Chapter 335: A Woman Looking for a Teenager
Li Mumu knew that the young man didn't tell the truth, but she couldn't force it!
The boy could only continue to rest in the carriage.
Because many guards saw Xiao Yan last night, after the city gate was opened in the morning, they changed Xiao Ying to inquire about the news.
Sure enough, as the young man said, Xiao Yan had just rescued the people last night, and today the king ordered the children to be returned to the fishermen's homes in batches, and the whole country was looking for good doctors to treat the king's illness.
"I don't know what kind of disease the king has, but I hope it's not a terminal illness!"
Li Mumu and they want to get the whereabouts of the water lingzhi, and now entering the palace is the fastest way.
They all knew that it might be easier to pass the boy's words, but since the boy didn't want to talk to them more, they couldn't force the others.
"The king is coughing up blood." Li Mumu was discussing countermeasures with Xiao Yan and Xiao Ying, and the young man got down from the carriage to answer Li Mumu's previous question.
"Three days later, after the king has returned all the children to the fishermen, the mermaids will go to the imperial city to offer water lingzhi! If you want the water lingzhi, find a way to enter the palace with them, if you can gain the trust of the merman clan, it is the best, if not, you can follow them into the palace to see the king, and you can also keep you out safely. ”
The young man just heard Li Mumu mention that he wanted to enter the palace to see the king, he obviously knew a lot about this aspect, if the king was really terminally ill, and Li Mumu could not treat him, he would definitely be secretly executed by the king.
"Are the scales I gave you still there?" The young man asked Li Mumu.
Li Mumu took out the purse in his arms and poured out the scales that the young man gave him, "Here it is." ”
Seeing that Li Mumu had taken good care of his scales, the young man seemed very satisfied.
"Three days later, if you find a way to enter the royal city, give this scale to the messenger of the merman clan, and say that you will go into the palace with him to heal the king, and he will definitely not refuse you."
"Since this scale is so easy to use, why can't I just exchange it with him for a water lingzhi?" Li Mumu felt that this scale must be a status symbol, so why did she go to seek medicine from an unknown king?
"The water lingzhi is a sacred relic of the merman clan, and although the yield is not low, it is not something that anyone can get casually, even if you hold this scale, you still can't get it. Even if I go, the messenger will not give it. ”
Li Mumu felt that this young man was strange, with scales that would appear when he encountered water, and he had been guarding the secrets of the merman clan, making Li Mumu think that this young man was undoubtedly a member of the merman clan.
But now that he has the opportunity to see the clansmen, the boy is hiding here and refuses to go, but lets himself go to them, is the boy expelled from the merman clan?
"You're from the mermaids, aren't you?" Li Mumu opened the skylight and said brightly, "If you want to meet the people of the merman clan, we also have a way for you to do so." ”
Under the circumstances like last night, Xiao Yan had a way to bring the teenager out, so why was it difficult to bring the teenager in again now.
"No, I'm not going!" The boy shook his head desperately and refused.
Seeing the young man like this, Li Mumu had to change the topic and talk to him, "I found out that you have always been alone, what about your family?" ”
"My father is dead, and my mother doesn't want me anymore."
“......”
Li Mumu felt that this was really a boy with a story, as if he was quite sensitive to any problem.
There was no way to continue the conversation, so Li Mumu had to go for a walk in the forest with no worries.
Xiao Yan and the others packed their bags and prepared to move to the inn outside the royal city to live.
"Mother~Mother~" Li Mumu walked around the forest aimlessly with Wuwu in her arms, or Wuwu gently patted Li Mumu's face with her little hand before she came back to her senses.
"I'm sorry, don't worry, my mother is distracted! What do you want to show your mother? "Carefree leaned forward, as if reaching for something.
"Mother~ go... Let's go..."Sanssouci kept pointing into the forest on the left, and the white shadow he had just seen seemed to be there.
"Is it this way?" Li Mumu walked inside in the direction he pointed, and saw that Li Mumu was walking in the right direction and put down his arm.
As soon as she walked not far away, Li Mumu suddenly stopped, because she saw the back of a woman in a long white dress not far away.
Her jet-black hair fell down like a waterfall, if a man saw it, he would definitely think that this was a reverie back, but Li Mumu, who had seen too many ghost stories, felt a little creepy.
Hell in broad daylight, right? If she was okay herself, but she was worry-free now, and she didn't know if he would be able to come in time to call Xiao Yan now.
"Mother..." Li Mumu stopped moving forward, looked at her mother and relatives without worry, and just wanted to call her, she was covered by Li Mumu.
Li Mumu held Wuwu with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, and quietly stepped back step by step, she wanted to leave quietly without alarming the other party.
"Click!" Li Mumu glanced at the broken branches under his feet, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, how could this kind of bridge in the book let himself run into it.
Li Mumu looked up at the woman, and sure enough, the other party heard the movement behind him and slowly turned around.
Just when he was about to see the woman's face clearly, Li Mumu looked closely and covered the hand covering his mouth to the eyes of Carefree, I hope it is not a female ghost, otherwise Li Mumu is afraid that he will be scared.
The woman turned around completely, and Li Mumu found that the other party looked normal, and his facial features were not very good-looking, but they were also beautiful.
And Li Mumu felt that the woman was a little weird.
"It's not a ghost!" After looking the woman up and down, Li Mumu secretly came to a conclusion in her heart, it was really bullshitty to hit ghosts or something during the day.
"Little girl!" Just when Li Mumu was self-conscious and self-deprecating, the woman spoke to her first.
"Little girl? Call me? Li Mumu pointed at himself with his finger, "You don't look a few years older than me." ”
The woman looked like she was only in her twenties.
The woman smiled at Li Mumu, and then walked over to her, Li Mumu took two steps back with no worries and vigilance.
The other party saw that Li Mumu was very precautionary, so he stopped, "I'm already forty years old, there's nothing wrong with calling you a little girl!" Little girl, let me ask you about something, have you ever seen a teenager? ”
When Li Mumu heard her ask, her first reaction was that she was looking for the teenager they saved.
But Li Mumu didn't know who the other party was, and it was impossible to easily explain the young man.
"What teenager?"
"A teenager who is about this tall......"
The woman described the characteristics of the teenager to Li Mumu while gesturing, and Li Mumu knew that this woman was looking for that person as soon as she heard it.
"I seem to have seen him, who are you?" Li Mumu asked about the identity of the woman opposite.
She looked too young, and she didn't believe what she said about the forty-year-old Li Mumu.
