Chapter 41: Entering the Lin Mansion

After eating and drinking, Yang Liang didn't just go upstairs, although Xiao Er said that before leaving, Yuan Heng specially told them to let Yang Liang and Chen Lu stay at the inn, but according to Yang Liang's ghost spirit, it was not easy to deceive them.

But now Yang Liang plans to inquire with this little er, who seems to be well-informed and loves to listen to gossip, what is the heirloom outside the forester.

So he pretended to clear his throat and shouted "uncle" obediently at the smiling shopkeeper.

"Uncle, you said yesterday that the person who built this inn was a forester, right?"

"Yes, it was the forester who built our Fulai Inn."

Xiao Er was a little strange for Yang Liang to ask this question, but he still answered his question seriously.

"Who else is there in the forester's house now?"

"Now he is the little forester's external housekeeper, but the forester and Mrs. Lin have two sons and a daughter, and now the eldest son is in charge of the Lin family, and the younger son and daughter have already started another family."

"Oh, I see."

Yang Liang pretended to nod his head, looking suddenly realized, and then asked, "Little boy, what are you doing with these inquiries?" ”

Xiao Er still felt that Yang Liang was a little child, and it was a little strange to inquire about these things, so he looked at him suspiciously, looking like he wanted to say something.

Yang Liang touched his nose weakly, and suddenly had an idea, and thought of a saying: "Because my mother said that Mrs. Lin is my cousin, before going out this time, my mother specially asked me to visit her when I passed through Yuncheng." ”

Chen Lu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw Yang Liang's appearance of lying and not making drafts, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth and didn't say anything.

When the little second heard Yang Liang say this, he nodded clearly, thinking that it was no wonder that this child's family was so interested, it turned out that Mrs. Lin was his cousin.

"But if the little boy wants to visit Mrs. Lin, it will be a step too late."

The shopkeeper sighed, very regretful.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Mrs. Lin also passed away three months ago, the Lin family is now keeping filial piety for Mrs. Lin!"

Hearing Xiao Er say this, Yang Liang felt a burst of joy in his heart, thinking that it was just right that he had passed away, and he could pretend to be a cousin, so that he would have an excuse to go to the Lin family's mansion.

But he still made an ignorant and innocent look on his face, and while thanking Xiao Er, he secretly calculated in his heart.

Although Yuan Heng instructed Xiao Er and the front desk to let Yang Liang and Chen Lu not leave the inn, Yang Liang still deceived them on the grounds that he was going to deliver something to Yuan Heng, and then successfully ran out of the inn with Chen Lu.

Yang Liang's plan was to find someone else to ask where the Lin family's home was, and then inquire about where Mrs. Lin's hometown was, and then disguise herself as her distant cousin, so as to gain the trust of the current members of the Lin family, and finally successfully obtain the Lin family's heirloom.

However, although this plan sounds very feasible, the success of the plan depends entirely on whether or not it can gain the trust of the foresters, and if this step is completed, then the follow-up will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Yang Liang first took Chen Lu to the taverns that must be visited in every ancient city if you want to know the information, there are usually full-time storytellers there, maybe you can ask for some news from there.

The tavern in Yuncheng also looked dusty, Yang Liang pulled Chen Lu to find a corner and sat down, and there was really a person who looked like a scholar in the center of the room who was excited, talking loudly while gesturing with his hand.

Listen carefully, it turns out that what this storyteller is talking about is the origin of Zhao Wei Erguo, this storyteller seems to like Zhao Guo very much, and Zhao Guo is like a fairy palace in the sky, the onlookers all raised their heads to look at him, looking obsessed, even Chen Lu beside Yang Liang could listen to it, he had not been to Zhao Guo, so he naturally didn't know that Mr. was bragging.

At this time, a big man suddenly stood up and said that he had been to Zhao State, although it was said that the mountains and rivers were beautiful and the people were rich, but it was far from being as dazzling as Mr. Storyteller said.

When the storyteller saw that someone came out to expose him, he was a little flustered for a while, and was thinking about how to argue, but the onlookers didn't eat his set, and directly ridiculed him, and then dispersed.

So the storyteller had no choice but to do so, and sat alone at the table and drank alcohol.

Yang Liang saw that the opportunity had come, so he pulled Chen Lu to sit at the fortune teller's table.

