Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

In Hefei, in the small bedroom shared by Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei in his uncle’s house.

After dinner, Lu Mingfei and Eiry were bored and leaned their heads together to watch the movie "Terminator" which Lu Mingze had downloaded before on the computer on Baofeng Video.

Actually, Lu Mingfei has watched this old movie many times, but he couldn't resist the look of the little girl shaking her shoulders and acting coquettishly, so he had to watch it with her, only occasionally looking out the window absent-mindedly.

My uncle's house is in an old residential area that is quite old and not closed. There is a tall ginkgo tree at the entrance of the unit. If you look up, the entire sky is covered with golden ginkgo leaves.

When the wind blew from the other side of the long street, the fallen leaves floated in the air like falling fragments of the sky.

In a trance, it seemed as if someone was walking on the road covered with ginkgo leaves. Lu Mingfei yawned and blinked, and saw clearly that it was not someone walking by, but a boy and a girl in school uniform riding bicycles, crushing fallen leaves and passing through the small window like the wind.

Even though they were far away, Lu Mingfei could still hear the boy telling some meaningless and lame jokes and the girl's suppressed giggles.

The light flashes and the shadows dance as spring goes and autumn comes. How many boys and girls like this have walked on this road.

Lu Mingfei suddenly thought that maybe at this moment, Caesar Christina or senior sister Fengel Eva were walking hand in hand in some corner he didn't know.

They are different from him. He is the one who is going to find his own tombstone, while Caesar and Finkel should have their own lives.

Maybe it was like that under a ginkgo tree, a man and a woman snuggled together and walked a long way, they didn’t say a word, but their hearts were peaceful. Maybe when they saw a stray puppy on the side of the road, they would think of that junior brother who had been on the run for a long time, just like Lu Mingfei thought of them?
It was said that Lu Mingze had kept the room very clean. There were no strange things hidden in the drawers or the compartments of the closet, or any discs that would be inconvenient for his uncle and aunt to see.

The little fat boy has grown up and will clean his room before leaving home.

Lu Mingfei had also seen a photo of his cousin, who had grown into a big fat boy now. The photo was hung in the living room. It was a photo of his uncle’s family at the University of Austin. His aunt had a proud look on her face, but she didn’t look like a mean person. Instead, she seemed to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Mingfei, your aunt and I are going to Shanghai to discuss business. We probably won't be back tonight or tomorrow." Uncle shouted outside, "There's sliced ​​pork belly in the refrigerator, braised pig's trotters in the pressure cooker, and the rice is ready in the rice cooker. I've also put just enough water next to it. When you cook lunch tomorrow, just pour the water in and press the switch."

"Okay, uncle, do you want me to drive you there?" Lu Mingfei shouted at the top of his voice.

"No need. I asked Xiao Yang to wait downstairs." Xiao Yang was the driver and follower hired by my uncle. He was tall, strong, broad-shouldered, and fierce-looking. He always held an extra-long black umbrella in his hand, making people feel that he would pull out a Thompson from the umbrella.

"Lu Gucheng still has some money. Where did you put it?" Aunt lowered her voice so that Lu Mingfei and Eri in the room could not hear it, but these two people had sharp ears, like two super radars.

"Ren Mingfei brought his girlfriend home. How could he go out to play without any money? You have to tell him where you put the money!" Aunt was still nagging.

Then my uncle's hearty laughter rang out.

"Also, Mingfei, I put some cash on the shoe cabinet for you. Now you kids will feel embarrassed to go out and play without money. Be generous when eating out with friends. Take it with you when you go out. If it's not enough, call me and I'll transfer the money to you."

Lu Mingfei was stunned and grinned.

"Okay, thank you uncle." He said, walking to the door in his slippers and watching his uncle and aunt leave.

"This kid, we're all family, why are we being so formal!" Aunt rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei, took her uncle's hand and looked at the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, "Oh, oh, we're going to be late, let's go back the old way!"

"Don't worry, Xiao Yang knows a shortcut..." The uncle put on his leather shoes and looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile on his face.
"Mingfei, if you want to get together with your high school classmates, you can go to our foot bath. There are plenty of crayfish!"

"Stop bragging about the place where your prostitute works. Let's go, let's go..." Aunt pulled uncle out.

"What do you mean by going to the sea to become a prostitute? Isn't it to give them a warm home?"...

