Chapter 007: Served as a Headmaster
Chen Duo immediately ran out to open the door.
After a while, Chen Duo came in with a group of people. Leading the way was a middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows, broad nose and dignified appearance. Judging from his age, he should be Kang Lu's father, Kang Wenlong.
There was a young man following behind him, who shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Where's my cousin? Where's my cousin?"
In addition to the two of them, there were two women carrying medicine boxes, obviously the doctors brought by Kang Wenlong.
Kang Wenlong went up to check on his daughter. Seeing that her breathing was stable and she had no major injuries, he felt relieved. He asked the two female doctors to check on her. Then he smiled and nodded at Chen Duo and Xu Lai and said, "Thank you for your help. Let's go to the living room to talk."
The group sat down in the living room.
Kang Wenlong thanked him again and again. Xu Lai just smiled. Chen Duo felt a little embarrassed and just said that they were all classmates and it was only natural.
"What on earth is going on?" Kang Wenlong asked seriously. He loved his precious daughter the most, and his hands were shaking when he received the call.
Chen Duo thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Kang, I wonder if you have heard about the incident in Zijin Garden more than half a month ago. Three young girls were murdered in their bedroom."
"I've heard of it." Kang Wenlong's face changed slightly, "What does this have to do with Lulu?"
"When I came to look for Lulu, I found the door open. I called for a long time but no one answered, so I rushed in and found Lulu lying on the ground without any clothes. Fortunately, she had just fainted. I hurriedly carried her to the bed, then asked my friend for help and called you." Chen Duo said, pointing at Xu Lai.
This was a set of excuses the two had thought of beforehand. After all, if you really talk about the facts, it's hard to explain the matter clearly.
"Do you think it was that man from Zijinyuan who harmed my cousin?" the young man who came with Kang Wenlong suddenly asked.
"This is Lulu's cousin Sun Muyu, he happened to come along." Kang Wenlong introduced.
Chen Duo said: "I'm just guessing, anyway, this is very strange."
Sun Muyu glanced at Chen Duo and Xu Lai and said, "It's so late, what do you want to see my cousin for?"
Chen Duo was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this person was doubting them. She couldn't help but get angry: "Girls' business!"
At this time, two female doctors came out of the room.
"How is it?" Kang Wenlong quickly stood up and asked.
The older doctor said, "Miss, apart from being a little weak, there's nothing serious wrong with you, except..."
"What is it?" Kang Wenlong asked nervously.
"There are eight bruises on the young lady's body, as if she was beaten. It's not a big problem, just flesh wounds." The doctor explained hurriedly.
Kang Wenlong frowned, waved his hand and said, "You go and take care of the young lady."
The two doctors responded and went back to Kang Lu's bedroom.
Chen Duo and Xu Lai also stood up and said to Kang Wenlong, "Uncle Kang, since you are here, my friend and I will go home first."
Kang Wenlong nodded and said with a smile: "You two have worked so hard today. I will ask the driver to take you there. When Lulu recovers, I will invite you to my home."
"Uncle Kang, you're too polite. We live very close and you can go back by yourself. You guys take care of Lulu." Chen Duo declined and went out with Xu Lai.
When the two came out of Tianxiang Garden, it was almost twelve o'clock. They waited for a long time but no taxi came.
"Let's walk back. It's not far anyway." Xu Lai suggested.
"Oh." Chen Duo had no objection, and the two of them slowly walked back along Jiangnan Avenue.
It was already late at night, but in big cities like Jiangning, the lights were still on at this time.
"What's wrong? You don't seem happy?" Xu said.
"Nothing." Chen Duo said sullenly.
"Do you regret not killing your mortal enemy when you had such a good opportunity?"
"Get out!" Chen Duo said angrily.
After they walked for a while, Chen Duo suddenly sighed and asked, "Tell me, am I born unlucky? Or is it something like that?"
"You mean the evil spirit of loneliness has entered your life?" Xu said.
"Is it true?" Chen Duo asked nervously.
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Xu Lai smiled.
Chen Duo walked silently for a while and said, "When the accident happened five years ago, my parents were both gone, but I was fine. Those three model girls were killed because they rented my house, and Kang Lu also got into trouble because of me."
"What are you thinking about? What does it have to do with you?" Xu Lai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Really, I just feel like I'm very unlucky, otherwise why can I see those dirty things." Chen Duo said, feeling a little sour in her nose.
Xu came to see her and said, "Tell me your birth date and I'll calculate it for you for free."
"Can you do it?" Chen Duo asked doubtfully.
"I'm a mage after all, okay? Hurry up." Xu Lai urged.
Chen Duo reported his birth date and after a while, he said, " Landlord , you have a very good life and are very blessed."
"Is it true?" Chen Duo didn't believe it.
"And it's especially good for husbands." Xu said.
"Just make it up!" Chen Duo said disdainfully, "Alright, alright, let's go now."
