Chapter Thirty-Four: Departure(1/2)
"Xiaoxia, are you going on a long trip?"
Early the next morning, my aunt looked at Li Xia who was packing her luggage and asked.
"Well, I have to go on a business trip." Li Xia responded.
"Where to go?"
"Lucheng."
"Lucheng?" My aunt was a little confused, "You are a clerk, why are you going to Lucheng on business?"
Li Xia was startled and said with a guilty conscience: "Well, isn't Lucheng still under reconstruction? Our company asked me to investigate and see how the recovery is going."
The aunt gave a dubious oh, then sighed softly and said, "Then please pay attention to your safety."
"Don't worry, aunt, I will do it!"
"Brother, remember to bring some specialties when you come back!" Su Ling, who had just finished brushing her teeth, said playfully.
Li Xia patted Su Ling's little head and said with a doting look on his face: "I just know how to eat!"
After packing his things, Li Xia set off.
Downstairs, Fenggu has been waiting for a long time.
Li Xia put on the mask and got into the car.
"I thought you weren't coming." Feng Gu glanced at Li Xia and teased.
"When you are in the world, you can't help yourself..." Li Xia sighed.
Feng Gu smiled and said no more.
After several rounds in Linghai City, the remaining few got on the bus one after another.
After everyone bought some bread at the convenience store and took a few bites, they set off in the direction of Lucheng.
"Team Feng, are we going by car this time?" Jiang Xiyan asked with some confusion.
"if not?"
"Why not ride the fire phoenix?"
Feng Gu rolled his eyes, "I don't need a rest?!"
Jiang Xiyan pursed her lips in grievance, "If you don't want to ride, then you won't ride. Why is it so cruel..."
"Team Feng, does Director Qiu know about our going to Lucheng?"
On the way, Wang Sicong asked worriedly.
Feng Gu smiled proudly and said, "Not only does she know, she also agrees to help you apply for mission points."
"If this mission is completed, you basically don't have to worry about the assessment."
"Really?!"
After hearing what Feng Gu said, Jiang Xiyan immediately beamed with joy, "In other words, we have a chance to qualify in advance?!"
Feng Gu nodded.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became cheerful.
Only Lan Ke looked sad and cast envious glances at Jiang Xiyan from time to time.
After driving north for three hours, Feng Gu stopped the car by a lake and prepared to rest for a while.
"Boy, come and chat with me?"
Suddenly, Feng Gu said to Li Xia.
Li Xia nodded.
Follow Fenggu towards the bamboo forest by the lake.
Not long after, a villa in the forest came into view.
"Do you know where this is?" Feng Gu turned to look at Li Xia.
"I don't know." Li Xia shook his head and said.
"my home."
Feng Gu pushed aside the grass in front of him and walked towards the house.
Li Xia was stunned for a moment and glanced around, seeing everything was deserted.
It's hard to imagine that people like Feng Gu would live in such a place before.
Following Feng Gu into the house, as expected, the house was extremely messy.
It is indeed the style of Fenggu.
"You know, I have actually decided to quit the Demon Slayer Tower." As he said that, Feng Gu lit a cigarette.
"Why?" Li Xia answered and found a relatively clean place to sit down.
"Because of the accident seven years ago." Feng Gu's tone was a little low.
Li Xia paused and said, "You mean, Teacher Yang's legs?"
"Well." Feng Gu took a long puff of cigarette, "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have broken that leg."
"Actually, I have always had a question. Doesn't the Demon Slayer Tower have very powerful treatment methods? Why can't Teacher Yang's legs be cured?"
Feng Gu sighed and said: "Because he was injured by a special spiritual weapon. That knife can block the healing power."
After speaking, the two fell into silence.
"Do you know why I came to Linghai City again?" Feng Gu continued.
Li Xia shook his head.
"because of you."
Li Xia frowned, a little surprised.
"That night, Lao Yang came to me. He said he had a good seedling on his hands and asked me to help him take good care of it."
"This is the first time in his life that Lao Yang has asked for something from me, and I can't refuse him."
Li Xia was silent.
Although he had already guessed about this, Li Xia was still a little shocked when he actually heard Feng Gu say it.
He didn't know why Yang Fei was so nice to him.
In other words, why Yang Fei is so responsible for everyone.
"Teacher Yang is always like this. He puts the people he cares about first, and himself always comes last."
"Yes, he is a good captain and a good teacher." Feng Gu sighed.
Looking down at the time, Feng Gu tidied up his mood and said, "It's almost time. It's time to continue on our way."
The two were just about to go out when a strange noise suddenly came from the bamboo forest outside the door.
Li Xia instantly became alert.
But Feng Gu patted him on the shoulder calmly and said toward the door: "We have followed you all the way, aren't you tired?"
After a few breaths, a familiar figure slowly approached from the depths of the bamboo forest.
"Qin Churan?!" Li Xia was shocked, "Why are you here?!"
"It's boring." Qin Churan said expressionlessly, "We were still discovered."
He patted the dust on his body and continued: "You team seven have been missing for so long. There must be something interesting going on, so I followed you."
"But how did you come here?"
Li Xia was very sure that they were not followed by any car along the way.
"He ran here." Qin Churan said calmly.
Li Xia:......
Is this something that a normal person can do?
Although Qin Churan is indeed a master of individual skills, even Xu Changyuan must be exhausted from such a long distance, right?!
What kind of pervert could do such a thing?!
"Is this your water?"
While Li Xia was still shocked, Qin Churan's voice suddenly came from behind, holding the water glass Li Xia had just drank from.
Li Xia nodded blankly.
Before he could react, Qin Churan drank all the water in the cup.
After finishing the drink, he licked his lips.
"You really don't see outsiders!" Feng Gu also looked shocked.
