no one knows better than me

You taste, you taste carefully, who are these people? ?

As soon as I'm old and haven't had a peach blossom yet, I deliberately don't let others have it!

Zhuang Qingliu squinted at Mei Hualan, took two steps forward with lightning speed, raised his hands unexpectedly, and clapped Mei Siji's ears.

- hum.

Mei Siji's ears rang when she slapped her, and then she pushed Zhuang Qingliu's hand away inexplicably, and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing?!"

After staring at Zhuang Qingliu, she turned to Mei Hualan: "Mr. Duanzhu, what news are you sending? Say it again, I didn't catch the second half of your sentence just now."

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Mei Hualan was smiling with expressionless eyes.

"It's okay, I heard it clearly!" Zhuang Qingliu opened his eyes and said nonsense, "You don't need to pass it on, I will pass it on for you."

As she spoke, she changed the subject, deliberately picked up the Qiankun bag on Mei Siji's waist and took a look, and saw that there were only some talismans, medicines, and ordinary spirit tools for suppressing evil, it was very monotonous.

In the past, when the heavens and the earth were full of aura and the cultivators were really cultivating immortals, the Qiankun Bag, as its name suggests, could hold the universe and form a world of its own, and now it is only useful for this.

Zhuang Qingliu held the small bag embroidered with dark patterns and said, "I want it too."

Mei Siji frowned, took a look at Meihualan, and with her acquiescence, quickly took one for Zhuang Qingliu, and put all kinds of things in it for the disciples of the Mei family.

However, Zhuang Qingliu opened it to take a look, emptied everything inside, and insisted on stuffing a fluffy blanket into his Qiankun bag.

Mei Siji stood beside her and looked at her: "What are you doing?"

"Bring a small blanket." Zhuang Qingliu gently pulled the two intertwined silk threads, "This kind of small blanket can be used for sitting and wrapping, or for tying a hammock. At the last time, it can be half spread and half covered. practical."

As she spoke, she turned her eyes to the fairy in the painting next to her——Since Lan Shu was almost summoned away inexplicably, she seemed to have been restricted by something. She neither spoke nor responded, and Zhuang Qingliu touched her. After touching her, he picked her up and carried her with him.

Mei Siji frowned and objected: "The Qiankun bag is limited in size, you should pack important things when you go out."

"The size of a Qiankun bag is limited, so can I just take two?" Zhuang Qingliu stepped out of the door, turned his head and raised an eyebrow at her strangely, "Then can you please get me another one?"

"..." Mei Siji was so angry that she turned around and left, leaving her behind.

Zhuang Qingliu lazily covered the sun with his hand and smiled, then turned his head and asked, "Mei Pan, are you going to take the boat this time too?"

Mei Hualan: "Don't want to take a boat?"

"That's not true, it's just..." If you take a boat and travel by water, you can't buy good food and drink along the way.

Zhuang Qingliu pretended not to think about this sentence, and said naturally: "It's just me looking at the map. It seems that I can't go directly to Lan's Immortal Mansion by boat this time, and I still have to go by land."

Mei Hualan: "Yes."

"Then after we turn overland, should we go? Or Yujian? Or rent a car or a horse?" Zhuang Qingliu kept asking along the way.

Mei Hualan suddenly found out her umbrella from nowhere, opened it and said, "Xiaohan will make arrangements, come here."

Zhuang Qingliu turned her head and saw that her umbrella seemed to have changed its color when it was covering the sun. There were fresh white flowers rolling outside, mint green, so foreign.

She blinked, put down her hand that was covering the sun and moved over: "City Master Mei is also going this time? What about her?"

"Her mother's clan, the Yan clan, is related to the Lingbilan clan by marriage." Mei Hualan summed it up briefly, and then said, "Let's get on the boat first. She has something to do at the foot of the mountain, so come over later."

