Chapter 25: Lu Qingwen's Scheming
Huang Chaojie lives in a newly built high-end community. According to our innkeeper, it's not too far from here. It only takes about ten minutes to walk. So Lu Qingwen and I walked slowly along the street. I felt that she had something to say to me alone.
explain.
Sure enough, before walking far, Lu Qingwen said: "Brother Zhang, do you still have any objections to me?"
I said calmly: "No."
Xiaoxue snickered in my heart: "Hehe, let's start confessing!"
I secretly frowned, why did Xiaoxue always think she liked me? However, Lu Qingwen used to call me Brother Xuanming, but now she calls me Brother Zhang. It seems a little different.
Lu Qingwen said: "I think you are very kind to others, like brothers and sisters, but you are very polite to me and have a sense of distance."
I didn't answer. I thought to myself: You have caused me so much misery. I wish I didn't regard you as my enemy. What else do you want?
Lu Qingwen sighed quietly: "I used to be ignorant and really annoying, and you became like this because I couldn't calm down and got angry. It's right for you to be angry with me, but now I want to try my best to make up for it.
Ah. My grandpa taught me a lesson before, but I refused to accept it. When I went to your house to apologize to you last year, I was still a little reluctant, but now I really know that I was wrong."
This was her first sincere apology, so I turned around and smiled at her: "It's all in the past, so why bring it up? However, we have different life experiences and are different types of people, so the distance you mentioned may be
That’s what came about.”
Lu Qingwen's mood improved immediately: "It's no different. In fact, I admire your calmness, competence and strength. If I were in your situation, I wouldn't be able to bear it. I really want to help you, so I hope
If you can treat me as a friend with all your heart, I will try my best to do whatever you need me to do."
When she said this, her expression was serious, her eyes were straight and clear, and she obviously meant what she said, so I nodded: "It seems that you have really grown up, and your grandpa doesn't have to worry about you anymore."
Lu Qingwen blushed a little, showing a rare girlish shyness, and avoided my eyes: "It sounds like I am specifically making trouble for my grandfather."
"Ha ha……"
We continued to move forward, and my mood improved a lot. After all, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy, and it is better to forgive someone than to hate someone. She did come to express her feelings to me, but she expressed her apology and
understanding.
After walking a few steps, Lu Qingwen asked again: "Brother Zhang, you have found all eight jade talismans. When do you want to go back?"
"Is this..." It's hard for me to answer. I've thought about this question many times. If I could do it all over again, how should I arrange my life and experience? The bigger question is, does going back to the past mean starting all over again?
Do I have the memory of now? Can I escape from the clutches of fate?
I told the truth: "I haven't thought about it yet, because I don't know if I can remember the current events after time travel, and what will happen to people in this time and space after time travel."
Lu Qingwen immediately said: "Of course you can't remember what happened now, otherwise you will know what will happen in the future, and you will become a living god, which is contrary to nature. Going back to the past only allows you to face choices, because of your
If you make other choices due to different xinxing, the results will be different. To put it simply, you have the opportunity to make a new choice."
There is some truth to this, but how could she think so deeply? I looked at Lu Qingwen in confusion. This time she did not avoid it, she looked at me bravely, her beautiful phoenix eyes sparkled: "If you could go back to the past
, can you return to Beikeng Village one day? Maybe you will agree to become my grandfather as your teacher. With your qualifications and hard work, you will definitely be able to accomplish a lot, and you won’t have to suffer so much and suffer so much."
I was stunned. I'm not a fool. How could I not understand what she meant? She really fell in love with me, but she also knew very well that the relationship between me and Lin Mei was unbreakable. It was impossible for me to fall in love with someone else, so
She hopes that when I have the chance to choose again, I can choose her. Although this idea is a bit childish and ridiculous, her feelings are real and touching.
Xiaoxue smiled proudly in my heart: "How about it, let me get it right! Who am I, a fox fairy for more than 800 years, who can hide Xiao Jiujiu in his heart from me? But I also know that you can't
I like her, so I’m not worried at all. Humph, if you became Lu Chengshan’s apprentice, it would be weird if you didn’t suffer from her anger all day long!”
I couldn't say anything too hurtful, so I said politely: "The jade talisman hasn't been found yet, so I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it later."
"Yeah." Lu Qingwen responded, slightly disappointed.
We continued walking forward, and after walking for a while I said, "Feng Feng is a pretty good person."
Lu Qingwen curled her lips: "Don't you think he is superficial? I know him very well. He is good to me now. On the one hand, he wants my grandpa to value him. On the other hand, I have not become his girlfriend. If I
If I marry him, he won't be so kind to me, how can he be like you and Lin Mei."
I'm speechless. It's better not to talk about this matter. The more I talk about it, the more confusing it becomes.
Xiaoxue also sighed in my heart: "You and Lin Mei are indeed enviable. I am also envious and hateful. But fortunately, I have already taken the lead and have secured half of the country. Hehe..."
"..."
