Mu Ran has not slept very well recently, and in a trance, she always can't help but think of those days with Lin Hui, she remembers it now, and suddenly realizes that it was one of the few precious memories she cherished in her later life.

At that time, she opened the Yuexian Tower in Chang'an, enjoying the scenery as the owner of the building, so happy.

"My little ancestors, they all say that you are not deeply involved in the world, naturally I don't know how sinister this society is, although I will still hand over this rice line to you to take care of in the future, but your little girl has not experienced strong winds and waves, and now I don't let you hone more, how can I rest assured?!"

Although Li San said this, Mu Ran was still a little suspicious, and he couldn't make a decision, so he could only fall into silence.

"Boss Li is telling the truth!" It was also at this time that an old voice sounded, and the person who came turned out to be the third uncle, "Boss Li has discussed these things with the old slave, Miss, you are wrong to blame the good person!" ”

Mu Ran saw that the third uncle ran over in a hurry, only to feel warm in his heart, but in an instant, he felt worried, and hurriedly helped his old man to sit aside, and said, "Third uncle, you are so old, you are still running around, work like this, don't exhaust yourself." ”

"The old slave worries the young lady." Xu Shifang knew that the situation was urgent, the third uncle ran a little fast, and he was panting for breath at this time, and even had some difficulty speaking, so he could only say slowly word by word, "Just now, Shen Gongzi went to the old slave's shop to ask where the young lady went, and asked some things about Boss Li, and guessed that Boss Li must have misunderstood, so he rushed over." Miss ......"

The third uncle probably wanted to say something, but he was panting heavily. couldn't say anything, so scared that Mu Ran hurriedly let the third uncle rest well. Needless to say. It's just that something unexpected happened, but the third uncle's face became paler and paler as he got older, constantly rubbing his chest with his old dry hands, and seemed to be in extreme pain, and even the sound of panting was intermittent.

"Third uncle, what's wrong with you?" Mu Ran couldn't help but be worried, but the third uncle couldn't speak at this time, even the originally pale face had gradually turned red, and his two hands kept struggling in the void.

"Quick. Hurry up and see the doctor! Mu Ran made a decision immediately, Li San hurriedly called a few guys in the store to set up the third uncle, and several people hurriedly ran to the direction of the back door, Mu Ran also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li San and Tong Tong at the same time.

"Now Lord Yang may be watching me in the dark, Mu Ran, it's not convenient for you to show up at this time." Li Sanmian has a difficult color.

"Mu Ran, I know you're worried about the third uncle, but it's just the current situation. You're still here, and we'll keep you informed as soon as there's any news! Tong Tong couldn't help but persuade.

Although Mu Ran is anxious, he can't help it at the moment. She could only stay in the house alone, but she waited for a long time, but there was no news at all. Mu Ran didn't know what was going on, but it was still early outside. She didn't know where Lord Yang's people were guarding, so she didn't dare to go out openly like this. I could only wander anxiously around the house.

It was at this time that Mu Ran suddenly heard the sound of squirming, it seemed that someone was there to slip the door and pick the lock, Mu Ran's heart sank, and he could only guard the door vigilantly, just waiting for the movement outside the house, sure enough, someone came, Mu Ran was thinking about taking action, and the palm wind was already raised high, where did he know that the moment the door opened, it was Ah Luo's face that he saw. Mu Ran was taken aback, but where was the hand still contained, fortunately, Ah Luo immediately dodged quickly, but Mu Ran was not so lucky, Xu was a little panicked, and suddenly fell into a dog and ate, but in front of her was the high threshold, only to hear a grunt, Mu Ran only felt that the small bone of her right leg seemed to be misplaced.

Mu Ran almost wanted to make a sound in pain, but he still held back, and forced Ah Luo to drag him in, and told him to close the door tightly, Mu Ran was relieved.

"Mu Ran, are you okay?" Ah Luo looked at Mu Ran's grinning expression, and thought of how painful it should be, however, Mu Ran saw that Ah Luo was standing there stupidly, so he didn't get angry, and said painfully, "I said, can you help me find some ointment or something?!" ”

Ah Luo reacted back and hurriedly went to find medicine, however, when he found something, the sky also darkened, and before he reached the small cubicle in the rice line, he saw a completely black figure who seemed to want to do something to Mu Ran, Ah Luo immediately "improvized" to set up a huge vase, and smashed it on the head of the "bad guy with bad intentions" he thought was "ill-intentioned".

And then there's the result.

