"Since these are troubled times, of course, more people have no control over themselves. Maybe they lost their lives, maybe they came too late, it's all possible." Lu Yan frowned even more tightly, and gently wiped away the tears on Lin Jinrong's face with his sleeves:
"Where did you hear such a story?"
Lin Jinrong didn't answer, and just asked him: "Min Xing, what would you do if it were you?" Even if he knew that Lu Yan in this life was different from the Lu Yan in his previous life, he still didn't know what Lu Yan's state of mind was like in his previous life.
encounter; even with this answer, she had already known what kind of person Lu Ji was, and she had vaguely guessed it through countless thoughts and ponderings during the half year of separation from Lu Mian, but at this moment, she still wanted to
To know what he will do.
Why would he ask such a question? He didn't want such a tragic story, and he was not willing to use the two of them to fit into such a story. Lu Mian felt uncomfortable and helpless, so he refused to answer, but he saw that Lin Jinrong was particularly serious and expectant.
His eyes were somewhat soft-hearted for some reason, and he softened his voice and said: "If it were me, since I married her, even if I don't like her, I wouldn't do anything unbelievable, unjust, or worse than a beast."
In the twilight, Lu Yan's eyes were as dark as pearls, his expression was a bit doting and helpless, and his tone was soft and gentle. Lin Jinrong looked at him, and thousands of feelings were soaked in his heart one by one, and he wanted to say thousands of words in detail.
, after all, he just sighed softly and smiled at Lu Yan: "That's right, I think so too. It's just a matter of thin fate." This is a question that can never be answered, and it is also a question that can never be found.
The question of the truth is that no one knows what happened at that time, let alone verify it.
She lives in the present, and now he treats her very well. Mr. Shui once advised her to think of the best in everything. Mr. Zhu also said that life is just that, how can you be comfortable? Mr. Zhu has long since broken free.
She bought an acre of her own land and set her sights on the outside world. Although she was not as smart and capable as them, she could still do more meaningful things with her own strength instead of living in vain.
It died quietly, just like the gravel on the riverside, which was washed away by the water and no one remembered its appearance.
Lin Jinrong stretched out his hand to Lu Yan: "My shoes, socks and skirt are soaked through. It's really uncomfortable. Are yours wet?"
"Of course it's wet!" Seeing that she seemed to have regained her composure, Lu Yan breathed out gently, held her hand tightly, and pulled her back: "I don't know what you are thinking, but it's just
Other people’s stories are worth crying like this.”
Lin Jinrong looked down at the wet sand under his feet and smiled lightly. He would probably never know that this was not someone else's story.
Lu Yan looked at her several times from the side, but secretly kept her close and didn't mention it.
It's actually not that far from Jiangshen Temple to the pier. We arrived in a blink of an eye by horse-drawn carriage. The pier has long become a lively town, but there is only one big and good inn, which is where Lin Jinrong and others stayed.
Xixi Inn.
Under the system of the current dynasty, if an official moved his son to stay, the inn would have to set aside clean pillow mats and a first-class room for him, and the neighborhood guards would also have to be on guard at night. Therefore, as soon as Lu Mian and other talents entered the inn, they were personally arrested by the innkeeper.
He was sent to the second floor, where he inquired more earnestly, brought hot water and meals, and then left.
Lin Jinrong's shoes, socks and skirt were soaked by the cold water. She didn't realize it at the time, but now she felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked Yingtao to get a basin of hot water and sit behind the screen to slowly soak her feet. Lu Yan changed the toilet
With clean shoes and socks, he was sitting at the table drinking tea, waiting for Lin Jinrong to come out so that they could have dinner together.
The door was lightly knocked twice, and then Lu Liang came in and said: "Second Master, all the luggage has been sent to the ship and arranged neatly. We have also seen the ship. We can leave on time tomorrow morning. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"
Traveling is difficult, so of course you have to be extremely careful when you go out. Before going out, Mr. Lu once warned you not to be a hands-off shopkeeper and leave everything to the subordinates. It is a matter of your family and life, so you must not be lazy. Checking your luggage does not mean that you should be lazy.
You can rest assured about the safety of the ship only if you go to see it in person. Lu Yan said: "I'm going to go. I'll go and see it after dinner. Thank you for your hard work. Go down to eat first. I'll send someone to you later."
Call you."
Lu Liang agreed and stepped back without mentioning it.
Lin Jinrong thought for a while, hurriedly dried his feet, put on clean shoes and socks, walked out from behind the screen and said, "I want to go with you."
She had just enjoyed a cool breeze by the river and cried for no reason. How could Lu Yan take her there? He said, "You are in the dark and can't see anything clearly. What are you going to do? Why don't you take a rest and have a rest?"
After drinking the ginger soup, I lay down and started to sweat. Don’t get sick. We still have a long way to go.”
Lin Jinrong wanted to see the surrounding environment, so how could he let him arrange it? He had to plead in a low voice: "I don't want to be here, I just want to follow you for a walk. I just follow you and don't disturb you."
"
Lu Yan rubbed her hair with a gentle expression, but did not give in at all: "No. The cool night is no joke. If you are lonely, just ask Dou'er and the others to talk to you. I will be back soon."
Just eat."
Lin Jinrong couldn't be moved by his look, so he had to lower his head and eat silently without mentioning it.
