Chapter 54: Revisit Peach Blossom Village

A few days passed by in a flash.

Lu Zheng used up all the four remaining rays of luck, one each of true energy, blood energy, constitution, and spirit, to develop in a balanced way.

"The wind blows away the eggshells, and the wealth is gone and people are happy. That's it. There is no need to continue to worry about the light of luck in the jade seal."

"But where else can we get money, no, the light of luck?"

"Brother Lu!"

Liu Qingquan's clear voice interrupted Lu Zheng's thinking.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Brother Lu, we are going to Taohuaping to play with Sister Shen tomorrow. Sister asked if you are going."

Lu Zheng did the math and realized that it was the middle of the month for his holiday.

"Okay."

Before I knew it, I had been in Da Jingchao for nearly two months.

"By the way, you don't have to prepare food tomorrow. I'll prepare it here." Lu Zheng said.

I have thought about buying a Family Bucket several times before, but I never had the chance. I happen to be going out tomorrow, so I’ll buy two sets.

"But aren't we going to have dinner at Sister Shen's house? But my sister and I brought gifts."

"Well, then I'll bring less."

It's rare that I remember it, so I'll just buy one set and use it as a side dish.



The next day, Lu Zheng got up early in the morning, first went to KFC and bought a portion of the Family Bucket, which he poured into a food box when he came back. Then he picked up two bottles of green plum wine from home.

Not long after, the donkey cart arrived at the entrance of Tongyi Lane.

"Brother Lu, get in the car quickly!"

After opening the curtain, Liu Qingquan's nose couldn't help but twitch.

"Brother Lu, what are you holding? Why does it smell so good?"

"fried chicken!"

"Chicken?" Liu Qingquan's eyes lit up instantly, "Fried chicken?"

"Well, it's basically chicken legs and wings, fried chicken and roasted chicken." Lu Zheng didn't know what was in KFC's Family Bucket now, so he just bought it with his eyes closed.

"Gudu!" Liu Qingquan swallowed hard.

Even Liu Qingyan's throat moved imperceptibly.

Although we all had breakfast, we couldn't stand the smell of meat.

Along the way, Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan chatted casually, while Liu Qingquan's eyes wandered over the food box from time to time.

"Why don't you take one first?" This was the second time Lu Zheng persuaded her.

Liu Qingquan shook her head with difficulty, "No, this is for us and Sister Shen to eat together. I can't eat it alone first."

"All right."

Lu Zheng nodded and took out another cloth bag from his arms like a magic trick.

Liu Qingquan's eyes lit up.

This cloth bag is Lu Zheng's standard item. As long as he takes it out, there will be all kinds of novel and good things to eat inside.

Lu Zheng took out a dried beef strip and handed it to Liu Qingquan.

"Thank you, Brother Lu!"

"Crunch!" Liu Qingquan took a bite, "It smells so good!"

"You've spoiled her." Liu Qingyan glared at Liu Qingquan angrily.

Lu Zheng put one beef strip into his mouth and handed the other one to Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it.

"Why do you think of going to see Mrs. Shen?"

Shen Ying did not mention her husband's surname, so Lu Zheng could only call her by Shen Ying's surname.

"It's been a while since I've been here. Today is my holiday and there's not much to do in the city, so I just wanted to come and play with Sister Shen."

"I'm at home all day, and I don't have many friends or close friends. It's rare that I get to know Sister Shen, so I naturally have to move around more."

"Lu Lang?"

"Um?"

Liu Qingyan looked a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

"Lu Lang, you spend all your time studying and studying theory, but you don't intend to take the imperial examination. You also practice martial arts and Dharma every day. Are you planning to travel around the world in the future?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"I, I was just asking."

"To be honest, I didn't think about it. I was planning to buy a property and live a peaceful life."

Liu Qingyan's beautiful eyes lit up, "Isn't this pretty good?"

"It's quite good." Lu Zheng nodded, "Then I accidentally met a corpse, and then accidentally obtained the martial arts method, and then worshiped Baiyun Temple."

"Could it be..."

Liu Qingyan pursed her lips and said that the acquisition of this martial arts method had something to do with her. If she hadn't asked Lu Zheng to come to Taohuaping with her, how could she have known Shen Ying and obtained the "Eighteen Styles of Dancing Mountain"?

Lu Zheng shook his head hastily.

"The world is huge, and there are countless masters and ghosts in the world. Compared to them, I'm probably just a drop in the ocean."

Liu Qingyan nodded repeatedly.

"If I were ignorant and fearless, and rushed into this circle, the grass on my grave would probably be three feet high next year."

Liu Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled softly.

Liu Qingquan muttered, "Where did the grave come from? The monsters have probably eaten it all."

Liu Qingyan hit Liu Qingquan's head hard, "Eat your jerky!"

"So, I won't just go out and do justice, subjugate monsters and catch ghosts without knowing anything. That would be courting death."

"In comparison, I still think the life of a small rich man is more suitable for me. I practice martial arts and magic for self-protection."

Liu Qingyan nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling with light.

While a few people were talking, the car had already arrived at Taohuaping.

Without stopping at the crowded Taohuaping West, Liu Qingyan directly directed the driver to turn around a small road, bypassing the peach trees, and arrived at Taohua Village where Shen Ying was.

"Sister Shen!"

When the car arrived, the door of Taohua Village had already been opened, and Shen Ying took her maid Xiaocui and two old servants out together.

"Sister Liu, hello Mr. Lu, Amber, take this to the side room and get some food and wine."

Shen Ying commanded Ruoding and welcomed sisters Liu Qingyan and Lu Zheng into Zhuangzi.

"It's rare for my sister to come over today, and I just happen to play chess with her." Shen Ying pointed to an endgame under the peach tree in the front yard, "Xiao Cui's chess skills are too bad."

Xiaocui felt aggrieved and did not say a word.

"I'm not very good at chess either, so sister must be merciful."

Shen Ying rolled her eyes, "Then let Mr. Lu give you some advice."

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "As the saying goes, a true gentleman watches chess without speaking. I can just watch you play chess."

Just kidding, let me play backgammon. I just know the rules of chess. As for the Go game in front of me... haha...

However, the momentum cannot be broken at this time, and they must not let them know that they cannot play chess.

Living in the Jing Dynasty, I pretended to be a scholar. It is understandable that I can't play chess well. What's wrong with not being able to play?

Lu Zheng regretted that he had used up all the light of luck. He said that he was not in any immediate danger now, so how could he improve his combat effectiveness?

Wouldn't it be nice for him to be promoted to the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry, and then play the flute, play the piano, paint, play chess, and recite poetry with Liu Qingyan?

Damn, I have to find a way to collect the light of luck. Thinking about it like this, I am really poor!
