Chapter 20 Future Planning
Soon, Lu Ping brought Xiao Yuer to Widow Shi's house and explained the changes in her work to her.

When she learned that Lu Ping could not come, Widow Shi was a little disappointed, but when she saw Xiao Yuer's figure, appearance, and temperament, she was so excited that she was speechless.

His eyes were shining, his mouth was drooling, his heart was filled with joy, and his face was smiling. He seemed to be twenty years younger.

He just waved his hand and let Lu Ping leave, but he couldn't wait and dragged Xiao Yuer into the grinding workshop behind him.

The next moment, voices like "young master" and "let me see" were heard in the room, as well as Xiao Yuer's terrified wails.

Lu Ping suppressed his smile, stood at the door and listened quietly for a long time, then left without looking back.

Although Widow Shi was a little hungry, she would not really do anything out of line to Xiao Yuer. Lu Ping believed this because the Suzaku Dynasty had strict laws in this regard.

Strangely enough, this world is not an ancient society in the traditional sense, but more like a modern society where martial arts are continued.

Although some areas still maintain the feudal system, the laws are relatively mature and complete. Therefore, if Widow Shi really intends to force someone to do something to Xiao Yuer, she will definitely be severely punished by the law!
In the afternoon, Xiao Yuer came back with a pale face and hunched over.

The first thing I did after arriving home was to fetch a bucket of water from the well in the yard and prepare to wash my body.

"Are you back? Little Fish~"

The sudden voice behind him and the words that had tormented him the entire morning frightened Xiao Yuer so much that his hands and feet went limp and he lost his grip on the rope. The bucket of water spilled to the ground and he fell forward reflexively.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lu Ping came to his rescue and pulled him up.

"It's only been two hours since we last met, why are you showing me such great courtesy?"

"Is it possible that your body has been hollowed out? Otherwise, how come you can't even lift a bucket of water or stand steadily?"

Facing Lu Ping's teasing, Xiao Yu'er just trembled and sighed helplessly: "Fate is really a trick of fate. When I was five years old, I designed to kill a big tiger in order to resolve Uncle Du's test. Now, more than ten years have passed, and I finally fell to a tigress..."

As he spoke, there were still a few bright, fiery lipstick marks on his face.

Seeing this, Lu Ping laughed even more happily: "This is called 'It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come'. The disaster that is destined by fate cannot be avoided no matter what."

Xiao Yuer smiled bitterly: "Then I just hope there won't be too many disasters like this."

"Alright, alright... You're talking as if you were really eaten."

Lu Ping put the man down, and Xiao Yuer sat down on the ground to rest for a while. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Did you also do this when you were working before?"

"You must be joking! Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to attack me!"

Xiao Yuer's eyes widened: "So you trust me so much?!"

"At your age, if she really dares to do something, it will take at least three years! Besides, if you really don't want to, can't you just run away? Widow Shi doesn't know martial arts!"

There is no way to refute this statement...

"I suddenly wondered if my decision to do this with you was too impulsive."

"Not at all. I think you are very suitable for this line of work!"

Lu Ping interrupted Xiao Yu'er and patted his chest: "I have great ambitions and a vast world in my heart. Now I just need a dog-headed military advisor like you to give me advice."

"When we work together, it's absolutely like ducks in water, and everything will be peaceful all the way!"

"Let me be your military advisor? You trust me so much?"

"Of course! I'm the eldest, you're the second, and I always trust the second's judgment!" Xiao Yu'er's facial features were almost twisted together. He vaguely felt that Lu Ping's words were full of meaning, and asked again: "Are you sure that this 'Jianghu Wanshiwu' has development prospects?"

"Of course! Isn't 'No.1 Village in the World' a successful case? We just need to follow its example."

"Excuse me, Boss Lu, how many times do I have to suffer like today before I succeed?"

"There are countless men in this town who would like to have something they cannot even hope for, and you actually call it 'suffering'?! You are really young and do not know the sweetness of tofu..."

Lu Ping chuckled in an insincere way and consoled him: "Don't worry, when the organization expands in size and recruits more talents, there will naturally be younger generations who will suffer for you!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuer seemed to see hope of relief, and shouted: "Then please recruit two more people quickly!!"

Lu Ping glanced at the task of [Young Jianghu] and spread his hands: "I have worked here for half a year, and I only hired a little brother like you. How can it be so smooth?"

Xiao Yu'er's face changed again: "Ah? That's... not right! When did I become your little brother?"

"From the moment you agreed to join the gang! Let's not talk about that. What did you want to say just now?"

"…I want to ask, what exactly do you want from your members?"

Speaking of this, Lu Ping became interested: "In a few days, I will be seventeen years old. By then, I plan to leave Taiping Town and venture into the world of martial arts."

"I am currently planning to recruit ten partners. In addition to you who are good at cheating, the remaining members are swordsmen, chefs who are good at leg skills, sorcerers who can survey the sky, pets, scholars, craftsmen, musicians, and experts in the water."

"Let's conquer the road of no return together, find the great secret treasure left by the leader of the martial arts world, and in the process, trample the 'three elders', 'four heroes', and 'seven monsters' of the Suzaku Dynasty under our feet..."

“Stop, stop!!”

Xiao Yuer interrupted Lu Ping and looked at him strangely, "Why do I feel that what you said is not the same as what I know?"

"illusion!"

Xiao Yuer didn't believe it, but he had no evidence.

"Do you have work this afternoon?"

Lu Ping shook his head: "No, because of your joining, the work I originally arranged was completed ahead of schedule. Now our organization has no business, you can rest in the afternoon."

Xiao Yuer breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great! Although even if there is a job, I may not have the energy to do it."

Lu Ping smiled faintly, turned and walked towards the stone table in the courtyard.

"Come over for dinner after you've cleaned up. I brought takeout from the First-Class Inn."

"Hmm? Coming right up!!"

After grinding beans for the whole morning, Xiao Yuer no longer had the strength to work, but he definitely had the strength to eat.

[System notification: The side quest 'Grinding tofu for Widow Shi on West Street' is completed]
