Since the night Lin Manliu was sent back to the secluded courtyard, he and Jiang Yanlin stayed in the courtyard and did not return to the pastry shop as originally planned.

In the days that followed, the boy in the shirt kept an eye on the pastry shop through the window edge on the second floor. I was surprised to find that Aunt Ruan would often pass by intentionally or unintentionally, and stop at the pastry shop when no one was around.

This made Lin Manliu have to wonder, what was Aunt Ruan's move for? Even when the two entered the city on the first day, he accidentally bumped into Aunt Ruan, so as to attract the attention of the other party, which in turn contributed to the conversation at the door of the shop in the evening... Even because of all this, how can you let it pass by day by day and stop from time to time?

Under Jiang Yanlin's observation in the past few days, he also saw Lin Manliu's incomprehension. He asked aloud beside him, "Brother Liu, could it be that someone wants Aunt Ruan to keep an eye on you, such as the purple-robed Taoist priest you said that day?" Lin Manliu shook his head and said: "Aunt Ruan is a native of Fengcheng, it is impossible for them to act so wrongly..."Jiang Yanlin suddenly said: "Maybe it is a familiar person to lower Brother Liu's vigilance..."

Lin Manliu said with a smile: "It's a good thing to think about it and see more, but you can't speculate on everything, so people will be tired!" Jiang Yanlin only felt that his eldest brother Liu was praising himself, so he immediately squinted and laughed, and even shook his head.

"Don't say it's okay, Yanlin is smarter!" Looking at the smiling appearance of the person in front of him, Lin Manliu raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"There's still a lot to learn in the future, just learn from behind me!"

"Be sure to follow behind Brother Liu!" After praising Jiang Yanlin, the short-shirted young man glanced at the direction of the pastry shop again.

Just in time, just as they were chatting, the woman-like Nguyen appeared in front of the shop.

Ruan Shi still looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, she stopped at the door of the pastry shop and waited.

Looking at Ruan's back, she seemed to be just staring at the crack in the door of the house, and had no other plans at all.

It didn't take long for Nguyen's body to move again, and she began to return in the direction of her home. Lin Manliu kept watching Ruan disappear from view, so he gently closed the window edge and turned to look at Jiang Yanlin.

The short-shirted boy asked, "But it's the same as before?" Jiang Yanlin nodded and said, "Well, it's been like this for the past few days, which happens to be the same as when we first met him." "In Lin Manliu's observation, Aunt Ruan doesn't just come once a day... Sometimes it was after dawn, sometimes it was after lunch, and finally it was the time when they officially met after they entered the city.

The first two times are uncommon, and only occasionally appear in front of the pastry shop. But this last time is that it comes every day.

Lin Manliu said: "Yan Lin, tonight I will first put all the utensils out of the city here, and find an opportunity to meet him tomorrow!" Jiang Yanlin nodded and said: "Everything is up to Brother Liu!" Let's go together tomorrow! The short-shirted boy said, "You stay here!" If something doesn't go wrong, take your horse out of the city immediately! As I said, hide in the forest under the stargazing mountain first, and wait for me to find you! Listening to Lin Manliu's arrangement, Jiang Yanlin seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he followed the young man's advice.

"Don't worry, since the purple-robed Daoist took the initiative to look for me before, there should be a guarantee in this Phoenix City!"

"But in case it doesn't matter if it's that person or Aunt Ruan's matter, it's an interlocking trap..."

"As the man said, our successful meeting with Yijian Villa is something that some people are happy to see, so our way forward, even if it doesn't go well, it won't be too difficult!" Faced with his eldest brother Liu's explanation, Jiang Yanlin had no choice but to give up and no longer mention the suspicions in his heart.

The young man in front of him was silent, and Lin Manliu had to pat Jiang Yanlin's shoulder again. This move caused the latter to inevitably look at him again.

The short-shirted young man said: "I went to meet with him, but also to dispel our doubts about the follow-up journey, just rest assured!" Jiang Yanlin immediately responded: "I understand, Brother Liu!" "The days are always longer in the summer, and the sky is getting darker than halfway through.

Lin Manliu pushed open the door of the secluded courtyard and prepared to go to the pastry shop to pack up his things. But before he walked out of the alley, he saw a Taoist in a purple robe and a black crown standing against the wall at the entrance of the alley.

The young man in the short shirt recognized it at a glance, it was the evil man-

"And the light" Cang Xuantong. Lin Manliu spoke up: "What's the matter? Cang Xuantong said with a smile: "Little Brother Lin thinks that I have a private matter in my mouth, even if it is over?" The short-shirted young man looked at him, and Cang Xuantong also stared at Lin Manliu with a playful smile.

"Lin Manliu, you just feel that you are still useful, but this can't be regarded as a special order after all..."

"I know this, but for the sake of now, I can only use it, right?"

"Indeed, but..."Cang Xuantong was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by the short-shirted young man's direct remarks.