When Mu Ran finished speaking, Ah Luo waited for Su Yu to punish him, however, Su Yu just said: "It's okay if you're fine." "And for Arlo to hurt himself like this, he didn't mention it.

Ah Luo looked at Su Yu in some surprise, "Brother Shen, it's my fault, you ......" But in Ah Luo's opinion, Su Yu's silence is the most terrifying thing in the world. Mu Ran hurriedly covered Su Yu's mouth, and while pushing him out of the door, he whispered, "Everyone wants adults not to remember villains, you don't want to mention which pot you don't open, understand?" ”

Su Yu nodded again and again, and was driven out of the door by Mu Ran.

When there were only two people left in the room, Su Yu said lightly, "Do you think Li San's words are credible?" ”

"Li San?" Mu Ran frowned, to be honest, she had been worried about the third uncle's affairs just now, and then Su Yu was injured, and she was worried that he would go, so she really didn't have the heart to consider the truth in Li San's words, and now when Su Yu mentioned it, Mu Ran didn't know how to answer, and after thinking about it, she said, "Li San usually treats me well, not to mention that Tong Tong and the third uncle are the people I trust the most, I would rather believe that what Li San said is true." ”

"Hmm." Su Yu nodded, "I also believe in Li San's ......" Speaking of this, Su Yu suddenly paused, because Mu Ran was blinking at him with big eyes. The little hand probed his forehead and muttered to himself. "Well, the fever is gone." Su Yu felt the temperature of Mu Ran. Suddenly felt a little strange, the Adam's apple moved unconsciously, and just wanted to say something, when suddenly a discordant voice interjected, "Mu Ran!" Mu Ran! ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Mu Ran's eyes narrowed into a slit and looked at the door, Su Yu followed his line of sight, and his eyebrows were like willows. The man who was like a jade tree rushed in at this time, holding something as if offering a treasure, but his clear and bright eyes kept staring at Mu Ran.

"Lin Hui." Mu Ran seemed to be very happy to see this young man, and he didn't care about Su Yu, and happily jumped to his side.

"Mu Ran, look, this is my newly learned word!" Lin Hui said and unfolded the calligraphy in his hand, and it turned out to be a few big characters that were vigorous and powerful, not at all like he looked so soft and weak.

"Wow!" Mu Ran also seemed to be a little incredulous. couldn't help but exclaim, "Lin Hui, you are so amazing!" He gave a thumbs up.

However, Lin Hui scratched his head a little embarrassed. "Yes...... It's a good teacher to teach! ”

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. Obscure...... My Fair Lady, Gentleman...... Great! "Although I am a little unskilled in memorization. It's just that for him, it's really a leap forward. Mu Ran's eyes couldn't help but light up, but at this time, Su Yu suddenly coughed lightly, and Mu Ran realized that there were still patients in the room, so she could only persuade, "Lin Hui, let's play together later, there are still people sleeping here!" ”

"Good!" Lin Hui stuck out his tongue and ran out with a smile.

Mu Ran slowly walked to Su Yu's side. With a slight apology on his face, "Did you disturb your sleep?" ”

Su Yu's expression was really a little serious, but he shook his head silently and closed his eyes. Mu Ran didn't know what was wrong with Su Yu, but he didn't pay attention to himself, he couldn't stick his cold ass with a hot face, thinking of this, Mu Ran was about to leave, but Su Yu opened his mouth at this time, "Do you like him?" ”

"Huh?" Su Yu suddenly asked like this, which made Mu Ran a little overwhelmed, "Who do you like?" Lin Hui? ”

"Hmm." Responded coldly.

"I like it!" Mu Ran replied without thinking, "I have never seen anyone as pure as him, probably because the place where he grew up was uninhabited, he couldn't speak when he first came, and he looked timid when he saw everyone, but those big eyes seemed to be ...... It's like ......"

Before Mu Ran's words were finished, Su Yu interrupted her, "Mu Ran, I'm sleepy." He closed his eyes as he spoke.

Mu Ran's words could only be abruptly stopped, although Mu Ran didn't know why, but he also realized that Xu was talking too much, so he could only say sorry, so he cautiously limped out, and when she just walked out of the door, she saw Ah Luo squatting in the corner, with his hands on his knees, just resting his head on his arms, as if he was asleep.

