Chapter 493: Neuropathy
"No, I'll go. Li Xian hurriedly said, hesitated, and handed over the three hundred yuan.
The driver took it, snorted lightly, and then started the car: "It's your luck to meet me today." If you look at this time, the buses are all out of service. ”
Li Xian didn't speak, and stuffed the remaining three hundred yuan back into his pocket. These hundreds of yuan were obtained from several bodyguards after Li Xian defected to the Chen family. Li Xian didn't know if Chen Hongming intended to use these hundreds of yuan to humiliate himself, but he had already received enough humiliation, and this was far less heavy than Chen Hongming's words last night.
Now Li Xian has been treated as a wild dog begging for food by the Chen family. As long as he remembered the words of the two bodyguards at the door of Chen's house who commented on him, and now he was spending the money he had begged from these bodyguards, Li Xian couldn't help but tremble, and a strong sense of shame surged in his heart.
In his life, Li Xian has never so deeply realized what it means to be "hot and cold in the world". If he still has a chance to return to glory, this experience may become a pain point in his life, but unfortunately, this opportunity seems to be very slim.
"You're a lot like a person. "The driver was a little bored driving, and he couldn't help but have nothing to say.
"Really?" said Li Xian, lowering his voice, looking out the window and not taking this sentence to heart.
The driver raised his hand again and flipped through the endoscope, and looked at Li Xian through the lens with great interest: "It's true, you are very similar to the eldest young master of the Li family who had an accident recently." ”
His pupils shrank suddenly, and Li Xian's body flashed to the side, trying to avoid the driver's wandering gaze on his face. At the same time, he also began to pay attention to the buildings outside the car window, for fear that the taxi driver had discovered his identity and dragged him to Li's house to receive the reward.
"I heard that the eldest young master of the Li family killed his own father, how can there be such a beast in the world? It seems that he graduated from some famous school, and he has learned all his knowledge from dogs. The driver chattered with a smile, doing their job, every day is entangled with various gossip, naturally there is no shortage of topics.
"By the way, I also have a newspaper here with a picture of him. You see, it's really like you. The driver said and reached out to the side of the car seat, found a newspaper and glanced at it, then handed it to the back, and jokingly said: "You have to be careful when you go to the street, in case you are really beaten by someone who is the eldest young master of the Li family, it will be troublesome." Don't end up enjoying the blessings of the eldest young master, and you ended up in a commotion, carrying the black pot for others, hahaha. ”
"I don't want to see it. Li Xian tried his best to suppress his emotions and said in a low voice.
"Look at it. The driver smiled and said, "I still remember this report clearly, and the headline of the newspaper is really amazing." The eldest young man of the Li family killed his father with his own hands, and the humble gentleman became a beast..."
"Take it! I won't look at it! Take it away!" Li Xian couldn't control his emotions anymore, and almost shouted frantically. His body curled back, as if he wanted to get away. However, his eyes did not blink, staring directly at the newspaper that was still stained with oil.
The driver was slightly stunned, and hurriedly withdrew his hand: "Neurotic, are you okay with your brain?" I warn you, if you are so noisy, you will get out of here." ”
The taxi fell silent again, and the driver did not dare to speak again, for fear of stimulating the neurosis in the back seat. It's just that he keeps staring at him out of the corner of his eye while driving, worried that he will suddenly get sick and rush over and strangle himself.
Since the money was collected, there was no way to get the goods out of the car, so the driver could only drive worriedly, and rarely kept silent all the way.
Li Xian held his forehead with his hand, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching slightly, and this state lasted for a long, long time.
"It's here. The driver stopped the car abruptly and muttered lazily.
"So fast?" Li Xian looked up at the time, only to realize that it was already half past eight in the evening.
Looking out the car window, Li Xian said, "Drive to the mountain." ”
"What are you doing driving to the mountains?" the driver looked at Li Xian with a strange look, "It's the Mu Family Mansion above, you are a hairy boy, you just need to break the keyboard on the net, where do you run and mess around? Do you know what kind of place it is? If you dare to cause trouble there, you don't even know how you died!"
"I'm just going to the Mu Family Mansion. Li Xian said in a deep voice.
The driver felt that the kid behind him definitely had mental problems, and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly: "Such a big uphill slope, not to mention the danger, it is quite fuel-intensive." If you really want me to go up, add another hundred dollars. ”
"Another hundred? We said that it would be 300 yuan to the Mu Mansion. ”
"Do you know how to do it?" the driver snorted, stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him, "This place is called the Mujia Mansion." I'll pull you down the mountain, and you'll already be at your destination. Have you seen a few people who said that they went to the Mu Family Mansion and finally dared to climb this slope?"
