Lu Jing hurried to the courtyard, but he didn't see his master. He only bumped into a woman in a skirt sweeping the floor with her head lowered.
Lu Jing recognized that she was Zhang Sanfeng's daughter-in-law, He. Although He was from a small family, she was not very beautiful, but she was quiet and virtuous, diligent and thrifty in running the household, and very filial to her elders.
Zhang Sanfeng didn't like his son very much, but he was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law. He often said that being able to marry such a daughter-in-law was a blessing that his son had cultivated over many lifetimes.
Although he was anxious, Lu Jing still greeted He politely, but then he got bad news from He.
He told Lu Jing that Zhang Sanfeng had received a letter this morning. It seemed that one of his old friends had something urgent. After reading the letter, Zhang Sanfeng hurriedly hired a car and left the city. He only told Lu Jing to let him know if he came. Continue to stand and digest what you have learned before.
But Lu Jing doesn't have the mind to stand up right now. He can't calm down and practice until he understands the problem in his body. Although thanks to Qin Xiaotou's seven consecutive pecks, Lu Jing's Dantian is swollen. The pain is hardly noticeable anymore, but I can't just ignore it.
What is the thing in his Dantian, and why can it increase his strength and block Qin Xiaotou's crane hand? There is also the warmth that wandered in the meridians before. Although it feels quite comfortable, does it have any side effects?
When Zhang Sanfeng taught him to identify acupuncture points, he made it very clear that many acupuncture points on the human body are very fragile and cannot withstand random manipulations.
Lu Jing now has a lot of questions but can't find anyone who can answer them. He can only ask He again, "Did Master say when he will come back?"
"This..." There was a look of embarrassment on Mrs. He's face. She obviously didn't know how long her father-in-law would be gone for, but she just said, "My father-in-law didn't say when he would return, but in the past he would go out quickly. You can always come back in three or two days, or in January or February."
Three or two days is fine, but it would be too long in January or February. Lu Jing doesn’t know if he can wait until that time, but he has no choice now. There are no phones and no Internet these days, so basically everyone has nothing to do. When you leave home, you almost lose contact.
For Lu Jing, perhaps the only consolation is that according to Mr. He, Mr. Zhang went out on a donkey and did not take a boat. Maybe the place he went to was not too far away. However, the scenery on the road was beautiful at this time, and Lu Jing did not know that Master Zhang Will you be so nostalgic for the beautiful scenery that you still won’t miss Shu even after the business is done?
But no matter when Zhang Sanfeng comes back, Lu Jing has no right to complain. Who made him feel angry for three months and he still hasn't come out? The only thing to blame is that his illness came at the wrong time. Now it seems that he can only find another way.
Lu Jing said goodbye to He with a disappointed look on his face, and was about to go out. Unexpectedly, he bumped into another group of people. Lu Jing's eyes lit up, and he was still looking forward to whether Zhang Sanfeng had left and returned and had forgotten something. I came back to get the important things.
As a result, his eyes scanned the faces of the eight people who entered, but he only recognized one of them as Zhang Sanfeng's son Zhang Jinming. He didn't recognize the remaining seven, and they looked like they were coming with bad intentions. Sandwiching the somewhat pale Zhang Jinming in the middle seemed to be a bit of a threat.
When He saw this, he exclaimed, "Officer!" He threw away the broom in his hand and was about to step forward, but had to stop when he saw the seven fierce-looking strange men on the way.
Then the leader clasped his fists and said, "Is this the residence of Mr. Zhang Sanfengzhang, the Sky-turning Harrier?"
The speaker was about thirty years old, tall and tall, wearing a sleeveless jacket with his chest open, revealing a muscular body that was not inferior to Niu Jiu and a mess of chest hair. He had nine sleeves on his left and right arms. With just an iron ring, you can tell at a glance that he is a martial artist.
His tone was quite polite, but it was clear that he was not here to drink tea as a guest. Lu Jing glanced at Zhang Jinming, who was trapped in the crowd like a chicken, but the latter just lowered his head. His mouth was closed and he didn't say a word. He still smelled strongly of alcohol. It looked like he had just woken up from a hangover.
When Lu Jing withdrew his gaze, he found that all the people in the group were staring at him at some point.
Well, this is quite normal. After all, there are only two people in the yard, and He is just a prostitute. If this group of people doesn't keep an eye on him, they have no one to keep an eye on.
"Yes, this is Mr. Zhang's residence, but he is not here." Lu Jing had to answer.
There is no way, since they can find it, how can they not know where this place is, just asking out of politeness, there is no point in lying about this kind of thing, not to mention Zhang Jinming is also in the other party's hands.
"Really? Then when will Mr. Zhang come back?" The strong man with the iron ring on his arm frowned when he heard this and continued.
"Good question, I want to know too." Lu Jing spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless.
"…………"
After Lu Jing finished speaking, the courtyard fell into an eerie silence. Everyone stood there, looking at me and me, with big eyes staring at small eyes. The awkward atmosphere was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the reason why this situation occurred was mainly because some people were dishonest.
Under normal circumstances, if you see such a menacing group of martial arts people breaking into your home, you will first ask them what they are doing, especially if this group of people has hostages in their hands.
Judging from He's appearance, it was in line with everyone's normal expectations. Her eyes never left her official, her expression was shocked and scared, but as a woman, it was not convenient for her to speak at the moment.
But the only person who could speak conveniently stopped talking.
It's not that Lu Jing has any objections to Zhang Jinming. After all, no matter how useless Zhang Jinming is, he is still Zhang Sanfeng's only son. Lu Jing has to call him brother when he sees him. Of course, he doesn't want to see anything happen to him, but he doesn't want to So what, this matter is beyond his ability.
He was an ordinary person who didn't even have the courage to stand up, so he obviously couldn't be the opponent of the group of practitioners in front of him. The leader's arms alone were thicker than Lu Jing's thighs. As for spending money to eliminate disasters, although Lu Jing had just received the money, a mere hundred copper coins obviously could not satisfy the appetite of the group in front of him. Since there was nothing to talk about, Lu Jing did not ask the other party's purpose.
In addition, he also fully learned the lessons he learned when he met Qin Xiaotou before, and tried to minimize speech and dialogue. Who knows what he said incorrectly and what outrageous plot unfolded, so Lu Jing is very cooperative now. He answers honestly when asked by the other party and doesn't say anything else that shouldn't be said.
