Rivers and Lakes Records

Coincidentally, the inn where Shi Jingtian lived was actually the same as Lu Mingtong and the others. After Lu Mingtong found out, he walked around with him shoulder to shoulder, and then reluctantly went back to their rooms.

Lu Douya came back one step earlier than him, and when she saw Lu Mingtong enter the room, she immediately came forward like a young wife, smiling like a flower, and said, "Master, are you tired, do you want some hot water to take a bath?"

Lu Mingtong waved his hand and said, "No." He took a sip from the teacup on the table and asked, "Let's get down to business. Have you ever heard of the name Shi Jingtian?"

Lu Douya said, "I've never heard of it."

"In the rivers and lakes, is there any famous family with the surname Shi?"

Lu Douya shook her head again: "No."

Once bitten, twice shy.Lu Mingtong knew that the accident this time was man-made, so he kept wandering in the room.

Lu Douya opened his eyes and looked at him suspiciously: "Master, since you have doubts, should you send Yin Shuge to investigate?"

"No need." Lu Mingtong said, "Wait until you come back in nine days."

It was because of a heart-to-heart connection that the moment Lu Ming's fairy tale sound landed, Lu Jiutian pushed the door in. He glanced at Lu Douya lightly, and said directly to Lu Mingtong, "Master."

Lu Jiutian clasped his palms together: "How?"

"The person who snatched the young master's purse in the street today is a habitual offender. This time he was turned away by the government and locked in. He will not be able to get out in a short time. After Shi Jingtian separated from us, he returned to his room. It's a low-class room. Not long after I entered the room, I turned off the lights and took a rest. I waited for a while and came back without any other movement. Young master, do you want me to track down his origin?"

In the days to come, I don't know how many people with unknown identities I will meet. What's the use of Yinshu Pavilion's investigation? Because of his love for his lover, he made it difficult for himself.

Instead of this, it is better to regard them as new experiences on the way forward, and have a battle of wits and courage.With such a reckless personality, it's time to find a chance to restrain him.

Lu Mingtong made up his mind, shook his head and said: "No need, it's just a one-time relationship, don't be trembling, you all go back to rest, the next day we will go directly to the martial arts conference."

After sending the two of them away, Lu Mingtong called Xiaoer to carry the wooden bucket, took a bath and went to bed to rest.

The next day, gentle sunlight penetrated into the room, waking up the sleeping people.

Lu Mingtong smacked his mouth, rubbed his eyes, and prepared to stand up and wash his hands.A sharp pain pierced through an indescribable part of him, causing him to stop his attempt to get up and fall back on the bed.

Lu Mingtong looked at the gauze above his head, and his mind was confused for a moment.

What's going on, someone drugged him?

Immediately afterwards, the scene of yesterday's helpless fall when he stepped on the fruit while chasing the thief rushed into his mind. He tried to support half of his body with his elbow, and tentatively touched yesterday's fruit with the other hand. Landing place.

"hiss--"

A moment later, Lu Douya, who was half asleep and half awake in the next room, heard a tragic cry: "Come here!"

After a stick of incense.

Lu Mingtong leaned weakly on the side of the bed, looked up at Lu Douya who was pacing back and forth in the room, yawned and said, "Don't wobble, wait for nine days and ask the doctor to come."

At this moment, Lu Douya has become an ant on the hot pot. He can't wait to rush into the government office, catch the thief who was detained yesterday, grab him by the collar and ask him: "Why did you steal from our young master? Why did you overturn other people's fruit stalls while running away!"

It's a pity that the thief couldn't hear the irritable emotions in his head, there was a creak at the door, it was Lu Jiutian who invited the doctor back.Lu Douya immediately leaned over: "Doctor, quickly show our young master!"

The doctor was taken aback by this enthusiastic young man, subconsciously took two steps back, nodded and said: "I will do my best." He glanced at Lu Mingtong on the bedside: "Young master, where did you fall?"

Lu Mingtong coughed dryly: "Buttocks."

