Magnificent Years

Chapter 139: The dog-headed strategist is very useful

Views:

Even though she was a little familiar, Lu Anru still felt frightened by the sight of her pupilless eyes. She shook her body and pushed the ghost doll away with her hands.

Raise your arms to mark a distance of one meter, point at the ghost doll, and then point at yourself, emphasizing: "Keep a safe distance to communicate."

"You're such a coward, I won't scare you anymore, don't make it so exaggerated."

The ghost doll's blinking and eye-rolling movements are similar, but if Lu An could tell the difference, it would be if Xiaoxin's thick eyebrows were raised.

Looking directly at the disdainful man who rolled his eyes, he said righteously: "It has nothing to do with being scared. You are too cold next to me."

The words touched the sad part of Guiwa's heart. He stopped going any further and asked in a gentler voice, "Is Sister Taoshu saved?"

"Yes, I lied to you like a dog." Lu Anru affirmed in a child's tone.

The ghost doll happily asked for details: "How did you do it? How soon can I see her again?"

Lu Anru originally wanted to tell the truth intact, but once he considered the key points, he adopted a reserved switching angle to describe the matter.

"You know that the Peach Tree Spirit is actually a peach tree. My mother tried to cultivate new branches and roots, but Xiaobai took away the old tree stump. We need to find Xiaobai and transfer the Peach Tree Spirit from the old tree stump. Absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

His deer-like eyes turned, full of eagerness, and he stared at the ghost doll and asked, "Can you find a way to find Xiaobai?"

If there is help from a spirit body that can travel through higher dimensions, it will be better than her doing it.

The ghost doll read the feeling of a weasel looking at a chicken in Lu Anru's gaze, but he couldn't find what was wrong, and then asked in surprise: "Is it appropriate for you to discuss this matter with me? If I remember correctly, we seem to be enemies?" "

Lu Anru's face became more eager than ever, and he answered calmly and simply: "Of course it's appropriate. You also asked me about Sun Tzu's art of war, and you want to help her even more."

"Uh," Guiwa choked, then reluctantly agreed: "That's right."

"Yes, our top priority should be to work together to solve the problem." Lu Anru made a gesture of invitation and asked sincerely: "Do you have any clever ideas?"

"I can't run around during the day, so why don't you go and find out the news? Let's discuss it together at night." Guiwa said his own difficulties.

Lu Anru suddenly changed from a commander to a detective. Out of comprehensive considerations, he had no choice but to accept the arrangement.

When she woke up from the dream, she found that the environment had changed. She was moved from the sofa in the hall to the bedroom.

I turned over and didn't find Xiao Luan, but I saw that the cake was gone on the bed table, and there were two more lines on the note: [The strawberry cake is delicious. I slept as long as An Ru asked.]

Lu Anru turned on the computer and checked the time. It was 1:28 noon and said secretly: "Xiao Ming is a big liar. I believe he happened to get up at 1 o'clock."

If he got up at one o'clock, there wouldn't be enough time at all. It would take about ten minutes just to go downstairs and carry her back to the house. Unless Sheng Ming sets the alarm clock and completes a series of things in every second.

She responded to her complaints with a few beeps, and then found Sheng Ming's computer from the bedside table on the other side. Unlock it with your birthday, and the alarm clock interface will appear in front of you.

There is a bell reminder at 1 o'clock and a bell reminder at 1:30.

The 30-minute ringtone has an additional reminder message: [Wake up and go downstairs for dinner.]

The carefully planned settings made Lu Anru deeply suspicious. Sheng Ming installed a monitor in her head.

He stuffed his own computer and Sheng Ming's computer into the pink bag and arranged his clothes. After walking out of the room and standing by the stairs, he saw his mother and Sheng Ming serving food from the kitchen through the corridor.

Grandma sat next to Xiao Luan and asked her kindly: "Do you like watching TV?"

Xiao Luan replied without hesitation: "I like it."

In a happy scene, Lu Anru ran downstairs, rushed to Sheng Ming and stuck his head out, smiled at him, and then looked at his mother.

The mother opened the lid of the pot, and the spicy smell hit her nostrils. Lu Anru clapped and cheered: "It smells so good. It's more delicious than many robots in colleges and restaurants."

"Well, Xiao Ming cooked it with seasoning. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat. You didn't eat much for breakfast. Eat more at noon."

"Okay." Lu Anru responded to his mother, pulled Sheng Ming to the bathroom, and muttered: "Wash your hands together."

After the two left, the old man walked to the table, helped Lu's mother unscrew three bottles of juice, and asked thoughtfully: "Does An Ru still not know her life experience?"

Lu's mother shook her head slightly, and the old man's eyes became filled with sorrow, and he sighed: "She is a poor child, and it's okay if she doesn't know. It's just that Xiao Ming's feelings for her are getting stronger and stronger, so she has to make it clear as soon as possible, otherwise An Ru will Family affection is confused with love.”

"Mom, you know Xiao Ming's temperament. He makes his own decision. It's useless for us to get involved."

Mother Lu pulled out the chair and helped the old man sit down.

