Chapter 197: Acting
Things were as Lin Ruan expected, the masked man looked around the house and didn't find any problems, and even opened the wardrobe to check.
In the end, nothing came of it.
Two masked men came to the kang, stretched out their hands, and slashed at Lin Ruan's neck.
Lin Ruan's body was weak, but he did not pass out, and adjusted his breathing to be shallower and weaker.
Then, the two masked men searched the kang again, not even letting go of the kang hole, and looked at it carefully.
One of the masked men whispered, "Nothing has been found." ”
Another said: "This woman goes in and out of Shenwu Mountain every day, and if King Xiao is injured and poisoned and his whereabouts are unknown, then she is the most suspicious." ”
The man who spoke earlier said: "According to the clues we have, she only went into the mountains to pick vegetables, hunt and chop wood. And went every day, and there was nothing abnormal in these two days. ”
Another person said: "She is not an ordinary woman, some time ago she went into the mountains alone to rescue more than a dozen people from the wolves. The time she went up the mountain yesterday was just the time for our people to do it. ”
"But there is no trace of King Xiao here."
"Let's keep an eye on her first, just in case. In addition, the entire Linjia Village must be secretly investigated, and there must be no omissions, and King Xiao must be found. ”
The two discussed, turned and walked out of the room, whistled, and joined the others.
Half an hour later, the figure flew up to the roof, and disappeared without a trace.
After making sure that those people were far away, Lin Ruan opened his eyes, rubbed his aching neck, and let out a long breath.
It was really too suspenseful just now, in case that person didn't want to knock her out, but wanted to kill her, she didn't even have a chance to resist.
Fortunately, after she had the ability, this body became stronger and stronger, and the knife just now just cut her very painfully.
Thinking that he was being watched, Lin Ruan couldn't help but have a headache.
Not to mention anything else, her hot pot restaurant alone will be affected.
I'm afraid that Shenwu Mountain is full of accomplices of those masked people, and her ability can't be used for the time being, now that the weather is so cold, it's a blessing that those dishes won't freeze to death, where can new dishes grow.
In addition to this, what gave her more headache was Xiao Jingchen, his injury was not too serious, but the poison did not look like it was solved at all, the little antidote pill she bought could last for two or three days at most, what should I do after that?
If those masked people couldn't find him, would they keep the Lin family village under surveillance? At that time, what if Xiao Jingchen dies here?
Although no one knows that others are here at the moment, she has been watched like this for a long time, and sooner or later someone will find out about the problem.
When the time comes, she will not be able to settle well, and even those brocade guards will have to settle accounts with her.
That's a big hassle!
Lin Ruan let out a long sigh and prayed to God to let Xiao Jingchen survive.
Not daring to make any big moves, Lin Ruan closed his eyes again.
Early the next morning, after Lin Ruan looked at Xiao Jingchen's situation, he made sure that there was nothing wrong with him, and as usual, he carried the basket up the mountain, rubbing his neck as he walked, looking in unbearable pain.
When he arrived at Shenwu Mountain, Lin Ruan didn't deliberately look around, and went straight to the vegetable field.
There was a frost last night, and the top of the dish was white, and all the shoots were frostbitten.
Lin Ruan sighed with a headache on his face, and said to himself, "What can I do about this?" These dishes have become like this, what else is sold in the store? It seems that we still have to build a few greenhouses, otherwise this business will be done, alas! ”
After carefully picking in the vegetable field for a long time, I barely picked some makeshift vegetables and carried them down the mountain.
Along the way, Lin Ruan's brows were tightly locked, and he looked at the vegetable from time to time.
As he walked, Lin Ruan suddenly stopped, suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms, and turned to look behind him.
There was nothing behind him, but Lin Ruan looked around with vigilance: "What is it?" ”
There are no anomalies.
After Lin Ruan saw it once, he patted his chest and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I really scared myself, how many times have I been to this Shen Wushan, what else can I have." It's really getting more and more timid. ”
After speaking, she put away the dagger and carried the basket and continued to walk forward, her expression natural and relaxed.
And behind the tree not far behind her, the figure of a black-clothed masked man quickly flashed.
After going down the mountain for breakfast, Lin Tiezhu came over, and when he saw the vegetables in the basket, he said in surprise: "Master, why is this the only point?" ”
Lin Ruan sighed: "These dishes themselves are not in this season, now the weather is getting colder and colder, the vegetables themselves are growing slowly, and there is frost in the mountains, I am afraid that they will not last for a few days." Let's go, I'll go to the county with me, I have to think of a way to see if I can survive this time first. ”
Business has recovered a bit in the past few days, and it is expected that in a few days, business will be the same as before.
But now there is no food, but I am afraid that it will be affected again.
When he arrived in the county, Lin Ruan told Lin Fu that the food in the store might have to be cut off for a while. "Although hot pot does not mainly rely on those green vegetables, without those dishes, business will still be affected to some extent. Uncle Fu, I want to go to Qingzhou City tomorrow to see if there are any ingredients that Yulin County does not have. You come with me, they should be able to take care of Lin Er in the store. ”
Lin Fu naturally had no objection to Lin Ruan's orders, and immediately nodded in agreement.
After Lin Ruan explained the things in the store, he went to the Drunken Immortal Building.
The money shopkeeper was settling accounts in the store, and when he saw Lin Ruan coming, he immediately greeted with a smile: "Lin Xiaodong, please sit inside." Man, serve a pot of tea. ”
Lin Ruan smiled: "The money shopkeeper is also separated from me?" ”
The money shopkeeper laughed: "Then where can it?" Miss Lin, why are you free to come over today? ”
Lin Ruan said with a smile: "I came here to discuss something with you, it has been cold recently, and the fruits in the mountains are becoming more and more gone, I want to tell you that the fruits may be cut off for a while." ”
These words were like a thunderbolt on the head of the money shopkeeper, making him unable to come back to his senses for a long time. "Miss Lin, weren't you okay a few days ago? Why is the supply suddenly about to be cut off? Isn't it...... Isn't it ...... over there?"
He was very suspicious that Yun Keju had found Lin Ruan, maybe he had bought out the fruit at a large price, or maybe he had threatened Lin Ruan not to allow her to supply fruit to Zuixianlou again.
Lin Ruan hurriedly explained: "Money shopkeeper, it's really just that the weather is getting colder and the fruits in the mountains are hard to find." I'll do my best to find it, but I can't promise you if I can find it. Not only the fruit, but also my food is about to run out. ”
The money shopkeeper was furious in his heart, and a large part of the reason why his business in this store was so good was because of those fruits. If the supply is cut off, I am afraid that the business will decline a lot.
But Lin Ruan had already said it so clearly, and he didn't want to say anything more, for fear that Lin Ruan would be unhappy in his heart, so he made up his mind and hurriedly reported to the Fucheng side.
