Chapter 507 Extra: Lu Li and Feng Qi (I)
Lu Li and Feng Qi left the capital.
The two planned to find a place with beautiful scenery to live in seclusion as agreed.
They took a fancy to Xiaohe Village.
This is where they first met in the human world.
Since Xiaohe Village was destroyed by the last flood, the imperial court has allocated a lot of money to help them repair their houses and reclaim land for farming.
With the appointment of a new county magistrate who loves his people like his own children, Xiaohe Village is now more prosperous than before.
Lu Li and his friends bought a piece of land from the village chief and hired someone to build a large tiled house with green bricks.
Different from the grand and exquisite palace, the houses here are more simple and elegant.
After the house was repaired, the two moved in.
At first, I was quite happy.
But after a few days, they both got tired.
They used to live a life of having everything provided for them, but now there are only two of them and they have to do everything by themselves, which both of them find very uncomfortable.
It's fun to cook and do laundry occasionally, but doing it every day makes both of us very tired.
Although they can use magic to clean their clothes, the villagers will become suspicious if they are not seen washing clothes or cooking.
Moreover, Lu Li was used to eating three meals a day, and now she suddenly stopped eating, which made her feel very awkward.
In desperation, they could only spend money to hire someone to cook for them and wash their clothes. Unexpectedly, even so, it still attracted criticism.
"These two people look like they come from a wealthy family, but they have no parents and no servants. Could they have eloped?"
"I think you are right. These two must have eloped."
"That woman is so pretty, maybe she is the concubine of a wealthy businessman, and the man is a gigolo. The two of them murdered the wealthy businessman and absconded with the money and came to our place."
"Don't tell me, this is really possible. Otherwise, why would two rich people come to our village? They must be hiding from their lovers."
…
Feng Qi and Lu Li were helpless when they heard the people's speculations behind their backs.
"I think we shouldn't live in such a crowded place." Lu Li was a little angry and a little regretful.
Why did they come to settle down in such a crowded village?
So what if the scenery is beautiful? There are too many gossipers, which makes her upset.
"Then A-li, where do you want to move to?" Feng Qi touched her head soothingly, signaling her not to worry.
Anyway, they have plenty of time, so they can go wherever they want.
"Let's go find our father and mother!" Lu Li's eyes lit up.
After my father attained meditation, he and my mother traveled around Daxia, and also visited the city of Yaskal, Fuso Island, Rakshasa Kingdom, and Peacock Kingdom.
I returned to Daxia just a few years ago and settled in Wuzhou.
The scenery there was also very beautiful, and there were palace maids serving her. When she went there, she just lay down and enjoyed herself happily.
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more excited she became.
"Okay, if you want to go, then let's go." Fengqi had no objection to her decision.
After waking up from a thousand years of sleep, he stayed by Ahri's side and felt that every moment was worth cherishing.
No matter where I am, as long as A-Li is there, I will be the happiest.
They left without delay, packed up their bags and gave the house to the shopkeeper Wang.
Today, Shopkeeper Wang has several grandchildren and has returned to the village to spend his remaining years.
He never expected that Lu Lifengqi, who had nothing to do with him, would give him the house.
"How can this be possible?" Seeing such a huge cake falling from the sky, Shopkeeper Wang was not only delighted but also more panicked.
The two of them were not related in any way, and he would not dare to accept such a big house if it was given to him out of thin air.
"Manager Wang, don't you remember me?" Lu Li changed into men's clothes and greeted him in a young man's voice.
"I was the one who warned you when the dam collapsed that year."
Shopkeeper Wang listened to the familiar voice and squinted his eyes to look at Lu Li carefully.
"It's you, the young master who can tell fortunes!" Shopkeeper Wang remembered.
That year, he was still the innkeeper. It was raining heavily and it was this young master who reminded him to go home and take his family out for shelter from the rain, thus saving the lives of his entire family.
"Benefactor! You are our benefactor." Shopkeeper Wang immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Li.
"You don't have to be so polite. It's because we are destined to meet that we have this opportunity." Lu Li helped him up.
Back then, the Wang family, the shopkeeper, made great contributions by helping the common people to get through the chaos.
Moreover, they have been in Xiaohe Village for so long, and only the Wang family has not criticized them behind their backs or said bad things about them.
Anyway, she will never come back in the future. If this house is left vacant, it will definitely be occupied by a shameless person. It is better to give it to someone I like.
Shopkeeper Wang accepted the house given by Lu Li with profuse gratitude, and then ordered his daughter-in-law to prepare a lot of homemade bacon and bacon, as well as a lot of corn and tomatoes grown by himself, and gave them to the two of them.
If Lu Li hadn't repeatedly stopped them, the carriage would have been filled with them.
When the villagers learned that Wang and his family had exchanged some vegetables and bacon for this house, they became envious and began to make sarcastic remarks.
Shopkeeper Wang was not used to them. He was a native of Xiaohe Village and had two sons, five grandsons, and his in-laws also lived nearby. If anyone wanted to make trouble, he would deal with them.
He revealed Lu Li's identity.
"If the young master hadn't told the power county master, and the county master had ordered us to move to the mountains, the heavy rain and flood that year would have drowned us all. You are still saying bad things about the young master behind his back, don't you feel guilty?"
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that Lu Li was the fortune teller who saved them that year.
"You took over their house, so of course you have to say good things about them." Someone was jealous that Manager Wang got such a big house, and immediately jumped out to sing a different tune.
"Yes, it's because I said good things and you all said bad things, so he didn't give the house to you. What do you think, are you jealous? Are you envious? I'm going to piss you off to death." Shopkeeper Wang snorted and immediately called his grandchildren to move to the big house given by Lu Li.
"Also, if you hadn't been complaining behind their backs, the young master and his family wouldn't have moved away. They originally planned to build a free school in the village and give a cow to every household. Now, they can't stand it anymore and have moved away."
Shopkeeper Wang deliberately said something that made them regret in order to provoke them.
As expected, after hearing this, everyone slapped their thighs in regret.
If they had known this, they wouldn't have talked nonsense.
Their schools and their cows are all gone!
"Remember, in the future, before you know the truth of the matter, don't make up rumors behind people's backs." Shopkeeper Wang took the opportunity to educate his children.
The children nodded to show that they remembered it.
…
Lu Li and Feng Qi had no idea what Manager Wang had said as they were rushing to Wuzhou.
Five days later, they arrived at the "Liyuan" where Lu Yanshi and Xia Shuyi lived.
When Lu Li saw the plaque, her nose felt a little sour.
Her father, the emperor, and her mother, the queen, actually named this house after her.
They still care about her.
