Chapter 209 Two Thatched Huts
Chapter 209 Two Thatched Huts
Yunluo City is located in the southeast of Nanhuzhou. It is an ordinary mortal city with an area of about 25 square kilometers and a permanent population of only more than 500,000.
It is surrounded by tall city walls and has four gates in the east, west, south and north.
At this moment, the sun is shining brightly, and there is an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city gate.
A young man who looked like a rich young man came to the west gate of Yunluo City with a smile on his face and chewing ice sugarcane in his mouth. He followed the crowd into Yunluo City.
Even though Lu Chen restrained his aura and tried to look like an ordinary person,
However, as a cultivator, Lu Chen's unique temperament still makes people feel that he has an extraordinary origin.
Wherever he went, common people kept away from him, for fear of angering him and getting themselves into trouble.
Lu Chen was speechless about this, and sighed in his heart at the simple folk customs of the people in Yunluo City.
Looking at the familiar environment around me, past memories flashed through my mind quickly like a movie.
I haven't been back for three years, and the streets and alleys haven't changed much.
When passing by Zuihualou, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of his cousin Chen Xiang. If he hadn't pushed his predecessor down the stairs and killed him, his soul would have been in a different scene when it traveled to Tianyuan Continent.
When passing by Zhuque Street, Lu Chen deliberately looked for the old Taoist priest who was setting up a stall.
If I can find him, I will definitely thank him very much.
I bought the bracelet accidentally at first, but I didn't expect that it would save my life at the critical moment, and I also got the incredible treasure of the Golden Pearl World.
This changed his fate, otherwise he would have died without a burial place because of Liao Wei.
However, Lu Chen searched almost all of Zhuque Street but still couldn't find the old Taoist priest.
At this time, a young man with a hurried look came quickly and almost bumped into Lu Chen.
Lu Chen secretly practiced the Nine Steps of Xuantian and nimbly avoided the man.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was blind and almost bumped into you, sir. Please don't hold it against me."
The young man in tattered servant's clothes quickly bowed and apologized, looking very frightened.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, the young man thought that Lu Chen didn't care about him. After bending down to apologize again, he prepared to leave.
But seeing that the other party blocked his way, the young man's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he quickly bowed and apologized again.
"Hehehe... Laibao! Look who I am?" Lu Chen said with a playful smile.
When Laibao came up just now, he bent down and bowed, with his head lowered so low that Lu Chen could not see his face clearly.
When he was about to get up and leave, Lu Chen recognized that this was his former follower Lai Bao.
He was sixteen years old when I left. Now, more than three years have passed, and Laibao has grown into a strong young man.
After hearing this, Lai Bao dared to raise his head and look at the nobleman in front of him.
"You...you are...young master?" Lai Bao asked tentatively.
It's not his fault that he didn't recognize Lu Chen. In fact, the Lu Chen in the past was full of the temperament of a second-generation rich kid and a dandy boy.
As a result of his cultivation, Lu Chen's temperament has changed a lot.
In addition, they hadn't seen each other for three years, so it was normal that Lai Bao couldn't recognize Lu Chen for a while.
"Hehehe...what? It's been such a short time since we last met, and you don't recognize me?" Lu Chen looked at Lai Bao and felt very close to him.
After a careful look, Lai Bao finally recognized that the young man in front of him was the young master who left home three years ago to seek immortality.
"Young Master! Hahaha... It's really you. You are finally back. If the Master and the Madam knew that the Young Master is back, they will definitely be very happy." Lai Bao said excitedly in ecstasy.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go back quickly!" Lu Chen took the lead and walked towards the Lu Mansion.
"Young Master! You are wrong, wrong, you are going the wrong way, you should go this way." Lai Bao stopped Lu Chen with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Oh? I remember walking this way. Did dad move?" Lu Chen asked Lai Bao puzzledly.
"Uh... I guess so! Just follow me, young master." Lai Bao said with an awkward smile.
He remembered that the master once said that the young master would not come back for five years. Now that the young master came back halfway, he had a preconceived notion that Lu Chen was still the same playboy as before.
He had not learned any magical skills, so there were some things he did not say explicitly.
Although Lai Bao concealed it very well, Lu Chen still saw some clues. He had a bad feeling and decided to follow him to see what was going on.
After walking for about half an hour under Laibao's guidance, they arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.
The first thing you see is a one-meter-high earthen wall, with a dilapidated gate open. After entering the gate, two thatched houses come into view.
There is a well next to a small courtyard. At this moment, a woman dressed as a woman is standing with her back to the gate, pulling a hemp rope up from the well with all her strength, as if she is drawing water.
"Madam! Why are you fetching water yourself again? You can let me do these rough tasks." Lai Bao saw Chen struggling to pull the hemp rope.
He ran over to help so quickly that he forgot about Lu Chen's existence.
"Hehehe... kid, at this point, I can't let you do everything,"
As Chen said this, she refused Lai Bao's help and carried the wooden barrel full of water up by herself.
Looking at that familiar figure, if it’s not my mother, Chen, who else could it be?
"Cough cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough..."
At this time, a series of coughs were heard in the room. The voice was very familiar. If it wasn’t Dad Lu Tianhao, who else could it be?
Lu Chen looked at all this in surprise, with murderous intent in his eyes.
My father is one of the richest businessmen in Yunluo City. How did he end up in this state? It seems something unexpected must have happened in the past three years.
"Mom!" Lu Chen shouted with mixed emotions.
Chen turned around when she heard the voice. The mother and son were connected by heart. She recognized Lu Chen, who had been away from home for three years, at a glance. Tears filled her eyes instantly, and she felt it was unreal.
"Clang!" With a sound, the wooden barrel that had just been lifted up fell back into the well, making a clanging sound.
"I'm so damn stupid. I forgot to tell the Madam that the young master is back." Lai Bao then realized that he had forgotten Lu Chen in the yard.
Chen no longer listened to what Lai Bao said.
"Chen'er! Hahaha... It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back," Chen walked hurriedly towards Lu Chen, looking at her son happily, her eyes full of longing.
Looking at the traces of weather-beaten skin on his mother's face, Lu Chen felt mixed emotions.
"Mom! What's going on? Why has the house become like this?" Lu Chen asked at the right time.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." At this time, Lu Tianhao's coughing was heard in the room again.
"Madam, Young Master, you two chat first. I'll go and boil some medicine for the master." Lai Bao heard Lu Tianhao's cough and thought that today's medicine had not been boiled for the master yet, so he hurried to get busy.
"No need, Laibao, let me take a look at the situation and I will handle it myself." Lu Chen stopped him.
With his ninth-grade spiritual medicine master and his fusion stage cultivation, it was no problem for him to treat a mortal.
Then several people walked into the thatched house...
