Rivers and Lakes Records

Xu was tired from the journey, Lu Mingtong planned to sleep until the next day, but was awakened by disturbing knocking on the door.

He opened his eyes in a daze: "Who?"

Lu Jiutian said outside the door: "Master, it's me."

Lu Mingtong supported himself and sat up: "Nine days? What's wrong?"

Lu Jiutian said: "Master, the pulse is not active today."

Lu Mingtong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that since he left Lucheng, he had handed over the work of keeping his pulse alive every day to Jiutian.

Lu Mingtong asked someone to come in, put on a cloak hastily, and sat down.

Lu Jiutian was always taciturn, and he didn't say a word during the training period. Lu Mingtong's head was groggy, and he was not fully awake yet. For a while, the room was silent.

It wasn't until the exercise was completed that Lu Mingtong rubbed his warm wrist, and Lu Jiucai asked in concern, "Master, do you feel better?"

Lu Mingtong pressed his temples, but he couldn't tell if he was getting better: "I don't know...sometimes I will recall some things from my childhood in my dreams, but I can't be sure whether it is a fact or a dream made up by me."

Lu Jiutian's pupils shrank a bit: "Except for childhood, don't you have any memory of recent events?"

Lu Mingtong frowned and thought about it, then slowly shook his head and said, "No."

Lu Jiutian sighed: "This matter is not urgent, young master should take care of it slowly. Before leaving, the genius doctor told me that if the young master's memory tends to recover, I need to reduce the number of pulse activation."

Lu Mingtong nodded and said, "It's not good to act too hastily, I know."

After waking up, there was an unavoidable sense of emptiness in my stomach.After Lu Jiutian left, Lu Mingtong sat at the table for a while, then went to the kitchen to look for food.

The kitchen has already received Madam Lu's order to prepare a table for him to eat.Seeing this, Lu Mingtong finally felt a little better, and after eating all kinds of food, he went for a stroll with his hands behind his back to digest the food.

He walked aimlessly along the path under his feet. When he passed the back garden, he heard rustling voices coming from inside, occasionally mixed with a few women's exclamations. .

Good guy, I saw the back garden was brightly lit and lively like a small meeting. There were a few circles of small stools inside and outside. Mrs. Lu and a few maids around her were sitting around, listening intently The man in the center speaks.

Lu Douya is tall, and Lu Mingtong usually raises his chin when he sees him.At this time, he was standing among the crowd of Yingge Yanyu, his dancing and dancing was really conspicuous.

"The little thief snatched the young master's purse and ran away, and the young master chased after him! It was the purse that the wife embroidered for the young master. If it was lost like this, the young master would blame himself to death! But the little thief was so insidious that he ran away. While overturning the small stall on the side of the road, the young master stepped on something, fell on his back, and immediately distanced himself from the thief. It was too late to speak, and there was an angry shout, and Daxia Shi stepped forward ..."

Lu Mingtong stood there listening for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Ahem!"

They don't sleep at night, so they come here one by one to listen to stories!It's too embarrassing for you to dare to publicize your own wrestling!

Lu Douya immediately fell silent, trembling like a chicken being strangled, "Master..."

He is afraid of Lu Mingtong, but Mrs. Lu is not.This is the most exciting place I just heard, how can I stop and stop?

Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand to beck Lu Mingtong over, then turned her head and asked curiously, "And then?"

Under Lu Mingtong's cannibalistic eyes, Lu Douya spoke quickly and said: "Hero Shi subdued the little thief in two or three tricks, and dragged it to the young master...Young master and Shi Daxia made friends."

Everyone was disappointed, and a maid complained: "Brother Bean Sprout, what you said earlier was so eloquent and careful, but why did it end so hastily in the end, it's not exciting at all."

Lu Douya coughed dryly, "Hero Shi is superb in martial arts, of course that little thief is no match for him, so there is no chance of fighting him."

The maids nodded half-understood, and chattered about Shi Jingtian again.

Mrs. Lu took Lu Mingtong's hand with lingering fear and said caringly: "Tong'er, you didn't fall injured, did you? When you go out in the future, I think you should bring a few more guards."

Lu Mingtong said: "It's just a slight fall, they'll be here for nine days, I'm safe."

After finishing speaking, he scanned the surrounding area: "Mother, why are you interested in listening to Dou Sprout's story here today?"

Mrs. Lu said: "Mother is not worried that you will be in danger outside. So she called Douya to tell me what happened to you all the way out."

Lu Mingtong said: "Mother wants to hear, why not let Tong'er speak in person."

Mrs. Lu patted his head lovingly: "You sleep so soundly in the room, how could mother have the heart to disturb you."

After Lu Mingtong came, Lu Douya felt a little restrained, not daring to exaggerate, and the maids felt boring after hearing all the stories.

Lu Mingtong suddenly remembered that Duan Heng had said to himself that it is necessary to properly recall some past events, maybe it can stimulate the brain and wake up those memories.So he said: "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me about my past, and you will be rewarded for what you say is interesting."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. These are the people who watched him grow up, and they immediately talked about it when they heard the words.

