He is from the end of the world

Chapter 2 Settled down

"Lord Lizheng." Lu Ciyu quickly went through the script in his mind, got up before he could speak, and gave a respectful salute to the sour and rotten academy scholar who had been stealthily learned in the past few days.

Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat, seeing the other person's posture as if he was still a scholar, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Master Lu, please get up, please speak up if you have something to say."

Lu Ciyu straightened up and forced a smile.

"In Xia Lugui, the name is Ciyu, and the ancestral home is Qingyan, Jiangnan. There are several shops and nearly a thousand acres of fertile fields in the family, and there are many siblings in the family. Ciyu practice six." Lu Ciyu sighed and whispered.

"Six months ago, my grandfather and father went out to inspect the shop together, and unfortunately passed away in a mountain torrent. My mother was not good at doing business, and my uncle...helped me. The Lu mansion declined overnight, and my mother had to change the seller's ancestral property to make a living." Lu Ci Yu's voice was hoarse and his face was sad. He raised his head and glanced at Li Zheng, as if he was extremely embarrassed by his current situation, and whispered, "I'm laughing.

" easily acceptable results.

Because it is the conclusion drawn by his own guess, the bottom of his heart will be the first to believe in three points.

What he said was vague, and Li Zheng, who had lived most of his life, could not understand it. What Lu Ciyu said was to help each other, but in fact, I'm afraid it wasn't another incident in which Lin Chi's uncle's family occupied the magpie's nest and dominated other people's property. This child looks like a scholar, he knows the book and understands reason, and he understands that he can't talk about the faults of his elders.

Li Zheng was still thinking about it, Lu Ciyu lowered his eyes and turned his back, wiped his eyes with his cuffs, and when he turned around again, his eyes were flushed.

Can it not be red? Before he went down the mountain, he was afraid that he would not be able to cry, so he put a few drops of mustard oil on the sleeves. Fortunately, the sleeves were originally black to prevent dirt and abrasives. come out.

"The Lu House dismissed the servants, but they still couldn't make ends meet. The aunt finally made up her mind, invited the elders in the clan to preside over the separation, and then took me away from Qingyan, and wanted to find a place to resettle.

" To be safe, I specially found a caravan with a dart company to escort darts, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect...". Lu Ciyu's tone was sour, and her voice changed in grief (actually, she was choked by mustard).

"In the past few years, the imperial court was in turmoil, and the new emperor... the new emperor came to the throne, and many mountain bandits were unruly and chaotic everywhere. A group of mountain bandits took a fancy to the cargo of the caravan, robbed darts and slaughtered them in the middle, and Ci Yu was guarded by his brother desperately and struggled. I escaped."

"When all the thieves were gone, did Ciyu secretly go back to collect the corpses of her relatives. Later, she joined a kind caravan to recuperate, and then went all the way north, and finally arrived here."

Li Zheng nod.

A few years ago, the current emperor led his army to the imperial capital and forced the late emperor to take the throne. During that time, Chen Chao was in chaos up and down, and many people took the opportunity to snatch and kill the grass.

The officials of the government office have been paying attention to the above trends all day, and they have no intention to suppress the bandits. The mountain bandits and bandits have been rampant for a period of time, and many people have suffered. They have also heard about this in Yangning Village.

Fortunately, the new emperor immediately ordered to send troops to suppress the bandits after he ascended the throne. If they talk about the new emperor without thinking, they should be clear in their hearts, and they must not say it out loud.

Lu Ciyu took a deep breath and calmed down. "I followed the escort team before, because I was eager to save trouble and put the famous and registered household posts in the caravan leader's place. Later, when they encountered mountain bandits, they fled for their lives in a hurry. .

"Without the famous post, the towns and county governments and other places where the relevant checkpoints have been established cannot enter, and Ciyu is confused and homeless and doesn't know where to go. Later, he went to Yangning Village unintentionally, and saw that the villagers were simple and honest, sincere, and the scenery was beautiful. Then I thought of settling here, and I hope Li Zheng can agree."

