Chapter 271

Although the school didn't assign homework, Lu Ran wasn't idle; he had a clear goal—the Lady Lady Yanzhi Person!

Regarding improving his strength, Lu Ran didn't dare to delay for a moment.

He took Jiang Ruyi, called his capable assistant Si Xianxian, and under Chen Jingjing's protection, went on a killing spree in Rouge Village.

Regarding this, Si Xianxian still had complaints, not knowing what kind of madness Lu Ran was having!

Approaching the college entrance exam, you don't follow your teammates to practice formations, or rest and recuperate at home, but instead come to kill Lady Lady Yanzhi People again?

What's the meaning of this?

Just like this, like killing brides?

Although she complained secretly, Lu Ran called her, and Si Xianxian naturally followed him happily.

Perhaps because Lu Ran was famous, this time, the military guarding the Lady Lady Yanzhi demon cave made an exception and gave him 15 days of training time.

Lu Ran finally got his wish!

He cultivated the Lady Lady Yanzhi Evil Sculpture to the River Estuary Realm, Third Stage, and equipped the long-awaited Evil Technique, Paper Craft!

Lu Ran naturally didn't dare to display it in front of others, just waiting to return to his little nest to study it carefully.

Little Li Hua has blessings again~

Staying by Lu Ran's side, it can taste all kinds of Evil Techniques...

After the arduous training ended, Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi accompanied Si Xianxian to play wildly for two days before returning to Rain Alley City.

Poor Sister Xian'er was also very humble.

Being dragged to be a coolie, working hard for half a month, the reward was only a "weekend"...

Sure enough!

Those who follow Lu Ran have great blessings~

When Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi stepped on the land of their hometown, it was the sixth day of the fifth lunar month.

"Finally back."

Lu Ran stood at the exit of Rain Alley Station, looking at the hazy sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

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

The sixth day of the fifth lunar month, the weather was already very hot.

Others were all in summer clothes, only the two were in combat uniforms, and they were wearing hats and masks, wrapped tightly.

Such equipment was quite conspicuous, attracting other passengers to secretly watch.

The two left the train station as if fleeing, running for a full street before the surroundings became quiet.

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

"Yeah, the college entrance exam is coming." Lu Ran responded softly.

Jiang Ruyi remained silent; what she was counting was not the countdown to the college entrance exam.

The two walked for a long time, and she suddenly asked: "Have you booked which day to go to Cainan?"

Lu Ran thought for a while and said: "After the city is unsealed, the 19th of the lunar month.

Although Lord Fairy Sheep spoils me, I've dragged it for a month, and leaving the God hanging all the time isn't very good."

"Mm..." Jiang Ruyi walked with her head lowered.

So that means there are 13 days left.

"Ruyi."

"Mm?"

"Can't bear to part with me?" Lu Ran tilted his head slightly, looking at the girl with a smile.

"Who can't bear to part." Jiang Ruyi turned to look at the street scene in the distance, looking insincere.

Lu Ran nodded in agreement: "Also, we killed for half a month in Rouge Village.

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

"No way, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Ruyi hurriedly retorted, but saw Lu Ran's detestable smiling eyes.

Even though she was covered by a mask, she could imagine his teasing expression.

The girl felt shy and annoyed in her heart, and immediately quickened her pace.

As the saying goes, care leads to chaos.

The generous and elegant Jiang Meiren, the steady and calm Commander Jiang, in front of Lu Ran, was always another look.

Hmm... quite fun~

"Slow down, slow down." Lu Ran hurriedly followed, muttering, "Don't know how long your legs are..."

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

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

Jiang Ruyi struggled twice gently, didn't break free, and the jade stone tablets at her waist gradually dissipated.

"My bad, my bad." Lu Ran said hurriedly.

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

The gentle Jiang Ruyi really rarely got angry.

Don't know what's wrong today.

Perhaps, as the date of separation approached, thinking about being separated for a long, long time, her mood wasn't very good?

Lu Ran played with her slender, fair fingers, and while sending her home, he whispered and coaxed her.

As the two arrived at the Zai Shui Yi Fang residential area, Lu Ran looked up at Jiang Ruyi's house and said:

"Taking advantage of these few days of rest, should I come to visit your uncle and aunt?"

Originally, the two had set it for after the college entrance exam, when Lu Ran would visit.

Now it wouldn't work; when Lu Ran comes back again, who knows when that will be.

"Mm, I'll go back and talk to Mom and Dad." Jiang Ruyi responded softly.

"Not angry anymore?" Lu Ran looked at the girl beside him.

