Chapter 164 The so-called cannon fodder

Not two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Xiaodu heard from Sheng Fengxiu that Sheng Yuqing had caused trouble outside and was punished by Sheng Yuchi to kneel in the ancestral hall.

In the evening, Zhou Xiaodu went to the Sheng family ancestral hall in the dark to see him. The boy was sitting cross-legged on the worship mat, just like he usually did in the room.

Zhou Xiaodu wandered up to him with his hands behind his back and asked him: "Why did you hit Lu Da?"

Sheng Yuqing raised his eyes to look at her and said calmly: "He was the one who did it first."

"Then why did he hit you?"

Sheng Yuqing thought for a while and replied: "He is jealous of my handsomeness."

Zhou Xiaodu sneered, "That's it?"

Sheng Yuqing nodded guiltily.

Zhou Xiaodu actually believed him, and didn't blame him for not knowing the importance of his actions. After all, the young man was so energetic that he couldn't care enough about tit-for-tat.

She took out a bag of pastries from her sleeve and said, "You haven't eaten yet?"

The young man chuckled and raised his hand to take it, "Yes, Lao Shengtou didn't even give me food to eat."

He ate a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and was feeling a little choked when he saw Zhou Xiaodu squatting down and staring at him, and he stopped for a moment.

Zhou Xiaodu frowned and complained: "Tsk, you don't slap people in the face. This Lu Da is really ignorant."

After all, Lu Renyi was the proud disciple of the Silver Spear Sect. Sheng Yuqing dueled with him during the day, and it took a lot of effort to knock him down. Naturally, he himself also suffered some injuries, otherwise Sheng Yuchi said

He should be rewarded with a slap in the face, not simply punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall.

Compared with the injuries on his body, a little broken skin on his cheek seemed insignificant. But Zhou Xiaodu obviously didn't think so. Of course she could have expected that he was injured. She probably didn't take it to heart because he was still alive and kicking.

The only thing worth talking about was the small scratch on her face.

Sheng Yuqing felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. He swallowed the cake in his throat with some effort, smashed it in his mouth, and said, "What will you do if I am really disfigured?"

Zhou Xiaodu thought about that scene and frowned with regret, "Then I have to scratch that person's face."

"Then do you think I'm ugly?" he asked again.

Zhou Xiaodu raised his hand to cover it and said seriously: "If you cover it, you can still see."

"..."

When Zhou Xiaodu saw him glaring at him, he said, "I'll try not to dislike you."

"Try your best?" The puppy was still not satisfied.

"If you are filial to me, I will not despise you."

Sheng Yuqing: "..." He turned his back and didn't want to pay attention to her.

Zhou Xiaodu gritted his teeth and sat down, "Hey, I'm so kidding."

The stinky kid didn't look back, he just moved Tong Ren to look at her unraveled skirt, and the pure lotus green horse noodles were scattered messily on the floor.

It’s not too cold on the ground, he thought.

But there was only one worship mat here, and he didn't want to give it to Zhou Xiaodu just yet, so he said angrily: "Why are you still here? Do you want to tell me a bedtime story?"

"If you want to hear it, I can't..."

"I don't want to hear it."

"Oh." Zhou Xiaodu bared his teeth at him out of sight, stood up, patted his butt and left.

The walk was quite awkward.

Sheng Yuqing looked up at the memorial tablets in the room. He felt that all the dead old Sheng leaders were watching his joke. He couldn't help but turned over in annoyance and patted the worship mat he had just sat on.

Although this worship mat did not offend him.

On the top of the willow trees in the moonlight, I sat up all night again.

Besides, Young Master Lu Renyi, after being injured by Sheng Yuqing, perhaps he was recuperating at home and no longer came to harass Zhou Xiaodu. Sheng Fengxiu felt that his second son had finally done something human.

Lu Renyi became famous at a young age, and it has been a smooth journey, and he has grown up to be so big and proud of his peers. Why is it that this year, especially in the past few months, it is like stepping on shit, with bloody disasters and love failures? Big and small

Everything went wrong, even his most trusted follower was kidnapped by the third child.

The more Lu Renyi thought about it, the more he felt it was something evil, so he specially invited a mage to come and see him.

The old mage looked at his face, asked for a birth and horoscope fortune teller, shook his head, and sighed.

Lu Renyi's heart skipped a beat, "Master, what do you mean?"

"Donor, you are destined to have a calamity. You are in conflict with the evil star coming into the world. It is difficult to resolve it."

Lu Renyi frowned and said: "What does the evil star mean? What are the consequences if it cannot be resolved?"

"The secret must not be leaked." The old mage lowered his eyes and said, "I can only advise the donor, if you want to escape this disaster, remember not to go out in the near future, do not cause trouble, do not use weapons, do not move at all, or have a glimmer of hope.

"

Lu Renyi watched the old mage walk away, confused. Although the old mage's words were vague, they were like a spear that poked something open, making him feel slightly uneasy.

After that, Mr. Lu really stayed at home and stayed in bed every day, reading story books and recuperating.

There are often passionate words describing love in the storybook. Every time he reads it, he can't help but think of Madam Du. She is as beautiful and bright as the woman in the book. He has only met Madam Du.

Lu Renbing came to his room to give his grandma some chicken soup, and he stuffed his storybook under the quilt. After chatting with his second brother for a few words, Lu Renyi said with a bit of melancholy: "Brother, I miss Mrs. Du a little bit."

