Yu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to help the little girl, "Is it okay?"
There will be areas where he will need the girl's help in the future, such as carpentry work when the inn is being expanded.
"I'll kick you, will it hurt you if you try?" The little girl was helped to sit on a stool.
After calming down for a while, the little girl raised her head and asked Yu Sheng, "Are you really the son of King Donghuang?"
She just saw Yu Sheng's resurrected person. The person with such magic must not be a mortal, so that's most likely the identity they mentioned.
"I hope not." Yu Sheng sat down, poured a cup of tea, took out a page of the book and shouted, "My mother is the most beautiful in the world."
The little girl didn't understand why Yu Sheng shouted such a thing. After looking at him strangely for a long time, she asked again: "Is that true?"
"Which sentence?" Yu Sheng paused as the tea cup reached his lips, "My mother is the most beautiful in the world."
The little girl was stunned again, thinking that this person must be sick, and I didn't say that your mother was not beautiful.
But just muttering in her heart, she asked: "That's it, your city lord's wife has an old relationship with the city lord of Carpenter City."
"Oh, this." Yu Sheng heard the footsteps, turned around and saw the city lord coming down, and said, "Go and ask my wife."
He said again, "My mother is the most beautiful in the world," and stood up to greet the city lord.
The city lord slept from noon until Yu Sheng was cooking.
Although I had been sober for a while and had been drinking for a while, I was still a little confused.
Her posture was lazy, and her hair was simply tied into a loose ponytail behind her back.
After hearing Yu Sheng's words, she didn't take it seriously at first, "Your wife is..."
Halfway through the words, the city lord woke up, reached out and grabbed Yu Sheng's ears, and pulled Yu Sheng down.
"Wife, no, little aunt, little aunt, I was wrong." Yu Sheng tried to get as close to the city lord as possible to avoid having his ears stretched out.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make you a rabbit." The city lord said viciously, and after letting go, he asked, "Why do you want to ask me?"
She stretched as she spoke and yawned.
Her body felt like bones falling apart, she was sore and sleepy.
From now on, I can't do this anymore, the city lord thought to himself, and stepped on Yu Sheng.
"Ouch", Yu Sheng hugged his feet and jumped on the spot. He saw the little girl holding her hands and asked the city lord, "Do you know the city lord of Carpenter City Lu?"
"I know you, you are..." The city lord looked up and down, "Master Lu's daughter, Lu Xiu?"
"You know me?" The little girl was startled.
"We met once, when you were still an infant." The city lord sat down, poured a cup of tea, and invited the little girl to sit down too.
"But you are very similar to your mother Xiuqin." The city lord poured her a cup of tea, "Why did you come to Yangzhou City?"
"Yangzhou?" Lu Xiu suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "You, you are Aunt Qing?!"
As he said that, Lu Xiu couldn't stop crying.
"Hey, what's going on?" Aunt Qing hurriedly put down the teacup and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Did I bully you for the rest of my life?"
"It's not me, I'm not that bad." Yu Sheng, who had just sat down, cried out, "She fell from the sky alone, and she broke my pickle jar and I haven't asked her to pay for it."
"Shall I compensate you?" The city lord raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Sheng.
"Forget it, forget it," Yu Sheng waved his hands and muttered quietly, "Then I'll pay for it, I'm not stupid."
Lu Xiu sobbed and said, "Qing, Aunt Qing, I finally found you."
"Don't cry yet, what are you doing to me?" Aunt Qing sat the little girl down and touched her head, "Where are your parents?"
"He, they, were taken away, wuwu." Aunt Qing didn't ask, but she felt better. When she asked, the little girl became even more sad.
"What!" The city lord was shocked.
Although he did not enter Taoism in martial arts, Master Lu's skills as a carpenter should not be underestimated.
"Who captured them?" the city lord asked.
"No, I don't know. A group of mummies surrounded the city. A few days later, some hateful old witches came and took my father and mother away." Lu Xiu said while wiping his tears.
"Master Lu didn't resist?" the city lord asked.
