Lü Shu didn't have time to throw the clothes he had changed out of into the washing machine. He could say goodbye to his shirt as there were a few holes in it. However, he had checked his pants before, and they should still be usable.
When he finished studying the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, he happened to see Lü Xiaoyu holding a needle and thread, looking melancholy as to how to mend his pants. She had already mended one, but the stitches looked awkward and crooked.
Xiaoxiong Xu was lying on her head, as if she was already very familiar with Lü Xiaoyu. This scene warmed Lü Shu's heart.
This house was getting more and more lively.
Previously, when he thought of going to the pawnshop to cash the gold chain and watch, it was also because he felt a sense of satisfaction. He was slowly transforming his home into a better and better place, slowly changing things into new ones, and the days were getting more and more enjoyable. This was a kind of happiness in itself. Changing the fridge, the air conditioner, and the television seemed to signify the beginning of a new life.
This kind of happiness was even greater than the bountiful harvest he had in the ruins.
As far as Lv Shu was concerned, wasn't the bountiful harvest in the ruins to make his life better?
Some people might earn money in the beginning just to fill their stomachs, but they slowly immersed themselves in the joy of earning money and couldn't extricate themselves, even forgetting the original purpose of earning money. Perhaps they had saved money for a long time just to buy a Phoenix brand bicycle.
Some people might initially cultivate just to have more freedom or to experience a more exciting world, but slowly, they became immersed in competition and wanted to fight for everything.
And Lü Shu was very clear about what he needed. The purpose of cultivation was to live and be free, not to cultivate for the sake of cultivation.
In the end, Lü Xiaoyu angrily threw Lü Shu's torn pants aside. "If you want to go to the ruins, then go to the ruins. Why are you wearing your pants like this? Life is hard, isn't it!"
Pfft, Lü Shu was still feeling warm, but in an instant, a basin of cold water was poured on his head. "I didn't ask you to sew it for me!"
"No! Lü Xiaoyu angrily picked up his trousers and continued to sew and mend them …
The next morning, Lü Shu woke up at three in the morning and went to Li Xianyi's place to practice his swordsmanship. Li Xianyi was already waiting there.
When the old man saw Lü Shu, he smiled calmly and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
After all, he had just come out of the ruins, so it was normal for him to want to rest for a few days. However, he still waited here, wanting to see what kind of temperament Lü Shu had. In the end, Lü Shu did not choose to rest and came to practice his sword.
Li Xianyi said, "Cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. It's rare for you to have such a temperament at your age. Actually, you could have rested for a few days before continuing your sword practice. Why do you have to work so hard?"
Lü Shu grinned and said, "Compared to the dangers in the ruins, being able to cultivate in peace is already considered relaxing. If I didn't cultivate for so many days, I'm afraid I would have suffered a bit in the ruins. "
This was the truth. If he did not have the physical control that he had accumulated through daily sword practice, he would not have been able to throw his spear so accurately.
Sometimes, it was difficult to see the results of daily accumulation, but at critical moments, the brilliance that was accumulated bit by bit would shine brilliantly!
Li Xianyi sized up Lü Shu seriously. If he had such a temperament back then, his achievements would probably be even higher now.
Most youths were playful. Even many successful people were unbearably stubborn in their youth. They were also fickle and ambitious, but in the end, the trials of life would turn them into true gold.
As for Lü Shu, it seemed like he had never been naughty or mischievous. It was as if he never had the right to be naughty or mischievous. From the beginning, he had only been working hard in life.
Li Xianyi could not help but sigh. Perhaps only someone like Lü Shu who had suffered would truly know how to cherish and forge ahead.
He really wanted to know what kind of achievements such a youth would have in the future.
The old man did not ask Lü Shu what he had gained in the ruins, nor did he ask what secrets Lü Shu had. He only had one thought in mind: teach him what he knew, and then see how many clouds he would break when he rose to the top.
When that time came, the condition that he had made with Lü Shu would probably be fulfilled.
"From this morning onwards, I'll stop chopping and start practicing picking." With that, Li Xianyi demonstrated with his own body, making sure that Lü Shu understood what he meant.
After the sword practice, when Lü Shu brought Lü Xiaoyu out, Xiaoxiong Xu directly jumped onto Lü Xiaoyu's shoulder and ignored Lü Shu. He had betrayed him for the sake of potato chips. He had no integrity at all, and Lü Shu could not be bothered with him.
When he passed by the entrance of Li Xianyi's courtyard, the old man was reading in the courtyard. There was a teapot by his hand, and the old man had a peaceful and calm expression on his face as he held a Grade Two math textbook in his hand …
When he saw Lü Shu come out with Lü Xiaoyu, he asked curiously, "Where are you two going?"
"We're going to the pawnshop to sell some stuff …" Lü Shu felt guilty and was too embarrassed to say what he was going to sell. Once he had enough of being extravagant, he would take off all his items and put them in a bag. He was not afraid of being robbed, as there were not many people who could rob him now …
With Lü Shu's money-grubber personality, if someone were to rob him of his bag of gold chains and small watches, the other party would probably die on the spot …
Li Xianyi shook his head. "Don't go to the pawnshop to sell things. Just go directly to those places with high prices."
"Why?" Lü Shu was stunned for a moment. He did a search on the internet and found out that the pawnshop prices were quite fair.
"You don't know, right? What's the difference between a pawnshop and a high price return? The essence of a pawnshop is actually a 'pledge'. You can redeem it. Therefore, based on the price per gram of gold, it's at least ten yuan cheaper than those places with high prices. If you're buying gold, you can try your luck at a pawnshop. Maybe you'll find something cheaper. " Li Xianyi explained, "I don't think you'll redeem these things, so there's no need to go to a pawnshop. Just sell them at a high price."
Lü Shu was suddenly enlightened. He should listen to the advice of an experienced person. So that's what it was. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
After hearing Li Xianyi's words, Lü Shu asked around for a long time before he found out that there was one in the Century Huayang office building next to Luoyang City's Wanda. It looked quite legal, but when he took a closer look, it said: Transactions with minors are prohibited, goods with unknown origins are prohibited …
Finally, he found a small recycling shop at Zhou Wangcheng Square. The boss was sitting behind the counter with a cigarette in his mouth and playing pirated Legend of Mir …
Lü Shu knocked on the glass counter. "Boss, I'm selling something."
"What are you selling?" The boss didn't even turn his head.
"A few gold chains, Tissot, Longines, Omega, Radar …"
The middle-aged boss was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Lü Shu. "What, are you doing wholesale?"
