In the wooden house in the back mountain, Lin Yiyi prepared a table of dishes, in addition to some home-cooked dishes, there were also homemade snowflake cakes and mung bean cakes.

The greedy Lu Qingtian sat down and wanted to eat: "Where is Li Jingren?"

Lin Yiyi rolled her sleeves and carried them behind her back to clean up the dishes and the stove. She was so busy that she opened her mouth to respond: "Senior brother will come later, you can eat first."

Lu Qingtian was always blunt, took a bite of mung bean crisps, caught a glimpse of Deni's eyes fixed on Lin Yiyi: "Deni, Lingshan faction reboots."

Deni withdrew his lewd gaze, looked at Lu Shunan, and did not explain. He saw that Lin Yiyi was Xiao Zai's disciple in the previous life - the person who introduced the poisonous epidemic to Fengfo Kingdom.

But in this life, Lin Yiyi is just an ordinary female disciple of the Lingshan School.

Lu Qingtian: "Don't you have a taste?"

"I'll wait for Brother Li." Although Deni has been up the mountain for several days, but in view of the grievances in the previous life, he has never spoken to Lin Yiyi, so it is a bit strange to suddenly come to have a meal.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Jing came. He hurried in to drink some water, then collapsed on the seat, holding a firewood fan to cool himself down.

Lu Qingtian: "What are you doing? You're so tired."

Li Jing was wiping his sweat, when he heard this, he squinted at Deni: "Ask him."

Deni: "The Lingshan faction is reforming, and Li Jing went to direct those strong men to work. But why are you so tired as a commander?"

Li Jing: "The strong men you're looking for are quite strong, but they move too slowly. I almost died of anxiety. If it weren't for me, when would the dilapidated houses in front of the mountain be repaired?"

Deni gave him a thumbs up and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Li has worked hard, there is a lot of food here, hurry up and try it."

He said this as if he cooked all the dishes on this table.

Lu Qingtian: "Why do you suddenly want to transform?"

Li Jing: "It's not that this son from the Western Regions spends money to improve the Lingshan School, and thinks our place is poor."

Deni: "Brother Li's words are serious. I don't dislike them. I just think it could be better." As soon as he finished speaking, the chair he was sitting on shattered with a "squeak" sound. It was really broken, like mud Lie peacefully on the ground.

Li Jing sat at the side, reflexively going to help, but found that the person sitting in this rotten chair didn't fall down, and there wasn't even ash on his buttocks.

It seems that someone seems to be sitting, but is actually doing zama stance.

Deni: "Hehe, I'm joking." He stood up and said, "I think, why don't we eat in another place."

His expression was relieved, as if he finally said what he had been holding back for a long time.

Water drops fell on Lu Shunan's arm, and when he looked up, he suddenly felt that this small wooden house was probably going to be destroyed.

The little prince of the Western Regions seemed to be more intolerable than him, so he went out and called a few strong men to move a table of vegetables and pastries to a courtyard in front of the mountain.

This courtyard house is decorated like a troupe's home.

The shopkeeper is seeing off the guests, this scene is a bit familiar.

Lu Qingtian: "What's the situation?"

Deni: "I heard that the Lingshan school can't afford to open food, so I brought up the one you went down to eat."

Hearing this, Jiang Lingshan can't afford to eat anything.

Li Jingbai glanced at the prince of the Western Regions, and thought: This is definitely an upstart...

Lu Qingtian got up and went to the counter, intending to pay first.

The shopkeeper: "Mr. Deni has already given the money in advance."

Lu Qingtian took back the money: "I have something to ask you."

Shopkeeper: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Lu Qingtian: "How many years have you opened a shop at the foot of the mountain?"

Shopkeeper: "It's been more than twenty years, what's wrong?"

Lu Qingtian looked around for no one, and then said leisurely: "Then do you still remember when the Lu family was wiped out a few years ago?"

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper's face became a little ugly, and his eyes avoided for a moment: "I vaguely remember." After speaking, in order to appear calm and have a focus in his eyes, he lowered his head and went to pick up the tea leaves, but the picker When I was there, my hands were shaking very badly.

Lu Qingtian: "Looking at your reaction, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper's face turned pale, as if he remembered something bad, his legs became weak, and he fell down on the wooden bench.

Lu Qingtian was not in a hurry to urge him to say, after waiting for a while, the shopkeeper came over a bit, and said in a low tone: "I did see it."

"At noon that day, I went around looking for Xiaoer to go home for dinner. I heard from his partner that he had hid in Lu's house, so I hurried over."

"At that time, a lot of officers and soldiers surrounded the gate of Lu's house. I tried to go in to find someone, but was stopped."

"Hey, I'll never forget what happened that day, because... my baby died too."

The shopkeeper's voice became sad: "I still can't figure out why, he is obviously not from the Lu family... How could it be, how could he kill himself?"

Lu Qingtian: "Sorry..."

The shopkeeper: "It's okay, it's all over, but it's still hard to accept in retrospect."

Lu Qingtian: "The corpse..."

The shopkeeper: "Thanks to the help of General Li who brought it out back then, otherwise my child's body would probably have been buried in a mass grave."

Lu Qingtian: "Has anyone done an autopsy?"

Shopkeeper: "Inspected."

Lu Qingtian: "Apart from the wound on the neck, is there anything else?"

Shopkeeper: "I really want to hear what they say about wood or arrows, I don't really understand."

Lu Qingtian: "Poison arrow wood?"

Shopkeeper: "Yes, yes, this is it."

Lu Qingtian: "Apart from this, have you found out what he ate?"

The shopkeeper's gaze was a little distracted, and he thought for a long time before he suddenly remembered something: "Yes, he went to Lu's house at that time, and he seemed to have eaten grapes imported from the Western Regions."

