Before entering the door, the little maid caught a glimpse of the person sitting in the hall, and immediately bowed respectfully.

"Young farmer."

Jiang Yuanzhong looked up, nodded lightly, and watched her lead Su Muxian and Wang Meng into the door and sit beside him in turn. Keenly aware of the gossip eyes projected by the little girls around him, Jiang Yuanzhong frowned and waved them back.

"Let's all go down first."

Yuan Yuan secretly stuck out his tongue behind his back, winked at Su Muxian again, and then withdrew with a respectful face.

There were only three of them left in the house.

Wang Meng calmly picked up the chopsticks and threw a piece of fish meat into his mouth, praising it: "It tastes good." ”

After a pause, he added, "Better than me." ”

Su Muxian: "...... You're the ace chef in our inn, don't belittle yourself so much and elevate others, okay? ”

Wang Meng smiled and didn't say anything.

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.

The three of them moved their chopsticks one after another, and occasionally chatted for a sentence or two.

While eating vegetables, Su Muxian looked at Jiang Yuanzhong's face, and secretly speculated in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't help asking, "Didn't you go to see your grandmother?" Why don't you ...... with her"

Why don't you eat with her, according to common sense, shouldn't this be a warm moment for grandparents and grandchildren to reunite.

"Her old man said that she was annoyed when she saw me, and she didn't want me to be an eyesore in front of her." Jiang Yuanzhong replied.

It was just a joke, but Su Muxian took it seriously, and let out a long "ah", and instantly remembered that the old lady in the wealthy house did not like the eldest grandson's eccentric second room and other bridges.

Jiang Yuanzhong knew that she wanted to be crooked again as soon as he saw her eyes, and reluctantly corrected: "It's not what you think, grandmother has already eaten, and she should invite you to a banquet tomorrow." ”

Su Muxian: "Oh. ”

Jiang Yuan glanced at her again, shaking his head, not ready to explain anything.

The above is naturally part of the reason, and the other part is that he is worried that Su Muxian and Wang Meng are not familiar with each other, for fear that they will be wronged on their own territory.

But speaking of which...... There shouldn't be many people in Excalibur Villa who have the courage to be disrespectful to the guests he brought back, right?

So why did he rush back in such a hurry?

Jiang Yuan pinched his chopsticks heavily and fell into a deep reflection on his own behavior.

……

Maybe it was because of the new environment, or because of the bed, at night, Su Muxian lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, so he got up and put on a coat and walked to the courtyard atrium.

"Why didn't I see you recognize the bed when I was at the inn before?"

A clear and slightly ridiculous voice came from behind, Su Muxian turned around and looked, Jiang Yuanzhong was also wearing a coat and stood in front of his door looking at her condescendingly, as if he had listened to her complaints word for word.

The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkled on his body, and even his expression was indescribably soft.

Originally, he was nearly a head taller than Su Muxian, and now standing on the steps made Su Muxian have to look up at him. Su Muxian felt a little sore after watching it for a while, and beckoned him to come down.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

Jiang Yuanzhong walked down the stone steps like a leisurely walk, with a lazy smile, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Recognize the bed." ”

Exactly what she said earlier.

Su Muxian didn't look awkward at all, and said confidently: "Your rich people's beds are too hard, isn't it normal that I can't sleep?" ”

Jiang Yuanzhong laughed in a low voice: "Yes, yes, what the shopkeeper said is that I will let people add another layer of velvet tomorrow." ”

His voice was deliberately low, yet so close that it sounded indescribably seductive.

Su Muxian's face was slightly red, and he glared at him shyly, saying in his heart how pure this person was disguised when he was in the inn, and he teased her at every turn after revealing his true face, which was really hateful...... Eh, wait, it seems like she used to joke a lot?

Without waiting for Su Muxian to think about it, Jiang Yuanzhong said, "The moonlight is good tonight, shopkeeper, let's go to the garden together?" ”

Su Muxian thought about it, and it happened that she also had something to say, so she nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

The garden was not far away, and the two walked away hand in hand, not noticing that the door of the guest room behind them was quietly opened, and the tall man held the door with one hand and rubbed it vigorously with the other in his hair.

"Young people don't sleep in the middle of the night to talk about what kind of love, affecting others to sleep."

Wang Meng sighed, stared at the backs of the two and shook his head: "I'm old, sure enough, I'm old." ”

After that, he covered his mouth and yawned, closed the door and turned around to continue to dream of Zhou Gong.

……

Garden, rockery pavilion.

The night breeze blows lightly, making the shadows of the trees swaying and the branches and leaves rustling.