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

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

Lu Ran was shocked!

The two stood at the entrance of the unit building, and Lu Ran said dissatisfiedly: "Then you let me coax you the whole way?"

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi's eyes contained a smile, she reached out and gently patted Lu Ran's cheek, "Silly."

Lu Ran was completely stunned.

The last time he heard this word was three years ago, when he first entered high school.

At that time, the two who weren't familiar yet met by chance on the way home from school...

No!

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

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

When Lu Ran woke up from his memories, the girl was long gone.

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

Lu Ran turned to leave, but he didn't expect that just as he walked out of the residential area gate, he heard a call:

"Lu Ran?"

"Ah?" Lu Ran's hearing was excellent, he turned and looked up at the ninth floor.

Jiang Ruyi stood at the balcony window and said: "Mom and Dad are home now."

"Ah? Me?" Lu Ran stammered, obviously not prepared, "Isn't it a bit rushed?"

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

She didn't speak, just looked at him like that.

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

Rushed?

Indeed a bit, but the way this world runs is "rushed."

Rushed schooling, worshiping Gods, graduation, work, marriage, and having children.

Rushed birth, rushed death.

Against the backdrop of the demon-ridden world, really no one knows if you will be able to see that familiar person tomorrow.

"Wait for me." Lu Ran shouted loudly.

He looked left and right, found the fruit shop in his memory, and walked over quickly.

A few minutes later, Lu Ran returned to the residential area carrying fruit and two boxes of milk.

Jiang Ruyi was already waiting for him downstairs, and seeing him walk over, she couldn't help but laugh: "You have tricks."

"Hehe~" Lu Ran turned to look behind him.

The Radiant Blade and the Silent Night Blade were crossed and overlapped, floating in mid-air, and the two boxes of milk were stacked on top of them.

The two walked into the unit building one after another and took the elevator.

"Don't be nervous, Mom and Dad have very good personalities."

Jiang Ruyi said softly, took off Lu Ran's hat and mask, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand: "They also like you very much."

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

"Different?" Jiang Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Mm." Lu Ran nodded, "A bit..."

"Ding~"

The elevator stopped steadily and opened slowly, 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 were somewhat similar to Jiang Ruyi's, her temperament was very good, her long hair was tied behind her head, and a gentle and loving smile was on her face.

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

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

The first meeting was not as serious as he had imagined.

Jiang's father was named Jiang Zheng, and he was also a public servant, working in the town government.

It is worth mentioning that the couple were both ordinary people.

In this world, there is a phenomenon where in certain specific departments, non-believers make up the majority.

Speaking of which, Rain Alley City has suffered various hardships, and fleeing Rain Alley has long been a trend.

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

"You child, why bring things." Zhuang Jingyi smiled and examined Lu Ran, her voice very gentle, "Come in quickly."

"Eh." Lu Ran stepped forward quickly, letting Jiang's mother take the fruit in his hands.

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

"Good, good." Jiang Zheng stretched out his broad and thick hand and laughed, "My humble home is honored."

Jiang's father wore glasses, was tall, and was slightly overweight.

"Don't dare, don't dare." 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 Jiang Ruyi worshiped was Master Yu Fu!

It was the God his late father Lu Xing worshiped, and also the God Lu Ran had worshiped since he was a child.

"Good." Lu Ran remained calm on the surface, put on the slippers, and walked toward the south balcony.

With his excellent eyesight, he saw from afar that in the small shrine stood a small God Statue he was incomparably familiar with.

Lu Ran stopped his steps just like that, a wave of emotions surging in his heart.

Countless childhood memories kept emerging in his mind.

The young Lu Ran was incomparably respectful to it, kowtowing day and night, worshiping devoutly with his father.

Later, this small God Statue was taken away after his father passed away, and there was no God's protection in the house anymore.

The teenage Lu Ran had once been so eager, wanting to bring Lord Master Yu Fu back, continue to worship day and night, and follow his father's old path.

Alas, heaven did not fulfill his wishes.

June 1st of last year shattered all his fantasies.

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

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

Pulling open the glass door, Lu Ran smelled a strong scent of incense.

In the small incense burner, there were many burnt-out incense ashes. Beside the incense burner, several plates of fruit were offered.

All indicated the believer's piety.

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

The incense was right beside him.

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

The kneeling mat was right under his feet.

This time, he didn't kneel.

Lu Ran looked quietly at the God Statue in the small shrine, and after a long time, said softly: "Sorry to disturb you."

Inside the shrine, the God Statue was silent.

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