"Boss, your fish is quite fresh, here you go."

"Little lady, your vision is right. This fish was caught this morning, so it's fresh."

Before Lu Cangling finished school, Lu Helin went to the street to buy a lot of vegetables. Since today is her birthday, she naturally wanted to eat well.

The fish vendor also kindly processed the fish, and Lu Helin could cook it directly when he returned home.

Pour enough oil into the pan, put the processed fish into the oil pan and fry on both sides until golden and the fragrance comes out.

After the fish is fried, pour in clean water, then add the chopped green onion, ginger and garlic, and roll over the fire. The fish soup will gradually become white and the aroma will overflow.

Lu Helin also cut a radish and tofu and stewed them together in fish soup.

When Lu Cangling came back, he could smell the smell of fish all over the courtyard.

He knew that sister must be making delicious food.

"Sister."

"I'm home."

When Lu Helin heard Lu Cangling's voice, he didn't look back, and concentrated on serving the fish soup in the pot.

Then carefully set it on the stone table, and then greeted Lu Cangling who came back to eat.

"Sister, drink the soup."

Lu Cangling, who was sitting across from Lu Helin, first served his elder sister a bowl of snow-white fish soup before moving his chopsticks.

"A Ling, I like the gift you gave me today, thank you."

Lu Helin took the fish soup and remembered the wood carving this morning.

So I thought about thanking Lu Cangling for his kindness no matter what.

"Sister, as long as you like it."

It was worthwhile for him to spend half a month carving this wood carving. Before sending it out, he couldn't help worrying about what to do if sister didn't like it.

"Hidden task: Tomorrow take five breads and put them in the ruined temple outside the town. After completion, the ox cart can be upgraded to a horse cart."

???

What kind of hidden mission is this?
it's wired!
Lu Helin felt very strange looking at the hidden mission that suddenly appeared on the panel.

She didn't do anything, she was just having a simple dinner, why did she trigger the hidden mission?

Lu Cangling on the opposite side saw that his elder sister suddenly stopped while eating, with a strange expression on her face.

"Sister, what's the matter?"

"No, it's just that a strange task suddenly appeared on the panel."

"What mission?"

It can't be dangerous, can it?
He knew that there is no free banquet in the world, and the panel really started to fail.

"Actually, it's nothing, just let me go to the ruined temple outside the town tomorrow and put five loaves there."

Lu Helin felt that it didn't matter, and there was no danger, it was just strange.

Lu Cangling felt that he couldn't take it lightly, so he said: "Sister, let me release it tomorrow, I often take Qingqiu out, I am more familiar with it."

"But, Ah Ling, you still have to go to private school tomorrow."

It's just a piece of bread, it's not worth Lu Cangling's delay in studying.

"It's okay, I'll go out a little earlier."

"it is good."

"Then get up early tomorrow."

Since Ah Ling said there would be no delay, and Lu Helin didn't hesitate, he let him go.

------------

The next morning.

"Sister, I took the bread away."

"Okay, stay safe."

This morning Lu Cangling really got up earlier than usual, after breakfast, he took the five breads and went out.

Lu Helin was still eating, finished the last bit, cleaned up, and opened the shop.

After selling for a while, Lu Helin got a reminder that the task on the panel was completed.

"Take five loaves of bread and put them in the ruined temple outside the town. The ox cart has been successfully upgraded to a horse cart."

At first, Lu Helin, who was still worried that it would not be considered a success because she didn't go to the task by herself, was completely relieved.

It seems that no matter who it is, as long as the task is completed.

Now that the business of the store is good, Lu Helin can't immediately go to see the carriage in the backyard.

But still have great expectations.

When the morning market was over, Lu Helin's shop was also closed.

Back in the backyard, Lu Helin saw the upgraded carriage.

The horse is handsome and vigorous, and the carriage at the rear seems to be much larger.

Lu Helin climbed into the carriage and looked. Indeed, the space inside the carriage was not only much larger, there were even more cushions for people to sit on, and a small coffee table with an incense burner on it.

Lu Helin opened it and looked, but there was nothing in the incense burner, it was just a brand new incense burner.

In general, Lu Helin is very satisfied with this carriage.

That is, the fodder for the horse needs to be purchased. If you want the horse to run, you need the horse to eat grass.

Immediately, Lu Helin went to the street to buy a large bundle of fodder, and gave an extra five cents to ask the guy who sold the fodder to help deliver it to the door.

Lu Helin took some of the bought fodder and put it in the trough in front of the horse.

Almost as soon as it was put in, the horse started eating immediately.

Looking at the horse grazing, Lu Helin suddenly felt that this scene was very relaxing. What happened?

It's just that Internet netizens in this world like to watch hoof repairing as much as washing carpets.

Looking at it, Lu Helin was in a daze.

"Gollum."

It wasn't until his stomach growled that Lu Helin came back to his senses.

After realizing it, fortunately, there was no one else in the yard.

Otherwise, she would lose face.

I made myself a meal, and after I was full, Lu Helin felt sleepy, couldn't help the drowsiness, and went back to the house and fell asleep.

