The long road to immortality is missing you

"Young master, let's buy a flower."

Xi Yuan and Lan Jian were walking on the street when a little girl in pink walked up to them.She wears two braids and carries a flower basket. She is thin and small, her skin is as white as snow, and her long eyelashes are fluttering. There is also some slight redness.

"Hey, this little girl looks really good. But, looking at her clothes, she doesn't look like a child of a poor family. I don't know why she sells flowers on the street?" Xi Yuan looked at the little girl in pink, a little puzzled.

His gaze shifted to the basket in the hand of the little girl in pink, and he saw that it was neatly filled with colorful flower branches, and the petals were still stained with dew, all of them were very bright.

However, Xi Yuan has always been not interested in these flowers and plants, so he just glanced at them lightly, and then moved his eyes away.

The little girl in pink saw that the two of them hadn't stopped walking, her face was anxious, she gritted her teeth and thought for a moment, then stepped forward with her short legs, and said: "These flowers and branches were just picked this morning, they can be used as both ornamental and medicinal." , combined with different herbs, it can cure all kinds of diseases. The price is also very cost-effective, you two can buy a few."

Hearing this, Xi Yuan stopped, turned around and asked, "little sister, how do you sell these flowers?"

"Ten cents a piece." The little girl looked expectant, "This pink one is the Four Seasons Begonia, the most suitable for medicine..."

Xi Yuan glanced at Lan Jian, but the latter's eyes were firmly locked on a sugar shop by the roadside, thoughtful.

"Master?" the little girl in pink called out softly when she saw that Xi Yuan hadn't answered for a long time.

Xi Yuan hurriedly came to his senses, he just asked casually just now, and didn't think much about buying it.At this moment, I saw that the little girl's eyes were shining with stars, and her face was filled with anticipation, and she also specially introduced a bunch of them to herself just now. How sad.

Thinking of this, Xi Yuan just wanted to take some money out of his pocket, buy a few random flowers, and take care of the little girl's business.But seeing the little girl's eyes move behind him, her whole body froze suddenly, her hand holding the flower basket trembled uncontrollably, she almost turned around and ran away.

Xi Yuan was surprised, and just about to look back, a slightly familiar voice came from behind.

"Yo, it turns out that the eldest lady is here, but it's easy for the old slave to find—"

Xi Yuan turned around, and saw a dozen or so people standing seven or eight steps away behind him, the head of the man was slightly hunchbacked, with gray hair, it was the little boy in yellow that Xi Yuan had met a few hours ago, Lin Guangde. The old slave beside him is Lin Chao, the old butler of the Lin Mansion.

"Why is this person here again?" When Xi Yuan saw this person, his head hurt.

"No, what does the old man call this little girl in pink? Missy? Could it be..."

Xi Yuan's whole body froze, the answer couldn't be more obvious, the little girl in pink was Lin Jinchu.

He glanced back at Lin Jinchu, who was trembling, and then at Lan Jian, who turned his back to him. The latter obviously didn't pay attention to this, but just looked at the old sugar maker beside the road with interest.

"What's the situation? The scene where the hero and heroine meet shouldn't be like this! Lan Jian, you don't even look at her, Lin Jinchu obviously needs you right now! You forgot how you promised me in Cyphilia Town Is it?" Xi Yuan sighed inwardly, and asked the sky speechlessly.

"Miss, are you still going back home? Then don't blame the old slave for being rude—" Lin Chao waited on the spot for a while, a little impatient, and looked at Lin Jinchu with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.He didn't recognize Xi Yuan who had changed his clothes, he just turned his head and made a gesture with his hand, and everyone rushed towards Lin Jinchu in unison.

Lin Jinchu's small face lost all color in an instant, his hand shook, and the flower basket fell to the ground with a "bang", and the petals in the basket fell to the ground.

Lin Jinchu also had no time to pick it up, so he cast his eyes on Xi Yuan for help, and subconsciously wanted to run away.

"Damn it, how can this work? I can't stand a group of old men bullying such a little girl, and even domestic slaves bullying their master!" The more Xi Yuan thought about it, the more indignant she became.

Although he knew that the girl in pink in front of him was Lin Jinchu, he was very unwilling to have anything to do with her.But now, the other party is just a defenseless little girl, and now she is just helping out casually, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking of this, Xi Yuan gave her a gentle look, took a step forward, protected her behind him, and said loudly: "Everyone stop! Listen to me—"

Hearing this, Lin Chao narrowed his eyes, and looked at the meddling guy who suddenly popped up in front of him. After a while, he finally recognized Xi Yuan, and a trace of anger flashed between his brows.

"It's you, I can't tell, you can run quite well. I haven't settled the account with you a few hours ago. Why, do you want to meddle in your own business?"

"Don't dare, as for me, I just can't stand it any longer. In broad daylight, a group of men bullied a defenseless little girl, and even committed the crime above. The house slaves have bullied the master. This is the way of the world." !" Xi Yuan shook his head, sighed softly, pretending to be a young man, and Lin Jinchu behind him was amused to laugh out loud.

Lan Jian, who had been silent all this time, finally turned around when she heard Xi Yuan's words, and looked at Xi Yuan as if watching a good show.

