Chapter 345: Looking at the tide from the river, thinking about the past
Anyway, it was just a casual mention to distract the attention of people from Kassel Academy and others, and Lu Mingfei did not expect to get a reply immediately.
After a brief stay and listening to the new Kuimen plan jointly formulated by the three parties, people from the Tang and Zhou families surrounded him warmly and invited him to reminisce about the past and recall the glorious days of their ancestors.
"Let's go!" Lu Mingfei responded readily, and pulled Chu Zihang and Xia Mi with him, as if he was inviting his friends to go to the Internet cafe to play games.
Just as Finkel was about to follow along to continue listening to the gossip, he was pinned to the spot by a look from Professor Mance.
Looking at Professor Mans' expressionless face that couldn't tell what he was thinking, Finkel's heart began to beat fast. Could it be that the principal had talked to Mans and wanted to assign him more tasks to earn credits for graduation, so he planned to let him go on the dive to explore as well, so that he could form a team with Shude Aki?
Are you really treating Ye Sheng and Shude Aki as Japanese?
Don’t do such things as bragging about other teammates!
Thinking of this, he almost wanted to bite his handkerchief and cried silently. He thought to himself that after his trip to Japan, everything he saw was tainted and his pure heart was polluted.
Fortunately, Professor Mans did not keep him to recruit laborers, but simply wanted to ask him something.
About Lu Mingfei's attitude towards Kassel Academy and other hybrid organizations, his enthusiasm for slaying dragons, and who the mysterious organization behind him is.
These are issues that everyone in Kassel is very concerned about. In serious cases, they may even concern the future of the secret party.
I think Ange asked Finkel to follow Lu Mingfei for this reason. After all, this famous paparazzi in Cassel is well-known for his ability to dig up news. He had only been in Japan for a few days before, but he had already dug up some of the gossips between the heads of the Fuma family, the Sakurai family, and the Ryoma family.
Unfortunately, Finkel was unable to reveal some useful information as they wished.
Although Lu Mingfei's attitude towards Cassel was not as negative as it was at the beginning, it was still lukewarm, especially towards the school board and the secret party behind him.
He does not have much intention of getting close to his mixed-race family in mainland China. Although he has changed a lot, he is still himself in essence. He just wants to live in his own little piece of land and will not leave his hometown unless it is necessary.
This time, on the surface, he wanted to bully his classmates and was invited by Zhou Minhao, but in fact, he came for the King of Bronze and Fire. Everything has a beginning and an end. The group of corpse guards in Wushan were exposed because of him, so naturally he had to deal with it.
Of course, this was a lie. Finkel didn't dare to tell the truth. Otherwise, Lu Mingfei would not have to wait until the future to cause trouble for Gattuso's family. Now the two sides might turn against each other because of their different goals.
As for the last one, Finkel really knew it. Not only did he know it, he had also met with important members. But can he tell about this?
Yes, but it should be explained selectively.
For example, the behind-the-scenes investor of Media Asia Group, as long as people pay attention, Kassel College will be able to find him even if he does not report it.
He had already checked, and if he followed this line, he could only find overseas capital, which was difficult to trace. So he was not afraid of the mysterious potato chip girl being exposed.
Professor Mans and Caesar fell into deep thought, each weighing the information revealed by Finkel.
Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki exchanged meaningful glances, looking back and forth at Finger, as if to say, "Finger, you are so good, so you are also on the pirate ship?"
They both knew the whole process of Lu Mingfei's killing of gods, but Finkel obviously knew more inside information, but he pretended to be stupid and refused to reveal any information.
Facing the silent condemnation of the two, Finkel pretended not to see it, holding the teacup, and cautiously asked: "Um... Professor, can I leave now? There is a lot of gossip... intelligence waiting for me to find out next door."
Professor Mans looked at his impatient look and felt both regretful and helpless.
As they are all Germans and descendants of aristocrats, Professor Mans has always been very concerned about Fingel.
Long before he entered school, he had heard of Finkel, a mixed-blood warrior who was prouder than Caesar and more aggressive than Chu Zihang. He was the future leader that even Angers felt he could pass on his mantle to.
But who could have imagined that in just a few years, that high-spirited genius would degenerate into the sloppy and carefree person he is today?
Professor Mance sighed, too lazy to keep him any longer, and waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Finkel felt as if he had been pardoned. He immediately ran away and headed straight for the place prepared by the Tang and Zhou families.
Oddly enough, he, a foreigner with silver hair and grey eyes, did not seem out of place at all among a group of black-haired and black-eyed Chinese people. Instead, he looked like an idle person who was supposed to be there to join in the fun.
