There was no way he would have been on the mountain at that time.
"And this thing, I thought it was a little weird, so I put it away!"
Li Guanggu took out something from his clothes, but it was a crystal-clear object that looked like amber, and inside it was something that looked like a wolf.
When Lu Changsheng touched this thing, suddenly, his vision seemed to be torn apart by something. In the midst of the severe pain, he could only see a pair of unique blood-colored eyes looking at him steadily.
A push came, and Lu Changsheng woke up quickly, only to see Wang Heihou, Niu Dazhuang and others standing beside him at some unknown time.
This thing is weird!
Lu Changsheng quickly wrapped it up with something, and the strange feeling disappeared.
"Why are you here?" He looked at Wang Heihou and Niu Dazhuang.
"Something happened!" Wang Heihou said in a deep voice and glanced at Li Guanggu lying on the bed.
"What's wrong?" Li Gugua asked doubtfully.
"Last night, someone in your family died!"
Li Gugua was stunned for a moment, showing an expression of disbelief.
Although she had no feelings for her father and brother, they were related by blood after all. Even though she was almost killed, she never thought about taking their lives.
"What's going on?" Lu Changsheng frowned.
"I heard that someone saw a mountain wolf that stood tall and entered the Li family's door last night!"
There was something wrong with Wang Heihou's tone.
"Renli's mountain wolf?" Lu Changsheng muttered in his heart, feeling that this matter was getting more and more weird.
They rushed to Li's house and saw that it was full of blood. Two people whose bodies had been hollowed out were lying in a pool of dried blood. Only a bloody claw mark was left on the ground.
This tragic situation happened in the countryside. No one dared to come over to help collect the body. Several people looked at it for a long time and saw no trace of disguise. They could only suppress their nausea and help deal with the funeral.
In the evening, several people stood in front of the grave.
No one cried either.
As the only surviving bloodline of the Li family, Li Gugua silently burned the family's clothes in front of the grave.
Three new graves, three relatives, dead within a few days.
Lu Changsheng looked at Li Guanggu's back, sighed, and said to Zhao Hu: "Uncle Zhao, did you really see the wolf of Ren Li that you mentioned back then with your own eyes?"
Zhao Hu hesitated for a moment and said: "I was still young at that time, and I didn't know if it was true, but in my opinion, it was very likely to be true."
So many years have passed, and my childhood memories have become a little blurry.
Lu Changsheng kept it in mind, could it be: When he returns to Heishan Mansion, he will check it out!
"Are there really immortals in this world?"
He raised his head, and there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes.
Because of what happened, everyone's departure was delayed for a few days.
After the third day, several families finally packed up some necessary things and left the village.
Not long after they left, a piece of news spread about what happened between Zhao Hu and Zhao Deshui five years ago.
"It's okay for us. After all, without Zhao Deshui, we have to find a way to get to Heishan Mansion. On the contrary, Zhao Liang and the others are really miserable!" Wang Heihou said with a smile.
The family conditions of Zhao Liang and the others were actually pretty good, and they could go to Heishan Mansion or not. However, Zhao Deshui took them there due to a sudden thought. Although they came back later, several people still died, and the money lost was even less. Count among them.
That year, some people ran for survival, while others ran for a future.
For the former kind of people, it doesn't matter whether they cheat or not, but for the latter kind, it's very bad.
"Zhao Deshui's family will definitely have a hard time in the future. If they encounter someone with a bad temper, they will be ready to chop him to death!"
Lu Changsheng also smiled.
The journey back was still smooth. With the customs clearance documents in hand, the group still walked calmly even if they were accompanied by many people.
After returning to Heishan Mansion, Lu Changsheng stayed with his family for a few days and then went to the academy of Jixia Academy.
"Lu Jieyuan!"
Du Meng came over with a smile on his face.
Now many readers know the story that he and Lu Jieyuan had to tell.
I don’t know when the news spread. Lu Jieyuan was ostracized in Jixia Academy, but it was Du Meng who always encouraged him.
Some scholars even call it the "friendship between Lu and Du", which is a good talk.
Therefore, even if he failed to achieve success in the examination, he still became a celebrity. Even when some candidates saw him, they would affectionately call him "Du Tongsheng".
