Liao Fan hurriedly returned to Liaojia Village, and at this time, the door had been surrounded by the villagers for three floors inside and three layers outside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he entered the room, he saw his mother squatting in the corner wiping her tears, and her father leaning on the bed with a helpless expression, Liao Fan's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Liao Fan gently helped his mother up and said softly.

Seeing her son come back, Yulan's originally sad tears were even more, and she suddenly threw herself into Liao Fan's arms and sobbed in pain, and after a while, she gradually regained some calm, and then she spoke: "When I was boiling the medicine just now, I found that the wooden box that was originally placed on the cabinet was gone. It's all my fault, I didn't keep it well. ”

Hearing this, Liao Fan frowned, glanced at the cabinet, and wondered in his heart, could it be that this thing would slip away by itself? Then he rejected his ridiculous speculation, the only possibility was that there was a guest at home, and he took the sheep to steal the thousand-year-old water lotus.

"Mother, who in the family has visited my father today?" asked Liao Fan softly.

Yulan was slightly stunned, pondered for a while, looked at her son in astonishment, and said in disbelief: "Uncle Liao Baisheng from the same village and his son Liao Shan have been here. ”

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Liao Fan took a deep breath, and there was a solemn look on his cheeks, and then he said, "It seems that the problem lies with the two of them." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yulan's body trembled, this matter was not trivial, and she was uneasy in her heart, after all, they were all from Liaojia Village, and there was no evidence, if she wronged others, how would she face her father and fellow villagers in the future.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't mess around, the thousand-year-old water lotus is related to my father's physical recovery, and I will handle this matter carefully. Liao Fan guessed what his mother was worried about and hurriedly explained.

"They are all from the same village, and they must leave room for everything. On the bed, Liao Yunan said.

Turning his head to look at his father's worried look, Liao Fan nodded, he could feel his father's helplessness and loneliness, if the matter was true, Liao Baisheng and his son would definitely be scolded and despised by their fellow villagers, so that his father's psychology would be cast a lingering shadow, as if he was an executioner who personally sent them to the guillotine.

Liao Fan opened the door, glanced at the curious expressions of the villagers, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said: "Thank you for your concern, the medicinal materials were not lost, but I put them away, and I forgot to tell my mother when I left, so I am very sorry that everyone is worried about it." ”

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no one wanted to see the theft happen in the village, after all, it was not a glorious thing.

......

In the evening, Liao Fan took advantage of the night to sneak into Uncle Liao Baisheng's courtyard, which was not too far from his home.

came to the window, gently poked a transparent hole, and through the faint candle flame in the room, his eyes fell on Liao Baisheng and his wife.

Squinting his eyes slightly, standing by the window for half an hour, Liao Baisheng and his wife talked very casually, saying some short things in the parents, and they couldn't see any expression of doing bad things from their words and demeanors, which made them wonder, could it be that they misunderstood others.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hospital, Liao Fan was startled, and hurriedly hid, and after a short time, Liao Shan hummed a little song and happily returned home.

Liao Fan and Liao Shan have never had any dealings with each other, so they don't know much about this person, and Liao Shan doesn't seem to disdain to associate with the teenagers in the same village, but has a very close relationship with several teenagers in Mengjia Village and Luojia Village, and this incident also made the teenagers in Liaojia Village gradually alienate Liao Shan.

Seeing Liao Shan come to the door of his room, he looked around and around before entering the room, which made Liao Fan, who was hiding in the corner, suspicious.

Liao Shan, who entered the room, came to the table, picked up the water cup and drank it, then sat on the chair with an excited look on his face, reached out and took out a thick stack of golden tickets.

At this time, Liao Shan's eyes showed greed, slowly counted the golden tickets, happily took the golden tickets to his mouth from time to time and kissed them, and kept chattering: "Menghao, this kid seems to be quite righteous, it is not in vain that I will be afraid to sell it to him, and I will be a rich man in the future, and I will no longer have to be angry with the people in the village." ”

Outside the window, Liao Fan's breathing became heavy, his hands couldn't help but clench together, his eyes became extremely cold, and the scene in front of him was enough to prove that what he expected was good, and only the thousand-year-old water lotus could be exchanged for so many golden tickets.

Liao Fan was just about to break open the door and rush in, then remembered what his parents had entrusted, hesitated slightly in his heart, and pressed down with anger, the most important thing now is to take the thousand-year-old water lotus back, not when Xingshi asks for guilt, according to Liao Shan, the thousand-year-old water lotus should be sold to a guy named Menghao, after thinking about it, he decided not to startle the snake, everything will be solved tomorrow, thinking of this, he quietly left the courtyard and returned home.

In the early morning of the next day, Liao Fan left Liaojia Village early and came to Mengjia Village, which was more than ten miles away.

This is not a stranger to me, because Mengdie, who has been married since childhood, is a person from Mengjia Village, and after thinking about it, in order to grasp the situation faster, I had to go to Mengdie first to ask for clarification.

Walking on the streets of the village, he can detect curious eyes from time to time, which makes Liao Fan a little unnatural, after all, when he comes to other villages at his age, he doesn't care about two things, one is that he is very good with the young man in this village and often interacts with each other. The other thing is that the girl from who's family in the picture came to please.

Obviously, everyone in Mengjia Village put this slightly unfamiliar teenager on the second thing, and when they saw Liao Fan coming to the door of Mengdie's house, they all covered their mouths and snickered.

"Knock Knock ......"

"Who?"

"It's me, Liao Fan. ”

The door opened, and a burly middle-aged man came into view.

"Fan'er, why are you here?" The middle-aged man was overjoyed and hurriedly let him into the house, obviously no stranger to Liao Fan.

Scratching his head, Liao Fan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Third Uncle Meng, I have something to do with Mengdie." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, looked at Liao Fan in astonishment for a long time, then laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Liao Fan and said, "The stinky boy has finally opened his mind." ”

Liao Fan stood in place with a flushed face, he didn't know what to do, he was so anxious that he didn't prepare a gift when he came, and he came to the house empty-handed, which made him a little embarrassed, fortunately, Uncle Meng was a simple person, and he didn't care about trivial things, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to get off the stage.

Seeing that Liao Fan's expression was a little embarrassed, he smiled knowingly, and then said: "You wait, I'll go and call Mengdie out, don't leave at night, let's get together as a family." ”
