Chapter 488: Lu Yi Is Here

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Sheng did not know what an Emperor Ghost was, but from Chu Sihan’s explanation and Lu Zhou’s heavy expression, she could tell that this Emperor Ghost was definitely not simple.

Chu Sihan was shocked. “Uncle-Master Lu, you’re saying that the Emperor Ghost was released?”

“Yes.” Lu Zhou nodded. “However, my master is with the Emperor Ghost. It’s just that your side is more dangerous.”

There would be activities if they were human. Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan could not stay by their side forever.

Moreover, Xian Jing’s and Xian Ya’s whereabouts were unknown. No one knew where they were, so it would probably be impossible to guard against them.

.

“What should we do?” Lu Sheng frowned. “We can’t always live carefully, right?”

She was fine, but Chu Sihan was a magistrate after all. He had a lot of work to do. He could not stay in Liu Yue Village forever, right?

“That’s the only way now.”

Lu Zhou sighed softly. This was the best solution at present.

Shangguan Dian smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, little niece. Your Uncle King of Hades and I will find them.”

“Then… What are your plans next?” Chu Sihan asked.

The King of Hades said in a low voice, “Your mother, the Demon King, and I will find Xian Jing and Xian Ya. If you have nothing to do recently, don’t return to the Chu Mansion or Lin Jiang Mansion first.”

No matter how powerful Chu Sihan was, he was still young.

It was not impossible to deal with Xian Jing and Xian Ya. However, he would have to pay a huge price.

His son had not finished experiencing the love tribulation. If he was destroyed in the hands of Xian Jing and Xian Ya, all the calamities he had suffered previously would be in vain.

“Yes!”

Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “Then… Father, Mother, be careful!”

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Ying smiled. “Xian Jing and Xian Ya can’t do anything to us.”

Lu Sheng looked at them and said, “Uncles, Aunt Yan, you have to be careful!”

Xian Jing and Xian Ya were not scary. But what if that Emperor Ghost was with them?

Something that even her master was afraid of must not be simple.

The three of them nodded at the same time.

Shangguan Dian looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Ah Zhou, we’ll get going first.”

Lu Zhou nodded. After bidding the three of them farewell, he sent the three of them off with Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan.

In the following days, Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan did not go anywhere except for the vegetable field.

Of course, Lu Zhou would accompany them when they went to town occasionally.

During her free time, Lu Sheng planted a lot of vegetables.

At the Lu family’s restaurant, He Qin and He Lai would come over to pluck vegetables every two to three days.

“What’s in these jars?”

He Lai had entered this small bamboo house many times, but he did not know what was inside.

“Good question.”

Lu Sheng dusted off the sand in her hand and walked into the bamboo house.

“These are some pickled vegetables and chili that I marinated. If there’re empty carts today, leave two of them later and bring some back.”

Speaking of pickled vegetables, He Lai thought of the sour bamboo shoots Lu Sheng marinated some time ago and could not help but gulp.

“Are they sour bamboo shoots?” he asked.

“Not entirely.” Lu Sheng shook her head. “There’s also some other things.”

“Why don’t you take a bowl and fill it with pickled vegetables and chili for Uncle to try first?”

Ever since He Lai ate chili a few times, he had never disliked spicy food. He wanted to add spices to everything he ate.

“Let me try some too?”

The sudden voice scared He Lai.

He turned back and realized that Chu Sihan was already leaning against the door.

“Lord… Lord Chu, you’re here!”

Chu Sihan walked forward and patted his shoulder lightly. “Uncle, call me Sihan in the future. There are not so many rules at home.”

“No, I don’t dare to!”

Chu Sihan had always been his faith. Even though he was about to become his nephew-in-law, this could not erase Chu Sihan’s sacred status in his heart.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. This family always calls me by the Lord. Why stand on ceremony?”

When Chu Sihan said this, he specially glanced at Lu Sheng.

He Lai also looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was speechless.

She glanced at Chu Sihan and said to He Lai, “Uncle, there’s an open jar in the kitchen. I’ll get some for you to try.”

“Ah… Okay!”

He Lai laughed dryly at Chu Sihan and hurried after Lu Sheng.

After washing her hands, Lu Sheng brought over a bowl and used a pair of clean chopsticks to pick up half of the pickled vegetables and chili.

He Lai sniffed and swallowed his saliva from time to time.

“Uncle Lai, here!”

He Lai glanced at Chu Sihan and said to Lu Sheng softly, “Didn’t Lord Chu say that he wants to eat too? Give it to him first.”

