39 Sort of a friend
"Sister Mo'er, I've woken you up." Licheng scratched his head embarrassedly.
"No, sit down!"
Licheng sat opposite: "How do you sleep on the table, you can rest well." β
Mo'er touched her hair, her long black hair was already dry, although she was sleeping on the table, she woke up in a much better spirit, she didn't rush to answer Licheng's question, she stretched her waist with half-squinted eyes.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost time."
Mo'er stood up and walked towards the door, and when she came to the hall, she found that Grandma Zhang and Yaya were not there, Licheng knew who she was looking for, so she said: "When I came just now, they were not at home, they must have gone out." β
Mo'er thought to herself, it seems that Grandma Zhang sent Yaya to a private school, and she should be almost back.
tied up his hair casually, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot and took out the porridge and buns inside, put them on the table, and beckoned Licheng to sit down and eat together, Licheng lied that he had eaten it.
When he woke up, his first reaction was to come over and see Mo'er, but he didn't even have time to eat, ignored his swaying hand, and forced him to drink a bowl of porridge and two bags.
The two sat across the table facing each other, did not speak, just ate the food silently, and Licheng peeked at her from time to time, and the latter drank the porridge with a haggard face. There are too many questions in my mind.
Want to ask what she used to do? Why did you know the Prince? And who was the person who took her away in the mountains that day?
He also thought about it for a long time, and he still didn't have any clue, he could only be sure that the other party would not be an ordinary person, and suddenly found that she had a lot of unknown things, but she didn't know where to start.
Mo'er didn't need to look up, he knew that he peeked at himself from time to time, he only felt funny, knew what he was probably thinking in his heart, and didn't want to hide it, swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, and still didn't see him ask.
"Didn't you peek enough?"
Licheng was startled by the cold words, and he was choked on the porridge and coughed in an instant, he thought he hadn't been discovered.
Mo'er hurriedly got up and patted him on the back, and said funny: "As for it? β
His face flushed, and after coughing, he calmed down and breathed, and Mo'er sat back opposite with a smile, looking seriously at the boy in front of him, who was two years younger than him, and he looked back at her with a little embarrassment.
"You...... Prince...... What relationship? β
"Hmm...... It's a friend, and I met ...... in Night City before" briefly told me what happened in the paddock and what happened after leaving the paddock.
After listening, Licheng exhaled deeply and said softly: "That's it! β
What made him feel even more incredible was that he didn't know the prince, but what she did in the paddock could still live, think about it seriously, the person who appeared in the mountains that night must also be a dignitary, and the most likely thing is that it has something to do with the prince.
"Do you still want to track down the murderer?"
For him to ask this, she had already thought of it, and she didn't want to hide it, so she nodded without any hesitation, no way, she wanted to get the money.
"Why? Is it because of a thousand silver taels? β
Mo'er nodded without saying a word, and Licheng was about to open his mouth to say something, when Grandma Zhang pushed the door in, and when she saw the two of them, she immediately smiled and sat on the chair.
Mo'er poured a glass of water and put it in her hand, Grandma Zhang drank the water with a smile, and the three of them chatted casually, and heard someone shouting Mo'er's name outside.
Suspiciously, he came outside the house, Licheng followed behind him, and saw a strange middle-aged man standing outside, and a carriage was not far away.
"Who are you? What's the matter with me? β
The middle-aged man looked at her when he stepped forward and arched his hand: "I am from the prince's mansion, and the prince is invited." β
When Grandma Zhang heard the words of the visitor, she looked at Mo'er in surprise, and after a few seconds, she turned worried, thinking that Mo'er had offended the prince and protected her behind her like a hen protecting a chick.
Mo'er and Licheng looked at each other, and a warm current welled up in Mo'er's heart, taking Grandma Zhang's hand, and briefly explaining to her that she knew the prince, and the person who came was sent by the prince to invite her to a get-together.
Grandma Zhang relaxed her nerves, afraid that she would not be able to pick up Yaya from school, so she asked Licheng to help.
The carriage was running on the road, and from time to time I could look at the scenery through the window, and my mind began to think about the events of the night, of the corpse, of the ...... Some important clues flashed through my mind.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar shop, stopped the carriage urgently, jumped down, and before she entered the shop, she shouted loudly: "Boss Chen." β
A head poked out from behind the counter and responded with a restrained smile: "Mo'er, is there something wrong?" β
"Yes, I want to ask you something?"
"What?"
"Didn't you say before that Chinese medicine for blood tonic sells quickly? Do you know anyone who buys a lot of money? β
Boss Chen was stunned for a few seconds, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" β
Mo'er said in a low voice: "This is just a conjecture on my part, even if it is not 100%, it can't be wrong, it may be related to the serial murderer this time." β
Boss Chen stared at her dumbfounded, and only spoke for a few seconds: "This ...... How is this possible, what is the connection between Chinese medicine and murderers, even if there is, if you suddenly ask like this, I can't think of anyone for a while, otherwise, I'll tell you when I think about it. β
Seeing Mo'er nodding, Boss Chen continued, "Have you ever told others?" β
"No, that's what I just thought."
"That's good, I'm afraid that the government will know, and if you come to the shop twice in three days to look for it, you won't be able to do business at that time."
"I'm just guessing, how can I tell the government that this is not the case then, and I'm afraid that they will trouble me!" In fact, the real thing is that I am afraid that someone will rob the two thousand silver.
Bidding farewell to Boss Chen, he returned to the carriage and continued to move towards the Prince's Mansion.
After a short time, the carriage stopped at the door of the prince's mansion, jumped out of the car neatly, and looked at the spacious gate in front of him, and two handsome long-haired men stood at the door with a smile.
"Mo'er, I haven't seen you for two months, why are you getting thinner and thinner." The fourth prince patted her on the shoulder and smiled.
"Fourth prince, look at what you said, this is called slender."
"I heard the second brother say that I met you this morning, I can't believe itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I heard that you were caught by the officers and soldiers as a prisoner this time, and you really opened my eyes every time. β
Mo'er twisted her head embarrassedly: "Don't mention the past, it's really embarrassing." β
As soon as I sat down on a chair in the hall, I was served snacks and tea.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, just like when she first saw her, tied in a flowing cloud bun, her face was full of excitement and excitement, her eyes were moist and looked at Mo'er, who didn't say anything, hugged the girl with open arms, and shouted with unconcealed joy: "Caiyun." β
"Miss Mo'er."
The four of them sat around the table, chatting while eating pastries, Caiyun was a little restrained, fidgeting, listening to the conversation between the prince and Mo'er, and interjecting a few sentences from time to time.
