Manor Romance

Chapter 15
Seeing that Lu Ci agreed to help, Yun Li breathed a sigh of relief, took out two keys from his trouser pocket, handed them to Lu Ci, and explained: "There are some small potted plants on the balcony on the second floor of the bamboo building, and there are other keys on the west side of the third floor. On the small balcony, some seeds are drying, if it is windy and rainy, help me put them in the house."

"No problem, I will remember." Lu Ci took the key and assured Yunli.The stairs of Yunli's bamboo building are built on the outside, and the second and third floors are not connected inside, so there is a locked door on the second and third floors.

After explaining the matter, Yun Li could finally feel at ease, and looked back to see if there was anything missing. After thinking about it, he forgot one important thing, and quickly said to Lu Ci: "I almost left the last I forgot the important thing, I will advance your wages to you first, and it will still be calculated according to the original amount, if I delay my return, I will make it up at that time."

"Let's give it later. Don't teachers like to give prizes to students based on their grades? When you come back, give me a score for my work, and then calculate the salary. How about it, Teacher Yun?" Lu Ci proposed. Suggestion, by the way, teased Yunli a bit.

Now that Lu Ci spoke, Yunli naturally had no objection. After getting in touch with her a lot, Yunli found that she was a very funny person, careful in doing things, understanding, rational yet emotional, very different from her cold appearance.If she hadn't been dragged down by the family who adopted her, she would have a bright future and a stage for her to shine.

"Ah Ci, is it your boyfriend who came to look for you?" While Yun Li was feeling emotional, a female voice suddenly came from behind him. Looking sideways, a young woman appeared from the window behind him at some point, with a combed hair. With a long ponytail, he waved to the two with a smile on his face and said.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is the boss of the place where I went to work part-time." Lu Ci quickly explained, gesturing to tell the young woman not to talk nonsense, lest other people hear it and cause any misunderstanding.

But things backfired, and soon two more people poked their heads out of the window, looking at the two of them with mocking expressions on their faces.Unlike Lu Ci, Yun Li didn't care about their teasing at all, he focused all his attention on the faces of the three of them, and after careful consideration, he suddenly realized.

If there were any flaws in Lu Ci's appearance, Yun Li's first thought would be those faint red spots on her face, although they were not very obvious, they did make her delicate face look pale.

After observing, Yun Li found that the faces of the three people had the same red spots as Lu Ci's, especially the ponytail girl.In the past, Yunli always thought that those on Lu Ci's face were freckles, but he didn't know it was frostbite until now!
It is not difficult to understand that they work in the refrigerator for a long time, and even the best clothes cannot protect every part of the body.If you want to gain something, you have to make a choice. For the sake of living, Lu Ci made her choice, and others have no right to discuss it, but in Yunli's view, this is like cutting a few knives on his purple bamboo wind chimes. This is not a pity. It's a tragedy.

Mr. Lu Xun once said that tragedy is to destroy good things for others to see. Until now, standing in front of Lu Ci, Yun Li has truly realized the essence of this sentence and the ruthlessness contained in philosophy.

"Don't be angry, Shen Hong is like this, she doesn't hold back her words, but she doesn't mean anything malicious." Seeing that Yun Li was silent, frowning tightly, and his face was not very good-looking, Lu Ci immediately explained.

"Huh?. I'm fine. I'm just joking. Don't take it so seriously, hehe. Hey, how are you!" When Yun Li came back to his senses, he realized that Lu Ci had misunderstood him. Angry, he smiled and greeted the three people over the window.

"Fool, I don't know what I've been thinking all day." Seeing Yun Li's foolish smile, Lu Ci was both amused and angry, and muttered in a voice that only she could hear.

The closer it was to noon, the faster the temperature rose. Lu Ci came out in a hurry. In a short time, his body had to bear the impact of two opposing environments, cold and hot, which made the red frostbite on his face more obvious.

"It's hard work!" Yun Li said abruptly after recovering, leaving Lu Ci at a loss as to how to answer it. In this situation, it's like one day when the teacher came to ask questions when his grades were poor, and he knew the reason There are many, but I just can't answer any of them.

When she was very young, she knew that she was the adopted daughter of that family and who her biological parents were. She asked, but there was no result.After she became sensible, she also checked her own background, but she still found nothing. Gradually, she accepted the fact that she was an orphan.

The Lu family that adopted her was a big merchant before the accident. The family had a prosperous branch and a wide range of businesses. The one that was placed here in Lu Town was just a small branch, and the person who adopted Lu Ci was the person in charge of this small branch.