"Dad fought with them, but the old witch said that if dad didn't surrender, he would turn the whole city into mummies," the little girl said.
"Dad couldn't bear it, so he gave up resistance, and my mother and I were taken away by those hateful old witches." Lu Xiu was still crying.
"Then what? Is the city still broken?" Yu Sheng asked.
Seeing the little girl nodding, Yu Sheng said: "This Master Lu is so naive. If you really think that he can be captured without hesitation, those people won't kill his people?"
"It's just like the people in the movie...no, the book. They are threatened by bad guys with hostages at every critical moment."
"If it were me..." Yu Sheng didn't even notice the city lord's gaze telling him to shut up.
He slapped the table and said, "I will definitely say to those old witches, 'Turn the people in this city into mummies. The more you turn into mummies, the less I will leave.'"
"This is called counter-threat, I... Oops." Yu Sheng was expressing his dissatisfaction with those clichéd plots when he was stepped on by the city lord.
"Will you die if you stop talking?" The city lord glared at him, indicating that the little girl was still crying.
"I won't die, but I will if I talk too much." Yu Sheng rubbed his feet, thinking that this girl is really willing to give up.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, just keep talking." Aunt Qing comforted Lu Xiu.
"When my father left, he told me to ride the wooden crane north and leave the southern wasteland to hide with his friends. If it is not necessary, I must not reveal my identity."
Lu Xiu told the two of them that after Master Lu gave up resistance, the old witch promised to give the people of Carpenter City three days and attack the city after three days.
Three days later, the carpenters in the city concentrated their efforts on making many sealed carts and took out the wooden cranes carved by the city lord.
Lu Xiu threw the wooden crane his father gave him to the people, and he prepared to escape on his own wooden crane.
The little girl was still frightened by the tragic situation that day when the city was destroyed, and her eyes dropped "click, click".
"After those mummies entered the city, they bit everyone they saw. The city guards blocking the front line faced so many mummies that many of them were bitten to pieces, leaving only white bones."
Lu Xiu trembled as he spoke. He felt better after being hugged by the city lord.
The city guard behind was frightened, and before he could retreat, the mummy pounced on him and bit him.
The bitten city guards had just fallen down, but before the zombie army could bite their companions to death, they stood up and attacked their companions.
On that day, the entire Carpenter City became a hell, and the army of mummies spared no living creature, including pigs and dogs.
Those who built cars to escape, but only a few escaped outside the city. They were all blocked in the city, their cars were overturned, they were pulled out and bitten to death.
As for the wooden cranes, including the ones given to Lu Xiu, there were only two left by Master Lu, and they were robbed by forty or fifty people.
In the end, the mummy didn't come, so they killed everyone and turned everything upside down.
Lu Xiu was disappointed with them and escaped into his wooden crane.
"Bang", the city lord put down his teacup, angry for those who were killing each other, and also for the mummies massacring the city.
"I didn't expect that the number of mummies in the Southern Wilderness has become like this." The city lord said, "And there is a witch behind it."
She always thought that the mummy was caused by some kind of monster or ghost, but she never expected that it was actually a human being.
"It must be the Ten Witches of Lingshan." Yu Sheng was very sure, "If I'm wrong, I'll lay the floor in the future."
The city lord ignored him and turned around to comfort Lu Xiu, who was heartbroken when he thought of these things. "Don't worry, your parents will be fine."
"That's true."
Yu Sheng comforted Lu Xiu, "Those shamans drove the mummies to surround the city and forced your father to surrender. They must be useful for him."
"Your father doesn't want you to reveal your identity because he is probably afraid that Wu Zhu will use you to force him to submit after he catches you."
Yu Sheng pretended to be cunning and calculating, "As for what to force him to do, I can tell with my heels that it's carpentry work."
"You're not talking nonsense," the city lord said.
"What I said next is not." Yu Sheng approached the city lord.
When Lu Xiu stopped crying and looked at him, "My mother is the most beautiful in the world," Yu Sheng said.
