Ji Ran made a gesture of all ears, waiting for Li Shaoqing to continue.

As Li Shaoqing said, this matter is not a secret among the upper circles.

As early as more than ten years ago, Uncle Ji went out to do a mission and passed by a small village in Liao Province along the road. Because of his injury, he temporarily lived there.

It is said that he stayed there for a long time, and even married a village woman, which became a joke in the imperial capital.

In a rage, old man Ji sent someone to look for him and take Ji Zihe away. As for the village woman, no one mentioned it.

About another month passed, Ji Zihe and Mr. Ji had a quarrel over something, and then Ji Zihe participated in a very dangerous mission.

When he came back again, he almost died from his injuries and was in a coma for three full years. Just when everyone thought he would be a vegetable forever, Ji Zihe woke up again.

However, at that time he was in a daze, and his memory was intermittent.

Later, there was very little news about Ji Zihe, and everyone only knew that he was recuperating at home.

After this kind of thing happened, the Ji family disappeared for a while, until Ji Feng made achievements in the military region.

But during a mission, Ji Feng was shot in the leg by a shotgun. This was the first time he was on a mission after recovering.

Hearing this, Ji Ran suddenly felt a sore feeling in his heart.

Maybe it wasn't that the father didn't want to come back, or that he disliked his mother's identity, but that he simply couldn't come back.

"Xiao Ran, you have your own group company now, so there's no need to go through the muddy waters of Ji's family." Li Shaoqing looked at Ji Ran seriously.

Ji Ran was silent, "Have you thought about it?"

"I didn't think about it before, but seeing your similar appearance to Ji Feng and the fact that you pay too much attention to him, I can't help but think about it." Li Shaoqing is such a transparent person, not to mention that Ji Ran's hometown is in Liao Province.

"My mother died of an illness. It wasn't a serious illness. Maybe a few pills could cure it, but we didn't have money to buy medicine at that time." Ji Ran slowly closed his eyes.

This is not his personal experience, but the memory is so deep.

Li Shaoqing put his arm around Ji Ran's shoulder, "No matter what you choose, I will support you."

Hearing this, Ji Ran turned to look at Li Shaoqing, "Even if I want to destroy Ji's family?"

Li Shaoqing absolutely did not expect Ji Ran to say such a thing, even though Ji's family is dying now, their status in the imperial capital is still very high.

What's more, Ji Ran is a member of the Ji family, and he will definitely be valued after he recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan.

Ji Ran suddenly smiled, "Just kidding."

But Li Shaoqing didn't see any sign of joking in Ji Ran's eyes.

"Wait, I thought of something!" Li Shaoqing said suddenly.

Ji Ran blinked his eyes, why was he so startled, "Second Uncle Ji, that is, your father, had a marriage contract before he met your mother, and the Song family and the Ji family of the marriage contract party are family friends. "

"Isn't Ji Zihe still unmarried?" Ji Ran thought about the current situation of Ji's family.

Li Shaoqing nodded, "That's why it's strange, your father is alive and well, and he never went back to find your mother, why didn't he marry the Song family.

I heard from my grandfather that the aunt of the Song family liked Second Uncle Ji very much, and she never married. "

Ji Ran was shocked, let alone the relationship between father and mother, that Aunt Song is a person who dares to love and hate.

"Perhaps there is some secret in it, only the Ji family and the Song family will know." Li Shaoqing sighed.

Ji Ran suddenly thought of a person, and that was Song Yang whom he saw at Old General Li's birthday banquet.

"Is Song Yang related to the Song family in the imperial capital?" Ji Ran asked, he could feel that Song Yang didn't like to see Li Shaoqing very much.

When mentioning this person, Li Shaoqing frowned slightly, "He is the third generation son of the Song family. He joined the navy and his achievements are no lower than mine."

Ji Ran thought to himself, the circle in the upper echelon of the imperial capital is really small, almost every family can be contacted.

After asking about Ji's family, Ji Ran thought of his cousin, "Ji Feng had a leg injury before?"

"Well, it's been a long time. During the previous evaluation, I was already diagnosed as disabled. I don't know what happened a while ago, but I suddenly recovered." Li Shaoqing said, he told his grandfather about it, but his grandfather told him He, Ji's family is not simple.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Li Shaoqing really felt that the Ji family was not simple now, especially the second young master of the Ji family who had been living outside.

"I thought you would ask me." Ji Ran whispered, when he wanted to change Ji Feng's medicine, Li Shaoqing had already found out.

Li Shaoqing smiled softly, "When you want to talk, you will naturally tell me."

"Thank you." Ji Ran sincerely thanked him, just for Li Shaoqing's understanding.

This secret, even if his own mother is resurrected, he will not reveal it.

The next day, everyone continued on their way and left Changbai Mountain smoothly.

Ji Ran didn't go with them, but planned to go to the medicine market here first.

Now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, there is really no elixir to be found.

Li Shaoqing didn't stop them either, it was inconvenient for them to go back and take Ji Ran with them.

