess. He took out the jade bracelet hidden in his sleeves with a showy look, and laughed, "I begged my mother for this for a long time.
It’s for me!”
Li Lu shook his head helplessly and walked straight to Xu Qiaoqiao's house.
Xu Xiaoliu, who was behind, hurriedly caught up and walked side by side with Li Lu. He asked, "What about you? What are you going to give me?"
Li Lu shrugged and didn't answer.
"Anyway, yours can't be more valuable than my bracelet." Xu Xiaoliu snorted and raised his head with an arrogant look.
It's evening now, and Xu Qiaoqiao's bun shop has closed early. Li Lu and Xu Xiaoliu have been here countless times and passed through the back door with ease.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Xu Laosan, whose leg was mostly healed, sitting on the steps with a gloomy look on his face. Li Lu walked over curiously, "Uncle Xu, what are you doing?"
"It's Li Lu and Xiao Liu." Xu Laosan raised his head with dull eyes, his eyes were slightly red.
Just when Li Lu was confused, Xu Xiaoliu shouted: "Qiaoqiao, we are here."
Xu Qiaoqiao walked out with a calm look on her face, which seemed unusual. Today is her birthday. What happened to her? What made a cute and lively girl become so silent?
Li Lu couldn't allow himself to think too much, and a beautiful woman in a pure white dress walked out again. Her delicate face was expressionless, as if she didn't care about anything.
"Qiaoqiao, I'll give you a quarter of an hour."
"Thank you, Auntie." Xu Qiaoqiao said bitterly, took a deep breath, and came to Li Lu. Her bright eyes shimmered under the hazy golden light, and then she looked at the stunned man.
Xu Xiaoliu said softly after a while: "Brother Li, Brother Xu, Qiaoqiao is leaving."
"Go? Where?" Xu Xiaoliu stepped forward and said loudly: "No, I don't want you to go!"
"I don't want to leave either." Xu Qiaoqiao said this, with a trace of tears quietly sliding down her pretty face.
Xu Xiaoliu was frightened by Xu Qiaoqiao's expression, and thought he was frightened by his loud voice. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Lu waving his hand.
"Why are you crying? It's just a trip away. Xiaoliu and I will wait for you to come back." Li Lu wiped Xu Qiaoqiao's tears that were falling down with his hands, pretending to be relaxed, but he felt very unhappy in his heart.
Feel good.
Li Lu only took one look at the woman who just walked out and knew that she was not an ordinary person. You must know that he is now equivalent to a fifth-level monk in the strength training realm, and his strength is even comparable to that of a seventh-level monk, except for Xu Qingyuan, who entered the sixth level that year.
, even Senior Brother Xu Haonan may not be able to defeat him. However, even if he uses the skill [Eye of Truth] that can only be learned at level 5, he still cannot see the depth of that woman.
People who haven't practiced don't know, but Li Lu clearly felt a hint of pressure. He had tried this feeling not long ago!
"I can't come back..." After Xu Qiaoqiao said this, she burst into tears and started sobbing with sobs.
Li Lu felt more and more distressed as he watched. He hugged Xu Qiaoqiao's shoulders and said with a smile: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. No one will stop you."
"No." Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly stopped crying and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Although she was weak, she said with great determination: "I have to go. My aunt said that only by going there can I serve my mother...
…Anyway, I have to go!”
Li Lu frowned. Seeing that Xu Qiaoqiao was hesitant to speak, he didn't ask any more questions. His hand changed, and a little tiger cub that had just opened its eyes appeared in his hand.
"This is my birthday gift to you." Li Lu stroked Xu Qiaoqiao's soft hair and said firmly: "I will go find you in three years."
"Really?"
"Really." Li Lu nodded.
"Okay. I believe you!" Xu Qiaoqiao's smiling face slipped past her tears, and she took the tiger cub handed over by Li Lu. She was not afraid at all even though she was usually afraid of puppies.
"There is me, I will go too." Xu Xiaoliu said firmly without showing any signs of weakness.
"Um."
Xu Laosan stepped forward, with a look of guilt and kindness on his face, "Qiaoqiao, go ahead. You've suffered a lot these past two years, don't worry about daddy. Daddy will be here waiting for you to come back."
Xu Qiaoqiao turned around and looked deeply at her father, but she stopped crying. "Dad, take care of yourself. Stop gambling."
"Okay, okay." Xu Laosan nodded repeatedly.
"Qiaoqiao." The woman in white on the side shouted coldly.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at his father, Xu Xiaoliu, and Li Lu.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
In the end, Li Lu broke the silence. He walked straight to the mysterious woman in white and looked directly at the woman's face. "Qiaoqiao calls you aunt, and I shamelessly call you aunt. Qiaoqiao has been thinking about it since she was a child."
I have never been out of Xizhen. Now I have to go to such a far place, so I ask my aunt to take good care of Qiaoqiao. I will go and bring her back before long."
The cold woman was slightly moved after listening to the first two sentences, but the more she listened, the more uncomfortable she became. Until Li Lu finished speaking, her cold face became even colder, and she smiled as if mockingly: "Just
By you? Do you know where Qiaoqiao is going? "
Li Lu shook his head, but he was not afraid of the woman's slightly angry expression. He swore and said frankly: "I don't know, but it won't take long. I will definitely bring Qiaoqiao back."
"Okay, I will remember your words. I will wait for you at [Xuanmen]!"
