Chapter 318 A match made in heaven

It was not until Bai Shu and Lu Jingxiu got rid of the dense lights and walked towards the dark and remote place on the gravel road that Bai Shu finally came to his senses from the inexplicable emotions just now.

Walking further forward is a sheltered valley. I don’t know when the momentum of cold rain was suppressed by the dark clouds. The cold wind was infinitely amplified at this moment, driving Bai Shu to walk into the valley quickly.

This is a large quarry, with gravels all over the mountain, a few dim lights, and a bunch of young and middle-aged men, standing or squatting around the soup pot beside the fire, rising or sitting, holding a bowl of rice to eat.

All the people in the stone field were wearing blue and black, with wet stones, and the dark valley was the same color. Only Bai Shu and Lu Jingxiu's gray Taoist robes were a bit white, as if they were two white pieces that were in a panic of black chess.

A big man ate the things in the bowl in a few bites, stood up and said something that neither Bai Shu nor Lu Jingxiu understood.

Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, the big man said in a stiff tone again: "If you stay in a hotel, you should go back. Our sand farm will not do business with outsiders."

Lu Jingxiu waved his hand quickly and said, "We grandfather and grandson want to find a place to stay for one night..."

Before Lu Jingxiu's guest finished speaking, the man said with a gloomy face: "Continue walking forward, there is a circle of graves, and there is an empty coffin for you to live in."

After saying this, even though Lu Jing had excellent qi cultivation skills, he could not control his anger. He was about to come forward to argue with the man, but was stopped by Bai Shu.

This time, Bai Shu dragged Lu Jingxiu back. God knows what Lu Jingxiu's cultivation is, how many years he has to live in the world. The older he is, the more he cares about life and death. The man asked Lu Jingxiu to live in the coffin, which was like a curse Lu Jingxiu to die. No wonder Lu Jingxiu was angry. Even he could not avoid such things.

Bai Shu was dragging his cold and tired body and was about to leave, when a middle-aged man suddenly stood up beside the fire, waved to Bai Shu and said, "Come here to cook the fire. It's cold, and you can't find a place to stay if you go to search."

Ya'er was talking about little boys, Dou'er was talking about little girls, and this was the first time Bai Shu was called this. He comforted Lu Jingxiu for a few words, and then walked forward. Lu Jingxiu naturally also got Bai Shu's light and approached the fire.

The middle-aged man had a kind face and explained to Bai Shu: "Shanzi has been deceived by outsiders before, and he spoke a little, don't care about you two."

Bai Shu said indifferently: "It is better to be more aggressive when you are guarding against others, but our grandfather and grandson are alone and unable to cause any storm."

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement and said, "My surname is Qi Xingsan. I have been doing ore trading in Wuqu for many years. You can stay here for one night today, and leave here as soon as tomorrow dawn."

Bai Shu didn't recognize her child and said to Qi Lao San: "Uncle San, my grandfather and I are here to make a living. Of course, we want to live for a while. It's not that we'll just arrive today and go back tomorrow."

Old San Qi looked at Bai Shu and Lu Jingxiu again with a strange expression, smashed his mouth and said, "What are you going to Wuqu to make a living? No one from other people can afford it."

Lu Jingxiu gently stroked his beard and said inexplicably: "The old Taoist was watching the stars three years ago, and he saw a lucky star fall. I searched for three years and finally found the place Wuqu. This time, the old Taoist didn't want to miss it. And it was hard to say that this was also an opportunity for you Wuqu."

The third son of Qi naturally disbelief and thought that Lu Jingxiu was talking nonsense and was also cheating. He felt even more disdainful, so he stopped paying attention to Lu Jingxiu and instead said to Bai Shu: "If Xiaoyaer has nothing to do tomorrow, she can turn around inside and outside the mine to see if she has any responsibility to take on the job. I can make the decision to let you do it."

Qi Laosan paused slightly and said, "Don't talk about the amount of wages, I'd like to eat and sleep well, so I won't miss my health."

After saying that, Qi Laosan looked at Lu Jingxiu with a little contempt, then walked to the soup pot, served the broth for the night and handed it over to Bai Shu.

This sand field is mostly full of energy, so there are a lot of meat in the soup. The most important thing is that after a bowl of broth, Bai Shu became warm. The chill that had been soaked in ice water for a day was also dispelled.

Lu Jingxiu had no meat soup, so he could only chew the dried cakes reluctantly and looked at Bai Shu. Bai Shu muttered in his heart that Lu Jingxiu was really a person with thousands of faces. Bai Shu didn't know that Lu Jingxiu was his true face at that moment, or rather, Lu Jingxiu was originally changing.

When getting along with people like Lu Jingxiu, Bai Shu will never be able to guess his next behavior or his true thoughts. This is Bai Shu's fear of the unknown to the greatest extent when he is with Lu Jingxiu.

The night was getting deeper, and the autumn rain that had just rested for a while also sparsely fell again. Bai Shu sat by the fire, held her chin with her hands, and looked at the mountains and forests in the distance with melancholy.

