When I was on the road, looking at the lush jungle on both sides, I always had a shadow in my heart, for fear that if I didn't pay attention, someone would rush out of the dense forest and shoot at me with a gun.

But it turned out that this was just an illusion, and we arrived at Blue Moon's hometown relatively safely and smoothly along the way.

The thatched huts still stand here, and the vegetable garden in the yard has been untended for months, and it has long been overgrown with weeds.

Blue Moon pushed open the door of the thatched hut with a sad face and walked in, and we also followed behind when we saw this, and found that everything in the thatched hut was as usual, but all the items had not been used for a long time, and they were covered with thick dust.

Seeing that the thatched hut that she had lived in for more than ten years and grew up with her became what it is now, Lan Yue's tears could no longer be stopped, and she suddenly burst into tears and cried fiercely.

The people on the side all shook their heads and sighed, but there was no way, Li Su stepped forward and gently comforted Lan Yue, but it had no effect.

I came to Grandma Yuan's grave again, and after some memorial service, we came back from Hubei, originally thinking that I would be able to ease the relationship with Blue Moon a little along the way, but it turned out that I thought too much, and Blue Moon's stubbornness came up completely, and he didn't say more than half a word to me along the way.

And my injury is almost healed, after discussing with Brother Haojie, I decided to go back to my hometown in Zhucheng, at this time, Uncle Pan suddenly found me.

"Uncle, I'm going back, do you have anything to do?" Looking at Uncle Pan in front of me, I asked curiously.

The old god stick is still the old god stick, I saw him push his sunglasses, and then pretended to be profound: "Little crane, I gave you a batch of eight characters, you are 21 years old, it is the best age in life, so you need to do something by yourself, now my uncle is very busy with business here, and he can't get out, and the "Yi Xiu Tang" in Zhucheng will be handed over to you to take care of!" ”

After the old god stick finished speaking, he didn't give me time to refuse, and directly handed me the key to his Yi Xiu Hall, and then said that he had something to talk about.

Looking at the key on the table, I was at a loss, thinking: When Uncle Pan comes back, I will return the things to him.

But at this moment, my phone rang at an inopportune time......

Looking down, the number is unfamiliar, but the place of attribution of the call belongs to Weifang, Shandong, that is to say, it is a call from my hometown.

"Hey...... Hello ......"

I thought it was some kind of friend, so I picked up the phone anyway.

"Hey, boss, when are you coming back~ I can't do a lot of work in the store~" The voice of a delicate girl came from the other end of the phone.

I was stunned when I heard this voice, and I felt a little familiar with it, but I couldn't remember it for a while, and after two seconds, I slowly replied: "You, hello, are you looking for the wrong person?" ”

It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with my answer, and there was a grief on the other end of the phone: "Shouldn't you forget about people~"

At this moment, my brain is also running at high speed, thinking about this voice, could it be those princesses in Qingdao? After thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be like their voices, and the accent was not ......

"Uh...... I don't really think I remember. ”

After a while, a sentence came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, you noble man forgets things!" I'm Wang Manli~ I'm Mr. Pan's apprentice, didn't the master hand over the store to you? So come back and take care of things~"

After hearing these words, I immediately became clear, and I also remembered who Manli was, and I still remember the time when there was a cat corpse in my grandmother's grave, Uncle Pan brought a female apprentice at that time, it seemed to be called Manli, it turned out to be her.

I know now that Uncle Pan is setting me up again, as soon as he left with his front foot, he asked his apprentice to call me with his back foot, clearly wanting me to have no way to refuse.

Just when I was about to tell Manli that I was not capable enough and wanted to refuse, Manli, the little girl, also hung up the phone.

I remember Uncle Pan once said that Manli is only 18 years old this year, and now it seems that this little girl's mind has also been sent out to exercise, very mature, sophisticated, and by no means something that an 18-year-old girl can do.

Seeing that Uncle Pan didn't answer the phone, I knew that I really had to go back this time, besides, I hadn't been back to my hometown for a long time, and I really wanted to go back to have a look.

Thinking of this, when I waited for Brother Haojie to have time in the evening, I took the initiative to find Brother Haojie and sat down with him and drank some tea.

When drinking tea, I told Brother Haojie about my idea of going back to my hometown in Zhucheng, Brother Haojie nodded, and replied: "I heard Lao Pan say, you really should go back, you can help take care of the business in his store first, and talk about it when you have time." ”

As soon as I heard Brother Haojie say this, I completely figured it out, it turned out that these people were working together to trap me, of course, I knew that they were also for my good.

Looking at Brother Haojie, I couldn't help but express the doubts in my heart: "But I have never been engaged in this work before, so I have no experience." ”

But Brother Haojie shook his head disappreciatively: "Believe me, your strength is definitely not worse than anyone else, you just lack a certain amount of experience now, but you have learned the jade box, and you have also read Grandpa Zhang's notes, besides, I have seen Lao Pan's female apprentice twice, she is talented and smart, and she is also beautiful, with her help, you will definitely not have any problems!" ”

"That being said, in fact, I'm not too worried about my own technology, and I'm even more at ease, it's actually Blue Moon!"

Hearing me mention Blue Moon, Brother Haojie couldn't help but glance at me, and then shook his head helplessly: "The matter of Blue Moon, don't think about it anymore, some knots may take a long time to untie, or even a lifetime." ”

"What about the nameless ancient sword of the Li family? Now that the mission is complete, shouldn't we give it back to others? Hasn't the old patriarch of your family been thinking about it all the time? ”

As soon as he mentioned the ancient sword, Brother Haojie actually smiled, his smile had a deep meaning, and after looking at me for a while, Brother Haojie said slowly: "Don't worry about the ancient sword over there, we have our own arrangements here, and your family also knows about it, you see that he didn't urge you, right?!" ”

I don't know why, I always feel that Brother Haojie's identity is not simple, so I couldn't help but ask again before leaving: "Brother Haojie, what is your identity?" ”

Sure enough, after glancing at me, Brother Haojie shook his head again and did not answer my question directly.
