Chapter 122: Returning Home (2nd Watch)
If she didn't have the experience of her previous life, Mu Yan would definitely be moved by what Mu Chaoyang helped just now, but her previous life was too miserable after all, and it made her feel that her bones hurt when she thought about it.
She didn't speak, just sat quietly.
I kept combing through the events of these days in my mind, one by one, one by one, looking for clues from them.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the mouth of the Jiang family's alley.
Mu Yan got out of the carriage and hurried to the door of the house, the door locked inside.
Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, why did he lock the door in broad daylight?
"Girl, do you want to knock on the door?" Taohong stretched out her arm and asked Mu Yan.
Mu Yan nodded.
Peach knocked on the door, and after a while, someone came to open the door, it was Jiang Yuelan, Jiang Yuelan was very careful, and asked through the crack in the door, "Who is it?" ”
"It's me." Mu Yan replied, "Your sister." ”
Jiang Yuelan was suddenly excited, quickly opened the door, grabbed Mu Yan's hand and said happily, "Sister, why are you back?" ”
Mu Yan had never been back so often, and this was the first time.
Mu Yan didn't answer Jiang Yuelan's question, but frowned and asked, "Why did you lock the door in broad daylight?" ”
Jiang Yuelan looked at the Niu family's side room and whispered, "I don't know, my mother asked me to lock the door." ”
"Mother let you lock the door?" Mu Yan rolled up his sleeves, his eyes becoming more and more puzzled, "What's wrong?" What about dad and big brother? ”
Jiang Yuelan was very helpless and shook her head, "Dad and eldest brother, don't ask, but my mother is very strange." She whispered, "In the morning, Mrs. Hou of Pingyang Hou's Mansion sent someone to invite her mother over, and her mother went to a trip, and when she came back, she vomited and made trouble, tossed for a long time, just fell asleep, and asked me to lock the door, as if to guard against people." ”
Jiang Yuelan shrank her willow eyebrows and said, "I don't know what my mother and that Mrs. Hou said, but my mother said, don't let me talk about this matter, I'll only tell you alone." ”
Mu Yan's heart couldn't help but suddenly.
Why did Mrs. Pingyang Hou suddenly call Niu's over? The two of them can't beat them with eight poles!
And after coming back, Niu also let the door be locked, indicating that he must be afraid of something.
Mu Yan's heart was beating faster, she felt that there must be something strange in this, and maybe it had something to do with her.
Mu Yan pressed his heart and comforted Jiang Yuelan, "It's okay, my mother has always liked the chatter of gods, I'll go see her." By the way, she asked Taohong to give Jiang Yuelan a handful of copper coins, and she said, "I haven't eaten at noon, you go buy some food and come back." ”
It just so happened that Jiang Yuelan didn't eat either, she smiled, and then went out to buy food.
Mu Yan asked Peach and Green to lock the door inward, and then guarded the door, and she entered Niu's room alone.
Although it was daytime, the room was a little dark, and there was a sour smell floating in the air, which was unpleasant.
Mu Yan couldn't help pinching her nose, she saw Niu Shi lying on the kang, her face was very pale, as if she had lost her blood.
She sat quietly on the edge of the kang and looked at Niu carefully, and there were obvious bruises on Niu's forehead, as if they were left by the impact.
Looking at it this way, Niu seems to have been tortured.
Mu Yan frowned.
She didn't know who would torture the Niu family, could it be Mrs. Hou's Lin family?
But why did Lin torture a village woman?
Mu Yan's heart was full of doubts.
Niu Shi seemed to be in pain, and the person who was obviously asleep kept frowning, and muttered in his mouth, "No, don't...... I don't eat, I don't eat......"
What to eat?
Mu Yan was even more confused.
After Niu Shi whispered, he suddenly got up, stretched out three fingers and pulled his head into his mouth, naging while picking at the same time, as if he was about to vomit.
Mu Yan hurriedly slapped Niu's back, and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Listen to Yuelan say that you have been throwing up? ”
Niu Shi had her eyes closed, but when she heard a sudden voice in her ears, and called her mother, she was suddenly startled and hurriedly turned back to look.
What fell into his eyes was Mu Yan's clean face.
Niu Shi looked at Mu Yan, her face suddenly lost blood, and she even shrank back involuntarily, as if she had seen some terrible beast, her eyes were full of horror.
"You...... What are you doing here? Niu stammered, weak and scared.
Mu Yan didn't expect Niu to have such a big reaction, but he was stunned for a moment.
However, the greater Niu's reaction, the greater the secret she must have hidden in her heart.
Mu Yan froze, and immediately smiled, "There is nothing to do today, I'll come to see you." ”
She got up and poured a bowl of warm water for Niu.
Mu Yan handed the water to Niu, and then said in a concerned tone, "I think you seem to be very uncomfortable, do you want to invite a doctor to come over and take a look?" ”
Niu's heart was weak, and he dared to invite a doctor to come over and take a look, so he hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm fine, I don't need to ask a doctor." He hurriedly explained, "Maybe what I ate yesterday is not restrained, wait and let Yuelan go to the pharmacy to buy me two hawthorn pills, just eat two pills." ”
Mu Yan remained silent and nodded, "It's okay." ”
Niu Shi drank the water tremblingly, for fear of revealing the horse's feet, and handed the bowl to Mu Yan while saying, "Do you agree with the old lady when you come back?" ”
Mu Yan put down the bowl and turned around, "Well, agreed, I told her old man before I came, don't worry!" ”
She took a pillow for Niu and let Niu lean on the pillow.
Niu's heart was even more weak, and he didn't even dare to make eye contact with Mu Yan.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she was shaky as if she had collapsed.
Mu Yan frowned, wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, and said slowly, "Let's ask a doctor to take a look, I'm sweating." ”
Niu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced a smile, "It's really fine, I won't trouble you......"
Mu Yan withdrew his hand without a trace, "You say it's okay, it's okay, it's just that your body is your own, if you really feel uncomfortable, just tell me, I'll call someone to ask the doctor to come over." ”
Niu nodded weakly, pinched his temples and said, "It's just that I'm very tired, I'll sleep first." ”
She didn't dare to say a word to Mu Yan, she just wanted to escape.
Mu Yan didn't give her a chance to sleep, and frowned, "Don't sleep yet, there's something I want to ask you." ”
When Niu Shi heard this, the cold sweat on his forehead came down again, and he felt very tormented all over, and said for a while, "Mother is really tired, can't you wait for me to sleep?" ”
Mu Yan stretched out his leg without saying a word, then slowly took off the shoes and socks on his right foot, and said with a smile, "Actually, there is nothing particularly important, I just want to ask, how did the burn on the sole of my foot come from?" I remember you saying that it seems like you've had ...... since you were a child" (To be continued. )