These things are not all made up by him, and most of them are true.

There really was a Qingyan Lu family in this dynasty. Lu Ciyu crossed over not long after the tragedy happened, and the blood on the ground had not dried up at that time.

"Master Lu thinks that my Yangning villagers are simple?" Li Zheng asked instead of answering Lu Ciyu's desire to settle down.

"Exactly." Lu Ciyu was anxious, but couldn't help but answer: "The people in the village are simple and simple, whether it's the second uncle who first met in the village or the little brother Lin outside, they all gave Ciyu great help. Yu keep that in mind."

Li Zheng nodded secretly. Quite a caring child.

"Master Lu seems to be a scholar?"

Lu Ciyu smiled shyly: "Ciyu has only been in school for a few years and has read a few classics. The word "literary" should never be considered a scholar."

Well, he is still a sincere child. . It's different from some people in the village who pretend to be scholars after reading for a few days and look down on them, who are digging food in the soil.

The two in the house continued to ask and answer questions, and the lady in the kitchen at the back of the house kept asking questions.

"Brother Chi, what do you think about this Young Master Lu?"

Lin Chi lowered his head and sighed, "Auntie, what are you talking about?"

He had planned to come to look for Aunt Lizheng at night. He has been groggy because of illness for the past few days. He was awakened by thirst in the middle of the night and felt very unwell. He wanted to go to the kitchen to get himself a glass of water to drink. He happened to pass by the door of the second aunt and accidentally heard the second aunt and her daughter Lin Mei discussed that he should be assigned to the widower in the outer village. Lin Chi froze in place as if struck by lightning. In a panic, he thought of Aunt Lizheng, who had always been very good to him, and wanted to ask her to give him an idea.

Aunt Lizheng's temperament is a bit explosive, and if she finds out, she'll be yelling right away. They were all farmhouses and small courtyards without sound insulation. Lin Chi was not afraid of being embarrassed by Li Zheng's hearing, but he didn't want to be known by Lu Ciyu for no reason.

As soon as he was silent, Mrs. Lizheng thought of something else. Who didn't come here from a young age, the young man's careful thoughts could not be concealed at all.

That Young Master Lu was beyond the reach of people in their village in terms of his overall demeanor. He could attract a lot of attention when he walked into the city. How could he choose a wife and marry a husband in such a small village? Besides, Young Master Lu looked to be in his twenties. At this age, he would have married and had children long ago.

Lady Lizheng sighed. After all, he was the one who looked after him, and Lin Chi was not too young. His second aunt didn't want to spend her time on him, so she had to help him look at him.

She saw that Lin Chi was still keeping his head down and didn't speak. She knew that his heart was bitter. She reached out and touched his head, took out a candy from the small jar in the kitchen cabinet and stuffed it into his mouth: "Sweet."

Lin Chi The eyes were astringent, the quality of the sugar in the mouth was not good, and it was even slightly bitter, but it was considered extremely luxurious for them. The people in the village can eat a few pieces only when someone gets married during the festivals, and it is unknown how long this piece has been stored.

Mrs. Lizheng wanted to make him happy, but he didn't expect that people seemed to be even more sad, a little flustered, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Ah. They have been chatting for so long, I am afraid they are also thirsty. Brother Chi, we will bring them water. Go."

Lu Ciyu was in a cold sweat from Li Zheng's questions one after another, but the questions he asked were not difficult to answer, but mostly his own views on some things. Before he came, Lu Ciyu had done his best to make the most perfect hypothetical response to Li Zheng's possible attitude. He still remembered a bunch of people's experiences in black and white on the space paper. Unexpectedly, Li Zheng didn't play cards according to the routine and turned a blind eye to his performance.

Fortunately, Lu Ciyu, who graduated from the nonsense major of Zhongyang Opera Academy, quickly discovered the main points of his question. He treated Li Zheng as an interviewer in a modern job application with care, grasped the other party's psychology, and cooperated with mustard oil. After repeated performances with props, he soon succeeded in creating a good image of "experienced miserable and heartbroken, but still neither humble nor arrogant, respecting the old, loving the young, enthusiastic and polite".

