Chapter 1223 Going up the mountain
After dinner, Lu Xiaoxiao washed the lunch box. Then she put the lunch box in the old man's hand and let him go back to his room.
After the old man left Lu Xiaoxiao's room, he looked at the two lunch boxes in his hands, turned around and looked at the closed door. He felt like he was being abandoned.
The next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao was awakened by a knock on the door. She scratched her hair in annoyance and got out of bed to open the door.
"It's not even dawn yet, why are you knocking on the door so early?" After Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door, she saw the old man standing in front of her door, so she asked the old man.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the old man said, "The mountain where the energy stone was found is in Kake Village, and the only vehicle going to Kake Village is a bullock cart carrying goods, and the bullock cart that carries goods will leave for Kake Village at 6:30 in the morning, so I came to wake you up so early."
"I understand. I'll get up right away. You wait for me downstairs." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing what the old man said.
"This is the noodles I bought for you at the state-owned restaurant. Remember to eat before coming downstairs." After the old man finished speaking, he put the lunch box in Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, then he turned around and went downstairs.
After the old man went downstairs, Lu Xiaoxiao closed the door, quickly washed and changed clothes, ate the noodles that the old man bought for her, and went downstairs with her backpack.
"Comrade, I'm checking out." Lu Xiaoxiao said after handing the key to the lady at the counter after arriving downstairs.
"Xiaoxiao, hurry up. If you don't leave now you will miss the ox cart." The old man urged Lu Xiaoxiao.
"good."
After leaving the state-owned hotel, Lu Xiaoxiao followed the old man. Although she looked sloppy, her walking speed was no slower than that of the old man. She followed behind the old man from beginning to end and was not left behind by him.
"Old Ghost, have you taken the wrong road? Why haven't we arrived yet after walking for more than ten minutes?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the old ghost.
"We're not going the wrong way. We'll be there in a few minutes."
After hearing what the old ghost said, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else and continued to follow the old ghost.
Seven or eight minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao came to an alley. She saw the old man walk into the alley, then reached out and knocked on a door.
"Er Luozi, you can go now." The old ghost said to Er Luozi after Er Luozi opened the door.
"I'm going to get the bullock cart. I'll be right there. You wait for me at the entrance of the alley."
"good."
After the ghost old man came out of the alley, he said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Er Luozi will be out in a while."
Er Luozi pulled the ox cart out of the alley and saw the old ghost standing with a little girl. He said to the old ghost, "Old ghost, why did you bring your granddaughter with you?"
"She is not my granddaughter, she is a close friend of mine regardless of age difference." The old man couldn't tell anyone else about his relationship with Lu Xiaoxiao, so he had to make up a story about the relationship between him and Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I was wondering how you could have such a pretty granddaughter when you are so ugly. Now I don't have to be jealous of you anymore."
"I was also very handsome when I was young. I don't know how many girls wanted to marry me, but unfortunately I didn't like any of them. If I had married at that time, my granddaughter would definitely be as pretty as Xiaoxiao."
"I don't believe you. Just looking at your current appearance, I can imagine what you looked like before, so stop daydreaming."
