Enthusiastic citizens Mr. Gong and Mr. Lu just got off the plane with their families.
I took a taxi and went straight to the station.
After two days away, I reached the large intersection at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the blue brick houses on the hillside, I felt a sense of belonging and longing. Just as I was feeling sentimental, I heard my eldest son say coldly, "What are you standing there for? Go home."
Yes, home.
Lu Cijiu smiled widely, picked up Dudu with one arm, and said happily, "Let's go home!"
Dudu chuckled.
Tail Dragon held the kittens' hands and ran up the green lawn. The kittens ran happily and ran back. "Chiu Chiu, can we play with the cars?"
There were no fireworks at the amusement park, and Dudu was kidnapped again. Although the scammer came out with Dudu, Gong Xichao saw through the scam and took Dudu back, but in order to comfort the children, Lu Cijiu was very generous.
I bought a children's car, a dress-up version of a Barbie doll, and Lego building blocks.
"Okay, please Uncle Gong take it out." Lu Cijiu rubbed the cubs' heads.
The two dragon tails looked eagerly at Gong Xichao. Gong Xichao waved his hand, and two cars appeared on the lawn. One had a dazzling red tail, and the other was a gleaming gold.
The latter is Dalong's love.
Dudu likes dolls, while the kitten likes quietness and chose building blocks.
The children's car had seats. As soon as the car was taken out, Dalong and Weiba asked Dudu and the kitten if they wanted to play together. They were having a competition.
"Yes!" Dudu likes to play with his brothers.
The kitten nodded slowly, as if it didn't care.
The lawn at the entrance to the yard was well-trodden, making it easy to play inside or outside. It was spacious enough for running around. Lu Cijiu left the four cats alone, saying he'd be back to rest and drink some water after playing for a while.
Just walked in.
It was almost noon. As soon as Lu Cijiu walked in, Wang Hao and several workers were sitting in the yard eating boxed lunches.
"Thank you for your hard work." When Lu Cijiu saw several workers sitting on the ground, he knew that they were afraid of dirtying the jade bed. He said it several times but it was of no use. So he simply opened the door of the main hall and moved out the chairs so that everyone had a place to sit and eat.
Wang Hao said with a smile: "It's not hard, this job is easy to do. Master Lu seems to be doing well this time."
"It went quite smoothly." Lu Cijiu exchanged a few pleasantries, washed his hands and face, and went into the kitchen.
After a while, Gong Xichao came in. Lu Cijiu handed the large bowl of freshly washed fruit to Daerza and said casually, "Give it to Brother Wang and the others. Rest for a while."
Gong Xichao glanced at Lu Cijiu. It was not his illusion. Since the end of the Cold War, Lu Cijiu had been very close to him.
I need his help with every little thing.
What would Lu Cijiu do if he left him?
"What's wrong?" Lu Cijiu watched as his eldest son, holding a bowl of fruit, stared at him blankly. He had no idea. Could it be that Boss Diao had noticed his overreach and was trying to discipline his eldest son's ability to do chores? He probably wouldn't lose his temper over this, right?
He was right in judging people.
The eagle is always cold on the outside but warm on the inside, responsible, kind and just.
"Forget it, I've lived long enough anyway." Gong Xichao said, picked up the basin and went out.
Lu Bijiu:???
Even though Daerza and him sometimes didn't see eye to eye, he just worked hard. Lu Cijiu cheered up and continued cooking. Lunch was rice noodles. After soaking the noodles, he added the frozen, concentrated chicken broth cubes he'd prepared earlier. He brought water to a boil, then sautéed some minced meat with fermented black beans and broad bean paste. He also added blanched greens, a spoonful of fried soybeans and peanuts, and a spoonful of pickled mustard greens.
It's sour and spicy, full of flavor.
"Brother Gong, call the kids back for dinner."
"Remember to bring it back and wipe the sweat off your face, otherwise you'll catch a cold."
"And wash your hands and face."
Lu Cijiu finished shouting in the kitchen, but didn't move the spoon. He secretly stood by the window to watch his eldest son's movements. Was his order too frequent? Was his eldest son starting to rebel?
As a result, Gong Xichao walked out with a noble and cold look. After a while, he walked in front, followed by the four cubs.
"Wash your hands and face and wipe your face." The eldest son ordered coldly.
The kids went to work obediently.
That's fine. Lu Cijiu wanted to cultivate the children's hands-on ability.
Wang Hao and the workers took the fruits that Assistant Gong had washed to the backyard. At first, no one dared to touch them, but in the end, Wang Hao took them over.
