Chapter 219: Chasing
Later that day, Shen Lan and the Xu family went to the foot of the mountain to buy some wild fruits and snacks and came back, and they didn't deliberately inquire about the later things, after all, Shen Lan is also a foreigner, even if they want to inquire, they can't find anything, so it's better to wait for the news to spread.
In this way, the next day Shen Lan and Xu went to swim in Bishui Lake again, in the summer, the lotus leaves on the lake are blue, the pink and white lotus flowers are very beautiful, accompanied by the breeze on the lake from time to time, there are bursts of lotus fragrance, plus it is on the water, it is good to escape the heat.
In this way, Shen Lan stayed on the lake for a day, and when she came back after dark, she heard the shopkeeper claim that someone came to her, Shen Lan was very strange about this, she didn't know anyone in Jinzhou, how could someone suddenly come to her?
Or Xu Shi on the side said: "Madam, could it be Liu Gongzi?" ”
Shen Lan only then remembered that she asked Liu Ru to paint, but did she make an appointment for three days, she still planned to get the painting tomorrow, but she didn't expect the other party to be so anxious, so Shen Lan asked: "Little second brother, did the person who came to find me leave any news?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head, and then replied: "Mrs. Song, that person didn't leave, knowing that Mrs. Song lived here, he directly opened a local house to live in." ”
Hearing this, Shen Lan felt that it would not be Liu Ruyi, so Liu Ru didn't need to live in an inn for a painting, and besides, people were locals, so Shen Lan couldn't help but be a little curious about the people who were looking for her, so she said: "Since I'm back, please trouble the second brother to spread the word, so that I can see who is looking for me." ”
"Okay, then Mrs. Song will sit in this lobby for a while. I'll go and tell the man. The shopkeeper immediately responded, Shen Lan nodded, and the shopkeeper turned around and went to the room with the number of places, and Shen Lan and Xu also found an empty table and sat down.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought people over, Shen Lan and Xu couldn't help but be stunned, it was not a stranger who came, but Shen Changhai, seeing that it was him, Shen Lan couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that something happened at home?
"Changhai. What are you doing here? Is there something going on at home? Shen Lan couldn't care about anything. Whoosh got up from his chair and greeted him.
"No, my subordinates didn't worry about the master going out alone, so I came here." Shen Changhai said with a straight face, for Shen Lan not to listen to his advice. A person who ran out with Xu's mother was very dissatisfied.
Shen Lan didn't expect this to be the reason. One is the feeling that I am a little angry. The footsteps towards Shen Changhai also stopped, and his originally nervous face eased, but it changed color a little at this moment.
"Ma'am. Since it's Changhai, let's go back to our yard and talk about it. Xu also followed. Shen Lan nodded stiffly, and reluctantly gave the shopkeeper a smile, "Thank you, little second brother, this is the housekeeper in my family who found it, presumably there is something at home." ”
"Mrs. Song walks slowly." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Here, Shen Lan and Xu took Shen Changhai to the rented courtyard, Xu went to the house and lit the lamp, and Shen Lan and Shen Changhai followed in, Shen Lan walked to the table and sat down, and Xu went out of the house at this time.
"Sit down." Shen Lan spoke lightly, and Shen Changhai, who was standing on the side, walked to the side and sat down, endured it, and Shen Lan asked again: "You just left your family's business and rushed over?" ”
Hearing Shen Lan say this, Shen Changhai was a little weak-hearted, he originally felt that he was quite reasonable, but at this time, he was a little uncomfortable when Shen Lan asked him like this, but he didn't speak, but stubbornly looked down at the table.
Shen Lan didn't know what to say about him, usually he followed him the most, and he was also concerned about himself, but he didn't expect to entrust him with the affairs of the family this time, he fell off the chain, and Shen Lan was really a little angry when he said it.
"Why don't you speak, when did you come along?" Shen Lan asked.
"The day after the master left." Shen Changhai replied in a low voice, because he was busy late in the shop, so he didn't bother the master to rest, or the next day he found out that the master was not at home, so he pulled the horse and chased him out, in fact, he hurried all the way, and came earlier than Shen Lan and them, but he didn't know where Shen Lan lived, and inquired about almost half of the inn in Jinzhou City, and then he found out where Shen Lan lived.