It turned out that way, Zhuang Qingliu nodded, took out an orange he had just stolen from Mei Siji's sleeve, peeled it and ate it, and suddenly asked on a whim: "Duan Bin, did you come to your house these two days?" Is it a small town under the Immortal Mansion?"

Mei Hualan turned slightly to look at her.

The small town surrounding the Mei family's Immortal Mansion is actually the place where the Mei family's vassals and outer disciples mainly live and practice. The Mei family must be aware of the population flow there.

"Huh?" Zhuang Qingliu laughed, dipped the orange petals on Mr. Duanzhu's chin, and fed her, "I just want to know if he has started to get rich, how about taking a sneak peek later? "

Mei Hualan ate the oranges, but still didn't speak.

Zhuang Qingliu's heart moved, and he deliberately clung to her and shouted: "Good Meimei? Panpan? Duanzhujun? Sister..."

"Okay, got it, let's go." Mei Hualan's eyes seemed to twitch, and she quickly grabbed her wrist, signaling her to stop.

Zhuang Qingliu laughed so hard: "Hahaha——"

After a while, Meihualan didn't seem to be in a hurry, and led Zhuang Qingliu to turn left and right slowly on the bustling street. After buying a bunch of delicious and delicious things intermittently, he turned to a relatively remote and dilapidated small alley. He pointed to the first door.

Zhuang Qingliu immediately laughed in his heart. The streets he passed by just now must have been very expensive, but here it looks very cheap.

She casually ate fried peas, peeked in through the cracked back door for a while, and saw Duan Bin, wearing a silver mask, counting money behind the counter. up.

"So poor."

Zhuang Qingliu couldn't help feeling emotional, and after turning his head and leaving with Mei Hualan, he picked up a round pebble on the river beach and threw it around: "I used to be quite rich, but now I'm very poor."

She seemed to have said such a strange sentence on purpose, but Mei Hualan retracted her eyelashes and did not ask.

Zhuang Qingliu quietly looked away, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Mei Pan is really very restrained, she doesn't seem to have any curiosity.

She threw the cobblestone higher and higher, raised her head against the light and said, "I don't know when I will become the richest person in the world."

"..." Mei Hualan turned her head while walking, and after looking at her for a moment, she suddenly stretched out her hand to the side to catch it, and grabbed the pebble that had been warmed by Zhuang Qingliu's hand into her palm.

Zhuang Qingliu turned her head to look at her hand: "Huh?"

Mei Hualan's five fingers slowly spread, and the white dove-colored pebbles in the palm of her hand turned into golden ones: "Here you are."

"??" Zhuang Qingliu took the stone back in amazement, turned it back and forth twice, "Turn a stone into gold? You can do it, is this really gold?"

"Fake. A little trick."

Zhuang Qingliu let out an "ah", then casually tossed the little gold stone: "Then are you trying to make fun of me?"

Mei Hualan looked at her quietly: "I want to make you happy."

"..." Zhuang Qingliu subconsciously looked at her, then quickly turned her head back.

Trying to make her happy?

Why is this person like this, such words are blurted out.

But when a good-looking, powerful and gentle person talks to you like this——everyone can't help being beautiful in their hearts.

Zhuang Qingliu didn't look at people for a long time. After being here alone, she couldn't help but turn her head to see if Mei Hualan was still looking at her... As a result, Mei Hualan was casually looking at the bamboo cage by the roadside A reed chicken.

Zhuang Qingliu immediately turned back pretendingly, staring straight ahead, she really thought too much.

After the two boarded the boat, it was said that Mei Xiaohan, who was working on some errands, hadn't rushed over yet, but Mei Sigui, who had funny eyes, was sitting at the cabin table.

Mei Sigui is very reserved when she transforms into a bird. It is probably because Mei Hualan taught her to keep her back straight and put her hands flat. Yes, the past few days can turn 72 times on Zhuang Qingliu's bed.

"Are you with us?" Zhuang Qingliu raised the curtain and asked with some apprehension, and then turned to glance at the people around him.

