Chapter 116 Both
After breakfast, Lu He prepared to go home, back to his hometown.
The wizard tower in his hometown has been built. It was funded by his cheap father-in-law Li Zhong, and coordinated and built by Zhou Wei and Li Tao.
He didn't plan to run around in the next period of time, so he stayed there to do various preparations.
He used to be cautious about going abroad, but now he has no taboos and just does what he wants.
Wang Ke is now very close to him, so naturally she will go with him, and Li Si is waiting for him at the airport.
The other two knights will come in a few days.
After breakfast, the two said hello to Wang Guangwen, who was still in a daze, and then Wang Ke drove her newly bought luxury car to the airport with Lu He and the gifts she bought yesterday.
As soon as he arrived at the airport, he saw Li Si standing at the door.
Wang Ke was very obedient. He stepped forward first, handed Li Si a small bag, and called sweetly: "Sister Li Si~"
Li Si's beautiful eyes were wide open, she glared at Lu He, took Wang Ke's gift, and walked to the waiting room with her hand.
Lu He was indifferent and followed them naturally.
When they arrived at the waiting room, they saw the two of them talking quietly together. He didn't know what they were talking about. He didn't deliberately eavesdrop. If he knew everything, life would be boring.
Then he saw two people coming over, one of them took Lu He's hand and leaned on him.
But in this way, the three of them became the focus of the waiting room, especially some young men who were full of blood and looked at the two beauties, and the envy in their eyes automatically flowed out.
Lu He smelled the different breaths on the two people, performed a concealment spell, closed his eyes slightly, and entered the eye of inheritance.
...
After getting off the plane, he got into Li Tao's car and went to Xiaolu Village.
"Wang Ke, thank you for helping me cancel the Eagle Federation's wanted notice for me." Li Tao said with a smile in the car.
"It's okay, it's just a small matter." Wang Ke waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Hehe, that's right. Now we and Lao Qiao are all a family. I'll go to him for a drink and get in touch with him when I have time another day." Li Tao smiled.
He was very proud because he successfully squeezed out Zhou Wei and took the position yesterday. Now he is the director of the Chinese branch of the Aid Society, and he is on equal footing with Lao Qiao.
"Did you beat Zhou Wei down?" Li Si asked curiously.
She knew about this matter. The two had been arguing, and then they found her. Li Si and Lu He had been together for a long time and became very direct. Let them fight, whoever wins will be the winner.
"Of course, let him not be able to beat me with a single gun."
The fact is that Li Tao gave up the golden cannon, but not the Liuhe gun, and Zhou Wei gave up with his bare hands.
Li Tao was very proud. Excluding the president and the dog, in terms of strength, he felt that he could rank in the top three in the Aid Society.
"Lu He, Changyang has changed so much!" Wang Ke sighed as he looked out the window.
The two-way eight-lane asphalt road, the county town is clean and tidy, and the unfinished buildings in the shantytowns are gone.
Many public facilities such as libraries, stadiums, square parks, etc. have been newly built, and there is even a small airport and high-speed rail station under construction.
"This place is basically different every day." Li Tao was very touched by this.
He really saw in reality what it means that when one person succeeds, everyone else will benefit.
Although he himself is also one of the others.
When he first came here, it was just a shabby little county town. Then some people heard that Lu He would settle here later, so they started to build infrastructure without considering the cost.
If he hadn't asked Lu He and stopped them, those high-speed rail stations and airports might have been built directly to Xiaolu Village.
"Just let them do it." Lu He was also speechless about this.
He looked at the scenery outside the window and estimated that it would take 20 minutes to get to Xiaolu Village. In the past, he would drive for an hour every time.
"What's even more speechless is that they wanted to hold a welcome ceremony, but I drove them away."
...
The entrance of the village.
Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, and some elders in the village have been sitting at the door chatting since morning, just to wait for Lu He.
"Has Xiaohe become a high-ranking official?"
"Nonsense, with such a short time, he can't even pass the civil service exam, how can he be a high-ranking official?"
"Besides, being a high-ranking official doesn't mean you can just get paid like this, you have to run a sewing machine, I think he must have become rich overnight and become a billionaire." Aunt Lin analyzed.
"I watched this child grow up, he has been sensible and smart since he was a child, I know he will definitely become rich one day."
"I can see it too!"