Pour a little rice wine into the old porcelain cup, push it to the old man's hand, and say helplessly: "I know you like this, so I'll heat it up for you."

The old man turned around and raised his hand to touch his daughter's cheek, and said with emotion: "My daughter is well-behaved and caring. When winter comes, I miss your dad especially. His temper stinks more than the smelly stones in the latrine, so I'd better do something before he dies. I made the right choice and did not continue to force you to marry Ning,"

The old man stopped calling him casually and called out the other person's honorific title: "Emperor Xuantian."

Seeing the inner fear on the old man's face, Lu's mother teased the old man half-jokingly, "I thought you would regret that your daughter did not become the queen."

The old man patted his daughter's hand gently, pretending to be angry and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I will not sell my daughter in exchange for wealth."

"Hehe, I know." Lu's mother smiled like a little woman.

Lu Anru lay on the crack of the door and observed for a long time, then asked the man behind him who was washing his hands seriously: "Xiao Ming, what do you think mom and grandma are talking about?"

She didn't want to peek, but she turned around and saw her grandmother's worried look, and she became worried.

"Let's talk about father."

Sheng Ming gave a perfect explanation, and Lu Anru agreed: "Well, the trouble my father encountered is indeed very disturbing."

Returning to Sheng Ming, he put his hand into the water and washed it casually.

She just touched the towel and was pulled back into the water by Sheng Ming. His big hands wrapped her small hands respectively, took the hand sanitizer and rubbed them carefully from the inside out.

"I just woke up and didn't go out. I just took a shower."

Lu Anru looked at Sheng Ming in the mirror and felt that his seriousness was wasted when he was helping wash his hands.

Sheng Ming responded with a 'hmm': "My hands are so dirty, An Ru washes them with me."

Lu Anru had nothing to say. She was offered a miserable life in exchange for companionship. She couldn't refuse.

After completing the six steps of formal scientific hand washing, the two returned to the dining table and started eating.

Every time Lu Anru took a bite of food, there were three or four more peeled shrimps in the bowl. The spicy shrimps were especially fragrant compared to the rice.

She ate happily, and little Luan was frightened. She placed her chopsticks flat on the chopstick pillow beside the bowl, and kept asking Sheng Ming: "Please let me peel the shrimp."

"No need." Sheng Ming replied in two words.

Xiao Luan was so scared that she dared not eat. She put her hands flat on her legs and obeyed the call at any time.

Several adults had reminded her that the eldest lady sometimes had a bad temper, but was actually hard-spoken and soft-hearted. What really needs to be paid more attention to is the young master, who should not show his emotions or anger.

She couldn't understand Master Gou Chen's words about the young master, and could only vaguely understand the meaning of danger. The master said: "Sheng Ming is a bastard, and he has more power than Lao Sheng. I can't show you."

Lu Anru stuffed the peeled shrimp meat into his mouth, gave Sheng Ming a "come on" look, and at the same time looked at the frightened Xiao Luan.

"Eat."

At the sound of greeting, Xiao Luan slowly turned his face to look at her, and then slowly shook his head. His state was slower than that of a computer, and his brain was no longer functioning properly.

Lu Anru patted Sheng Ming's arm and made a gesture of changing places.

Da Lieli sat between Sheng Ming and Xiao Luan, picked up the chopsticks and gave Sheng Ming a piece of meat and Xiao Luan some green vegetables.

After a few times, he stacked the bowls for the three of them at the same height, picked up the chopsticks and gave them to Xiao Luan, clapped his hands and announced: "It tastes better if we all eat together. Let's compete to see who finishes the meal first. The last one will be responsible for washing the dishes."

After receiving the order, Xiao Luan ate hard, but very slowly, automatically accepting the last setting and the task of washing the dishes.

After the meal, Lu Anru helped her clear the table as usual, and showed an attitude that could not be refused: "Hurry up, you are so ink, don't hold me back."

No matter how dull Xiao Luan was, she knew that Lu Anru was helping her, and she turned her gratitude into action. The two of them quickly finished cleaning up, and Lu Anru jumped up to Sheng Ming. Seeing her happily telling Sheng Ming something, Xiao Luan raised the corners of her mouth.

A closer look revealed that the corners of Sheng Ming's mouth were also slightly raised. Other things may be true as the adults said, but Xiao Luan could be sure of one thing. All Sheng Ming's joys, angers, sorrows and joys came from the sincerity in front of Lu Anru.

"Is Xiao Ming sleepy?"

The excited tone is more like asking: 'Want to play games together? '

Sheng Ming answered clearly: "If you're not sleepy, just connect your Xbox to the TV. I'll go to bed after dinner to adjust to the jet lag."

"OK!"

Lu Anru agreed immediately, and Fen Bao pulled her to him and took out two game controllers. Give the light green one to Sheng Ming and keep the light blue one for yourself.

Then take out the main box and place it next to the TV to restore it to its original size.

As soon as she plugged the cable into the TV port, an extremely cold wind made her stop her movements. Subconsciously looking back, there was a faint layer of thin white smoke floating in a place that was clearly empty.