Lu Yan suddenly said: "Why did you suddenly want to help that woman in Jiangshen Temple?"
Lin Jinrong was well prepared, so he repeated his previous remarks: "Do you need a reason to do good deeds and accumulate virtue? I liked her, felt sorry for her, and wanted to help her. But she didn't appreciate it."
Ordinary people want to do good deeds, and they only reach out if they are willing to accept them. How could you see her like this? People are obviously unwilling, but she is still trying to persuade them, trying every possible means, to help them? And as soon as she opens her mouth, she grants people their wishes? Lu Yan
After looking at Lin Jinrong for a few times, he saw that her expression was calm and composed, and there was nothing wrong with her. He put a piece of fish meat in her bowl and said, "It depends on fate when helping people. She is too scared to accept you."
It’s because of her good intentions that she didn’t have the chance.”
"That's right." Lin Jinrong nodded and didn't say much about the matter. There is always a chance. If nothing unexpected happens, she will come back here again in more than a year, and maybe Jingu will need her help then.
uncertain.
Shao Qing, the two of them had finished their meal, rinsed their mouths, called the shopkeeper to clear away the dishes, and went down. Lu Yan watched Lin Jinrong drink the ginger soup, told Dou'er and Yingtao to look after them carefully, and took his own people out to inspect the ship.
And luggage.
The ship was a large river ship with a load of two thousand hu, with a mast height of five feet and six feet, twenty-six sails, and eight oars. It was wide, large, and stable, and the boatman was also very capable and skilled. Lu Yan was very good at it.
Satisfied, after careful inspection, I left the boatman safely and went back to the store.
Halfway through the journey, I suddenly saw someone running towards me, shouting: "You are cheating, you are cheating!"
Immediately afterwards, a young boy didn't know the direction and rushed towards the group of them. Seeing that he was about to bump into Lu Yan, Lu Liang and Changshou stepped forward, stopped him, and scolded: "You are not long-term."
Eyes? Didn’t you see anyone here? You bumped into my master, it’s so hard for you.”
The man used the lantern to see the faces of his group clearly, took a step back, grabbed Lu Liang's arm in panic and said, "I was really frightened. There was a person in front of me who was clearly dead, but suddenly he came back to life..."
…”
Before he finished speaking, Lu Liang waved his hand away and interrupted him sharply: "Hey! Who wants to listen to your nonsense? Get out of the way!" At the dock, there was a mixture of fish and dragons, and there were more liars and liars.
Thief specializes in defrauding travelers who have never traveled far and have considerable assets. This man ran out in the dark and bumped into Lu Yan. How could such a coincidence happen? He must not be a kind person. Only
He was afraid that Lu Yan would suffer a big loss if he coaxed him to find out what happened, so of course he was not allowed to continue talking.
Although Lu Yan was not interested in what the man said about scamming corpses, he had no intention of causing any more trouble, so he stopped Lu Liang: "Forget it, we didn't run into each other. Let's go." After saying this, he took the first step and took the initiative.
Went.
Lu Liang and Changshou quickly followed, keeping Lu Yan firmly in the middle, and surrounded him as he walked forward. After walking about ten steps, Lu Liang looked back, but saw a vague shadow standing there.
Then he spat: "It's really not a good thing! You're so frightened that you don't run away for your life, and you're still standing there? When I was traveling around doing business with Manager Fan, I saw a lot of different tricks.
Yes. This person just wanted to steal something or deceive someone."
Lu Yan smiled and said in a low voice: "When I'm away from home, I rely on everyone's savvy to help each other. If you get to the ground safely, you will be rewarded heavily."
In a word, both Changshou and Lu Liang were very happy, and they served them more and more cautiously. After a while, when they arrived in front of the inn, they saw a group of people gathered in front of the inn from a distance. The noise was loud and the owner was screaming.
The most pointed one: "It's bad luck. If an official comes, all guests must bear witness to the little old man. He is not a guest in the little old man's shop, and his life and death have nothing to do with the little old man."
Could it be that the fake corpse that the young man mentioned just now has something to do with this? Lu Yan couldn't help but stop and called Changshou: "Go and see what's going on."
Changshou also liked to watch the excitement, so he immediately pushed through the crowd to get a closer look, inquired about the news from the people watching the excitement, and reported to Lu Yan: "It's a man who crawled out from nowhere, climbed to the door of this shop, and shouted
He died immediately. The shop owner was afraid that he would die here, so he asked his waiters to give him water, but the waiters thought he was dirty and smelly, and were afraid of bad luck, so they refused to do anything." He gestured, "There is such a big gash on his chest.
, they are all covered with pus and maggots, and I don’t know if they are still alive.”
Lu Yan couldn't help but frown: "Could it be that he was a merchant who was robbed by a strongman?" He was young and brave, and had just entered the official career. He asked himself that he could not stand by and watch this kind of thing, so he wanted to go and see what happened. The shopkeeper also wanted to see what happened.
Looking for him to make the decision, when he saw him coming, he hurriedly invited him over: "Please, Mr. Lu, please make the decision for me."
A man was lying flat on the straw. The color of his clothes was no longer visible. There was a large, hideous gash on his chest that had long been fester and smelled bad. Lu Yan frowned, and Ming Changshou picked a lantern to shine on the man's face.
He looked at his face, but saw another burn on his forehead. When he looked at his eyebrows again, he couldn't help but be shocked.
