Knock knock knock......

A burst of drumming came from the high platform of the drum tower.

The people on the street stopped when they heard the sound and rushed in their direction, rubbing their shoulders and backs for a while, and the voices of people were boiling.

Su Luan and Zhu Xiaoniang were squeezed in the middle of the crowd, hugging each other in front and back, and they couldn't stop if they wanted to, so they had to be forced to move forward.

Su Luan looked at this scene and was a little confused for a while, frowned and asked, "What is this, why is it so ......?"

Seeing that she was confused and her eyes were confused, Zhu Xiaoniang chuckled, raised her hand and pointed to the high platform of the drum tower: "Sister Luan, look there!" This drum sound is to tell everyone that Zhong Kui is going to sprinkle dumplings! As soon as the drum stopped, the ceremony of grabbing dumplings stopped, and the people naturally dispersed. ”

Su Luan looked in the direction of her finger, and saw Zhong Kui standing on the city tower with the evil ghosts who had just paraded the streets, each of them holding a bag of hemp dumplings, and they were throwing it into the crowd at once.

To put it bluntly, this dumpling cake is a spring roll-like snack wrapped in oiled paper, which is said to ward off evil spirits and avoid misfortune, and bless the next year. So everyone is willing to join in the fun and grab a grab, just to ask for a lottery and add some blessings.

Just when she was looking at the excitement, a few small hairy heads holding paper figures suddenly popped out behind her, like a few little bulls, rampage into the crowd.

Coincidentally, it hit the arm held by her and the little lady of the Zhu family, and they were scattered.

At this moment, the drumming in his ears suddenly stopped, and the people who grabbed the dumplings instantly scattered in all directions.

The flow of people passing by her, Su Luan hurriedly took off her mask and looked around, only to see that there was a crowd of people around, and many people's faces were covered with fanged ghost faces, but Zhu Xiaoniang was nowhere to be found.

She frowned and sighed. Thinking that the two of them were heading for the moat, they simply went all the way to that side.

Torches are lit on the drum tower, and the street facing the moat is brightly lit. There are a lot of weeping willows planted on both sides of the street, it is the time when it grows Bi Bi Tingting, the night breeze blows, the low-hanging branches, caressing the water surface of the river embankment, and the starting point is microwave.

In the middle of the river, there are several canopy boats swinging leisurely, and most of the women of the big families in the town are on the boat, and they have made the colorful lotus river lanterns to pray for blessings, which is very luxurious.

And on the bluestone embankment on the riverside, there are also many little ladies from ordinary families who are also putting river lanterns. They were not as reserved as the big families, they were all head to head, chattering together, and the cheerful laughter was like silver bells, and there were bursts of crisp sounds.

Ordinary people's river lanterns don't have so many tricks, just the appearance of a small paper boat made of red paper. A small candle was lit in the middle of the boat. Then he carefully pushed it towards the surface of the river, and he could see the fire glittering faintly, drifting along the swaying river all the way to the east. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a galaxy, shining with streamers, and it is very good-looking.

Because he was looking for people all the way and had no intention of enjoying the scenery, Su Luan only glanced at it a few times and then walked forward, his eyes always falling on the people coming and going.

So, even if she was separated by a crowd of threes and twos, she still saw Ren Ci at a glance.

The man was still the same as before, with a warm face and a compassionate skin. He seemed to be about to see someone, and he walked hurriedly, always keeping an eye on his back, and from time to time he looked around and twice.

Su Luan hid in the crowd and followed him not far away. Moments later, he stopped, turned and walked towards a small ferry at the end of the street. There was a red-roofed canopy moored there, and in it sat a man, only half of his face exposed.

Su Luan squinted his eyes and looked over, because of some distance, the person's facial features were not very real, but he could vaguely see a scar on the left side of his face, which was slightly hideous.

Ren Ci leaned over and nodded to the man and said something, and then quickly got into the boat.

Since he saw through his deliberate calculations, Su Luan has always been a little wary of him. Looking at his cautious appearance now, it is clear that there is a ghost!

And this ghost, eight or nine is inseparable from ten, and it has something to do with her.

Su Luan walked to the ferry, bought two river lanterns from the nearby river lantern stall, pretended to release the river lanterns, and stepped on the stone steps to go down to the river embankment on the side.

Inside the canopy boat.

Ren Ci squinted at the person in front of him, and said faintly with some anger: "Didn't I tell you not to come to me if you have nothing to do?!" ”

The man chuckled, obviously disdainful of his questioning: "Brother Ren thinks I want to?!" If it weren't for the fact that the whereabouts of the White Jade Tiger Fu are still unknown, and the Tang family's frequent attacks on the master, would I have to risk death to see you?! ”

Ren Ci was silent for a long time, and said, "But the master has a new plan?" ”

"Exactly." The man lowered his voice.

"The master has an order, let my brother do whatever it takes, trap the Tang family in Xiaojiang Village, if you can, it's best to take this opportunity to chop, grass, remove, and root." He squinted his eyes and emphasized, word by word.

