The record player finally made some sound, and Li Banfeng let out a long sigh: "My wife, I thought you were seriously injured and couldn't speak."

"Seriously injured? What are you talking about, sir? A good woman can handle both housework and cooking, preparing a small dish, but you're still talking about being injured."

As he was speaking, the sound of the record player changed its pitch a little, like going over a hill, the tone became high and low, and Li Banfeng became nervous again.

"My husband, today's food is special. I am really full this time. You can give this corpse to Honglian. She can make some good things for you. Even if my husband can't eat it, she can sell it for a good price.

My husband knows my nature. I want to sleep a little longer now that I am full. If you have something to do, just go and do it. Don't bother with me."

The tune of the record player kept changing. Li Banfeng looked at the scattered parts on the ground and frowned again.

snort~

"My dear, don't worry about those trivial things. They are useless anyway. They won't make much difference if you have more or less. When I wake up, I'll pick up some useful ones and put them back."

Li Banfeng picked up a gear and found that the teeth were broken and the axle was bent.

Can this be put back on?

"My husband, please dispose of the insect's corpse immediately. It makes me sick to see it."

Li Banfeng moved the copper lotus.

The copper lotus sensed the body of Mrs. Moth and quickly opened its petals to take her inside.

snort~

The record player reminded her again, "My lord, I am really tired and sleepy. I want to have a good sleep. Please move Honglian to the outer room and don't let her disturb me."

Afraid she would disturb you?

Does this mean that you don’t have the strength to defend against the copper lotus?

Li Banfeng moved the copper lotus away and went back to the main room to check the record player, but the sound was gone.

He gathered the scattered parts together, was silent for a moment, and left the residence.

Tong Lianhua snorted coldly in the outer room: "Evil woman, you have also suffered this day. You dare not say anything even though your body is ruined. After all, you don't trust that madman. I want to see how long you can hold on."

The record player changed the tune and sang back, "Bitch, believe it or not, I'm going to kill you now."

"Come if you can!"

"Honglian, don't be too arrogant. Once you enter this room, the one in the sky won't be able to sense you. Without that one to look after you, do you think I can't kill you?"

…

Li Banfeng followed the footprints and found Ma Wu, and took him back to Lanyang Village.

After surviving the disaster, Ma Wu was still scared. Along the way, he kept asking Li Banfeng how to get rid of Mrs. Moth, but Li Banfeng remained silent.

Back in the cabin, Li Banfeng asked something: "Brother Ma, do you know where there is a record player in Lanyang Village?"

He had to find a way to replace some parts for his wife.

"Record player?" Ma Wu thought for a moment. "This thing is hard to find. I remember the Song family should have a record player."

"Is it a steam record player?"

"Steam record player? Made in Amikan?" Ma Wu shook his head. "This thing is even rarer. I know of one. I've seen it a few times on the Lu family's special train. It's quite troublesome. You have to add water and oil."

Ma Wu has only seen one?

Li Banfeng remembered.

Shopkeeper Feng once said that this was a handmade record player from Amikan, and there were only two in the entire state of Pro.

One is in Li Banfeng's hands and the other is on the Lu family special train.

Go to the Lu family’s special train and steal another record player?

Li Banfeng can’t even get on the train, and he wants to get on the Lu family’s special train?

This is obviously not feasible.

Ma Wu said, "Brother Li, if you like record players, don't buy such fancy ones. You can buy a hand-cranked one or a wind-up one. Both are good and affordable."

"Where can I buy it?"

Ma Wu thought for a moment and said, "The Miaosheng Record Player Shop in Green Water City has a wide variety of products, but given your current condition, it's best not to go into the city."

Li Banfeng unfolded the map he bought from Shopkeeper Feng: "First, tell me where the Miaosheng Record Player Store is."

Ma Wu looked at the map and shook his head slightly, saying, "This map is not detailed enough, but it's hard to say."

The map that Manager Feng gave to Li Banfeng was a map of the entire Green Water Bay.

However, the actual situation of Green Water Bay is much more complicated than on the map.

The central area of Green Water Bay is called Green Water City.

There are several small towns surrounding Green Water City.

On the outskirts of the town are some decent villages where villagers make a living by farming and provide crops to Green Water City.

On the outskirts of the proper villages are the informal villages, and Lanyang Village is one of them.

