After coming out of the prison, even if I changed into clean clothes, I still couldn't cover up the strong odor on my body, which was also mixed with a bit of rancid smell.
It was more than half a month before and after being imprisoned. During this period, Ling Yun did not clean himself at all. His body was muddy and dirty, his hair was unkempt, and he was simply unsightly.
Thanks to the help of the young eunuch, who got him some water and specially prepared a set of clean clothes for him, he was able to come out decently.
Otherwise, the whole body will be in rags, the face will be dusty, the front of the shoes will be stained with matted hair, there will be mosquitoes and flies swirling on them, and the smell will be overwhelming...
The moment he came out, the fresh air was inhaled into his nostrils. He couldn't hold it back. He looked up to the sky and took a big breath in and out. At this moment, all the gloom disappeared. His whole body felt refreshed, and the string that was pressing on his heart was finally let go.
When he came out of Tianyao, he didn't carry any silver with him. After thinking about it, in order to prevent the Ling family from being suspicious and to reassure Li Chengyou, Ling Yun decided to go to Li's Mansion first and then go home.
Walking on the familiar road, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. Looking back towards the depths of the palace, Ling Yun buried this hatred in his heart. One day, he would take revenge!
Ling Yun did not go through the front door, but the back door. When the door opened, he found that the person who opened the door was a strange boy. He had never seen this person before. He thought it was a servant who came in after he moved out.
Seeing his reaction, the man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he looked even more confused and said, "You...who are you looking for?"
Ling Yun did not show off and replied directly, "I am Ling Yun, coming to see the master."
Perhaps because of the stench emanating from Ling Yun's body, the boy in front of him covered his nose with one hand and fanned his nose with the other, with a trace of imperceptible contempt flashing in his eyes.
When Ling Yun reported his name this time, no one came out to greet him like before. In addition, the young man in front of him didn't recognize him. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult to enter the Li Mansion.
Sure enough, when the boy heard his answer, he did not choose to let him go or go in to report. Instead, he asked, "Are you here to look for the master? Where is your master here? Are you looking in the wrong place?"
Ling Yun was naturally aware of his current situation, so he didn't pay attention to the reaction of the boy in front of him. Instead, he patiently said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know me. Just go in and tell Ling Yun that he wants to see me."
I guarantee you that as long as Mr. Li hears the announcement, you will definitely be rewarded."
When he heard the word "reward", the boy's appearance suddenly changed. His eyes shone with desire, and then he couldn't help but swallowed, and confirmed with wide eyes, "Really?"
He thought that after all he was a young man, and he could be deceived by just one word. In fact, it was not deceitful. As long as he went in and told him that he wanted to see him, he would definitely be rewarded by his cheap master, even his master's wife.
So he smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It's absolutely true, I can tell you that meeting me is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it hadn't been for some encounters before, how could I have used the back door, so you have to seize the opportunity."
Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, Ling Yun continued, "Don't you understand that time never comes and opportunities cannot be missed?"
Now, the boy couldn't sit still anymore.
He looked at Ling Yun solemnly, then looked back, not knowing what he was looking at. When he turned back again, he suddenly changed his mind, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, "You...you wait here.
Wait, I’ll be back as soon as I go.”
Hearing this, Ling Yun smiled and nodded.
After a while, Ling Yun, who was standing at the door, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from inside, and then the door was opened again.
I originally thought that the person who opened the door was someone from the Li family or an acquaintance, but I didn't expect that it was the young boy just now. I couldn't help but wonder, didn't this person go in and pass the message?
Otherwise, why would it be him again?
Just when he felt confused, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Ling Yun looked around and realized that the person coming was Uncle Lai.
Seeing the visitor, Ling Yun immediately said, "Uncle Lai, why are you here?"
Uncle Lai looked up and was stunned for a moment. He said in disbelief, "Yun...Master Yun, it's really you!"
As he spoke, he quickly crossed the threshold and came to his side in an instant. Without saying a word, he held his hand tightly and said with a particularly excited expression, "Master Yun, quickly... come into the house quickly, master, madam, and miss."
I miss you so much."
Hearing Uncle Lai's words, Ling Yun's heart warmed up, and then he thought that he felt a little stinky, so he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Lai, are master, master, and sister Shuyu in the house?"
"Master Huiyun, the master, his wife, and the young lady are all here. Come in quickly. I will send someone to inform you."
After Lai Bo's explanation, I found out that the boy came back so quickly because he met Lai Bo on the way.
Just now, the boy hurriedly ran in and wanted to go to Li Chengyou's yard to make a call. But what happened was that he ran too fast and didn't notice anyone coming, so he accidentally bumped into Uncle Lai.
Fortunately, Uncle Lai reacted quickly and escaped. Otherwise, he would have been knocked to the ground by the boy. His old body and bones would have been too much to bear.
Uncle Lai stabilized his body, scolded the boy, and then asked him why he was so frizzy. The latter directly told Ling Yun that he was asking for a meeting.
When Uncle Lai heard that Ling Yun was asking for an audience, he did not believe what he said.
Uncle Lai thought the young man was looking for fun and wanted to scold him loudly, but he noticed that the young man looked sincere and did not seem to be lying, so he followed him to confirm whether what the young man said was true or false.
This time, he actually got to see Ke Lingyun, which was an unexpected surprise.
Thinking of his own situation, Ling Yun did not agree with Lai Bo's suggestion, and thought about washing up, changing into suitable clothes, and then going to meet Li Chengyou.
So he stopped me and said, "Wait a minute, Uncle Lai. Don't tell Master and Master. Let me clean up first, and then take the initiative to meet Master and Master."
Uncle Lai was stunned for a moment. Only then did he notice the smell on Ling Yun's body. He frowned slightly and did not ask why he smelled like this. Instead, he nodded and agreed to his proposal.
Then he glanced at the boy next to him and said loudly, "Xiaonan, what are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and get Master Yun in?"
The young boy named Xiaonan was still immersed in shock and had not recovered for a long time. He never expected that the person in front of him was actually a disciple of his master as he said. This made him dumbfounded.
.
With Uncle Lai's sudden loud shout, he suddenly came back to his senses, and with an uneasy heart, he trembled, "Ah~oh, Yun...Master Yun, please come in quickly."
