Chapter 269: Visit and meet again

Although the school did not assign any homework, Lu Ran was not idle. He had a clear goal - the Paper Man!

Lu Ran did not dare to delay for even a moment in improving his strength.

He brought Jiang Ruyi with him and called upon his right-hand man Si Xianxian, and under the protection of Chen Jingjing, they slaughtered people in Yanzhi Village.

Si Xianxian was quite dissatisfied about this and didn't know why Lu Ran was crazy!
The college entrance examination is approaching, and instead of practicing formations with your teammates or resting at home, you come here to kill the paper figurines?
What do you mean?
That's what you like. Do you like killing the bride?
Although she secretly complained, but when Lu Ran called her, Si Xianxian naturally followed him happily.

Perhaps because Lu Ran was so famous, the military stationed in the Yanzhi Demon Cave made an exception and gave him 15 days of training time.

Lu Ran finally got what he wanted!

He cultivated the Rouge Paper Evil Sculpture to the third stage of the River Realm and equipped it with the evil technique he had always dreamed of - paper-making!
Of course Lu Ran didn't dare to demonstrate it in front of others. He would wait until he returned to his own nest to study it carefully.

Little raccoon flower, you are blessed again~
Staying with Lu Ran, you can experience all kinds of evil methods.
After the arduous training, Lu Jiang and the others played with Si Xianxian for two days before returning to Yuxiang City.

Poor Sister Xian'er, she is also very humble.

I was forced to work as a laborer for half a month, and the only reward was a "weekend off".
really!

Those who follow Lu Ran are blessed with great fortune~
When Lu Jiang and his companions set foot on the land of their hometown, it was the sixth day of the fifth lunar month.

"Finally home."

Lu Ran stood at the exit of Yuxiang Station, looking at the gloomy sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go." Jiang Ruyi urged in a low voice, tugging at Lu Ran's sleeve.

It's the sixth day of the fifth lunar month and the weather is already very hot.

Everyone else was wearing summer clothes, except for two of them who were wearing training uniforms, and they were also wearing hats and masks, covering themselves tightly.

Such equipment is quite conspicuous, attracting the surrounding tourists to watch secretly.

The two men fled from the train station and ran across a whole street, until the surroundings became deserted.

"There are still 9 days left." Jiang Ruyi looked at the familiar street scene and slowed down his pace.

"Yes, the college entrance examination is coming soon." Lu Ran responded softly.

Jiang Ruyi remained silent. She was not counting down to the college entrance examination.

The two walked for a long time, and she suddenly asked, "Have you decided when to go to Cainan?"

Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until the city is unsealed, on the 19th day of the lunar calendar.

Although Lord Fairy Sheep is very pampering to me, I have been dragging my feet for a month, and it is not good to leave the God alone all the time."

"Yeah." Jiang Ruyi walked with her head down.

So, there are still 13 days left.

"As a memory."

"Ok?"

"Can't bear to leave me?" Lu Ran tilted his head slightly and looked at the girl with a smile.

"Who wouldn't be willing to give it up?" Jiang Ruyi turned her head to look at the street scene in the distance, with a look of hypocrisy.

Lu Ran nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have been killing in Yanzhi Village for half a month.

Staying together day and night, you must be tired of seeing me."

"No way, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Ruyi retorted hurriedly, but was met with Lu Ran's hateful smiling eyes.

Even though he was wearing a mask, she could imagine his teasing expression.

The girl felt embarrassed and annoyed, and immediately quickened her pace.

As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos.

The graceful and elegant Lady Jiang and the calm and composed Commander Jiang always appear different in front of Lu Ran.

Well, it's quite fun~
"Slow down, walk slower." Lu Ran hurriedly followed, muttering, "I don't know how long my legs are."

Jiang Ruyi's face turned even redder, and four white jade tablets quietly appeared around her waist.

"No, don't!" Lu Ran immediately reached out, carefully avoiding the jade plate, and grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Ruyi struggled twice but failed to break free, and the jade pendant around her waist gradually disappeared.

"Wrong, wrong." Lu Ran said hurriedly.

"Hmph." Jiang Ruyi snorted lightly, still looking into the distance.

Jiang Ruyi is a gentle girl who rarely gets angry.

I don’t know what happened today.

Perhaps, as the date of separation draws closer, she is not in a good mood at the thought of being separated for a very long time?

Lu Ran played with her slender white fingers and coaxed her in a soft voice while sending her home.

As the two of them arrived at the Zaishui Yifang community, Lu Ran looked up at Jiang Ruyi's house and said:

"While I'm resting these few days, should I come visit my uncle and aunt?"

Originally, the two had planned that Lu Ran would visit again after the college entrance examination.

It’s no longer possible now. I don’t know when Lu Ran will come back.

"Well, I'll go back and talk to my parents." Jiang Ruyi responded softly.

"Are you not angry anymore?" Lu Ran looked at the girl beside him.

All the way, he was the one talking and she was silent.

"When was I angry?" Jiang Ruyi blinked playfully.

Lu Ran was shocked!

The two of them stood at the entrance of the apartment building, and Lu Ran said dissatisfiedly: "Then why did you let me coax you all the way?"

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi smiled, stretched out her hand, and gently patted Lu Ran's cheek, "Silly."

Lu Ran was completely stunned.