These informal villages are hardly cultivated, but they can provide special resources for Green Water City.

"It seems that the distance is quite far."

Ma Wu gestured on the map and said, "It's about 120 miles. Brother Li, if you insist on going into the city, let's choose a suitable day. I'll ask someone to go and check out the situation first..."

"Don't choose a day, today is it."

"We're going into the city today?" Ma Wu was stunned. "Just to buy a record player?"

"Yes, just to buy a record player," Li Banfeng nodded, "I need to listen to music. If I don't listen for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

"Brother Li has this hobby?" Ma Wu wanted to laugh, but Li Banfeng was not joking.

Seeing this, Ma Wu quickly packed up his things and said, "I'll bring some food, and we'll go together."

"You don't have to go, just tell me the place." Li Banfeng didn't plan to take Ma Wu with him because he walked too slowly.

Ma Wu didn't know what to say: "Brother Li, what on earth are you going to do in Green Water City?"

"I've already told you that I want to buy a record player and I can't wait any longer."

…

In the Lu family mansion, Lu Dongliang called a fifth-level scholar to test Lu Chunying's knowledge.

In Purozhou, civil and martial arts practitioners are generally considered orthodox, and the four major families are no exception.

It’s just that the Lu family is not as conservative as the Ma family and is not opposed to other Taoist sects. But as a lady from a wealthy family, Wen Xiu is obviously a more reasonable choice.

The fifth-level literary cultivation asked more than a dozen questions, and Lu Chunying answered them fluently. This was due to Xiao Yeci's usual teaching. Although she was only at the first level, the foundation left by Lu Chunying was very solid.

Lu Dongliang nodded and praised Lu Chunying.

"Not bad. Quite good."

Hearing these two compliments seemed a bit forced, Lu Chunying carefully guessed Lu Dongliang's thoughts.

In fact, she was not speculating at this moment. She had been speculating since she entered the Lu family's gate.

Lu Dongliang is a high-ranking member of the brigade, and his specific level of cultivation is unknown.

But none of his children chose to travel and practice Buddhism.

Is it that Lu Dongliang doesn’t want to?

Of course not.

The characteristic of traveling practice is that one has no fixed place to live. Lu Dongliang has been traveling around for many years to run his family business. For him, practice has never been a burden.

But his children don't have to live so hard.

Xiao Yeci once told Lu Chunying a story about a rich girl who eloped three times with her beloved lover.

The three elopements all failed because the rich girl could not endure the hardships of the journey.

When you are traveling, it is not easy to sleep in the open air.

Xiao Yeci once warned Lu Chunying that if a rich young man said that he was fed up with being restricted, wanted freedom, and wanted to travel far away, don't take it seriously. He just wanted to go out and have some fun, he didn't really want to go out with you and suffer.

Travel repair and tourism are two completely different things.

Lu Chunying looked at Lu Dongliang's expression and asked carefully, "Dad, I want to see my mom."

She hadn't seen Xiao Yeci for a long time.

"Let's talk about it later." Lu Dongliang frowned and said casually.

Lu Chunying asked in a low voice: "Dad, do you think she is not my mother at all?"

Lu Dongliang frowned and asked, "Do you think she is your mother?"

According to Lu Dongliang's speculation, Lu Chunying would say that she had recognized this mother, would describe in detail their past of relying on each other, and would cry and beg Lu Dongliang to take in Xiao Yeci.

He hated these worthless old relationships the most.

But Lu Chunying simply replied: "I don't think she is."

Lu Dongliang narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did you figure that out?"

"She's almost my sister's age, so how could she be my mother? This is obvious."

Lu Dongliang smiled and said, "Then why do you still want to see her?"

"I just want to make it clear to her that I'm home, I've reunited with my family, and the past is the past.

She is not my mother, nor is she a member of my family. As for her origins, it is not important. Some thoughts must be given up.

But I can’t let her go out and say something that would make people accuse me of being heartless. I should just give her some money and send her away.”

Lu Dongliang was very satisfied with this answer.

This is basically the same as Lu Dongliang's idea. The only difference is that Lu Dongliang didn't want to send Xiao Yeci away. He wanted Xiao Yeci to disappear completely.

But these two results are not contradictory.

If someone else were sitting here, they might think Lu Chunying was too cruel.

But Lu Dongliang didn't think so. He felt that this was how his daughter should be.