The two of them quietly admired the moon for a long time through the gap in the woods, and finally it was Su Muxian who took the lead in asking, "Does your miracle doctor friend live far away from here?" You just got home, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience, why don't you tell me the address, I'll go myself......"

"Not far." Jiang Yuanzhong replied, "After the matter is dealt with in two days, I will send you to him." ”

After speaking, he felt that something seemed to be wrong, and added: "Although that guy is a doctor who hangs the pot to help the world, he also has some quirks, not everyone is willing to heal, it is better for me to take you there." ”

That being said, the guy counted all the patients he had received so far.

Jiang Yuanzhong swallowed this sentence back into his mouth.

Su Muxian did not doubt him, and nodded in response: "If it is convenient for you...... Then bother you. ”

Whenever she wanted to talk to Jiang Yuanzhong as usual, she couldn't help but think that his identity was different now, no longer the shopkeeper in her Jianghu Inn, but the young owner of the famous Shenjian Villa, so the tone of his voice couldn't help but add three points of politeness.

Jiang Yuanzhong could naturally feel this subconscious estrangement, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to say tactfully: "You don't have to be so raw, just be like before." ”

Su Muxian let out a low "um", and he didn't know if he heard it.

She stared at the shadows of the trees on the ground, peeled the fallen flowers she picked up from the side in her hands, organized her sentences, and then said, "Jiang Yuanzhong, ......"

"Hmm." Jiang Yuan replied again.

Su Muxian continued: "Although you didn't confess last time, I still want to know why you came incognito to be a shopkeeper in my inn. She glanced at Jiang Yuanzhong's face and asked, "Is it also related to the treasure map?" ”

Jiang Yuanzhong did not answer her question directly, but asked inexplicably: "Shopkeeper, how much do you know about your adoptive parents?" ”

Own adoptive parents?

Su Muxian didn't expect him to suddenly mention the late Old Li couple, he was stunned, and replied, "I should be quite understanding...... How do you ask this? ”

Jiang Yuanzhong said: "Decades ago, there was a couple on the rivers and lakes, the man's name was Situ Li, and the woman's name was unknown. The two of them are strong in martial arts, and they are good at fighting grievances, and they are quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and even have some friendship with Ouchi. ”

Su Muxian: "...... So? ”

She had a vague hunch.

Jiang Yuanzhong continued: "The couple later obtained a treasure map that was said to hide most of the treasury of the previous dynasty, which attracted many well-intentioned people to chase and kill, and finally had no choice but to hide in the city under the pseudonym Li Situ and open a small inn to make a living......

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuanzhong glanced up at her and said categorically: "The two of them are your adoptive parents, the Li couple. ”

Su Muxian: "......"

She was not as surprised as Jiang Yuanzhong expected, but lowered her head and pondered for a long time, just when Jiang Yuanzhong thought she was too surprised, she suddenly raised her face again.

"So in other words, my adoptive parents' martial arts are also very powerful?"

Su Muxian recalled carefully, except for being a little kinder and kinder, the old couple Li didn't look much different from ordinary people, who knew that they were also martial arts masters?

"How can I have the illusion that everyone around me knows martial arts." Su Muxian muttered.

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

Maybe not an illusion.

Jiang Yuanzhong couldn't bear to hit her, so he diverted the topic and said: "I was about to go to the Western Regions, and on the way I learned the news of the death of a friend, and the cause of death happened to be related to your inn and the treasure map, so I went to you halfway. ”

And the encounter with robbers on the road is indeed a real occurrence, but the objects of the robbery are transferred one by one.

Thinking of the bandits' den that he ransacked, Jiang Yuanzhong curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Friends? Death? Su Muxian repeated.

"Hmm." Jiang Yuanzhong replied vaguely, and was about to skip this topic, when suddenly he heard a click in his ear - the sound of a dead branch breaking.

The garden was already quiet, and the sound of a needle landing on the ground could be infinitely amplified, and this subtle movement was like a guiding light, guiding Jiang Yuanzhong to look in that direction.

"What people!"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already flown out on tiptoe, and swooped straight to the place where the strange noise was made.

Su Muxian's reaction was slower than him, and when he flew out, he stood up blankly, and was about to walk over, when he suddenly heard a commotion over there, and soon a familiar girl's voice with a crying voice sounded.

"The young master spares his life, the slave didn't mean it! It's definitely not here to disturb the young owner and Miss Su! ”

The voice was shrill with fear.

Su Muxian heard it for a moment and could tell that it was the voice of the little maid named Yuanyuan.
