I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 126: Both Sides Need to Celebrate the New Year

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Both Sides Need to Celebrate the New Year

"Thank goodness for you."

Lin Wan leaned against Lu Zheng and said, "That person was really planning to kill the child at night." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Just how big of a grudge is it?" Lu Zheng frowned and said, "To the point of needing to kill someone?"

Lin Wan let out a cold laugh, "The suspect’s dog scared the child, and the child’s father kicked his dog."

"What the hell?" Lu Zheng gasped, "Just for a dog, he wants to kill someone? Am I crazy, or is this world too surreal?"

Lin Wan chuckled, "The guy is still feeling wronged, saying his dog is depressed and hasn’t eaten for three days."

Lu Zheng took another deep breath, "Impressive! How many years can this guy get sentenced for?"

"Kidnapping and attempted murder, over ten years," Lin Wan said calmly.

"Serves him right!" Lu Zheng pouted, feeling a bit regretful, thinking he should’ve given him a bit more during the scuffle. "That child’s family is really unlucky to have such a neighbor."

Lin Wan nodded, "Who says they aren’t? But the suspect’s family has already put the house up for sale, seems they’re planning to move."

Lu Zheng sneered, "At least they know the reputation of a murderer isn’t a good one."

Then he shook his head, "But letting dogs scare people, no one handles that."

Lin Wan fell silent.

"This shows that law is just the lowest line of morality and cannot cover everything on a moral level," Lu Zheng said, holding Lin Wan. "For example, this time, if scaring someone with a dog was directly illegal, there wouldn’t be the follow-up issues."

Lin Wan couldn’t help but smile, "The crackdown radius would be too wide then."

Lu Zheng shrugged, "Actually, there are probably quite a few of these people in society. I’m fine, but don’t you believe you’ve never encountered those unreasonable mixed-up people?"

Lin Wan sighed helplessly, "Of course I have. I’ve seen all sorts over the years, and it’s indeed different from what’s on the internet or in books."

"Exactly." Lu Zheng paused, frowned a bit, then suddenly asked, "Why are we talking about this topic?"

Lin Wan giggled, "You’re the one who brought it up; I didn’t expect you to be a bit of an angry youth."

"Thank you for not calling me a public intellectual."

"Why would I insult you?"

Lu Zheng shook his head and sighed, "So many good words have been ruined!"

"Alright, it’s getting late, I have to get up and go to work."

Lin Wan got up, and the velvet quilt slipped off, revealing her smooth skin.

Lu Zheng quickly pulled Lin Wan back, "You came back only in the middle of the night, and you have to go this early in the morning—aren’t you overworking like a donkey in a production team?"

Lin Wan tapped Lu Zheng’s forehead with her finger.

"Count your blessings, I came back at all. Captain Liang and Liu Leng just slept at the office directly."

"Tsk, no humanity!"

Lin Wan glanced sideways at Lu Zheng, then pulled his hand away and walked into the bathroom.

Even though Lin Wan hadn’t cultivated Martial Dao Blood Qi, she could handle a night without much rest, not to mention Lu Zheng.

Seeing Lin Wan get up, Lu Zheng also got up and tidied the bed, arranging Lin Wan’s clothes together.

Just as he finished, Lin Wan came out after washing up.

Seeing her clothes neatly arranged by Lu Zheng, Lin Wan smiled and then started getting dressed.

Soon, a spirited policewoman appeared again.

"Let’s go, have breakfast together, there’s a nice steamed bun place downstairs," Lu Zheng said.

The two went for breakfast together; Lu Zheng helped Lin Wan get a cab, watched her leave, then noticed it was still early. So he traveled back in time, practiced some boxing routines, and swung a saber along the way to stretch his muscles.

"Young master!"

Uncle Li came running over.

"What’s up?" Lu Zheng sheathed his saber and stood firm, exhaling steadily, his breath shot three feet forward like a sword, lingering for a long time.

"Young master, here’s this month’s income from the Sweet Shop," Uncle Li handed over a stack of treasure notes, "Also, I wanted to ask, with the New Year approaching, should we start preparing?"

Lu Zheng: (°ー°〃)

Keeping a calm face, he replied flatly, "Hmm, how long until then?"

"Just over twenty days."

Uncle Li nodded, "We buy food as needed, so no special preparation is needed, but for spring couplets, candies, and firecrackers, would you like to purchase them yourself or should I go?"

"You go ahead and prepare them," Lu Zheng nodded, "No need to save money, just get what’s needed."

"Alright!" Uncle Li nodded, "Then shall I take two thousand coins from the following income of the Sweet Shop?"

Lu Zheng agreed, "Sure."

Seeing Uncle Li leave, Lu Zheng left the house and strolled through the streets again.

Recently, it was either cultivating at home or seeing patients at Renxin Hall, Lu Zheng hadn’t been shopping for a long time, neglecting his collection of common knowledge.

Now, he’s been reminded again.

Therefore, with a resolute mind, Lu Zheng went to Leping Building and spent an entire morning there. He tipped the storyteller one thousand coins to narrate all the yearly festivals and legends of the Great Jing Dynasty.

Leping Building used to be Qingsheng Building, but it was sold and renamed, though its business remains the same.

After listening all morning, he noticed that the Great Jing Dynasty’s festivals were quite similar to Hua Country’s, though there were some differences.

For example, New Year’s Festival, the first, middle, and last full moons of the year have similar names, but the dates slightly vary.

There are also many similar festivals, such as Qixi Festival is like the Qiqiao Festival, Caiqing Festival is akin to Qingming Festival, Farming Festival is similar to Dragon Raising Its Head Festival, Celebration Festival is like Chongyang Festival, and so on.

There are even festivals unique to the Great Jing Dynasty that Hua Country does not have, such as City God’s Parade on the fifth day of the fifth month.

Of course, there are also festivals that Hua Country has and the Great Jing Dynasty does not, such as the Army Day on August 1st and National Day on October 1st.

By late morning, Lu Zheng could guarantee he wouldn’t be caught off guard by the Great Jing Dynasty’s festivals anymore.

Other listeners also got a chance to revisit the folk festival legends, and the storyteller earned three times his usual income.

Everyone was happy.

Lu Zheng thought, "Thankfully, the festivals over here don’t coincide with the modern ones, or I’d really be stretched thin and would have to tell Uncle Li and Qingyan that I’d be out for a while."

He couldn’t possibly miss the New Year’s in the modern world, or his mom would kill him.

But then...

"I could bring some snacks and dried fruits over here," Lu Zheng pondered.

To say Liu Qingquan is easy to please is an understatement, a lollipop or beef jerky would make her beam with joy.

"With the New Year, the kids should have some treats, maybe some chocolate and butter cookies."

Acting on the thought, Lu Zheng didn’t delay, he traveled back to modern times and went to a nearby Huaren Supermarket to do some shopping.

Apart from Xufuji chocolates and butter cookies, Lu Zheng also bought some bottles of liquor and some nuts, as well as peanuts, sunflower seeds, fruit candies, and Big White Rabbit toffees, to give to the likable kids on the street.

"Tsk tsk, while others bring AKs, grenades, and Katyusha from the modern world to the ancient, I’m bringing Wuliangye, Xufuji, and Big White Rabbit—how quirky is this scene?"