In this way, they temporarily separated.

But before leaving, Ji Feng left Ji Ran's phone number, saying that he would contact him often in the future.

When he came to the herb market, Ji Ran wrapped himself in the down jacket and looked at the bustling market. Not to mention the few stalls, there were not even a few shops open.

Ji Ran found a big pharmacy to go in. The clerk saw Ji and yawned lazily, "What kind of medicine do you want to buy?"

Ji Ran took out the rootless grass and Tianyan flower he had sketched, "Do you have these two medicines?"

The buddy took a look at the sketch paper, and the drowsiness gradually dissipated, "Wait a minute, I seem to have seen it in a classic book."

After all, the buddy ran to the back hall.

Ji Ran had no choice but to find a place to sit down, which was better than wandering outside.

Not long after, an old man with white beard appeared, holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand.

"Young man, do you want to buy these two herbs?" The old man looked Ji Ran up and down.

Ji Ran got up quickly, "You know each other?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that unremarkable blade of grass is a rootless grass." The old man stroked his beard and said.

Ji Ran's eyes lit up, "Do you have any here?"

The old man shook his head regretfully, "This is not so much a herbal medicine, but a panacea."

"I don't understand." Ji Ran didn't know much about the functions of these things.

The old man gestured to Ji Ran to sit down, "Then can you tell me the purpose of finding these two things."

Naturally, Ji Ran couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say: "Save people."

The old man believed it, "Although I don't have it here, I know someone has it, but whether you can buy it or not depends on your fate."

"I also ask the old man to give me some pointers." Ji Ran said respectfully.

The old man shook his head, "If you can buy it, it will be a relief for him."

Ji Ran didn't know much about it, but that didn't stop him from looking for such things.

Originally, he just had the idea of ​​giving it a try, but he didn't expect to find something.

The old man handed Ji Ran a piece of paper with an address written on it.

The paper is obviously damaged, it seems that it has been stored for a long time.

After Ji Ran thanked him, he left the pharmacy and left the medicine market according to the address on the note.

He took a taxi on the road. Although the place was not far away, he really didn't want to leave.

Those few days in the mountains really made him tired of walking in the snow.

Five minutes later, Ji Ran came to the location on the address. This is an old residential area, the houses are very old, and the snow is very thick. It seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time.

Ji Ran found the house number, and after confirming that it was the house in front, he knocked on the courtyard door.

After about a minute, there was no response from inside. Just when he thought there was no one inside, the door was suddenly opened.

Ji Ran was startled, and looked at the mean-looking old man inside the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The old man's voice was cold, and his tone was also cold.

Ji Ran swallowed, "I'm looking for Mr. Bai."

The other party looked at Ji Ran suspiciously, "Are you looking for me?"

Ji Ran's attitude became a little more respectful, "Hello Mr. Bai, I'm from the medicinal material market. I heard that you have rootless grass here. I want to buy it."

"Not for sale!" After saying that, Bai Lao inside closed the door.

Ji Ran hurriedly took a step back to avoid being caught directly.

"Bai Lao, I really want to buy it. You can open it at any price. This thing is really important to me. If you don't agree, I will stand at your door all the time!" Ji Ran saw that Bai Lao's legs were inconvenient, so he definitely didn't leave If you are far away, you will definitely be able to hear his words in your ears.

There was no response in it, Ji Ran did what he said, and he really waited here!

The neighbor next to him just came out to take out the trash, saw Ji Ran standing here, and hurried over to persuade him.

"Young man, why are you still here? That old thing inside has a heart of stone. Go home quickly, so as not to get sick from the cold." The kind old woman persuaded Ji Ran.

Ji Ran shook his head firmly, "No, I'll just wait here."

"You child, why are you so stubborn? Forget it, I don't care about you." The old woman turned and left.

Ji Ran looked at the direction in which the old woman was leaving, his eyes sparkled.

About half an hour later, the old lady reappeared with a hot water bottle in her hand.

"Silly boy, I'll give you this." After speaking, without waiting for Ji Ran to agree or refuse, the old woman gave him something and left.

Is that old man Bai really hard-hearted? Ji Ran put the hot water bottle inside the down jacket, and the scalding heat pressed against his heart.

As the sky gets darker, the temperature here is getting colder and colder.

Ji Ran's lips trembled, but he knew that once he gave up and left, he would never have another chance to get the rootless grass.

White snowflakes fluttered down, and Ji Ran's eyelashes trembled slightly, with a layer of hoarfrost hanging on them.

His throat was a little itchy, and Ji Ran coughed twice.

The door in front of him finally opened, and the old man inside looked at Ji Ran with a complicated expression.

"Stubborn boy, come in!" Mr. Bai still compromised first.

Hearing this, Ji Ran held the corner of his mouth, and walked into the yard in front of him with his frozen legs.

Although the snow was thick outside, the inside was cleaned very cleanly. Ji Ran discovered this when old man Bai opened the door for the first time.

Considering that old man Bai's legs and feet are inconvenient, there must be other people here!