Lu Qingtian: "Well, why do you insist that your son committed suicide like the Lu family, instead of being killed by him? Don't you find it strange?"

The shopkeeper: "I... I saw that they had injuries on their necks, and everyone said so, so..."

Lu Qingtian: "Apart from these, do you still remember what happened at that time?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a while, but he didn't seem to remember any information, so he shook his head.

Lu Qingtian: "If you remember anything, you must tell me. Thank you."

The shopkeeper: "Okay, I will tell you what I remember. Is there something hidden about my son's death?"

Lu Qingtian acquiesced, did not answer, and turned back to his seat.

The dishes on the table were almost eaten, and the four of them sat and chatted while eating.

Lu Qingtian: "Deni."

Deni was peeling a shrimp and putting it into Li Jing's bowl, when he heard this, he raised his eyes slightly: "Huh? Brother Lu, do you want it too?"

Lu Qingtian: "Let me ask you something, where are the grapes from the Western Regions generally sold?"

Deni: "Grapes from the Western Regions? They are generally very expensive, and they should be bought by wealthy families."

Lu Qingtian thought back then that the Lu family had already fallen, how could they still buy a lot of grapes from the Western Regions?Can it be eaten by everyone up and down?

He felt that the Lu family definitely did not commit suicide in fear of crime, but scratched their necks after being poisoned.

Could it be that the grapes were soaked in curare wood?

According to the information we have, only the Yi family and the Wang family were richer at that time. Could it be that someone sent a box of grapes that day, because the relationship is very good, so the Lu family ate them all without thinking too much?That's why he was poisoned to death?

He remembered reading a certain book about poison arrow wood, also known as blood seal throat, which usually grows in the rainforest. It is a highly poisonous plant with white milk. It takes effect very quickly and can suffocate the poisoned person instantly.

The one who killed the Lu family must be a very ruthless person who would use this kind of poison to kill people quickly!After taking people's lives, they cut their necks open one by one!

What kind of deep hatred can do this?

The shopkeeper's child probably died of poisoning after eating the highly poisonous grapes from the Western Regions by mistake, and then he was pretended to be a member of the Lu family and slashed his neck to pretend to commit suicide.

Seeing Lu Qingtian's serious expression, Deni asked again with concern: "Why do you ask like that all of a sudden?"

Lu Qingtian: "Nothing."

Deni: "I peeled another shrimp, do you want to?"

Lu Qingtian: "Leave it alone."

President Lu, who is used to being served, would probably never eat shrimp if Deni hadn't peeled one for him.

Seeing that there were still a few shrimps in Li Jing's bowl, he wondered, "Why did you peel so many for him?"

Deni: "After all, I asked Brother Li to help direct the strong man. It made him tired, so naturally I have to reward him."

Lu Qingtian: "Oh, then you can peel some more for me by the way."

Deni: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi who peeled the shrimp by herself: "..." She shouldn't be here.

Deni: "Little sister, do you want me to strip it for you?"

Lin Yiyi quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no need, I'll just peel it off myself."

The female disciples at the other table who were eavesdropping turned slightly to look at Deni who was peeling shrimp.

Denis noticed the gazes of the female disciples and smiled at them. The female disciples instantly looked away and buried their heads in their meals with flushed faces.

Witnessing this scene, Lu Qingtian shook his head, he suddenly felt that Deni looked like an animal—a peacock, it really spread its tail everywhere.

Deni peeled off one for Lu Qingtian and another for Li Jing, which seemed fair.

On the surface, Li Jing was fine, but seeing more and more shrimps on his plate, and Lu Qingtian's plate was less than half of his, his face suddenly turned red: "You don't need to peel it, you can eat your own."

But Lu Qingtian didn't intend to let him go: "Li Jing won't eat it, so peel it off for me."

Li Jing: "You are really kind!"

Of course Lu Qingtian was embarrassed: "Deni didn't complain, what did you say?"

Deni: "..."

Why did these two quarrel.

Li Jing: "Aren't you chasing the master? You go and let the master strip it to you."

Lu Qingtian: "What logic? According to you, Deni peeled the shrimp for you because you were chasing him?"

Li Jing choked: "..." This logic is really not right, he thought for a while and said: "Then you should peel the shrimp for the master."

Lu Qingtian: "Why should I peel the shrimp for him?"

Li Jing: "Don't you like him?"

Lu Qingtian: "Na Deni peeled the shrimp for you because he likes you?"

Deni: "..."

There was a honeyed silence at the dining table, Li Jing saw that Deni didn't say a word, his little face flushed redly: "Lu Shunan, you really like nonsense!"

Lu Qingtian: "??? It's your logic problem."

Li Jing: "..."

Deni just finished peeling one, he hesitated for a while whether to clip it to Lu Qingtian.

Lu Qingtian tapped the plate with his chopsticks very consciously, meaning: "Bring it over after peeling it off."

Then a pink and tender shrimp fell into President Lu's mouth again, and he expressed his satisfaction with Deni's service.

Lu Qingtian: "Yes, continue."

Deni: "...".

Li Jing's expression seemed to say: You have to show some face, Deni doesn't know you that well, does he?It's really embarrassing for you to keep asking others to peel the shrimp.

Lu Qingtian didn't pay attention to his stinky face, he was still thinking about how to investigate the Lu family's affairs, he still had to go down the mountain secretly these few days, and he just came back before Haishi.

It happened that he learned how to control the sword during the few days of confinement, and it was more convenient to travel.

When the last shrimp was stuffed into Lu Shunan's mouth, he chewed a few mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks.

I am quite satisfied with the food.

Li Jing went to settle the bill, and the four left slowly, and then went back to their respective homes, each looking for its own mother.