Even if he was an elder, he could not go overboard in front of Chu Sihan, right?

“Lord is joking. He has food every day.”

Chu Sihan had been staying here recently. How could he not have eaten her pickled food?

“Sheng Sheng is right. I was joking. Uncle, don’t be reserved.”

Chu Sihan walked over and stood beside Lu Sheng.

“So you’re joking!”

He Lai smiled foolishly and reached out to receive it.

After eating the pickled vegetables, He Lai was still unsatisfied.

However, his past practice told him that if he continued eating, he could probably spend the day in the toilet.

“Lu Sheng, what did you plant again?”

After shopping in the vegetable field, He Qin pointed at something that had just sprouted not far away.

Lu Sheng walked out and smiled. “Over there? I planted peanuts and green beans, as well as cucumbers and flat beans.”

Indeed, it was difficult to find things he had seen before here.

He Qin nodded and continued, “Oh right, Lu Sheng, the mixed hotpots and small stoves you got someone to make are back. Your uncle asked you how to use them.”

“There’s no hurry. Let’s keep them first and use only in winter.”

Those were the hotpot tools she had gotten someone to make previously.

She had sunned a lot of dried chili peppers this year and made various types of chopped peppers and seasonings so that she could earn a lot in winter.

He Qin nodded. “Okay, I’ll tell him when I get back.”

“Lu Sheng, what’s this for?”

After He Lai placed the bowl down, he took out something from the kitchen and asked suspiciously.

He kept feeling that this thing was a little familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it before.

“These are pumpkin vines. I plucked them this morning.”

Seeing that the pumpkin vines were quite tender, she could not help but pinch them and prepare to fry them for lunch.

“What about this? Isn’t this grass?”

He Lai put down the pumpkin vines and raised another bunch.

He had seen this before on the mountain, but he thought it was grass, so he did not care.

“This is not grass. This is wild onions. Good stuff.”

She was free today and went for a walk with Chu Sihan on a nearby hill. She did not expect to find a field of wild onions.

In her previous life, her master loved to cook stir-fried meat with wild onions. She liked it too.

Coincidentally, there were a few pieces of cured meat at home. She would fry them with wild onions tonight.

He Lai clicked his tongue. “I didn’t expect these things to be edible. They are everywhere on the mountains in An Mu Village.”

“Oh?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Is there a lot?”

He Lai nodded. “A lot. No one eats them.”

“Can this really be eaten?” He Qin could not help but question.

He had eaten a lot of wild vegetables. This was the first time he heard that wild onions could be eaten.

“This is good stuff. I guarantee it’s edible!”

Lu Sheng’s red lips curved upwards. She looked at He Qin and He Lai and said, “Uncles, if there’s a lot, harvest them and sell them at the restaurant. The taste will definitely be fragrant.”

“Will… anyone eat this?” He Lai was very worried.

“Yes, why not? I’ve eaten it before.”

Lu Sheng pouted and looked at the two of them. “We can hire someone to pluck some every day and send them to the restaurant. If we can’t finish them, they’ll dry up.”

The weather was still hot now, and these things would not be fresh if they were kept for too long.

“Okay then.”

He Qin said, “I’ll get my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to pluck them.”

Duan Yu and Mdm Xia were responsible people. Although their sister, Duan Xiang, was married to the He family, they did not have the desire to take advantage of the He family.

Moreover, they were unwilling to take the money He Qin gave them. He Qin had no choice but to get Duan Xiang to buy them some food and clothes.

Lu Sheng nodded. “Then, I’ll leave this to you, Uncle.”

There were also some on the hill of Liu Yue Village. If there was a high demand, she would get the black clouds to pluck them in the middle of the night.

For the past few days, she could not travel far. She would either make pickled vegetables in the vegetable field or pluck chili to bask in the sun.

The innocent black clouds could only accompany her to do these everyday.

“Sheng Sheng, I’m hungry.”

Chu Sihan, who was ignored, spoke pitifully, trying to attract the girl’s attention.

“Are you hungry?”

Lu Sheng looked at him, then up at the sky. She mumbled, “It’s time to make lunch.”

She looked at Chu Sihan and said, “Sit with the two uncles for a while. I’ll go and cook now.”

When Chu Sihan heard that, he scanned the two of them indifferently.

He Lai’s and He Qin’s gazes tightened. They hurriedly found an excuse and walked to the vegetable field.

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.

Even if they were the girl’s uncles, they could not attract all her attention.

His life was too short. He could not let the girl’s gaze linger on others for too long.

