Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mother's News

On the second day, the morning glow was all over the sky, Li Wuchen sat on the terrace, exhaling and paying yuan, and on the table in the room not far from him, it was the same meal from yesterday.

Half an hour later, just as Li Wuchen had just finished his morning class, he saw Murong Wan'er come in with another basket.

"It's ...... What?"

Li Wuchen was a little nervous, for fear that Murong Wan'er would take out some dishes from the basket again.

Murong Wan'er smiled awkwardly, sat down beside Li Wuchen with her legs bent, and uncovered the flower cloth covering the basket in her hand......

Li Wuchen was stunned, and inside were several stacks of side dishes on palm-sized plates, as well as a pot of porridge.

"This ...... You did it?"

Murong Wan'er heard the nervousness in Li Wuchen's words, smiled toothily, and said, "Don't worry, this is made by our chef from Zang Haizhuang." ”

Hearing Murong Wan'er's words, Li Wuchen was a little relieved in his heart, as long as it wasn't done by her, anything else, Li Wuchen felt that he could still bear it, even if it was highly poisoned or something.

After scooping a bowl and tasting it carefully, Li Wuchen nodded lightly, the taste was sweet but not light, just right.

"It tastes good!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was careful and found that on Murong Wan'er's delicate jade hand, which was as white as jade, there were many red and swollen burn marks.

"You can't do that, do you?"

Li Wuchen flipped his right hand as he spoke, and took out a pair of scald medicine, which was made by Old Man Qiu, and the effect was wonderful, because he had to cook when he urinated, so he often had a lot of scald medicine on his body.

Murong Wan'er let Li Wuchen hold her jade hand, her pretty face blushed, although this bowl of porridge is simple, but she stayed up all night, and she made a total of seventy or eighty servings, this is the best one in it.

Feeling the slightest coolness on her hands, she only felt that the hard work of this night was worth it.

"Let others do this kind of thing in the future, how can you do such a rough job if you are so clumsy?"

Li Wuchen carefully applied the scald medicine to the red and swollen area, and said without raising his head.

"The next time I'll pay attention, are you going to leave with the 'Phantom Sea Flower'?"

Murong Wan'er's eyes were a little red and swollen, she had grown so big, except for her grandmother, it was Li Wuchen in front of her who was so good to her.

"Yes, I want to fulfill a promise to save people. ”

Li Wuchen raised his head after saying that, and gave the remaining ointment in his hand to Murong Wan'er.

Murong Wan'er was a little lost, and Banxiang seemed to have made up her mind, and said to Li Wuchen seriously, "Tomorrow is the day the flowers bloom, I will come to you tonight, you go with me to pick up the flowers!"

"Isn't it three days later?"

This is what Old Man Qiu told him, the full moon blooms, every year on August 15, when the Phantom Sea flowers bloom, there will be light that will be refracted to the sky at the top of Lingyun Peak, and there will be a heavenly palace to emerge, fairies to dance, phoenix birds to spread their wings, and the illusion of dragons leaping into the sky.

"That's a statement to outsiders, in fact, the real day of flowers is tonight. ”

Murong Wan'er said that, then got up and walked out, leaving Li Wuchen alone to sit in place and ponder.

He was thinking about the truth or falsehood of Murong Wan'er's words, after all, Old Man Qiu would not lie to him, and the two of them were just friends, why did the other party help him so much.

But even so, no matter what, I must go and see it tonight.

The people were still struggling with the reason, and there was a soft knock at the door.

"Li Gongzi, grandma is invited. ”

The one who spoke was a servant girl, not very old, estimated to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, who was standing quietly at the door at the moment, waiting for Li Wuchen's reply.

"Good!"

Li Wuchen listened, stood up, and followed the maidservant.

It is still a long corridor, and the old woman's room is located at the end of this corridor, a slightly chic and elegant small pavilion, in front of which is planted with all kinds of potted plants, and it is very carefully cared for.

The door was ajar, and it was clear that the old woman was waiting for him.

The maidservant stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and said respectfully inside, "Grandma, Li Wuchen and Li Gongzi are here."

"Let him in!"

The old woman's voice was a little weak, but as gentle as ever.

When he got here, the maid didn't follow anymore, gently pushed Li Wuchen open the door, and when he entered, he bowed down and retreated.

"I've seen my seniors!"

Li Wuchen made a move, this old woman's strength was quite terrifying, among the people he knew, I am afraid that only the old Taoist priest and Old Man Qiu could compare.

"If you don't dislike it, you can call me grandma like them. ”

The old woman sat on the chaise longue, swaying slightly, faintly with a powerful aura.