The security door slammed shut in front of Lu Mingfei, and the quarreling couple gradually faded away until their voices faded away. The huge flat, which had been connected to the entire floor by his uncle, suddenly became silent, with only the background sound of Eri watching TV in the bedroom and the voices of the male and female protagonists talking.

The wind rustled the blinds, and the dim light caressed everything in this familiar yet strange home like a girl's tender hand. Lu Mingfei looked at the closed security door, and after a long time he sighed and went back to the bedroom in his slippers.

My uncle is really rich now. He has become the king of foot bath in Hefei. His chain stores stretch from the south to the north of the city. The province's first crayfish foot bath package has made my uncle earn a fortune.

The so-called crayfish foot bath package, of course, does not let you wash your feet in a wooden barrel full of crayfish. Instead, a dining table with sealed edges is placed in a hot water pool, and spicy crayfish are poured into it. Beer is placed on a floating platform and pushed to the guests by the waiters. There are also pretty girls who peel the lobster shells for you and give you a foot massage at the table.

As for whether the girl who is helping you peel the shells had rubbed the feet of another customer a few minutes ago, that is not a problem for Lu Mingfei to consider. I guess the big brothers who eat lobsters with their bare chests and drink beer from bottles don't care at all.

This time, my uncle and aunt went to Shanghai to expand their business in the big city. The man from the Lao Lu family was determined to open foot massage shops with all the waiters being pretty girls all over the country, and Shanghai was the first market he wanted to open up.

If you think about it this way, my uncle is considered a very influential figure in the business world. No matter if you are the CEO of Wanda or Tencent, you have to ask them to go wash their feet when you discuss business. Nowadays, all the regular foot massage shops in the city are owned by Lu Gucheng. Who would not give him some face when they enter that magnificent high-ceilinged hall?

At this time, the computer screen was showing Schwarzenegger driving a motorcycle with one hand and holding a short-barreled shotgun with the other, chasing a female robot on the road, and light and shadow flickered in the room.

Eiry blinked and raised her face to look at Lu Mingfei who was walking towards her. Lu Mingfei lowered his head to look at the girl's smooth forehead and thin, curly hair, reached out and gently stroked it, then smiled.

Eri also smiled, revealing her row of jade-like teeth.

The screen window was tied up and placed firmly against the wall. The wind blew the fallen leaves into the room. Some fell on the table, some on the floor, and some on Eri's head.

Lu Mingfei brushed away the fallen leaves on her head, touched Huili's soft earlobe, and felt a slightly cold and delicate pendant.

Eiry pouted her lips and stared at Lu Mingfei with wide eyes, making a humming sound through her nose.

There was a silver four-leaf clover hanging at the end of the pendant.

Nuonuo put it on Eri before they parted, saying that whenever Lu Mingfei saw the earrings, he would think of her, so that even if they were far away, they would always miss each other. Seeing Eri did remind Lu Mingfei of his senior sister, and even though they had been together for such a long time, he sometimes still couldn't tell who was who.

"Let's go out and see Aunt Su. My senior brother once told me that if he died in a corner where no one knew about it, the person he would miss the most would be his mother." Lu Mingfei put on a thin coat while speaking. It was not too cold in Hefei during the day in early autumn, but once the sun went down and the evening breeze started to blow, men in short sleeves would shiver and get goose bumps on their arms even if they were very angry.

When Eri heard that she could go out, her eyes started to sparkle. Like a restless little fox, she wrapped herself in pajamas, revealing her slender white calves and ankles, and jumped onto the double bed that her uncle had just bought, which was against the wall in the room.

“Turn around and don’t peek!” The little girl knelt on the messy quilt, her two small pink feet spread out, her slender white hands supporting her body forward, baring her teeth and making a face to threaten Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei raised his hands, shrugged his shoulders and turned his back.

The canary kept in the cage by Sheqi Bajia was finally free. She soon realized that she was a young girl with a pretty face, a good figure and a good personality, and she had enough capital to act coquettishly and play funny with the boy she liked.

Lu Mingfei put Bluetooth headphones in his ears and listened to music. The song playing on his phone was actually a child's version of "Gardenia Blossoms". The tune was melodious and plain, yet inexplicably sad.

He actually didn't really want to visit Aunt Su. Lu Mingfei hadn't figured out how to explain to his senior brother's family why he hadn't been heard from for all these days.

It was just that he felt a little bored after staying at home for so long, so he wanted to go out for a walk. Moreover, this peaceful time might not last long, as the hounds of the academy would soon find out that they had never gone north, but had come directly to the south of China, and then there would be groups of beheaders...

