Section 189 Chapter 182 Dumb Girl

Xiao Ruo took a deep look at the back of Li Yanxu leaving, and then pulled Yi Chu, fled into the crowd, and disappeared.

When the city guard looked up cautiously, in addition to the people who continued to talk next to him, Li Yanxu, Xiao Er, and Yi Chu had already disappeared.

"Look at what! Let's see you in jail again! The official got up from the ground abruptly and shouted at the crowd watching beside him.

The crowd immediately dispersed into a flock of birds, and continued to line up to leave without caring about themselves.

"Where are we going?" Along the way, Yi Chu has been held by Xiao Ruo's hand, desperately shuttling through the crowd, running forward. He didn't want to interrupt the atmosphere at all, but looking at Xiao Ruo's serious expression, he couldn't help but be worried in his heart.

"I remember Mr. Jiang said that the old house in Miaoyi Hutong where you stayed was bought by Mr. Jiang at the beginning, and he didn't get rid of it until he left, and I want to say that the next time I come to Kyoto, I will have a place to live." Xiao Ruo said as he walked while looking at Yi Chu.

"Yes, that's exactly what you say." Yi Chu nodded and said.

"Alright, let's go there! It's also good to find an identity for us. "Xiao Ruo has been thinking about this question of identity since he left the valley with Yichu.

If you say that Lan Shikang was interested in her because of her sudden appearance. That sister of a medical doctor, such an ordinary identity, there should be nothing worthy of his attention, right?

Besides, just at the gate of the city, Yichu said that she was a mute girl. As long as she behaves timidly and fearful, hides in the house all day and waits for the opportunity, and asks Yichu to inquire outside, this should make the two of them much safer.

When they arrived at Miaoyi Hutong, Yi Chu took Xiao Ruo to stand in front of the familiar wooden door,

Xiao Ruo let go of Yi Chu's hand and stepped forward to push open the wooden door.

Yi Chu's right hand touched his left hand, and the left hand, which still had a small body temperature, was stunned in place.

"Yichu, come in!" In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ruo had already entered the courtyard.

"Yes." Yi Chu stabilized his emotions and walked in.

I haven't returned for five years, and the corner of the house has long been a world of spiders. The unpleasant smell of dust made Xiao Ruo cough. After getting used to it a little, Xiao Ruo cheered herself up and said, "Okay, it's finally a place to stay!" It's a little dirty, let's clean it up together, shall we?! ”

Yi Chu nodded, Xiao Ruo's words made him suddenly feel happy. Like, this is the home of the two of them.

Xiao Ruo found a broom from the yard and prepared to clean up the cobwebs in the corner. Yi Chu carried the bucket and volunteered to clean the dry water tank and fill it. Just when the two of them were in full swing and dirty, someone suddenly knocked on the wooden door.

Xiao Ruo and Yi Chu glanced at each other, and there was a little uneasiness in their eyes.

The house had been vacant for more than five years, and they had only just arrived on their front feet before anyone came there. Could it be that the gang of bandit-like officers and soldiers at the city gate just now still didn't give up and chased after the door all the way?

Xiao Ruo exchanged a look with Yi Chu, and at the same time turned the rag in his hand into a broom, and slowly moved towards the door. If things are really what they think, this time, Li Yanxu will not suddenly appear to rescue them! In that case, they can only fight hard.

"Dr. Jiang?" This time, there was not only a knock on the door, but also a weak question.

It should be a woman of some age who spoke up, and now it was Xiao Ruo and Yi Chu's turn to be puzzled. Who will it be?

Since you can't figure it out, it's better to go out and have a look. When Xiao Ruo walked into the yard, what he saw was indeed an old woman in her fifties. Xiao Ruo also deliberately glanced behind the old woman, but did not see other suspicious figures.

"Auntie, is there anything wrong with you?" Xiao Ruo put down the broom and stepped forward to ask.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Jiang back?" The old woman squinted her eyes and asked.

