A pot of new tea should not be heated a second time after it has been cooled.

The tea in the cold season will be cold after a long time, and it should be impossible for people to catch up.

"Sister Zhinian......" Xiao Sixteen, who helped Old Man Luo cut the thread, called her with some concern.

He was answered without a word.

Tuk Tuk –

The sound of a knock on the door.

Luo Gan rubbed his frozen hands, and was about to knock on it for the third time, when the door of the pharmacy was slammed open.

He saw Lin Zhinian's rapid change from surprise to loss.

"Ah, it's you ......" The agreed agreement fell through, and Lin Zhinian smiled reluctantly.

Luo Gan felt at a loss.

"Come on in. ”

It's not that Lin Huaduan can't catch up with the tea she makes. Luo Qian told her that Lin Huaduan was very busy today, so he had to ask him to send the gift.

"Brother Lin brought a gift to Sister Zhinian?" Xiao Sixteen said in surprise.

"Uh, alas, it's too slippery...... I fell and lost it. ”

Lin Zhinian was not angry. On the contrary, the haze that lasted for several days was swept away by his words.

For Luo Gan's return, Old Man Luo was also pleased. The situation in the Lin Mansion is unpredictable, but he is too old to intervene in the struggle for power.

And this young man in front of him may be a turning point.

Throwing all the trivial work to Xiao Sixteen, Old Man Luo got up and took Luo Gan to the guest room.

Along the way, he greeted him with warmth, and made a gesture of wanting to speak and stopping.

Luo Gan's mind was clear, and he listened quietly after following Old Man Luo into the house, and slowly waited for him to get to the point.

"Haha, after all, you're young! Look at you, carrying so many things, you don't have to breathe when you get to the house. ”

Luo Qian smiled and put the package away, most of which were bright frost items. Now that the two are separated, Mingshuang probably hasn't realized that some personal belongings are in Luo Gan's package.

Old man Luo slowly told Luo Gan about the old things: "Seven or eight years ago, the old man was nearly half a hundred years old, and he could carry more things on his shoulders than this!"

"Haha!"

"Carrying a burden on his shoulders, one basket contains Xiao Zhinian, and the other basket is full of medicinal herbs. At that time, Xiao Zhi was ten years old, thin as firewood, and he was not as heavy as medicinal herbs when he sat in the basket. ”

Time passes, things are not people. Lin Zhinian finally grew from the thin girl who first arrived at the pharmacy and cowered to the future head of the Lin Mansion who was in charge of herself.

Luo Gan probably had a guess about Old Man Luo's intentions.

“...... When the lord entrusted Xiao Zhinian to me, he told me to raise her to be a gentle and courteous hostess who did not fight or grab. ”

Old man Luo took a thick cloak for Luo Gan, and the two walked out slowly.

"But how can I force human nature?"

Luo Qian silently glanced at his shoes, which were not completely wet, but they were much more comfortable than the tattered straw sandals in the past. "Miss Lin can keep the pharmacy in good order, and she does have the demeanor of being a housekeeper. ”

This child, in fact, it is not that I taught her how to be in charge, but that she heard our words and tried to learn by herself. When the master didn't come, you see, she was just that big grin......"

Old man Luo's words are good. Lin Zhinian is not a gentle girl.

"But what the Lin Mansion needs in the future will definitely be her, not a vase that is useless. ”

Old man Luo shook his head, "Something happened a while ago. Zhinian saw the eldest young master who had been worried for many years, but it was a little unpleasant. Of course, I know that the Lin family will not regret the marriage. But life after Zhinian is not easy! Eh, did the eldest young master really bring a gift to Zhinian?"

This time, Luo Gan felt embarrassed, "I'm foolish." He asked me to comfort Miss Xialin. I thought that instead of telling me a lot, I might as well tell a lie. ”

"You're a man of heart. Seeing that the stove room was about to arrive, Old Man Luo decided to temporarily interrupt the topic, "It's a pity, I can see it at a glance." There is an unknown fox around the eldest young master, how can he care about the year. ”

"He's pretty unreliable. "There should be very few men who can control it before beauty, right? Lin Huaduan once told him that he would not marry if he was not in charge of the year, but he did not say that he would not accept concubines.

The first meal back to the pharmacy was made by Old Man Luo with him.

There was a light rain outside the window, and a fire was lit in front of people.

One of the most comfortable things is not to have someone else to provide food and clothing at all times. Instead, you can get away from the complex crowd and return to your own hometown.

No calculation, no coercion.

When Old Man Luo felt polite to a certain extent, he would make this request that he could not refuse.

Luo Gan, who was used to escaping, finally got tired of escaping. Even he can think of a reason to refuse.

Or not refuse.

After five days of delicious food and drink in the Lin Mansion, Mingshuang remembered to go to the pharmacy to find Luo Gan.

After arriving at the pharmacy in the north of the city, as soon as the servants of the Lin Mansion who sent him over left, Mingshuang excitedly pounced on Luo Gan, who was thinking about life.

Xiao Sixteen's eyes widened, "Sister Zhinian, that is Brother Luo Gan's good brother, right?"

Lin Zhinian pursed his lips and smiled. This person she had never seen before, and his behavior was a little strange. She won't have any opinions, as long as they ......

Mingshuang dragged Luo Qian to the courtyard.