"Hey, wake up." Mu Ran tiptoed to him, only to find that Ah Luo was really asleep, Mu Ran couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only tell him to wake up, "Ah Luo, if you continue to sleep like this, you will catch a cold!" ”

Arlo opened his eyes and rubbed his sleepy eyes, he was still in a trance, "What's wrong?" Is it dawn? ”

"Idiot." Mu Ran was speechless for an instant, "Anyway, you are also the master of the Li family, sleeping here, how embarrassing!" ”

Mu Ran said this, and Ah Luo finally reacted, he was squatting outside Su Yu's door and fell asleep, "How is Su Yu?" Don't be stupid! ”

"It's a little weird!" Mu Ran suddenly remembered the strange question Su Yu asked and his somewhat unusual behavior, and he felt a little puzzled.

"It's over!" Ah Luo was instantly hit like a thunderbolt from the sky, "What did Su Yu really do by me now, what should I do, shouldn't he come to me to settle accounts with him?!" ”

"What do you think?!" Mu Ran saw that this kid was still immersed in his own superfluous fear, so he could only use her crutches to drag him into his own room, and finally pulled him into the room out of breath, Mu Ran closed the door with a snap, this action scared Ah Luo half to death, "Mu Ran, I'm also your little uncle, Su Yu shouldn't send you to kill me!" ”

"That's smart! You've found out! Mu Ran approached Ah Luo with a smile, and when she finally jumped in front of him, Mu Ran said viciously. Say it, Arlo. Li San seems to have a good relationship with you, why do you have to slip the door and pick the lock when you enter his rice shop? What the hell do you have in mind!? ”

Mu Ran didn't expect it. As soon as she mentioned this, Arlo became even more panicked, waving her hand again and again, "What, no, what can I do." Mu Ran, I am innocent! ”

"Of course I know you're innocent!" Mu Ran said, "However, you seem to owe me an explanation!" Or do you want me to go to Su Yu to torture you to extract a confession! ”

"Don't!" Ah Luo grabbed Mu Ran. "I promise, I definitely don't have any thoughts about Li San, Mu Ran, I also have my own troubles, I really can't say!" Nonsense, I still have a way to live without telling the truth, and if I really tell you the truth, I won't die here!

Mu Ran looked at Lin Ai's silent appearance, and felt a little puzzled. Didn't Arlo fall on both sides of the wall? I don't usually see how much loyalty he has, what kind of secret is hidden in this kid?

However, seeing that the coercion and temptation did not work, Mu Ran had no way but to shake his head. "Since you don't say it, I can't help it! But," she said, accentuating her tone. "Ah Luo, Ah Luo, how did I hear that you have a lot of complaints about our family's Lin Hui. You must not bully him, or else. Hehe," she said with a gloomy smile, and the words that followed were even more self-evident, but they really scared Arlo out of a cold sweat, and he could only wave his hand again and again, "Don't worry, I will never do!" Absolutely not! ”

"That's good!" Mu Ran said and was about to get up and leave, "Then you have a good rest, see you tomorrow!" As he spoke, he flashed away.

Ah Luo exhaled a long breath, wiped a handful of cold sweat, and said to himself, "This girl, her legs are broken and she still moves so fast, it's really amazing!" Having said that, however, Arlo did not go to bed as usual, but stepped into the windowsill outside, looked around, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he stared a little distracted at the dark sky outside the window. A short time later, a snow-white white dove flew from afar, and Arlo stretched out his hands, and the pigeon landed lightly on his palm.

"Baby, thanks to you!" As he spoke, he stroked the smooth and supple feathers of the white dove's back, but with his right hand he gently took out the small scroll tied to its claws, and after spreading it out to look at it, Arlo sighed softly and muttered, "Still haven't found anything?" ”

In spite of this, he wrote something hard, tied it to the pigeon again, and with a wave of his hands, let her go away with the breeze, and he looked up in silence at the direction where the white light had disappeared, but his eyes were full of bright stars.

Waiting for the next day, Li San looked at the room full of gifts in surprise, and said to Mu Ran, "I said Mu Ran's little girl, do you think Li San and I are such a stingy person?" Didn't you just misunderstand me? Where am I so embarrassed to take so much from you? ”

"It should be, it should be." Mu Ran sat in the wheelchair calmly, looked around, and said to Li San with a smile, "Uncle Li, I misunderstood you before, where is this little gift to express my apologies!" ”

"Girl, it's enough for you to have this heart." Li San shook his head, but there was a slight hint of apology on his face, "Besides, Uncle Li's previous things were not clear to you, and it was my fault, I am so happy if you don't blame me, where can I receive so many gifts from you?" "As he spoke, the people were going to return all the things."

