Ruan Shi did not continue to be busy with the things in hand, she quietly looked at Lin Manliu who was sitting opposite her, and said loudly: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask."

"Manliu thanked Aunt Ruan..."After the short-shirted boy spoke, he bowed again.

Later, Lin Manliu and Ruan asked about the travel schedule of some caravans in the past, and whether Master Ruan would mention some outside things to Ruan Shi every time he returned to his hometown, and use these things as a reference for the direction of future travel, in the conversation between the two, Lin Manliu could feel Ruan's worries about her husband's failure to return this time, and the embarrassment of living in this phoenix city in the future.

As the two talked, the time came to noon, the sun spilled into the courtyard, with a little midsummer warmth reflected in the chickens in the yard, the thin hens seemed to be more comfortable in the sun, making a subtle chicken cry "cluck, cluck, da...".

"What Man Liu wants to ask has already been asked, thank you Aunt Ruan for being able to tell me, I will be cooking soon, so I won't bother Aunt Ruan anymore" Lin Man Liu got up and said, there was some fine dust on the trouser leg, and the short-shirted boy didn't plan to slap it now, it would be a little rude, so he didn't care.

"It doesn't matter... I'm just going to apologize for going to your house in the morning, and I hope your family doesn't take it to heart..."Ruan said in a slightly apologetic tone, and after finishing speaking, he also got up together, planning to send the young man to the door of his courtyard.

"There is a reason for the incident, Aunt Ruan is also anxious to act like this, I and my father and mother will not have any complaints, I just hope that Aunt Ruan will take care of her health in the future and wait for Master Ruan's safe return."

"Hmm... That's natural, and I'd like to thank my nephew Lin in advance."

Lin Manliu and Ruan's walked to the chaimen, the short-shirted boy took the lead in stepping out of the courtyard door and walked down the stone steps, Ruan's stood in the courtyard gate, the position of the two people was just like Lin Manliu had just visited Ruan's before, the only difference was that at first Ruan's heart was full of resentment and unwillingness in the face of this newcomer, and now it was just a conversation between the two sides, and she had a lot of changes about the young man under the stone steps in front of her and the pastry shop in the east city.

"Aunt Ruan doesn't need to send it away, I will go and ask a few other aunts next, and when the matter is finished, I will inform my family, and then I will prepare to travel far away" Lin Manliu waved his hand at the gate of the courtyard to say goodbye.

Ruan Shi in the courtyard gate did not respond verbally, his eyes were closed and he nodded, signaling that he understood, and then closed the chai door.

The boy in the shirt waited until the door was closed, then turned and left, ready to go to the next address related to the caravan, and not long after the boy left, there was a sound of human voices whimpering at the door, as if a woman was crying, but the sound was so small that if you had not listened carefully, you would have thought that it was the sound of a rooster in the courtyard gate.

In the follow-up process of Lin Manliu's visit, the basic situation was the same as visiting Ruan's family, when he first knocked on the door or met him in the alley, the other party thought that the young man was going to show off in front of him, and he wanted to come to them to show off his relationship with the old fairy who was watching the stars, so that they could give him a good face in a low voice.

Therefore, the first thing the short-shirted boy did when he met someone was that he could only explain his intention in advance, so that the other party's face would not be so ugly, and he could only ask about the caravan with him after talking to the other party until he had no anger.

After Lin Manliu's hard work this day, he finally visited most of the family members of the caravan, but there were some who didn't want to hear what he said at all, and directly closed the courtyard door to prevent the short-shirted young man from having any chance to ask, and these could only be visited later.

Today's chatter under the shade of the trees in Dongcheng also has some topics that are different from the past, the first is to say that the Lin family pastry shop, but the whole Dongcheng was surprised, even some rich masters in the west of the city may not be able to climb the relationship with those who participate in the stars and Taoist priests in the city, this Lin family pastry shop actually directly has a friendship with the old gods on the mountain.

"Did you see anything in front of the Lin family's shop today, his Lin family can be regarded as majestic, and in the future, it is estimated that those old men in the west of the city will have to come to talk to each other..."

"But no, I heard that the old fairy on the mountain fell in love with their child with thin arms and legs, and said that he wanted to be accepted as a disciple."

"How did I hear that it was the two relatives of his family who didn't know where they came from, and they had some friendship with the old gods on the mountain."

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard it, why don't I have such relatives in my family."

But as the short-shirted boy walked the streets and alleys, the chatter under the shade of the trees began to evolve from how the old fairy gave gifts in front of the pastry shop with different sayings at the beginning, and began to evolve into the "little son" of the Lin family, who was once cowardly, and began to provoke the neighbors and vow to turn the entire East City upside down......

"Hey... Look at the boy of the Lin family, he used to be bullied by anyone and would only fall to the ground, waiting for his sick and weak mother to come to the rescue, but now he has climbed up to the old fairy, it's different, don't look for trouble to find me in the future."

"Wait, I remember that last year, when the business of his pastry shop was good for a while, you told people that his pastries were not clean and made people yellow."