The workers at the back were chatting: "Assistant Gong is too scared. I'm scared just looking at him."
"Yeah, she's so pretty, but she's just a bit scary."
"Brother Wang, why aren't you afraid?"
Wang Hao thought to himself, why am I not afraid? But he looked at the man who was about to attack him and said lightly, "No matter how scary Assistant Gong is, he is still Master Lu's assistant. With Master Lu watching over him, he can't just hit me, right?"
"Yeah, Master Lu is still awesome."
In the front yard, on the jade bed, a family of six ate noodles. Lu Cijiu said, "I have to go out this afternoon to buy Brother Gong a cell phone and some meat. I'll make a pot of pork ribs for Brother Wang and the others tomorrow."
They only charged for materials and labor, so Wang Hao probably didn't make much money and might even have to make some subsidies.
Lu Cijiu thought that the food had been arranged.
"Brother Gong, what kind of phone do you want?"
Gong Xichao thought to himself that Lu Cijiu was indeed becoming more and more fond of him. Not only could he not do without him for trivial matters, but now he even took the initiative to suggest buying him a new phone and gifts. Wasn't this a sign of falling deeper and deeper in love?
But if he refused, Lu Cijiu would definitely be sad.
What a dilemma.
"You're good that way." Gong Xichao tried to make his tone as cold and casual as possible.
Lu Cijiu: "Are you serious? My phone is so slow. I bought it in my sophomore year. Ever since I got more followers on Weibo, it sometimes takes a long time to lag and even crashes. You should buy a better one than mine." Otherwise, Diao Zong would have to "play with the phone" in such a bad mood.
Even though he was so cold, Lu Cijiu still wanted to buy him a better mobile phone.
Lu Cijiu really loves him.
When Gong Xichao thought of this, his heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and his face became a little hot. He covered his face with one hand and said casually, "Whatever you want."
He hurriedly left with the bowl.
"Do you want more? I'll help you get more followers."
"No, that's enough for me."
Lu Cijiu: Why does the eldest son sound a bit anxious? I guess he just got off the plane and doesn't have much of an appetite.
Gong Xichao hid in the kitchen holding a bowl, his face flushed. Lu Cijiu was too enthusiastic.
In the afternoon, Lu Cijiu went to the city to buy a mobile phone. It turned out that the store was having a promotion where the second phone of the same model was 30% off. Lu Cijiu thought that his phone was old, so he decided to replace all of them at once. This promotion was a good deal.
"Are both the same color?"
the waiter asked.
Lu Cijiu didn't care at first, but thinking that the phone might be mixed up, he glanced at the counter and said, "I want mine to be black, and his to be gold."
The golden eagle.
It fits the bill very well.
After paying the bill and applying for a credit card, I came out with Mr. Diao's ID card.
I bought a lot of meat: large bones, beef, spareribs, chicken legs, fish, and shrimp. My kids love meat. I'll also buy fresh vegetables and fruits in town tomorrow morning.
The door was opened, and the cubs were playing with building blocks on the jade bed. The kitten was the main one, Dalong couldn't sit still because he was lively, and Tail, because of his tail, lay on the small jade table with his butt sticking out. It was cold so he could only wear pants, and now it was bulging.
Dudu propped up his little face, pointed at a pink building block, and said, "Haha, it's pink."
The kitten shook his head, "No."
"Oh." Dudu nodded.
Gong Xichao was sitting at the side. When he saw Lu Cijiu coming back, he stood up, but then felt that he had moved too quickly. Now it would be strange to sit back down. He walked over to him with a noble and cool demeanor and asked, "Did you buy a cell phone?"
"I bought it. The color suits you very well." Lu Cijiu handed over the bag of meat.
Gong Xichao also took it smoothly.
I thought he wasn't asking for help, he just wanted to ask about my phone.
Lu Cijiu: ... Mr. Diao is really a great son. Because his father bought a gift, he stayed here obediently and took the initiative to do the work. He is really great!
He quickly took out his cell phone from his backpack.
Seeing that it was golden, Gong Xichao was slightly satisfied and nodded reservedly, "It's passable."
Obviously, he was very satisfied. Lu Cijiu said, "I changed mine too. Mine is black."
"Same?"
Lu Cijiu nodded, and seeing that Boss Diao had a slightly strange expression on his face, he hesitated and asked, "Do you mind if I have the same clothes as you?" He'd heard that wearing the same clothes would be unpleasant, but he'd never heard of having the same phone. Don't be too domineering, big guy.
"You can take it. I allow you to do so."