Mu Ran hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle Li, I said that this is my intention, if you don't accept it, it means that your child is angry with Mu Ran, isn't it?" ”

"Of course not." Li San heard Mu Ran say this, and his face was embarrassed, "It's just that now that the imperial court has suppressed the price of rice so low, and this 'Jiuchi Meat Forest' has been seized again, how can Uncle Li be embarrassed to accept such a big gift from you when it is so urgent?" Listen to Uncle Li's words, be good, let's take things back! ”

"What should I be? So you care about this? Mu Ran was relieved at this time, smiled meaningfully, and then said, "It's also my fault that I hid it from you at the beginning, almost everyone in the court now knows about me and her Princess Changge's Liangzi, and I'm afraid that it is because of the trouble that we have lowered the price of rice, but who is in charge of the court?" That's not the emperor, the emperor didn't say that he wanted to lower the price, who do you think can have such power? ”

"Shall it?" Li San looked at Mu Ran with some astonishment, as if he had guessed a few points, but at the same time he was a little puzzled.

Mu Ran said, "People who only know the truth but don't know the truth probably just think that Lin Liange died because of me, only a few people know the truth of the matter, even if they know the truth, they were also silenced by the emperor, and now the court only thinks that I am the culprit, naturally I want to entrap the emperor and desperately lower the price of rice, the emperor has taken this into account, but because there is no action on the surface, but secretly it still gives me a lot of benefits. At least there is no problem in solving the food and clothing of our family......"

It's just that although Mu Ran said it easily, Li San didn't sound very comfortable, he was now full of questions, and he always felt that the truth was not as simple as Mu Ran said, and he couldn't help but speak after holding it for a long time, "As far as I know, how do I think the emperor in your mouth is not like the one I heard about?" ”

"Really?" Mu Ran was stunned for a moment, remembering his actions, but he still nodded, "It's really not as ...... as I imagined."

"Groundless wind may not be without cause." Li San stroked the mustache on his chin, and said while thinking, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it directly, since it is rumored that the emperor is not a good person, he naturally has his reasons, you see that there are more and more hungry refugees outside, and our taxes are getting higher and higher, which has nothing to do with him, Mu Ran, you and him have only met a few times, but don't be deceived by superficial phenomena!" ”

"Of course I know this!" Mu Ran still felt that Li San was thinking too much, and waved his hand at him, "I'm also a businessman, how can I not see his tricks, it's just that he is willing to give me this sweetness, I naturally have to accept it gladly, and when he suddenly becomes unhappy and withdraws those secret benefits, then we will think about countermeasures, then it's not too late, don't you say?" Okay, I said Uncle Li, there is wine today and drunk today, but it hasn't reached that time yet, so why bother thinking too much? Look, your hair is a lot grayer?! ”

However, although Mu Ran seemed to be full of indifference, Li San looked at her, and always felt that she always seemed to be hiding something under her smile, but Mu Ran didn't say it, and Li San couldn't speak, so he could only make a pot of tea alone in silence.

Mu Ran saw that Li San no longer asked secretly, so he cautiously and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed his hands on the hem of his clothes, but he didn't expect that he would have a cold sweat on his hand, but looking at Li San like this, he shouldn't have seen any clues.

As soon as he thought of this, Mu Ran secretly glanced at Li San again, and saw that he was concentrating on smelling the fragrance of tea, so he wanted to take the opportunity to say goodbye, "Uncle Li, then Mu Ran won't bother you, Mu Ran will leave first!" ”

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Li San suddenly stopped himself, Mu Ran put his hands on the wheelchair for a moment, and turned back with some trembling, his expression was a little stiff, "...... What for? ”

Li San smiled and said, "What are you nervous about, this is a good tea I bought, it's not too late for you to taste it!" ”

"What should I do!" Mu Ran smiled at this time, "Since it is a baby, of course I want to taste it!" ”

The dream came to an abrupt end, Mu Ran opened his eyes, it was the same as the calm time in the past, but no one knew the dark tide surging, Mu Ran was lying on the bed, a pair of clear eyes were unpredictable at this time, tossing and turning, and the sky was already bright, at that time Lin Hui's figure was familiar and unfamiliar, but Mu Ran clearly knew that Lin Hui was so real, after Lin Hui cheated his death, he was taken under the head of Penglai, and then there was nowhere to be found, Mu Ran knew what was best for Lin Hui, So I didn't look for him.

It's just that why did he suddenly appear in front of his eyes, and why did he disappear again after saving his life, Mu Ran thought about this, that is, he didn't even notice that his back was already sweaty. (To be continued......)
