I'm being watched by a sword

Chapter 12 Magician

There were a lot of people in the city, and Lu Shan searched for a long time, but he couldn't find it, so he was a little frustrated.

Walk slowly along the alley called "Hua Tuan Street", turn left at the end, and you will find the most magnificent "Wu Lao Street" in the city except the City Lord's Mansion. There are many high-rise buildings and colorful lights. There is no sign of the collapse of the world.

And went around several streets and alleys.

On the road, I saw a lot of dilapidated small buildings, some of which were half collapsed, and the people inside were separated by wooden boards, and a dozen or so people lived together.

After that, it took several twists and turns before finally reaching the refugee slum in the city.

There is a small alley next to the refugee slum, called "Lingzhuan Alley", which sells all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings and some weird things.

The bosses of "Spirit Turn Alley" all said that their things were before the collapse of the world, and all of them are priceless "good things".

However, Lu Shan and most people in the refugee camp know that most of the so-called "good things" are exquisite imitations, just to deceive laymen.However, among those weird things, occasionally one or two treasures will appear, which is surprising.

"Lingzhuan Alley" is very clean, the ground is spotless, and every shop looks neat and tidy, giving people a particularly comfortable and refreshing feeling.

However, the refugee huts just a few meters away are completely different.

Household garbage is thrown everywhere.Rusted steel, broken bricks and electrical appliances that can no longer be used, etc., are piled up randomly on the side of the road.

There are no high-rise buildings in the refugee camps, not even small collapsed bungalows. There are only shacks with serial numbers written on them, densely arranged.

For the convenience of management, "Cucumber City" numbered these shacks.

These shacks are extremely crude, like "containers" mixed with cement, bricks and steel, but the kind that leaks wind and rain.

The serial number "345" is a triple number, which is Lu Shan's "home".

Don't think that the number three is a good position, it's just that it happens to be in that number. In fact, these shacks are almost the same.

Following his memory, Lu Shan walked into the refugee slum.

From time to time, I would meet some children playing and running amok, wearing old gray linen clothes, no shoes on their feet, and their bodies were dusty and covered with mud.

Occasionally, I saw an adult who acted in a hurry without saying a word or stopping.

The location of the shack with the serial number "345" in the middle of the refugee slum was not deliberately chosen by Lu Shan's predecessor, but left behind by his adoptive parents who passed away.

Walking very slowly, the memory appeared little by little, slowly deepening, as if he had personally experienced it.However, Lu Shan always felt that in some places, the memory seemed to be broken, not very coherent.

Lu Shan suspected that it was caused by his previous death.Or he himself died twice, so that something should have been remembered was forgotten.Maybe it's something else.

Thinking about things, he came to the shack with serial number "345" unconsciously.

Just as he was about to take out the key from the pocket of the gray coat to open the door, he found that the door lock of the shack had been broken, and the old iron lock was broken into several pieces, scattered on the ground.

Lu Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced left and right, but found nothing unusual, and then looked at the broken lock on the ground, which seemed to be smashed just today.

Although the refugee slum was a bit chaotic, things like smashing door locks rarely happened.

Because these huts are not personal property, but the property of the city lord, naturally the iron lock is also the property of the city lord. If anyone breaks it, he needs to pay ten times the compensation to the city lord's mansion.

Therefore, very few people in the refugee camp would destroy the shacks.

Those who live here are just borrowing to live in refugee camps or "shack areas", and they need to pay protection fees, oh no, it's rent!
The people in the refugee camps have a hard time eating, who would have nothing to do to destroy it?And if caught, ten times the compensation is not a joke, it is enough for a family of three to eat for half a month.

Instead of pushing the door directly to go in, Lu Shan knocked on the opposite door with serial number "346", but no one answered after knocking for a long time.

After walking to the door with serial number "344" on the right, I raised my hand to knock on the door, and the door creaked open.

A small head was exposed, and a bright light flashed in the beautiful eyes. Seeing Lu Shan, he shouted happily: "Brother Lu Shan, you are back!"

Another pair of men and women came out of "344". They were very thin and their complexion was sallow. It seemed that they were caused by long-term malnutrition.

The man's name is Zhang Haonian, in his early forties.The woman's name is "Liu Ru", in her 30s.Both of them seem to be level I fighters, and they work long-term jobs in the factory under the city lord's mansion.

Zhang Haonian worriedly asked: "Lu Shan, where have you been these few days?"

Seeing that his expression was genuine and not fake, Lu Shan's heart warmed up: "Uncle Zhang, I'm going to do something outside the city."

"Oh, let's do something! As long as there is no accident, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you come to eat at home."

Zhang Haonian opened the door and let Lu Shan in.

"No, Uncle Zhang, I just came to ask a question?"

Lu Shan saw the children of Uncle Zhang's family eating sweet potatoes. There were only 3 sweet potatoes in the pot on the table in the house, and there was not even a dish on the table.

