Chapter 837: Thief
Fu Ruolan also knew that what she was thinking might be a little unbelievable, but what she thought was not unreasonable.
She's never been the kind of person who thinks about pessimistic conspiracy theories, but she really has to think about it when she sees too much.
"Ruolan, I believe you." Wen Mingxu looked at Fu Ruolan's worried and tangled appearance, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart: "You also have to believe in what you think, don't be too entangled."
Listening to Wen Mingxu say that he trusted himself, Fu Ruolan's heart felt a trace of warmth: "Wen Mingxu, thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Wen Mingxu said with a smile.
"Thank you for believing me." Fu Ruolan thought that if she changed to someone else, she was afraid that she would think too much.
Wen Mingxu knew Fu Ruolan and understood why she thought it was a conspiracy. Before Fu Ruolan said, Wen Mingxu had already faintly sensed that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
"Since you have suspicions, then we will secretly investigate." Wen Mingxu said.
Fu Ruolan heard what Wen Mingxu meant, and he said to us, "You're not leaving?" ”
"Hmm." Wen Mingxu had already made a decision in his heart, he wanted to stay here and accompany Fu Ruolan.
Hearing Wen Mingxu say this, Fu Ruolan's heart was happy.
Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed and came to a restaurant for dinner, but they didn't know that Nan Yuchen in the dark was already unhappy because of Wen Mingxu's appearance.
Nan Yuchen felt that it was not appropriate for him to appear now, but seeing Fu Ruolan and the two of them talking and laughing, he was also very uncomfortable.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Wen Mingxu in the dark and protect his wife." Nan Yuchen left after explaining.
I thought I was out of sight and out of mind, but at this moment, Nan Yuchen's heart was in a mess.
Before Fu Ruolan sent someone to investigate Jing Ying'er's matter, he also secretly asked people to investigate. found that there was no clue, and I didn't know who took Jing Yinger away.
"Continue to investigate Jing Ying'er's whereabouts." Nan Yuchen commanded.
Nan Yuchen, who had been secretly protecting Fu Ruochen, had to reconsider whether he should also appear because of Wen Mingxu's appearance at this moment, so that he could always be by Fu Ruolan's side.
But his identity is too special, he is the seventh prince of the Heavenly Star Kingdom. If the people of Uzhi knew his identity, he would inevitably be in trouble.
Nan Yuchen's fists were clenched, thinking that when he really had to appear, it would be better for him to change his identity.
In the restaurant, Fu Ruolan and Wen Mingxu chatted and ate at the same time.
After a full meal, the two left together.
Fu Ruolan patted her head violently: "Look at my head, I patronized and chatted with you, and I forgot to ask you if you don't have a place to live yet?"
"I haven't found it yet." Wen Mingxu replied.
"Then I'll ask Feng Ming and them to arrange a place for you to live." Fu Ruolan couldn't say that Wen Mingxu should live in the same courtyard as herself, after all, there are differences between men and women.
Wen Mingxu didn't want to trouble Fu Ruolan, so he directly refused: "No need, I see that there is an inn nearby, I'll just stay at the inn."
"But now that it's dark, I'll send you back." Wen Mingxu was thoughtful.
Fu Ruolan still wanted to dissuade her, but thinking that Wen Mingxu should have her own ideas, she didn't stop it.
"Okay." Fu Ruolan nodded and agreed: "It just so happens that you also know where I live in Wuxi Country now, and it will be easy to find it in the future."
"Uh-huh." Wen Mingxu and Fu Ruolan walked side by side.
Looking at Fu Ruolan, who was more than half a head shorter than him beside him, Wen Mingxu felt a different kind of throbbing in his heart.
He wanted to hold Fu Ruolan, who was much thinner than himself, in his arms, and he wanted to shelter her from the wind and rain.
The two of them walked slowly, Wen Mingxu felt that the years were quiet, and at this moment he wanted time to stand still.
"Be careful." Fu Ruolan suddenly exclaimed, and her body rushed in the direction of Wen Mingxu.
Wen Mingxu didn't react, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the two of them had hugged each other.
"If ......" his throat was a little tight, his heart was beating faster, and he couldn't help himself.
Fu Ruolan gasped and stared at Wen Mingxu's back with resentment. At this time, Wen Mingxu realized that something was wrong with the situation around him, and he hurriedly stood up straight.
Looking behind him, it turned out to be a black-faced, dirty half-grown child with a knife in his hand, his teeth and claws fluttering like a little tiger.
Wen Mingxu instantly understood what was going on just now, it turned out that this kid actually wanted to stab himself with a knife.
"Who are you? Who sent you? Fu Ruolan's chest rose and fell, and she gasped and asked.
If Fu Ruolan hadn't found out in time just now, I'm afraid Wen Mingxu would have been injured.
But looking at the half-grown child in front of him, it really makes people wonder why he wants to do it.
The child didn't speak, and his eyes stared directly at the money bag on Wen Mingxu's body.
Wen Mingxu took off the money bag when he found out and asked, "Do you want money?"
The kid looked wary, but nodded in acknowledgment.
"Hungry." The child whispered.
Only then did Fu Ruolan realize that the child was too thin, and under the wide and dirty clothes was a thin figure.
"You shouldn't rob with a knife when you're hungry." Fu Ruolan was a little angry: "What if I really hurt someone?"
In the face of Fu Ruolan's reprimand, the child became a little restrained: "My younger brothers and sisters at home are dying of hunger......"
Hearing the kid say this, the anger in Fu Ruolan's heart disappeared for a while.
Wen Mingxu motioned to the child to put the knife down first: "You put the knife down first, if you have something to say." But if you want money to buy some food, I'll give it to you. ”
Hearing Wen Mingxu say this, the child's eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly put away the knife.
Wen Mingxu spoke and took out two pieces of broken silver, which were enough for ordinary people to eat and spend for a year.
"I can give you the money, but can you tell me why you rob it this way?"
The child's eyes were fixed on the silver, and when he saw that Wen Mingxu was speaking very gently, he replied, "My father and mother are dying of the plague, and my younger brothers and sisters are dying of hunger." I can't even get food now, I can't ......."
The child choked up as she spoke, and Fu Ruolan felt very uncomfortable when she heard it.
"Let's go back and buy something to eat." Fu Ruolan sighed.
This plague has harmed many families, and even if she can control the plague now, the families of those who have experienced the plague have also been hit hard, and they will not recover for a while.
The child hesitated to take the silver from Wen Mingxu's hand, ran quickly for two steps, and then stopped, bowing deeply to them before leaving.