Mei Hualan said indifferently: "She wants to follow, no problem."

Mei Siji was sitting next to her, and she seemed to be peeling an orange for Mei Sigui: "You just came back, but you don't need to rush to join us, you should go back and rest for two days."

She thought that Mei Sigui had just come back from work, but her tone was too gentle and big sister, which was very different from usual, so Zhuang Qingliu couldn't help but gave her a strange look.

It turns out that in the eyes of other members of the Mei family, Mei Sigui is usually more autistic than Mei Hualan. Most of the time, she doesn't talk much and only uses a pair of big round eyes to show her innocence. Group favorite.Everyone treats her very well, even Mei Siji, who is usually so strict that she can't wait to chant scriptures, treats her a little bit.

Mei Sigui blinked her very deep eyelids, and gave the peeled oranges she received from Mei Siji to Zhuang Qingliu.

Mei Siji: "..."

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

Mei Siji nodded with a twisted expression, and went out of the cabin to practice sword without saying a word.

Zhuang Qingliu laughed like a dog while eating the oranges from her daughter's little padded jacket.

Not long after, Mei Xiaohan finally boarded the boat, holding a pile of booklets that seemed to be processed, and the two big dark circles under her eyes showed that she was a very busy elite.

Zhuang Qingliu was in awe and didn't dare to waste the elite's time. He just said hello and asked about the restlessness in Lingshan: "Have you found anything related?"

"No, Senior Zhuang." Mei Xiaohan didn't say much, but said, "But there is one thing, I have received a lot of summons from last night to now, and some of the evil riots that were suppressed did not happen alone in the Mei family, but It was at the same time yesterday that this happened in almost all the fairy mansions of the hundred families of the immortal sect."

Everywhere in Xianmen Hundred Families?Then this situation is even more weird.Zhuang Qingliu thought about it quickly in surprise: "Are they all acquired spirits that have been suppressed?"

Mei Xiaohan: "It seems so."

"What about those who have not had time to suppress?"

Mei Xiaohan said: "There are still a lot of these, and they are relatively single and scattered. Senior Zhuang, we haven't had time to check and return the files."

"Okay, I see." Zhuang Qingliu nodded quickly, signaling her to hurry up, and then taught Mei Sigui to turn up the flower rope with a childlike innocence, and carved apples and other fruits into various shapes. The little bird made her happy, and then took over the kitchen.

Five days in a row passed quickly. As the boat sailed, the green trees on both sides of the bank gradually turned into blooming flowers. As far as the eye could see, most of them were golden silk magnolias exuding a delicate fragrance. This kind of magnolia was also from the Lingbilan family. The family pattern means noble conduct and fragrance scattered throughout the world.

Zhuang Qingliu looked back and forth for a long time, then looked away from both sides, and turned to the side.

Mei Xiaohan is really dedicated to his work, and always carries a scroll with him at all times.Zhuang Qingliu occasionally felt that she was memorizing the materials edited around her, but occasionally she felt strangely that she was holding a grudge, the kind of thing that she would remember if she had a grudge against him.

"Mr. Duanzhu, why do we only have that little meat in the kitchen?"

Zhuang Qingliu sat sideways on the side of the boat, looked at Mei Xiaohan in the sun for a while, then turned to the side to do nothing, but even pretended to blow the wind on Mei Hualan standing on the deck: "Huh? Boss? We have no food in the kitchen, now Only cabbage cabbage and cabbage!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Sigui who was next to her took out a handful of worms and opened her palm.

After Zhuang Qingliu lowered her eyes, she raised her hand and stroked her head: "Mmm... Be good."

She put the fat bug back into Mei Sigui's sleeve: "But... thank you, my species is really not a flytrap!"

Mei Sigui asked innocently: "What is that?"

Zhuang Qingliu thought for a while, resting her chin on one hand and meditating: "It should be water lilies." As long as she is given a bed, she can sleep like a wild fish all the time.