The fortune teller of the Lin family heirloom saw Yang Liang and Chen Lu sitting next to him, and he was a little curious for a while, so he asked: "Little doll, this is not the place you should come, go home quickly." ”

When he said this, he was facing Chen Lu, probably because he looked bigger, so he recognized him as his brother.

Chen Lu didn't answer, but Yang Liang stretched out his hand and put a piece of silver on the table, which was still given to him by Zhao Yiren for emergency use before leaving, and now it just came in handy.

"Little doll, what are you ......" The old man put the silver on the table when he saw Yang Liang's "snap", and was surprised and delighted for a while.

"Uncle, let me ask you a few questions, you just need to answer me well, don't ask anything else, this silver is yours, okay?"

Yang Liang didn't beat around the bush, and threw out his own needs when he came up.

The storyteller saw that although Yang Liang was very young, he lacked the style of an adult, so he put away his thoughts and looked at them, straightened his expression, and said: "Little doll, it doesn't hurt for you to ask, I, Wu Laosan, have been in Yuncheng for so many years, it's not that I'm exaggerating, as long as you want to know, ask me to be sure!" ”

The gentleman named Wu Laosan patted his chest as he spoke, showing a very reliable look.

Yang Liang didn't believe his rhetoric, because Mr. Storyteller has always been the best at boasting, and they eat this bowl of rice, so they naturally have a good eloquence.

"I want to ask, where is the hometown of the lady outside the forester in Yuncheng?"

Yang Liang put forward what he wanted to ask straight to the point.

When Wu Laosan heard Yang Liang ask, he calmly stroked his beard, thought for a moment and replied: "As far as I know, Mrs. Lin's hometown should be in the small town of Linshui in the south, she and the forester are young acquaintances, and the husband and wife have been respectful of each other for decades, and they are well-known husband and wife models in Yuncheng.......

After all, Wu Laosan is still a storyteller, as if he has his own occupational disease, he can't stop talking, Yang Liang hurriedly interrupted him, and then said: "You don't have to tell me about the forester, let me ask you one more thing, do you know what the Lin family's heirloom is?" Where is it now? ”

Hearing Yang Liang, a little hairy boy, ask, Wu Laosan felt even more surprised, and didn't know what he was going to do to inquire about the news, but he still adhered to good professional ethics, and did not ask more, but continued to answer for him: "This Lin family's heirloom can be said to be an open secret in Yuncheng, just because, after the death of this forester, Lin Dagongzi, that is, the current little forester, once drank with someone, and as a result, he drank three rounds, and he shook out what the heirloom left to him outside the forester. His friend was a big mouth, so he came and went, and the whole city knew that the heirloom that the forester had left for his son was neither gold, silver and jade, nor some rare treasure, but a black brick with a square shape, and it was impossible to see what it was......"

Hearing this, Yang Liang suddenly became calm, the square black bricks, this thing sounds, how can it be so similar to describe a mobile phone!

Wu Laosan continued: "It is said that before the forester passed away, he took the hand of the little forester on the sickbed, and instructed him to take care of the family heirloom, and ah, let him hand it over to the destined person later, you say that it is also strange to talk about this forester, what treasure is not kept for his son, and let him wait for what destined person......"

Yang Liang didn't listen carefully to the next words, because his mind was full of what Wu Laosan said just now, black bricks and destined people, could it be that the forester had already known that there would be traversers coming to Yuncheng after him......

If that's the case, then he's too mysterious!

Yang Liang didn't stay in the tavern for long, he handed the silver to Wu Laosan, and then turned around and ran towards the outside of the tavern, while Chen Lu, who was confused all the time, subconsciously followed.

But before he could catch up with Yang Liang, he turned back and walked straight into the tavern in front of Wu Laosan, and asked, "Where is the forester's house?" ”

Wu Laosan was biting the broken piece of silver with his teeth, wanting to see if it was true, but Yang Liang's sudden appearance startled him and almost shattered his teeth.

Rubbing his cheeks, Wu Laosan stood up and walked out of the door of the tavern, stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, and then said, "Go east, just cross two streets."

Little doll, I can't see it, although you are young, but you are still so generous, thank you so much! ”

"No, thank you!"

Yang Liang didn't say anything more polite to him, and ran straight in the direction he pointed.

Panting and running two streets, I soon found the Lin Mansion, because it is really easy to recognize, the design style is antique and blends a modern fashion atmosphere, it looks a little nondescript, but there is a different kind of beauty.

