Lu Shu's plan was to take Lu Xiaoyu out for fun. As for whether there would be anyone else, to be honest, Lu Shu had never thought about it.
It's not that there are other people, but that he has never thought about whether there are other people, because as far as his world is concerned, there are only him and Lu Xiaoyu.
What will happen in the future? Lu Shu suddenly thought of this question, but he couldn't think of a reason for a long time. This earth is too big for him. There are so many people and so many things. Who can be sure of what the future will be like.
He touched Lu Xiaoyu's head: "Go to sleep quickly."
"Tell me a story," Lu Xiaoyu said, holding the edge of the quilt with his little hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
Lu Xiaoyu usually showed a level of maturity that was different from that of a 10-year-old child, so sometimes Lu Shu would discuss things with her.
The saying that a poor man's child should become a master early is also applicable to Lu Xiaoyu. Even though Lu Xiaoyu is often willful, she has long since learned how to go to the vegetable market and be cute with uncles and aunts to get prices.
At that time, saving one or two dollars was meaningful to their lives.
Lu Shu thought about it. He had been telling Lu Xiaoyu stories from time to time since he was in the orphanage. However, he didn't read much and didn't have enough ink in his stomach, so now every time he hears Lu Xiaoyu ask him to tell stories.
It all gives me a little headache...what are you talking about?!
He didn't notice the hint of a smile on Lu Xiaoyu's lips. It seemed that her original purpose was not to listen to the story, but to watch Lu Shu sit on the bed and make up a story with a tangled look on his face, so that he could sit next to her for more time.
It's been a while.
Lu Xiaoyu knew that making up children's stories was Lu Shu's weakness, but being cheap was his strength...
"Ahem," Lu Shu cleared his throat: "It's a long story. There was a family of three brown bears living in the forest. One day, the mother bear saw that the cub's nails were too long, so she helped him trim his nails. Guess what happened next?
?”
Lu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment: "How's it going?"
"It becomes Xiaoneng, hahahahaha!"
"The negative emotion value from Lu Xiaoyu, +333..."
…
The altitude of Xijing City is higher than that of the mainland. In the ordinary sense, it is considered a plateau area. However, most tourists do not need to worry too much about altitude sickness when they come here. It is not as serious as imagined.
The temperature difference between day and night is huge as the summer season here approaches, and the plants on the street are already lush. However, you can still see people in jackets walking in a hurry, and of course, you can also see girls in short skirts.
This was a rather novel sight for Lu Shu, as they seemed to be in different seasons.
The climate in Luocheng is actually very strange. Everyone says that Kunming is like spring all year round. Lu Shu’s summary of the climate in Luocheng is that spring is like four seasons...
At this time, when Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were already making great strides on the path of cultivation, the change in temperature had little effect on them.
The two of them just brought a change of thin coats, which were purely for wind protection. If they had worn short sleeves, they wouldn't have felt so cold.
Walking on the street, there were not many pedestrians. Lu Xiaoyu put his small hand into Lu Shu's big hand and raised his head and asked, "Is Quan'ertou Haggis Soup really that delicious?"
"Since everyone has agreed, there must be something special about it. You must try it when you come here. Anyway, we are free today and will go with the group tomorrow. Let's drink haggis soup in the morning and go to Mojia Street at noon.
, Let’s eat lamb neck tonight!” Lu Shu said cheerfully.
Anyway, with Lu Xiaoyu, the main point is to eat.
Entering Quantou's store, Lu Shu suddenly realized that it was not as exaggerated as the reviews said. They said there would be a long queue and they would be gone if you got there late. The cheapest one was 6 yuan...
They are all liars. There is obviously no need to queue up, and the cheapest one is only 20 yuan a bowl.
"Boss, three bowls of 20 yuan and three cakes!" Lu Shu happily handed over the money.
The boss was stunned for a moment. He looked at Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu: "Three bowls?"
"Yes, three bowls," Lu Shu confirmed.
One of the bowls was for Xiao Jixu. In the past, Lu Shu would have been reluctant to drink it like this. He would even rather drink a bowl with Xiao Jixu...
But it’s different now. Two words stand out: lavish!
When Xiao Jixu heard from Lu Xiaoyu's head that Lu Shu bought three bowls, he was almost moved and thought that Lu Shu was a good person!
Almost!
Lu Shu was waiting at the place where he was getting the soup and happily watched the chef inside: "Put in more meat, more meat, more meat..."
The chef in the kitchen had a dark face: "Can I let you take care of the sheep?"
"That's not necessary..."
Lu Shu took the soup and went to meet Lu Xiaoyu. As a result, a strange scene appeared in the Quan'ertou haggis soup store: a boy who looked like a high school student led a beautiful little girl to drink haggis soup.
Holding a bowl bigger than her face, she felt very happy no matter how she looked at it.
Next to them, there was a little squirrel eating meat with a single chopstick...
Although spiritual pets are rare, everyone sees them more often now.