She only hoped they wouldn't fight.

At this time, Luo Gan, who was dragged by the collar by Mingshuang, deliberately grabbed the threshold when he walked to the door of the house, and the two stopped together, staring at each other with big eyes.

Seeing Luo Gan's mocking smile, Mingshuang became angry, "You really killed me." ”

"I'm really sorry I didn't kill you. He straightened up his clothes and said.

"Why did you take my things away? The glass cup I drank from, the wolf pen with the sigil ......"

A lot of words smashed into Luo Gan's ears, he picked up the package that he had packed up a long time ago, ignored Mingshuang and walked out.

It's time to head to Shimizu Village.

He was suddenly curious about how all this came about.

On Wu Yi's letter to him, there is such a sentence: "You don't live for yourself." ”

If Luo Gan doesn't live for himself, can he live for him? The sable warned him that his lips were cold, and now, he really wanted to try how much he could resist beatings.

The matter of going to Qingshui Village to investigate is simple and straightforward, that is, he wants to find out some of the missing corpses in Sanli Village.

He admits that Qingshui Village and Sanli Village are not far away.

But Lin Huaduan reminded them that there was no need to go to Sanli Village to find clues about the corpse. They directly narrowed down the object of suspicion to Qingshui Village, and could even lock on Yangpu Guiren, who was engaged in god-worshipping activities in Qingshui Village.

It can also be said to be the master after Yang Pu's return.

The inaccessible mountain forests are covered with a thin layer of snow particles everywhere, including Sanli Village.

Mingshuang asked him where Sanli Village was, and asked him how such a horrific thing could happen in Sanli Village.

Luo Gan could only answer one question: "Down the mountain, walk to the slope in front and look northeast." ”

In the vast white expanse, the collapsed houses showed that only a few patches of thatch were left on the roof.

"Look, that's it. ”

Mingshuang looked at that place and thought to herself, such a thin layer of snow should never be trampled on again.

The road to Qingshui Village did not need to pass through Sanli Village, they only needed to go in the direction of the river. The village of Clear Water is downstream of the river, where there is a murky Clear Water Bay.

Luo Qian calculated their steps, and the time that Lin Huaduan gave them should be sufficient.

"Do you want to take a break? I know there's a sheltered hole in the hill opposite. He asked Mingshuang.

"Why don't we go to the village?"

An abandoned village, rumored by outsiders, has a ghost floating inside.

On the way to bring Mingshuang over, Luo Gan briefly told him about his experience in Sanli Village.

Mingshuang listened carelessly, and he cared more about whether he could find some clues in Sanli Village.

“...... After Lin Huaduan and I escaped, there should have been a big fight in the village. ”

Mingshuang snorted coldly: "It's strange that the village where the Huangquan lamp is buried doesn't have a fight. Moreover, it will only be the strong who will come, and it is not enough to be bold. Of course, there are also ignorant, incompetent and inexperienced mortals like you. ”

"Lin Huaduan needs my help. ”

"Oh my God, you're going to help someone?"

Luo Gan was holding the copper coin that Lin Hua had given him at that time, and smiled happily, "I'm a very good person, not a good person." ”

"But I'm a little strange, at that time, you should have taken the Yellow Spring Lantern out. Mingshuang then immediately figured out that Wu Yi had done less to secretly deal with Chen Cang's affairs! The master in charge had told them a lot about this person's chivalrous deeds, but every time he saw this person, Mingshuang always thought he was a scoundrel.

Letting Luo Gan take away the Huangquan Lantern and attract the attention of those people by himself is indeed Wu Yi's style.

"It's here. Mingshuang, the old scholar who saved me lives here. Of course, now only Grandma and the little girl live. ”

Luo Qian went over and knocked on the door, and Mingshuang muttered, "There are many people who save you." ”

"Grandma—"

The wind was a little cold, Luo Gan clenched his fists and knocked on the door a few more times.

The door was untethered, and it opened with a slight push.

The house was empty, and the good news was that there were no bodies.

Grandma and Nian Nian disappeared together.

Whether it is the back mountain, the vegetable garden, or the north of the village, there is no trace of them.

Luo Gan searched back and forth, Mingshuang closed his mouth surprisingly, and did not repeat the baskets of words in his heart.

The well that was broken by him, the dilapidated house where Dong Xiaoling lived temporarily, the north of the village where the village chief and some selfish people gathered, the vegetable garden where the old scholar picked up vegetable leaves, and so on.

Luo Gan thought of the best situation, that is, the nearby mountain village took in their grandfather and grandchildren.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, they decided to leave Sanli Village and continue their journey. When they were about to reach the entrance of the village, they happened to hear someone shouting from behind, but Luo Gan didn't reply, so he ran away.

Mingshuang turned his head to look at them, and it was two men who called them. "It's really a narrow road...... he smiled and beckoned to the other party, quickly keeping up with Luo Gan's pace.

As soon as the two Lihe Gang disciples touched the scabbard, the two figures at the entrance of the village disappeared without a trace.

"Can you get people done?" said the short one, with a sad face. finally escaped from the maze, and was scolded by the master again after being scolded by the senior brother.

Unable to catch Luo Gan, he had to follow his senior brother to Sanli Village to do errands. I didn't expect to find nowhere to find when I stepped on the iron shoes...... Before he could say the happy words, the boy fled.