I may soon have to live a precarious life again. It is time to take advantage of the rare free time to go and see the woman who is described as a little childish by my senior brother.

After a long while, Eri's voice came from behind. She said in a somewhat cheerful tone, "Okay."

"Then I'll turn around." Lu Mingfei said. At this time, the night was getting darker, and the dim yellow light shone through the leaves and branches of the ginkgo trees, making mottled patterns like thin layers of gold scattered on the desk.

When Lu Mingfei turned around, the little girl was standing in front of him with her hands behind her back, her body slightly leaning forward, her body well-proportioned and well-proportioned. Her slender neck and beautiful collarbone seemed to flow like a bright stream under the light from the computer screen, and the faint scent of sandalwood emanated from her soft long hair.

Eri squinted her eyes and smiled faintly, with faint dimples at the corners of her mouth.

This is probably the only difference between her and Nono. Nono is bold and unrestrained when she laughs, as if she was also one of those girls who were so ambitious that they could eat the flesh of the barbarians when they were hungry and drink the blood of the Huns when they were thirsty. However, Eri's smile is gentle and restrained, which reminds people of those girls who lived in seclusion in ancient times.

"Does it look good?" Eiry stretched out her scallion-white fingers and tapped Lu Mingfei's forehead. Lu Mingfei touched his nose and cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment at the moment.

She wore a dark, thin sweater, a pleated short skirt, and black satin socks that just reached below her knees. On her feet were small, custom-made, shiny leather shoes that she had brought back from Genji Heavy Industries.

Eri was spinning in front of Lu Mingfei like a ballerina, her translucent skirt dancing like a blooming flower, and her slender thighs were pure white in the floating light.

"You're very beautiful. I wonder how many men will be unable to take their eyes off you when you walk down the street." Lu Mingfei scratched the bridge of Eri's nose, and pulled off a huge men's baseball cap from the clothesline and put it on the girl's head.

The shadow of the hat brim easily covered her beautiful eyes. Eri did not resist, but raised her eyes from the shadow to look at Lu Mingfei's face.

"Just put on a mask and no one will recognize us." Lu Mingfei shrugged and walked out with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Eri trotted after him, hugged the man's arm carelessly, and swayed from side to side like a koala.

"I want to go to my uncle's shop to eat spicy crayfish." Eri said, her voice soft and crisp as if it came from her nose.

Eri looks a little silly, but in Lu Mingfei's opinion, she is actually very wise and always able to find ways to control him.

For example, now, as long as she acts coquettishly, she can get Lu Mingfei to buy her anything she wants to eat.

"You can't eat too spicy food, or you'll get pimples on your face." He sighed.

"I know, I know. I'll only eat a little." Eiry made a little gesture with her index finger and thumb, and put the tiny gap in front of her eyes and looked at Lu Mingfei through it.

Sure enough, there were banknotes left by my uncle on the shoe cabinet. They were all round bills, dozens of them.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he recalled how his uncle only gave him a little more when he asked him to run errands to buy soy sauce.

There was a black and white kitten squatting at the door of the unit. It looked very clean and was probably left here by its mother.

Lu Mingfei picked it up, and the beast lay docilely in his arms, wiping its face with its paws, as if it was going to sleep.

"It's a kitten! My brother didn't allow me to have a pet before!" Eri was very excited.

She reached out and picked up the kitten, scratching its chin. The kitten meowed and dodged left and right restlessly.

Eiry squatted down again and held up its two hind legs. The kitten had to support itself with its two front legs on the ground, so that even if it wanted to scratch the human behind it, it couldn't do it.

When Eri pushed it forward, it took a few steps forward. When she pulled it back, it retreated in panic, just like a cart.

Eiry laughed softly, found some beef jerky in her purse, tore it apart and fed it to the kitten. The kitten took this opportunity to kick its hind legs, broke free from Eiry's grasp, holding the beef jerky in its mouth, and ran across the long street.

Eiry screamed and wanted to chase after it, but Lu Mingfei grabbed her hand. At this time, only a small black and white silhouette of the kitten was left.

Another large black and white figure jumped out from the shadow of a ginkgo tree. It and the kitten licked each other's fur. The kitten crawled under the big cat's belly to suck a few sips of milk, then ran away happily. The big cat followed behind like an elegant woman. The two shadows staggered into the dim street lamp, then crawled into the shadow where the light could not reach, and finally disappeared.

"That's great." Eri said.

Lu Mingfei patted her head and said nothing. (End of this chapter)