"I remember that the young master ran away from home once when he was a child, saying that he was going to worship the pea yellow vendor at the foot of the mountain as his teacher. When the master found out, he was furious and punished the young master to face the wall and think for two days, and he was not allowed to deliver food. The lady dismissed the master and sent me and Huansha to secretly deliver a lot of food to the young master. Unexpectedly, the young master was so hungry that he ate all the things for the day, his stomach ached, and he cried in the room. But it was loud, and in the end the wife was alarmed, and she was so distressed that she quarreled with the master and wanted to take the young master with her. In the end, the master had to surrender and spared the young master from facing the wall."

"Also, the young master was so good-looking when he was a child. When he went to the Lantern Festival, he was misunderstood as a girl, and he said he wanted to come and kiss her baby!"

"I know one thing too! When the young master first learned how to ride a horse, he felt uncomfortable, so he swayed along with the horse. As a result, his head became even more dizzy. He got off the horse and cried that he had suffered from heat stroke."

The crowd covered their mouths and laughed coquettishly, making a fuss. Lu Mingtong heard them talk about all the stupid things he did when he was a child, and the topic became more and more deviated. Let me mention it again, is there any recent ones? For example, the last two years?"

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "The things about my childhood are so cute. I've forgotten that there are so many fun things. Let them talk more about it."

Lu Mingtong was very depressed when he failed to achieve the plan he wanted, so he patiently listened to Mrs. Lu a few more times, and then hurried away.

He went to the shrine.

"My lord father, please be respected by the child." Putting on the incense stick respectfully, Lu Mingtong supported his body and looked directly at the memorial tablet, and said softly: "My child has been in the rivers and lakes for a year, I wonder if my lord father is safe there? "

"There was nothing wrong with the martial arts conference. I have sent the sample of Fengyun recording to rubbings. Now everyone can buy it and circulate it. Everyone still likes to talk about the topic of Jianghu." Lu Mingtong blinked and said: "I still make friends with you." There are many friends, and it will be smoother to walk in the rivers and lakes in the future. Don't worry about me. As for the mother..." He pursed his lips and said dryly: "The mother is also very good. She often writes letters to the child, and the child also I know that my mother has always missed you in her heart."

"Father, I have been busy running around this year, and I haven't searched carefully for your murderer. I have searched, but I can't find anything that can be regarded as a clue." With both palms on the ground, Lu Mingtong firmly moved towards the tablet. He kowtowed: "If you are alive in heaven, please give me some pointers, and I will definitely find out the real culprit!"

"At that time, I will make him pay for his life!"

A strange cold wind blew outside the door, and the candlelight on the altar trembled uncontrollably and went out.

Lu Mingtong was startled, but immediately calmed down.

This is the ancestral hall of the Lu family. Whether it's the ghosts of the dead or just a coincidence, he doesn't believe that he will encounter danger.

"Father, did you hear my words?" Lu Mingtong clenched his hands tightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely find that man, and I want him to confess the sins he committed in front of your spiritual tablet. Change lives!"

After kowtowing to the memorial tablet again, Lu Mingtong stood up, lit the candle again, cleaned up the remaining ashes, and turned his head to go out.

During the Spring Festival, the young master came back safely, and the whole Lu Family Villa was full of joy. When passers-by came in and out, everyone laughed before saying anything.

Lu Mingtong and the butler directed the servants to hang lanterns and clean the courtyard, while Mrs. Lu watched happily from the side holding the bean cake.

Lu Douya was the tallest, and was sent to post couplets in various courtyards. After a while, Lu Mingtong saw it and laughed loudly: "Where did the cat come from!"

Mrs. Lu couldn't help laughing, Lu Mingtong pulled the aggrieved Lu Douya: "Let's go, let's eat!"

It is a tradition of the Lu family that the New Year's Eve dinner has no status. Five big tables were set up in the hall. Except for the guards who had to be on duty, everyone sat together and raised their glasses to celebrate.

Mrs. Lu sat on the top seat, looked at the joyous atmosphere in the hall with a smile, and said with a smile: "The house hasn't been this lively for a long time."

Lu Mingtong covered her hands, eyes bent into a crescent moon: "Mother likes to be lively, no matter what the day is, just hold a banquet at home, and let everyone arrange a few performances for you, so much fun."

Mrs. Lu was coaxed by his sweet talk, and said with a smile: "It's because it's rare that I'm happy. If I go through such a toss every day, I can't bear it, and I can't afford the account book."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lu Mingtong raised his wine glass and stood up, clasped his hands together and looked around. The smiling faces that caught his eyes were as strange as when he woke up for the first time when he lost his memory.With warmth in his heart, he raised his voice and said, "I have been with you for so many years. In my heart, you are already like relatives. I know that it is everyone who regards the Lu family as their own home in their hearts, so that the Lu family can get through it safely. These years have been ups and downs. I would like to thank you in advance, and in the new year, I hope you can also take care of each other and support each other."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank it all, and said: "I also hope that you will be safe and happy in the coming year, Ming Tong only wishes for this."
