Chapter 289: Separately
The road back to the capital is very long, but Ling Mubai, who is obsessed with the two of them being alone, can't wait for this journey to never end, after all, he knows that after returning to the capital, the little girl has a lot of burdens, and it is impossible to enjoy the time with him as wholeheartedly as now.
It's a pity that no matter how long the journey is, there will be an end, although it will be half a month later.
Ling Mubai didn't stay long in the braised meat shop, and after making sure that nothing happened here, he hurried back to the palace, and his family was also worried about him.
After Ling Mubai left, Jiang Xiaotuan confirmed with Li and Ruan Ling again, "In the month I left, has nothing really happened?" ”
Li Shi's eyes crumbled a smile, and said gently: "It's really okay, you can rest assured, is it possible that you are still looking forward to something at home?" ”
Jiang Xiaotuan didn't believe the Li family, but she felt that the Li family was afraid that she was worried and might not necessarily tell the truth, so she secretly asked Ruan Ling again, and it wasn't until Ruan Ling said the same thing that she was completely relieved.
Nothing could be better, but during this time, is the Yin family so honest?
It was a bit of a surprise.
Ruan Ling then told her another news, and after hearing it, Jiang Xiaotuan felt that it was no wonder that the Yin family did not move, "It turns out that Master Yin is not in good health." ”
"Xu is a widow in his later years, and Liu Hanlin will marry another before the new funeral, which makes him sad."
"Liu Hanlin married another? It's fast enough. "Yin Mei'er has been dead for less than two months, and it is indeed sad for him to do this, but think about it, this is the normal situation of most people, people like Liu Hanlin, is it possible for him to mourn for three years?
"It seems that a lot of things have happened during my absence from the capital."
Ruan Ling smiled, anyway, it has nothing to do with his own family, his own family has nothing to do, and his business is also very good.
Knowing that Jiang Xiaotuan was back, the little old man was anxious, and he came in the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Xiaotuan was putting a newly made poison into the Qianji Ring at that time, and the effect of the anesthetic needle was not strong enough for people who practiced martial arts, in case she really ran into a master, I was afraid that it would not be able to play a role in self-defense, so she turned on the mechanism and decided to put some ruthless poison.
The little old man has always been unconscious, he is too lazy to do this kind of behavior of knocking on the door, and when he pushed the door open, Jiang Xiaotuan was going to restore the ring mechanism.
"Wait, what are you?" The little old man stared at the ring in Jiang Xiaotuan's hand and exclaimed.
Now that he was seen, Jiang Xiaotuan didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Master, what do you think this is?"
It is said that it is a thousand machine ring, but Jiang Xiaotuan has not developed a few mechanisms at present, and she still has doubts about its authenticity, after all, the treasure appreciation system cannot distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
"This ...... Where did you get that? ”
Jiang Xiaotuan said honestly, "I bought it when I was shopping with Ruan Ling, Ruan Ling said that the person who sold my ring is a thief, Lu Baihei, Master, is there any difference in this ring?" You're so ......."
The little old man took a deep breath, and his face was completely shocked, "Lu Bai Hei...... I'll take a look at the ring. ”
Jiang Xiaotuan generously handed it over and reminded: "Master, be careful, there is a mechanism on this ring, and I just applied poison." ”
"Poison...... Am I afraid?" The little old man said arrogantly.
Jiang Xiaotuan shrugged, "You're not afraid, but it's not a waste." ”
"That's picky." The little old man glared at her, took the ring and looked at it carefully, but he didn't move.
The ring was held in his hand and looked at it for a while, Jiang Xiaotuan saw him frowning sometimes and stretching his brows, and he didn't know if he saw anything, he got along more, Jiang Xiaotuan also liked to say directly, "Master, do you see anything?" ”
The little old man shook his head and nodded, and said with great doubts: "It shouldn't be, then Lu Baihei has such a treasure in his hand that everyone is eager for, how can he sell it to you, there is nothing wrong with his head, right?" ”
"Are you sure it's not poisoned? No, you haven't learned how to poison yet? Although he is lustful, you little girl is not his cup of tea...... It's weird. ”
Jiang Xiaotuan cleared his throat and wanted to say a word about disrespecting the elderly, but looking at his childlike height and face, he couldn't help it.
"Master, you said this ring is a treasure?"
"Or else? Don't tell me you don't know that this ring is called a Thousand Machine Ring, you girl is so smart, it's impossible not to detect it at all. ”
Jiang Xiaotuan wanted to pretend to be stupid and talk about his tone, but every time he thought of being recognized by him, "I've heard about it, but what kind of treasure is the Thousand Machine Ring, will he sell it to me cheaply?" I'm not convinced. ”
"I don't believe it either, but if I'm not mistaken, this is the real Thousand Machines Ring, the holy relic of the Xuanhuo Clan, right now in your hands, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." The little old man sighed.
