Chapter 1410: Enemies on a Narrow Road 2
While Li Shuitian was queueing to make a purchase, Lu Jiang kept his eyes and ears open, focusing most of his attention on his children and the remainder on the crowd in the grocery store.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar face.
It was so familiar that he recognized it instantly, rubbing his eyes and looking again, only to find the owner of the face had already left their original spot, probably having left the grocery store.
"Shuitian," called Lu Jiang, "did I just see Lu Zhaodi?"
Li Shuitian collected his change from the butcher master and said, "You’re not mistaken, it’s her."
Lu Jiang was startled, "How could she be here?"
Could it be that Jiu Hong had left the army? Lu Jiang somewhat regretted not asking Ye Zhengjun for the latest army news.
"Hongzhu always says misery loves company!" Li Shuitian did not directly answer Lu Jiang’s question, instead, he remarked with a sigh, "Is it not a coincidence? Jiu Hong and Lu Zhaodi’s home is just a wall away from ours!"
Lu Jiang chuckled, "You’ve become neighbors?"
"If not neighbors, what is a wall apart? No, it’s the path where adversaries meet." Li Shuitian led them out of the grocery store, heading towards his home, not forgetting the grudge he held against Jiu Hong, the reason he had to leave the army—an enmity as deep as the sea, "If you hear what I’m about to say next, you’ll truly understand what it means for adversaries to inevitably cross paths."
