Castle in the Sky: Husband of the Castle Master 11
The area behind the mountain was so vast that Chu Li and his spirit pets searched the land for a long time. With several spirit pets, their initial enthusiasm gradually turned into exhaustion.
By the last day, the spirit pets had returned to Chu Li with tired steps.
Looking at the dejected spirit pets, Chu Li reached out and touched their heads to comfort them, but even so, he could not calm his deep anxiety.
It was the last day. If she still hadn't found the jar of wine, not to mention how embarrassing it would be, she would feel ashamed just for not being able to take You Chengze away and rescue the common people.
Chu Li thought for a while, picked up a few fur balls, and then walked in a random direction.
Instead of being sad here, it’s better to keep looking. It’s not dark yet, and it’s not the fourth day yet. There is still hope.
After she finished thinking, she was already walking towards the southernmost part.
Time flies, the scorching sun hangs overhead, then slowly sets, and the sky is dyed with delicate orange and red.
Chu Li raised her eyes and glanced at half of the sky. The setting sun was pouring down on the green leaves and weeds, and she was completely enveloped by the beam of light.
At this moment, she had no time to think too much.
Walking from morning to evening consumed a lot of her energy, and she could only breathe instinctively.
Chu Li raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and the Samoyed in her arms suddenly broke free from her arms.
She was startled, stopped what she was doing, and followed immediately.
The Samoyed had recovered a lot of strength and was running very fast on its four legs. When Chu Li arrived, the little guy was digging the soil happily and tirelessly.
Chu Li immediately stepped forward, and when she got closer, she found a jar of wine buried deep in the soil. The jar was heavy and large, and the aroma of wine could be smelled through the cork.
She didn't like drinking, but she couldn't help but inhale the mellow aroma for a while. From the tip of her nose to her lungs, it felt tingling and numb, and the fatigue in her body was washed away.
Chu Li was satisfied after finding the wine jar. She picked up the jar and was about to let the raven carry her away when she suddenly stopped and noticed the crooked stone tablet at her feet.
The lower half of the stone tablet has been submerged in the picture, and the upper half is only a few heads higher than the weeds. If you don't pay close attention, it can easily be overlooked.
No wonder she searched around the back mountain for so long but couldn't find it.
Chu Li thought about it and noticed the words on the stone tablet.
After years of wear and tear and rain, the words on the stone tablet have become somewhat illegible.
But she was very curious, so she took out her handkerchief and wiped the stone tablet for a long time before she could see the words on the stone tablet clearly -
Lu Changxing.
Chu Li was stunned for a long time, and an absurd idea emerged in her mind. She was not sure whether her guess was true, but on this back mountain, there was no one living there, but only Lu Changxing's stone tablet stood there.
The back mountain that no one goes to is not the place where wild beasts live as others say, but the cemetery of Lu Changxing.
Realizing this, Chu Li broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, she was holding the wine, neither wanting to throw it away nor throwing it away.
He simply called out Raven, took his spirit pets, and quickly left this strange place before the sun set.
The evening breeze was not as cold as the morning breeze, and warmth blew on her face. Chu Li's mind was restless, and all sorts of thoughts popped up in her mind. She had many doubts at the moment, and if she couldn't get the answers, she would definitely not be able to eat or sleep well tonight.
Chu Li asked the raven to speed up again until the setting sun gradually disappeared in the sky. She turned back to the city and saw Shu'er and You Chengze standing at the door waiting.
The man had changed into a clean white gown, with his hair tied up. He looked much better, but his face was still pale and weak.
Chu Li jumped off the raven and walked quickly to Shu'er.
She placed the wine jar on the ground and heard Shu'er chuckle. She said with emotion, "You actually found it. Mission accomplished."
After saying that, Shu'er raised her hand and pushed You Chengze towards her. She then stretched out her hand and showed the seal on her palm: "Here, the seal you asked for, and... your man. All intact, I give them to you."
Chu Li stared at her for a long time, without reaching out to take the seal, nor responding to her words.
When she was about to ask a question, Shu'er was one step ahead of her.
Shu'er had already walked to You Chengze's side, stuffed the seal into You Chengze's arms, and said, "Don't say I didn't warn you, your situation can't be delayed any longer."
Although the voice was very soft and low, Chu Li could still hear it clearly.
She frowned slightly and asked anxiously, "What do you mean? What's going on with him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shu'er looked over, her gaze pure and clean without any other emotions.
"Little friend, it seems that you didn't find the answer you wanted in the back mountain. Tell me, what do you want to ask?" She did not answer Chu Li's question about You Chengze, but changed the subject.
"You're still talking about it, Lu Changxing has actually been gone from this world for a long time, right?"
When these words came out, Shu'er raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile on her lips became even wider. She said, "Quite smart."
Seeing her subtle answer, Chu Li simply asked all the questions in his heart: "Shouldn't you explain to me why the people under the city are wearing Lu Changxing's human skin? Why weren't you angry at all after you exposed my true identity? And! What is your relationship with Lu Changxing?"