"...You're not." Mei Hualan turned her head inexplicably, looked at the shore for a while, then turned to Mei Xiaohan, "Then get off the boat now, this is Longchuan, not far from the Lan family's Immortal Mansion."

Zhuang Qingliu quickly agreed.It's hard not to support it.After all, life and death threats can be overcome, but food is bad, it is too bad to overcome.

After they got off the boat, they walked for a while, and at dusk, they randomly found an inn that looked very lively.

The inn is full of people and the smell of wine is wafting, which is not comparable to that small inn in Xuanzhou.The entire Longchuan City was also brightly lit, the streets were bustling and noisy, and there were crowds of pedestrians who came out to set up stalls and hang out at night.

Under Mei Hualan's expressionless gaze, Zhuang Qingliu dragged her to abandon the private room and sit in the lobby by the window on the first floor.

"How expensive is the private room? No matter how rich you are, if you don't save money, you won't become the world's richest man."

Plum Blossom Lane: "..."

Mei Xiaohan didn't care, he casually sat at the table, turned his head and glanced at the menu hanging on the wall, and ordered a few dishes and tea casually: "Is there anything you particularly want to eat or avoid, Senior Zhuang?"

"No, no, no!" Zhuang Qingliu said, "It's better to have more meat and less vegetables."

"..."

Mei Xiaohan ordered a few more meat dishes, but after she finished ordering, Mei Hualan, who had been silent all this time, calmly added a few more vegetarian dishes.

Zhuang Qingliu blinked her eyes, and smiled at her meaningfully, then raised her hand and put the fairy in the painting on the table, gently lifted up the silk wrapping Lan Shu, and wanted to ask her if she could leave now. It's getting closer, but there is no feeling.

Mei Xiaohan seemed to have seen something on the street and wanted to buy it, so he got up and said, "I'll go out and have a look, I'll be right back."

"Let's go too." Mei Siji couldn't sit still and got up too, then turned her head and pulled, "Sigui together."

Mei Sigui was dragged away inexplicably, and there were only two people left on the table.

……

Zhuang Qingliu couldn't help raising his head, and wanted to see what was outside, but with a flash of his eyes, he suddenly saw a familiar person walking in with that golden sword on his waist.

Zhuang Qingliu couldn't help but look away silently, raised the teacup on the spot, and covered his face with the back of his hand on his forehead.

However, she hid her ears and covered herself, but forgot to cover the plum blossoms. The man came over, glanced back and forth, and said hello: "Mr. Duanzhu, young master Zhuang is here?"

Zhuang Qingliu put down his hands, nodded and said to him: "Yes, I really don't want to be here, so can I leave now?"

Pei Yi wore a purple dark-pattern suit, held the sword hilt in his hand, looked at their faces for a while, and then sat down expressionlessly and said: "Young Master Zhuang, now that the truth is revealed, what happened before So far, it's our family's problem. As for the things that Pei did not personally participate in in the past, I also have doubts, and I won't make a fuss about it."

Zhuang Qingliu paused for a moment, and looked at Pei Yi twice more - Pei Yi was a proud and upright person, with no tolerance for sand in his eyes, but he was actually different from those of the Pei family.Now that I heard him say this, the previous offense can indeed be written off.

"It's just another matter." Pei Yi turned to Mei Hualan with deep eyes, "The formation of my Pei Family's Immortal Mansion failed that day, and I'm afraid it has something to do with Mr. Duanzhu."

Mei Hualan glanced at him indifferently, neither spoke nor denied.

Zhuang Qingliu wondered how this person could be so cold and cold, and just as he was about to open his mouth to make a scene for her, Pei Yi raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't deny it, the wine in our ancestral hall will not be replaced by lamp oil for no reason. , that kind of Haitangxue wine is the only one Duanzhu Jun will drink when he usually goes to banquets, and Pei knows it."

"..." Zhuang Qingliu had no choice but to lower her head and peeled a peanut pretending not to hear.