.”

The second brother didn't understand why he was obsessed with Mrs. Du. In terms of appearance, she was beautiful, but she had two eyes and one nose, and after looking at her for a long time, she was just like that. In terms of temperament, she was strong and savage, and she didn't take soft or hard, and she was completely useless.

There is no need to mention the qualities that a delicate daughter should have; in terms of family background.

Lu Renyi said bluntly: "She is different. She is very special. She is as cold as a ball of fire. This is the first time I have seen such a person."

"Brother, fire is hot..." Lu Renbing was speechless, and then poured cold water on his eldest brother, saying: "You miss others, but they may not miss you. You are trapped at home and can't get out. Maybe others will be happy."

It’s quiet.”

Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

Lu Renyi felt ashamed when he thought about being forced to admit defeat by Sheng Er that day, and frowned, "Second brother, tell me, does she like the second son of the Sheng family?"

"Xia?" Lu Er said in surprise, "Can't you? She likes the old man of the Sheng family just about the same, but isn't she and Sheng Er a generation apart?"

Lu Renyi patted the bed board, "Yeah, I just said it's a lifetime ago, and that guy Sheng Er will definitely deny it!"

After Lu Renbing was surprised, he thought about the relationship between the two of them, and then realized: "But Sheng Er and I are the same generation. So, brother, you are also a lifetime shorter than Mrs. Du."

"This! How can this be the same?! Mrs. Du is not our wife." Lu Renyi started to chase people away, "Go away, why don't you just talk nonsense here and trouble your brother!"

Lu Er was driven away by him, and Lu Renyi sat on the bed, drinking chicken soup and feeling a dull pain in his chest and abdomen.

His injury didn't heal so easily. It was all because of that kid from the Sheng family who was as vicious as a mad dog and showed no mercy at all. He looked very much like the temporary worker from the Sheng family who beat them up at Buzhuang that day... It must be that one.

His servants taught him this, and the two of them are the same person.

Lu Renyi thought angrily and suddenly made a move.

His bad luck seems to have started from the day Sheng Er recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, and all the bad luck, big and small, had something to do with that kid...

Is that boy Sheng Yuqing the "evil star" that the old master said came to this world? The old master kept himself in seclusion, but actually told him not to provoke this guy again?

Since this idea emerged, it has been haunting Lu Renyi like an evil spirit, becoming a layer of darkness in his heart.

He began to have frequent nightmares, dreaming that he was killed by the young man in the dark night - not a sword, but a knife, a long black knife with strange patterns, and "Chaos" was engraved near the handle.

Two words.

It was all a dream, and he had never seen Sheng Yuqing use a knife in reality, but those scenes were as clear as if they had really happened, and he could see every detail.

Including the gloomy look in the young man's eyes when he brandished a knife towards his face.

He tried to resist in his dreams, but failed every time. Every time, he was cut off by a knife. The pain was only a brief moment, but the fear of facing death was boundless.

Such nightmares haunted him, like gangrene in the bones. It wasn't until one night when he heard voices and was suddenly awakened that Lu Renyi realized that he was holding his beloved red-tasseled gun in the courtyard.

In front of the temple, there were a group of guards surrounding his father's second brother.

He was sleepwalking. He was holding a spear and wanted to rush out of the mansion.

His father asked him, "My son, what's going on?"

He knew that it was fate that drove him to find the evil star and die.

Lu Renyi was heartbroken and said with a white face: "It's just a nightmare. If there is a next time, just stop me." He threw the spear to the ground and ordered his servants to keep it for him and not to let it out again.

.

From then on, he still stayed at home to recuperate from his illness, but he was plagued by nightmares and felt that he was useless, so his illness actually got worse and worse.

The doctor advised: "Young master, this is frustration and worry, excessive worry, which leads to poor sleep and eating, and stagnation of qi and blood. This is a heart disease, and it needs more treatment to cure it."

The family couldn't understand how he could become depressed while staying at home eating and drinking well. After thinking about it, he felt that it was Sheng Yuqing who was responsible for the harm, so he suggested: "We will bring Sheng Er to you to make amends.

Do you think you can calm down?"

Lu Renyi was frightened and said no, what he was most afraid of now was seeing Sheng Er. And to be honest, he didn't feel that it was caused by a heart disease, but that he felt that a disaster was pressing upon him, and he was not injured until it was too late.

See you soon.

The Lu family had no choice but to ask him what he wanted to do to make him happy.

Lu Renyi hesitated and finally said: "I want to leave Guangling and go to other places." If you can't offend him, why can't you hide?

Although his family felt that this move was inappropriate, they could not defeat him in the end and had to send dozens of slaves to escort him out of the city. Unexpectedly, not long after he left the city, the carriage was sent back again——

The servants accompanying him said that the eldest young master suffered from angina pectoris in the carriage, died within two seconds, and died suddenly outside Guangling City.

The Lu family suddenly fell into misery and misery. After looking at it, the person who invited the autopsy explained: "It was because of physical and mental exhaustion, great sadness and joy, that the body could not bear it, and that's why he died."

Lu Renbing looked at his brother's cold body, with hatred in his eyes, and said impulsively: "Brother said that he always dreamed that Sheng Er wanted to kill him. Sheng Er must have done something...he ran out of the country.

It’s not impossible for a little bastard to know how to use witchcraft to do something evil.”

Mother Lu's face was wet and she covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense. What's the use of talking about it now..."