Xiao Ruo hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Yi Chu patted the dust on his hands, greeted him, and stretched out his hand to support the old aunt: "It turned out to be you, auntie, your eyes are not good, so don't come out casually, why don't you let people accompany you!" ”

"You're a Chu boy, right?" The old woman's right hand grabbed Yi Chu's hand, and her left hand reached out to his face, touching it for a while before she spoke.

"Yes!" Yi Chu nodded.

Listening to Yi Chu's words, an old chrysanthemum suddenly bloomed on the old aunt's face, only to hear her smile and say, "It turns out that you are really back, what about Mr. Jiang?" I have to thank him, if it weren't for the prescription he left five years ago, I would have seen Lord Hades a long time ago! ”

"Don't be so old for you, that's where your life is, Lord Hades doesn't dare to accept you. But Master didn't come back with me, and he continued to wander! It was the first time for Xiao Ruo to see Yi Chu smiling so happily.

Xu is Yichu saw the incomprehension in Xiao Ruo's eyes, so he explained: "This aunt lives next door, and once she suddenly fell ill, fortunately, the master was in the house at the time, so she saved her easily, and left a prescription to recuperate her body. It's just that I left in a hurry later, and I haven't seen it again. ”

What did he leave in a hurry back then, Xiao Ruo naturally knew in his heart.

"That's right! After your master and you left suddenly, the room was empty and never returned. If I hadn't been basking in the sun in the yard today, and I heard some noise next door, I felt the wall and came over to take a look, and I am afraid I wouldn't have known that you were back. In the past five years, it's been so fast, you're a lot taller, and my wife and my hands are almost out of reach! The old woman said with a sigh.

"Looking at my aunt's body, it's much better than it was five years ago." Yi Chu took the old woman's wrist and said.

At this moment, a woman dressed as a woman suddenly appeared at the door, her age did not look light, her body was a little fat, and she was slightly fat. The flesh on the face, when smiling, looks particularly pleasing. I saw that she was still holding an iron spoon in her hand, and she had an apron around her waist, and she looked like she was cooking.

The woman said with a little reproach, "Mother, why didn't you say a word and ran out." Don't let the little girl help you, what if you fall! ”

The old woman turned around and said, "I didn't hear this noise, I thought it was Mr. Jiang coming back, so I came over to take a look." ”

At this time, the woman seemed to notice the existence of Yi Chu and Xiao Ruo. After looking at Yi Chu for a while, he looked a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Chu boy is back, what about Doctor Jiang?" Why don't you see him? Our family owes a good thank you to him! The woman looked around for a long time, but didn't see Dr. Jiang, only Xiao Ruo stood there with a light smile.

"Master didn't come back together, and he still wanted to travel around in his lifetime." Yi Chu replied.

The woman looked Xiao Ruo up and down, although Xiao Ruo's face was full of dust, but the brilliance on his face could not be covered by dust.

The woman stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Ruo's hand and said, "This girl looks much more beautiful than the fairy in the sky, where did Chu Xiaozi find such a daughter-in-law?" What a blessing......"

Yi Chu listened to the woman's words, glanced at Xiao Ruo with some embarrassment, and quickly interrupted her, saying, "Sister-in-law Zhang, I haven't married a wife yet." She was also an orphan girl, and she had been taken in by her master a long time ago, but it was inconvenient to bring her to Kyoto at that time, so she was placed elsewhere. She is my sister and a mute girl, and my sister-in-law can call her dumb sister! ”

"Tut-tut, such a beautiful woman is mute, what a pity!" Sister-in-law Zhang's tone was obviously regretful.

"Eh, is the old woman's ears not good? When I entered the house just now, I heard her ask me what I was going to do! The old woman looked in the direction of Sister-in-law Zhang with a puzzled face, as if talking to herself.

The smile on Xiao Ruo's face stiffened, and she forgot that she should be a mute girl now......