"You—" Lin Chao was startled and angry, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, "bully the eldest lady? This old slave really dare not. The eldest lady left the Lin residence for several hours without saying a word. I was really worried, so I ordered the old slave to come out and bring back the eldest lady."

"Ma'am? Could it be Lin Jinchu's stepmother?" Xi Yuan suddenly had a headache again.

Speaking of this episode, I have to talk about Lin Jinchu's stepmother.Lin Jinchu's mother was the daughter of a wealthy family in Wuzhou City, and she was originally in the same household as Lin Jinchu's father, Lin Changzhi.But after she married into the Lin family, her family fortune gradually declined, and she became bedridden gradually. She died just after giving birth to Lin Jinchu.

Lin Jinchu has lost her mother since she was born. Although she is the eldest daughter, her father doesn't even like her because she doesn't like her mother.Therefore, Lin Jinchu has been bullied and looked down upon since she was a child.

Not long after Lin Jinchu's mother passed away, Lin Changzhi brought back a beautiful woman from outside. At the same time, the woman was pregnant when she first entered the door. She took the position of the head of the Lin family.In front of outsiders, she always looks like a gentle mistress, but behind her back, she has used countless tricks to torture a good little girl inhumanely.

Thinking of this, Xi Yuan felt full of sympathy for Lin Jinchu, and he didn't look at Lin Chao who was aggressively waiting to lead someone, so he dragged Lin Jinchu to Lan Jian's side.

"Lan Jian, I have a task for you. You will protect her in a while." Xi Yuan whispered to Lan Jian, and put Lin Jinchu's hand in Lan Jian's.

Lan Jian was slightly taken aback, but nodded in response, but pulled out her hand.

Lin Jinchu was also a little embarrassed, and hung his hand neatly by his side.

Xi Yuan tilted his head to look at the two who didn't cooperate with him at all, shook his head, and had to give up.

"Go back and report to Madam, and say that the eldest lady has been kidnapped by an unknown person." Lin Chao looked in the direction of the three with complicated eyes, and whispered to one of his subordinates.

Xi Yuan has been paying attention to those people from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Lin Chao's actions at this moment, he roughly guessed it in his heart, and hurriedly said to the two standing stupidly: "Why are you still standing there, let's go quickly!" -"

"Want to run? No way, you all go to me—" Lin Chao ordered loudly.

All the subordinates responded one after another, drawing their swords in unison and besieging him.There were already some onlookers gathered around the few people, but at this moment they saw that the situation was not good, and scattered away one after another.

Xi Yuan took the lead and ran away, Lin Jinchu followed behind Xi Yuan, and Lan Jian also held a sword behind them to cut off their backs.

After all, Lin Jinchu was young, and after running a few steps, he was exhausted, while Xi Yuan just ran ahead, and there were so many people in the downtown area, it was even less likely that Lan Jian would be distracted from taking care of her.

So, not long after, Lin Jinchu stepped on a slippery object, fell to the ground with a "bang", and hit a thorny object with his calf, immediately piercing his clothes and piercing his flesh.

Lin Jinchu's face was pale, and the two braids that he had tied up had long been messed up, and a little bit of bright red continued to ooze from his legs.She sat on the ground blankly, looked at Lin Chao and others who were chasing up, tried her best to support the ground, and tried to get up, but every time she moved, there was a sharp pain in her calf.

At this time, Xi Yuan, who was running at the front, felt that something was wrong. When he turned around, he found that Lan Jian was alone behind him, and suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

"Lan Jian, where's Lin Jinchu?" Xi Yuan asked anxiously.

"Who is Lin Jinchu?" Lan Jian answered without asking, her eyes sparkling, her face serious, as if she was pretending not to know.

"..." Xi Yuan helped his forehead, and said, "It's that little flower seller in pink just now."

"Oh, I don't know." Lan Jian answered honestly.

"Lan Jian! What did I tell you before? Didn't you promise me too?" Xi Yuan's tone was filled with anxiety, and he didn't have time to say more. He just dragged Lan Jian back quickly.

Lan Jian was pulled by Xi Yuan, her face was blank.

The two ran back in a hurry, and saw Lin Jinchu lying on the ground from a distance, and Lin Chao and others also caught up.

Just when they were about to step forward and grab Lin Jinchu, who was helpless on the ground, a gust of wind passed over everyone's heads, and the wind seemed to bring a faint scent of flowers. Tangy.

When Xi Yuan and Lan Jian came, they happened to see this scene.The man was wearing a black robe, with three thousand silver threads flaring in the wind. With a wave of his sleeves, he gently picked up Lin Jinchu who was lying on the ground, and seemed to glance back at Xi Yuan inadvertently, and then walked away up.

Everyone froze in place, and didn't even see the man's face clearly.

The author has something to say:

Xi Yuan: Matching with good intentions, but you don’t cooperate with QAQ

Lan Jian: [Baby doesn't understand]

Lin Jinchu: Wow!That big brother with silver hair looks so good!

Man in Black: That's right!

Xi Yuan: Hey, this person looks familiar

Lan Jian: [displeased, turns away]

Man in Black: Stop!I don't know you~ little sister, big brother will take you to revenge!

Lin Jinchu: Good!