Chen Lu also chased after him while panting, he didn't know what kind of medicine Yang Liang was selling in the gourd, how could he look at the small people, there were so many ghost ideas, one at a time, so many that he couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

Yang Liang rested for a while, adjusted his breathing, turned to Chen Lu and said, "Brother Chen Lu, you will follow me later, no matter what I say, don't make a sound, just do what I say." ”

"Uh...... However, it's not good for you to rush in like this!

Even if your mother and Mrs. Lin are cousins, but suddenly come to visit......"

Chen Lu took seriously what Yang Liang used to coax the shopkeeper before, and really thought that Yang Liang was here to visit relatives.

"Alas! How can I explain it to you......"

Yang Liang didn't expect Chen Lu to be so easy to deceive like the shopkeeper, and shook his head in distress.

In fact, the reason why Yang Liang was in such a hurry was mainly because from the moment he arrived at the tavern, the system suddenly hung a countdown timer for him, saying that if he did not complete the task within the hour limit of the system, it would still be regarded as a task failure.

Although he was angry and wanted to vomit blood, Yang Liang still had to follow the requirements of the system, and now there were only 40 minutes left before the system limit of one hour, Yang Liang was anxious like something, but it was not easy to explain to Chen Lu, so he had to stomp his feet and said: "In short, Brother Chen Lu, you just do what I say, I promise you that it will be fine!" ”

"That'...... Okay......" Chen Lu looked at Yang Liang anxiously, and he didn't want to ask anything more, so he had to reluctantly agree to his request.

Yang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, he took a deep breath, and then walked to the oppressive carved gate of the Lin Mansion, pulled the iron ring in front of the door, and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a few seconds, a small hole the size of a palm suddenly appeared in the door, and a voice came from inside, asking who they were and what they had come to do.

Yang Liang said unhurriedly: "Go and tell your lord, I am the destined person of the Lin family's heirloom, let him come to see me now." ”

It should be the guards of the Lin family who came to check, and I was a little surprised when I saw a little hairy child less than half a person tall knocking on the door, but I didn't expect the other party to say this, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but I had to let Yang Liang wait at the door, and he went to report it.

Chen Lu, who was standing next to Yang Liang, had completely stayed on the spot at this time, he didn't expect Yang Liang's courage to be so big, isn't this a blatant provocation at someone's door!

He pulled Yang Liang and tried to persuade him to leave quickly before anyone came out to beat him, but before he could speak, the door of the Lin Mansion creaked open.

It was the guard who opened the door who asked them just now, he looked at the two hairy children in front of him with a strange face, hesitated for a few seconds, and said: "The two little boys are invited, our master said to see you in the main hall." ”

Yang Liang clapped his hands excitedly, he knew that the system would not give him a time limit for no reason, in addition to trying to force him to death, the other situation was that the system automatically detected that the difficulty of completing the task was too low, so he would give him a time limit to complete, the main purpose was not to give Yang Liang those thousands of emotional values in vain.

Coupled with what Wu Laosan said in the tavern just now, it can be inferred that the current little forester must be very confused and distressed about his father entrusting a useless thing to him before he died, and he may even be dissatisfied with the old forester because of this matter, so he must not attach great importance to the so-called heirloom.

So Yang Liang thought, instead of saying those nonsense in a twist and turn, and finally knocking on the side of the question, it is better to make his purpose clear from the beginning, anyway, the old forester said before he died, let the little forester give the heirloom to the destined person, this thing is not given out for a day, and if it is left in his hands, it will increase the psychological burden of the day, so the little forester must be eager to find the so-called destined person and give this heirloom to him, and he can be regarded as fulfilling his father's last wish.

So as Yang Liang expected, he heard that someone claimed to be his father's destined person, although he was just a little hairy child, but the little forester was still very excited, and hurriedly asked Yang Liang and them to come in.

Chen Lu, who didn't understand the inside story, was watching Yang Liang's operation from the side, and was stunned by surprise, but he didn't expect Yang Liang to say such a seemingly nonsense, and the little forester really agreed to let them in, this magical reality made him feel a little like he was in a dream.

Following the guard who led the way into the Lin Mansion, passing through the very fine garden along the way, and then came to the main hall that the guard had said, and then a squire who was obviously more ornate and older in costume took them and asked them to go inward again.

