Xu Ran was stunned, he didn't expect to have unexpected gains, he immediately ate the noodles, forgetting the image, eating quickly, Lu Yuxuan looked down at his wife, his eyes were full of doting, he poured a glass for Xu Ran Water, said: "Eat slowly."

Xu Ran stuffed his mouth full, took a big gulp after receiving the water, the female boss couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "You guys go first if you have something to do." After that, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, "I and You met by chance, but you did me such a big favor, just give me a call if you need me in the future."

Lu Yuxuan took it for Xu Ran, nodded slightly and said, "It's not worth mentioning, we don't bother you if we still have something to do."

Xu Ran wiped his mouth, then answered, "Remember to protect yourself well."

The female boss's eyes were red from being touched by the couple, and after watching them leave, she also went to clean up the mess in the cafe.

It was the sweltering summer, the sun was hot outside, and the people in the sun were in a hurry. Xu Ran and Lu Yuxuan quickened their pace and followed the route the female boss said. They turned left and entered a small alley. I don't know if it was because of the terrain. The sunlight here can only shine in a small part, and the rest is blocked by buildings and big trees. When it comes in suddenly, the temperature difference is really uncomfortable.

This small alley is surprisingly quiet, with the only sound of cicadas in his ears. Xu Ran looked around vigilantly, and found that there are very few residents here, most of them are abandoned houses, but this alley is not. I know how long it is, but I can't see the end at a glance.

Xu Ran panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down. They walked forward very cautiously, and they reached the end in a short time. At the same time, they saw a house full of Feng Shui. This house looked quite big, at least the gate looked It was very grand, and the vermilion door added a bit of solemnity. Xu Ran and Lu Yuxuan looked at each other, and then they lifted their feet and knocked on the door together.

It was very suspicious that the house was located in this bottomless alley, and the feng shui filled Xu Ran's heart. Of course, he couldn't rule out other, small probability possibilities.

Lu Yuxuan knocked on the door three times, but there was no movement inside. The door was tightly glued together, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Lu Yuxuan knocked on the door three more times.

There was still no movement inside, until Lu Yuxuan was about to knock on the door again, and there was a hoarse voice: "Here it is, who is it?"

He opened the door cautiously, and the distance to the door was just blocked by his figure. This man has mischievous eyebrows, is as thin as a monkey, but his eyes are shrewd. Xu Ran sized him up. This man is about 60 years old. The sparse hair on his head couldn't hide the shiny top of his head, so he just stayed on it like this. The three of them looked at each other face to face for a while, and then the old man said sullenly: "Who are you looking for?"

Lu Yuxuan showed a smile and was organizing his words when he saw the old man's complexion changed slightly, and he was about to close the door without saying a word. Lu Yuxuan, who saw the movement, was the first to step against the door frame, and he said: "I haven't said anything yet, closing the door in such a hurry what."

The old man looked at Lu Yuxuan, still not saying a word, just staring at the two of them with his shrewd eyes, feeling a faint sense of oppression, Lu Yuxuan coughed twice, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence for a while.

After a while, Xu Ran quickly discovered that most of the old man's attention was on her, and he looked at her with unfriendly eyes, and he didn't shy away from it.

Xu Ran felt uncomfortable when he looked at him, so he could only ask, "What's wrong?"

The old man withdrew his gaze, as if the language system had been shut down, except for the first two sentences, he never made a sound.

Lu Yuxuan didn't want to waste any more time, so he opened the skylight and said bluntly: "There is a charlatan here, do you know where it is?"

The old man slowly raised his eyes, stared at the two for a few seconds, and shook his head perfunctorily: "I don't know."

Xu Ran frowned slightly, feeling strange in her heart, this old man was mysterious, and he didn't look like someone who was about to die—it just looked a little weird, she pursed her lips, and belatedly realized when the sun was killed The clouds covered it, and even the wind became cooler than before.

After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door, when his figure turned slightly, Xu Ran quickly looked in the crack - there were some charlatan's things in the yard, Xu Ran immediately pinched Lu Yuxuan's Finger, Lu Yuxuan received the signal and suddenly slammed forward, the old man's pupils trembled, and his expression was unbelievable.

He never expected that the two people in front of him would play tricks, and it was too late to say anything at this moment—the entire courtyard was exposed in the sight of Xu Ran and Lu Yuxuan.

This old man is a charlatan!

Xu Ran looked around, a panic flashed on the old man's face, but it was quickly hidden by the face full of wrinkles and grooves.

Xu Ran was not in a hurry, as if deliberately teasing the old man, with a faint smile on her lips, she paced slowly, looking through it from time to time.

The old man said angrily: "Get out quickly! If you come in without my consent, it's illegal to enter a private house!"

Lu Yuxuan sneered when he heard this, took out his phone and said, "Do you want me to call the police for you?"

The old man was out of breath, the veins on his neck were bulging, his face was flushed, and he didn't say anything for a long time. If the police really came, he wouldn't be able to walk around.

Xu Ran walked to the middle of the main hall, where there was a stack of books, and there was a simple white bookshelf next to it, which looked a bit old, and the books on display were all dazzling magazine novels, Xu Ran did not let this place go, She squatted down slowly, and rummaged patiently. There was a layer of dust on the book, and she hadn't flipped through it for a long time.

The old man was like a light on his back, he hurried forward and said: "These are ordinary books, you...you! Don't bully people too much!"

Xu Ran didn't raise his head, and said slowly: "I'll just take a look, and I'll pack it up for you later."

It didn't take long for Xu Ran to pull out a book from the bottom. She flipped through it briefly, and said with a hidden smile, "This is the book from Xuansheng Academy, right?"

The old man trembled and kept his mouth shut.

The smile on Xu Ran's face disappeared, and his tone became a bit harsh: "Where did this book come from?!"

The old man remained silent, like a criminal who refused to obey.

Xu Ran looked at him, saw that he didn't respond, and smiled suddenly——the old man realized that something was wrong with the wind, and immediately looked up, only to see a yellow light radiating from Xu Ran's hands, she was casting a spell!

The old man's face changed drastically, and he said, "I said! I said it's okay?"

The light around Xu Ran's hand gradually weakened, so she could stare at the old man in her free time and said, "Say what you know."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then said: "I picked it up on the bench next to the trash can. I'm a lonely old man and I have nothing to do when I'm free, so I picked it up when no one was looking because I was curious." He looked at Xu Ran , and continued, "I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but I found out after cleaning up the house, and then I started to study by myself."
