After more than two years of long journey, Gao Ran and his party passed through several small countries adjacent to Yunxiang Kingdom, and after a large circle of twists and turns, at last, when they finally turned over the last mountain line they had drawn when they had met by a merchant traveler on their way south, a completely different scenery from the other side of the mountain came into view: the terrain began to flatten. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEspecially when they descended to the foot of the mountain, there was no vegetation in front of them, and the view became wider!

"Master, have you ever been to the Banana Country before?" Although the climate on this side of the mountain is obviously much wetter and warmer than on the other side of the mountain, Gao Ran feels that this should not be the territory of the Banana Country!

"Nonsense! If you have been there for the teacher a long time ago, will you still be interested in going with you now? Don't forget, the purpose of going to the banana country for the teacher!"

"Ahh......h It's just that nearly three years have passed in a flash! It's not surprising that she forgot about it for a while......

"That'...... Hey, what about you? Have you ever been?" Knowing that he couldn't get the information she wanted from Zhao Yi, Gao Ran shifted the subject of the question. Thinking about it, since Xi was the fourth-ranked killer in Tiange, and she also learned about Jiao Guo from Qiu Yueze, then maybe he had been there!

"I haven't been there either. However, I have heard Shopkeeper Li talk about it......"

"Shopkeeper Li?" Xu really hasn't thought of this person for a long time, Gao Ran didn't react immediately for a while, who is this "Shopkeeper Li" he is talking about?

"Ran'er, don't you remember? It's the shopkeeper Li of the Tiange Inn in Qingtan Town!"

"Oh-I remember! So you're talking about Uncle Li!"

"Uncle Li?" Gao Xi couldn't help but widen his eyes. After all, he was born in Tiange, so he naturally knew that in the entire Tiange, only Qiu Yueze would call Li Lin "Uncle Li", and the rest of the people naturally understood the weight behind his sentence "Uncle Li"! At this moment, it was the first time in his life that he had heard that there was someone other than Qiu Yueze who dared to call Li Lin like this!

"Well, he asked me to call him that. Is there any problem?" Gao Ran obviously asked knowingly.

And Gao Xi naturally understood her hint.

"Yes! Ran Er is not the kind of person who is out of proportion! She dares to call Shopkeeper Li like this, it must have been at his beh. It's just ......" It's just that even so, Gao Xi is still a little surprised that Gao Ran can make Li Lin value her so much with only a few days of her short stay in Qingtan Town!

At least, in Gao Xi's opinion, in addition to being "extremely important", he really can't think of any other reason why Li Lin can express his approval of Gao Ran in this way?

What's more, the people in the Quantian Pavilion knew that all along, the only one who would call him that way was Qiu Yueze! And now, there was one more Gao Ran-and it was personally instructed by Li Lin! So, by doing this, didn't Li Lin clearly put Gao Ran in a position on a par with Qiu Yueze?!

"By the way! I suddenly remembered that I had heard Qiu Yueze say before that his housekeeper had been to the Banana Country...... A certain Fei, in addition to being the shopkeeper of the Tiange Inn, this Uncle Li is actually the 'housekeeper' in Qiu Yueze's mouth?"

Gao Ran's sudden question interrupted Gao Xi's thoughts, he hurriedly came back to his senses, and then quickly recalled her question just now, and then replied a little slowly: "Hmm...... To tell the truth, Shopkeeper Li is actually the head of Tiange. But because of the particularity of Tiange itself, we usually don't call him 'Manager Li' directly, but call him 'Shopkeeper Li'. In fact, this is also to hide people's eyes and ears and make it easier to act...... But in fact, in the Heavenly Pavilion, his status is second only to the Pavilion Master! Not only that, but I have also heard of it...... In fact, long before the Pavilion Master created the Heavenly Pavilion, Shopkeeper Li was already the housekeeper of the Pavilion Master's family......"

Speaking of this, Gao Xi suddenly closed his mouth again. He felt as if he had said too much! Some things, whether they were true or not, had better be treated as rumors and stopped as soon as they were pointed!

After suddenly closing his mouth, Gao Xi reorganized his language, and when he spoke again, he changed his words and said: "In short, the only 'butler' in the Heavenly Pavilion who can get close to the pavilion master is the only one who is the shopkeeper Li! However, because he actually holds the position of the chief manager, he will wander around the branches of the Heavenly Pavilion all year round. And when we went to Qingtan Town, we happened to meet him and happened to be there to inspect, and in order to avoid more trouble, I didn't tell you the truth. Besides, shopkeeper Li also meant that, so I don't dare to disobey it......"

"Oh, I see. Alas, it's a pity! If I had known that he was the 'butler', I would have learned from him and taken the opportunity to learn more about the specific situation of the banana country, and maybe it would have come in handy now......!

