Brass Dragon in the Dragon World

Chapter 27 The Lu Family
There are many mountains in Minzhou, and the Lu family has survived from the hands of the Qing Dynasty by relying on the continuous mountains of Minzhou.

Ander and his party walked on the muddy dirt road, the yellow muddy water splashed, staining Angers' shiny black leather shoes with yellow scars.

The atmosphere in the team was a bit serious. Angers was holding a small box and wearing a very formal suit, as if he was going to a funeral.

Anger didn't know how to speak, and announced the bad news to Lu Shanyan's family.

In Anger's imagination, he would appear in Lu's house like a ghost, and then say to Lu Shanyan's widow:
"Your husband was killed in the process of slaying the dragon. This is his relic. Please mourn."

Amid the cries of the woman and the child, Angers handed out the small box containing Lu Shanyan's clothes, announcing the bad news to the poor woman.

It sounds ironic that a hero can only be buried in a foreign country after his death.

Angers hadn't experienced too much life and death at this time, and he still felt a little confused in the face of such things.

Ender obviously relaxed a lot. He seemed to be walking, but actually secretly used a floating technique to keep his shoes from touching the ground, so that he would not be soiled by the mud on the ground.

Since he walked in the front, the few people behind did not notice the strangeness of Ender.

Although Ander also wanted to say a few words out loud, but such a solemn atmosphere made him unable to speak.

The Lu family is located in the outskirts of Minzhou. It is a house with gray tiles and white walls, which has the ancient charm of southern architecture.

The house doesn't look big, but it's obvious someone has taken good care of it.

He walked forward with high spirits, and lightly knocked on the door knocker twice.

Ander was behind, using the tricks of a mage to wipe off the muddy water on Angers' body.

Not long after the door opened, a young woman poked her head out.

The woman looked to be in her twenties, wearing a plain dress with wide cuffs covering her slender limbs.

The hair is combed together into a bun and secured with a simple wooden hairpin.

The woman stared at Angers' distinctive face with some vigilance. At this time, foreigners don't have a good reputation.

"Dare to ask..."

Anger interrupted the young woman's inquiry, and said in a mechanical tone and substandard Chinese dialect:

"Is this Mrs. Lu? I'm Hilbert Jean Angers. I'm here to send Mr. Lu Shanyan home."

Ange had thought about this kind of time many times, but when this moment really came, he could only read his lines like a robot, without even showing a single expression on his face.

This looks cold-blooded, but it can make Angers more comfortable.

The woman in front of her trembled, staring at the small box in front of Angers for a long time before taking the box and holding it tightly in her hands.

"My concubine is the Lu family, please come in..."

Lu Shi looked expressionless, as if he didn't feel anything about his husband's death, so he led Ander and the others to the main hall to sit down, and bowed to them.

"I'm going to do some housework, please wait here."

Lu Shi went to the back of the house, the four of them waited on the seats for a long time, but they didn't see Lu Shi coming back, Ender was a little anxious.

A faint cry came from behind the house. Lu Shi was not as calm as he seemed, but he didn't show it in front of outsiders like them.

Ender was fidgeting on the wooden chair, couldn't help standing up, and wanted to go to the backyard to find out, but Ange held the dragon desperately.

It was another period of unbearable silence. It was naturally impossible for Ander to chat with others in this atmosphere. Perhaps the brothers and sisters of the Chu family were feeling a little depressed because of the situation.

As for Angers, he was like a sculpture from the moment he sat on the chair, staring motionlessly at the beam above, as if he wanted to see flowers from this piece of wood.

Lu Shi finally came back. She lowered her head, walked a little unsteadily, and sat down on the main seat tremblingly. After a while, she asked:
"Sanggong, he was fine before, what happened?"

Ander pushed Angers who seemed to be in a daze, and told him to answer Madam Lu's question quickly.

Ange finally came to his senses and began to tell the story that he didn't want to recall at all.

The "Lizard Bone" from China, the awakened Dragon King, the bloody Lu Shanyan, and Kassel who used Rhine to die with the Dragon King.

The story is absurd, because of the improper operation of an ordinary doctor, the Dragon King was revived.

This story is very great. In order to kill the Dragon King, the half-breed species of the secret party sacrificed like moths to the flame.

Angers was actually thinking about the situation at that time, just like what Ender said, the secret party was self-inflicted, an imperfect system, a group of people who only knew how to fight, and finally caused serious consequences.

In Angers' narration, the story ends with Menech Cassel's speech: Rhine, while Lu Shi on the side raises his own question:
"Then why are you okay?"

Angers' state at this time is indeed not like a person who was dying. What is more painful than the death of his own relatives is seeing his comrades who fought with him standing in front of you intact. At that time, you will only have one thought:
Why are you alive and not him!

Angers looked at Ander next to him, and replied:
"I fell into a coma after the explosion. It was Ander who saved me. He said that he was an overseas branch of the Lu family and was invited by Lu Shanyan to join the secret party. But when he arrived at the Kassel Manor, he saw only ruins And me who is dying."

Mrs. Lu stared at the young Ander for a long time before asking:
"Dare to ask which branch of the Lu family it is, but it has been included in the genealogy."

Ander immediately came to the spirit and replied:

"A branch that went to Nanyang a hundred years ago, if counted by seniority, I'm still Lu Boping's uncle."

Mrs. Lu took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to Ander.

"Uncle escorted my grandfather's relics back to his hometown, which should be included in the genealogy, please follow me."

Ander saw that something was wrong with Mrs. Lu, but he still followed her and walked towards the back of the house together.

The ancestral hall of the Lu family is not jointly owned by a village like many places, but a separate hut, which is filled with tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family.

Mrs. Lu picked up three sticks of incense and handed them to Ander, then lit the incense with a fire pocket beside her, and said:
"When the children of the Lu family return to their ancestors, they should burn incense for their ancestors."

Ander was not entangled in this kind of thing, whether he could get the godhead in the future would depend on the Lu family, so he immediately bowed three times to the tablet, and put the incense on the incense burner.

Just as Ander was bowing, Mrs. Lu closed the gate of the ancestral hall, took out a pistol from her skirt and pointed it at Ander.

"Mrs. Lu, do you still know how to use a gun?"

Ander looked at Mrs. Lu who was pointing a gun at him, but Mrs. Lu obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with him.

"The Lu family has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is no overseas branch at all."

Ender spread his hands and said:
"Why are you pointing a gun at me?"

"Because you are a good person, bad people will not do such things."

"Good people have to be pointed at by guns? Mrs. Lu, let's talk."