"How do you see it, you can also tell fortunes?"
"It's not fortune-telling, it's that every time Xiaohe passes by the loudspeaker at the door, the magpies in the family above stop calling."
"You know all this?!"
"Alas, Xiaohe is successful now, and he has made his grandparents proud, but it's a pity that they died too early and couldn't enjoy this blessing." Aunt Four said with regret.
"If they knew about this, they should be relieved. Before they left, they missed Lu He the most."
"Let's not talk about this. It's a bit sad. They suffered all their lives. Alas, it's fate."
"That tower is pretty." The third uncle changed the subject and pointed to the back.
"It's pretty." Aunt Lin agreed with his point of view.
"It's pretty, it's blacker than the charcoal in my stove, and it looks weird. You think it's beautiful because it's made of gold." The fourth uncle exposed this group of people.
The aunt and uncle immediately looked at the tall tower in the woods in the distance. It was all black and had a square dome.
In fact, this wizard tower is similar to the wizard tower in the redwood rainforest, but it's taller and bigger.
From their aesthetic point of view, it is indeed very dark and strange, but it is made of tons of gold and silver. In their eyes, it is not a tower, but a mountain made of money.
"Ah! Brother Xiaohe is back!" Lu Bo, who was sent to the intersection to keep an eye on him, suddenly rushed in and roared.
The aunts and uncles were startled, turned their heads, and saw Lu He walking into the small courtyard.
"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Aunt Lin..."
Lu He greeted them one by one, and he felt a sense of intimacy when looking at these elders.
"Oh, Xiaohe, you are finally back."
"Xiaohe, come and sit down."
"You are still so thin, why don't you eat more." Fourth Aunt took Lu He's hand and looked at him and blamed him.
"I eat a lot, and my physique is like this." Lu He explained that he did not intentionally control it, and it was the Flame Demon blood that automatically transformed the body shape that best suited him.
"Auntie, this is the health care product that we and Lu He prepared for you. It is good for your health and can prolong your life."
Li Si and Wang Ke carried many packaged gift boxes in their hands and distributed them to the elders present.
"Oh, what other gifts did you bring?" Fourth Aunt wiped her hands on her body and took it in a hurry.
"It's too expensive. How can I be embarrassed."
Third Uncle took a look and found that it was ginseng bird's nest, and some of them he didn't recognize. He was a little flustered.
"Thank you, thank you, the little girl is so beautiful."
"Don't post it yet, sit down and have some tea and rest. You must be tired after a day's journey."
The more Aunt Lin looked at the two little girls, the more beautiful they looked. They were like big stars in TV dramas, with good temperament and generous people. So she asked Lu He curiously:
"Xiao He, which one is your girlfriend?"
"Uh...both of them." Lu He suddenly felt embarrassed.
Aunt Lin:...
Fourth Aunt:...
Lu Bo:...
The small courtyard was quiet, just suddenly.
"Two is good, good things come in pairs." Aunt Lin blushed, and she managed to say this for a long time.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Good, good, good!"
"Awesome!"
Lu Bo was slapped hard by his fourth uncle.
The small courtyard began to be lively again.
In the evening.
After the three of them finished their meal, they walked on the clean and tidy country road to the old house, where they would spend the night.
"Lu He, the environment here is so beautiful!"
"These elders are so enthusiastic. I ate three bowls of rice and I was so full!"
"Sister Sisi, I also ate three bowls."
"Yes, it's beautiful."
The evening breeze blew, and the small flowers and crops all over the mountains swayed. At the corner, a tall locust tree was as quiet as when I was a child.
The whole field was filled with a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.
Lu He looked at this extremely familiar environment and suddenly had an urge to stay.
Maybe the evil god would not come at all?
Maybe he would not bother to pay attention to it if he came?
Lu He shook his head and led the two into his old house.
Nothing in the room was moved, it was still the same, but it was cleaned very cleanly without a speck of dust.
After Li Si and Wang Ke came in, they walked around, wanting to see what the place where Lu He grew up looked like.
Three rooms, a small yard, a table and a few chairs.
An old, worn-out freezer with a sense of age in the kitchen, plus pots and pans.
A rusty black stove that burned wood in the yard.
A bed in the bedroom.
And that was it.
The two knew that Lu He had a hard life when he was a child, but they didn't expect it to be so hard, and they felt sour in their hearts.