Ever since she had trouble with the ghost doll at Cui's house, she could see something dirty in her eyes.

In the past, the little female ghost would mostly eavesdrop on her chatting with others during the day and create corresponding scenes. Today, she risked her life to remind her, which shows how important Sister Taoshu is to her.

Disappointed, he pushed the console into the cabinet and said to Sheng Ming: "Xiao Ming, I met a friend in the village, and suddenly I remembered that I had an appointment with her in the afternoon. I'll accompany you tomorrow."

"Okay." Sheng Ming agreed with great trust.

Lu Anru walked out of her grandmother's house and leaned against the brick wall at the door, wondering how to find clues. Whether a village is big or small, you can't ask it from house to house.

He took out his computer from his pocket and sent a message to consult the dog-headed military advisor: Ella, if you needed to find clues about something, where would you start

The dog-headed military advisor had just finished lunch and was bored. He came up with an idea based on the police movies he had watched: Of course, go through the existing information. There is always something left over, and you can definitely find the key points.

Lu Anru was melancholy. She didn't have much existing information in her hand. She only knew that Xiaobai was an aphid, and secondly, there was Aunt Cui's nagging description.

etc! Aunt Cui once said that she didn't know who gave the village head old Zhao's trick to target the peach trees.

Looking at the whole thing with this in mind, the answer becomes obvious. It is very likely that Xiaobai learned that the peach tree spirit had injured her soul in order to save Cherry, and found a human being who was easy to control and asked the other party to move the peach tree spirit to help her heal her injuries.

So he found Lao Zhaotou in the same way as the peach tree spirit found her. Tell the other party in the dream that the peach tree can help his son increase his marriage.

Of course, Old Zhaotou was willing to facilitate this matter, but Xiaobai had gone to great lengths to arrange it and chose a wealthy landowner. He never expected that something would go wrong with Aunt Cui.

The old couple of the Cui family were anxious to exchange the tree for money and excavated it secretly, causing the foundation of the peach tree spirit to be damaged again.

After this reasoning, I understand the reason why Xiaobai repeatedly tortured the Cui family.

Send a thank you expression to the dog-headed military advisor, and without further ado, head towards Old Zhao's house.

The decoration of Lao Zhao's house is based on that of a small villa in the city, and the door uses an electronic lock.

Lu Anru pressed the doorbell button, and a few seconds later a fat black woman appeared in the video above the doorbell and asked her in plastic Mandarin: "Who are you looking for Sui?"

"I am," an idea flashed in Lu Anru's mind, and he said with force, "Tell your male master that I am a friend of the immortal in his dream, and I came here today to tell you something important."

In this way, the superposition effect of the two layers can be achieved, which verifies the speculation just made.

If confirmed successfully, Xiaobai can be forced to show up.

After waiting anxiously for about five minutes, the luxurious iron door with carved dragons opened, and a chubby middle-aged man greeted him personally.

"I asked Aunt Cui yesterday about her ability to move peach trees. She told me about you. Please come in, little fairy."

The middle-aged man was accompanied by a boy in his twenties, who looked ordinary and had a pockmarked face. He must be the son of Lao Zhaotou.

The boy glanced at his father and reluctantly said, "Please come in."

Lu Anru followed the two of them into the Chinese-Western Garden, passed the fountain of unknown sculptures, and paused.

There was a peach tree stump on the lawn behind the fountain, and a skinny man in white stood quietly beside it. Everything was as she had guessed.

After saying a few perfunctory words to the Zhao family and his son, they walked directly to the peach tree stump.

"I didn't invite you." Xiaobai's attitude was very rude, but fortunately it proved that they knew each other.

Lu Anru smiled awkwardly at Old Man Zhao. Old Man Zhao adhered to the concept of fawning over a god so that he could avoid sin, and said flatteringly: "You guys chat, my son and I will make you a pot of good tea."

"OK."

After the father and son who didn't know the truth left, Lu Anru got straight to the point and said: "My mother saved the peach tree spirit, but the new peach tree branches are in unstable condition. Let's raise them again. When they are stable, I will exchange them with you. The peach tree tree will live in exchange for this." Dead pile."

"Greedy humans, I won't believe you as easily as she does. Go back, don't think about hitting this old tree stump, and think about the consequences for the elderly at home."

Refusal to show no room for maneuver carries a strong sense of threat.

Lu Anru was neither upset nor annoyed, and agreed cheerfully: "Okay, see you later."

Visiting the Zhao family will yield a wealth of information without having to worry too much. Besides, she didn't have the confidence to get entangled today. She would wait until the peach tree was nourished and new branches and leaves were grown before she could negotiate.

After returning home, Lu Anru did four things every day for the next week. In the dream, he discussed with the ghost doll how to replenish his vitality, and during the day he tried to use peach branches. Eat some delicious food every meal, and play games with Xiao Ming in your spare time.

The busy time flew by, and it was New Year's Eve just a few days after eating the New Year's dumplings. My father came from the capital of Xia Kingdom to reunite with them.
