Chapter 82: Uncle
This girl had indeed read, and although she was eager, she spoke in a clear manner.
The situation of her family, the cause and effect of the whole thing, are all clearly explained.
After Li Tianxin listened, his brows frowned slightly:
"You aunt, it's too much of a thing."
Mingyue glanced at him and said in a low voice:
"She is indeed at fault, but it is difficult for her uncle to say the result, so she guards this glimmer of hope and gambles her own and her brother's lives.
"Inevitably...... It's really difficult for some strong people. ”
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows, not knowing whether this girl was willing to think about others or whether she was born with a virgin.
With his fingers tapping lightly twice on the table, he whispered:
"Since the other party asked for the things to be delivered within three months, it should have left you a place, right?"
"Yes."
Mingyue nodded:
"Less than twenty miles away from here, there is a Tiger Mountain, and there is a place called Tiger Leaping Stream on the Tiger Mountain.
And there they waited......
"Twenty miles...... Not too far. ”
Jiang Ran looked at the sun and suddenly smiled:
"Miss Mingyue, do you know Danqing?"
"A little bit ......"
Mingyue nodded slightly.
"Okay."
Jiang Ran stood up and glanced at Li Tianxin:
"Go and prepare some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Li Tianxin frowned slightly, and reluctantly agreed.
Jiang Ran glanced at Mingyue:
"You come with me."
"Okay."
Mingyue nodded again and again, the hope she finally encountered, no matter what she would experience next, she didn't plan to give up.
Jiang Ran led her directly into the inn and came to the table where she had sat down before:
"You eat first."
He gestured to something on the table.
Mingyue hesitated a little, but finally nodded, carefully picked up a bun, and bit it in small bites.
Jiang Ran looked at the prompt that popped up in front of him and fell into thought.
[Knife Catching Mission: Rescue Mingyue's father. 】
[Do you pick it up?] 】
This hint popped up when Mingyue begged Jiang Ran to save her father.
At this time, after Jiang Ran glanced at it twice, he asked:
"What's your father's name?"
"Father Liu Wenshan."
Mingyue hurriedly put down the bun and opened her mouth.
Jiang Ran waved her hand and asked her to continue eating, and then looked at the prompt in front of her, which had changed.
[Knife Catching Mission: Rescue Liu Wenshan. 】
“…… Is it still something else that complements the information of the entire mission? ”
Jiang Ran's expression was a little strange, what if this Liu Wenshan was already dead?
Three months, in fact, is not too long.
But if the other party only wants things, then it is very likely to kill Liu Wenshan, anyway, Mingyue and they don't know.
When the things are delivered, just grab them and leave, or kill all the people and take them away.
Unless...... Yes, there are concerns.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran had another question:
"Why is that thing in your uncle's hands?"
Although the cause and effect have been explained, there are still a lot of details missing.
Mingyue put down the chopsticks in her hand and said honestly:
"I heard that it was brought by my mother.
"My mother...... is not the daughter of a big family, but from a martial arts family.
"That thing seems to have something to do with the rivers and lakes.
"So it's very likely that I was taken away by my uncle......"
"I see."
Jiang Ran nodded, it made sense.
The initial purpose of these people going to Liu's house may not be to find that thing from Liu's house.
Rummaging through it is nothing but doing its best.
Catching Mingyue's father and forcing her uncle to hand over that thing is the key.
And the reason why they didn't go to his uncle was probably because they were jealous......
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but ask:
"What's your uncle's last name?"
"The surname is Ye."
Mingyue didn't even want to:
"When my mother was alive, I used to say his name, and his name was ...... Leaf Hollow Valley. ”
"What's it called?"
Jiang Ran suddenly raised his head and looked at Mingyue.
Mingyue didn't expect Jiang Ran to react like this, and subconsciously shrank back, seeing that Jiang Ran was only stunned, not angry, so she was a little relieved.
After groaning, he said softly:
"Childe, do you know my uncle?"
“……”
Jiang Ran let out a sigh of relief, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
Leaf Hollow Valley...... He is the head of the Red Maple Leaf family and Ye Jingshuang's father.
In other words, this girl is Ye Jingshuang's cousin?
Could the group of people who found her house be the group of people who ran out of the Heartless Ghost Mansion?
Jiang Ran had doubts about the affairs of the Red Maple Leaf family before.
I always feel that these people are in a desperate situation, why do they insist on challenging the Red Maple Leaf family?
The lord of the Ghost Mansion is eyeing him, and acting like this will do them all harm but no benefit.
Therefore, Jiang Ran wondered if there was something in the Red Maple Leaf Family, which they had to want to get their hands on.
These two ...... Doesn't it have anything to do with it?
But judging from the act, it is not like it.
Whether it is Dao Zhen or Zhang Dongxuan, they are ruthless, and they will never leave any one alive, especially those who have seen them, they all have to be killed.
If it were them, Mingyue would have been dead for a long time.
Jiang Ran groaned in his heart, and only after a moment did he glance at Mingyue, who was staring at him, and said softly:
"I've heard of it...... but I have never seen it. ”
"Oh."
Mingyue nodded, seemingly somewhat disappointed.
I feel that if I can meet my uncle's acquaintances, things will go more smoothly.
But now things are much better than she originally imagined, at least this person in front of her is a good person who is willing to give herself food.
Just thinking about it, I saw that in front of the inn, Li Tianxin came in with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
put it on the table, and before he could sit down, he heard Jiang Ran say:
"You're going out again......"
Li Tianxin was suddenly furious:
"Do you think I'm a subordinate?"
"No, it's not."
Jiang Ran glanced at him suspiciously:
"Aren't we friends?"
“…… Friend? ”
Li Tianxin was stunned.
Jiang Ran nodded seriously:
"Do you want to be so reluctant to do something for your friends?"
"I ...... I didn't. ”
Li Tianxin shook his head, feeling as if he was very sorry for Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran sighed:
"That's it, if you don't want to, forget it, I thought we were friends...... It turns out that that's not what you think in your heart. ”
“…… What are you going to ask me to do? ”
Li Tianxin gritted his teeth.
Jiang Ran was happy and was about to speak, but suddenly heard footsteps in front of the door.
As soon as I turned around, I saw that the flowery woman who had just left in embarrassment was following a group of people to the door of the inn, and saw Jiang Ran sitting here at a glance.
Immediately reach out and point:
"That's !! him"
Seeing this, Jiang Ran smiled at Li Tianxin:
"It's a bit fast, but it saves you another trip."