Pei Ming stared at Meihualan again, and after listing a few examples one by one, he straightened his thick black eyebrows and said, "So Duanzhu, you installed eyeliner in our house."

This sentence is not a question, but a very positive statement.

Mei Hualan, who had always been calm, looked at him bluntly at this moment: "It's not me."

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

How could this person be so deceitful? It should be said that there is no such thing, absolutely no such thing.

Pei Yi nodded seriously, and said, "Pei will definitely check who they are and find them out one by one."

Mei Hualan calmly pushed Zhuang Qingliu a cup of tea: "Okay, Xiaohan will be in charge of the exchange."

Pei Yi: "..."

Zhuang Qingliu: "...??"

Zhuang Qingliu looked at them for a moment as if he was watching a ghost—although it is not uncommon and common to put eyeliner on each other, and to some extent it is even indispensable, but it is very weird to pick each other out.

And with just such a sentence, Pei Yi's serious side face seemed to turn away slightly, and there was a little unnaturalness.

Mei Hualan didn't care that he was unnatural, she just lowered her head slightly and flicked the peanut crumbs on Zhuang Qingliu's body.

After a while, Pei Yi looked back and forth between the faces of the two of them, looking thoughtfully at Mei Hualan's attitude towards Zhuang Qingliu, and said: "It seems that most of the things that have been rumored before are not true."

He was probably talking about the blood feud between Zhuang Qingliu and Mei Hualan's family.

Mei Hualan glanced at him lightly, noncommittal.Zhuang Qingliu's heart moved slightly, always feeling that this man was deliberately shown to Pei Yi.

What else did Pei Yi want to say, suddenly a shadow flashed around him, and three people sat down one after another—it was Mei Xiaohan who had just gone out and the three came back, carrying a bird cage, it seemed that they were going to buy birds.

Zhuang Qingliu watched Pei Yi's face change drastically when he saw Mei Xiaohan, jumped up from the bench in an instant, and walked away: "I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"Hey?" Zhuang Qingliu said while holding the teapot, "Don't go, Little Sect Master Pei, why did this happen so suddenly? I still have something to ask you..."

Pei Yi almost shouted: "I'm really busy! I'm very busy!" He just turned around and ran to the door, then ran back and said to Zhuang Qingliu, "Master Zhuang, see you at the Lan family, I have something to talk to later. you say."

He left quickly after speaking this time.

Zhuang Qingliu turned to Mei Hualan and said: "It seems that he is not in a hurry to change the hostages, and he didn't say hello to Mayor Mei in advance."

Mei Hualan just twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "He doesn't dare."

It turned out to be a doctor from Mei Xiaohan's family for generations. Although she herself took the post of Meizhou editor, she has been fascinated by it since she was a child, and she is very kind. You press over to the medicine cabinet, whether you want to or not.

About a few years ago, Pei Yi suffered from an old sword-sickness attack. After being hit by her, he was forcibly restrained and treated for half a month. He happened to perfectly miss a very important sign of the fairy gate. Mei Xiaohan turned around and ran away.

Mei Xiaohan just turned his head and glanced indifferently, didn't say anything, and went back to his room early after eating.

Three days later, the group finally arrived outside Lan's Immortal Mansion. The Lan family was different from the others. The Immortal Mansion was not on a mountain, but was built on a plain. There was also a very wide artificial moat around it, with many Large tracts of lotus.

Zhuang Qingliu approached the river, lowered his head to take a look at his pretty face, and was about to raise his hand to touch a lotus flower for her to grow a lotus pod to eat, when the picture scroll on his back suddenly shook and moved, and it became more and more more intense.

"what happened?"

Zhuang Qingliu immediately turned his head back and raised his hand, but Mei Hualan was one step ahead of her and untied the scroll from Zhuang Qingliu's back. They lowered their heads and asked in unison, "Lan Shu, is your bone nearby?"