Li Xian gritted his teeth, he wanted to pay another hundred yuan for the driver to pull him up the mountain, but in that case, he only had two hundred yuan left in his pocket, and he couldn't go back at all.
"I'll go on my own. Li Xian gave up this idea, opened the car door and got out of the taxi, and walked towards the mountain alone.
The taxi shook its headlights twice in the back, like a silent taunt, then turned around and quickly left.
Taking off his coat, Li Xian put him on his arm and walked towards the mountain.
The night breeze is gentle, and the air is moist and cool, making people feel chills. Li Xian inexplicably felt that there were water droplets rolling on his face, reached out and wiped it gently, lowered his head and said to himself: "In such a hot weather, I must be sweating..."
The dim light of the street lamp was crushed by human figures, and the bright stars in the sky gradually brightened in the distance.
Li Xian came to the outside of the Mu Family Mansion, raised his hand and buckled the door knocker.
"Who is it so late?" the small door opened a crack, and the old family poked out a head.
"I want to see Mu Rou'er. ”
"See our young lady, who are you?" As soon as the old family looked up, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they saw Li Xian's cheeks, and then their heads retracted, and they shouted inside: "Come on, it's the young man of the Li family who is here!"
"Ah, who? Li Qing is here?" several bodyguards took the lead in running over, tilting their heads and grinning.
The old family waved their hands again and again, and explained vaguely: "It's not Li Qing, it's not Li Qing, it's the Li family..."
"What a mess, isn't Li Qing the eldest of the Li family. The bodyguard pushed the old family aside, then opened the small door, looked out of the door, and suddenly looked at the door, and his face was full of surprise, "Isn't this Li Xian? Don't you find a place to hide honestly, and dare to come to our Mu family?"
"It's only been a few days, and it's already a matter of fact. Li Xian sighed softly in his heart, before the accident, he was a frequent visitor to the Mu family. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the Li family had already changed to another name.
"That's it, it was originally his, so I simply gave it back to him. With a sigh in his heart, Li Xian said in a deep voice: "I want to see Mu Rou'er." ”
The bodyguard looked Li Xian up and down, and nodded: "Okay, Miss is with the head of the family, I'll go and report it, as for whether she sees you or not, it's none of my business." ”
"Thank you. Li Xian said a little bluntly, he is not good at talking about the word "thanks".
"Well, you wait a minute. The bodyguard nodded and retreated, and ordered the people behind him unabashedly, "Search it well, don't fall off your crotch, don't let him bring danger in and hurt people." ”
In the small pavilion in the back garden of the Mu family, Mu Zhanyan was leaning on the rattan chair, staring at his daughter who was concentrating on embroidery opposite.
"When you do these things, you really look like your mother. Mu Yanyan said softly, his eyes filled with a thick look of remembrance.
Mu Rou'er didn't look up, and said softly: "The quilt embroidered by my mother's own hands, my father has covered it for decades, and it has been broken, and I will change it for you in two days." ”
"No need. Mu Yanyan's throat rolled a little, "That's when I got married to your mother, and she brought it from her mother's house." After so many years, I can always remember her kindness to me. If you do, she'll be unhappy. ”
Mu Rou'er's body stiffened slightly, she bit her lip and nodded slightly: "Dad, don't worry, my mother will definitely get better." ”
"Hehe, your father and I are not stupid. Mu Zhanyan smiled, "How can her illness be cured, I don't have any big expectations, as long as she can accompany me and finish this life quietly, I will be content." Having said that, it's a good thing she doesn't understand anything, otherwise she might have cried many times if she knew about you. ”
"I'll spend more time with her, and when I went to see her today, she smiled at me. I think that although she can't say it, she should still recognize my daughter. ”
Mu Zhanyan nodded with satisfaction: "She loves you the most, if you accompany her more, this old woman is in a good mood, I don't know how much better than me." ”
After a pause in words, Mu Yanyan looked at Mu Rou'er and said softly: "Rou'er, you used to hate these things the most. Your mother wanted to teach you before she got sick, but you always ignored it, so why do you like it now? ”
Mu Rou'er lowered her head and quietly looked at the lively mandarin duck on the embroidered cloth, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I think Li Qing may like it." ”
"You..." Mu Yanyan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly, "Daughter, once you fall in love, you will miss it for life." ”
"No, I'm happy to be with him. Mu Rouer pursed her lips and smiled sweetly.