However, when the spring breeze was triumphant, Du Meng also accepted Lu Changsheng's feelings in his heart and thought: Now I can't help him with anything, I can only help him solve the problem of being single.
In Du Meng's opinion, his brother is good at everything, but he doesn't pay much attention to women. To put it bluntly, he is just a wooden head.
As his brother, I definitely have to worry more.
"Brother Lu is so talented that women from ordinary families will definitely not look down on him. At least they have to be well-matched and good-looking!" He suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up slightly.
"Brother Lu, I wonder if you have done any research on arithmetic?" Du Meng suddenly asked.
"Understand a little bit!" Lu Changsheng said.
The practicality of arithmetic is not small, and it can actually be considered as a skill in reading. Therefore, Lu Changsheng was bored sometimes and read some.
Compared with the previous life, the calculations in this world are actually the same. As long as you understand the meaning of the characters, other theories are universal. You can solve most problems easily with your own knowledge.
"Why do you ask?"
Mathematics is not within the scope of the imperial examination. It is just a content for a scholar to enrich his knowledge. Therefore, he was curious why Du Meng asked this.
"Personal hobbies... personal hobbies!"
Seeing that Lu Changsheng was a little distracted, Du Meng turned and left.
Lu Changsheng began to search in the academy, and soon he found the book he was looking for.
""Mengxi Miscellany""
"There is a village in Yu State called Dawang Village. There is a farmer named Wang Xiaoer in the village. He has been a farmer for generations. One day..."
Lu Changsheng looked at it seriously.
This is a story-like narrative about a farmer named Wang Xiaoer. His family was poor and he had a sick mother who needed to be taken care of. One day, when he went up the mountain to cut firewood, he saw a centipede and a toad fighting each other. The toad was about to be killed by the centipede, so he knocked the centipede with a stone and saved the injured toad. Unexpectedly, the toad followed him back home and sat on the beam in the house. From then on, Wang Xiaoer's life continued day by day. In the same way, in just three years, he became a wealthy household from all over the country.
If I had seen such content in the past, I would have laughed at it and regarded it as after-dinner entertainment. However, after experiencing the Zhaojiacun incident, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt that the world might not be as simple as he imagined.
"The Yu State seems to be a small country adjacent to the Yuan Dynasty. Its area is only as wide as the Yuan Dynasty. However, because the environment was too harsh, it was ignored by the Yuan Dynasty. Gradually, it became a place where evil people live!"
In addition, there is no specific location mentioned in the book, otherwise, Lu Changsheng would like to go and check it out.
Mengxi Miscellanies includes dozens of similar stories, but few of them are marked with accurate addresses, giving the impression that they are more like the storyteller's unconstrained imagination and unlimited reverie.
Even Lu Changsheng felt it was a bit fake.
Until the last story appeared in front of him——
"Wolf with human face"
"There is a mansion in Dafeng country called Shaoyuan Mansion, and there is a village under the mansion called Zhaojia Village. This year, a farmer came back from working outside and suddenly saw a mountain wolf coming with meat in its mouth and placing it in front of the door. Mrs. Zhao was shocked. She came out of the courtyard with a knife and wanted to fight with the wolf, but the mountain wolf turned around and ran away, leaving only raw meat in front of the door! Mrs. Zhao was pleasantly surprised. It was a severe drought at this time and there was no crop left. Come on, food is hard to find, let alone this piece of meat?"
"Zhao picked up the meat and returned home. After a few days, all the meat was in his stomach. He was feeling sad. Suddenly, he saw the mountain wolf coming with meat in his mouth and placing it in front of the door. In the next few months, the mountain wolf never saw him again. Without realizing it, Zhao had already regarded the mountain wolf as his savior. Suddenly, for half a month, the mountain wolf came. Zhao was worried and went into the forest with a knife, only to see a hungry mountain wolf appearing in front of him. He uttered the words: I have been waiting for you for a long time! After saying this, he rushed over and swallowed Mrs. Zhao. His wolf face slowly turned into the face of Mrs. Zhao, and then he wore Zhao's clothes, step by step Head towards Zhaojiacun!"
