Chapter 145: The Formation of Doubts
Shen Jia saw that Ran Ran avoided talking about it, and was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ridicule: "Why? Are you really going to wait for the Gu family's little overlord? Actually, Nanshan is not bad, and ......"
In the middle of speaking, Ran Ran pounced on her and covered her mouth, squeezing her eyebrows to signal that there was someone outside. Shen Jia was suspicious, but after listening to Ran Ran's whispered a few words in her ear, she also put away her jokes.
Seeing Ran Ran sliding into me and waving her hand to signal her to leave, Shen Jia had no choice but to stand up and say, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it, you rest first, I'll go see the old lady." ”
Ran Ran said that Nanshan's expression was wrong, as if she was hiding something from them, and asked her to be more vigilant.
But Shen Jia seems to think that Nanshan is interesting to Ranran, and now Ranran is guarding against others, which feels a little too much. Besides, who doesn't point their own **, if they don't regard other people's secrets as malice, it's a little unreasonable.
Shen Jia pushed the door out, and sure enough, he saw Nanshan standing at the door. She thought about it, but still closed the door behind her back, and asked with a smile: "Hey, Nanshan, why are you?" Is there anything going on with Ranran? ”
"No, I want to find you." Nanshan shook his head.
"Looking for me?" Shen Jia pointed to his nose and said curiously.
"I didn't know what I did wrong just now, I made her unhappy, and I ask you to help." Nanshan glanced at the window, as if he knew that someone was eavesdropping in the house, and pretended to be quiet, but he didn't lower his voice.
Shen Jia thought left and right, and winked at Nanshan, "I thought it was something, don't worry, she doesn't hold grudges against her own people, and it will be better to have a little temper soon, don't worry." It's you, why are you so concerned about her? ”
Nanshan pretended not to see Shen Jia's ambiguous eyes, and replied lightly: "I just think she looks like my sister." ”
Shen Jia deliberately raised his tone, obviously saying it to the people in the room. "Yo, there are many kinds of sisters, which one are you talking about?"
Nanshan paused and sighed: "I have a sister who is about the same age as Ranran. But he was killed many years ago. ”
Hearing that Nanshan used to kill, not die, Shen Jia's words were stuck in his throat, and he only said one sentence for a long time: "Eh." Then you mourn and change. ”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, but Nanshan reacted first and left with an excuse. Shen Jia immediately went to blame Ranran, but he didn't tell her in advance, which made her very embarrassed.
Ran Ran only glanced at her. But I had a different plan in my heart.
Early the next morning, Ran Ran asked Ah Fu to accompany Nanshan back and go to the mountain to deal with the tombstone by the way. Nanshan looked at Ran Ran as if she had nothing to do, smiling like a flower, and did not forget to tell them to be careful on the road, so he hid his emotions.
The name of the inn was originally intended to be called Yuelai Inn at the request of Ranran, but unfortunately the time was too rushed, so I had to write a few big words directly on the door.
But. The business is very prosperous, Yunluo Village has been isolated from the world, and there are few outsiders in a year, not to mention the inn, and even the places to eat are a few stalls.
There were so many people eating that he almost couldn't cope with it, so Nanshan volunteered to get up early every day to help and come back in the evening. Ran Ran was worried that it would be too hard to go back and forth, so she asked him to simply live there, but Nanshan said that he needed to send fresh wine and meat every day. It's not convenient to stay.
Ran Ran was no longer reluctant, because he got up early and returned late, for five days in a row, the money earned by the inn was also extremely considerable.
"Lady. Nanshan is back. ”
Ah Fu walked in from the night, Ran Ran immediately jumped down, looked carefully outside the house, and then closed the door before asking mysteriously, "Is there any letter from Ah Cai?" ”
"Well, it's here, too." Ah Fu took out a word from his bosom. There were some strange symbols drawn on it, and Ah Fu scratched his head and didn't seem to understand it for a long time, but Ran Ran read it vigorously.
"Two quarters of the hour, no hour, three hours of the hour, no hour, one hour of the hour, five hours of the hour...... Really. As soon as the hand tightened, the paper was instantly crumpled, like a brow on Ranran's forehead.
Because Ah Cai is illiterate, Ran Ran specially called him a symbol instead of time, in order to know if Nanshan had gone to the store to help.
Shen Jia persuaded her not to be too suspicious, but Ran Ran insisted on statistics, preferring to think too much about herself rather than being stuffed in the dark in the end.
Sure enough, except for the first two days, it was quite on time. From the third day onwards, it was delayed for nearly an hour, and the time to leave the inn was almost always untimely. That is to say, after Nanshan left home, he was not in the inn most of the time, except for the time on the way back and forth, at least more than an hour a day was missing.
Ranran's face became more and more solemn, and Ah Fu also became nervous, "What's wrong with the lady?" He didn't know why Ran Ran asked Ah Cai to record Nanshan's whereabouts, but he didn't ask, judging from her expression, Ah Fu felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
"Does Nanshan go out on time every day?"
"Almost, it's basically about four o'clock in the morning."
"That's right." Ran Ran sighed, "Nanshan hid it from us every day, disappeared for more than an hour, and didn't know where to run." Although he and I are not as close as the rest of us, I don't like to be kept in the dark by living under the same roof. ”
Ah Fu's attitude towards Nanshan is more direct than Ah Cai's, because he and Mr. Hu helped take care of the Gu family's affairs, so Ah Fu has always regarded him as a nobleman. "Maybe he just has his own business to do."
Ran Ran glanced at Ah Fu and said quietly: "I know, he is different from us, he can come and go at any time." But since I live on my turf and want to make small moves right under my nose, I'm not so easy to fool. ”
From the time Nanshan said to get an umbrella, but only came back after his clothes were worn out, Ran Ran felt that something was wrong with Nanshan's expression. In the past few days, she has found that Nanshan's clothes are particularly dirty, and they seem to have rubbed in the dirt and grass.
She once asked Ah Fu about the weeds in it, but Ah Fu said that these weeds are only found in the mountains, and they don't grow everywhere, which makes Ran Ran suspicious.
If Nanshan really wants to find that feng shui land, he can explain it to her, and she won't stop her. But Nanshan stopped Ran Ran and didn't want her to look for it, but she secretly ran behind her back, how could this make Ran Ran not suspicious.
At this time, Shen Jia came back in a hurry, and when he saw that the door was closed, he was stunned for a moment when he pushed the door and saw Ah Fu.
"What's wrong?" Ran Ran motioned for Ah Fu to leave first.
Shen Jia turned sideways to let Ah Fu leave, and didn't care about teasing, so he became anxious: "Do you want to go over and see the old lady, she is a little strange." ”
After Miao Ling returned home, the daily routine of taking care of Old Madam Gu fell on Shen Jia and Ranran. Most of the time during the day, Shen Jia was guarding, and after dinner, he changed to the past, and by the way, he kept vigil until dawn.
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu didn't toss, except for three meals, it was more troublesome, and most of the time she only needed someone to accompany her.
But Shen Jia found that the old lady Gu always had some incomprehensible actions when she was sober. "Since the day before yesterday, she suddenly began to speak, but not much, only a few words occasionally, I thought she was uncomfortable, humming a few words. But I was startled by the long talk this morning, and the sound of happy laughter startled me. I asked her, and she ignored me, just talking to herself. ”
"Have you ever asked for a doctor?" Ran Ran was also a little nervous when she listened, and her steps quickened.
"Where can I walk away, you all run away without a shadow, and Miao Ling is not there, just me, I don't even dare to run around the yard." (To be continued.) )
