India

Chapter 21 Acting Alone

He Jing in the mansion was not idle, he still thought that Mo Nan was still missing, so he walked worriedly to the guest room where they lived.What he didn't expect was that Mo Nan was standing at the door, bowing his head as if thinking hard.

"Mr. Mo, you are here," He Jing called him, "That's great, I thought you really disappeared."

Mo Nan was thinking about He Jing and Yun Shuangyue, when he heard the sound, he saw He Jing coming to look for him, so suddenly he was at a loss.

"He, Brother He, good morning." He greeted.

"It's getting late," He Jing's face was obviously worried, and his brows were soft and stretched slightly on weekdays, "Master Ji has bid farewell to my house, but fortunately he hasn't gone far, you are now chasing..."

"I know, I let him go first."

"...Ah?" Seeing Mo Nan's disapproving expression, He Jing was a little surprised.After being surprised, he said again: "Aren't you colleagues?"

"It's only for the time being, okay, okay, Brother He, I want to interrupt you at your house again, you don't mind?" Mo Nan tried his best to make his eyes full of anticipation, and he blinked at He Jing.

Presumably no one can refuse such a look, He Jing is no exception, he said awkwardly: "Of course not."

He Jing thinks that the two have different personalities, and it is normal to part ways. He originally wanted to stop understanding the reason, but he suddenly remembered the relationship between Mo Nan and Ji Guiran, and his thoughts became complicated again.

"Mr. Mo." He held Mo Nan who was about to walk in with a straight face, as if he had something to say.

Mo Nan simply had a huge shadow on this arm-pulling movement. Fortunately, He Jing didn't use much force, so he didn't jump up in shock. Mo Nan suppressed the fear in his heart, and calmly said: "What's wrong?"

"Don't think that He is talkative," He Jing looked at him seriously, "It's normal for husband and wife to quarrel, so don't worry too much about any troubles. They say that husband and wife are like birds of the same forest. You... "

"Stop—stop, stop!"

"?"

Mo Nan felt that he was talking nonsense in a serious manner, and wanted to find out if there was any tofu on the ground. Of course, he couldn't bear to shoot He Jing to death, so he chose to shoot himself.

"No, it's not what you think!" His mind was spinning fast, "...that's how it is. I watched the sky every day and counted with my fingers, and I felt that the seal snake that killed a thousand swords was still in your mansion. That's why I decided to stay... As for the surname Ji... Oh no, that Ji Guiran asked him to go outside to check it out. As for me, I stayed in the mansion to continue searching, just to be on the safe side... Yes, just to be on the safe side .”

"So that's the case... It seems that I was thinking too much." He Jing suddenly realized.

"Brother He cares about us so much, I am very grateful." If he didn't know about this shit, he would be even more grateful.

"Where is it, since this is the case, please continue to work hard on the house, Mr. Mo, and you must find it."

"Well, that's a must!"

However, things like the seal snake have long been thrown into the corner by Mo Nan. He cares more about Yun Shuangyue than the snake now, but after waking up this morning, Yun Shuangyue disappeared again, and neither did he. Know where to go.At this time, Mo Nan hoped that she would come out suddenly, even if she came out to scare him, it didn't matter, but Yun Shuangyue seemed to disappear and never appeared in front of his eyes.

In this way, Mo Nan stayed in He Mansion for the reason of mutual action.

Of course, he was not in the mood to continue digging through the grass, and he didn't know how to talk to He Jing.Therefore, he chose to follow behind He Jing, wait and see what happened, and find the right time to get back to the topic.

He Jing didn't notice the little tail following him at first, he just thought he was walking in the same way, but after a long time, wherever he went, the little tail followed him every step of the way, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

His daily activities are very simple. He gets up in the morning to water the flowers and plants. In the morning, he sometimes goes to the study to write and paint. Sometimes he basks in the sun in the courtyard. The warm sunshine in spring is very warm and comfortable on his body.Just as He Jing was about to walk into the courtyard, he felt Mo Nan's gaze from behind him again.

"Mr. Mo is also going to feel the Chunyang in the yard?" He couldn't help but ask.

"...You, you found out..." Mo Nan, who thought he was following quietly, was exposed, and felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing his embarrassment, He Jing smiled gently, expressing that he didn't mind, and said, "Isn't Mr. Mo going to find that snake? Is he following He because he thinks I have something to do with that snake?"

"No, no, I'm just... a little curious."

"curious?"

