Chapter 22 The Encounter
During breakfast, Teacher Lu Chuanming finally discovered something wrong with Lu Chong's body. He coughed continuously and even brought out some blood. Although Lu Chong tried his best to endure it, he still looked painful.
Teacher Lu Chuanming asked Lu Chong what happened. Lu Chong had to answer that he fell down after getting up last night and touched his chest. Teacher Lu Chuanming decided to rest here for two days, and then asked the shop assistant to invite a doctor to catch medicine. Lu Chong knew that the injury should be taken slowly and did not say anything else.
When he was free, Lu Chong sat in the backyard of the shop, carving a few puppets, but was thinking about what happened last night. Seeing Huang Hu and Chen Dong attached great importance to treasures, they were not just planning to recover these treasures for the Yue family, but they were afraid they would also have the intention of taking them alone, otherwise they would not have been waiting in Huanglong City for so long.
They also said about Teacher Lu Chuanming's strength and the people who secretly reported to Lu Fang made Lu Chong feel that this trip to Qinghe City would not be so smooth, and he had to be careful to make more preparations.
"Hey, this puppet is so beautiful!" A crisp voice came.
Lu Chong looked up and found that he was the youngest son of the shop owner, an eight- or nine-year-old boy named Yaya.
Lu Chong looked at the innocent child's appearance and became a little happy, saying to the child: "Yaya, do you like it?"
"Yeah." Yaya responded, looking eager.
Lu Chong smiled happily and said, "Then take it all."
"Really, it's great!" After saying that, he suddenly grabbed one of the puppets and ran away quickly.
Lu Tong didn't take this matter to heart. It was not until the afternoon that Lu Tong felt that her body had finally recovered, her cough decreased, and her qi and blood in her body began to stabilize. It seemed that a high-quality physique was different from the general one.
At this time, the shop owner came over to express his gratitude to Lu Chong, praising the exquisiteness of the puppets carved by Lu Chong, which was better than the craftsmanship of the master in the wooden shop in the town. Then he introduced a girl with a maid behind him to Lu Chong, saying that she was a resident of the shop. When he saw the puppet carved by Lu Chong, he wanted to find Lu Chong to carve, and then he stepped out.
The maid was about fourteen or five years old, and her pale yellow dress made her look beautiful. She looked at Lu Chong's puppet for a while and then said, "It's true that my lady has an object that can fly in the air. She broke it. I asked the master of the town to repair it. Unfortunately, they have never seen it before, and they don't know how to repair it. Can you repair it? I will pay you coins."
"Let me take a look." Lu Chong replied faintly.
The maid took out an object, and Lu Chong was surprised when he saw it, because it was a flying pigeon he made himself. The outside of the wooden pigeon was not damaged, but the internal mechanism was damaged.
Lu Chong took apart the wooden pigeon, reassembled the machine piece, sealed the lid at the bottom, and activated the adjustment machine piece. The wooden pigeon flew up in the air. When the maid saw that it had really been repaired, she shouted happily, took the wooden pigeon and ran away.
Lu Chong smiled and shook her head, watching the maid running into a room in the yard, without calling her.
The autumn dusk reflects the earthen walls of the backyard of the "Ping An Inn" red, and a beautiful sunset is depicted. Lu Chong sits on a wooden chair in the yard, enjoying this rare tranquility.
But a tiny sound of footsteps broke the silence at this moment. Lu Chong opened his slightly closed eyes and saw two girls walking towards him. In front was the maid, followed by a girl, dressed in green, and her gentle footsteps were in a harmonious rhythm. On her fair and beautiful face, there were bright big eyes looking forward to love.
The maid came close and said to the girl, "Miss, it was he who repaired it."
The girl nodded to Lu Chong and said, "Thank you for your help, Yan'er, give the little master a silver coin."
The maid took out a silver coin and handed it to Lu Chong. Lu Chong did not refuse and said casually: "This flying wooden pigeon was made in Qinghe City, right?"
"Yes! It was bought by our lady specially asked someone to ask him to do it. Hey, how do you know?" the maid suddenly closed her mouth and asked.
Lu Tong said quietly: "We don't have one in Huanglong City yet. Qinghe City has a Lu family's main store. I guess it should be made there."
The maid said in confusion: "Depending on your young age and skill, you must be the master of the Lu family, right?"
Lu Tong thought to himself that the maid was smart, so he said, "I am Xiumutong from the Lu family, and I am not a master yet. This time I went to Qinghecheng Main Store to assess the master level."
The maid was about to speak, but she heard the girl say, "The little master is so real. Thank you again, Yan'er, let's go! Don't bother the little master."
At this moment, a noisy sound came from outside the yard, and then gradually calmed down. Two people came from the gate of the yard. In front was a smiling teacher Lu Chuanming, followed by a sixteen-seven-year-old girl. The girl was wearing red clothes, and her agile steps exuded a heroic and refreshing momentum.
Teacher Lu Chuanming said to Lu Chong: "Xiao Chong, come here quickly, let me introduce you to you. This is Gao Lanfeng from Changxing Escort Agency in Huanglong City. She has good kung fu and has been escorting for many years."
Gao Lanfeng hurriedly said, "Uncle Chuanming, it's a bit exaggerating to say this. You are a martial arts master."
Teacher Lu Chuanming said happily: "Lan Feng, this is Lu Chong from our Lu Fang, a genius among the wood-mastering boys."
Lu Chong was a little embarrassed by Teacher Lu Chuanming, so he had to say, "Teacher Chuanming, why are you walking with Miss Gao?"
Gao Lanfeng rushed to say, "Our escort agency is going to escort a lady to Liuyunzhou. I happened to meet Uncle Chuanming here. I heard that you are going to Qinghe City and we have to pass by there, so I discussed with Uncle Chuanming the day after tomorrow and take care of him."
At this time, Gao Lanfeng saw two people not far behind Lu Chong, and said in surprise: "Yun Xiu, why are you coming out?"
The girl in green shirt stepped forward and said, "My flying wooden pigeon is broken. It was repaired by this little master. I'll come out and thank him."
Gao Lanfeng nodded and said to Teacher Lu Chuanming: "Uncle Chuanming, this is Miss Su Yunxiu, the person we escorted. I didn't expect that your student's skills are so amazing."
Teacher Lu Chuanming said proudly: "Of course, Xiao Tong is going to take the master level this time. It is rare for him to take the master at such age. However, although you young people have some skills, you should be calm."
Everyone felt the preaching of Teacher Lu Chuanming. Gao Lanfeng raised her mouth and Su Yunxiu smiled while Lu Chong lowered her head and pretended to be contemplative.
However, with this relationship with Mr. Lu Chuanming, everyone had a dinner in the backyard in the evening, and made an appointment for their departure route and specific time, so they went back to their room to rest.