I couldn't wait to buy a couple's pair. Next time, will I...
Seeing Lu Cijiu's anxious expression, Gong Xichao seemed afraid he would refuse, so he kindly agreed. A couple's phone was fine, but Lu Cijiu couldn't even think of anything else. Gong Xichao was determined, holding the new phone and heading back inside.
Holding the new phone, Lu Bixiong said goodbye to the old: ???
So should we thank the Lord for His grace?
It's hard to change a guy's nature.
Two days later, the hot spring pool was repaired, and a cobblestone path was paved from the backyard to the pool and the vegetable garden. It was Y-shaped, connecting the vegetable garden on one side and the hot spring pool on the other.
There are thin bamboos planted next to the pond against the courtyard wall, with wooden pillars on both sides, which are said to be used to hang tents.
Anyway, it's a very thoughtful idea.
Lu Cijiu gave an extra 20,000 yuan when he settled the bill. "I made some money last time. I didn't expect Brother Wang to do so well. He even paved the road. This is what he deserves."
"Then I won't be polite. Thank you, Master Lu." Wang Hao saw that Master Lu was not the kind of person who would use tricks, and that he was sincere in what he said, so he took him down.
After seeing Wang Hao off, Lu Cijiu looked at the pool, waved his hand, and said impatiently, "Let's take a hot spring bath tonight. I'll go to the ice shop for fruit yogurt. There's no limit on snacks tonight."
"Wow! Chuchu is awesome."
"I love Chuchu the most."
The king's tail linked up with Dalong, Dudu and the kitten nodded with their eyes shining, and they could eat candy at night.
Only Gong Xichao next to him frowned slightly. He really shouldn't have been too indulgent towards Lu Cijiu.
First, I asked him to accompany me for a small matter.
Next is the couple’s phone.
I still want to take a bath with him now.
If we continue on this path, will we have to sleep in the same bed and under the same quilt?
"What are you thinking about? Is it too hot? Why is your face a little red?" Lu Cijiu asked with concern.
Gong Xichao immediately said in a cold voice: "What are you blushing about? I won't blush. I don't want to take a bath tonight."
After saying this, he walked away at a brisk pace, looking noble and cold.
Lu Cijiu: I’m tired of typing question marks and don’t want to type them anymore.
"Never mind uncle, let's just have our own fun." Lu Cijiu rubbed the kids' faces.
Anyway, sooner or later the arrogant big guy will not be able to hold back his excitement.
Dalong and the others now understand Uncle Gong and are not worried at all. They are just focused on the joy of having unlimited snacks and taking a bath in the evening. There is such a big pool.
Lu Cijiu prepared swimsuits for the kids in advance. After dinner in the afternoon, as soon as it got dark, the lights in the backyard were turned on, accompanied by the starry sky, the lush green vegetables in the vegetable garden, the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest next to it, and the water from the natural hot spring. It was a fairy-tale day!
The cubs were wearing little bathrobes, holding fruit snacks, and following behind Jiujiu.
There are also wooden racks for hanging robes.
"Sit on the first step." Lu Cijiu reminded.
The cubs splashed down like dumplings. As soon as the big dragon got into the water, it became happy. It dived into the water without any instruction and came out again, with the dragon horns on its forehead and scales all over its body exposed.
Yinglong is also called Huanglong.
So the big dragon's scales are yellow, because it is still small, and now it is just a tender yellow little dragon.
Very cute.
The water temperature is not particularly high, it is just the right temperature for a comfortable soak.
After a day of fatigue, lying down in it is especially refreshing, paired with yogurt and fruit. Lu Cijiu followed the children to soak in the hot spring, and Gong Xichao paced back and forth in the house. Finally, he couldn't help but leave the living room, but stopped his steps again.
We can no longer indulge Lu Cijiu.
Gong Xichao thought.
Lu Cijiu was humming a song and eating fruit, feeling so happy. Then he felt a vague gaze staring at him. Could it be something dirty?
The circle is very clean.
Could it be possible that I was mistaken? Lu Cijiu lowered his head to eat, then suddenly looked up towards the rooftop. A white piece of clothing swayed and flew past. Thinking of what it was, Lu Cijiu said: ...
I asked you to come and take a bath, but you refused. Instead, you secretly ran to the roof and watched us take a bath.
What a habit, big boy!
Gong Xichao, who got off the roof, felt a sudden cardiac arrest and felt somewhat annoyed.
Should be invisible.
Lu Cijiu probably didn't see it, right? He flew down so fast.