The word "curiosity" blurted out made it difficult for Mo Nan to explain: "Ah...that's the one... Brother He, you and your wife used to get along very well, right?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Mo Nan wanted to slap himself in the face. There was nothing there, the topic changed too obviously, and there was a ghost at a glance!

Fortunately, He Jing didn't notice the abnormality in these words, he only thought that Mo Nan was curious and casually asked, and he replied with a smile: "Yes, she and I get along very well."

"Haha... so..." Mo Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course you and Mr. Ji seem to have a very good relationship."

"...cough cough cough!..." Mo Nan choked on the saliva suddenly and almost coughed out his lungs.

"Actually, sometimes, I envy you all...Although you seem to be incompatible every day, but..."

It doesn't look like we are really fighting, the kind that wants to tear each other apart.Mo Nan wanted to interrupt him, but held back.

"But at least you are by each other's side, you can see each other's every move, and you can also hear each other's words... In fact, this is enough." He Jing said, with some sadness in his eyes.

"..." Looking at his sad expression, Mo Nan didn't know how to reply to him for a moment.

"...By the way, come with me, Mr. Mo." He Jing seemed to have thought of something, pulled Mo Nan, and walked in one direction.

Mo Nan resisted the discomfort of being pulled by his arm, and followed He Jing's footsteps. He walked through several courtyards and came to the mountain cherry tree.At this time, the light was bright and soft, and the spring sunshine shone on the dry tree trunk, as if wanting to inject life into the lifeless tree, but the tree trunk firmly kept the light out, preventing them from entering at all.

"She loves cherry blossoms the most in her life." He Jing looked up at the tree, "I planted this mountain cherry tree when I came here. If it can bloom smoothly, she should be very happy to see it."

Mo Nan didn't know that this tree species had such a meaning here before, looking at the mountain cherry that did not respond to his expectations, he lamented that this tree is really heartless.

"Unfortunately... it has lived here for three years, and its trunk and branches are growing every year. This is the third spring, and there is still no sign of blooming... Maybe... it is trying to remind me of something." He Jing continued muttered.

"...Brother He moved here because of Miss Yun?"

"Exactly. Before, I heard that there is a place in Hunshan Township..." He Jing said, feeling something was wrong, looked at Mo Nan strangely, and asked, "How did Mr. Mo know her last name?"

"...I..." Mo Nan knew that he had slipped his tongue, so he hurriedly found an excuse to fill it up, "I saw that it was written on that painting..."

"If I remember correctly, I shouldn't have marked his name."

"... Oh, that... that should be in..."

Seeing Mo Nan struggling to think about something, He Jing knew that he was impatient, so he didn't make things difficult for him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Mo should have seen it in the storage room that day, it's just his name. Don't worry too much about it."

"That's right, that's right," Mo Nan hurried down the steps, "Let's continue talking about the one just now, that's what you said about Soul Mountain Township..."

He Jing also changed back to the topic, explaining the origin of this town to Mo Nan.

On the other side, Ji Guiran wandered around the town after leaving the He Mansion, trying to find any traces of the seal snake.The people here naturally have no hope, and he felt that even if he went to the door to ask, those people would not answer him.

It's better to move on your own.However, Ji Guiran searched the town for a long time without any clues, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

It is reasonable to say that the stone has indeed led them here, but the only clues we have now are that He Jing has seen it in the mansion, and the mark on He Jing's body. I've slipped out... so where will I go?

Ji Guiran suddenly began to reflect on himself, whether he should have discarded that guiding stone that day, as there might be other clues on that stone.He recalled the place where he dropped it, and while thinking that he might be able to pick it up again, he rushed towards the gate of the town.

He arrived at the place in his memory, thought for a while, and then rummaged in a certain grass.

When he pushed aside the overgrown weeds, suddenly, a smear of white came into his eyes, and he looked in surprise, only to see that smear of white seemed to be the tail of a snake, and it was still wriggling slightly among the bushes.

His intuition told him that this was the seal snake he was looking for, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to attack it, but the seal snake seemed to see through his movements, and the snake tail retracted and disappeared.

Ji Guiran would not give up, stepped into the bushes and followed the trembling direction of the grass to determine its position, and was about to catch it when it went up, but the seal snake was very clever, it came out of the bushes with a swing, and quickly crawled towards the town , and Ji Guiran who followed him strode after him without even thinking about it.

Get it, get it.This is the firm thought in his heart.
