Chapter 223: 223?The Tour Group
Lu Shu studied intensely and now, he was already studying physics and chemistry on his own. With his history of not obtaining more than 20 marks even when he combined the marks of those two subjects, it could be said that he was learning everything from scratch…
Physics and chemistry took up a portion of his effort, and j.a.panese another. Lu Shu didn’t know for sure if he had enough time.
As for j.a.panese, picking it up would not only help him in sieving out spies but it would help him in other aspects as well…
Lu Shu went into deep thought…
Yuan Liangtuo and Yuan Li were still crying down below.
More people who shopped the black market emerged from the alley. Some of them bought stuff while others didn’t.
They were rather baffled when they pa.s.sed by Yuan Liangtuo and his party, why were they crying while looking at the sky?
This scene led to them lifting their heads up toward the sky… there was nothing there!
Outsiders aside, even Yuan Liangtuo and his party had absolutely no idea what was happening!
Who would’ve thought that someone had just bought a magical gourd and wanted to test its effects?
Lu Shu suddenly thought. Li Dian definitely knew the effects of this gourd, which was why he faltered and lowered his asking price of the gourd.
In reality, Li Dian was not silly at all. It was apparent when he seemed afraid when Lu Shu looked at the silk cloth.
And how could Li Dian think of the fact that Lu Shu could use the gourd in conjunction with his ability to obtain the real name of anyone he annoys. It could really work wonders when Lu Shu used this gourd…
Lu Shu’s celestial strength was numerous times stronger than Li Dian’s magical energy. The effective usage of the item would undoubtedly increase, and it could be said that this instrument could be used from a range…
There were, however, many limits to this instrument. It wouldn’t have much use if someone was das.h.i.+ng towards the user.
There was still plenty to learn about this instrument… Lu Shu thought. He caught a glimpse of Little Fury who was sleeping atop Lu Xiaoyu’s head. Little Fury was jolted awake immediately as if it thought that something terrible would always happen on itself!
This head-twisting gourd, land of seals, spears and other such items were best kept hidden.
On one hand, these items were obtained from others and these meant there were clues and traces. Although Li Dian didn’t know who Lu Shu was, and neither did he know how Lu Shu looked like, Lu Shu still wanted to be cautious.
On the other hand, if he really wanted to use his instruments to search for spies, the action of twisting heads was too obvious. Then, even if the other party didn’t know how Lu Shu obtained real names, it would definitely give himself away.
It wasn’t to say that Lu Shu was afraid of them, but Lu Shu preferred dealing with others while staying hidden. He didn’t like to handle other people openly.
Lu Shu didn’t continue thinking and kept his gourd within his seal of lands gleefully. He then said to Lu Xiaoyu, “Let’s go, let’s go find the hotel.”
The original objective of this trip was to have fun and he never thought of obtaining anything. Now that he got a sum of money and a head-twisting gourd, Lu Shu felt like he was getting lucky.
All he could say was… thanks to Yuan Liangtuo.
The two of them waited for an opportunity to jump off the roof. The dawn had slowly and quietly crept upon Xijing City, and it wasn’t really bustling.
Beside the wide street, streetlights were a gloomy yellow. Lu Shu held Lu Xiaoyu’s hand and asked, “You said you were in charge of planning the trip, what are we going to do next?”
Lu Xiaoyu’s little face turned serious and said, “Actually, it’s more worth it if we follow a tour group here. My plan was to have a 9-day tour around Qingzhou lake and its surroundings. We can go cycling around Qingzhou lake, Chaka salt lake, Zhangye prefecture, Dunhuang, Mingsha mountain, sabretooth spring… apparently, if we go ourselves, the hotels on the way would be very expensive. So I suggest a tour group.”
Lu Shu had prepared his ident.i.ty card earlier. As Lu Xiaoyu didn’t have her identification card, Lu Shu brought his account book just in case. In the end, his account book was not required as just one identification card could settle the administrative details of a stay.
One room with two single beds. Although they weren’t related by blood, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had depended on each other since a long time ago and they were practically relatives. They behaved like relatives, and in past winters, Lu Shu would even sleep on a mat in Lu Xiaoyu’s room.
But Lu Shu was also cautious and closed the door when he used the toilet. He would also buy long-sleeved s.h.i.+rts and pants as pajamas for Lu Xiaoyu.
After they entered the room, the two of them took out their phones. Lu Xiaoyu wore her pajamas and laid on the bed, “It’s a good time for tourism in Qingzhou. Hotels are expensive, but we can save quite a lot if we join a tour group.”
Lu Shu nodded his head, “Although many people say that tour groups limit freedom, it’s our first time out with no prior experience. It seems better for us to follow a tour group. Maybe we could go out on our own after gaining some experience.”
In the end, being their first time out without any experience, it was safer for them to follow a tour group. What if they went to a tourist attraction on their own and they don’t even know where the entrance was? That would be really awkward…
Moreover, the problem which many people had discussed online was not feared by Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. The problem of using violence to force tourists in tour groups to purchase certain items.
“Try your best to find a group which offers a reasonable price. We shouldn’t be exploited by others but don’t just select the cheapest ones!” Lu Shu said.
“Okay,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded her head and pointed to a tour package on her phone, saying, “How about this! 20 people in a group, the route is just as we have planned. The price is reasonable too, neither expensive nor cheap.”
“Alright, that it is. When do we set off?”
“The morning of the day after tomorrow.”
After they were done discussing details on the tour, Lu Xiaoyu retrieved a primary three mathematics book from the luggage and started reading it. Lu Shu was shocked, “Since when did you enjoy studying so much? We’re here to play, you don’t have to be so hardworking…”
“It’s none of your business,” Lu Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose and ignored him.
“Alright, alright. It’s too late tonight, stop looking at it,” Lu Shu laughed. It was a good thing to love studying.
Lu Shu wanted Lu Xiaoyu to have a good rest. The night of Xijing city was rather cold and he placed a blanket over Lu Xiaoyu.
Lu Xiaoyu’s small face emerged from the blanket and asked suddenly, “Lu Shu, can we really tour the entire world in future?”
Lu Shu was caught by surprise but laughed, “Of course we can! Didn’t I already promise you.”
“Okay…” Lu Xiaoyu replied but asked again, “Just the two of us?”
Lu Shu couldn’t laugh nor cry, “There’s no one else, is there?”
“Yeah!”
