Lü Shu was trying to figure out what was going on while he was ready to run away with Lü Xiaoyu at any time. As for whether he could run away or not … he could only say that he tried his best.
However, the group of people in black trench coats didn't seem to want to get entangled with them. They didn't look like the typical bad guys in TV dramas who killed innocent people. They just left.
At this time, Lü Shu was a little relieved. Were they really from the government?
He suddenly remembered the videos and people who disappeared in the supernatural incidents … Could it be that this performer had something to do with those things? Since when did the government have a black trench coat as a uniform … It looked pretty good.
If the other party suddenly showed a certificate from a mysterious department, maybe Lü Shu would really believe it.
As for the fire brigade that the other party mentioned … Forget it …
Encountering this kind of thing, Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu were not in the mood to continue watching the temple fair. It was time to go home.
When leaving, Lü Shu lowered his head and pondered, a little absent-minded.
Lü Xiaoyu looked up at him, "Lü Shu, what are you thinking about?"
"Would it kill you to call me brother!" Lü Shu was a little angry at that time.
"Are we related by blood?" Lu Xiaoyu had a look of disdain on her face.
At this time, suddenly a young man stopped Lü Shu and said with a kind smile, "Did you just come out from the backstage area? Can you tell me what happened inside?"
Lü Shu said warily, "Who are you?"
"Hello, my name is Zhi Wei. Nice to meet you." The handsome young man smiled and introduced himself.
"How happy?" Lü Shu asked.
The young man named Zhi Wei almost peed in his pants. Why was this guy so unpredictable?!
"Uh … Anyway, very happy …" However, when Zhi Wei wanted to continue to explain, he saw that the opposite young man didn't even care about him. He took the cute little girl and left. The little girl was still jumping around him …
"Phew … Forget it, I won't argue with you!" Zhi Wei was a little helpless. It was better to go and take a look herself. There should be many witnesses inside, and those people should be easier to deal with than this young man.
After walking for a while, Lü Shu turned his head to look at the back of the young man and frowned. Calmly, Lü Xiaoyu said, "Lü Shu, there's something wrong with you today."
"Xiaoyu, what would you do if I told you that there are more people in this world who are more powerful than normal people?" Lü Shu asked. If that performer really had a problem, then did the throbbing in his heart mean that … he had a problem as well?
"Of course, I have to be more awesome than them." Lü Xiaoyu said matter-of-factly.
After listening to this, Lü Shu pondered for a moment. Then, as if he had thought something through, he smiled. "What you said is really simple, but it makes sense. Let's go home."
Lü Xiaoyu said to himself, "Lü Shu, your body is so weak. You definitely can't do it. You're already panting badly after playing basketball with your classmates for five minutes. But it doesn't matter. You can't do it, but I can. I'll protect you in the future. You just have to cook for me! "
"Hehe." Lü Shu's face darkened. "Inexplicable confidence."
Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu lived in the fourth courtyard of Luoyang's administrative office road. This was the legendary family courtyard of the municipal party committee. However, that was decades ago. Now, the fourth courtyard was recognized as a slum. At this time, it was still a small one-story bungalow. It was dilapidated and had no gas or heating. It was no wonder that people called it a slum.
Lü Shu and the others lived in a rented house. It was a small bungalow of 80 square meters. In this third-tier city, it cost 500 yuan a month, not including water and electricity. The landlord had no intention of selling the house. He just wanted to wait for a good compensation when the house was demolished.
He had long said that the house would be torn down, but it had not been torn down for several years. This was because the residents in the courtyard were more difficult to deal with.
Many people despised this place, but Lü Shu quite liked it. This was because there was a small courtyard in front of each bungalow. It was about ten square meters, and he could also grow some garlic, chives, and the like. After all, it cost money to buy them.
Lü Shu was short of money because he was an orphan. He was abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage since he was a child.
It was the same for Lü Xiaoyu.
Under normal circumstances, if an orphan grew up in the orphanage until the age of 16 and no one adopted them, they would have to enter society and rely on themselves. This was the case for Lü Shu.
He had been weak since he was a child. Who would be willing to adopt a sickly person?
However, Lü Xiaoyu sneaked out of the orphanage. The orphanage was used to it. In this era, orphans could not stand the life in the orphanage and sneaked out to steal things and become beggars. So, they did not even bother to report it to the police.
The orphanage was not as responsible as the "model orphanages" in the movies. Who would care if the child was dead or alive when he ran out?
Lü Shu wanted to send Lü Xiaoyu back to the orphanage. After all, she was still young and had good conditions. There would definitely be people who would be willing to adopt her. However, Lü Xiaoyu would run out again every time.
Over time, Lü Shu got used to it.
Lü Xiaoyu was a little abnormal. Compared to children of the same age, she was a little precocious. Of course, Lü Shu was not necessarily normal. He did not usually show it, but the conversation with Zhi Wei today was just a microcosm.
The house they rented was in the innermost part of a row of bungalows. When they passed by a square, an aunt neighbor was brewing Chinese medicine.
Lü Shu knew that there was an old man in this family who had been suffering from illness all year round. This aunt neighbor was also the daughter-in-law of the old man. The illness seemed to be hereditary. Before the old man passed away, the son was tortured by the illness.
The daughter-in-law was filial and had been taking care of the old man for so many years. Although Aunt Lin looked to be in her forties and had a lot of wrinkles on her face, Lü Shu could still see how beautiful she was when she was young from the contours of her face.
Such a woman was willing to be a widow and take care of her husband's old man. Such a person was really rare in this society.
"Aunt Lin, good evening," Lü Shu greeted the aunt with a smile.
"Xiao Shu and Xiao Yu, you're back," the aunt replied with a smile.
However, just as Lü Shu was about to pull Lü Xiaoyu home, Lü Xiaoyu suddenly squatted down and looked at the pot of medicine on the small coal stove. "Aunt Lin, can I drink some?"
Aunt Lin was happy. "This is medicine, Xiao Yu."
Lü Xiaoyu thought for a moment. "Then I'll just take a small sip!"
Lü Shu's face immediately darkened. "Go, go, go. What are you doing? You're drinking someone else's medicine!"
It was too f * cking embarrassing. At Lü Shu's age, it was the time for him to grow his self-esteem. Bringing such a little foodie with him was really too much!
The smell of the Chinese medicine did not taste good, okay?!
"Oh." Lü Xiaoyu continued to walk inside reluctantly. He looked back every few steps, obviously still thinking about the pot of Chinese medicine.
Soft coughs came from the house behind Aunt Lin. An old man sighed. "It's good to be young."
Aunt Lin smiled and agreed. "Yes, it's good to be young."
Lü Xiaoyu no longer looked back at the pot of Chinese medicine. Instead, he looked at Lü Shu eagerly. "Lü Shu, I want to eat instant noodles, braised beef!"
