"I've met Deacon Lu!"
The five people bowed respectfully, and the children around ten years old were also very presentable. This reminded Lu Li of Li Xiangyun who was in trouble. He sighed and waved his hand, "You're welcome."
However, when the girl heard the word Lu Li, her body trembled obviously, which made Lu Li a little strange. After much deliberation, I just thought it was an illusion, or the other party was too nervous.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you, I'm going to drink!"
Seeing this, Wen Hong waved his hand, stood up and left directly.
Lu Li was a little speechless. He thought about it and found Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong was now bigger than Wen Hong. When he came, he glared at him, which startled several teenagers. Lu Li rolled his eyes at Chen Zhong and said, "They just came." , you can find them a dormitory."
"Oh." Chen Zhong glanced at a few people. When he saw the girl, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Sister, do you have any requests?"
"Can I just live here?" The girl glanced at Lu Li and then at Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong was stunned. He just wanted to ask if the other party had any special needs, such as asking to live in the same courtyard as the female disciple. Unexpectedly, the other party asked to live here. He immediately scratched his head and looked at Lu Li, "Boss, this... .”
"Okay." Lu Li nodded. Newcomers might be shy, which Lu Li thought was understandable. He looked at the four teenagers again, "This courtyard can accommodate a total of five people. You can also mention who among you wants to live here, but only Two spots.”
The four teenagers looked at each other, and finally only a big-headed boy stood up, "My name is Su Chen, and I want to live here too."
"Are there any more?" Lu Li looked at the remaining three people.
The three of them shook their heads and seemed to be familiar with each other, so Lu Li asked Chen Zhong to take the three of them out of the yard to find another place to stay.
After understanding, the girl's name is Liu Xinyu, she is fourteen years old this year, and as for her spiritual roots, she has five spiritual roots, otherwise she would not be working as a handyman. In order not to arouse the other party's sadness, Lu Li did not ask any further questions.
As for the boy named Su Chen, he is eleven years old and comes from a small village in Baiye City, Liangzhou. Like Lu Li, he is a child of a farmer's family.
When Chen Zhong came back, Lu Li asked Chen Zhong to announce the mission to the two of them and explain the rules of the Qingyang Sect's handymen before returning to the room.
The newcomers were properly arranged, and Lu Li was ready to practice well again.
This time he planned to practice to the third level in one go and then sign up to take the official disciple assessment.
As Lu Li went into seclusion, Chen Zhong had to do more than just practice every day, preparing meals for Lu Li.
He knew how fierce Lu Li was in his training. If he hadn't delivered the food on time, he might not have come out to eat even once in two or three days.
But Chen Zhong's own cultivation is progressing very slowly. So far, although he has changed some Condensing Pills, he has only opened up sixty-three acupoints, and he still doesn't know when he will reach the second level of Qi training. when.
It is worth mentioning that the big-headed doll named Su Chen also practices very hard. Apart from cleaning, he spends the rest of the time bored in the house.
Liu Xinyu, on the other hand, often walked around the courtyard and looked at Lu Li's door from time to time.
"Brother Chen Zhong, Deacon Lu has been holding it in his room for several months. Aren't you afraid that he will break it?" On this day, after finishing his work, Liu Xinyu sat in the yard and watched Chen Zhong practice boxing and said casually.
After several months of getting along, Chen Zhong has become familiar with the other two people in the yard. Moreover, Liu Xinyu is about the same age as Chen Zhong and has a gentle personality. Chen Zhong treats her like his own sister.
He stopped his moves and squatted down by the water basin in the yard, wiped his face, and said loudly, "He, he is just a training fanatic. A few months is nothing. The longest time he practiced before was two years." He rarely goes out except for occasional work."
"I'm fine now. I don't have to do any work anymore. I don't even have to risk my life while practicing."
He said this with emotion and worry, "I don't know how to take a rest."
"Oh, have you been here a long time?"
"More than three years, almost four years." Chen Zhong sighed, as if remembering something sad, he shook his head, "I won't talk anymore, I will get food for the boss. Although he won't eat, I still have to prepare it. "
Although he delivers food every day, Lu Li rarely eats it.
"I'm coming with you." Liu Xinyu immediately stood up from his chair and followed him.
Chen Zhong did not refuse, and the two of them went to the cafeteria to order some food, and then returned to the courtyard. Liu Xinyu also followed Lu Li into his room this time.
Lu Li's room was similar to other rooms. There was a round table at the entrance. To the right was an ancient covered Eight Immortals bed with an opaque mosquito net in front of the bed.
This was done by Lu Li on purpose, so that no one would see him 'sleeping' inside, otherwise Chen Zhong would probably scream.
The two of them went inside.
There was no surprise. Without eating a bite of yesterday's meal, Chen Zhong put the hot food on the table, put away yesterday's meal and prepared to leave.
Liu Xinyu glanced at the big bed a few more times, frowned and murmured, "Why does it feel like you're sleeping?"
"What?" Chen Zhong looked at Liu Xinyu doubtfully.
"No, it's nothing."
...
So, day after day.
In a blink of an eye.
It's winter again, and it's been more than a year since the last newcomers were introduced.
This year's winter seems to be very cold. The Qingyang Sect, which has never snowed before, actually had a blizzard. Overnight, the entire Qingyang Sect was covered with thick snow coats.
In the handyman valley, Wen Hong also announced that everyone would take a few days off to rest and wait for the snow to melt before working again.
Although the physique of cultivators is much stronger than that of ordinary people, it is not enough for ordinary monks in the Qi training period to ignore this cold.
However, there is one person who is an exception.
Chen Zhong was shirtless at this time and walked in from outside the courtyard carrying a large stove and went straight to Lu Li's room. He gently placed the stove three feet away from Lu Li's bed, then shook his head and gently closed the door.
"Brother Chen Zhong, is Mr. Deacon still practicing?" A smart girl wearing a snow coat poked her head out of Chen Zhong's room and asked.
"Yeah." Chen Zhong nodded and walked over.
There is also a large stove in Chen Zhong's room. In addition to Liu Xinyu, who is dressed in snow-white, there is also a big-headed boy who is playing with the charcoal fire.
The big-headed boy seemed to have grown a lot taller.
In the evening, Chen Zhong was about to help Lu Li prepare dinner, but Liu Xinyu stood up first, "Brother Chen Zhong, take a rest and let me do it."
Chen Zhong nodded and sat back. This was not the first time Liu Xinyu delivered food. At first he was a little worried, but as the meal became more and more frequent, Chen Zhong found that Lu Li seemed to eat more of the meals sent by Liu Xinyu, so he became very happy.
Not long after, Liu Xinyu came to Lu Li's room with several bowls of hot food. While she was cleaning up, she stared at the direction of the bed, and even accidentally spilled a bowl of soup. Then she recovered and left in a hurry. .
"Hiss, my bone seems to have grown a piece!!!"
She had just walked to the door when she suddenly heard a thump. She turned her head and saw that it was Lu Li who had rolled off the bed. She quickly turned back, put the tray on the table and ran over to help Lu Li.