The difference from before is that if everyone saw this scene in the past, they would probably take photos and post them online immediately, but now they are talking quietly.
Lu Shu had never intended to hide his identity as a student of the Daoyuan Class. He had his military ID card in his hand, so there was no point in being secretive, and it was not shameful.
Seeing that the meat in Lu Xiaoyu's bowl disappeared quickly, Lu Shu was afraid that there was not enough meat in Lu Xiaoyu's bowl, so...he took half of Xiao Jixu's bowl and gave it to her.
Xiao Jixu: "???" Why don't you get your own?! Use my flesh to pretend to be a good person, right?!
"The negative emotion value from Xiao Jixu, +1+1+1..."
Lu Shu looked at Xiao Ji Xu coldly: "Did you fail to learn how to read last night?"
Xiao Jixu immediately lowered his head and started working on his own. If something like meat is gone, it’s gone. I, Xiao Jixu, won’t argue with you!
…
While visiting Xijing City during the day, Lu Shu felt that the difference between the city here and the mainland was not particularly obvious.
He also met several people on the street who had spiritual energy fluctuations coming from their bodies. All of them looked like students. It seemed that the other person was probably a student of Daoyuan Class in Xijing City.
For this reason, he also deliberately observed to see that the level of cultivation in Xijing City was basically the same as that of Yuan Liangtuo and others. They were almost E-level, and there were not even peak E-levels.
However, when I thought about it, it was not like that time outside the ruins where all the students were present. At this time, a few scattered observations were meaningless and could not be used as an accurate reference.
It is said that since Xiao Jixu ate the Marrow Cleansing Fruit last time, his current strength has slowly increased to the early stage of E-level, and finally stopped when he felt that he was about to enter the middle stage.
Lu Shu was a little confused. Could this kind of spiritual pet only need to activate its spiritual intelligence to slowly increase its strength until it reaches the bottleneck of spiritual intelligence at this stage?
Doesn’t that mean that these spiritual pets are the easiest practitioners? They can kill human monks in seconds!
Of course, they can't compare with Lu Xiaoyu... at least their growth rate is not nearly as fast as Lu Xiaoyu's.
Lu Shu felt that this might not be the case. Otherwise, why were there so many squirrels in the orchard but only Xiao Ji Xu became stronger?
In other words... among spiritual pets, qualifications are also important?
Thinking of this, there was something wrong with the way Lu Shu looked at Xiao Ji Xu... Could it be that this coward is still a genius among squirrels?!
Xiao Jixu almost shuddered when he saw Lu Shu looking at him strangely.
It quickly got into Lu Xiaoyu's pocket. Although Lu Xiaoyu always used it as a pillow or rubbed it and played with it, compared with Lu Shu, it was nothing.
Bar……
It's really a tough life...
Returning to the hotel in the evening, Lu Shu redeemed another marrow-cleansing fruit and handed it to Xiao Jixu. He wanted to see if Xiao Jixu would really experience changes in his power as long as he continued to open the Spiritual Wisdom Association.
As a result, when the marrow-washing fruit that Xiao Xi Xu had been dreaming about was handed to it, it looked at Lu Shu with an expression of "How could you be so kind?"
"Are you going to eat it or not?" Lu Shu said with a dark face. He gave you the pith-washed fruit to eat. Are you still showing restraint to me?
Xiao Jixu immediately ate the marrow-washing fruit. This was what he longed for most!
After eating the first pith-washing fruit, it lost all its gray hair and turned into a pure white squirrel. It looked so different that it often made the girls passing by look cute when walking on the street.
Face bloody.
At this time, after eating the second fruit, the hair no longer fell off, but instead, a small amount of purple hair grew on the top of the head!
The purple is very sparsely mixed in the white, but it is extremely eye-catching.
Just by looking at Lu Shu's appearance, he could tell that Xiao Ji Xu had taken another step in evolution.
As for how far Xiao Jixu can grow, we have to continue to observe.
The next morning, Lu Shu took Lu Xiaoyu to the meeting point specified by the travel agency, Xinning Road Passenger Terminal.
When they got there, the travel agency's minibus and the tour guide holding a red flag were already waiting there. Lu Shu went over to say hello to the male tour guide, told his name and continued waiting aside.
However, the driver and tour guide cast their eyes on Lu Xiaoyu from time to time. Not only was the girl very beautiful, but the white squirrel with purple fluff on its head was too eye-catching. They had never seen such a squirrel before.
Lu Xiaoyu glanced at the two of them and paid no attention to them. The tour guide was swept by this glance. For some reason, he felt inexplicably stupid for an instant...
At this time, the crowd began to bustle at the entrance of Xinning Road Passenger Terminal. Lu Shu suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure walking towards this direction, but he did not remember that he had seen this person before.
However, just as the other party took out his ID card from the backpack behind him to confirm his identity with the tour guide, Lu Shu suddenly saw a flash of color inside the other party's backpack.
This is... the linen cloth Li Dian used to wrap the gourd that night!
