Chapter 18: Strange Rumors (I)
Every time a person is buried, people plant a tree on Xuan Mountain. Now the trees on the top of the mountain require two people to hug them. During the time when no one visits, they always quietly accompany the travelers who reach their destination.
Outside of the Qingming Festival, Xuanshan Cemetery is usually very quiet, with only the sound of wind blowing through the huge treetops.
However, today, it is unusually lively here.
Half of the people from the Foreign Household Registration Bureau gathered here, conducting a carpet search in full swing.
Lu Ren has been missing for three days since the evening of July 14th.
Lian Junfang couldn't sense where he was.
You have to know that they have a blood pact. If the connection between them is activated, there are only two possibilities: Lu Ren fell into the gap between time and space, or Lu Ren died.
Jun Fang was sitting blankly on the steps in front of the individual tourist center. That was where he last saw Lu Ren.
He recalled Lu Ren's disappearance, which happened in just a moment when he was talking to Lao Yang about what happened twenty-one years after he left.
He could feel that Lu Ren was not far away from him, but suddenly, this feeling was cut off as if by a knife, causing Jun Fang to feel a sudden palpitation for no reason, even though his heart had stopped beating for a long time.
He immediately called Master Yu.
That night, Yu Shi was playing a game with Feng Bo on his mobile phone. During the team battle, he received a call from Jun Fang. How could I describe Yu Shi's face at that time? It was darker than the bottom of a pot. But before he could get angry at Jun Fang, he heard the cry of the old zombie.
"Woo woo woo, Master Rain Master! Lu Ren is missing!"
The sound was so loud that even Feng Bo, who was concentrating on playing games nearby, couldn't help but look sideways.
And Yu Shi didn't even open the speaker.
After Master Yu found out the whole story, he snatched Master Feng's phone on the spot and forced him to quit the game.
"Jun Fang can't sense Lu Ren anymore."
The Rain Master only said one sentence , but Feng Bo immediately understood the seriousness of the problem. But this did not stop Feng Bo from beating up his bad teammate, and the Rain Master was given a good beating.
The Foreign Household Investigation Bureau can be said to have gone out in full force to investigate the place where Lu Ren was last seen.
In the cemetery, Wen Ma from the combat team had just finished digging up someone's ancestral grave. This was an old grave that had been built a long time ago, near the mountainside. The descendants had probably moved away long ago, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds. A couple who had been buried before the founding of the People's Republic of China were buried together in the grave. Their bodies had long since turned to bones. The couple lay peacefully in the grave, but suddenly someone lifted the roof, and the two skeletons were startled.
The wife even screamed, covering her snow-white ribs on her chest.
Seeing this, the husband broke off his own thigh bone and hit Wen Ma with a hammer, then angrily closed the coffin lids of both of them.
Wen Ma was caught off guard and beaten up, but he knew he was in the wrong, so he covered the bump on his head and went to find Tushan Qiluo, the leader of the second combat team, hesitantly.
"Boss, this is not a good idea. Three days have passed, and that guy is a human being. If he was dragged away by someone so blind, he would have suffocated to death."
Tushan Qiluo glanced at Wen Ma and said, "Just look for it when I told you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
After saying that, he kicked Wen Ma on the butt, and kicked Wen Ma, who was standing on the tomb passage, down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain are all new graves that have been built in the past two years. Unscrupulous businessmen have driven up the price of graves. These tombs are all built densely and compactly. Wen Ma's huge body is like a bowling ball that has just been released, hitting the row of tombstones at the foot of the mountain with a good score of one.
Fairy Baihua heard the commotion in the area under the charge of Combat Team 2, and looked at the Rain Master who was soaked by the heavy rain but was still working hard to turn the soil. She couldn't help but ask, "Master Rain Master, do you think Ah Ren can be saved?"
Master Yu didn't know either. He didn't stop what he was doing. He just said, "We can always find some arms and legs left. Then we can ask the big guy on the fifth floor for help and plant Ah Ren out. That'll be it."
Baihua wanted to think that it would be mixed with that person's genes, wouldn't it still be the original Ah Ren, but she knew there was no other good way. She could only look at Yu Shi, and they both sighed at the same time .
