The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 367 The Cuckoo Takes the Nest
Nan Feng Bei Shen, Dong Xia Xi Yuan! (Southern Madman, Northern God, Eastern Hero, Western Wrongdoer!)
He was a figure as famous as Xiao Zhan, the Northern Border War God, ranked in the top four on the Heavenly Rankings, a master of the highest caliber!
But judging from what he did today, calling him a 'big sucker' wasn't wronging him at all.
Thinking that her words just now were somewhat impolite, Li Ziqing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Senior Lu. I didn't know it was you just now, and I was rude. Please forgive me. As for what I said, you can..."
"Don't worry, girl, I won't take it to heart."
Before Li Ziqing could finish, Lu Datou waved his hand, appearing very magnanimous.
"No, no, Senior, you misunderstood. What I meant was, you must take my words to heart! Don't try to persuade people to turn over a new leaf anymore, or you'll be deceived again!"
Li Ziqing said very sincerely.
Lu Datou was stunned for a moment. He knew that with the understanding of his identity, almost no one in this world dared to talk to him like this, especially since the other party was just a delicate little girl.
But after a moment, he burst out laughing.
It was precisely because no one dared to talk to him like this that Li Ziqing's frankness made him feel happy.
"Alright, alright, girl, I've remembered your words. I will definitely be more careful in the future and won't believe just anyone!"
Although he said that, he would still be fooled the next time.
He just didn't mind being tricked a hundred times, otherwise, how would he have earned the nickname 'big sucker'!
Then Lu Datou turned his gaze to Chen Xiao: "Little brother, may I ask your name?"
"My surname is Chen, and my given name is Xiao."
After Chen Xiao said his name, he introduced Li Ziqing, "This is my girlfriend, Li Ziqing."
"Hello, two young friends. Today, this old man has done another foolish thing, but don't worry, I will return the ninety thousand yuan to you two in due time."
Lu Datou said confidently.
"No need, Senior Lu. I've long heard of Senior Lu's name. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. Consider the ninety thousand yuan as my treat for Senior Lu's drinks."
Among the four Heavenly Ranking experts, Chen Xiao was already directly or indirectly hostile to two of them, but this 'big sucker' was quite to his liking.
Although he seemed crazy, at least he was frank.
"If you say so, then I won't be polite with you, but if you two encounter any trouble in the future, just mention my name, Lu Datou. This 'big sucker' still has some influence."
As he spoke, Lu Datou stretched and yawned, "Two young friends, I didn't sleep all night last night. I have to go back and catch up on some sleep. Farewell!"
After saying that, Lu Datou cupped his fist at the two of them and left freely.
Watching Lu Datou's departing back, Li Ziqing couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that the dignified Xi Yuan would be like this."
"Hehe, alright, aren't you hungry? Let's go eat."
Chen Xiao said with a smile.
He glanced at Lu Datou one last time, and a premonition suddenly arose in his heart that they would meet again soon.
And for some reason, Chen Xiao felt a natural sense of closeness the first time he saw Lu Datou.
After eating, the two continued on their way, and this time it was Li Ziqing's turn to drive.
"Chen Xiao, I'll take you to my house first. That's where I lived when I was little. You can catch up on some sleep first, and I'll take you to Grandpa's place tonight."
Whether or not he got sleep didn't matter to Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao was quite looking forward to the place where Li Ziqing lived when she was a child.
As for Li Ziqing's parents, Li Ziqing never mentioned them.
Including this time, she still didn't mention them.
Chen Xiao guessed that Li Ziqing's parents were probably no longer alive, so Chen Xiao didn't ask any further questions.
The car, driven by Li Ziqing, drove onto a quiet road.
The buildings in front of them began to change, and Chen Xiao felt an ancient aura.
Rows of old-fashioned Western-style houses, red tiles and pink walls, pointed roofs, and oval windows.
The houses were covered with vines, and the fences were planted with large areas of lush green plants.
The car stopped, and Li Ziqing said cheerfully, "We're home! Let's get out of the car!"
Chen Xiao got out of the car. In front of him was a four-story old Western-style building, with mottled walls that bore the marks of time.
It was as if he was in a TV series describing the old era, and he could even imagine the cute appearance of little Li Ziqing wearing a white dress.
The door was open, and the yard was also very tidy, without any weeds. Li Ziqing said with relief, "No one usually lives here. Auntie occasionally comes to help me clean up. Maybe she knows I'm coming back and is inside now!"
Then she added in a lonely tone, "In this family, Auntie is the only one who is kind to me, so Chen Xiao, you must be good to her too..."
Chen Xiao said with a smile, "Don't worry, your auntie is my auntie, of course I have to be good to her."
The two came to the door. Li Ziqing didn't ring the doorbell but directly used the key to open the door. She wanted to give her auntie a surprise.
However, she inserted the key for a long time, but she couldn't insert it in.
"The lock has been changed? Why didn't she tell me?"
Li Ziqing frowned slightly and rang the doorbell.
"Auntie, I'm back, come and open the door for me!"
Li Ziqing shouted loudly.
After a while, the door opened, and a young woman in a bathrobe walked out.
The woman was sleepy-eyed, and the yawn couldn't hide the disgust on her face: "Who are you? What are you shouting? Who is your auntie?"
Obviously, this young woman was definitely not Li Ziqing's auntie, just looking at her age.
Li Ziqing frowned directly when she saw this person: "Ask me who I am? I want to ask you, who are you? Why are you in my house?"
The woman immediately raised her mouth and sneered: "Your house? You've got the wrong door, this is obviously my house, when did it become your house?"
"I got the wrong door? I've lived here for nearly ten years, would I get the wrong door? I'm asking you, who are you? Who allowed you to live here?"
Li Ziqing suddenly became angry. Although she didn't live in this house often, it didn't mean that just anyone could live in it.
What's more, it was a woman she didn't know at all.
"You're a lunatic!"
The woman in the bathrobe rolled her eyes, "I'm warning you, get out of here from wherever you came from. If you dare to pester me again, be careful I report you to the authorities and sue you for trespassing!"
Li Ziqing was directly laughed at, this woman was too shameless, not only did she occupy the nest, but she even wanted to sue the owner of the house for trespassing?
Who gave her the courage?