After walking into the room, Yang Liang found that the design of the main hall is also unique, it looks like a modern living room, the middle of the hall is not the popular mahogany carved furniture, but the tone of the logs, and the soft cushions that look very comfortable are sewn on it, the whole chair looks like both ancient style and modern simplicity, it looks very harmonious and coordinated, in fact, the overall decoration style here is mainly beige and log color, which looks very light and pleasant. This is probably the charm of decoration, before the forester crossed over, it shouldn't be an interior decoration designer or something, otherwise he has too many whimsical ideas about decoration, if it is not a former practitioner, it is simply a genius!

After the attendant guided them to sit down on the chair, a young man who looked to be less than thirty years old walked in from outside, I don't know why, Yang Liang felt that there was an inexplicable intimate and familiar feeling on his body, I don't know if it was because his father was a traverser, so the body outside the little forester did not have the temperament that those rich children had nowadays, but looked very kind and elegant.

The guard at his door said that there were two little dolls who claimed that they were destined for their father, and they were here to get the family heirloom, although they were a little excited, but more strange, although his father had told him before he died, that person should be a young friend, but ......

Looking at the little doll sitting on the chair in front of him, the little forester sighed helplessly, which is this Xiaoyou, it's just ......

But strange is strange, since Lin Yuanwai died for so many years, there has really never been a person like Yang Liang who came directly to the door and said that he was destined, most of them were side-by-side to inquire about the news of the heirloom from the side, and at first glance they were charlatans, and it was the first one like Yang Liang to be so straightforward.

"Two little friends, who said just now that he is the person who is destined as his father said?"

"It's me." Yang Liang didn't hesitate, as soon as Xiao Lin's voice fell, he immediately answered.

So the little forester was even more curious, he thought it was the child who looked older, but he didn't expect it to be the younger one, who looked only six or seven years old, looking pampered, many children of this age, many of them couldn't even speak, like Yang Liang, who was clear and bold, he also saw it for the first time.

"Where did you find out that your father has a family heirloom and is looking for someone who is destined to do so?"

Before leaving, Wu Laosan specially told Yang Liang, don't say that the news flowed out from him, the Lin family has a very high reputation in Yuncheng, if everyone knows that he sold the information of the Lin family behind his back, I am afraid that he will not even be able to enter the door of this tavern in the future.

Unexpectedly, Yang Liang said: "Because I had a dream two nights ago, there was a strange grandfather in the dream, he told me that I was his destined person, and asked me to come to the Lin Mansion to pick up the things he left behind." ”

Chen Lu was shocked by Yang Liang's ability to open his mouth again, he had never heard Yang Liang say this, and Yang Liang was still asking Wu Laosan about the Lin family's heirloom in the morning, so this dream was 100% made up by Yang Liang on the spot.

Chen Lu, whose young heart was hit, silently lowered his head beside him, secretly praying that Yang Liang could tell the lie, otherwise it would be embarrassing to be thrown out by the family when the time came.

When the little forester heard Yang Liang say this, he was shocked and surprised for a while, at this time, everyone did not have a scientific understanding of dreams, so if you talk to others about dreams, nine out of ten will believe it, and one will believe it.

Obviously, the little forester was also fooled by Yang Liang's dream-telling words, he stood up with a solemn face and paced around the room, after about two or three minutes, he finally stopped and asked the attendant to go to his room and bring the heirloom left by the forester.

The attendant quickly took a beautifully carved box, and the laughing forester took the box in his hand and rubbed it a few times, and then as if he had decided something, he looked up at Yang Liang and said: "What Xiaoyou just said is really very mysterious, before my father died, he did inform me that I would give him this treasure to someone who was destined, but it was ......"

The little forester looked at Yang Liang without saying anything, and saw that he looked calm, so he sighed and continued: "My father said, if it is really fateful, then I must answer these three questions, so I have to use three questions to test Xiaoyou, if Xiaoyou all answer, then today, my father's baby will be handed over to Xiaoyou to take away, and I will not ask anymore from now on, but if Xiaoyou can't answer, then ......

Then don't blame me for sending Xiaoyou to the government and letting your father and mother pick you up. ”

"Uncle, just ask." Yang Liang still looked calm, but in fact, he was already scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, because there were only twenty minutes left before the countdown set for him by the system, and if he didn't hurry up, the time would be up.

"Since Xiaoyou is so confident, then I'll ask!"

The little forester took out a yellowed-looking note from the box, cleared his throat, and began to talk about the problems left by the forester.
