Chapter 64: Overnight at the Ancient Temple
And the Xie family became the richest man in Wucheng again, mastering nearly sixty percent of the business at this time. These days, those business relatives who were originally far away continue to come to the door, making Xie Mansion very lively.
Finally, in the evening, the people retreated. The courtyard was clean again. Li Mu sat on the chair next to her, waved everyone away, and looked at Yang Lan carefully.
"Girl," Yang Lan replied casually, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked up at Mother Xie fiercely. I saw her with a sly smile. Yang Lan was stunned and asked, "You, how can you see it?" ”
Xie Mu said: "I guessed. Seeing that Yang Lan was confused, she said happily: "Where are there any fairies in the world?" When I heard Bin'er talk about it that day, I immediately thought that the woman was you. ”
She looked Yang Lan up and down, and said, "However, I can't see it from the outside, so I tried to shout, no, you will respond immediately." ”
Yang Lan smiled, and Xie Mu said again: "You girl is really clever." This time, the Xie family really owes you a great favor. Yang Lan shook her head again and again and said, "It's not." She swallowed the fruit in her mouth with great effort and said, "I also saw the excitement, and I thought it was fun." ”
Mother Xie looked at her kindly, and suddenly said, "Listening to Bin'er, you don't seem to have parents. Seeing Yang Lan nodding, she said again: "So, are you willing to recognize me as your mother and be my righteous daughter?" ”
Yang Lan was stunned for a moment, knelt on the ground happily, knelt two heads happily, and shouted, "I've seen my stepmother." Mother Xie happily haha, looked at Yang Lan dotingly, and said, "Girl, your temperament is a little similar to Bin'er, and you are not a shrewd person." In the future, you two brothers and sisters will get along well. ”
Speaking of this, she frowned, Yang Lan also thought of something, and said loudly at the moment: "No, I don't want Brother Bin to know my identity now." Seeing that Xie Mu looked at herself inquiringly, she said generously: "Brother Bin is stunned, if he knows, I won't be fun." ”
Mother Xie smiled bitterly, saw Yang Lan's insistence, and said immediately: "It's okay, it's up to you." All you have to do is call me stepmother. ”
Yang Lan got a positive answer, and happily nibbled on the fruit in her hand. Xie Mu took care of her movements, and after a while, she suddenly said, "Girl, for some reason, you remind me of a friend of an old friend." ”
Yang Lan looked up at her inquiringly. saw Xie Mu's face contemplative. She looked into the garden and said, "You must have heard of my old man. She is the true valley lord of the Heavenly Valley. Without looking at Yang Lan, she said to herself: "My friend, this life can be regarded as extremely complete and honorable." I heard her say that it was all from a friend of hers. Speaking of which, the friend in her words is quite similar to your image. ”
At Shangyang Lan's innocent eyes, she smiled and lowered her voice. said in an almost murmuring tone: "I'm old, and the things in this world are changing, and I can't control them anymore." Besides, fate is predestined, and this is not something I should worry about. ”
So saying, she actually stood up and walked into the house. Yang Lan looked at her back and thought: The stepmother looks like she is thirty years old at most, where is she old?
After staying in Xie Mansion for four or five days, Yang Lan couldn't sit still. Thinking about walking around. Mother Xie is a very shrewd person, and she can see Yang Lan's thoughts at a glance. comforted on the spot: "And in one more day, your Uncle Li's nephew will come over tomorrow." He is a Jianghu man, and he is preparing to go to Rutian Valley. You go with him, and you have a care. ”
Yang Lan was overjoyed when she heard this, at this time, there were still more than twenty days before the conference of Rutiangu. And this Wucheng is less than a thousand miles away from Rutian Valley. It only takes five days to reach on horseback. Therefore, Yang Lan's mood is now very good.
She hadn't thought of Long Zizi for a long time, and naturally she didn't feel anything terrible about Tiangu. According to her thoughts, she only needs to pretend to be an inconspicuous little boy and mix in the crowd to watch the excitement for a while, and no one should be able to spot her.
She has a changeable temperament, and she is quite fond of the new and dislikes the old. After arriving at Xie's Mansion, even Sanyu didn't think about it. The whole person was so happy and peaceful that it seemed to have returned to the mountain. Therefore, there is no longer any hesitation about watching the excitement of Shangru Tiangu.
The next day, Uncle Li's nephew Fang Tian came over. This is a man in his thirties, who is tall and tall, and he is not angry but powerful. However, the eyes looked a little similar to Xie Bin, so Yang Lan automatically classified him as the type that could be bullied.
The two said goodbye to Li's mother, and in the Li family's mother and son's thousands of miles of send-off, they turned back and went on the road step by step. The two of them had a horse each, and as soon as they got on the official road, they threw off the horse's hooves and galloped wildly.
Fang Tian's temperament is thick and fine, and as soon as he stops, he will first ask Yang Lan if there is anything uncomfortable. If there is anything to eat, let her first.
"It's getting late, and I haven't seen a single inn on the way, so it looks like I'm looking for a place to spend the night." Fang Tian looked at the gloomy sky, this ghost weather, it has been overcast, and it doesn't rain, so the two of them missed the night.
Yang Lan snorted, Fang Tian Jianghu had more experience than her, so she was so happy that she didn't have to worry about anything.
The two of them ran for another twenty miles, and saw a ruined temple in front of them. Fang Tian shouted, "Great, the place to live is settled." Brother Yang, your body is weak, I will find a good clean place later, I will help you spread a little grass and sleep well. ”
Yang Lan also answered loudly, and the two hurried there. When they came to the broken temple, they tied their horses and the two of them strode inside.
This temple doesn't look so old, and there are no obvious big holes in the roof, so it seems that even if it rains, it won't be afraid. Fang Tian was overjoyed, and while cleaning, he explained to Yang Lan and said, "I'll go outside for a while, brother, you stay here first." With that, he clapped his hands and walked outside.
As soon as he went out, Yang Lan happily drilled around the temple. She almost had to turn around every corner. When she came to the back of the statue, she was even more happy to circle and circle.
Although the temple is dilapidated, it is not very dirty. Even behind the statue, Yang Lan didn't see any obvious dirt. I can't help but feel strange. She stretched out her hand, touched here and there, but in the blink of an eye, she successfully turned herself into a mud monkey.
At this moment, she saw at a glance that the back of the elbow of the idol seemed to have a scar the size of a copper coin. With Yanglan's temperament, she has to touch it if she has nothing to do, not to mention that this place doesn't look like it's off the paint?
On the spot, she put her hand on it and pressed it, and she pressed it, and turned left and right. Suddenly, there was a heavy sound of "boom" from the ground, and Yang Lan's feet moved.
