White smoke rises from the aromatherapy stove, and a delicate fragrance lingers in the entire ear room.
Lin Wanwan was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, with one leg crossed and the other hanging down.
Patriarch Lin had already left. Regardless of whether he believed Lin Wanwan's words about returning to her master's retreat in the mountains, he would not ask any more questions.
It is the most fortunate thing that Lin Wanwan, who has been missing for ten months, can reappear in Linjiazhuang intact.
For Ms. Lin, Lin Wanwan is everyone's ladder to the upper class. Everyone has the same interests, so whatever she does is right.
As for Ba Yefeng, he already knew about Lin Wanwan's mystery, and he returned calmly to her mysterious disappearance without any fluctuation.
Since I promised to protect him for ten years, it means ten years, not even one less day.
He just silently handed the various accounts of the base's income and expenditure during this period to Lin Wanwan for inspection, and was responsible for answering questions when the other party had questions.
Housekeeper Yun Shang, first-class maid Ji Yue, Yun Cai and others also silently presented the account books from this period, as well as the account books sent by Chang'an, for Lin Wanwan to check.
Lin Wanwan just flipped through it roughly and had no time to check it carefully.
Now she knew why everyone was staying at home and only Kunlun looked like a savage.
Because on the day she left, Lin Wanwan took Kunlun into the mountain with her.
As usual, Lin Wanwan told him to wait in the bamboo forest.
But that day, Kunlun never waited for Lin Wanwan's return, so he never left the bamboo forest.
The stubborn Kunlun slave believed that sooner or later his master would come out of the depths of the mountains and forests as usual.
Lin Wanwan was naturally very moved by Kunlun's loyalty, and now she ordered him to go down and take a good rest.
Hair needs to be cut, beards need to be shaved, fleas need to be removed, bathes need to be brushed, and other things need to be busy.
Xiao Qingyu has also been able to report to Lin Wanwan in a coherent manner what happened at home after she left.
Two days after Lin Wanwan disappeared, everyone in Linjiazhuang and Linzhai, including all the branches of the armed base that Bayefeng was responsible for, almost turned over the mountain, but no trace of her was found.
Someone suggested reporting to the official, but Patriarch Lin suppressed it.
If a lord of the same rank is missing, there is no problem in searching for him with great fanfare, and reporting to the official is also appropriate.
But now that the missing person is a village gentleman, he has to worry about his reputation.
Patriarch Lin did not want Lin Wanwan to come back one day and find that she was already dead.
The entire Lin Family Village, including all Lin Wanwan's slaves, could not be found in the mountains. Patriarch Lin did not believe that reporting to the official was of much use.
Lin Wanwan is missing, but others still have to take care of their lives.
Her slaves and clan members are still searching for her in the mountains every day, while most people continue their daily lives.
There can be no chaos in Linjiazhuang, even if the Lin Mansion has strong suppression.
Lin Wanwan's rear base camp did not fall apart because of her disappearance.
Facts have proved that the world can continue to function without anyone.
Just like a mature large company, daily operations will not be affected if the boss does not show up.
The only uncontrollable person in this situation is Xiao Yixun. She doesn't care about the stability of the Lin Mansion or the life and death of other people in the Lin Family Village. She only knows that Lin Wanwan has disappeared inexplicably, and she must find it.
Reputation or not is not as important as living people.
She can't find it by herself, nor can the hawks and dogs, so she needs help from more powerful people.
Xiao Chong immediately asked for sick leave after receiving the letter, and then rushed non-stop from Chang'an to Luan County with his trusted followers, changing horses three times along the way, non-stop day and night, and arrived the next day.
After arriving at Linjiazhuang, Xiao Chong talked with Lin Wanwan's personal maid, Ba Yefeng, Patriarch Lin and others one by one to inquire about the situation. Then he led people into the mountain, met Kunlun, barely communicated through body language, and then continued to search the mountain.
.
However, all these efforts are in vain. Finding people in the mountains is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Even if Xiao Chong has super investigative capabilities and footprint identification technology, nature will hide all traces.
Xiao Chong found the cave that Lin Wanwan traveled through, and found something inside. After coming out, his cronies found that he had become much calmer.
"How is it?" Xiao Yixun, who was hiding in the power fence, asked him.
Although he doesn't like Xiao Chong, Xiao Yixun still has no doubts about his ability.
"She left."
"Leaved?" Xiao Yixun's tone was cold, and he held his hands tightly in his sleeves, with a rage that would destroy the world in the next second, "You mean she is dead?"
Xiao Chong was silent for a moment and then said: "No. Maybe she just went back to where she came from."
Xiao Yixun frowned, not understanding what this meant.
However, Xiao Chong didn't explain much and walked a long way here and then a long way away.
Xiao Yixun had no choice but to wait boredly in the Lin Mansion.
Lin Wanwan heard about the process of Xiao Chong looking for her, and knew that the other party must have guessed that she had traveled through time.
After all, Xiao Chong had seen her travel through time and space and fall from the sky with his own eyes.
"You all go down. Xiao Qingyu, you also go to school. I'm tired. I need to rest for a while."
"Here."
Everyone dispersed, and Lin Wanwan went upstairs to her room, fastened the doors and windows, opened the space-time door and returned to the present day.
The modern night was already very late, and Lu Shouyue, who had been sitting on the sofa in the master bedroom reading a book, didn't sleep at all.
His wife didn't come back, how could he feel sleepy?
As soon as Lin Wanwan passed through the time and space gate, she almost bumped into Lu Shouyue's chest.
He reached out and hugged her waist and said, "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Lin Wanwan explained: "It's not that I stayed in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, but it's because the time and space gate has degraded. Although there is a time difference between the two worlds now, the flow rate of time is the same. It is not four times as different as before."
"That's it." Lu Shouyue nodded lightly.
He has funded many laboratories that study black holes, space-time and other topics, but so far there has been no satisfactory progress, and he is very helpless.
Lin Wanwan stretched out her hand to push him: "Let me go quickly, I'm very swollen, I need to feed the baby."
This is one of the reasons why Lin Wanwan is eager to travel back to modern times.
Although Lu Shouyu hired a wet nurse to stay with the baby overnight, Lin Wanwan herself had enough food.
Lu Shouyue held her tightly and whispered something in her ear, which made Lin Wanwan couldn't help but glare at him: "How can you say it?"
Lu Shouyue picked her up, fell into the big bed together, smiled and said some words that were indescribable and would be lost in harmony.
The two of them had been abstinent for more than ten months. They clearly didn't think about what was going to happen tonight before they traveled through time.
But after being separated, both of them started to feel turbulent inside. As soon as the blanket was covered, all dignity was gone, leaving only the most primitive happiness.