"How could it be me! You must be misremembering, I had some friendship with the Lin family in the early years, and I would say something to slander other people's pastries..."The voice of the person who spoke became quieter and quieter, for fear that someone who would listen to it would affect him in the future.

Lin Manliu walked in the streets and alleys of Dongcheng, summarized the things he asked about today, carefully wrote down some useful places and round-trip times, and planned to go home later to discuss with the old liar and plan the future route.

However, it is worth mentioning that during today's inquiry, I learned that the caravan had encountered people who had not returned home for a long time in the past, but in the end they were able to return safe and sound, which gave the short-shirted boy more confidence.

Lin Manliu was determined to go home first, and the remaining few would inquire later, so the short-shirted boy ran in the sun, walked lightly through the streets and alleys of Dongcheng, and went to the pastry shop, and turned the fork in front of him to see his home.

In front of the courtyard gate, I saw that the old liar was already leaning against the eaves, he should be waiting for himself to go back, the young man's running pace became sluggish, for the person in front of him, who was also a teacher and friend, he was annoyed by his words today, I don't know if he is still angry, Lin Manliu walked to Ye Dangting and there were still five or six steps in front of him, so he stopped and waited for the other party to speak.

But the short-shirted young man waited for a while, but he didn't see any questions from the other party, thinking that he might still be angry with himself, Lin Manliu was about to explain.

Unexpectedly, Ye Dangting suddenly looked at him and said, "We, the evil young man in Dongcheng, are finally willing to come back after inspecting it?" ”。

Lin Manliu was a little stunned by this sentence of Dongcheng Evil Shao's question, and he asked with some confusion: "... What is the evil of Dongcheng? ”。

I only heard Ye Dang hear a sigh, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the short-shirted young man in front of him, "You have been out for so long today, don't you know what people outside say about you, saying that you now have the protection of the old fairy on the mountain, and in the morning, I humiliated the aunts in the alley in front of the door, and during the day, I was still angry and took the initiative to find someone to ask for an explanation."

Hearing Ye Dang's words, the young man in the short shirt understood what the reason was, when he was walking in the streets and alleys today, those neighbors who usually knew him deliberately avoided him, thinking that he was just a little faster, and he didn't want to be like this.

"I just went to the door and asked the aunts about the caravan... Alas, sure enough, gossip hurts the most," Lin Manliu said helplessly.

"It's okay, now that the rumors are like this, in the future, no one in Dongcheng or the entire Fengcheng will come to provoke your family at will, maybe there will be some rich people in the west of the city who want to come over and have some relationship with your family, after all, those people are the people who believe in this view of the stars the most" Ye Dangting said casually.

Hearing that the family might encounter trouble because of these things in the future, Lin Manliu began to ponder, he had to prepare some ways to deal with it, otherwise how could the family be stable after he ran away.

Seeing that the short-shirted young man was pondering things in front of him, Ye Dang heard Ye Cai guess most of the time, and then said: "These things are actually not bad things, in the future, Eleven and I will naturally pay attention to these personnel movements in Fengcheng, since you want to go out by yourself, how are you dealing with it today?" ”。

Listening to the old liar's first half of the persuasion, the young man felt a little relieved, but the second half of the sentence was to ask himself how he was prepared, and he was a little surprised.

"You're not stopping me from going out on my own?".

"Stop you, if you really want to run, I have to let you keep it, and since I really feel that my wings are hard, I should go out and fall miserably to know what the pain is!" Ye Dangting said with a look of disgust.

"Oh—" The young man in the shirt replied when he heard the old liar's reply, and his tone seemed to be a little disappointed, but also like joy.

"Forget it, enter the house and say, your brain is not me, I am afraid that you will be put into a sack and sold before you get out of Jiannan" Ye Dang heard and turned around and went into the house.

Lin Manliu followed Ye Dangting back to the pastry shop at home like this, but when he entered the house, he saw that his mother and master were behind the counter, and they were all looking at him with a smile, and the young man also smiled and waved his hand to the two at the same time.

There was a plate of food boxes on the counter, and when Lin Manliu approached, Lin Mu opened the food box, and there was a bowl of rice and two plates of side dishes in it, and there was some heat on top of the meal, which should have just been cooked.

"The eleventh girl counted the time and said that you are coming back soon, mother, I will go and heat up the cold dishes, Man Liu must be tired outside today, eat quickly" Lin Mu said to the short-shirted boy with a smile.

"Hmm!" Lin Manliu responded with a smile, and when he lifted the bowl, he also looked at his master, and smiled at his master, and Eleven also smiled.

Ye Dang listened behind him, and when he saw that the young man was so grinding and chirping when he was eating, he raised his hand and knocked on Lin Manliu's head, "What are you laughing at, eat your meal!" ”。

Eleven was a little speechless when he looked at this scene, and then his smile retracted, and he looked at Ye Dangting with the eyes of a dead man.

After perceiving Eleven's eyes, Ye Dangting had to scratch his head and pretend to laugh, Mother Lin tidied up some messy hair ends for her child when the teenager was eating, and Lin Manliu was feasting in such an environment.

Although it was only a reheated meal, the boy tasted very fragrant and fragrant.
