"Well, let's hide quickly, shall we?"
Lu Li shook his head and smiled slightly: "It's too late, but... there's no need to hide."
"Why?"
"See for yourself." Lu Li turned slightly and looked away.
There were more than a hundred people in the front, all riding BMWs. The leader was a rugged man with a beard, and to the right of the man was an old man in gray clothes with a thin face.
On the left is a middle-aged man in cloud robes, with a look of urgency between his brows. He is Lei Ming.
When Lei Xiaoman saw Lei Ming, her body suddenly trembled, but in the next moment, she retracted behind Lu Li and hid herself tightly.
Just when Lu Li was about to speak, Lei Ming had already driven his horse over and said with joy on his face: "Brother, you are back! Where is my daughter!"
Lu Li turned his horse sideways and said, "See for yourself."
"Dad..." Lei Xiaoman couldn't hide, so she covered her eyes with her hands, leaving only a crack to look at Lei Ming timidly.
"Xiao, Xiaoman!" Lei Ming choked up instantly, "You, you're okay, that's great."
Seeing that Lei Ming didn't mean to blame herself, Lei Xiaoman put down her hand and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, it's my daughter's fault... My daughter should listen to you."
"No, it's okay. I was too harsh on you. As long as you're okay, it's okay!" Lei Ming's eyes were full of love, he drove his horse to Lu Li's side, and said with sincere gratitude:
"Brother, I really want to thank you this time. I, Lei Ming, will never forget this kindness in my life. I also ask my brother to return to Dihu Village with me so that I can treat you well."
"Haha, you're welcome, brother." Lu Li smiled, "I'm also planning to attend the exchange meeting in five days, and also plan to go to Dihu City, so... I won't bother you."
"Don't disturb, don't disturb, let's go."
After Lei Ming finished speaking, he turned his horse back to the bearded man and cupped his hands, "Brother, he is the person I am looking for. You still say that I am unreliable. Look, you are right now, right?"
The strong man chuckled and looked at Lu Li, "You kid, you dare to break into Youlong Village alone, you have the guts! I will definitely have a good drink with you when I get back."
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and shouted to the people in Dihu Village: "Brothers, the mission is completed, we will deal with those bastards in Youlong Village another day, go back home, and retreat!"
"Yo ho——!"
Everyone shouted, turned their horses' heads one after another, and started running wildly.
But this Lei Xiaoman seemed to be glued to him. Lei Ming didn't ask her to sit on his horse. Instead, he let his daughter hug Lu Li with a faint smile on his face. He really didn't know what he was thinking.
The journey was so fast that another day passed in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning of the third day, the group finally returned to Dihu Village.
The layout of Dihu Village is similar to that of Youlong Village.
At Lei Ming's invitation, Lu Li was not polite and followed him to Lei Ming's other courtyard.
Later.
Lei Ming ordered people to prepare a large table full of wine and food. The bearded boss and the thin-faced old man in gray clothes also came. The four of them sat together and talked and laughed.
After Lei Ming introduced him, the bearded man was named Li Chenghu.
The old man in gray clothes is named Chu Fankong, and he is the second in command and military advisor of Dihu Village.
Li Chenghu was a generous man and insisted on dragging Lu Li to drink. Lu Li resisted but took a small sip. He felt bitter and choked and waved his hands and said: "I can't drink, I can't drink."
It made several people burst into laughter.
Li Chenghu laughed and said: "Little brother, you have to practice this. What's the point of living without drinking in this world?"
"Little guy, don't listen to this reckless man. Drinking is just a couple of sips once in a while. People like him will drink themselves to death sooner or later." Chu Fankong did not give Li Chenghu any face.
"You know a thing!" Li Chenghu didn't care. He picked up a bowl of wine and drank it directly. He wiped his mouth carelessly and said, "What's the difference between a non-drinker and that bitch?"
Lu Li shook his head. He didn't think there was anything wrong with drinking, but this was something he didn't like.
At least, he doesn't love it now.
"Brother, if you don't drink, you can eat more vegetables, but don't be polite to me." Lei Ming said with a smile.
Lu Li smiled slightly, "Don't worry, brother, I'm not the kind of rigid person, so you don't need to worry about me."
"Well, that's good." After Lei Ming said that, he suddenly turned around and looked at the maid behind him and asked, "Where's Miss, why don't you come out for such an occasion?"
The maid thought for a moment and said, "Maybe she's still dressing up."
"Put on your makeup?" Lei Ming frowned, "What kind of makeup should I put on during dinner time? Go and ask her to come out."
"yes."
The maid responded and was about to go out, but at this moment, a petite girl wearing an aqua blue embroidered skirt came in from the door. The girl has combed hair, bright eyes, white teeth, a beautiful nose and a small mouth. She looks like a jade from a small family.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up when they saw this.
Li Chenghu was stunned for a moment and then said teasingly: "Niece Xiaoman, you are dressed like this...how come I have never seen it before?"
"Yeah, it's really weird." Chu Fankong also said with a smile.
Lei Ming was also stunned for a moment. It would not be an exaggeration to say that her daughter had a bad temper. She usually wore red. When had she ever dressed like Xiao Jia Biyu?
When everyone said this, Lei Xiaoman's face turned red to her ears. She glanced at a few people complainingly: "What are you talking about..."
"Hahaha, don't tell me, don't tell me...I can drink." Li Chenghu had a strange face and was immersed in drinking.
Lei Xiaoman rolled her eyes, moved lightly, and slowly sat next to Lu Li. She smiled lightly and said softly, "Thank you for saving your life, sir. I haven't asked you your name yet."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they remembered that they didn't seem to know the boy's name, so they started asking.
Lu Li frowned slightly, and then said with a smile, "I don't dare to bear the name. I am Qin Shouren."
"Animal?" Li Chenghu asked, "Or...an orc?"
puff!
Chu Fankong glanced at Li Chenghu faintly, "You fool, how can you make fun of other people's names like this." After saying this, he felt strange in his heart, how could there be such a weird name in this world.
Lu Li didn't think it was anything, it was just a code name. Besides, they used to call Qin Shouren a beast, and they were used to it.
"Ahem, Shou Ren... uh no, Brother Qin, thank you very much this time. Xiao Man proposes a toast to you with tea instead of wine." Lei Xiaoman was almost led astray by Li Chenghu, but Lei Ming glared at her before she could react. .
Lu Li's face twitched slightly, he nodded, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "You don't need to thank me, I'm just asking for your help from Brother Lei."
Afterwards, a few people sat together and started chatting. However, due to the arrival of Lei Xiaoman, the atmosphere at the table became much calmer. Li Chenghu could not say any dirty jokes anymore. He was so suffocated that after drinking a few large bowls, he He took Chu Fankong away.
Then Lei Ming pushed Lei Xiaoman away, then took out a storage bag and handed it to Lu Li: "Brother Qin, this is what I promised you last time. Please take a look."
Seeing that Lei Ming was a pretty good person, Lu Li didn't want to take it, but he also thought that he might need it if he bought the alchemy furnace. He hesitated for a moment and took it, saying, "That's it, thank you, brother. I've been short of money recently." Money, I won’t be polite to you.”
"No, no, it's me who should thank you."
The two chatted for a while. Lu Li felt a little tired, so he excused himself and went to the room arranged by Lei Ming to rest.