One said that it was a lie, but the little old man was his master, and he had handed over all the skills of his body to himself, he had no reason to lie to himself, Jiang Xiaotuan had to believe that this was really a thousand machines at this moment.
"Master, do you know about the Xuanhuo Clan? Since it is a holy relic, it should be a very important thing, how could it fall into the hands of Lu Baihei? ”
The little old man shook his head, "The Xuanhuo Clan is very mysterious, I really don't know, but this Lu Baihei, I've heard of it somewhat, but it has nothing to do with this ring, you take this ring first, maybe it's related to you, but I hope it's not a bad fate." ”
"I heard that for decades, the Xuanhuo Clan has been searching for the lost holy relics." The little old man muttered.
Jiang Xiaotuan stared at the ring in her hand, it was originally used as a self-defense weapon, but if it could bring disaster to herself, it was better not to, thinking of this, she planned to put it away, and she would not use it until she had to.
After all, with Ruan Ling by her side, her personal safety is still very guaranteed.
After the little old man handed the ring back to Jiang Xiaotuan, he said something important.
This time it was Jiang Xiaotuan's turn to be surprised, "You want to go?" ”
"Accident?"
Jiang Xiaotuan didn't know what to say, unexpected but not surprised, his temperament is not like a person who can stay in one place for a long time, not to mention that the things to be done in the capital this time have been done, if he hadn't accepted himself as an apprentice, I'm afraid he would have left a long time ago.
"Where are you going?"
"The world is big, the four seas are home, there are so many delicious foods, I can't be trapped in the capital, and go to find out the traces of the traitor, don't let me be caught, let me be caught, I will never let you and him go."
"And when are you leaving?"
"Well, I've seen you now, and I'll leave when I'm full of food and drink."
"So fast?"
The little old man waved his hand, "I hate Rory the most, I don't have so much trouble alone, it's not like lifting my legs and leaving." ”
"I'd like to make you something delicious to eat on the way."
"There's no need for that, if you really have the heart, prepare a table for me now, so that the teacher can eat and drink enough before leaving, and it is better to go faster." The little old man quipped.
"Okay, then I'll do it now, what do you want to eat?"
"Of course you're good at cooking, go quickly, don't delay my departure." The little old man waved his hand, and then turned his face away, he hated the sadness of parting the most, and he was used to being alone all these years.
He was afraid that Jiang Xiaotuan and a girl doll would be in tears, but fortunately, the little girl didn't shed tears.
Jiang Xiaotuan counted the time, and made a large table of dishes in the shortest time, chicken, duck and fish, which were usually the little old man's favorite practices, and he was allowed to make good wine.
Although Jiang Xiaotuan didn't drink well, he still wanted to drink with the little old man, but the little old man was very disgusted, "What kind of wine does the girl love to drink, it's ugly when you're drunk, don't drink in the future, you won't be taken advantage of." ”
"That kid is good to you, you have to cherish it."
The little old man poured himself a drink and said a lot of emotional words, although the days of acquaintance were short, but this master-apprentice relationship was extremely deep, if he didn't have his heart knot not opened, Jiang Xiaotuan was really reluctant to let him go.
In the evening, the little old man left, carrying a burden, and in it were the clothes that Li had sewn for him, and there were silver tickets stuffed by Jiang Xiaotuan.
The little old man didn't break it, and he didn't say anything, but when he walked away, his eyes were red.
He is not short of money, let alone clothes, but what their mother and daughter give is not only this, but also heart.
He decided to take it well and live up to their sincerity.
Perhaps, after he has a heart, he will stop, in the capital, or in the mountains, but if he does not take revenge, he will definitely not stop.
Sending away the little old man, Li felt quite uncomfortable, although he knew that he was an old man, but in her eyes, he was a little baby.
"Alas, I don't know where he's going alone, and I didn't say when he will come back, it's good to eat on the way......"
"Mother, don't worry, before he met us, he didn't live well." What do you say, in fact, Jiang Xiaotuan's worries are no less than Li's.
"That's right, he has the ability, and with so much silver you gave, he shouldn't lose himself." Li smiled and said, "This time I went back, nothing happened, right?" ”
She wanted to ask just now, but she never got free.
"Nothing." Jiang Xiaotuan was afraid that she would be worried, so he said something innocuous and about buying the yard to the Sun family.
"Sell it, sell it. Anyway, we won't go back, and even if we do, my mother won't want to go back to that village. Li said, "The Sun family treats us well, cheaper is cheaper, now that we have a good life, we don't miss him this money." ”
"Mother, you are so atmospheric."
"This kid is making fun of me again." Li Shi glanced at her with disgust, "Your grandmother is not a demon?" I'm not convinced. ”
"Alas, of course it's making a fuss, but what's the use of her making a fuss, I don't have anything to do with the Jiang family now." Jiang Xiaotuan said with a smile.