After soaking for a while, I took the puppies to take a shower and brush their teeth. They all looked white and rosy with rosy little faces. They got into bed. Lu Cijiu told them a bedtime story and rubbed them one by one as usual. Then he went back to the room in slippers.
Maybe because he had soaked in the hot springs at night, his blood was very hot and he was also sleepy. Lu Cijiu walked into the room and took off his bathrobe, leaving only his underwear. "Brother Gong is asleep, good night."
Throw yourself on the bed and wrap yourself in the quilt.
Gong Xichao sat on the bed, pretending to be calm while playing with his mobile phone. He wanted to see if Lu Cijiu had noticed him. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he did not look up. He insisted that Lu Cijiu speak first before he looked. As a result, he saw the shadow of a white, tender skin, straight and slender legs, a thin waist and a perky butt.
!!!
Lu Cijiu actually dressed like this on purpose to seduce him and get him to agree to take a bath together tomorrow.
This road is old!!!
There are too many routines.
It's just abominable.
Treacherous and cunning human beings!
Gong Xichao was angry and turned off the lights to hide his blushing face and pounding heart.
Two days later.
Lu Cijiu noticed that Diao Zong was acting awkward again. He couldn't figure it out, because he hadn't even bothered to expose his behavior of sneaking up to the room to watch everyone taking a bath that night!
The eldest boy really cares about his reputation.
Lu Cijiu thought, just pretend that there is no awkwardness.
It had been five days, and Lu Cijiu thought that the lawyer named Zhou Cheng would not come. However, around nine o'clock that morning, he received a WeChat message from Zhou Cheng saying that he had arrived and was at the intersection at the foot of the mountain, and was sorry to bother him.
Lu Ci's old memories came back to him. Thinking of the beast that Boss Diao judged was going to die, he quickly opened the door and went down the mountain.
A gray Audi Q5, an SUV, was parked at the intersection.
Lu Cijiu went down and saw Zhou Cheng taking something out of the trunk. It turned out to be a large suitcase. Suddenly???
"Excuse me, Mr. Lu."
Perhaps Lu Cijiu had too many question marks, and Zhou Cheng saw through them at a glance. He said with a hint of surprise, "Mr. Gong said he needs to stay here for two days to try it out. I'm really sorry. If it's disturbing, I can send Xiaohong over every day."
Then he put the luggage back.
Gong Xichao didn't mention it, so he probably forgot. He'd caught me peeping in on everyone taking a bath two days ago, and they were upset. So he said, "We have a room at the institute, but we haven't cleaned it or prepared the furniture yet. Come up first and talk to me later."
Perhaps because he knew that Zhe was a monster and could die if seriously injured, he not only did not abandon him, but also valued and cared for him personally. Lu Cijiu had a good impression of Mr. Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng took out the cat bag, and with a look of fatigue and worry on his handsome face, he said, "Xiaohong has been sleeping for a long time these days."
"It will be fine. Gong Xichao said he can be saved. It definitely can be saved." Lu Cijiu said seriously.
Normally, he'd joke around and complain about Boss Diao being childish, arrogant, and concerned about his reputation, but when it came to this kind of thing, Lu Cijiu trusted Gong Xichao. He'd said it would be fine.
Entered the courtyard.
Gong Xichao saw the cat bag in Zhou Cheng's hand and seemed to have just remembered, "You came quite quickly."
"Sorry for the trouble." Zhou Cheng opened the cat bag and took the cat out skillfully with one hand.
It was a red cub with leopard spots, round leopard ears, a hunched body, the size of a kitten, a horn in the middle of its forehead, and its eyes were weakly closed.
When Lu Cijiu saw Zeng for the first time, he didn’t expect it to be so furry like a kitten with round ears.
With a hint of envy, he said, "How cute."
When Gong Xichao heard this, he glared at Lu Cijiu.
"?" Lu Cijiu quickly reacted and opened his mouth, "Of course no matter how cute I am, I am not as cute as you, Brother Gong. No, you are majestic, shining with golden light, and extremely powerful."
Gong Xichao retracted his gaze and said calmly, "What you said is not even one ten-thousandth of the truth."
???
Lu Cijiu was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The arrogant and narcissistic elder didn't bother to argue with him and said, "Hurry up and show Mr. Zhou what happened to Xiaohong."
"I can't cure it." Gong Xichao said directly.
Lu Cijiu and Zhou Cheng were stunned.
"No, you said it can be cured, that's why Mr. Zhou brought Xiaohong here. Don't try to trick him." Lu Cijiu was anxious. The man had come from far away, and judging from his actions with the luggage just now, he might have even put off his work.
