While Zhu Wushuang sighed in her heart, she did not forget Tong Xiangyu's instructions and continued to drag Chen Hai around the town. When it was almost noon, she took Chen Hai to Tongfu Inn.
As soon as he arrived at the door, a sour smell of vinegar rushed directly into Chen Hai's nose. The smell was at least as strong as if a whole basin of vinegar had been spilled.
"What happened? Is he jealous? Did someone run away?" Chen Hai walked in, looked at the empty living room, turned around and looked at Zhu Wushuang and said.
Zhu Wushuang was also full of questions. She had completed her task and had sent Chen Hai away for a long time. In her opinion, with so much time spent on thinking of a solution, she should have figured it out long ago. If she hadn't figured it out yet, then it would be a waste of time.
Besides, Chen Hai is still a wounded soldier. It is not reasonable to drag him around all the time. The wounded soldier needs to rest.
But no matter how much Zhu Wushuang thought about it, he never imagined that this would be the scene when he returned. Regardless of whether he had figured out a solution or not, there should be no one left alone in the inn.
And what's with that vinegar smell in the air? Is this going to make Guo Furong's father faint
Coincidentally, at this moment, there was a noise coming from the backyard. The two looked at each other and walked towards the backyard together.
Chen Hai poked his head out from behind the door curtain.
Sure enough, all the people in the inn were there, and they were divided into clear groups. One group included Tong Xiangyu, Bai Zhantang and all the other people in the inn, and the other group had only one person.
The man standing alone in the line had a mighty and imposing figure. Looking at him from behind, Chen Hai seemed to see a majestic mountain and could vaguely hear the sound of waves hitting the mountain wall.
"Oh my God, the scholar is about to break a rock on his chest!" Zhu Wushuang glanced at him and said in surprise in a low voice.
Lu Qinghou is at the bottom of the list in terms of martial arts. Not to mention breaking a rock on his chest, even if you give him a hammer, it will take him a while to smash it.
"What big stone are you breaking? That's a plasterboard." Chen Hai took a look at the stone slab beside the well and told the truth directly.
These people can't be more sophisticated in their fraud. They have no experience at all. The plaster used to disguise the stone slabs has the wrong color and the wrong smell. It would be strange if it could fool anyone.
Just as Chen Hai expected, it was the gypsum board, and he was not the only one who discovered this. Guo Juxia, Guo Furong's father, saw through Lu Qinghou's little tricks at a glance.
He also climbed up to his current position step by step from the bottom. If this trick could have fooled his eyes, he would have no chance of survival and would have been killed in the process of climbing up.
"Hey, what's going on?" Chen Hai looked at the tense atmosphere inside and asked in a low voice, "Who is that person?"
"It's Miss Guo's father, the famous hero Guo Ju in the martial arts world. But I don't know the specific situation. I heard that her father doesn't seem to agree with her and Xiucai being together." Zhu Wushuang explained in a low voice.
"Oh, I understand. You are here to break up the couple." Chen Hai nodded. This kind of thing is very common in every era, but most of the time it is the man who is dissatisfied with the woman. Unexpectedly, it is the opposite here.
"No, I have to go help them." Zhu Wushuang became a little anxious after watching Guo Juxia explain all the preparations they had made for so long.
Chen Hai quickly grabbed her and said, "Wouldn't it be a nuisance if you went in now? The plasterboard, telescopic chopsticks, iron sand palms, and vinegar soaked hands have all been found. What's the point of you going in? Stay calm first and see what's going on."
"Uncle Guo, let me get this straight. I have never practiced martial arts. Even if I had, what would it matter? Mencius said, 'Wealth and honor cannot corrupt, and might and power cannot bend.' Can violence solve all problems? Can I take care of Sister Fu for the rest of my life just by looking at my martial arts skills?"
Lu Qinghou spoke a long and passionate speech. Not only did his words make sense, but they also showed his attitude. It was a very good impromptu defense. Chen Hai almost applauded him after listening to it.
This person is quite educated. He speaks very eloquently and quotes from classics.
"I understand. I get what you mean. You must be very confident in your wisdom." Guo Juxia leaned on the graphite. He had heard countless words more cultured than this. Let alone applauding, he even wanted to yawn.
If the civil servants in the court wanted to speak, they could use countless allusions from beginning to end.
"I don't have much wisdom, but I have a sincere heart and the courage to never turn back until I hit the wall! I'm going to give it my all. I want to be with him!" Lu Qinghou said very firmly.
However, to Chen Hai, a bystander, this was an absolute failure. Without martial arts, wisdom, and courage, wouldn't that just be recklessness? Not to mention sincerity, this kind of thing can be said between lovers, but now facing the parents, it is equivalent to facing reality, this thing is probably useless.
And the biggest mistake Lu Qinghou made was, how could he say that he was worthless in front of his father-in-law? Even if he didn't brag, he should still be honest!
However, Lu Qinghou's courage to stand up for love and face Guo Juxia did slightly move Guo Juxia, and also gave their love a chance.
When Guo Juxia turned around, he immediately saw Zhu Wushuang and Chen Hai standing by the door.
"This is..."
"Hello, my name is Chen Hai." Chen Hai said with a fist.
"I know you. Speaking of which, I have to apologize to you. Guo Qiangwei's matter was also due to our poor discipline. I apologize to you on behalf of her parents."
Chen Hai smiled as he listened to Guo Juxia's words, but he became more suspicious.
I have just arrived in this world, and Guo Qiangwei's incident happened yesterday. How did he know about it? Someone must have tipped him off.
"You don't have to be so polite. My injuries are no longer serious." Chen Hai replied.
"I'm glad you're okay. So, I heard that you wanted to learn martial arts, so I happened to bring a book with me when I came here. Although it records the more common martial arts, it has my annotations, which should be helpful to you." Guo Juxia said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Hai thought a little more deeply. He estimated that his background had already been checked by Guo Juxia. Fortunately, the identity arranged by the main god space was quite powerful and could withstand the inspection.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo Ju." Chen Hai was not pretentious. Refusing at this time would do nothing but waste time and make the other party feel hypocritical.
Guo Furong patted Bai Zhantang lightly and winked at him, "It's over, one of us has been turned against us, what should we do?"
"It's okay. Your sister doesn't know all the things you told her. Chen Hai probably doesn't know these things. Don't worry." Bai Zhantang blinked and responded.