"Grandma, I don't know why I called Wuchen to come?"

Li Wuchen felt a trace of pressure, there were slight beads of sweat flowing on his forehead, and the old woman seemed to be casual, but she was deliberately targeting him.

"I know, you want the Phantom Sea Flower, and you also want to save the little girl of the boy of the King of Beijun. ”

After the old woman finished speaking, Li Wuchen felt a sigh in his heart and said, "Grandma has insight into heaven, Wuchen does have this plan. ”

After hearing this, the old woman's slightly cloudy old eyes looked at Li Wuchen for a moment, and said, "Li Laodao once taught me the art of physiognomy, you have the appearance of dying early, and it is really a miracle that you can live until now." ”

Li Wuchen took a deep breath, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Master's Taoism is unparalleled, or it is not necessary to change my life against the sky. ”

After listening to Li Wuchen's words, the old woman suddenly felt as if she had heard some big joke, and only heard her smile and said, "In the world, how can there be a change of life, I can't do it, and Li Laodao can't do it, even if it's ...... 'him'...... It can't be done. ”

Li Wuchen didn't answer, and waited quietly for the old woman's next step.

The old woman coughed twice, as if she knew that her topic was far away, and instead said, "I can give you the Phantom Sea Flower, but there are two conditions. ”

Li Wuchen arched his hand and said, "But listen to grandma!"

"Don't promise so quickly!"

The old woman shook her head, stared at Li Wuchen's eyes, and said, "First thing, I hope you can take over Zang Haizhuang." ”

Li Wuchen was stunned for a moment, but seeing that the old woman's expression did not seem to be fake at all, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wuchen is an outsider with an indifferent personality, and I ask my grandmother to be a candidate again." ”

The old woman ignored Li Wuchen and continued, "Second, I hope you can marry Wan'er. ”

Li Wuchen was just about to refuse, but after listening to the old woman's next sentence, the whole person suddenly froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"This is your mother's last wish, and you can't refuse!"

The old woman's body seemed to be much worse than yesterday, and after a violent cough, she summoned Li Wuchen to her and said softly, "I'm going to find your mother, so I may not be able to protect you, but you have to believe me, the person who killed your mother is !! in the capital."

Li Wuchen wanted to speak, but the old woman closed her eyes and waved her hand to tell him to stand back.

"Who is my mother? Who killed her!"

Since he was born, he has never heard the master talk about his mother, of course, he has also asked, but he was prevaricated by the old Taoist priest that he was a wild child picked up in the mountains, which is also the reason why the old Taoist priest called him 'mountain goods'.

Leaving the attic, Li Wuchen returned to his residence as if he had lost his soul, and the old woman did not give him an answer, only left a sentence: "If you want to find the answer, go to the capital." ”

"Capital !!"

Li Wuchen clenched his fists and stared at the direction of the northern capital, he had never been so eager to go to a place.

..................

The night came quickly, and Murong Wan'er also came as promised, and Li Wuchen followed behind her, all the way to the old woman's attic.

Li Wuchen frowned, and looked at Murong Wan'er with some puzzlement.

"If you want to pick up flowers, you need to use the slide here to enter the mountainside. ”

Murong Wan'er's tone was very heavy, and she continued, "Grandma usually rests on the second floor, you have to remember, the slide is under the rocking chair in the main hall, you only need to turn the rocking chair in one direction to open it, there are no guards there, I will take care of the wind for you, go and go back quickly!"

After that, she took Li Wuchen to step on the steps carefully, and the pavilion door was still hidden, which made Murong Wan'er a little surprised, and the usual guards were also gone today, which saved her a lot of effort when she wanted to transfer the guards.

Li Wuchen knew that this was the old woman's deliberate doing, she had already planned that she would come tonight, and thinking of Murong Wan'er's abnormal actions, Li Wuchen also understood the secret.

She just wanted to let herself take the Phantom Sea Flower and leave early, so that she would not disobey her grandmother's orders, and she didn't have to marry him, the best of both worlds.

Pushing open the door, Murong Wan'er beckoned Li Wuchen to hurry in, and she helped him control the wind.

And since Li Wuchen knew the reason, he was no longer so eager, and slowly arrived at the rattan chair, and after moving it in a circle, a secret door slowly opened on the side.

Inside the secret gate is a slide with an iron plate next to it, which is supposed to be specially prepared for entering the mountainside.

After stepping on it, only to hear the sound of 'whew', Li Wuchen disappeared into the attic, and after he left, the secret door slowly closed.

Murong Wan'er stared at the direction in which Li Wuchen disappeared, with a complicated expression.
