Chapter Seventy-Three—The Red and the White
After Meng Ran put away the pill, he gave Lu Shen a slight salute, and said apologetically: "You came to visit, but you were made like this, I really can't help it, I apologize to Senior Hong for Uncle Geng." ”
Lu Shen looked at Meng Ran with a smile in his eyes, and asked softly, "What about me, didn't you want to say something to me?"
Meng Ran scratched his head, did not answer Lu Shen's question directly, and said softly, "How do you know that I am here?"
Lu Shen didn't get the answer he wanted, he was slightly disappointed, and said in a light tone: "Have you forgotten what my family does? You made such a big fuss in Jiaxing, how could I not know?"
Meng Ran sighed and asked with great concern, "The family has been peaceful recently, right?"
Lu Shen sighed softly and nodded, "It's just a little thing, but it's okay overall." ”
Then the two had a dragonfly exchange, and soon changed the topic, avoiding this topic that could not be carried out in depth.
After a few words of gossip, Meng Ran asked solemnly, "What are Brother Lu's plans in the future?"
Lu Shen didn't answer, but asked, "What about you, are you going to live a peaceful life here?"
Meng Ran shook his head and said very seriously: "Naturally not. I'm going to head north to Mount Wuliang. ”
Lu Shen looked at Meng Ran with a puzzled expression, and asked in a strange tone, "Why?"
Meng Ran smiled, and just said concisely: "My husband asked me to go." ”
Lu Shen sighed, and did not continue to ask the bottom of the matter, and said lightly: "Then when are you going to go?"
"When this is over, I'll leave immediately. Meng Ran replied.
Lu Shen smiled playfully and sneered: "That beautiful lady who can't bear you?"
Meng Ran was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he understood who the beautiful girl Lu Shen was talking about, he smiled lightly and said: "You think too much, she is just a gift from someone else, I don't like it, and nothing happened." ”
"Don't you like it?" Lu Shen's tone was very strange, and he said in a deep voice: "Since you don't like it, how can it be rumored to be rumored? Manly husband, if you like it, you like it, why don't you dare to admit it? Do you mind her identity?"
Meng Ran hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Brother Lu has thought about it. It's not that I don't like her because of her status, but I don't have the slightest coveting of her. As for the wind and rain in the mouths of the people in the city, it is just a rumor spread by people with intentions. ”
Lu Shen glanced at Meng Ran and said, "Since you don't like her, why do you still keep her by your side?"
Meng Ran smiled and said very casually: "We will leave soon, and there won't be too much intersection." The reason why I stayed for so long was just to recuperate, and now that my injuries have recovered, I will soon continue to travel north. ”
Lu Shen was about to say something more, but was stopped by the red girl who came out of the house.
"Lu Shen, it's time for us to go. The red girl in red had a face as heavy as water, and her voice was a little cold and piercing.
Lu Shen looked at the red girl with cold eyes, and stopped talking, and after a long time, he reluctantly smiled and said softly: "Yes, it's time for us to go." ”
Meng Ran frowned slightly, and stood in place a little bewildered, his hands clenched tightly together, looking nervous.
Lu Shen smiled lightly at Meng Ran and said, "I came to visit your condition on this trip, and since I have already seen it, I should also go." ”
Meng Ran asked worriedly, "Where is Brother Lu going?"
Lu Shen shook his head and said: "If you see it in the future, you will naturally know, if you can't see it, there is no need to ask." ”
Meng Ran didn't hear the deep meaning of the words, he only thought that Lu Shen was playing tricks and deliberately saying some inappropriate words to confuse himself, so Shi Ran smiled at the moment and didn't take it to heart.
In the next few breaths, Lu Shen walked away as neatly as he came, without looking back. The red girl walking behind him glanced at Meng Ran deeply, her big and bright eyes full of frost.
Meng Ran's scalp was numb from this murderous look, and he looked at the already empty gate, thoughtful.
I don't know when, Li Haoran, who looked lazy, stood under the eaves and said, "Meng boy, why did you provoke that female doll?"
Meng Ran shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Li Haoran sneered: "I'm also a master, how could I have murderous thoughts about you kid, I really can't figure it out." ”
Meng Ran sighed and said helplessly: "Maybe people who have cultivated to a high level are all weird tempers, who knows what she is thinking." ”
Li Haoran picked his nostrils and scoffed at Meng Ran's groundless speculation.
Meng Ran glanced at the empty courtyard, and asked in a flat voice, "Senior, what kind of cultivation is that red girl?"
Li Haoran's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "More than nine grades." ”
Geng Huyuan, who had just stepped out of the door, answered: "Below the earth immortals." ”
Meng Ran was taken aback, and couldn't help asking, "How can there be such a strange cultivation, there is a lot of small realm between the Nine Grades and the Earth Immortal Realm, right?"