Lu Mingfei stayed in the Tang and Zhou families' territory for nearly an hour, chatting and drinking a lot of tea, then he stood up and said goodbye.
People from both families tried to persuade him to stay, saying "It's a great pleasure to have friends visiting from afar" and insisted that he stay for dinner before leaving.
However, Lu Mingfei waved his hand, indicating that his relatives and friends were waiting for him, and left resolutely.
Zhou Minhao originally thought that his business was over, but when the family elder gave him a sharp look, he immediately stood up resignedly and obediently became Lu Mingfei's full-time driver.
To think that he, a big taxpayer in Kunshan, has fallen to the level of a driver. He is not even worthy of being a driver... He must be one!
Driving for the future head of the Lu family is better than being a driver for that lady in the clan. At least you don't have to worry about being whipped by her for talking too loudly.
If Lu Mingfei knew what he was thinking, he would probably sigh and say that it had been nine years since the last Kunshan bully died in self-defense and was hacked to death.
When I returned to the B&B, before I reached the door, I saw Lao Tang standing on the roof from afar, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. Ryoma Xun was below with a look of despair on his face.
If he put on an ancient robe, tied his hair up and wore a crown, he could really cosplay as a poet and say "The Yangtze River rolls eastward, its waves wash away all heroes."
But Lu Mingfei knew very well that the poem in this guy’s mind was most likely “I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times. When I turned around, he was there, deep in the Yangtze River.”
He pushed the door open and got out of the car, shouting, "Why are you standing so high? Are you thinking too hard?"
Old Tang, however, did not even turn his head, and said in a deep voice: "As a stranger in a foreign land, I know my brothers are climbing high from afar."
What I want to express is probably that I just read a poem by Wang Wei and felt that it particularly fits my mood at the moment, so I climbed up here to pretend to be deep and miss my good brother who is missing.
Since he knew that Constantine was in this area, he wanted to try whether he could create a blood resonance with his brother that transcends time and space, so as to lock on to each other's location.
But it was obvious that he was thinking too much. The scenes in his "memory" were too outdated and completely different from reality, and could not move the lock that sealed his memory at all.
In response, Lu Mingfei said that as long as he was happy, he was too lazy to pay attention to Lao Tang’s sudden literary illness, and directly pushed the door and went into the house to find Huili.
When he passed by Ryoma Kaoru, he gave her a thumbs up.
Be strong, you chose the person, so just make do with it.
Finkel looked at him and thought to himself that it was no wonder that Lu Mingfei was reluctant to let him go. This way of thinking was really interesting when they were brothers.
Xia Mi had a subtle expression, wondering what Norton's reaction would be when he recovered his memory and looked back at the memory of "Ronald Tang" in the future.
Should I accept it calmly or delete it with one click?
But she didn't disturb him. She planned to take Chu Zihang out to cast a few rods and catch some ingredients for dinner.
Inside the house, Eri didn't feel bored because Lu Mingfei had been away for too long. There was a game console specially prepared in the homestay, and she was having fun playing in her room. Her opponent was still "I Want to Repair the Sky".
The fighting scene on the game console screen kept flashing. The girl sat cross-legged on the cushion, her fingers flexibly controlling the handle. Chun-Li on the screen was using a [Hundred Kicks] to force Kasugano Sakura into the corner.
She was playing very attentively, but she had heard Lu Mingfei's voice just now. At this time, the sound of the door lock turning was heard. Eri, who had been thinking of using Chun-Li to tease Kasugano Sakura again, suddenly jumped up and controlled the cheongsam beauty to kick Kasugano Sakura to death with a [Bashan Tiansheng Kick].
"KO!"
Eri didn't even look at the new battle invitation that popped up, she dropped the controller and ran towards the door.
As soon as Lu Mingfei pushed the door open, a soft body bumped into his arms.
Eri looked up, her eyes sparkling: "Sakura, I want to go out and play!"
Having been a stay-at-home girl for more than ten years, Eri is always passionate about "going out", especially when she comes to a city of mountains and rivers like Fengjie. Baidi City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with the river breeze blowing on her face, and the scenery is no less than the seaside of Umezuji Town.
Lu Mingfei smiled and ruffled her hair: "Okay, wait for me to clean up."
He bent down to put away the game console, and waited for Eri to change into a light-colored dress suitable for shopping - she has been very fond of this light style when going out recently, because when she walks in this dress, the hem of the skirt flutters like a butterfly, looking beautiful.
