Chapter 221 A glimmer of hope
Su Nuobai looked at the things on the paper and felt a little powerless. She couldn't figure out Lu Heyu.
There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that this person's fate has been changed, or he has a close connection with you, so it cannot be calculated.
If Lu Heyu wanted to live past the age of twenty, he had no choice but to change his fate, and he himself became the key to changing his fate.
A thought flashed through her mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it.
Lu Heyu frowned at her and asked, "Will she not live past the age of twenty?"
Su Nuobai looked at his face, then looked at the calculations on the paper, and saw a glimmer of hope.
She shook her head helplessly: "No, you have a glimmer of hope, but this glimmer of hope is not that easy to find."
"If it's hard to find, then don't look for it. But it's good that you know my feelings. It's better than if I die one day and you don't know!" Lu Heyu smiled faintly.
"You are quite open-minded." Su Nuobai looked at him and smiled.
"I've known this for a long time, but it just gives me a little more hope. It's okay if that hope is gone. I hope that since we've known each other for a while, you can do me a favor when the time comes."
Lu Heyu looked at her seriously, which was rare.
Su Nuobai raised an eyebrow: "What's the matter?"
"If I really can't get through that, please help me look after my family." The three women in the family are the ones Lu Heyu can't let go of.
"Take care of yourself and stop saying discouraging things. I haven't given up, and you can't either." Su Nuobai rolled his eyes and drank the wine glass in one gulp.
Tong Deyong had a plum blossom banquet prepared, but the atmosphere was a little off when Xi Jinyou and Lu Lingyan came back.
Su Nuobai looked at the two people's abnormal condition, then looked at their faces, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
Xi Jinyou and Lu Lingyan both glared at her. This guy knew everything and was really not cute at all.
After dinner, the two of them left in a hurry, each going their own way.
Lu Heyu frowned slightly as he looked at the two people's carriage: "What happened to them? They acted strangely after returning."
"Who knows?" Su Nuobai shrugged with a smile.
Lu Heyu turned around and caught up with her: "You must know."
"The secret cannot be revealed, Lord Lu." Su Nuobai returned to the room where he would stay that night with his hands behind his back with a happy expression.
Tong Deyong opened the door of the study as she requested. Their room was next to the study.
After a stroll, Lu Heyu had nothing to do, so he went to the study to find a book to read.
As soon as I entered, the study door was closed.
He looked at the door with some doubt, only to see a pretty young woman walking out from the shadows.
"Who are you?"
"Young master, I am from this plum garden. I saw that you were lonely, so I came here to keep you company." The woman said as she moved closer to Lu Heyu.
As soon as she approached Lu Heyu, she was bounced away by the jade pendant on his body.
"Huahua!" Pieces of paper fell all over the floor.
The woman had already changed her appearance and turned into a hanged ghost with a pale face, wide eyes and a long tongue.
"Do you have any other tricks?" Su Nuobai came in at some point, leaning against the door frame with her arms folded across her chest.
The hanged man immediately twisted his head off, held it in his arms, and looked at the two of them sinisterly.
I thought they would be scared, but they ended up chatting beside each other.
"What is this thing?" Lu Heyu looked at the headless ghost.
"Paper Charm, a spirit transformed from book pages, likes to suck the essence of men. The first one to die was from an overdose of it."
"The second one still couldn't control it well and sucked the person half to death. Look, you are the third one. It wants to use you as a training ground."
Su Nuobai looked at the paper spirit whose face had turned blue.
"Then why doesn't it feed on the people in the village?" Lu Heyu was a little surprised.
"A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow, but it has learned this essence." Su Nuobai shrugged.
"You two, can you please stop ignoring me like this?" The paper spirit was furious and turned into countless pieces of paper and flew towards the two of them.
Su Nuobai condensed a ball of heavenly fire in his hand and threw it at the shredded paper: "I really gave you face, but you are unwilling to let you live a little longer."
"Ah! Fire!" The paper ghost was so scared that it dodged left and right and flew all over the room.
"I was wrong, please, forgive me!" It begged for mercy while flying.
Su Nuobai clasped his hands together, and several streams of spiritual energy condensed into a barrier and compressed towards it.
The Paper Ghost had nowhere to hide, and watched the skyfire getting closer and closer, constantly hitting the barrier.
"From the moment you committed the sin of murder, there is no possibility of you living again." After Su Nuobai finished speaking, the fire in the barrier became brighter, and in just a moment the paper ghost turned into ashes.
Lu Heyu looked at the pile of black ash on the ground and asked: "Where did this paper ghost come from?"
"Some say it was the result of the scholar's obsession before his death, and some say it was the result of the words in the book." Su Nuobai didn't know exactly how it came here.
"Is it true that books contain golden houses and beautiful women?" Lu Heyu turned to look at her.
"It should be considered, otherwise how could she transform into a young girl?" Su Nuobai said as he opened the door.
Tong Deyong didn't dare to sleep all night, fearing that something might happen to the two of them, so he stayed outside the yard.
Seeing the two people coming out, he hurried over and said, "My two lords, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I've already solved it for you. Nothing will happen again." Su Nuobai said with a smile.
Tong Deyong bowed quickly and said, "Thank you both, my Lords. You can come to the Plum Garden anytime from now on."
"After a busy night, it's time to have a good sleep." Su Nuobai stretched.
She hasn't slept for the past two days. Although practicing doesn't make her tired, she is used to sleeping and it's hard to change.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Su Nuobai could see the plum blossoms outside through the window, their red color dazzling.
She walked barefoot to the ground, went to the window and opened it, and saw a man sitting in the plum forest playing the piano.
The sound of the piano was melodious and pleasant. He jumped out of the window, stepped on the plum tree, and snow fell to the ground.
"I didn't expect that Lord Lu could play the piano."
Lu Heyu looked up at her standing barefoot on the plum tree and said, "Don't worry about catching a cold. Go put on your shoes and socks. If you want to listen, I can play for you."
Su Nuobai went back to put on her shoes and socks, put on a cloak and walked out, sat opposite him, took out the tea set and made tea.
"Aren't you going to court today?"
"I'm asking for leave." Lu Heyu said as he gently plucked the strings of the zither with his fingers.
The two of them were surprisingly harmonious as they played the piano and drank tea.
After the song ended, Su Nuobai handed him a cup of brewed tea and said, "The plum trees in this plum forest have all the colors."
"Do you like it?" Lu Heyu took the tea and took a sip.
"It can be used to set up an array, but the fragrance of plum blossoms is cold, not as elegant and pleasant as peach blossoms." What Su Nuobai didn't say was that peaches are also more delicious than plums.
Lu Heyu smiled faintly: "I just don't know if Ziqi's thousand-year-old peach tree will still bear fruit. Is it the same as the fairy peach as described in the storybook?"