"Oh," the doctor sighed: "This part hurts when I fell on it. Then, is it convenient for you to turn around and let the old man see how the injury is?"

Lu Mingtong nodded, propped up one leg and wanted to turn over, but the sharp pain came from the pulling, he let out an ouch, and lay back down again.

The doctor turned around in embarrassment: "Here, the two of you are here to help?"

So Lu Jiutian and Lu Douya carefully helped Lu Mingtong turn over. Lu Mingtong buried his head in the pillow, shivering like a boiled prawn, and said straightly, "You two go out first."

After the man went out, the doctor helped him take off his pants tremblingly.

"My lord, it's not easy to fall." The doctor sighed, helped someone pull back the clothes, and searched back and forth in the medicine box: "I have a few bottles of medicine here, apply it once a day in the morning and evening, and then gently Gently massage to cut away the congestion, young master, you should lie down and rest more during this time."

The martial arts conference is imminent. As an envoy of Fengyun, how can he lie in this inn like a dead fish?Lu Mingtong said anxiously: "But I have something important to do, doctor, when will my injury heal?"

"Is there anything more important than your body?" The doctor snorted, and suddenly remembered that the people who came here during this period of time had only one common purpose, so he spoke softly: "Young master, listen to the old man's advice, you look like this now , don’t even think about going to the martial arts conference, and come back after four years of good health.”

Lu Mingtong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not going to compete, doctor, just tell me when I'll be fine."

The doctor packed up the medicine box, thought for a while, and said, "Although there is no injury to the muscles and bones, there are more bruises on the outside. It can take ten days at the earliest, and half a month at the slowest. Young master, remember to rub it more when you have time. The old man will leave first." It's gone." He opened the door and left.

Lu Mingtong looked at the small porcelain bottles in his hands and sighed deeply.

Naturally, the plan to go to the martial arts conference was postponed. Lu Mingtong lay on the bed staring blankly for two days. He was thinking about getting better soon, so he kept the doctor's teaching in mind, and started rubbing his butt as soon as he had time.

It would be too boring to just lie down. Lu Mingtong was bored for two days and couldn't do anything. He could only pursue the last bit of humble fun. He asked Lu Jiutian to move a recliner to the window, and he would lean against the window sill every day. Lie down, observe what the people coming and going downstairs are doing, and see if there are any traces of masters.

It's a pity that after observing for a long time, I didn't see any elegant people appearing.Lu Douya learned about this when he came to deliver meals at noon, and told him that this town was not the closest to the martial arts conference, and many well-known contestants chose places closer.

"It was a long time ago that accommodation was included, but there are more and more people participating in the competition, and there are many people who fish in troubled waters and use the name of the registration to eat and drink. So the rules have been changed since the last session. In the primary election, the Martial Arts League will arrange accommodation. However, most of the contestants are famous disciples, and those who can be selected by the entire sect to participate in the competition do not lack such a small amount of accommodation. They have already lived in the closest to the conference. The inn is gone, only those who come late will live in this town."

Lu Mingtong was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Why do you have to come so long in advance? Isn't it the rule of the martial arts conference that you can come three days in advance?"

Lu Douya said: "In order to find out about each opponent, before the competition, the list of participants is in charge of the Wulin League. They come here to stay in advance, and the people who come and go are naturally those who come to the conference. Know in advance Which sects will be more confident standing on the martial arts stage."

"So that's how it is." Lu Mingtong murmured, then he had to go in quickly, otherwise he wouldn't even know anyone, and I'm afraid Fengyunlu would be ruined in his own hands.

He turned sideways, rubbing the wound slowly, while scanning the bottom of the inn with his eyes in boredom, suddenly paused.

I saw Shi Jingtian carrying a large bundle of firewood several feet taller than him in his left hand, and walking over with a bag of oily paper bags in his other hand.

Lu Mingtong quickly stretched out his hand and waved it down: "Hero Shi, Hero Shi!"

Hearing someone calling his name, Shi Jingtian looked up, nodded at him, and walked into the lobby.

