"Sister, then do you know why there is such a disease in Zaitkong City, how is such a strange disease infected?" Lin Shuihan asked the key, Lin Shu thought about it carefully, and shook his head in confusion, "I don't know very well. ”

"Then how did you know about this, sister?" Nankong looked at Lin Shu with a light smile, she thought about it again, "Last month, I was selling calligraphy and paintings in Zaikong City, and the weather was very cold at that time, so I wanted to go home early, so while there were still people on the street, I carried my things and planned to go back, but when I was walking on the road, an inexplicable person suddenly shouted and ran in front of me, which startled me!"

"And then?"

Then the man fainted, and I went up to see how he was, and found that he had only fainted, and then with the help of the others, I sent him home, only to find out later that he was actually the lord of the White Mansion! ”

"Baifu ......?" Nankong muttered lightly, and then asked, "Was it their master who first contracted this disease?"

Lin Shu shook his head, "It shouldn't be, there are many shops in Zaikong City that have already closed, and I heard that they are all infected with this strange disease." ”

"Oh no! Isn't it dangerous for Mu Li to be alone in Zaikong City?!" Lin Shuihan's mind immediately flashed Luo Muli's figure, and Nankong glanced at him angrily, "It's all this time, you can still think of her safety?"

Lin Shuihan pushed him, his tone was a little anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about, Mu Li only arrived in Zaikong City yesterday, what if she accidentally contracted this disease and couldn't wake up!"

Nankong looked indifferent, and Lin Shu comforted Lin Shuihan with kind words, asking her not to worry so much, "Since she is the eldest lady of the Silk Pavilion, she must also be well-informed, and besides, I see that Miss Luo's eyebrows are clever, so nothing should happen." ”

Having said that, Lin Shuihan was still a little worried, and then he said that he wanted to go to Zaikong City to have a look, and Nankong Qian also wanted to go, but Lin Shu couldn't stop them, so they had to go.

There are not many pedestrians on the streets of Zaikong City, there are very few, Luo Muli and Luan Su are walking on the street, the eyes that are unfamiliar with everything are particularly eye-catching, the two people shuttled on the street, and unconsciously walked to the door of a noodle restaurant, Luo Muli suddenly stopped.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Luan Su didn't know why she stopped.

Luo Muli's eyes all fell on a middle-aged man sitting outside the noodle restaurant eating noodles, he was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, but his thumb was wearing a jade ring, which attracted her attention and made her stop.

"Uncle, can I sit here?" Luo Muli walked over with a curious heart, stood in front of the man, looked at him with a smile, the man was slightly stunned when he heard her voice, and then raised his eyes to look at her, there was a trace of complexity and helplessness in his eyes, and Luo Muli also felt that this person seemed to ...... Some long-lost cordial ......?

He curled the corners of his mouth and nodded, "Yes." Luo Muli sat opposite him when he heard this, "Uncle, on such a cold day, why do you eat noodles alone?" As soon as she sat down, she directly opened her mouth to find out what he said.

"The early spring is coming, and it's not cold. ”

"This empty city is a little lonely today, has it always been like this, or has something happened recently?"

"It's a small town, it's not worth mentioning. ”

"Uncle, are you from here?"

"It's not. ”

"Then why are you here?"

"The girl isn't from here either, isn't she here too?"

"I'm different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"I'm from Dongchen, and I want to come to the Northern Barbarian Land to see the customs, but who knows that this is what I see today. ”

"Girl, disappointed?"

"Sort of. ”

"Since you're disappointed, why don't you go home, no matter how good this place is, it's not as comfortable as coming from home. ”

"Uncle, are you concerned about your relatives in the distance?"

"Relatives, I'm afraid she doesn't remember me anymore. The man bowed his head sadly.

"Uncle has been away from home for too long, hasn't he?"

"Yes, I've lived in Beiban for too long, and I've forgotten what my family is like. ”

"Then why don't you go back?"

"I can't help myself. ”

"What could be more important than a loved one?"

"If that's the case, the girl came to Beiban like this, aren't you afraid that your mother will worry?"

"My mother agreed to let me come. ”

"At a young age, it's not good to run around like this. ”

"I'm here to be in Beiban for our family's business, and I'm looking for something. ”

"Child, how do you understand these things?"

