In the fifth year since he came to this world, Lu Yuan still maintains his original love - chopping firewood.
Although chopping firewood can no longer increase his proficiency, Lu Yuan still chops for a while every day, and then piles the chopped firewood together. Several hills have been piled inside and outside the small yard of the woodshed.
Seeing this, the manager stopped requiring Lu Yuan to work every day, which gave him greater freedom.
But the diligent Lu Yuan still schedules full time every day, focusing on proficiency.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu!"
A voice came from the laundry room next door. Lu Yuan looked up and saw a young man also wearing work clothes appearing in the small yard of the woodshed.
The young man is very handsome, probably just a little bit better than him, especially his eyebrows and eyes, which are full of vitality, coupled with the young man's trademark smile, and a bright and sunny face.
"What's the matter, Xiaojiu?"
Seeing the young man's panic, Lu Yuan asked.
Ji Xiaojiu is a new worker in the laundry room next door. He still remembers the first time he saw Ji Xiaojiu. Lu Yuan thought that Tianxiang Pavilion had expanded its business and started to attract female customers. In the end, he did not expect that it was also a worker like him.
Ji Xiaojiu has been here many times these days, and the two of them have become familiar with each other.
However, Lu Yuan didn't understand why Ji Xiaojiu, a young man who didn't look like a poor family, came to work in the laundry room?
Was he abducted like himself?
Or do you have some special hobby?
You know, the laundry room of Tianxiang Pavilion washes a lot of clothes of the girls in the building. This has to make people wonder about the hidden hobbies of the sunny and handsome boy!
Also, I don’t know what the manager is thinking, assigning a man to the laundry room, isn’t this just an opportunity for others to take advantage of?
"Xiaojiu, what's the matter?" Lu Yuan asked politely.
Ji Xiaojiu said shyly: "Brother Lu, the mallet in the laundry room is broken. I want to see if you have a suitable wooden stick to use first!"
"Over there, look for it!"
Lu Yuan pointed to a place and asked Ji Xiaojiu to search for it by himself.
While Ji Xiaojiu was bending down to look for a suitable stick, he said as if he didn't want to be left in the cold: "Brother Lu, I heard from the manager that you have been working here for five years. Is it true?"
"It's true!" Lu Yuan nodded.
“Isn’t it boring to chop wood every day after doing this for so long?”
"It's okay. I'm just making a living, so I don't have the right to despise work!"
"Brother Lu, how did you get in in the first place?"
"..."
Lu Yuan was silent, not wanting to answer this question.
Ji Xiaojiu was making gestures with a wooden stick to see if it could be used as a mallet, but he didn't hear Brother Lu's answer.
He only raised his head at this time and saw Brother Lu's face was dark. He thought for a while, he shouldn't have said the wrong thing just now, right?
He asked cautiously: "Brother Lu, I heard that brothels like Tianxiang Pavilion are involved in some black industries. You have been in Tianxiang Pavilion for so long, have you heard anything?"
"Then what do you want to hear?" Lu Yuan asked.
He looked at Ji Xiaojiu's face with interest. He was shy and green, but very calm, a kind of calmness that did not suit his status.
Ji Xiaojiu approached Lu Yuan and whispered: "Human trafficking!"
It was clear. The image of Ji Xiaojiu in Lu Yuan's mind became clear. This was not a young man working. He clearly came to Tianxiang Pavilion to inquire about information with some purpose.
The young man tried his best to disguise himself, but in the end, the young master from a wealthy family was defeated by that face!
And, too eager to get results.
Lu Yuan didn't believe that the experienced Tianxiang Pavilion steward didn't see that there was something wrong with this face. Was he an accomplice, or did he not want to expose it?
However, Lu Yuan didn't want to participate in any of this. He just wanted to be a peaceful woodcutter.
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know that well!"
After Ji Xiaojiu heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, but it was quickly hidden under his shy smile.
He quickly smiled and explained: "It's okay, Brother Lu! I'm just very curious and like to hear some rumors. I couldn't help but ask just now, thinking you knew."
Lu Yuan smiled back and said it didn't matter.
"Brother Lu, I have chosen!"
Ji Xiaojiu picked a wooden stick that he was satisfied with and said, "Then I'll go back first!"
Lu Yuan nodded.
He looked at Ji Xiaojiu's leaving figure, rarely falling into deep thought.
Is Tianxiangge involved in human trafficking?
He wasn't sure, but judging from his experience, there was probably something wrong.
Is Ji Xiaojiu a simple worker?
It can now be confirmed that it is not.
Will there be sparks between Tianxiangge and Ji Xiaojiu?
There's no way of knowing for now. Whether sparks can spark will depend on which of the two has the better background.
After contemplating, Lu Yuan shook his head, why are you thinking about this?
He is just a part-time worker, and he just brushes up on his proficiency when he has nothing to do. Besides, he just makes a living, so it is not his turn to worry about this matter.
With nothing to do, I took another look at my personal information, and found that some of the content inside had changed.
[Host identity: Red Dust Swordsman! 】
[Binding relationship: Immortal Black Turtle! 】
[Martial force level: first-class master! 】
[Available skills: Basic knife skills, Thousand-edged Flying Knife (145/1000), Black Turtle Walk (215/1000)! 】
[Learnable skills: There is currently no opportunity to trigger unknown skills! 】
He is still the same mortal swordsman, and Xiaohan is still the black turtle. His martial arts level has improved a bit quickly, maybe due to the increase in skills!
Looking at all this, Lu Yuan felt a little relieved. This was his only guarantee in this unfamiliar world.
After that day, Ji Xiaojiu's visits to the woodshed gradually became less frequent, and he once again lived a life without being disturbed.
There were no major problems in Tianxiang Pavilion. Everything was calm and lively.
Even when Lu Yuan was chopping firewood, he could hear the touching coquettishness of the girls coming from the building, as well as the "little lady" calls from the customers one after another.
Whenever this happened, Lu Yuan felt that his lonely heart would be on fire, and his mind would be filled with desire.
In the end, he had no choice but to take a cold bath, then ran to Xiaohan and cursed angrily.
"Xiaohan, you see, these people are not good people. They make some noise every day and affect our proficiency!"
Xiaohan shook his head in confusion. He heard the sound, but he didn't think it would affect his proficiency level?
"Hey, what am I talking about about male love and female love? I forgot that we are not the same species. Human beings can't attract you Xuangui clan by making wonderful sounds!"
The world where only Lu Yuan was injured was achieved, but he endured it and passed it.
He couldn't go upstairs and tell the girls and customers to keep their voices down, saying that it was disturbing him to chop wood!
Who would pay attention to a worker like him?
The customer is the boss and the girls are the products. You can't destroy the business unethically, right?
Lu Yuan believed that he was not so righteous enough to criticize and destroy the black people in the world. If he really did this, he would probably only get a reputation.
However, there are still righteous warriors in this world.
For example: Ji Xiaojiu!