Rao was like this. When Aunt Lizheng and Lin Chi entered the room, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he didn't realize how grateful he was looking at Lin Chi.

Lin Chi was taken aback by his gaze, so he peeked at him - did Uncle Li Zheng agree?

Lu Ciyu pouted - I don't know yet.

It's been a long time since I met a junior who is so harmonious with my own three views. I was interrupted and still a little unfinished. Seeing the two little ones winking there, I couldn't help laughing: "I'll take care of this, I'll go tomorrow morning. The town asked about the settlement, should Ciyu fall under the name of an old man in the village or set up a separate household?"

Lu Ciyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's set up a separate household."

Li Zheng frowned: "But you've made up your mind?"

Lu Ciyu nodded yes. He was new and helpless, and it was the best choice to fall under someone else's name, but it also meant that he would inevitably be dragged into troubles in the village in the future.

Lu Ciyu is very comfortable, so messy things don't get involved if they don't get involved, and he feels comfortable alone. What's more, there are many secrets on him, which can also reduce the chance of being discovered.

Li Zheng saw that he was unwilling and did not force it. After chatting for such a long time, I realized that the child in front of him is a child with ideas, and he just has his own plans.

Lu Ciyu took the backpack aside and opened it. He chose an ordinary outdoor bag. The zipper was removed in advance by him. In order to prevent things from falling, they were fixed and tied with a few ropes.

He took out a small cloth bag, which was neatly packed with ten taels of silver. Lu Ciyu took two and handed them to Li Zheng.

How could Li Zheng accept it: "You are new here, which one doesn't want money to buy a house and land? I'll put it up for you first, and I'll talk about it later when you stabilize."

Lu Ciyu's face sank: "Uncle Lizheng is willing to help this busy with human favors to find people. Ciyu is so grateful for doing things everywhere, how can I still owe you the silver taels. Besides, when Ciyu buys a house and land in the future, he will also ask Uncle Lizheng to help him watch it, can he still be so indistinguishable every time?"

Lizheng was helpless. , had to accept it. Lu Ciyu said again: "Ciyu has just arrived here and has no fixed place to live. May I ask if it is possible to clean up the house where people live directly now? It is possible to rent or buy."

Li Zheng thought about it carefully and chose the one on the left side of the village for him. A private house. The owner of the house was just picked up by his son to enjoy the happiness in the town some time ago. Before leaving, Tori was selling the house. Lu Ciyu had no household registration and could not sign a contract at the moment. I'll talk about that later.

Lin Chi's heart moved, the house was very close to the second uncle's mother's house and could be reached within a few breaths of walking.

Li Zheng glanced at him with a smile, took out the key and handed it to him. Mrs. Lizheng went into the back room and took out a large quilt, and then picked out a few nests from the stove and stuffed them into Lu Ciyu: "I also went to see his house, and everything inside was emptied. My aunt doesn't know about you. Can you get used to it? If you don't dislike it, put a pad on your stomach. The quilt is also newly made without covering it. Fortunately, the weather is still hot now, so it should be enough. Come to my aunt's house for dinner tomorrow."

"It's getting late, and it's hard to walk in the village at night. You are just on the way, why don't you let Brother Chi go with you."

Lu Ciyu had the backpack on the bright side. Be late to leave.

The night was quiet, and the chatting people had already gone home. The village was dark, and there was a faint bark or two, and there was a slight coolness in the air. Lin Chi followed him quietly, and from time to time a sentence came out to remind him of the direction.

The sky is full of stars, clear and bright that cannot be seen in modern times. Lu Ciyu looked up at the sky, even after half a month, he still couldn't control himself to admire the beauty of nature.

Breathing is the unique fresh air of the countryside, and the people you meet are simple and friendly. For the first time, Lu Ciyu felt that it was not bad to leave a familiar city and come to this strange world.