Xu Lai chuckled, followed her, and asked, "Landlord, how did your parents die?"
Chen Duo was silent for a moment, but still said, "Five years ago, my parents took me out for a trip. One night, halfway through the journey, I didn't know what happened, but I suddenly passed out. When I woke up, my parents had passed away. They said there was a traffic accident and the whole car was burned."
"But what's strange is that I wasn't in the car at the time. I was found in a bush quite far away, and I wasn't injured."
"What did your parents do when they were alive?" Xu Lai asked.
"Oh, my parents are both university teachers, nothing special about them," said Chen Duo.
But I heard Xu say: "Your parents can't be ordinary people."
"What do you mean?" Chen Duo was puzzled.
Xu Lai said, "Do you think anyone can give birth to a child with yin-yang eyes? Even if your parents are not in our business, they at least have something to do with it."
"Are you talking about a magician? Impossible. My parents don't believe in anything like you." Chen Duo said.
Xu Lai smiled and did not continue the topic, saying: "And you lived alone?"
"Yes, my parents left me four houses, and I can live on the rent." Chen Duo said, and suddenly stopped and asked: "You have been a mage for so many years, have you met any big shots?"
" What big shot?" Xu Lai was puzzled.
"They are the top masters among you mages!" Chen Duo's eyes were shining and he was very excited.
"I've met a lot of them. Who do you want to meet?" Xu Lai smiled. He had met too many top figures in the art.
"Are you bragging?" Chen Duo didn't believe it at all.
Although she didn't understand much, she knew that it was extremely difficult to meet the top figures in any field. Xu Lai was just a half-baked wizard, so how could he meet those big figures ?
But this guy has been around for so many years, so if he's lucky, he might have seen one or two.
"What do you want to see them for?" Xu Lai asked.
Chen Duo walked a few steps and said, "It's all because of the Yin-Yang eyes. I've seen those things since I was a child. At that time, I dreamed that it would be great if I could meet a master who could protect me or take me in as his apprentice. Then I wouldn't have to be afraid."
Then I heard Xu Lai laughing beside me.
"What are you laughing at!" Chen Duo was angry.
I only heard him say: "Who do you want to protect you? I'll go find him."
Chen Duo knew that he was just talking, but she still said, "Find the headmaster of Tianshi Mansion for me."
"Oh, you also know about Tianshi Mansion?" Xu Lai was surprised.
"Of course, I also know about Maoshan Zhengdao and Qingwei Sect!" Chen Duo said unhappily.
"You saw it on TV?"
"Can you read it in novels?" Chen Duo said with disdain.
Xu Lai chuckled, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Landlord, let me tell you a secret."
"What?" Chen Duo asked.
"Actually, I used to be the headmaster of Tianshi Temple." Xu said.
"Well, I used to be the headmaster of the Maoshan Sect," said Chen Duo.
"I really was the headmaster of Tianshi Temple." Xu Lai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I really was the headmaster of the Maoshan Sect." Chen Duo said unhappily.
It was already late at night when the two returned to Zijin Garden. Chen Duo yawned and went back to her room. Xu Lai watched another episode of TV in the living room and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, when he woke up, it was already quite light. Xu Lai got up and prepared to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some toothpaste, towels, etc. When he opened the door, he found two bags of things at the door, one bag was packed with soy milk and steamed buns and fried dough sticks, and the other bag was toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, etc.
There was a note on the door: "If you help me save people, I will buy you breakfast."
Xu Lai smiled, brought the bag in, washed up first, and then had breakfast. He went to 2101 opposite and knocked on the door, but no one answered. It seemed that he had already gone back to school.
So I took the elevator downstairs, walked along Puning Road for a while, saw a mobile phone store nearby, went in and bought a new one to replace the old antique.
I sent a text message to Chen Duo: "Thanks for breakfast."
Not long after, Chen Duo came back: "Little thing, are you up?"
"I just went to buy a mobile phone." Xu Lai replied.
"Oh, that's great. Let me install WeChat right away." Chen Duo replied.
After a while, Xu Lai installed WeChat and added Chen Duo as a friend. Then he strolled along Puning Street. When he reached a fork in the road, he turned right and continued to turn right at the next intersection.
If you keep going like this, you will end up going around Zijin Garden in a circle.
Xu Lai then turned east to Xiangjisi Road and continued to walk slowly. From this, it can be seen that when Jiangning City was built, someone was specially hired to do Feng Shui design, and the street layout is very reasonable.
Xu Lai walked all the way and turned to Jiangnan Avenue, then came to Tianxiang Garden where he had been last night. Taking this as the center, he continued to circle outward, observing the distribution of the five elements and the direction of vitality in this area.
At noon, Xu Lai found himself on the road to the college by accident. Jiangning University was right next to it. He saw that it was getting late, and was about to go to a restaurant on the street to have a meal, when he heard someone behind him calling, "Hey, aren't you Xu Lai?"