That’s when the accident happened.
A huge tremor came from underground.
Then a whale song came from the north side of the mountain. The river exploded, the water waves were blown up to the sky, and then fell like a heavy rain.
A Kun broke out of the water.
Fairy Baihua covered her mouth and looked at the sky: "My goodness, is that a Kun? Isn't this thing very reclusive and will not easily leave the North Sea? This is really a knife stabbing my butt, it really opened my eyes."
There is only one Kunpeng in the world, and even considering the long lifespan of monsters, it is extremely rare to see one.
Someone exclaimed: "Why is there a candle on this Kun's head? Is he celebrating his birthday?"
At this time, the decadent Jun Fang suddenly stood up and looked at the Kun with joy.
When Kun fell down, everyone could see clearly: it was not a candle, but Lu Ren.
Even though these divine beasts had seen a lot of the world, they were still frightened by this unprecedented scene.
Lu Ren is riding Kun?
That’s Kun!
Why is he still on fire?
The color of this fire looks so familiar, it looks a lot like Team Leader Lu from Combat Team 1...
By the way, where did Team Leader Lu say he was going on the mission this time?
It seems to be... Bei Ming?
Hey, the figure lying next to Lu Ren looks so familiar, it seems to be Team Leader Lu?
The reason why Lu Ren was so angry was because of the unfriendly Team Leader Lu? !
After Lu Ren and Lu Qingzhou slid down from Kun's back, the members of the combat group came over in a hurry as if they had just woken up from a dream, took over their unconscious team leader, and hurriedly walked away with Lu Qingzhou.
Lu Ren got some free time and turned to thank Kun and Jiao Jiao, who had almost become a black dot on her back: "Thank you for sending me here. I can stop here. My colleagues are all here."
Jiao Jiao stood on Kun's back and shouted to Lu Ren: "Goodbye, Master Lu! Remember to come and drink at our wedding!"
Lu Ren smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then Kun let out a cry, and then took Jiao Jiao away.
Lu Ren waved at Kun and Jiao Jiao as they flew away, and thought casually, "They look so different, this shouldn't be considered a close relative marriage."
He was lost in thought when he turned around and saw Junfang crying.
Junfang choked and said, "Aren! Wuuuu! I thought you were dead too!" The yellow talisman on Junfang's face was obviously wet in two spots at the eyes, and it seemed that he had been crying for quite some time.
Everyone seemed worried about Lu Ren.
Lu Ren even saw Tushan Qiluo standing not far away. When she saw that Lu Ren was safe and sound, she snorted and turned away.
Baihua and Yushi came over. Baihua was the first to say, "Hahahahahahaha, Ah Ren, you're really wiping your butt with a gauze net , you let me slip a trick!"
Lu Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he began to explain his adventure that night.
Without explanation, I wouldn't have known that he had been missing for three days.
The Rain Master patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Aren, you have been absent from work for the past three days."
…
At that moment, Lu Ren was enveloped by a despair that was even deeper than watching Guixu flow into Beiming with his own eyes.
It is worth mentioning that on the way to send Lu Qingzhou to the hospital, the members of the combat team, who were strong in limbs but simple in mind, began their own reasoning:
One who looked not very smart said: "Why do you think Lu Ren has the fire of separation?"
Another, less intelligent one, replied: "You are stupid, you must be doing it to protect him."
"Why would the boss want to protect him? Last time I was stabbed twice, the boss didn't even frown."
The even less intelligent one thought for a long time and discovered a shocking secret: "His surname is Lu, and the boss's surname is also Lu. Could he be the boss's illegitimate son?"
!!!
From then on, the news that Lu Ren was Lu Qingzhou's illegitimate son spread like wildfire in the Immigrant Household Investigation Bureau. Moreover, because the news came from Lu Qingzhou's combat group, almost no one doubted its authenticity.
People spread the gossip by word of mouth, usually ending the sentence with "Don't tell anyone else." As a result, everyone knew the gossip, except the two people involved.
Lu Ren just found that the three-legged bird that used to look at him as a monster, now almost popped its eyes out every time it saw him recently. Its sight was like two x-rays, scanning his body.
How strange.
Lu Ren scratched his head in confusion and started a new day's work.