These questions had actually been on her mind for a long time, and she couldn't figure out why.
When I saw the monument on the back mountain, I felt scared at first, but now that I have calmed down, I feel something is wrong.
After she asked this question, she glanced slightly in Shu'er's direction.
Although this person always kept smiling, the pause between his face and eyes was still caught by the attentive Chu Li.
After a long while, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked at the bright moon in the sky with his beautiful eyes.
"Lu Changxing...is actually my son."
Chu Li: ???
son? !
Isn’t it said that Lu Changxing is her husband? This... relationship is too confusing.
The mother lost her son. To express her grief for him, she raised a group of pets and secretly missed him. Was it just to cover up the dirty thoughts deep in her heart?!
"What are you thinking about?" Shu'er noticed her mind was wandering in an unbelievable direction. After stopping her, she let out a long sigh and said, "Many years ago, Lu Chuanjing was the mayor of this sky city. When he came to inspect the people below the city, he fell in love with me and took me back to the city."
Shu'er felt that Lu Chuanjing was an extremely domineering and unreasonable man. This love at first sight that others envied was just a momentary impulse for her.
She didn't believe in the purity of this love, so she ran away again and again. Lu Chuanjing liked her so much that he allowed her to run away again and again, and brought her back again and again.
She ran away from him and he chased her, and the scene was repeated many times, and Shu'er gradually fell in love with him. Lu Chuanjing was really good to her, always responding to her requests, never limiting himself, and always protecting her and leaving first when she was in danger.
She was completely immersed in the man's tenderness.
Later, Lu Chuanjing gave her a perfect wedding. After the wedding, she gave birth to a son named Lu Changxing.
The city lord and his wife, who were supposed to be heading towards a happy life, had their relationship ruined the following month.
Lu Chuanjing died together with the rebellious enemy troops, and left a suicide note, handing over the Sky City to Shu'er to manage.
Shu'er was in great pain, but thinking of her husband's instructions, she took the courage.
The city prospered and life gradually got better, but unexpectedly, Lu Changxing disappeared again.
Shu'er led many soldiers to plunder the entire land and finally found Lu Changxing dead in the back mountain. His death was extremely cruel, he was bitten to death by wild beasts left by the enemy.
Since then, Shu'er has cleared the entire back mountain, planted trees and flowers, just to commemorate her son Lu Changxing.
Later, she suffered the pain of losing her father and son and became depressed. Her friend could not bear it and suggested recruiting men.
Shu'er didn't want to do such an unfaithful thing, but her situation was too bad, so her sisters raised funds privately, and after a few rounds, Shu'er actually came to terms with it.
When she didn't sleep with men, she coveted their service and beauty, but that was all, and she never overstepped the boundaries.
After hearing this explanation, Chu Li felt mixed emotions. She sympathized with the man's tragic early life, but she also felt that her habit of raising Nan Chong was indeed not commendable.
"As for why the people below the city have my child's skin, it's because you are too stupid, little friend, and you were deceived."
"I'm not stupid!" She has a postgraduate degree!
"Yes, you're not stupid, but you're too kind, so you were ultimately taken advantage of." Shu'er sighed softly and continued, "Those beggars below the city are the descendants of the enemy army. They've lived here for a long time, dreaming of conquering the Sky City. Kid, don't be fooled by these people next time."
Upon hearing the truth, Chu Li's heart skipped a beat. She had done something with good intentions, but a group of petty thieves had robbed her of all her belongings. The most infuriating thing was that she actually took it seriously!
"But you did kidnap You Chengze!" Chu Li said again.
Shu'er couldn't help laughing, and with her lips slightly curved, she slowly walked to Chu Li's side and said, "I just suddenly had something I wanted to talk to Cheng Ze about, so I just used this method. I didn't expect that there would be someone traveling with me this time. I apologize to you."
"What do you mean..." Chu Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and said in surprise, "Oh, so you two really do know each other! You actually made me so worried for so long!"
As soon as he finished speaking, You Chengze beside him coughed slightly.
The man raised his eyes and cast a few inexplicable glances at Shu'er, as if he was hiding something.
The next moment, Shu'er's silver bell-like laughter rang out again: "It was just a joke. My men kidnapped the wrong person. As an apology, I'll tell you something else."
What's the matter?
Chu Li was curious and subconsciously moved closer to Shu'er.
"I've tried it for you. I have a good eye. The man is honest and loyal to you."
What what?!
What is this person saying?
Seeing Chu Li's bewildered expression, Shu'er's laughter grew even more unbridled. Suddenly, she added, "I have no interest in You Chengze. What you saw was just an illusion created by the incense. But it seems I didn't make a mistake this time. At least you two like each other."
After she finished speaking, she patted Chu Li's shoulder again and said, "Little friend, I am optimistic about you and You Chengze. Remember to invite me to the wedding."