As soon as he entered the city, he went to the inn to inquire everywhere, but Shen Lan hadn't arrived at that time, how could he find out? In the end, he found Jia Xiangtian's shop, and after Jia Xiangtian asked him why he came to Jinzhou, he inquired about the time when Shen Lan came to Jinzhou, and then told him that Shen Lan would not come to Jinzhou so soon, after all, Shen Lan was in a carriage, and he must have to rest on the road, which was different from his day and night, and finally persuaded him not to ask around.
After calculating the same time, he sent someone to inquire with him, and then he found out that Shen Lan lived in the Yuelai Inn, and knew that people lived here, so Shen Changhai naturally refused to leave, and sent away the subordinates of the Jia family, and he was left in the inn.
Shen Lan was dizzy when she heard this, how much less business does her own food and taste have to do these days? Thinking of this, Shen Lan felt a little heartbroken, and when she saw Shen Changhai, her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes.
"You look like this, I dare to entrust you with family affairs in the future? Or do you stay with me as a guard and thug all your life? Shen Lan asked in a deep voice angrily.
"Originally, I only wanted to be a guard for my master." Shen Changhai muttered a little childishly at this time.
Shen Lan had never asked what these people under her thought were, and now that Shen Changhai said this, Shen Lan was also stunned, and couldn't help but look at Shen Changhai, who was looking down and his face was paralyzed.
"Changhai, can you tell me what you want to do?" Shen Lan asked in a slowed voice.
Shen Changhai glanced up at Shen Lan, and quickly lowered his head, there was a touch of hesitation on his face that was originally paralyzed, and at this moment, Xu Shi came over with a pot of freshly brewed tea, walked to the table and gave Shen Lan and Shen Changhai a cup each.
"Mrs. and Changhai have tea." After pouring the tea, he stepped aside and guarded.
"Mother Xu, I'm a little hungry after walking all the way, you go and borrow a stove from the kitchen and help me make some white porridge to make supper." Shen Lan turned her head to Xu Shi and ordered, and Xu Shi hurriedly replied, "Okay." The old slave will go. ”
After speaking, Xu walked out of the house, but he knew in his heart that his wife had something to say to Shen Changhai, so that Shen Lan and Shen Changhai were left in the house, Shen Lan did not speak, Shen Changhai seemed to be still thinking about Shen Lan's question, and there was some silence in the room for a while.
After a long time, Shen Changhai opened his mouth and said, "Master, you bought me during the famine, brought me and the others to Immortal Island, and gave us food, so that we could no longer go hungry." It has already saved our lives. Not to mention that later we invited a master and a master to teach us literacy and martial arts, and the master is the only existence in our hearts. ”
"When I knew that I was chosen by my master to be able to guard my master's side, I once secretly swore in my heart that no matter where my master went. I'm going to follow everywhere. Protect the master from the slightest harm. The master took an old woman out alone this time, how can you let your subordinates rest assured? ”
Shen Lan didn't expect that Shen Changhai had positioned himself in the position of a guard, so it was no wonder that he panicked. I probably still feel that I don't take him with me when I go out, is it because he is not dutiful enough.
"Changhai, you should have found out, you learned a lot of things in Xiandao, and now you are just using me as a guard, isn't it too big and useless?" Shen Lan tried to explain.
Shen Changhai shook his head and replied with a dead eye: "Master, compared to others, I don't have so much thought, as long as I can protect the safety of my master, my subordinates will be satisfied. ”
Hearing that Shen Lan had a headache, why was this kid a little dead-eyed, just when Shen Lan didn't know what to say, Shen Changhai then spoke: "So please don't drive me away." ”
Shen Lan saw that Shen Changhai's expression did not seem to be fake, and with such a loyal guard by his side, Shen Lan was actually very satisfied, thought about it and then said: "Changhai, if one day Changsheng and they all betray me, which side will you stand on?" ”
Maybe it was Shen Changhai's simple mind, Shen Lan couldn't help but feel a little tempted, and Shen Changhai's face turned cold when he heard this, and his eyes showed a fierce light and said: "Master, are they disrespectful to you?" The subordinates went and killed them. ”
After finishing speaking, she was about to get up and walk out, but Shen Lan didn't expect Shen Changhai to react like this, and hurriedly said, "Come back, I'll just ask." ”
Shen Changhai turned around, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and always felt that it was not groundless for the master to ask this, but he also stopped and turned to look at Shen Lan.
