Chapter 841 Coming on the Moon
"Master Liu had all the pigs under his watch last night."
"But no one expected that those things retained human thinking. They found a way to open the door and escape."
“Most of them fled back home, and some fled into the mountains.”
"All those in the mountains have been captured, but those who escaped back home are hard to tell whether they are human or pig. All of them have been locked up."
"But there are a few households that slaughter pigs and smoke bacon overnight."
"As for whether it was a human or a pig being sent back, no one can tell." The guards whispered. They watched from afar and saw that the method of slaughtering the pig was extremely cruel.
They were almost skinned alive, and even they found it horrifying to watch.
But who can do anything when someone kills a pig?
"No, I won't eat it in this life..." Yuanjun's face turned pale. No wonder his father didn't eat any meat this morning.
I'm afraid I can only guess a little bit.
After many twists and turns, they finally left the village. When they stood on the official road again, Yuanjun couldn't hold back her tears.
I'm afraid she won't trust anyone anymore.
She was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Where's Lanzhi?"
"Lanzhi's mother is the descendant of a criminal. After she left the village, she met the lady and became her wet nurse."
"Lanzhi has actually been in contact with the village over the years."
"She is one of the main criminals in the village and is being held in solitary confinement. I'm afraid she will not escape death. However, she must be taken to the capital first." It is too horrifying for a mortal to turn into an animal, and we must investigate it.
Although, there is no clue.
Lu Chaochao put his hands in his pockets, hiding his achievements and fame.
This place is located in the southern part of Beizhao. Lu Chaochao felt familiar with every tree and blade of grass, as if he had been there before.
The Liu family had no mistress, so they only had a house with two entrances and two exits.
Besides, Lord Liu will only be sent away for a few years and will not stay here for long.
At this moment, all items in the mansion have been packed up, waiting to return to Beijing to report on work in three days.
"I am packing my luggage at home. I am sorry to trouble Sister Zhaoyang. When you come with me to Beijing, I will treat you well."
"Sister, do you have any relatives in the capital?" She knew that Lu Chaochao lived in seclusion in the mountains, and occasionally heard her say that someone was waiting for her in the capital.
Lu Chaochao looked towards the direction of the capital and placed his hand on his chest.
Her heart was beating strongly, someone was waiting for her.
She wants to visit the capital.
"They should be my family." A hint of tenderness appeared between her brows, adding a touch of worldly air to her seemingly lonely and cold figure.
Yuanjun always felt that although Sister Zhaoyang looked gentle, she was actually very aloof. There is also a kind of indifference that emanates from the bones.
Whether facing mountain goblins, villagers, or criminals being slaughtered like animals, he seems to not care.
I am indifferent to everything.
"We need to buy some clothes and jewelry tomorrow. A man is judged by his clothes, and a horse is judged by his saddles. We should respect the clothes first and then the person. There are many high-ranking officials in the capital, and my father is nothing in the capital."
She lived outside for a few more years, and she was afraid that she would be rejected by the girls from aristocratic families if she returned to Beijing.
Her mother died early, and her father was unwilling to remarry and contradicted her grandmother. Her mother passed away early, and she was not very close to her uncle's family. To be honest, she was still a little scared.
Yuanjun took her for a stroll around Yang'an City. Lu Chaochao seemed unfamiliar and curious about everything. Yuanjun was good-natured and was willing to accompany her for a stroll.
"What's over there?" Lu Chaochao pointed at the popular temple.
Yuanjun bowed to the temple from a distance and said, "That is the Temple of the Savior."
"You haven't been down the mountain for many years, so you probably don't know. It was the little savior who saved all living beings from danger. To commemorate her, the people built temples everywhere."
"Many people travel thousands of miles to Kunlun Mountain to pray for blessings. They bow every three steps and kowtow every nine steps. They are extremely pious."
“Countless people died on the road to pray for blessings, but more people who arrived gave up half of their luck in front of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, just to give it to the dissipated savior.”
Lu Chaochao pursed her lips as she looked at the temple, then was dragged by Yuanjun to try the delicacies of Yang'an City.
She liked earthly food very much, and Yuanjun even handed her a string of candied haws.
It was not until the evening that the servants followed them back to the house carrying large and small bags.
Lord Liu has returned to the mansion. The lights are on, as if a distinguished guest has arrived. When the two of them returned to their room, they happened to meet Lord Liu respectfully seeing off a young boy.
The boy looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with a slightly childish face, but he had a heavy sword on his back and looked quite serious.
"Dad, who was that person just now? Why did you treat me so politely?"
Lord Liu laughed softly and said, "This is the man from Chaoyang Sect who was born with a sword bone. Although he is young, his cultivation is extremely high. He is here to thoroughly investigate the matter of the mountain monster and the villagers."
Yuan Jun's eyes lit up: "I know, it's the youngest son of King Jingxi."
"The Jingxi Palace is really powerful. The eldest son became a Buddhist, and the youngest son was born with a sword bone, supporting the entire Chaoyang Sect."
Lord Liu shook his head: "I think, as a father, he doesn't want his children to live such a life."
The three realms are in chaos, the world is in chaos, and people with great powers must always shoulder more responsibilities.
No one knows when the sword hanging over their heads will fall.
"Dad only wishes you to live a safe and smooth life." When Lord Liu saw his daughter, he couldn't help but feel sad and thought of his deceased wife.
"I will be busy with handover matters these days. If Miss Zhaoyang needs anything, please feel free to tell the housekeeper in the mansion." Lord Liu looked at Lu Chaochao with a kind look. This child looked only a few years older than Yuanjun, but he had lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years. No wonder he was ignorant of many things.
When he heard that she had family in the capital, he made up his mind to look for them for her.
After Lord Liu left, Lu Chaochao returned to the guest room.
She stood by the window, quietly looking up at the sky, her eyes bright and beautiful.
"Aci..." She looked towards the distant sky and called softly.
She frowned, flicked her fingertips, and a glimmer of light shot up into the sky.
The world suddenly changed drastically, but in an instant, it returned to normal. So fast that no one even notices.
In the distance, it seemed like someone was walking on the moon.
He is only waiting for one person in this life.
The man has a slender figure, a handsome face, cool eyes and eyebrows, and he exudes a refined and elegant aura. He had always been restrained, but when he saw the girl in front of him, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but tremble.
The man, wearing a moon-colored robe, appeared in front of her and stared at her quietly. At this moment, it seemed as if they had traveled through thousands of years.
He opened his mouth, but found that his throat was blocked and he couldn't utter a word.
He just stared at her blankly, not daring to blink.
"Aci..." She called his name, and the man couldn't help but nodded slightly.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and gently touch her fair little face. The warm touch almost made him cry.
He quickly restrained himself and withdrew his hand, put it in his sleeve, and clenched his fist tightly.
I want to keep that warmth deep in my heart.
"Chao Chao, welcome to rebirth."
"No, welcome home," he murmured. This world has finally found its master.
