Lu Xingzhi stopped in front of Carpenter Chen's house and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, no one came to open the door. Lu Xingzhi wondered if it was such a coincidence that Carpenter Chen's son wasn't home either.
Just as Lu Xingzhi was about to continue walking forward to ask someone, he heard the sound of running footsteps behind him.
Lu Xingzhi turned around and saw a bespectacled man in his mid-twenties running towards him. He adjusted his glasses as he ran.
"Eh, a soldier?" When the man saw Lu Xingzhi standing in front of his house, he stopped at a distance. "Are you looking for me?"
Lu Xingzhi was wearing a military uniform, so he was a soldier. As long as he didn't look like the old man in front of him, anyone could tell that he was a soldier.
"Yes, I'm looking for you." Lu Xingzhi nodded, then said, "Your family has the blueprint of Cuicheng, right? Can I take a look at it? "
"Of course, of course. Please come in." Carpenter Chen's son, Chen Peng, hurriedly opened the door and invited Lu Xingzhi in. When he entered the courtyard, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "The courtyard is a little messy. This job is half-done. I'm sorry, but please watch where you step. Don't bump into anything."
"It's fine." Lu Xingzhi's gaze swept across the courtyard. There were sawdust everywhere on the ground. In the middle of the courtyard, there were some tools and a half-completed wardrobe. The courtyard was huge, and there was a large vegetable field in the corner.
He could tell that the owner was very hardworking. The vegetable field was well taken care of. There were no weeds in the vegetable field, and there was even a patch of cabbage that looked like it had just been plowed.
Lu Xingzhi frowned slightly, then looked around the courtyard without saying a word.
"Please take a seat. I'll go and find where my dad put the blueprint. My dad said that the blueprint is our family heirloom. It's an old item." Chen Peng gestured for Lu Xingzhi to find a chair and sat down. Then, he went into the house next door.
Carpenter Chen's family was well-to-do. In addition, he was a carpenter himself, so the furniture in his house was one of the more complete in the village. Lu Xingzhi looked around and guessed that Chen Peng's mother had passed away early. That was why he didn't see anything related to a woman in the house.
"Found it! Found it!"
Chen Peng, who was in the room next door, suddenly shouted a few times. Then, he ran out. Perhaps he was in a hurry, but when he came out of the door, he accidentally tripped on the threshold and fell straight toward Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi quickly supported him. Chen Peng patted his chest and sighed. "Thank you. I almost fell to my death."
Perhaps because he was in a hurry, Chen Peng didn't wear slippers when he entered the house. After he steadied himself, he patted his chest and reached out to hand the blueprint to Lu Xingzhi. "This should be it. I saw my dad hide it in the cabinet when I was young."
Lu Xingzhi's gaze inadvertently fell on Chen Peng's hand. Then, he reached out to take the blueprint.
Rather than a blueprint, it was more like a handwritten picture book. The book was half the size of an A4 paper, but it was quite thick.
The book looked very old and yellowed. When he opened it, a lot of the ink was blurred. Surprisingly, he could still smell the fragrance of ink.