"I came to Golden State this time because something really happened to Xiandao." Shen Lan sighed and said, Shen Changhai walked back when he heard this, and looked at Shen Lan incomprehensibly, Shen Lan reached out and grabbed Shen Changhai's arm when he saw this, and they appeared on Immortal Island in a moment.
At this time, the space island was no longer taken care of, so it was also deserted, and even the houses that were originally inhabited were a little depressed because no one lived in them, Shen Changhai couldn't help but feel weird when he saw such an island, what about the people on this island?
"I found out that the people on the island were betrayed, so I wanted to send the people on the island out, so now there is no one on the island." Shen Lan spoke softly.
Shen Changhai nodded when he heard this, but he didn't agree with the master's approach, what was the use of such a person to keep, the master actually ran so far in order to leave a way for those people to live, thinking of this, Shen Changhai was a little dissatisfied.
"Why does the master have to be so troublesome, disobedient people can just throw them into the sea to feed the sharks, why go all the way to Jinzhou?" Shen Changhai naturally knows the master's ability, and he didn't see it when he was a child, everything here can move according to the master's mind, and the master can throw people into the sea or crocodile pool even if he doesn't come in.
Shen Lan didn't expect Shen Changhai to answer like this, and she didn't know how to answer him for a while.
"Master, the people on this fairy island were all rescued by you, and they are so ungrateful, why should you be kind to women? Punish one or two, and the people on this island will naturally be tamed, where is the use of letting everyone out, and who will be able to help the master take care of the island in the future? You see, the island is deserted. Shen Changhai pointed to the fields that had been reclaimed.
Shen Lan was suddenly a little embarrassed, after all, she still has some women's kindness, she only thinks about letting people go, she doesn't think about punishing some people, and she has an example of killing chickens and monkeys, maybe the people on this island are also tamed, where is the need for her to worry about no one to manage in the future? At this time, Shen Lan couldn't help but regret it a little.
"Since the master has already done it, then forget it, Ming'er, I will sell two honest dealers to manage this fairy island for the master, so as not to cause a lot of trouble." Shen Changhai couldn't bear to criticize his master, if the master wasn't kind-hearted, how could he buy their children back, if it wasn't for the master to buy them, I was afraid that waiting for his fate would be starving to death, and then his parents would eat with others.
Shen Lan suddenly felt a warm heart when she heard this, after coming to this world, she relied on herself for everything, although Yuan Hao and the people of the Shen family had also helped her, but the biggest secret in her heart did not dare to be exposed, so even if something happened in the space, she only dared to be alone in a hurry, and did not dare to show the slightest hint to people, for fear of causing disaster, and now there is someone who can share it, which is a good thing for her.
"Okay, just listen to you, after you find someone, we'll secretly send someone in." Shen Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, Shen Changhai can be regarded as having gained Shen Lan's complete trust, except for the original old Guo Tou, Shen Changhai can be regarded as the first person, but Shen Lan does not want Shen Changhai to stay in the space like the old Guo Tou, and he died not long after, so even if he cultivates talents in the future, he will not let him stay here forever.
Worried that someone would find something strange outside, Shen Lan and Shen Changhai didn't stay, and after a while, they came out of the space, and picked some fruits from the space, and Shen Lan picked some fruits produced in the space, and she hadn't eaten fresh fruits for several days, which was really unaccustomed to Shen Lan, anyway, Shen Changhai also knew all her secrets, so naturally there was nothing to hide, so she simply got a lot of fruits out.
The misunderstanding was solved, and Shen Lan and Shen Changhai did not have the previous atmosphere, but returned to the way they got along a long time ago, and Shen Changhai was automatically classified as the only person who Shen Lan trusted very much.
There are five rooms in this small courtyard rented by Yuan Hao, in addition to Shen Lan and Xu's living in one, and Yu and Guo each live in one, in fact, there are two rooms left, as for the other two should be used by Yuan Hao, now that Shen Changhai is here, there is no shortage of places to live, so he simply retreated from the guest room in the ground and moved directly to live here.
Just settled Shen Changhai, Yu Guang and Guo Rui also came back, Shen Lan gave them an introduction, Yu Guang and Guo Rui actually saw Shen Changhai, but they didn't have any friendship, this time they met and they could be regarded as having friendship, and Shen Changhai came this time, they could also completely rest assured to do the things Shen Lan explained, and they didn't have to ask Shen Lan every day when they came back.