Li Haoran on the side muttered: "No wonder, no wonder..."
Geng Huyuan shook his head, saying that he didn't know either, but said expressionlessly: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on the Shenzhou Continent, it's not surprising that there is such a strange thing. ”
Meng Ran grinned bitterly, what is the matter, being remembered by such a great god, where will there be a good life in the future. But the masters are so unreasonable, where can they go to complain about grievances.
Li Haoran glanced at Meng Ran, who was browning, stretched his waist and said, "What are you afraid of?
The bitterness on Meng Ran's face was even stronger, and he said softly: "Can you not be afraid? If she wants to pinch me to death, it will be easier than pinching an ant to death." ”
Li Haoran sneered, "You're afraid of a fart, Brother Geng is definitely a sure winner against that red girl, you put your heart in your stomach." ”
Meng Ran sighed and said, "You can't follow me for the rest of your life. ”
Geng Huyuan took over the conversation and said calmly: "This is the truth, the knife in someone else's hand is someone else's after all, and there is always a time when it is not easy to use." So I'm going to teach you some unique tips before leaving, and as for your future achievements, it depends on your own efforts. ”
Meng Ran was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Where is Uncle Geng going?"
"The capital. ”
"What are you doing in the capital?"
"Visiting friends. The tone of Geng's voice is still unwavering.
Meng Ran breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "When are you leaving?"
"Leave after breaking the border. Geng Huyuan said nonchalantly, then turned around and went to the backyard, leaving an incomprehensible back.
Meng Ran looked at the back and asked Li Haoran on the side, "Senior, is Uncle Geng hiding anything from me?"
Li Haoran asked rhetorically, "Is this important?"
yes, does it matter?
It doesn't matter.
We all live our lives and always have to do something that seems stupid but has to do something.
If you blindly go with the flow, what is the difference between it and grass, trees and stones.
Maybe that's why people are human.
......
Until he got out of Nanhu Lane, Lu Shen still didn't hold an umbrella, but just let the fine autumn rain hit his hair bun, cheeks, and clothes.
Looking at Lu Shen who was acting like this, the red girl's expression was dark, her eyes were as cold as an arctic glacier, and her body was shrouded in a rich murderous aura.
Lu Shen shuddered involuntarily, then stopped, and looked calmly at his sister Red Girl, who was usually very respectful.
"You have murderous intent towards Meng Ran?"
The red girl didn't hide her emotions and nodded slightly.
"Why?" Lu Shen's voice raised slightly.
"Need a reason?"
Lu Shen pursed his lips tightly and said word by word, "Isn't it necessary?"
The red girl narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Just because you have a good impression of him, it is enough to make him die thousands of times." ”
Lu Shen's face turned pale, his body shook slightly, and he almost staggered back.
Some thoughts, if they are not exposed to the blue sky and white sun, can lie to themselves, saying that it is just friendship, saying that it is just a life-saving grace.
Once it is revealed, when we face our hearts, we are left with only panic and surprise.
He slowly turned around and looked towards the long-lost Linhu Meng Mansion, where there were people he wanted to see, and there were some unspeakable thoughts.
For Lu Shen's gaffe, the red girl became more and more annoyed, and even more murderous towards Meng Ran.
Lu Shenxu sensed the increasingly strong killing intent, gently reached out to hold the red girl's hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister Hong, let's go, please don't hurt Meng Ran, he is innocent." ”
"Innocent?" the red girl smiled coldly, and her cold voice sounded again, "Then aren't our Chen clan innocent?
Lu Shen sighed softly and said, "What does it have to do with him? ”
The red girl gave a deep salute to Lu Shen, and said expressionlessly: "If you don't care about the fate of the Chen family, and don't care about the lives of your parents, brothers, and relatives, you can return to Meng Ran's side now, and I will not stop you." ”
The corners of Lu Shen's mouth twitched slightly, and finally said softly: "Sister Hong, I promise you that I will never take the initiative to meet Meng Ran again in my lifetime, I just ask you to bypass his life." ”
The red girl was stunned for a moment, and said slowly, "Why bother?"
Lu Shen laughed inexplicably, and only after a long time did he stop and say, "I will be a popular sister and agree." ”
The red girl hummed softly, and there was no further text. She just sighed faintly in the depths of her heart, how could she not understand the mood of the girl Huaichun, and where could she not hear the loopholes in Lu Shen's words, but what could she do? Can she really kill Meng Ran? She can not care about other people's opinions, but she doesn't want Lu Shen to complain about her for the rest of her life.
The umbrella that had never been opened slowly opened, covering the heads of Lu Shen and the red girl, blocking the small raindrops and different emotions.
The two figures, one white and one red, gradually drifted away until they were covered by the rain curtain and disappeared.
There was a faint murderous aura in the cold and humid air, and there was a wisp of unspoken concern.