The rolling mountains blocked the sky, and drew a clear boundary in the blue-gray horizon. The deep darkness slowly rippled under Bai Shu's concentrating beside the night sky, like the blooming black lotus.

There was silence in the mountains, and from time to time a dog bark came, all of which were particularly clear.

For some reason, Bai Shu looked at the mountains and sky in the distance, and suddenly looked forward to the world behind the mountains, wanting to climb to the highest high point and take a look at the sunrise and sunset in Wuqu.

It must be dazzling and fascinating.

It seems that I have never seen the sky and mountains on rainy days, and in the end Bai Shu was pulled into the house by the big man named Shanzi.

Most of the houses in the sand field are in mine caves, dark and humid, but they look particularly warm because of the dense crowds of people and the bonfires burning.

Bai Shu and Lu Jingxiu only shared a small bed with a musty smell in the corner. The two of them sat together, wrapped in a thin blanket to keep warm, ready to fall asleep in this way at any time.

Bai Shu's sleep was as bad as ever, especially in this nauseating mine cave with a snoring sound.

The others had fallen asleep, but only Lu Jingxiu squinted his eyes slightly, took out a wine pot from his arms, and drank the wine in small mouthfuls.

Bai Shu whispered to Lu Jingxiu, "Is there any lucky star in this Wuqu?"

Lu Jingxiu mocked Bai Shu and said, "You won't believe all this, you are naturally lying to them."

Bai Shu was suddenly angry because he felt that people like Lu Jingxiu would definitely not lie, and no matter what strange things he said, they might be true.

Lu Jingxiu took a sip of wine and said to Bai Shu: "Why, are you angry? Have you noticed that your kid's personality is becoming more and more like an ordinary person, and it is better than the perverted temperament before."

Bai Shu was stunned and realized that after waking up this time, he had already felt something he shouldn't have. The first time he swung his arms and sleeves to fight with someone else, and the second time he was just inexplicably angry with Lu Jingxiu.

"You are the pervert, the old pervert!" Bai Shu cursed angrily.

Lu Jingxiu laughed loudly, fortunately his laughter could not overwhelm the snoring of others, otherwise it would be another trouble.

Bai Shu is not without the emotions that ordinary people have, but Bai Shu habitually restrains and hides these emotions. Therefore, in places like Wuqu, Bai Shu does not have any concerns, but rather is willing to show his true self in front of others.

Bai Shu had too many secrets in his heart, carrying too many, and acting in front of others for too long. So although Bai Shu's situation was not good at this moment, he felt unprecedented ease.

He doesn't even need to practice. Where can he be called real pressure?

Soon Bai Shu fell asleep in the noise. The sweetness of dreams defeated all Bai Shu's concerns and burdens. The last time he fell asleep, it seemed that he was still a distant and unreal life.

There was nothing to say all night. Although it did not rain on Wuqu the next day, the sky was still gloomy. The whole world seemed to be trapped in a whirlpool of green, and it would never be able to escape such melancholy and sad tones.

When Bai Shu woke up, it was already early in the morning before entering the sand field. He saw Lu Jingxiu setting up tables and chairs near the gate inside the sand field and setting up a divination stall.

But at this time, the workers in the sand yard were busy, and no one was paying attention to Lu Jingxiu. Bai Shu even suspected that when those men finished their work, they would carry Lu Jingxiu's neck and throw him out of the door like a little chicken.

This scene subconsciously appeared in Bai Shu's mind and couldn't help laughing. Lu Jingxiu was closing his eyes to rest, but suddenly seemed to have noticed it. He opened his eyes and looked at Bai Shu.

Bai Shu suddenly felt a sense of fear of being able to see through his bad words. He quickly closed his smile and walked slowly to Lu Jingxiu.

When Bai Shu got close to it, he realized that the fortune teller on the table in front of Lu Jingxiu was equipped with everything, from tortoise shells to copper coins, and from hexagrams to yarrow, it seemed like that.

Seeing Bai Shu looking at his fortune-telling tool, Lu Jingxiu nodded slightly, and asked, "Why, boy, do you also ask if you can do divination?"

The little thing in Bai Shu's belly may be worthy of praise in front of others, but it is really not worth mentioning for Lu Jingxiu.

But Bai Shu still pretended to be mysterious and said, "I only know a little about this."

Bai Shu knew that the more humble he was, the more he could make others unable to understand his own depth and the less he would be underestimated.

Who would have thought that Lu Jingxiu immediately said disdainfully: "Just brag, and if you turn around and ask you to do a few orders, you will definitely be exposed."

Bai Shu's face suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and she turned her head and said, "I'm not a fortune teller, what kind of business I'll take?"

Bai Shu finished his words and said, "And the palm lines you showed me and Dong Se are not accurate."

When Bai Shu talked about this, he was still angry. He pointed at Lu Jingxiu's nose and scolded: "I'll go, your (mom) is incompatible. Dong Se and I are in harmony. No one can break up us!"
