At dusk, Huo Xingsun and Fake Zhaozong returned from the county town together, and they brought back large and small bags of things, which were loaded into three oxcarts.
After seeing Lu Jing, Fake Zhaozong greeted him warmly, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Uh... not yet."
"Then let's eat together tonight." Fake Zhaozong said with a smile, "I just bought a new pot and will make Taixue steamed buns tonight."
After that, he pulled a bullock cart and hurried towards the kitchen.
Lu Jing asked Ge Ping on the side, "Fake...has Mr. Song always been like this?"
Ge Ping nodded, "Mr. Song is a very nice person. He is always friendly and good at cooking. No one in Zhuangzi dislikes him."
While the two were talking, Huo Xingsun on the other side also came over and said to Lu Jing, "You came just in time. There is something I want to discuss with you..."
"You want to open a blacksmith shop here?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"That's not the case," Huo Xingsun shook his head, "Of course I plan to discuss this with you, but let's talk about the other thing first."
"what's up?"
Huo Xingsun seemed a little hesitant, hesitated to speak, and then looked at Ge Ping again.
The latter understood, found an excuse and walked away.
Only then did Huo Xingsun say, "Mr. Ji's side has raised troops."
"I received the news." Lu Jing said, "What, do you want to go back and help him?"
"No," Huo Xingsun shook his head, "I live quite well here now, and I don't want to fight anymore."
"Mr. Song wants to go back, please tell me?"
"No, Lao Song may still have his dream of being an emperor in his heart, but since he has been missing for so long, Mr. Ji must have found someone new to take over. Even if he wants to go back and continue to be a puppet, there is no place for him. , we can’t both take turns.”
"Then you are..."
"The war has begun, and soon the world will become even more chaotic. I want to bring my sister back." Huo Xingsun said.
"You have a younger sister?" Lu Jingqi asked.
But then he saw Huo Xingsun, a big man, couldn't help but squirm after hearing this.
"Actually, she is not my biological sister. All my family members died a long time ago. I worked as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop and was always bullied because of my weak strength and short stature.
"Later, when I met Mr. Ji, I cruelly transformed myself into a strange object. Finally, no one bullied me anymore. But I lost one soul and my temper became very bad. I couldn't help but want to burn something.
"Sometimes I even get so irritable that I want to set the whole world on fire. Before I meet Granny Sugar, that is, when I read her letter, I can calm down."
"Then you recognized her as your sister?"
Lu Jing rolled his eyes, not wanting to point out Huo Xingsun's little thoughts.
Huo Xingsun was also anxious, "I...I really regard her as my sister. Besides, I haven't even met her yet, so I can't have other thoughts."
"You haven't met her, so how do you know each other?" Lu Jing was shocked.
"I just... met through writing letters." Huo Xingsun blushed and hesitated.
"pen pal?!"
Lu Jing looked Huo Xingsun up and down several times, but he couldn't tell that this short-skinned guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was quite artistic and had become a drift bottle enthusiast so early.
Then Lu Jing thought of something again and reminded him, "Hey, you recognized my sister in a hurry even though you haven't seen anyone before. Be careful of being deceived. There might be a big man who picks your feet."
"No, my sister's handwriting is very beautiful, and she is from a scholarly family."
"…………"
It's okay that Huo Xingsun didn't defend himself. Lu Jing felt that he was more like Mr. Wang in the anti-fraud case that was played at the gate of the community.
But Huo Xingsun was obviously over the top. Lu Jing knew that it was useless to persuade him now, so he said, "Okay, if you want to pick him up, just pick him up."
But after hearing these words, Huo Xingsun fell silent again, and his whole body wilted, just like an eggplant beaten by frost, he just stood there and sighed.
"Is it your sister who thinks this is not a city and doesn't want to come?"
"That's not true. I discussed this matter with her in my letter before. The county where she lives is not very stable now. Thefts and murders occur frequently. She really wants to change places. It just so happens that you are not far from her. , she was very moved after hearing me talk about life here."
"Then why are you hesitating?" Lu Jing patted Huo Xingsun on the shoulder. "The other side has already opened up. Why don't you sound the clarion call for attack?! Or is it because she doesn't have enough travel expenses and wants you to sponsor her first?"
"She should still have the travel expenses." Huo Xingsun was startled, and then said with a wry smile, "Although I look forward to her coming every day, deep down in my heart I am very afraid of her coming, mainly because of my own Honorable appearance..."
"What's wrong with your appearance?" Lu Jing originally wanted to give Huo Xingsun some encouragement, but after looking at his face for a long time, he couldn't think of any positive adjectives.
In the end, he could only shout, "A manly man...be more confident. If she only judges people by their appearance, then it's okay not to let such a woman go."
Huo Xingsun waved his hand, "It's not her fault. In my previous letter, I wrote that I was seven feet tall, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes..."
"Ah this..."
Lu Jing didn't know what to say.
It seems that online dating is not reliable in any era.
Fire Sun said sarcastically, "I didn't mean to lie to her. I actually drank too much that day and thought I wouldn't see her anyway, so I couldn't help but brag a little bit. And once lying starts, We can only spread more and more from now on.”
"Then you'd better write a letter and explain this matter to her clearly."
Lu Jing suggested, after all, it’s not easy to travel around these days. It takes a lot of time and money just to travel. Moreover, the war is going on right now. People may be gone after all this time.
Huo Xingsun was a little hesitant when he heard the words, "I'm actually not worried that she will fall out with me after seeing my true appearance. I'm worried that she will see you and leave sadly after seeing me... continue to live in the previous county, where the size is Chu Bing's family wants territory, and she will be surrounded by people at any time, or if she goes to seek refuge with relatives in other places, she will be easily deceived."
"Then we can't engage in illegal detention." Lu Jing advised from the side.
Seeing this, Huo Xingsun finally revealed his true purpose.
"Master Lu, can you go with me to where she lives?"
"Um?"
"Because your appearance matches the description in my letter, I want you to pretend to be me and meet her first, to convince her to settle here. When she settles here and finds out how good it is, I will slowly explain the truth to her."