"I'm sorry Ran'er, there are some things, even if I know, but at that time, I couldn't say it......"

"Ah, oh, it's okay, I understand! Besides, at that time, you didn't know what happened between me and Uncle Li? You didn't take the initiative to tell me this, and it was understandable! Besides, I didn't remember to ask you these things at that time, wasn't it? So, none of us was wrong about it! It's just that when I look back now, I inevitably feel that I really missed a great opportunity, and I feel a little pity......

After speaking, Gao Ran smiled faintly at Gao Xi, and then dismounted, letting Mi'er run wild on this grassland by himself for a while.

"Let's rest here for a while!"

As he spoke, Gao Ran took the lead in finding a random place and sat down directly.

"It's so warm here, I think, even if this is not in the Banana Country, most of it is not far from the Banana Country!"

"Hmm...... That being the case......" Zhao Yi suddenly approached Gao Ran, and deliberately said to her in a "peer" tone: "Girl, I'll discuss something with you......"

"Eh! let me guess first!" Before Zhao Yi could finish speaking, Gao Ran directly interrupted him, "Do you want to say, when we get to the banana country, we will go our separate ways? You look for your food, what about me, just do what I really want to do? In this way, we can all do what we want to do freely, and then when the time is almost up, we will make an appointment to meet at another place? Are you like this?"

"Hahaha, that's good! girl, it's not in vain that the old man loves you so much, you really understand the old man's mind very well!"

"Heh! If you achieve your goal, you will become an 'old man'?! Old man, you are really realistic!" Gao Ran sneered very unappreciatively.

"Eh, how can I speak! Don't forget, I'm your master!"

"Cut! Although I haven't met your master, I guess you're about the same as you're to him, right?! That being the case, then we're half a pound to eight taels! No one is much better than the other! You really don't have the right to say that about me! I'm called 'the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked'! And you are the 'upper beam'!"

"You!hmph!" Although Zhao Yi's face was a little red with anger, he didn't say anything in the end, but he deliberately ignored Gao Ran like a child's temper, walked to a place far away from her, and lay directly on the grass on his back, pretending to sleep.

"Huh. Looking at Zhao Yi's puffing appearance, Gao Ran was a little envious. In an instant, she suddenly fantasized: If she can live a little longer, or even live to an age like Zhao Yi, then she really hopes that by that time, she can also have a childlike heart like him.

However, when she thought of these things inadvertently, she suddenly woke up: she found that she seemed to be a little too delusional!

Then she couldn't help laughing at herself: "Don't be stupid! Not to mention, it's an unattainable luxury that you can live past adulthood! Even if a miracle really happens to you, you can live a little longer, even to his age...... But, do you have a 'childlike heart'?!

"If you don't have one...... Well, even if the fact is that you have not had a 'childlike heart' since you can remember, and you actually have no memory before that, how can you know that?

After thinking about it, Gao Ran couldn't help but shake her head with some hatred, feeling that her thoughts just now were really a little disappointing to her! How could she have such unrealistic ideas? It even made her feel so naïve!

"Ahh Then she rearranged her thoughts, gathered up all the nonsense she had just thought about, and buried them all consciously, subconsciously determined not to think about them anymore!—for those thoughts, in her opinion, were not only meaningless to her, but, if she thought too much, would make her "strange"!

-- Although this has not yet happened, she just has a bad premonition: she always feels that if she allows such wild thoughts to continue to grow and spread, then sooner or later she will be imperceptibly influenced by these "strange" thoughts of herself! She admits that she is afraid of such an influence! That's why she must be cautious and take precautions!

"Xi, are you interested in spending time with me in the 'two-person world'?"

"A world for two?"

"Oh, it's just the two of us living day and night.

"You've heard that from my master just now. What did he want to discuss with me? It was clearly a unilateral notice to me -- he had other plans and wanted me to cooperate!

"But that's fine, that's it, we're freer to act! He does what he wants, and we do what we want. Anyway, as long as you can finally meet at the appointed place at the appointed time, you will be fine.

"Hmm...... To be honest, I'm a fan of going separate like this.

"However, if you feel that you want to stay with my master more than with me, or if you actually want to walk around and see by yourself, then we can just take advantage of the moment to quickly unify our opinions, and then wait for a while to rest enough, and we will go straight to the banana country!

"Ran'er, you ask knowingly! Of course I want to be with you! It's best that we will never be separated at the ends of the earth!"

"Uh...... Hehe...... "Although she knew that Gao Xi deliberately wanted to say that, just to fight back against the little joke she made just now, it turned out that she was still very unaccustomed to his half-truth, but full of affection disguised confession-style "jokes". Even if she understood, she would still be embarrassed, and even goosebumps would rise all over her body because she felt numb!

No way, after such a back and forth, she can only smile awkwardly and end up with an embarrassing smile.