Although they had moved back to their new house, everyone still ate lunch at the vegetable field.

Lu Sheng was agile. With Chu Sihan’s help, she made six dishes and a soup in an hour.

The dishes were all the same home-cooked dishes, but they were still extraordinarily delicious.

“The steamed fish slices are quite good today.”

During the meal, Lu Zhou tasted the steamed fish slices and nodded in satisfaction.

“Right?” Lu Sheng chuckled and gave Lu Zhou two slices. “If Master likes them, eat more.”

After giving Lu Zhou some, she gave Chu Sihan two slices.

When Chu Sihan’s indifferent face saw the two slices of steamed fish in his bowl, his thin lips curved upwards.

Lu Sheng saw his expression from the corner of her eye and could not help but purse her lips and smile.

“Uncles, eat more too!”

Lu Sheng gave the other two a piece each.

As He Qin and He Lai were in a hurry to rush to town, they left after taking a few mouthfuls.

Lan Yi was squatting at the side with a bowl. He fed Three Colors while eating. Halfway through, he suddenly stood up and stared at the door.

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Zhou looked at him suspiciously.

Lan Yi frowned slightly. “I feel a familiar aura approaching.”

“Familiar aura?”

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Whose aura?”

Lan Yi shook his head. “I don’t know, but I find it familiar.”

“Murderous aura?” Lu Zhou asked.

He shook his head. “No.”

Lu Zhou nodded. “Then he might be a friend.”

After a while, Liang Ping led a youth in green to the fence.

“Young Master, Lu Sheng is here.”

Liang Ping had just returned when he saw a young man loitering outside the Lu family.

He did not seem to have a good temper, but he did not seem like a bad person.

Thinking that it might be Lu Sheng’s or Chu Sihan’s friend, he went forward to ask.

When he heard that the person was here to find Lu Sheng, he knocked on the Lu family’s door a few times, but no one came to open it. He thought that Lu Sheng and the rest should be here.

“Thank you!”

Lu Yi untied his pouch and gave Liang Ping a few silver ingots, but he rejected him.

“No need, Young Master. I still have some matters to attend to at home, so I’ll take my leave first!”

Liang Ping cupped his hands at him and walked back.

Qing Yi stared at the silver in his hand and pouted. He hurriedly placed them back into his pouch.

He sized things up for a while before pushing the door open and entering.

“Lu Yi?!”

Lan Yi looked at the person in surprise.

He finally knew whose familiar aura it was.

“You’re… Lan Yi?”

Staring at Lan Yi, who was wearing a short combat shirt and holding a bowl, Lu Yi could not believe that the person in front of him was the cold and taciturn Lan Yi.

“Why are you here?”

Lan Yi did not answer his nonsense but asked the question he wanted to ask.

“Chunyu Dong asked you to come, right?”

Before Lu Yi could answer, Lu Zhou asked.

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Yi, but she did not forget to eat silently.

Chu Sihan picked up some dishes for her and glanced indifferently at Lu Yi before continuing to look at Lu Sheng’s face.

“Hah.”

Lu Yi snorted.

If Lu Zhou had not helped his master, he would not have bothered to reply.

Lu Zhou was used to his attitude.

“Why did you come here instead of helping him?”

“How can I not listen to Master’s orders?”

Lu Yi did not know why Chunyu Dong wanted him to come over. He only said that he wanted him to come over and help. He did not say anything else.

Lu Zhou narrowed his eyes and hurriedly stood up to say to Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan, “Go ahead and eat. I’ll be back soon.”

He suddenly had an ominous feeling. He had to ask Chunyu Dong some questions.

The duo nodded. After Lu Zhou walked away, Lu Sheng looked at Lu Yi and asked, “Do you want to sit down and eat together?”

Lu Yi glanced at the dishes on the table and shook his head.

He looked at Lan Yi disdainfully and frowned. “Why do you eat mortal food too?”

“Because it’s delicious.”

Lan Yi put down the bowl and took a stool for him to sit on. He asked in a deep voice, “Did Lord Chunyu really not say anything else to you?”

“No!”

Lu Yi shrugged. “He only told me to come and find you. He didn’t say anything else.”

“That’s strange.”

Lan Yi frowned. “Master and I are here. What is Lord Chunyu worried about?”

“I’m puzzled too.”

Lu Yi had just come down from the Five Peaks and was about to meet Chunyu Dong when Chunyu Dong suddenly contacted him with a Communications Talisman and told him to come to Liu Yue Village to find Lu Zhou and Lan Yi.