He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, go meet her in a few days.

Now let me talk about your initiation. I plan to let the Wen Xiu mentioned earlier be your master. What do you think?"

Lu Chunying blinked her eyes and said, "Dad, do you want to hear the truth from me?"

"Do you even need to ask this?" Lu Dongliang glared, "Can you still lie to me?"

"Dad, to be honest, I don't want to be a Wen Xiu."

"Why?" Lu Dongliang was stunned.

"Xiao Yeci is just a literary cultivator. I have followed her for so many years, but I always feel that she is a person with no future."

Lu Dongliang smiled and said, "Then what kind of people do you think have a promising future?"

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Only when you have traveled all over the country can you be considered truly knowledgeable. Dad, I want to learn travel cultivation from you."

"You want to practice travel?" Lu Dongliang was surprised and happy, but worried that this girl couldn't endure the hardship. "Think about it carefully. Travel is hard and you can't rest for a day."

"Dad, I'm only this young, and I always want to hide away all day long. But how long do I have to hide away?"

The more Lu Dongliang listened, the happier he became: "Yingying, now that you've made up your mind, when do you plan to join us?"

Lu Chunying thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it today."

Lu Dongliang was surprised and asked: "Today? Why are you so anxious?"

"If I wasn't worried that my father wouldn't agree, I would have wanted to join the sect a few days ago. I couldn't wait any longer."

Lu Dongliang smiled.

Why does this child resemble him in character?

Even this impatience is very similar to him.

This cannot be called impatience. You should be quick when necessary and slow when necessary. This is called knowing your limits.

"Yingying, let's make a deal. I'll call the pharmacist to make some preparations for you. It'll be a little painful to enter, so let him prepare the anesthetic for you first."

Lu Chunying shook her head and said, "No need for anesthesia, it will only hurt for a moment, Dad, did you use anesthesia when you first got started?"

Lu Dongliang shook his head and said, "Your grandfather didn't let me learn the travel cultivation back then. I got in through a peddler. There was no anesthetic there. I just slapped the entrance powder on my belly and gritted my teeth to get through it."

"Dad doesn't need it, and neither do I!"

Lu Dongliang shook his head and said, "No, that won't work. I have to endure that suffering because I have no other choice. How can I let you suffer this?"

…

That evening, Lu Chunying successfully entered the journey of cultivation, and Lu Dongliang arranged for Xiao Yeci to meet Lu Chunying.

Seeing Lu Chunying, Xiao Yeci was very excited and asked with concern: "Nannan has suffered a lot. It was very painful when you entered. Does it still hurt now? Have you eaten anything? ..."

Lu Chunying looked at Xiao Yeci with a cold expression and said impatiently: "I called you here to tell you that our fate has come. We will live our own lives from now on. Thank you for taking care of me all these years. Please leave now."

Xiao Yeci looked at Lu Chunying in surprise and was speechless for a long time.

Lu Chunying took out a box with a hundred dollars in it and handed it to Xiao Yeci: "This is a gift from me. My dad will give you some more money when the time comes. From now on, we won't meet again."

Xiao Yeci's eyes turned red and he called out, "Nannan..."

"Please take the money quickly. You need some money for the trip." Lu Chunying turned away, not wanting to see her again.

Xiao Yeci took the box and left Lu Chunying's bedroom.

She didn't know how she got back.

When she returned to her room, she stared at the box of dollars for a long time.

She really wanted to throw away the box of dollars and sneak away from the house.

You have to look at her face when eating, when going out, and even when going to the toilet, you have to look at her face.

He could tolerate all these, but Xiao Yeci couldn't tolerate Lu Chunying's attitude.

She felt that she had completely lost her dignity.

I am a first-level cultural cultivator, and I can find a job to make a living in the future, and live a more decent life than now.

But she finally opened the box.

Because she really didn't even have money for the trip.

There was a hundred dollars in the box, which was not a small sum, enough for Xiao Yeci to spend for a while.

There seems to be something under the ocean.

It's a piece of paper.

Xiao Yeci unfolded the paper and saw the words written on it: "Mom, I'm in. Let's take a day off. We'll find a chance tomorrow night and escape!"

…

In the bedroom, Lu Chunying clutched the quilt tightly.

The reason for choosing travel repair is to run fast.

Mom, you have to open the box and look.
