Chapter 51: Boast
The confused and solemn expression on his face made Shang Wan laugh out loud.
This guy used to help Lu Chengjing run errands, so how could he have done such heavy work? It would probably take two of him to barely move the wood.
Shitou's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and he secretly made up his mind to exercise more in the future, build up his strength, and help his family.
After laughing, Shang Wan was also thinking about improving the fighting power of her family members. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't protect everyone all the time. Only when one's own abilities were strong could one be truly strong.
Let’s start by strengthening our physical fitness. Lingquan water is a good thing and we must use it.
Lu Chengjing slowly opened his eyes when he heard Shang Wan's laughter. He felt as if there was something in his arms, so he reached out to touch it and took out a familiar jade pendant.
The white fingertips stroked the smooth edge of the jade pendant. Lu Chengjing's eyes were heavy. His fingertips loosened and the jade pendant fell straight down.
"Don't throw it away if you don't want it." The fallen jade pendant landed in Shang Wan's hands. "It's quite beautiful. It could be worth a lot of money if you pawn it."
Lu Chengjing sat up. Because he had just woken up, his originally clear and smooth voice was a little hoarse. "Then I'll take it."
Shang Wan shook the jade pendant at him, "Don't you like it very much? Do you really not want it anymore?"
"I don't like it now." Lu Chengjing raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, his tone was a little firm, "I don't want it."
"Okay." Shang Wan put the jade pendant away. "I'll go to the city to pawn it tomorrow to buy some new house for us."
I don’t know which word made Lu Chengjing happy. A faint smile appeared on his sleepy face, which dazzled Shang Wan’s eyes.
Shang Wan stretched out his hand and stroked the corner of the person's lips in front of him, demanding, "Smile again."
Lu Chengjing:?
Shang Wan urged, "Hurry up, I want to see it."
Young Master Lu was forced to smile, and Shang Wan expressed his satisfaction.
She casually hooked the pointed chin of the person in front of her and told her what Li Dashan asked her to ask.
"The villagers want you to help with the accounting. If you're willing, I'll give you two points. I didn't agree on your behalf, but if you're willing to help, ask Shitou to go and tell the villagers."
Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes and looked at his right hand, which still had no feeling at all, without saying a word.
Shang Wan grabbed his right hand and rubbed the pink scar on his wrist with his slender white fingertips.
"The scar will disappear in two days. Your body is weak, so your recovery will be slower. You'll need rehabilitation after your tendons have healed. It will take at least two months to fully recover your previous flexibility. There's no rush."
"It's a blessing that you can recover." Lu Chengjing made some space to the side, and Shang Wan sat down, put his arm around his thin wrist, and glanced at the equally thin waist and abdomen of the person next to him, secretly thinking about how to make the person fatter.
Now it's all bones, and it's too uncomfortable to hug me while sleeping.
Realizing his thoughts had strayed, Shang Wan quickly pulled himself back and coughed lightly, "Well, although I think your left-handed handwriting is pretty good, if you don't want to help, then don't go. Our family doesn't need that much. Just take good care of it. I'm here at home."
Lu Chengjing tilted his head to look at the person beside him, his eyes serious and with a hint of inquiry, "You and I are not related, why are you treating me so well?"
Shang Wan said without thinking: "Because you are good-looking."
Patients with advanced face control said, isn’t it normal to be attracted by beauty?
Lu Chengjing was silent for a moment and asked, "Besides appearance?"
"Hmm..." Shang Wan thought seriously for a moment and said decisively, "It's fun to tease."
Lu Chengjing: "..."
He shouldn't have asked!
"I'm willing to help." After saying this, Lu Chengjing lay down again, turning sideways to the other side.
Shang Wan:?
A good-looking appearance and an interesting soul are all compliments. Why are you suddenly angry?
"Turn around." Shang Wan poked Lu Chengjing's back and threatened, "Or I'll pull your hair."
Will Lu Chengjing be threatened by such elementary school tricks?
Won't!
He turned around slowly, stared at Shang Wan's hand on his long hair, pursed his pale lips and said nothing.
Although her face was expressionless, Shang Wan could see the angry expression on this pretty face. She couldn't help but pinch it and said with a smile, "I was just praising you, why are you angry?"
Lu Chengjing ignored the hand that was messing with his face. He looked up at her for a long moment, suppressing the pent-up feeling in his chest and uttered two words, "A big compliment."
Shang Wan let out a light sigh. This guy was spoiled, and he even asked for more.
Looking at Lu Chengjing's pleasing face, Shang Wan rolled her eyes, bent down and leaned close to his ear and said, "Cute, I want to kiss you."
When Lu Chengjing heard the last word, his originally pale face turned red as the sunset glow in the sky, and even his eyes became dull.
Shang Wan suppressed his laughter and asked quietly, "Do you want me to continue praising you?"
Lu Chengjing turned his head and expressed his refusal with his red ears.
Shang Wan laughed out loud, it was really fun to tease him.
She reached out and smoothed Lu Chengjing's long black hair, covering his red ears. "I'll ask Shitou to tell the villagers. I think more and more people will be coming. I'll go get some writing brushes and ink for you."
She stood up and left. The person lying motionless turned his head slightly and glanced at her back through the gap. The heat on his face that had finally subsided began to return.
Yuanyuan crawled over with the little turtle on her little head, wanting her father to be the referee of the crawling competition, but ended up seeing a big red face.
The little guy blinked his eyes, twisted his butt, and crawled back the same way.
Let’s ask Aunt Xiaohuan to be the referee.
Shitou ran to inform the villagers. Shang Wan prepared pen and ink for Lu Chengjing, set up a temporary small table, and continued to move the tree.
After the kitchen was cleaned up, the stove would be ready for use. Xiaohuan looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so she took some things and started to light the fire and cook.
As soon as the referee left, Yuanyuan and the little turtle's crawling competition ended. She crawled back to her daddy and raised her cute little face, "Daddy! Listen!"
This means listening to the story.
Lu Chengjing practiced writing with his left hand while telling stories to his daughter.
Life was peaceful here, but the Lin family was in turmoil because they couldn't find Tiedan.
After Lin Jianshan sent Liu to the Yuan family, he was thinking about the thirty taels of silver, so he asked Zhou to take care of the two elders and ran back to the Lin family.
He originally wanted to take the silver back from Tiedan and then give him a meal.
He can't even handle such a small thing, and has embarrassed his father so much. He deserves a few spankings as a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Tiedan was not at the Lin family. Only Erya was lying in the house to rest because she had hit her head in the earthquake.
Lin Jianshan went out to look for someone while cursing. His desire to teach his son a lesson reached its peak at this moment.
But he asked all the kids who usually played with Tiedan, but no one had seen Tiedan, let alone knew where Tiedan had gone.
Lin Jianshan suddenly remembered the red cloth he dug out from Lu's house. He felt panic for no reason and hurried to the places where Tiedan often played to look for him. He even looked by the river, but there was no trace of Tiedan.
Lin Jianshan was completely panicked now. He only had one son, Tiedan. Where did that child go?