Lin Manliu stared at the purple-robed Taoist in front of him and asked, "So what are you looking for me?" "That's what it is

"Dependent"... The purple-robed Taoist gave up his position and leaned back towards the edge of the alley. Cang Xuan said in the same words: "I've stayed long enough, of course it's time to send off guests!" ”

"Oh... No, I'm the guest! Then it's time to urge the owner of this place to leave early! Lin Manliu responded: "We will leave immediately, and we won't bother with Cangdao Chief!" ”

The word "we" was dragged very heavily by the short-shirted boy, and it was obvious that he was emphasizing his attitude with Cang Xuan.

The purple-robed Taoist watched the young man pass by him, and did not stop or say anything during the process.

It wasn't until Lin Manliu walked out of the alley that he heard Cang Xuantong's voice. As if reminding the boy in a short shirt,

"In the future, I will still have this attitude, but I will really die..."Lin Manliu repeated the previous words, still the same sentence,

"Don't bother Cangdao Chief!" After a short conversation with the purple-robed Taoist in the alley, the short-shirted young man only took two trips back and forth to move all the things they had continued to go south to the secluded courtyard.

In addition to some simple dry food prepared, it is some old clothes that can be used for disguise and dressing, and the summer cicada.

Knowing that Jiang Yanlin was going to rest later, Lin Manliu was busy in the courtyard alone.

He first searched for a well-proportioned stone, and began to compare on the dirt floor in the courtyard... First of all, the time when the two of them set off from the Buried Sword Valley, as well as some villages and towns with impressions, all went through them in their hearts one by one.

Every time he remembered a place, Lin Man slashed across the mud or stabbed down. He was reviewing the possibility of encountering evil surveillance on the way to this trip, and it was also the safest return route when he returned to Jiangnan in the future.

But as the teenager reviewed it, the more he found that something was wrong... As far as they were concerned, from the very beginning, Lin Man had already deliberately avoided the villages and towns, and walked towards the mountains and wilderness as much as possible.

Even if there is, the evil whistle has been following closely, and it shouldn't be so accurate. As soon as they entered Fengcheng with their front feet, they met Cang Xuantong with their back feet, which can be explained by the fact that someone they met under the stargazing mountain informed Cangxuantong, the person who was talking behind the scenes, of the news.

But from Cang Xuantong's words, he knew them or calculated the process of their trip to southern Xinjiang.

So where did they follow them? Lin Manliu's heart sounded

"Happy to see it", and then looked in the direction of the second floor, Jiang Yanlin was resting in the house at this time.

If Jiang Yanlin appeared in the Valley of the Buried Sword, was it deliberately done by evil? Thinking of this, the short-shirted boy couldn't help but feel a little confused, and hurriedly raised his foot to step on the mud floor.

Don't think about it too much, it's better to rest early. ...... The next day, early in the morning. Lin Manliu was the first to return to the pastry shop, deliberately half-covered the door of the house, and waited for Ruan's family

"Passing by". He didn't make the boy in the shirt wait too long, and soon there was the sound of slow footsteps outside the door.

When you get closer, the sound disappears. Lin Manliu pretended to yawn to open the door, and the person outside the door was really Ruan.

The young man in the short shirt was surprised: "Aunt Ruan? What a coincidence! Ruan Shi said: "Hey, Manliu is so early today..."Lin Manliu laughed, and said with a smile: "I woke up hungry, so I was thinking about buying some big white steamed buns..." I thought you were gone..."

"Man Liushou is a little clumsy, and I'm afraid that my mother's craftsmanship will be ruined, so I won't open the door!"

"Your mother was really ingenious a few years ago..."

"After listening to my father get drunk, I said it a few times!" Ruan suddenly fell silent, and he didn't talk to Lin Manliu anymore.

The short-shirted boy had no choice but to speak, "But it's really time to leave today... Aunt Ruan has something to ask for these times? Faced with Lin Manliu's sudden provocation, the woman looked a little cramped and uneasy, and her eyes dodged several times one after another.

However, Ruan Shi quickly looked at Lin Manliu again, and his gaze was a little dull. It was the look in the eyes of the young man when Lin Manliu came to the door for the first time.

Ruan Shi said: "Lin family baby, just because I haven't thanked you before, I just want to make up for it these days..." Really..."Nguyen let out a long sigh and looked in the direction of her house.

"Although I don't have much knowledge, I can see that Man Liu really wants to help me and the third... It's just that the third child is not hard enough, and you are not to blame..."

"Actually, when there was a great disaster in the city, I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't say it..."

"So, thank you so much!" After Ruan finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for the short-shirted boy to speak.

Only Lin Manliu stayed where he was, watching the desolate figure fade away. The conversation between the young man and the woman, on the second floor of the secluded courtyard, Jiang Yanlin saw all this scene in his eyes.

In the end, he stared at the Ruan family, who was already far away, and a trace of annoyance inexplicably rose in his heart.