The last time I heard this word was three years ago when I was in the beginning of high school.

At that time, the two people who were not familiar with each other met by chance on the way home from school.
wrong!

The last time I heard this word was in Ghost Moon Mountain in March, in the eyes of the Ghost Moon Fox.

"Go back and have a good rest. I'll text you when there's news." Jiang Ruyi turned around and left with a smile.

When Lu Ran woke up from his memories, the girl had disappeared.

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Lu Ran turned to leave, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the gate of the community, he heard a call:
"Lu Ran?"

"Ah?" Lu Ran had excellent hearing. He turned around and looked up at the ninth floor.

Jiang Ruyi stood at the balcony window and said, "Mom and Dad are at home now." "Ah? Me?" Lu Ran stuttered, obviously not prepared, "Isn't it a bit hasty?"

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran's helpless look and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

She didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Lu Ran hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Okay!"

Hasty?

A little bit, but that’s just the way the world works.

Go to school, worship God, graduate, work, get married and have children in a hurry.

Hasty life, hasty death.

In the backdrop of the evil and chaotic world, no one really knows whether you will be able to see that familiar person tomorrow.

"Wait for me." Lu Ran shouted loudly.

He looked around, found the fruit shop he remembered, and walked over quickly.

A few minutes later, Lu Ran returned to the community with fruits and two boxes of milk.

Jiang Ruyi was already waiting for him downstairs. Seeing him coming, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You do have a plan."

"Hehe~" Lu Ran turned his head and looked behind him.

The Xiaguang Sword and the Jiye Sword crossed and overlapped each other, floating in the air, with two boxes of milk stacked on top.

The two of them walked into the apartment building one after another and took the elevator.

"Don't be nervous, mom and dad have very good personalities."

Jiang Ruyi said softly, taking off Lu Ran's hat and mask, and wiping the sweat from his forehead with one hand: "They like you too."

"That's good." Lu Ran looked at the girl beside him, "You look a little different today."

"Different?" Jiang Ruyi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yeah." Lu Ran nodded, "Somewhat."

"Ding~"

The elevator stopped and slowly opened, interrupting Lu Ran's words.

The door of Room 901 was open, and in front of the door stood a middle-aged woman, about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.

Her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Jiang Ruyi's. She has a good temperament, long hair tied behind her head, and a gentle and loving smile on her face.

"Aunt Zhuang, sorry to bother you." Lu Ran spoke immediately.

Lu Ran knew the general situation of the Jiang family. Jiang Ruyi's mother was named Zhuang Jingyi and she was a judge.

Our first meeting was not as serious as I had imagined.

Jiang's father's name is Jiang Zheng. He is also a civil servant and works in the town government.

It is worth mentioning that the couple are ordinary people.

There is a phenomenon in this world that in certain specific sectors, non-believers constitute the majority.

Having said that, Rain Alley City has encountered various hardships, and escaping from Rain Alley has long been a trend.

Nowadays, many people who still live in this small county town are public servants.

"What else are you carrying, kid?" Zhuang Jingyi looked at Lu Ran with a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Come in quickly."

"Hey." Lu Ran walked forward quickly and let Jiang's mother take the fruit in her hand.

Looking at the man who came to greet him, Lu Ran smiled and nodded: "Hello, Uncle Jiang."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Zheng stretched out his big, generous hand and said with a smile, "It brings honor to my humble home."

Father Jiang wears glasses, is tall and a little fat.

"I dare not, I dare not." Lu Ran hurriedly shook hands with the other party and said modestly.

This time, it was Jiang Ruyi's turn to get slippers for Lu Ran.

"Over there, the shrine is on the south balcony." Jiang Ruyi reminded.

Lu Ran's heart sank.

The god that Jiang Ruyi worships is Yu Fu!

He is the god worshipped by his late father Lu Xing, and also the god Lu Ran has worshipped since he was a child.

"Okay." Lu Ran remained calm, put on his slippers, and walked towards the south balcony.

With his excellent eyesight, he could see from afar a small statue of a god that he was very familiar with standing in the small shrine.

Lu Ran just stopped and felt a surge of emotions in his heart.

Countless childhood memories keep emerging in my mind.

As a child, Lu Ran was extremely respectful to it. He kowtowed to it day and night, and worshipped it devoutly with his father.

Later, this small statue of the god was taken away when his father passed away, and the family no longer had the protection of the gods.

When he was young, Lu Ran was so eager to bring Master Yu Fu back, continue to worship him day and night, and follow in his father's old path.

However, God did not grant what people wished for.

The first day of June last year shattered all his fantasies.

"Lu Ran?" Jiang Ruyi came to Lu Ran and called softly.

"Oh." Lu Ran came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and walked towards the south balcony.

Opening the glass door, Lu Ran smelled the strong aroma of incense.

There were a lot of burnt incense ashes in the small incense burner, and next to the incense burner, there were several plates of fruit.

All of them show the piety of believers.

After many years, Lu Ran stood in front of Yu Fu again.

Xiang is right next to it.

This time, he didn't go to get it.

The prayer mat is right under your feet.

This time, he did not kneel.

Lu Ran looked at the statue of the deity in the small shrine quietly for a long time, then said softly, "Excuse me."

Inside the shrine, the statue of the god is silent and motionless.

Lu Ran lowered his head and smiled, then turned and walked out of the balcony.