After a while, I found the community where Huang Chaojie lived. He was already waiting for me at the door. When he saw me, he immediately shook hands with me and said welcome warmly. Then he looked at Lu Qingwen up and down: "This is..."
I didn't know how to describe my relationship with Lu Qingwen, but Lu Qingwen already extended her hand generously: "My name is Lu Qingwen, and I am his friend."
"Oh, hello, hello." Huang Chaojie shook hands with Lu Qingwen decently, and then winked at me, "Your friend is very beautiful!"
Is this guy implying that I am a playboy? Lu Qingwen smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
As we walked inside, Huang Chaojie kept looking at me with some confusion: "I would like to ask, after how many days I haven't seen you, your hair has turned a lot grayer?"
I said seriously: "Brother Huang is a doctor, and I wanted to ask you to find out what's wrong with my body. Why is my hair suddenly so gray?"
Huang Chaojie glanced at me up and down several times and said: "I am not an expert in this field, but the general cause of gray hair in teenagers is still known. Generally, the growth function of hair pigment cells declines and they cannot produce enough melanin particles. The reason for the impact
It may be mental, nutritional or disease related. You suddenly gained a lot and your body looks normal, so you can rule out nutrition and disease. It should be due to excessive mental stress and fatigue..."
It is true that I am often overstressed and tired, but this is definitely not the main reason. I asked: "If a person originally had a life span of sixty years, but for some reason it became twenty years, would that mean that he would die when he was nineteen years old?
Aging like someone in their fifties?”
"Shouyuan? You are talking about how old the fortune teller said you will live, right? That will never lead to premature aging, only sudden death. Besides, I don't believe in fate. How many years did the plane crash happen?
Hundreds of people died at the same time, and these hundreds of people all deserved to die and happened to be together? An earthquake happened, tens of thousands of people died, and they were all destined to die at the same time? This is ridiculous!"
Huang Chaojie was a little excited. He probably felt that what he said was too extreme, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I said too far. I think you are just under too much mental pressure. Isn't there an ancient saying that your hair turns gray overnight? No matter what happens, just be open-minded.
, there is nothing difficult to deal with.”
I could only smile bitterly. Isn't it asking for trouble to talk to a doctor about longevity and destiny?
Huang Chaojie's home is on the fifth floor. When I entered the door, I found a young woman inside. She was tall, with short shoulder-length hair and an oval face. She was not very dazzling, and she was kind and blessed. She was the type of a good wife and mother who could run a household and have a prosperous husband.
Huang Chaojie introduced her as his girlfriend, named Jie Fanping, and she was an accountant.
After Ji Fanping said hello to us, she was busy preparing the food in the kitchen. Huang Chaojie accompanied me and Lu Qingwen to drink food and chat. I secretly observed his home, which has three bedrooms and one living room. It is decorated in a simple and elegant way, quite tasteful, and is in line with the "turtle" medicine.
The identity of the doctor is consistent. There are many doctors in his study
There are books on academics, a set of computers, and there is an enlarged photo of him and Jie Fanping on the wall... Everything is normal. This is a family with good financial conditions. I can't see anything wrong. Lu Qingwen and
I exchanged glances, and she didn't see anything wrong.
While chatting, I asked unexpectedly: "Brother Huang, have you ever heard of the Xuanming Sect?"
Huang Chaojie was stunned for a moment: "This, this... I've never heard of it."
Xiaoxue immediately said in my heart: "If he tells a lie, he must have heard about it. If he doesn't tell it, I will confuse him!"
I stared at Huang Chaojie closely: "I am seeking revenge from Taoist Cangwu. As far as I know, he is from the Xuanming Sect. This matter is very important to me. If Brother Huang knows, please tell me!"
Huang Chaojie showed a slightly embarrassed look, glanced at the kitchen, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I have heard of the name Xuanming Sect. It is said that they are a group of very mysterious people, all related to exorcising corpses and ghosts. The local
People say that mentioning this name will bring bad luck, so this name is never mentioned lightly."
I asked: "Then do you know where their personnel are?"
Huang Chaojie shook his head repeatedly: "How can I know this, but I heard that in a valley not far southwest of Changsheng Temple, there was a very scary cave that no one dared to approach... Well, I advise you not to look for it.
They are, these people are really scary."
Lu Qingwen and I asked a few questions, but we didn't find out anything useful. However, Huang Chaojie was very interested in magic and repeatedly asked to perform it for him. He was my savior and I couldn't refuse, so I took two lives.
The eggs were grasped in both hands, using the Xuan Yin claws on one side and the Yang Yang claws on the other. In less than two minutes, one egg was cooked, but there were signs of freezing inside the other egg.
Then Lu Qingwen performed a little trick of turning wine into water. These are not actually spells. They are just for laymen to satisfy their curiosity. Real spells may not be good-looking.
After dinner, Lu Qingwen and I said goodbye. Before leaving, Xiaoxue quietly left me and stayed at Huang Chaojie's house. No matter how he saved my life, I couldn't force a confession just because I had a little suspicion, but let Xiaoxue stay at his house.
Chapter completed!