Lu Mingtong quickly asked Bean Sprout to help him turn over. Not long after, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

When Shi Jingtian came in, the bundle of firewood had disappeared. Seeing Lu Mingtong, he was very happy: "Mr. Lu, why are you still in this inn?"

Lu Mingtong laughed and said, "Why, Daxia Shi wants me to leave quickly?"

"No, no." Shi Jingtian quickly shook his head, and said with a naive smile: "I just saw Mr. Lu's clothes are either rich or expensive, and thought Mr. Lu, you would live inside."

Lu Mingtong coughed and said, "It's a bit late, I'm afraid there are not many vacant rooms inside. Brother Shi has been here for a long time?"

Shi Jingtian nodded: "Yes, it's been more than ten days." As he spoke, he peeled off the oiled paper bag in his hand, revealing a golden roasted chicken dripping with oil, and handed it to the two of them: "Mr. Do you want to eat chicken?"

Lu Mingtong's nose was blocked by the strong fragrance, he took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you, Daxia Shi, we just had dinner, so there's no need."

Shi Jingtian didn't follow up on the politeness, he tore off the chicken leg and started to chew.Lu Mingtong was deeply fascinated by the unruliness exuding from his gestures, almost enviously watching him finish eating a chicken: "Hero Shi, you came so early, why don't you stay in the inn further inside?"

Shi Jingtian said: "The inn inside is expensive, Mr. Lu, if you sleep in it for one night, you can sleep for three nights here. Don't talk about being there, just say that in this inn, I sleep in a inferior room, and I have to help every day. The innkeeper is chopping firewood to mortgage the rent." He frowned: "But after the initial test, the Wulin League will arrange accommodation for you, and then you don't have to worry about it."

Judging from his tone, he was very confident that he could pass the first test.Lu Mingtong thought about it, and he was right. Although he didn't witness the process of catching the thief last time, the thief had passed out when he carried him back. Shi Jingtian's ability should not be far behind.

He moved his body and asked: "Hero Shi, I would like to ask, how many years have you been practicing martial arts?"

This question caused confusion in Shi Jingtian's eyes. He was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't know how many years, but my father has been teaching me martial arts since I can remember. Now, it should be more than 20 years."

Lu Mingtong's eyes shone with envy: "That's great, I really envy you knights, but I'm not a martial arts material. I could howl for a day if my father asked me to do a horse stance since I was a child."

"Everyone has something that suits them." Shi Jingtian was big and muscular. When Lu Mingtong saw him for the first time, he always felt that this person had an angry expression on his face. Now, it seems that there is a kind of indescribable honesty and simplicity.He was lowering his head at the moment, twisting the hem of his coarse cloth clothes, racking his brains to comfort Lu Mingtong: "I believe Mr. Lu must have a very high talent elsewhere, that... even if he can't practice martial arts, Mr. Lu can also learn from literature." , I think Mr. Lu is a good-looking talent, he must be very popular with little girls, hey." He sighed, "I don't even understand what my stupid mouth is talking about."

"Hero Shi doesn't need to say much, I understand everything." Lu Mingtong laughed and said: "In that case, then I wish Hero Shi can become a blockbuster in the martial arts conference!"

Shi Jingtian nodded with a blushing face, raised his cup and saluted him, and suddenly realized something: "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with your waist?"

Seeing that Lu Mingtong was leaning on the recliner and moving around, he thought that Lu Mingtong had suffered a back injury.

Although the actual injured part was not the waist, but if Lu Mingtong wanted to explain to others that his butt was injured, it would be better to kill him with a sword.

Lu Mingtong smiled awkwardly: "Ah, it's okay, I accidentally knocked on it when I woke up this morning."

"Young master Lu rub it more, I still have some medicine for bruises, bring it to Master Lu later." Shi Jingtian glanced left and right for a while, but couldn't help but said: "Actually... Mr. Lu can still practice more basic skills such as horse stance, which is conducive to a solid foundation."

Lu Mingtong: "..."