Saying it cannot be cured now is just a lie.
Gong Xichao: "Leaving Zhe here, there might be a chance of survival."
"He was struck by the Nine Heavens Thunder. If he survives, he will be a god. If he dies, the heavens will not tolerate him."
Lu Cijiu was anxious, "What about you?"
"I am from the ancient divine vein. Let the Heaven strike me down and see." Gong Xichao said arrogantly.
Lu Cijiu's expression was still not good, "And the cubs."
"So you're staying here." Gong Xichao glanced at Lu Cijiu, his eyes more serious than ever, thinking about something. Finally, he lost his patience and said in one breath, "That broken dragon gave the big dragon to you to raise. He must have noticed something. The four cubs are human-demon hybrids, and their bloodline is not pure. But after you came, the big dragon grew dragon horns and a tail, which means it's because of you."
Lu Cijiu: "Isn't it because of the feng shui here, or the dominant demon bloodline you mentioned, or maybe it's because of the nutritional requirements? I was clearly tricked into coming here by the ruthless Demon Management Bureau."
"The title deed is in your name." Gong Xichao said lightly.
The black-hearted demon management bureau spent all the money, but why did they leave such a large piece of land with the title deed to it to Lu Cijiu? And how could the name on the deed be changed so quickly? Wouldn't the process take days? Wouldn't they need to be there in person?
Unless a powerful demon had prepared in advance and signed a contract, the demons in the demon management bureau would not dare to touch it. They could only clumsily cast spells and set traps, circling the old man and jumping in.
So everything was arranged by Dalong's mother?
Lu Bijiu: ...
"So I'm the Chosen One?"
Gong Xichao glanced at Lu Cijiu, looked at him carefully, and concluded: "I can't see it. Give it a try." He said the last sentence to Zhou Cheng.
Zhe has already been sentenced to death, he can't get any worse.
Zhou Cheng didn't hesitate and agreed to stay and give it a try. He stroked Xiaohong's back and fur and said, "No matter what happens in the future, even if it's - I want to accompany him." The sadness on his face quickly disappeared, and he said calmly, "Mr. Lu, I will pay the rent. I'm sorry to bother you from now on."
"You're welcome. I don't know if it's true..." But I can only try. Lu Cijiu felt guilty.
He just talked about how he was the chosen one, but he was born an orphan and lived with his grandfather in poverty and hardship. I have never seen any other chosen one live like him.
If that were true, the family had no extra food that day.
Lu Cijiu glanced at Zhou Cheng. Although the other party had regained his composure and looked neither happy nor sad, he knew that he must be very distressed and worried about Xiaohong. Now he just hoped that this place with good feng shui would help Xiaohong recover from her injuries.
"You live on the east side. I'll clean it up. We don't have any furniture yet."
"I'll go buy it this afternoon. I'll take care of the cleaning. Thanks for your help, Mr. Lu." Zhou Cheng said politely.
Lu Cijiu said enthusiastically, "We'll be living together from now on, so don't call me Mr. Lu. You look older than me, so just call me Xiao Lu. I'll call you Brother Zhou? Brother Cheng?"
Gong Xichao came over at some point and said coldly, "Call me Zhou Cheng."
Lu Cijiu gave an awkward but polite smile.
"Just call me Zhou Cheng." Zhou Cheng said.
After Gong Xichao left, Lu Cijiu whispered, "He is naturally cold-faced, arrogant, and cares about face. If Brother Gong has a cold face here in the future, don't mind it. He is just like that, and I am used to it. Just treat him as a child."
"Okay, I don't mind."
Lu Cijiu heard the truth from Zhou Cheng. This man was just like his name, looking calm and composed, but he said what he said, as if he disdained to tell lies.
There are three rooms in the east wing, each of which is spacious and well-lit.
Zhou Cheng heard that Lu Cijiu lived in the main house, so he chose a wing room on the east side closest to the main house.
When Lu Cijiu saw this, he really hoped that Gong Xichao was right. No matter whether he was the chosen one or not, Zhou Cheng's Zhe must not die.
"Can you cook? If you don't mind eating together later, I'll make it for you."
"Okay, thank you. Then I'll give you the rent and food. Is 20,000 a month okay?"
Lu Cijiu waved his hand. "It really doesn't need that much. Five thousand a month, including your food expenses. If it's convenient for you, can you drive me to town to buy groceries? To be honest, I have my eyes on your car."
Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly and said, "Okay."
Mr. Lu seems easy to get along with.
Lu Cijiu: Hehe, it will be more convenient to buy groceries from now on! How clever!