Due to the family business, they often have to move and move. In Lu Ci's memory, they have never stayed in the same place for more than three years. to domestic development.Before the incident was discovered, they had settled in Luzhen for almost three years, and were about to move to other places, but ended up fleeing in all directions.

Lu Ci doesn't know much about the business in the family, but what is certain is that their family enjoys a lot in border trade and transportation, and they often have contacts in gray areas. Lu Ci guesses that they are likely to fall into this pit .

The reason why the Lu family adopted Lu Ci was because they were entrusted by someone named Mo Lao to entrust Lu Ci, who was still a baby, to the Lu family to raise him.When Lu Ci was young, he had seen this old Mo several times. After moving back to China, he hadn’t seen him again. Lu Ci’s impression of him was very vague, but this old Mo was the only clue to find her life experience. .

After the accident in the Lu family, Lu Ci lost all contact with their family. She knew very well that she was an outsider to the Lu family, and the Lu family did not treat her well in the past, but she still remembered the kindness of nurturing her over the years. , never forgotten.

Asked if it was hard work, of course she was hard work, but she couldn't say a word about these grievances.Lu Ci knew very well that if she became weak at this time, her life would completely turn into a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this question." When he asked, Yun Li knew that he had made a fool of himself, seeing Lu Ci's unnatural expression, he regretted it even more, and immediately apologized.

"When are you leaving?" Lu Ci didn't answer directly, but instead asked, it seemed that she didn't mind Yunli's abruptness.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm in a hurry to come out. I haven't packed my luggage yet." Yun Li replied with a smile.

"Then write down the phone number too. If there's anything, I'll try to let you know as soon as possible." Lu Ci handed over the small notebook in his hand, and Yun Xin understood it, and wrote down his phone number on the title page.

"Then be careful all the way, we still have a batch of goods to move later, I'm going back." Closing the notebook, Lu Ci smiled lightly, turned around and walked back to the shop, and Yun Li didn't say much. Make a stop, ride on the car and return to Xiaolu Mountain.

There is no train station in Linshan County, so Yunli took several buses before arriving at a nearby city and boarding the train home.

Yunli's home is on the eastern coast, a city with a long history and full of modern atmosphere, which is also known as the southern gate of the motherland, and Yunli's current university is also in this city.

When I arrived at the station, it was already noon the next day. As soon as I got out of the station, taxi drivers kept coming to ask where to go. Yun Li’s home is not very far from the train station, so I chose a taxi driver at random. Take a taxi directly to go back, so you don't have to worry about changing cars.

Cars are not allowed to park within the station, so Yunli put his backpack on his back, followed the taxi driver, and walked to the car parking area.The taxi driver was very talkative. He looked like he was in his fifties. He thought Yunli was a tourist from other places, so he kept introducing him to good places to visit in the city.

It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days. The buildings in and around the station have been decorated with red lanterns, colorful flags, etc., which are very festive. You can also feel the strong festival from the smiling faces of people. atmosphere.

Although he was in this city when he went to university, Yunli hadn't been home for more than a year. This time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again, which made him a little excited, so he took out his phone and planned to notify him in advance.But just when he was about to dial the number, the taxi driver next to him screamed, and Yun Li realized that the backpack behind him was moved, and turned around quickly, only to see a man wearing a peaked cap running away in panic. quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Handsome guy, don't worry about playing with your phone, pay attention to the safety of your belongings, especially at this time, there are a lot of thieves here." After scaring the thief away with a sound, the taxi driver advised Yunli, he can I don't want to let this hard-won business go to waste because of this.

"Come on, my car is here, handsome guy?" The taxi driver walked a long way, only to find that Yunli was still standing there, thinking to himself that he was scared, so he went back to remind him .

Of course Yunli wasn't frightened by the thief, but he was frightened by himself.He possesses electromagnetic force, and his facial perception ability is far superior to that of ordinary people. Usually, let alone touching things from him, even if there is a distance, no disturbance can escape his induction. But this time, he was touched It's quite abnormal to not notice anything behind you.

"Handsome guy, are you okay?" The taxi driver walked up to Yunli and asked, patting him on the shoulder.

"I..." Suddenly, Yunli's feeling became extremely sluggish. The taxi driver's hand slapped him, as if hanging in the air, changing from one to two, and then to four, slowly forming a large The net pressed against him, covering his sight.

"Impossible, it's obviously not here yet." Before losing consciousness, Yun Li was stunned and murmured, but his brain couldn't give him more support, only the voices of the taxi driver and the onlookers could be faintly heard. .

"Hey, hey, come and help, someone has fainted!"

"Hurry up and call an ambulance, it can't be heatstroke."

"First carry him to the station, where there are mobile doctors on duty."

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way, get out of the way!"