When Lu Cangling came back, the yard was quiet, but the ox cart in the shed had turned into a horse cart.

Why is this?

Could it be because of what happened this morning?
It has to be said that Lu Cang has revealed the truth.

There is no one in the courtyard, which means that sister is taking a lunch break, and Lu Cangling does not intend to disturb Lu Helin's rest.

He went out with Qingqiu directly.

When I got back, it was time for dinner.

At the dinner table, Lu Helin received the hidden task of bread again, it was the same as yesterday! !

"Hidden task: Take five pieces of bread and place them in the ruined temple outside the town. After completion, you will get a dagger that cuts iron like mud."

???

What are you doing?

Want to take it again?
This time it was still Lu Cangling who took it, and Lu Helin soon received a reminder that the task was completed.

"Take five pieces of bread and go to the ruined temple outside the town to complete it. You will get a dagger that cuts iron like mud, and put it in your backpack."

For the next few days, Lu Helin would receive the same hidden mission every day, and each time he took five loaves of bread and put them in the ruined temple outside the town.

Each time has a different reward.

And they are all rewards that make Lu Helin very excited.

All kinds of ancient books that Lu Cangling will use.

The tools she would use to make incense balls.

and many more.

Until one day, it was still Lu Cangling who took five loaves of bread to the ruined temple outside the town, but this time the reward was for one person.

"Take five loaves of bread and place them in the ruined temple outside the town to complete, and get one loyal servant. Please pay attention to check it."

Said it was a person, but Lu Helin didn't see where the rewarded person was.

When the morning market was over and the shops were closed, there was a knock on the gate of the backyard.

Open the door, it's a beggar.

The beggar seemed very nervous, his black hands tightly clutching the tattered clothes on his body.

"Hello, I'm here to find a young gentleman." The beggar stammered.

"Xiao Lang-jun?"

Lu Helin thought for a while, and he should be talking about his younger brother, "That's my younger brother. He's still in private school and hasn't come back from school yet."

Lu Helin thought, this should be the person who was rewarded for this hidden mission, right?Could it be that the bread given these days was all for him?

Since it was determined by the panel, there should be no bad intentions.

Lu Helin wanted the beggar to come in and wait, but he didn't expect the beggar to say stubbornly: "No, no, I'll just wait for that little gentleman at the door."

After speaking, he found a corner outside the courtyard and sat down.

Lu Helin really couldn't persuade him, so he let him go.

It wasn't until Lu Cangling came back from school that there was a voice outside the door, "Xiao Langjun, I want to follow you. I can do anything, as long as I give you something to eat."

"Who are you? I don't need anyone to follow me." Then came Lu Cangling's voice, but it didn't have the soft words when facing Lu Helin, it only sounded endless indifference at the moment.

"No no, you saved me, my life is yours, I must follow you."

Hearing this, Lu Cangling laughed: "You said I saved you? But I have never seen you."

But the beggar said: "But I have seen you. It is you who bring pastries to destroy the temple every day, so I can survive."

At that time, he was beaten badly because he was too hungry to grab food with the dog, and finally ran back to the ruined temple, but because he was beaten so badly and had no energy, he thought he could only wait to die in the ruined temple.

But after he really resigned to his fate, someone suddenly came to this ruined temple with sweet and soft pastries.

After putting the pastry, the man left.

At first, the beggar didn't dare to eat it, fearing that the person who beat him before would let it go, fearing that he would be poisoned.

But then I thought, anyway, I'm going to die anyway, so it's better to be a dead ghost.

Gritting his teeth, he ate up those pastries in one go.

After eating, there was no severe pain as expected.

He was very surprised, isn't it poisonous?
Then why did that person put such a delicious pastry in a ruined temple that this person doesn't have?
Beggar couldn't figure out why.

For the next few days, the man came to the ruined temple every day, bringing this delicious pastry every day.

Gradually, the beggar felt that his body seemed to be getting better and he could stand up.

In the past few days, he also saw the person who came, a young man with a delicate face, who would throw the wrapped pastries into the ruined temple with a cold expression every day and leave.

From that moment on, Qi'er decided that after he got well, he must find this young gentleman and do his best for him.

After the beggar finished talking, Lu Cangling finally realized why the sister's panel would give the task of taking five loaves of bread and putting them in the ruined temple outside the town every day.

But why did this person come?
It wasn't until Lu Helin heard the voice, opened the door, and saw Lu Cangling and the beggar outside the courtyard, that he quietly explained to Lu Cangling why this person came.

According to sister's description, this person's reward for today's mission.

That being the case, Lu Cangling thought it would be fine, so he said to the beggar, "If that's the case, follow along."

The beggar was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, young master, for taking me in!!"

"Okay, get up."

Lu Cangling didn't react much to this, after all, there were a lot of people who bowed to him in the previous life.

But Lu Helin was different. Seeing this man kneel down directly, he was so frightened that he jumped to the side to avoid the beggar and had to kneel down.

The beggar got Lu Cangling's permission and got up.

