The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 107 Years in the Palace 15

The people inside the courtyard were also drawn out by the noise.

When Yao Niang saw Lu Xihan return, she was overjoyed: "Oh, Jiu'er is back! What are you all doing? Why don't you come inside?"

Lu Xihan walked over happily, took her aunt's hand, and said cheerfully, "Father, Mother, look what Da Han and I caught in the mountains."

The young lady was immediately amazed: "Oh, isn't this... a big deer? It's so big, how did you and Da Han carry it back? It must be so heavy!"

“That’s easy. Da Han is strong enough. Mom, let’s move the deer inside first. Everyone else, you can all leave. There’s nothing to see here.”

Despite saying that, Lu Xihan's eyes were still full of pride. She wondered who had made Da Han carry the deer all the way back from the crowded area, just so that everyone could see it.

"Look at how smug she is. She only managed to hunt the deer because of Big Han. How come she's so lucky to have caught Big Han's eye?"

"I wouldn't dare say that, since that person is his savior."

"Tch, she just picked him up, she didn't save him. The doctor is the real benefactor..."

The two people were speaking quite loudly, and made no attempt to hide their conversation from others, as if they were speaking specifically to Lu Xihan.

Lu Xihan didn't even glance at the two of them, and said to Da Han with a smile, "Come on, let's go home. Don't just stand at the door listening to those filthy things spouting vulgarities."

"Ah."

Da Han listened to her and immediately carried the dead deer into the yard, ignoring the people outside.

"Tch, we're not watching anymore! What's so interesting about it? Let's go!"

The girl, who was about the same age as Lu Xihan, angrily dragged her friend away.

Ever since Lu Jiu'er fell into the water last time, her mouth has become even more sharp, and she has become particularly difficult to deal with. They really don't want to mess with her.

"Let's all disperse."

The young lady smiled and told everyone to go home. Meat is something we might not eat even once every ten days or half a month, so there was no way we could share it, let alone such precious venison.

Moreover, Jiu'er is now in charge of the household, and even the old lady can't persuade her in the slightest. Besides, Jiu'er and Da Han hunted the deer together, so it's up to them to make the decisions.

The old woman used to be very stingy, and she could never bear to buy meat to eat. But now that she can eat meat every few days, she naturally listens to Lu Jiu'er in everything. Even if she's just pretending, she has to put on a show.

And now she's all smiles, calling the two of them to go eat. Even her spoiled little aunt is behaving obediently.

In just a few months, she managed to get this family in perfect order, which shows that Lu Xihan is truly capable. After all, she was at least a junior executive in modern times, and she was quite skilled at managing people.

“This deer is really good. After we finish eating, we’ll cut off some more meat and take it to your uncles. They’ve never tasted deer meat before.”

The old woman had been eyeing the deer that had been moved back to the yard for a long time, already thinking about how to divide them up.

Lu Xihan didn't say anything. The old woman's favoritism wasn't a new thing, but her eldest and second uncles were still family, and they hadn't treated their third branch too badly. Sending them some meat was fine, but how much or how little was up to her.

"Mom, let's eat first, or the food will get cold."

Lu San glanced at Lu Jiu'er and Da Han, sighed silently, and said something unusual.

The old woman was overjoyed: "Alright, alright, let's go eat. Little Jiu and Da Han, let's go eat. You two are great heroes today!"

Liu Xingxing didn't know how long they ate or chatted, but she watched as the sky gradually darkened and the moon rose before she saw the Lu couple return to the house, accompanied by Lu Jiu'er, who looked completely at ease, and Da Han, who was always out of it.

Liu Xingxing, who was sitting down, stood up awkwardly when she saw people coming: "Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, you're back. And who are these two?"

The young lady came over and comforted Liu Xingxing, who seemed frightened: "Oh, girl, don't be afraid. This is Jiu'er, your aunt's daughter. The one behind her is called Da Han, he's... Jiu'er's friend, and he also lives with us."

Liu Xingxing carefully sized up Lu Jiu'er, and then politely greeted her, "Hello, Jiu'er sister."

Then her gaze shifted to Da Han behind her. When she looked at his face, her eyes showed a hint of doubt, as if she were looking at him seriously again. Then she exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xu...? It really is you!"

The four of them looked at her in surprise. Lu Jiu'er stepped forward, grabbed Liu Xingxing, and spoke first: "What do you mean? What Brother Xu? You know him?"

"Jiu'er... Jiu'er sister, let go of me first, you're hurting me."

Lu Xihan's grip was indeed strong, but not enough to hurt her. After all, she had already fought through the wilderness alone, but that didn't stop her from putting on this act.

Lu Jiu'er belatedly realized that she had let go of her. She didn't know what was wrong with her, why she reacted so strongly after hearing that someone knew Da Han.

Are you afraid that Da Han will leave...?

"you know me?"

Da Han hardly speaks at all, even more so than Lu San. He has been like this ever since Lu Jiu'er found him, and you can count the number of times he has spoken on your fingers. Perhaps it is because he has lost his memory.

However, he was also very hardworking and could do any kind of physical labor, otherwise his family would not have kept him around. Moreover, when he smiled, he always had a silly look about him, so they called him Da Han (Big Fool).

When Da Han spoke, the other three were surprised again. Liu Xingxing looked at him and nodded seriously: "Yes, I won't mistake you. When I was thirteen or fourteen, my father took me to the capital once. That's when I met you, Brother Xu. You haven't changed much since then."

"But you were fine back then, Brother Xu, not like you are now. What happened?"

"The capital? Oh, girl, don't exaggerate. The capital is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from here. How could someone from the capital be here?"

"I can't be mistaken, he is definitely Brother Xu."

Liu Xingxing spoke with great certainty, and the four of them fell silent.

Lu Jiu'er asked again with an ambiguous expression, "You said you saw him when you were a teenager, so it's possible that it was someone who just happened to look like him?"

"After all, the world is full of wonders. If he really is the person you're talking about, then what's his name, Xu? Where does he live in Beijing, and who else is in his family?"

“My father didn’t have much contact with the Xu family, and I wasn’t very familiar with Brother Xu either, so I don’t know much about Brother Xu’s family. However, I remember that Brother Xu’s surname is Xu, and his given name is Su. His family has quite a few generations, but his parents… passed away many years ago. His family lives in the Shanglin Street area of ​​the northern district of Beijing.”

She made herself clear enough; she was practically giving him her house number.

Shanglin Street is where Xu Su's General's Mansion is located, but she only found out by asking around. Luckily, she did her homework beforehand and didn't expect it to come in handy here.

When Da Han heard "Shanglin Street," his eyes flashed, but then he acted as if nothing had happened, just like the others, full of doubt.

Ok?

While the others didn't notice, Liu Xingxing didn't miss that moment. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Interesting...

It seems her plan will be implemented soon.

Lu Jiu'er stared intently at Liu Xingxing: "You still remember so clearly after all this time, are you really just a casual acquaintance?"

This woman is so beautiful and knows people in the capital. She's not simple. Is she really just here to find her relatives, as her parents said?

Liu Xingxing smiled shyly: "Indeed, I've only met Brother Xu a few times."

That's right. He's never even met him. Xu Su is away fighting battles all year round. Every time he returns to the capital, apart from the victory banquet held for him by the emperor, he never attends any of the other banquets, big or small. Moreover, he never stays in the capital for long. At most, he stays for a month or two before leaving.

Although they had met from afar at the victory celebration banquet in the palace, a general wouldn't stare at a concubine all the time, so she never had the chance to get to know him.

Moreover, it had been several years since they last met, and she had missed the recent celebration banquet due to a headache.
