"Sir, I'll tell you later. I need to go out for a while first."
Lu Yuan unilaterally ended the conversation with Lu Yueping, picked up the book he put aside and hurried out the door.
“If you want to come back for dinner tonight, I will cook fish for you tonight!”
"knew!"
…
The journey has not been far at all.
Waiting at the end of their street, at the crossroads.
After waiting for a while, a taxi stopped in front of him.
The car door opened, and Lu Yuan hurriedly reached over to support the girl inside who was holding a bulging schoolbag.
“Thank you~”
Cheng Yue walked out of the car with her head lowered, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Lu Yuanyuan said it was okay, and then wanted to go up and help her pay the fare, but the taxi ran away in a flash. It was probably the taxi he hailed on the app.
“I’ll get it.”
Lu Yuan took the opportunity to take the schoolbag from Cheng Yue's arms, opened the zipper of the schoolbag, and saw that there were about eight or nine books inside.
While he was taking out the books inside, he put the book in his hand into it.
While looking at the list of these books.
Epic of Salaner
"Changes in Geography and Landforms (from Medieval Times to Modern Times)"
《Barbarism and Civilization》
"Into the Baishan Era"
…..
Basically, they were all books he wanted to borrow, and there were a few books that were unfamiliar to him, but he would find them interesting just by looking at their titles.
Cheng Yue helped hold the schoolbag aside and whispered: "Two books have been borrowed. I checked the return date, and it will be around next Wednesday.
At that time, I will call you in advance to urge you..."
“Thank you, Sister Cheng Yue.”
Lu Yuan sincerely thanked Cheng Yue.
During this period, he did not dare to go too far from home, so he always asked Cheng Yue, who worked part-time in the library, to borrow books for him.
Cheng Yue would go to the trouble of sending it to him personally every time, making Lu Yuan both grateful and embarrassed.
“I’ll treat you to dinner in a while, Sister Cheng Yue.”
Lu Yuan said to Cheng Yue seriously: "No matter where the restaurant is, you can choose it."
“You say it so boldly. You can choose whatever you want. What if I choose something very expensive...”
Cheng Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle after hearing this, "I'm afraid I can't afford it, I'm still in high school... little brother."
When Cheng Yue said the word "high school", her tone unconsciously contained a hint of regret or something, but she quickly returned to normal.
“Yes, I’m serious, you can eat wherever you want when the time comes.”
Lu Yuan emphasized once, then put the replaced books that Cheng Yue was going to take back and return in his backpack, zipped them up, and carried them on his back.
“I’ll call a car for you.”
Lu Yuan directly took out his mobile phone and used the app to call Cheng Yue a taxi.
Cheng Yue did not refuse, pouted, and stood side by side with Lu Yuan with her hands behind her back.
Occasionally I would glance towards the other end of the street, as if counting which house was the farthest home.
“Do you want to eat chewing gum?”
Cheng Yue suddenly took out a pack of chewing gum from her pocket and handed it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan shook his head, and she stuffed it into her mouth.
“You asked me before about the ancient religion related to crows...well. I asked my senior brother.”
Cheng Yue was chewing gum while talking to Lu Yuan.
“What did senior brother say?”
When Lu Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. He immediately put down the phone in his hand and looked at Cheng Yue.
“He said he didn’t know either.”
Cheng Yue shook her head and said: "The crow is almost a universal symbol of cults, and many weird sects have something to do with crows.
"All right."
Lu Yuan was not too disappointed, it was just a casual question.
Cheng Yue asked curiously: "Are you studying this because of the recent bombing?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
Cheng Yue took out her mobile phone and said, "I'm paying attention too.
I heard that the chemical plant that had the accident in the south of the city was a mass burial cemetery many years ago, where many people died. The crows were used to eating dead human flesh there, and they never left.

The explosion this time was caused by workers seeing something unclean while working..."
Lu Yuan listened to Cheng Yue’s words without any emotion on his face.
He has heard countless versions of rumors like this in the past few days.
The chemical plant explosion in the south of the city was given a strong and eerie tone because of the large number of crows involved.
The rumors spread on the Internet became more and more bizarre, forcing the officials to personally refute the rumors.
Whether it was the cause of the explosion or the existence of crows...it gave a reasonably reasonable explanation.
Lu Yuan doesn’t have much energy to distinguish the true from the false on the Internet. He is just curious.
Intuition told him that the truth of this matter should not be that simple.
Because just before the explosion happened... he happened to see a shuttle passing overhead.
“It is probably related to the missing persons case that has not been solved yet...”
Lu Yuan had such a guess in his mind.
“Tail number 7499…”
At this time, a taxi stopped in front of the two of them.
The taxi driver honked his horn and stuck his head out of the window to ask.
"yes."
Lu Yuan responded and then sent Cheng Yue into the car.
Cheng Yue sat in the car and waved to Lu Yuan, smiling with a look of reluctance that made Lu Yuan feel like he saw his sister Lu Jing in a trance.
He subconsciously picked up his phone and clicked on the chat history with his elder sister Lu Jing.
【I will make a video call to you later.】
The last sentence was sent by Lu Jing in the afternoon two days ago.
A dove as always.
Click on Lu Jing’s avatar, and the daily archaeological sharing in the circle of friends and the photos of Xisu scenery are fixed on a day two weeks ago.
so.......
“Lu Jing, what have you experienced during this period?...”
Lu Yuan murmured, and finally silently picked up his backpack and walked towards home.

"Snapped--"
The low whistling sound was like a heavy giant ax chopping through the air with force, occasionally accompanied by a crisp sound like a firecracker.
Lu Yuan stood on the rooftop, his eyes focused, and he kept making punches or kicks in the air.
There seemed to be an invisible and powerful opponent in front of him.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan's eyes became sharp.
The strength on his legs suddenly increased, and the low whistle that broke through the air suddenly became sharper.
This kick hit the huge cement stone pier as hard as a battle axe.
“Bang——”
——
With this kick, the cement pier made a dull and loud sound, and several clear and narrow cracks appeared at the bottom where it was connected to the ground water.
It was like being hit hard by some huge beast.
Lu Yuan stopped, leaned down, and gently rubbed the calf of the foot that had just come out with his hands, making a slight inhaling sound from his mouth.
The sound of pain.
“After my agility improved, my boxing strength and leg strength have indeed improved a lot.
However, I feel that my physical fitness is a little behind. The basic four-dimensional attributes really complement each other and are indispensable..."
Lu Yuan touched the cement block in front of him that served as a target.
I don’t know what the original purpose of this thing was. It is two meters in diameter and one and a half meters high. The entire thing is made of solid concrete, which can be used as a boxing stake for him.
He tied more than a dozen thick layers of cardboard, quilts, old clothes, and rubber to one side of the cement pier, and added fillings such as cotton batting and sand in the middle.
But sometimes if you exert too much force, you still feel pain.
Lu Yuan was almost done, so he stood up from the ground.
Walking to the edge of the rooftop, I saw a child standing on the balcony of the fourth floor of the residential building next door.
Hold a telescope in his hand and seemed to be looking at him.
He squinted his eyes, trying to see more carefully, but he seemed to be frightened.
The child holding the telescope was frightened but quickly retreated into the room and tightened the curtains.
After a while, even the lights in the room went out.