When the beggar returned to the yard with the Lu Helin sister and brother, Lu Helin remembered that he didn't know the name of the beggar, so he couldn't just call him beggar, right?
"What's your name?" Lu Helin asked.

"Girl Hui, my name is Gousheng. My parents said that a humble name is easy to support, hehe."

this name.
In fact, Lu Helin does not agree with the idea that a cheap name is easy to support, but the name chosen by his parents is not easy to change, so what should we do?
"From now on, your name is Xiao Jing." Lu Cangling beside Lu Helin suddenly said.

"Yes, Mr. Xie for the name." Beggar, ah no, it should be called Xiao Jing now, happily replied Lu Cangling's words, and then bowed again.

Lu Helin worshiped this ancient man at every turn, which was still a little unacceptable.

Since he intends to follow them, he can't be so sloppy all the time. Lu Helin asked him to clean himself up, and he went to the street to buy some clothes for him.

Lu Helin bought him the cheapest sackcloth. Although it was very cheap, it was still much better than the clothes he was wearing before.

"Xiao Jing, how old are you?"

After Xiao Jing tidied up, the exposed face was handsome and looked pretty good.

"Girl, I'm ten years old this year."

Ten years old, that's older than both of their siblings.

The arrival of Xiao Jing made Lu Helin's work a lot easier, and he would go out with Lu Cangling and Qingqiu every day.

Xiao Jing is as described on the panel, a loyal person.

----------

Autumn goes to winter, and the weather gradually cools down.

Lu Helin and his brother also need to buy some new thick clothes.

Although I have bought a few pieces in the past six months, Lu Cangling has grown so fast that after almost two months, the previous clothes can no longer be worn.

And after these six months, under Lu Helin's care, Lu Cangling has already recovered his body.

I don't know why, but he is taller than his peers, and he looks like a young man of seven or eight years old.

One day, when Lu Cangling came back from school, Lu Cangling said to him: "A Ling, let's go to the tailor shop and buy some clothes."

"it is good."

In fact, this is not the first time that Lu Cangling and Lu Helin have gone to a clothing store together, they have gone there two or three times in the past six months.However, he really grew up too fast, and within two months, the previous clothes were shorter.

When I came to the clothing store, the waiter in the store already knew Lu Helin by heart.

This Miss Lu has been a big customer in their store for the past six months, and she buys several sets of clothes every time she comes.Usually people come to buy some cloth and cut clothes by themselves, but this little lady Lu always buys complete sets every time she comes.

"Miss Lu, what clothes are you going to buy this time?"

The waiter's flattering face greeted Lu Helin when he first stepped into the clothing store.

"My sister and I are going to buy some winter clothes. Do you have any recommendations?"

"okay."

"Then this is men's clothing, and my younger brother can choose here."

The waiter pointed to the rows of men's clothing of different colors on the left side of the shop.

"This is women's clothing, Miss Lu can choose here."

Pointing to the right side of the shop, there are rows of women's clothing in different colors.

I heard the waiter in the shop say again: "Miss Lu, it's a coincidence that you came here. These are all styles made by Mrs. Xiu."

"Well, I see."

Lu Helin was indifferent to the gracious introduction of the shop boy, and he got used to it after watching too much.

Seeing that the little lady in front of him ignored him, the waiter in the shop was not discouraged, after all, the customer is bigger than the sky.

Lu Helin first looked at the men's clothing side, selected some clothes for Lu Cangling, and asked him to go in and try them on.

The first outfit that Lu Cangling wore was a crimson red outer robe with a black inner lining.

As soon as Lu Helin saw it, he was amazed. Sure enough, good-looking people look good in everything they wear.

However, Lu Cangling was a little twitchy, "Sister, this robe seems a little too bright."

It's not that Lu Cangling doesn't like it, the main reason is that he hasn't worn this red color yet, and it feels weird to wear it.

"Where is it conspicuous? It's not bright at all. This is not true red, which is bright red." Lu Helin categorically vetoed it.

Wouldn't it be a loss not to buy such beautiful clothes?
The next few pieces, Lu Cangling looked good in them, and for a while Lu Helin didn't even know whether they were clothes for people or people's shirts.

In the end, Lu Helin decided to buy all the clothes that Lu Cangling had tried.

She also picked out a few suitable clothes herself.

He also bought some clothes for Xiao Jing by the way, Xiao Jing also put in a lot of effort during the half a year with the siblings, so naturally he won't treat him badly after the Chinese New Year.

Originally, Lu Helin also wanted to count wages for Xiao Jing every month, but Xiao Jing didn't want anything, saying that his life belonged to both of his siblings, and even if he was an ox or a horse, he couldn't pay it back, so how dare he want it? with wages.

However, Lu Helin has already made up his mind, and he will give Xiao Jing a red envelope after the Chinese New Year.

Until Lu Helin left the tailor shop, the waiter still had a bright smile on his face.

After leaving the shop, Xiao Jing took over the clothes from the second-hand store. The clothes in winter were heavy and thick, but Xiao Jing still put those clothes on the carriage steadily.

After Lu Helin and Lu Cangling got into the carriage, Xiao Jing drove the carriage away slowly.
