Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 208: Luo Cheng Train Station (Part 1)

Luo Cheng train station was small and rundown, and it looked just like an infrastructure from the previous century – something from the 90’s.

Lu Shu suddenly felt that it was rather inappropriate to describe it as such, because this train station was seemingly built at that time but never got renovated or improved ever since.

He heard that there was a film director who was planning to film a war film titled 1942 at the start of the year. When he approached Luo Cheng’s relevant government authorities to express his interest in using the train station as a filming location as it fit the landscape of the time, but in the end…

In the end, the authorities naturally rejected him. Damn, you’re filming a 1942 movie and you’re using our train station as a location? And to claim that our train station fits the warring and chaotic period? What a joke!

Luo Cheng train station had exactly this sort of reputation and existence…

After that incident, Lu Shu heard that the government officials were affected and planned to renovate the station. But looking at this old and rundown infrastructure, Lu Shu felt that it would be rather difficult for this renovation project to be carried out…

Lu Shu stood at the ticketing counter and after deliberating with Little Fury for a period of time, he chucked it into the pink luggage. Previously, he had never sat on a train, never left Luo Cheng and never had a pet. So he had no idea if Little Fury could enter the train station. Only until he reached the entrance did he realize that pets were not allowed on trains!

After he was done with his preparation, he held Lu Xiaoyu’s hand and the two of them entered the station after presenting their tickets. The luggage was put through a conveyor belt and scanner before emerging from the other side.

As the two of them were passing by the customs examination, someone stopped Lu Shu, “Is that pink luggage… yours?”

The examiner was a female, and upon seeing Lu Shu taken aback, she continued, “Sorry, I might have made a mistake… Who does this pink luggage belong to?”

The first reaction the customs examiner had when she saw the pink luggage was to think that it definitely belonged to a girl. But when she saw Lu Shu, she felt rather confused…

Lu Shu replied blankly, “It’s alright, it’s mine…”

“From Li Huihui’s distress, +29…”

“Oh…” The customs examiner was rather surprised, but she still had to get her point across, “Do you have a pet in your luggage? Pets are not permitted on trains, you can go and plan for its shipment.”

Lu Shu responded calmly, “This isn’t alive, it’s just a decoration! Look if you don’t believe!” He flipped open his luggage and grabbed Little Fury. Throughout this entire process, Little Fury remained motionless…

“From Little Fury’s distress…”

“It looks extremely real, but it, in fact, isn’t,” Lu Shu asserted. As he spoke, he used his finger to stroke Little Fury, but it continued remaining motionless, not even blinking.

“From Little Fury’s distress…”

The examiner doubtfully used her finger to touch Little Fury. Although it felt soft and rather warm, the squirrel did not move at all, just like a decorative ornament.

“From Little Fury’s distress…”

The other party was rather puzzled, she indeed felt some warmth from the squirrel but… it’s really too suspicious!

Just then, someone passed by Lu Shu with a bag of chips. The crisp sound of potato chips could be heard and Little Fury turned its head over immediately!

Only after it turned around did it remember that it’s not supposed to move…

After 2 minutes, Lu Shu was standing outside the ticketing counter, seemingly flustered…

“Didn’t I tell you not to move! Lu Shu said after taking a deep breath.

Little Fury maintained its innocent face, blame me then?

“From today on, you’ll have to learn 80 words. Not even one less!”

Little Fury was dumbfounded on the spot. It looked as if it was struck by lightning!

“From Little Fury’s distress, +1+1+1…”

Lu Shu eyed the walls outside the ticketing counter and his eyes lit up, “Can you climb up those walls?”

Little Fury nodded its head obediently.

“You climb up from here directly. I think you’ll be able to bypass the checks right to the platform in no time, you’ll meet us there,” Lu Shu explained. This was the advantage of the animals being intelligent. At least they could communicate now, or else he would really have a problem.

He looked on as Little Fury disappeared upwards. He then brought Lu Xiaoyu along toward the train once more.

Lu Xiaoyu was extremely enthralled. She felt refreshed as it was her first time going on a vacation. There were so many people bustling and waiting for the train, and then sitting in the metallic train for up to a thousand kilometers, she was absolutely amazed.

The huge screen in the lobby displayed boarding times and departure times for every train, as well as which platform each train will be at.

Lu Shu looked at his ticket, “We’ll need to go to platform 2.”

They passed by numerous people, and there were all sorts of people around.

“Lu Shu, where do you think everyone taking the train is going? And what for?” Lu Xiaoyu asked curiously. Her eyes widened as well, looking rather adorable.

In reality, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu looked like an odd combination. And from their appearance, they looked rather prominent. This was also what being a practitioner brought about. And Lu Xiaoyu, who was attractive inherently, was indeed much more eye-catching than other people.

So when they were below the huge screen, there would be people who’d glance at them occasionally before looking over at the bright pink luggage…

“Probably the same as us, some of them are going for vacations while some might be going for work. In a small city such as Luo Cheng, the majority of the people would wander outside, to the North or something. After working hard over there, people can stay there their entire life and buy luxurious stuff. Of course, there are those who would come back as well. After all, not everyone would succeed,” Lu Shu explained meticulously.

“Would we leave in future as well?” Lu Xiaoyu asked curiously.

“We…” Lu Shu thought for a moment, “Probably don’t have to. I think Luo Cheng is great. The pace of life is slow and the people are rather nice. The most important thing is that we already have a house here, we just bought it over… The property in the North is extremely expensive, not something we can afford. But we can go out to play and return to Luo Cheng after we’re done.”

“Yeah, I think Luo Cheng is pretty good too,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded her head obediently.

To the both of them, Luo Cheng was everything they had up till now.

This time, they’d spend about 10 days at Qing Zhou. It’s impossible to explore the entire state, and Lu Shu’s plan was to spend the first day at bazaars and streets to shop and eat. On the second day, they would follow a local tour group to visit monasteries and then go to the Qingzhou lake to watch the sunrise. And then they would go to the Chaka salt lake

Although people have been saying that Chaka salt lake has been deteriorating as a natural scenery, since they were going there, they might as well pay it a visit.

Apparently, the flowers by Qingzhou’s streets will bloom in a few days. The vibrant yellow petals and crisp green leaves would be numerous and just the thought of it was beautiful.