"Tell me." Zhang Haonian knew his own situation, so he was really afraid that Lu Shan would agree.

"The door lock of my house was smashed, do you know who did it?" Lu Shan pointed to a few broken iron locks on the ground.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Haonian was a little embarrassed, his wife Liu Ru pushed him, and he said hesitantly: "Those gangsters on the street did it. I think they just broke the lock and didn't enter the house, no Know what you want to do?"

Lu Shan smiled slightly, knowing that Zhang Haonian was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, it was righteous to be able to tell himself, so he quickly said "thank you".

Just as Lu Shan turned around and entered his shack, Liu Ru shouted: "Lu Shan!"

Lu Shan stopped, only to hear her say: "Dragonfly has looked for you several times, she just went to the gate of the city, and she hasn't come back yet?"

dragonfly? !
The woman with the serial number "346", about twenty years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, was also the object of Lu Shan's previous crush. In the memory of his predecessor, it was because of her that he never moved out of the refugee slum.

Lu Shan remembered that his adoptive parents in his previous life were also blond. Perhaps it was because of this reason that he had a special affection for blond girls.

However, when Lu Shan recalled the woman "Dragonfly", he didn't feel that way at all.

This makes him a little confused? !

Now he feels that except for Su Yi, other women are probably the same, and even Hua Lian, who looks somewhat similar to Su Yi, has no special feeling.

At this point, even he himself was a little confused, not knowing what was going on.Is it really love at first sight? !
"thank you, I know now."

After saying his thanks, Lu Shan pushed the door open and walked into the shack. There was no mess and disorder in his eyes, but rather clean and tidy.

There are not many things in the whole house, a wooden bed, a short table, a low chair, a wooden box, and some scattered other living utensils.

Although the quilt on the bed was very old, it was washed very clean and neatly folded.

It seems that he was not a sloppy person before, and Lu Shan still accepts it in his heart.

Cleanliness has long been a habit of modern people, if it is too sloppy, he really can't stand it.

Crunch!

Suddenly, the door of Lu Shan's house was pushed open, and a blonde woman stood in front of the door.

Lu Shan turned around and looked at the blond woman, but he still didn't feel that way, which aggravated his doubts.

The woman panted heavily and said with a smile, "I just came back from the gate of the city, and the guard said you were back, so I hurried back..."

Looking at this woman, Lu Shan felt that she looked like someone.

He didn't answer, because he couldn't answer at all, the woman was chattering, and seemed to have no intention of stopping.

Lu Shan was not annoyed, and looked at the woman quietly, as if drawn into a wonderful memory by her words.

"Are you listening?" The woman pouted, pretending to be angry, playful and cute.

"Yes!" Lu Shan lied, his face blushing and his heart beating.

In the memory of his predecessor, he had a special feeling for this woman named "Dragonfly", which was called secret love.

But when he saw it at first glance, the dragonfly gave him the feeling that it was not admiration, but a special energy exuding from his body.

This special energy instantly reminded Lu Shan of a precious profession.

This profession is extremely rare, quite weird, but extremely powerful, and can even manipulate people's memory under certain conditions.

This precious profession is - magician!

Dragonfly was a little embarrassed by Lu Shan, and said angrily, "Where did you learn how to be rude!"

Quickly looking away, Lu Shan said "Sorry", but his heart was full of doubts.

Did he really admire this woman named "Dragonfly" in his previous life?
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Shan felt that his predecessor was a bit scary.

Maybe the 20-year-old youth's predecessor knew from the beginning that Dragonfly's identity might be a "magician"?
However, why did this dragonfly, which may be the "magician", lurk beside Lu Shan's predecessor?
You must know that "magicians" are extremely rare and have a noble status. Even the lowest-level "magician" is more honorable than the status of the city lord of "Cucumber City". Kind of big shot.

In addition to doubts, Lu Shan even suspected that the memory of his previous life might have been tampered with by the "magician" Dragonfly.

Smiling slightly, his heart was full of haze.

If that's the case, there must be a big secret about his predecessor, at least enough for a noble magician to lurk by his predecessor's side for three years.

Lu Shan felt that his predecessor seemed to know this secret, but why didn't he remember it at all?
After thinking about it, he shook his head and smiled wryly.

Or maybe I thought too much, Dragonfly is just an ordinary woman, not some noble "magician", and there is no big secret in his previous life.

Dragonfly looked at Lu Shan, and found that his eyes had passed his own and fixed on the three young people not far away.After stomping his feet, he turned around and opened the door of "346", and closed the door with a bang.

The dust splashed by the closed door splashed on Lu Shan's face, making him a little ashamed. He knew that his distraction had offended the Dragonfly who might be the "magician".

Lu Shan shouted outside the door: "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired these days, and my mind was distracted just now."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the three young people not far away.

When I'm not at home, break the lock of my house, you bastards have to explain it!
