"That scholar is also a poor man," Xia Huai sighed. "He fell in love with someone he shouldn't have fallen in love with, and he kept deceiving himself. As a result, not only did he lose his fortune, but he also lost his life in the end."
"…………"
Lu Jing found that he didn't seem to be able to handle this topic easily.
Fortunately, Xia Huai didn't continue and asked Fei Shaotou, "Where is that Hongzhu girl now?"
"Not long after the death of the scholar named Zeng, Hongzhu was bought as a concubine by a wealthy businessman." Fei Captou said, "The businessman's surname was Gong, and he was in the spice business. He was not a native of Wujiang. Every year, there were only I stayed here for a month or two, and after buying Hongzhu, I paid for a house to raise her."
"Can you take us there?"
"certainly."
As the city's chief catcher, Fei Captou was very familiar with every household. After speaking, he led the way.
Lu Jing and Xia Huai followed behind him.
After walking for a while, Lu Jing suddenly stopped in front of a small stall. He took out twenty copper coins from his arms and threw them to the stall owner. Then he called out to Fei Captou, who was walking in the front. .
"Captain Fei, let's have a cup of tea before we leave."
Upon hearing this, Capt. Fei stopped and came back with a smile, "Okay, we must drink the tea invited by Master Lu."
After saying that, he said to Xia Huai who was on the side, "Nvxia Xia, come and try it too. This is Wujiang's famous Grandma's tea. It is fried with chestnuts, sesame seeds, olives and walnuts. It is similar to ordinary The tea is different, it’s very fragrant.”
Xia Huai originally just stood aside with his sword in hand. He hesitated for a moment after hearing Fei Captou's words. He couldn't refuse his kindness, so he also walked over.
Fei Captou may not be very good at martial arts, but he has been in the officialdom for so long, and he has long been a veteran. He can feel that although the young man and woman behind him were walking together, the atmosphere between them was a bit awkward.
At this time, what happened in the No. 1 Scholar Building has not been reported back to Wujiang City, and Capt. Fei doesn't know what happened between the two, but this does not prevent him from taking the initiative to act as a peacemaker and help ease the relationship between the two. .
"Is this the first time for Miss Xia to come to our Wujiang City?" Fei Captou asked as he took the grandma's tea from the stall owner.
"No, it's not." Xia Huai lowered his head and blew on the hot tea in his hand.
"Well, when was the last time you came here?"
"More than three years ago."
"More than three years ago?" Fei Captou thought for a while, "Oh, I remembered that more than three years ago, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, Jie, seemed to have obtained a martial arts secret book, which attracted many martial arts masters. During that time , everyone in the yamen was extremely nervous. We have never gathered so many experts in Wujiang City. I was really afraid that something would happen.
"Fortunately, everyone was safe in the end, oh...except for the gang leader, he seemed to have been taken away."
Xia Huai's wrist shook slightly, and the tea in the bowl almost spilled.
She didn't actually lose her mind completely that night, and she could vaguely remember the scene at that time.
Including senior brother Wei Zixian, everyone in the restaurant went crazy, dancing and shouting, as if everyone had obtained the secret book of magic skills.
Xia Huai looked at the booklet in his hand again. It seemed to record a magical skill that could increase one's cultivation level without any practice.
So she couldn't help but feel excited, and couldn't wait to read it and practice according to it.
However, at this moment her hand was grabbed by Lu Jing.
The young man's expression looked very anxious, his lips opened and closed, but Xia Huai couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.
The next moment, she was held in the arms of the man and rushed out.
At that time, Xia Huai only had eyes for the secret book that he could not open, and had no reaction to being hugged. But now when I think about it, I just feel hot all over my body.
She couldn't remember what happened after that, only bits and pieces.
Until he woke up completely and found that he was still in the restaurant.
As for what happened that night, there have been different opinions in the world. Some people said that Xie Liancheng developed a very powerful drug that confused all the heroes who attended the meeting that night.
But later he was defeated by a passing martial arts senior and saved the big guy. Some people said that Xie Liancheng didn't control the dosage well and got himself fascinated too... Anyway, you can guess what.
At that time, Lu Jing was not very famous, he was just a small character, so the big guys didn't associate this matter with him.
But Xia Huai vaguely remembered that in the entire restaurant at that time, Lu Jing was the only one who was still awake, so if anyone was to say who was most likely to save everyone that night, it had to be Lu Jing.
Moreover, after entering the academy, Xia Huai knew about the existence of strange objects and went out of his way to investigate what happened three years ago.
It was found that Si Tianjian sent someone to investigate after the fact. There was no supervisor present at the time, and after evaluation, he concluded that the strange object had disappeared.
In other words, Lu Jing probably solved the obsession with the strange object that night and saved everyone in the restaurant.
And counting the time she was injured in the ruined temple, Lu Jing had saved her twice and hugged her twice.
It’s just that it doesn’t seem to make much sense to think about it now.
It's not that Xia Huai can't feel Lu Jing's feelings for her, especially since the latter seems to be still trying to repair the relationship between the two.
But Xia Huai could also feel Lu Jing's feelings for Yan Yun and Wen Xiaochuan. There were already clues about this matter when they went to the library together to look for the strange object.
Xia Huai also felt the crisis at that time.
She had thought about fighting up to protect her own happiness. Although she, Xia Huai, was not as famous as the seventh daughter of the Wen family and the senior sister of Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, her self-confidence was no worse than anyone else.
Many people underestimated her determination and tenacity just because she had a baby face.
So after hearing about what happened in the No. 1 Scholar Building, she did not feel despair. Instead, she inspired the fighting spirit in her heart. However, she changed her focus at the last moment.
It's not because he thinks he can't win against Yan Yun or Wen Xiaochuan.
I just don't want to see Lu Jing in this dilemma again.
Even if...what if we win?
It just makes it more difficult for that person.
Xia Huai could wrong himself, but he was unwilling to force that person to make a choice he didn't want to make.
The girl silently drank the bowl of grandma's tea in her hand. When she saw Lu Jing leaning towards her, he seemed to have something to say, but he spoke first, "Captain Fei, it's getting late. Let's go see the red man early." Madam Zhu..."
Captain Fei wiped his mouth when he heard this, "Yes, it will be dark if it gets too late. Mr. Gong only has women at home, so it would be inappropriate to visit him again."