"If I don't know how to learn, people always have to grow up and leave home, my mother can't take care of me for a lifetime, if I can't protect myself and do what I want to do, that's my biggest debt to myself. ”

Luo Muli said very reasonably, and the man was slightly stunned when he heard it, and was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "The girl has such an awareness at a young age, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse......

After that, he got up and left, and Luo Muli listened to his words and the whole person was stunned, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse...... What does this mean, did she say it wrong? She lowered her gaze and was about to ask the person clearly, but when she stood up, the figure of the person had already disappeared around the corner of the street, Luo Muli paused, think about it, forget it!

"Miss, what did you just say to that person?" Luan Su looked at the figure of the person leaving, walked to Luo Muli's side and asked in a whisper, she shook her head, "It's nothing, I originally wanted to inquire about the strange illness in the empty city, but I didn't hear anything." ”

"Oh. Luan Su nodded, and then asked, "Then where are we going now, Miss?"

"Let's go and try it again, you have to meet someone who is sick to know what is going on!" With that, Luo Muli left the small noodle shop and continued to walk forward, and Luan Su hurriedly followed when he saw the situation.

At this time, Lin Shu was preparing the calligraphy and paintings to be sold today in the yard, and was taking care of them one by one, outside the fence, suddenly a pair of feet appeared, and the footsteps came, and the owner of the back feet reached out and pushed open the door of the yard, and carefully walked behind Lin Shu, watching her sort out the calligraphy and paintings here little by little, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly hook up a smile.

And Lin Shu, it wasn't until she got up and wanted to go to the room to get other calligraphy and paintings that she discovered his existence, she smiled lightly, "Liu'er Xian, it's you! Why are you here?"

"I heard that your brother is back?" Liu'er Xian smiled slightly, then glanced at the things she put on the table, and said, "You're going to Zaikong City again tonight, right?"

"Well, the water cold is back, and there is not enough food at home. Lin Shu said a little embarrassed, bowed his head shyly in front of Liu'er Xian, and then squatted down to continue to sort out the calligraphy and paintings on the table, a disdainful smile crossed the corner of Liu'er Xian's mouth, and then paused, and asked: "Actually, there are very few people in Zaikong City now, if you go there, you must not be able to sell much Danqing." ”

"It's okay, I just want to add some rice to the house, and I'll talk about the rest later. ”

"Didn't your father leave you a sum of money?"

"Yes, but I want to keep that money and use it when necessary, and now I can still solve this little thing alone. ”

"Since your brother is back, why don't you let him do these things?"

"He is a disciple of the Qilin Sect, he has other things to do, besides, Shui Han has never been exposed to these things since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't understand. ”

Hearing this, Liu'er Xian sat on the bamboo chair and looked at Lin Shu with interest, "Your sister is really good to him, I wonder how he would feel if he knew that you worked so hard to support your family?

Lin Shu was stunned when she heard this, her eyes seemed to be dissatisfied with what Liu'er Xian said, she raised her eyes to look at him, and wanted to refute it, but the words paused on her lips again, Liu'er Xian looked at her and stopped, and didn't want her to suppress the words in her heart, so she said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Lin Shu lowered his eyes, carefully considered it in his heart, and then met Liu'erxian's gaze and said: "Liu'erxian, I thank you very much, you saved my life at a critical moment, and I thank you for taking care of me all the time, and I have always regarded you as my benefactor, but this is my family affair and my way of living, I hope you will not use this kind of snarky tone to ridicule me and my brother in the future." ”

After that, she lowered her head, picked up all the things on the table with one hand, turned around and entered the room, Liu'er Xian looked at her breathlessly, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and a shallow smile instantly spread on her face, this woman is really cute......

At noon, there was silence in Zaikong City, as if it was night, the breeze crossed the streets and alleys, the sunlight was still bright, Luo Muli spent a long time, and finally found out that the first person to be infected with this disease in Zaikong City was the lord of Baifu, so while it was not dark, she took Luan Su to go to the Baifu to have a look.

On the other side, Lin Shuihan and Nankong Qian went to the inn and didn't find Luo Muli, so they looked around, but they didn't find her whereabouts, Lin Shuihan became more and more worried, but later someone said that they saw two women going to Baifu, and they also rushed to Baifu when they heard the words, and as soon as they arrived, they saw Luo Muli and Luan Su knocking on the door.

"Mu Li!" Lin Shuihan immediately stepped forward to see if she was okay, Luo Muli glanced back at him, a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
