When I returned to the kitchen, it was already evening. The sun, which was only half of its face, was trying hard to display the last bit of warmth, reflecting half of the sky.

Seeing that Dad Xu was still busy in front of the stove, Li Lu couldn't help but walk forward, grabbed Dad Xu's hand with the firewood in, raised his smile and said, "Dad, I'll do it."

Dad Xu looked at Li Lu, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face. He stood up and said, "Have you met Dean Xu?"

Li Lu nodded, squatted down and asked, "What did my dad help Dean Xu back then? How could he agree to your request?"

"What did President Xu tell you?" Old Daddy Xu frowned and seemed to have thought of something. A faint hatred suddenly flashed in his turbid eyes!

"No." Li Lu said bluntly, raised his head and blanched at Dad Xu, "I'm not stupid, I guessed it with my nose."

"Don't ask too much, kid!" Dad Xu obviously didn't want to mention this too much. His slightly hunched back looked particularly old. Don't look at Dad Xu's trembling, he was actually only in his forties or fifties!

Seeing that Mr. Xu refused to say much, Li Lu was polite and did not ask. He kept setting fires honestly. Not long after, Mr. Xu took out the leftover food from the cupboard and poured it into the pot and stir-fry it, and put it on the table.

Today, it was a dry fight and a hunting mountain. Li Lu was so hungry that he had been holding his back. Although it was just cold dishes and cold rice, it tasted relish. After a meal, both father and son remained silent.

After dinner, Li Lu took the initiative to pack up the dishes. When Mr. Xu saw that he was becoming filial, he allowed him to go. He walked into the room alone and took out an exquisite wooden box and placed it on the clean table.

Li Lu washed the dishes and saw Dad Xu touching the wooden box with a sad face, and walked up curiously, "What is this?"

"This is left by your biological mother." Dad Xu said softly, as if he was trapped in memories. After a long time, he smiled bitterly, opened the box, and took out a smooth jade pendant that was only three fingers wide from it.

"Do you mother?" Li Lu murmured, feeling particularly unfamiliar with this noun.

"You have grown up and will set off for Qingyi Gate soon. This is your mother's thing and should be handed over to you." Dad Xu handed the jade pendant to Li Lu and said, "Qingyi Gate is not as good as the home. If you are lucky enough to be selected, you must keep your tails in it and be a human being! You can talk less and do more, and your irritable temperament can be changed!"

"Yes." Li Lu responded honestly. Although there was still one month left, when he saw that what Mr. Xu said seemed to be separated from life and death, he felt inexplicably melancholy. After taking the jade pendant handed over by Mr. Xu, Li Lu took a careful look. The jade was green and oval. The clean jade body was engraved with a "名" font, tied with a strap that looked like gold but not gold. Just one look, Li Lu subconsciously felt that this was absolutely extraordinary, and then felt a faint constant temperature transmitted from the jade body, which made him more sure of his thoughts.

Putting away the jade pendant, Li Lu asked curiously: "Dad, how did you meet my mother and me back then?"

"That was back then--" Dad Xu pondered, then sighed again.

Li Lu knew that Dad Xu was about to say something, so he pricked up his ears and waited quietly for Dad Xu to speak.

Mr. Xu slowly said, "Fifteen years ago, it was almost this time. I met your mother who was unconscious by the river and you who were still crying in your cradle. I thought to myself that in the wilderness, it was not a solution to keep your orphans and widows on the mountain. So I brought you two back, but... the next day your mother left, wrote down your name and left you here alone. I didn't even know what your mother's name was. Seeing that you were cute, I took it in - I didn't expect that the older you were, the more naughty you became, and I was really tired and harder my old bones."

When Dad Xu was so moved, Li Lu couldn't help but sigh, feeling worthless for Dad Xu, shook his head and sighed: "I didn't meet me, so I wasn't so unbearable, right? But, Dad, why are you going to the riverside?"

When Li Lu asked this, Dad Xu immediately became embarrassed and kept silent without mentioning anything with a strange look on his face. Li Lu became suspicious and knew that there must be a story in it, so he stared at Dad Xu with his eyes hotly.

After a long silence, Mr. Xu was unable to see him by Li Lu. He looked willing to go out and coughed dryly, "Peek at Cuihua in our town to take a bath."

"Peeling Aunt Cuihua's bath?" Li Lu immediately became energetic when he heard this. He still knew about Cuihua. Mr. Xu had always had contact with him. Every morning Aunt Cuihua would bring vegetables.

Speaking of the ridiculous things when he was young, Dad Xu couldn't help but blush. Seeing Li Lu even more exaggeratedly, he immediately raised his hand and pretended to be very angry.

Li Lu laughed, and then he ran away with oil.

——

It's night.

Li Lu lay on the bed, holding the jade pendant in a daze. He tried to identify the jade pendant, but the system did not find out anything about it. He felt even more curious about the biological mother who abandoned him.

Li Lu hung the jade pendant around his neck, and a warm breath came from his chest.

"It's good to use it for heating in winter." Li Lu closed his eyes as he thought to himself.

As soon as he had the idea of ​​going to sleep, a rectangular confirmation box appeared in the void.

"Have you entered the state of insidious cultivation?"

Li Lu was stunned and burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, he activated the upgrade system and even brought this function. [Submersible cultivation status] is equivalent to the offline environmental protection practice of the game. It will be found in most games in previous lives, and the games played by Li Lu are no exception.

However, you can get the experience when sleeping with your eyes closed, and only a fool will refuse.

Li Lu immediately yelled, closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after.

I don’t know how long it has passed, but the jade pendant hanging around my neck is shining by the moonlight. The "名" font carved from the jade body emits a hazy golden light. Gradually, the golden light becomes more dazzling, and the room that falls into the darkness is illuminated instantly. The jade body also changes from blue to a flame-like color, extremely hot.

"Ah——" Li Lu screamed in shock, without any sleepiness, and felt a special pain in his chest. However, before he could take a closer look, a small mouthful of the hot jade pendant was scalded open on his chest, and the blood flowed out and sucked it all over the jade pendant. Li Lu subconsciously reached out to grab it, but it was burned so hard that the skin was blooming. The jade pendant was like a leech, sucking firmly on his chest.

"Dad, you've caused me a lot..." Li Lu thought to himself that he had finished the trip, and he was about to die before he could enjoy it.

However, at this moment, something even more strange happened! The blood-sucking jade pendant fluctuated greatly, and the gold and red alternated, making it very dazzling. A small mouth suddenly opened in Li Lu's chest, and the jade pendant slowly slid in.

"Is this jade pendant a ghost who takes over my body to seize my body, right?"

Li Lu, sweating profusely, was thinking about it all, his head suddenly felt like a torn, his hands and feet were numb, and his whole body could not move. After a long time, the strange light gradually subsided, and the jade pendant completely entered Li Lu's chest. If he could look inside like a monk in the Qi Condensation Realm, he would definitely find that the jade pendant was tightly attached to his heart...

"Aren't you dead?"

After some torture, Li Lu, who felt dizzy in his head, completely fainted.