Ren Ci's eyes sank slightly: "According to that person's temperament, he can't be easily fooled!" wants to trap him in Xiaojiang Village, which is comparable to ascending to the sky! ”

"It's nature! But if you have good bait, are you afraid that the big fish won't take the bait?! He looked at him with a sneer.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, but I heard that the one recently married a beautiful wife, and he loves him very much...... I also heard that the little lady still has a close relationship with the Lord Protector! ”

Ren Ci's face was pale, and there was a chill in his eyes: "Are you trying to ......?"

"Brother Ren, don't be in a hurry to speak, I know what you ...... to that little lady," he laughed mockingly, and continued, "But this method kills two birds with one stone, and you won't lose money...... Which is more important here, Brother Ren has to weigh it carefully! ”

The Tang family......

Protector ......

Wife......

This is to use her as bait to force Zhao Siye to show up and lure Tang Mingqi to take the bait?! What a calculation to kill two birds with one stone!

It's a pity, my aunt and grandmother are not the fish on your sticky board, let you use the knife!

She got up slowly, stepped back lightly to the shore, and just as she was about to get out of the danger zone, there was a thud, and a piece of gravel suddenly rolled from the embankment into the river.

"Who's there?!" The people in the boat shouted.

Finished!

Su Luan's heart trembled, his back was cold, he climbed ashore as if flying, buttoned the mask in his hand to his face, and quickly blended into the crowd.

However, after all, there was still a trace of back in the eyes of any mercy. He rolled ashore like a wolf locked onto his prey, and with a murderous aura around him, he chased her all the way in the direction of her escape.

Just when he was just a street away, he was blocked by a soft sedan chair......

When the soft sedan chair was carried away leisurely, Ren Ci looked at the woman in a long blue dress not far away, rushed over, and grabbed her shoulders.

Su Luan exclaimed in pain, and then looked at him in surprise: "Doctor Ren? ”

"Is that you?"

As he spoke, his arm was suddenly blocked.

Ren Ci found out that there was still a person standing next to her, dressed in a lake-colored robe, holding a mask with a white face and black eyes in his hand, he raised his eyes and was stunned: "Young Master Yin? ”

"Doctor Ren." Yin Liang smiled warmly at him.

Ren Ci looked at the two of them and said tentatively: "These are ...... two."

Yin Liang smiled: "Doctor Ren misunderstood, the two of us are just old acquaintances, and we just happened to meet today." ”

Su Luan sneered in his heart, bullshit misunderstanding! Ren Ci obviously knew her relationship with Tang Mingqi, and she still spoke like this, but it was just on purpose!

Ren Ci smiled, his eyes turned to the Kunlun Nu ghost in Su Luan's hand, and said lightly: "I really can't imagine that Miss Luan likes this kind of mask......"

Su Luan's forehead jumped, his eyes looked at the mask in his hand, frowned, blocked the mask on his face, with a little girl's coquettishness, and asked him, "Is it ugly?" ”

Ren Ci was stunned, obviously not expecting her to make such a move, and shook her head and said, "It's okay." ”

"Alas......" she sighed, looked at him with clear eyes, and said meaningfully, "Even the doctor will coax people, it's really unancient!" ”

Ren Ci hooked her lips and smiled, her eyes fell on her dress, the person who had just escaped was not much different from her size, although the dress was not real, but it seemed to be the same color. It's just that the mask on that person's face seems to be......

He looked at her fixedly, with a terrifying cold glint in his eyes: "Miss Luan just went to the moat?" ”

Su Luan pinched the mask tightly with his fingers, shook his head and said: "I haven't had time to go, I came with the sister of the Zhu family, and I just met the dumpling snatcher, and I was washed away, and I don't know if I can't wait to find her, and I won't have time to go to the river to put the river lantern......"

Seeing that her face was the same as usual, Ren Ci's heart was relieved, and even most of her doubts were dispelled. He didn't believe that if it was her, she would still be able to stand in front of him calmly and say these words.

But...... If it was really her, then this woman's mind was extremely deep!

"I wonder if you just saw a girl with a mask running over? The color of the dress is almost the same as the one on Miss Luan...... "The suspicion in Ren Ci's eyes was clearly extinguished, and his eyes fell on the face of the woman in front of him.

As if being licked violently by a snake letter, a layer of cold sweat suddenly rose on Su Luan's back. She comforted herself in her heart, don't be afraid, he is because he can't be sure, so he keeps tempting, if he is afraid, then he will lose! Su Luan, show your acting skills!

She suppressed the thought that she wanted to take a deep breath, looked him in the eye calmly, and teased slightly: "Girl? Could it be Dr. Ren's sweetheart? ”

Ren Ci raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly: "No, it's just an old man......"

"That's right...... There are too many people coming and going, and the concubine really hasn't noticed......" she nodded, with a bit of love in her tone.

Ren Ci nodded, and looked at Yin Liang again, Yin Liang also shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention to helping Mrs. Luan find Miss Zhu's family." ”

"That being the case, Ren took his leave first." With that, Ren Ci quickly disappeared into the crowd.