It’s a good opportunity to take this opportunity to plan which route will be more convenient for me to take at night.
Needless to say, the Tang and Zhou families as well as Kassel College will be paying close attention to his movements, so it is better not to use transportation unless necessary.
When they walked out of the door, Lao Tang was still on the rooftop looking for his brother's sense. Longma Xun simply ran up to accompany him in being silly, truly fulfilling the saying that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog.
Zhou Minhao was on standby in the living room. Originally, when he saw Xia Mi carrying a fishing rod and going fishing with Chu Zihang, he wanted to follow them. However, the task given to him by his family was to follow Lu Mingfei and try his best to meet the other party's requirements. He could not walk around randomly, so he could only watch a movie with Finkel, which was the classic movie "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village".
Lu Mingfei didn't disturb them from watching the horror movie, and went out for a walk with Eiry.
Fengjie County is a major tourist city with countless attractions, especially the Wuhou Temple in Baidi City, which is very popular. Just after the college entrance examination season, many parents brought their children here to pray for their academic success.
The streets were crowded with people, and Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi blended in with the crowd, looking like an ordinary couple.
Eri is curious about everything. She squatted in front of a roadside stall, staring at the bamboo dragonflies and small baskets for a long time, her eyes full of surprise.
The boss knew at first sight that the girl was a foreigner, and she was dressed in a rich and luxurious manner, looking like an innocent young lady. He wanted to rip her off, but after looking at her clear eyes, he just smiled and asked:
"Girl, would you like to buy one? It's only ten dollars."
Eiry barely understood and looked up at Lu Mingfei with the word "want" written in her eyes.
Lu Mingfei paid for a dragonfly. Eri held a bamboo stick and shook it gently. The wings of the bamboo dragonfly began to flutter and she immediately smiled happily.
It was a simple little gadget, not very well made, and not many people would buy it in later generations, and children wouldn’t want to play with it. But it was a treasure the girl had never seen before.
A circle of children gathered around the sugar painting stall on the corner. Huili also pulled Lu Mingfei over to watch the master scoop up a spoonful of melted syrup, turn his wrist, and the golden sugar threads flowed on the stone slab into a phoenix with spread wings.
"Sakura, that's so beautiful!" Eri pointed at the sugar phoenix, and suddenly felt that the bamboo dragonfly in her hand no longer smelled good.
Lu Mingfei immediately understood and paid for the newly-baked sugar phoenix.
Eri held up the sugar painting and compared it to the bamboo dragonfly. The more she looked at it, the prettier it became. She couldn't bear to eat it, so Lu Mingfei teased her, "It will melt if you don't eat it now. It will be hard to wash off when it sticks to your hands."
She then licked it carefully, and her eyes instantly curved into crescents: "So sweet!"
Then he put the candy phoenix close to Lu Mingfei's mouth: "Sakura, eat it too."
Lu Mingfei smiled and bit off the tip of the phoenix wing. It was sickeningly sweet, but surprisingly tasted good.
As the sky gradually darkened, the two of them slowly walked back along the stone steps by the river. Lu Mingfei wondered how many kilometers away from the underwater survey point designated by Kassel Academy this place was. Eri suddenly pointed at two figures not far away: "Xia Mi and Lao Chu."
She was led astray by Old Tang and started calling Chu Zihang "Old Chu". Of course, Lu Mingfei would also call him Old Chu occasionally.
The two walked over, and Lu Mingfei deliberately said in a hoarse voice:
"Hello, fishing is prohibited here!"
Xia Mi had already spotted them, and she didn't even bother to raise her head: "If you want to fine me, find the guy next to you."
"Our rule here is that anyone who violates the fishing rules will have their legs broken."
Xia Mi began to explain: "Whoever intentionally injures another person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance; if the person is seriously injured, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years."
"What? Are you trying to scare me?" Lu Mingfei thought to himself that this girl seemed to know the regulations by heart, and he wondered if she was breaking the law knowingly.
This time Xia Mi did not reply to him, but turned to look at Chu Zihang: "Brother, go ahead and do it boldly, I will come to see you often."
So he was giving Chu Zihang some scientific knowledge, asking him to break the girl's legs so as not to hinder her fishing!
Chu Zihang pretended not to hear this and turned to look at Lu Mingfei. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly passed over him and Eiry and looked further behind.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei turned around and found that it was Jiang Wanzhi who came back, followed by two men and one woman, who were looking over here.
"What's going on? Isn't she an only child?"
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The two men, one old and one young, standing side by side were both mixed-race, but one had mediocre blood and the other was thin and seemed not to have awakened.
