Because of the wooden barrel, Mu Xuan was completely silent, and usually had to find someone to talk to when he had nothing to say, but now he didn't say a few words a day, either staring out the window in a daze or staring at the ceiling in thought, as if he had suffered a great setback.

Liu Xu often teases him, but he just smiles perfunctorily, and stops talking when he sees Ren Ke.

Ren Ke felt that the matter might be a little serious, and Qijiu was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he must have felt uncomfortable when he suddenly saw everything.

In order to ease the atmosphere and let him adjust his mood, Ren Ke made a decision to take him out for a walk.

Mu Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?"

Liu Xu said with a smile, "There can still be fakes, so let's go."

Mu Xuan looked at Ren Ke again, and when he saw him nodding, he wanted to jump up, but he still suppressed the joy in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said, "I'm wearing a dress."

It was not in vain for him to be a mute for two days, and finally succeeded, Xiao Mian, who dared to fight with him, did not look at how many centuries his brain had been precipitated.

Ren Ke waited for him at the door, and saw that he was neatly dressed, and his hair was tied with the worn ribbon given to him before, clean and shabby.

Mu Xuan raised his noble head, squinted at him, and asked, "Where are you going?"

It is rare for him to look so arrogant, Ren Ke suppressed a smile and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"Just take a look." Mu Xuan put his hands behind his back and strode forward in a big stride. If he didn't have no gold or silver in his body, he would be a bit like a rich man.

The room has been stuffy for several days, and finally able to see unfamiliar faces and breathe the air outside, Mu Xuan can't wait to bounce around, but there is someone next to him, so he can only suppress his happiness and pretend to be uninterested.

Ren Ke saw him walking all the way, without looking at anything or asking questions. In the past, he would buy a bunch of candied haws before going out, saying that "candied haws are the same as milk tea that is necessary for shopping in modern times", but now he passes by a few candied haws. He was indifferent, so he took the initiative to ask, "Do you want candied haws?"

Mu Xuan lowered his lips and snorted, "No need for children's food."

Passing by a teahouse, Ren Ke stopped and asked, "Would you like tea?"

When he goes out for a stroll, he will definitely find a teahouse to sit in, not to drink tea, but to watch the people coming and going.

Mu Xuan squinted around and saw that there were no pretty girls, so he shook his head, "Drink every day in the inn, don't!"

"..." Ren Ke felt that after this incident, his personality had changed.

Walking along the street all the way, walking slowly, without stopping anywhere, if it is not that the speed is not fast, it seems to be in a hurry.

When passing by the alley where Qianji Pavilion is located, Ren Ke glanced sideways and continued to follow Mu Xuan.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. Fortunately, it was an autumn day with a cool breeze and not too hot. There were not too many people on the street, and the fans in the hands of passers-by were just for decoration.

A gust of wind hit, just enough to lift Qijiu's hair and swept across his cheeks, Ren Ke turned sideways, and heard the continuous sound of bells hanging on the hawker stall.

"Seventy-nine."

When Mu Xuan heard him calling her suddenly, she looked back at him, feeling nervous, wondering if she had acted too much.

Ren Ke said eagerly, "Wait for me here, I'll go to Qianji Pavilion."

"Oh, then I..." As soon as Mu Xuan turned his head, there was no one in front of him. He originally wanted to say that he was waiting for him at the nearby teahouse and told him not to worry.

It seems to be quite urgent.

Ren Ke was gone, he stretched his muscles and bones, and he could jump around recklessly, but he didn't dare to run far, so he walked around a few stalls and shops nearby.

Looking left and right, he picked out a fan, on which a single plum blossom was painted, simple and beautiful, he had just left the door after paying the money, when he heard a voice suddenly.

"Boss, I've got everything I ordered just now. Send it to this location, and someone will pick it up."

When he spoke, his voice was a little sharp, and there was a sense of arrogance in his tone. This feeling once horrified him, and he dared not forget it.

Mu Xuan froze at the door, as if the scorpion poison was about to explode again. He didn't recover until he heard the boss's promise, and hurriedly hid aside and took a peek.

Sure enough, it was Yin Yue, even though she was wearing a veil, her posture and figure were unforgettable.

After waiting for a while for the people to leave, he squatted on the ground and thought for a while, wiped the ashes on his face, and then returned to the shop, "Boss, where is the address that girl gave you just now?"

The boss glanced at him and greeted him with a smile, "Young master, the one just now was a distinguished customer, and the shop can't say that."

Mu Xuan took out all the bag of money Liu Xu gave him, opened his eyes and said nonsense, "My son fell in love with the girl at first sight, but he just wanted to know which girl she was, so he asked a matchmaker to talk about marriage when he returned home. Everything is done according to the rules. There will never be any mistakes, the boss can rest assured."

The boss looked him up and down, hesitating.

Mu Xuan guessed that his body was a bit shabby and unconvincing, so he pushed all the money forward, pretending to be deep and playing with a jade pendant he just bought casually.

"If my son and that girl get married, the boss's benefits will definitely be indispensable, not to mention the small Huai'an City, even going to the capital to open a shop will make it worthwhile."

His bragging ability has been unintentionally perfected, and even Ren Ke can believe that he is a god, so he doesn't want to be unable to coax a little passer-by.

Sure enough, when the boss of passer-by A saw the jade pendant in his hand, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly believed it was true, happily collected the money, and took out the address that Yin Yue gave him just now, "If your son is successful, don't give me money." Forget about me."

"Boss, don't worry." Mu Xuan said politely, quickly looked at the address, and frowned instantly, it turned out to be Qi Mansion.

"Boss, this Qi mansion is the Qi family who walks the darts."

The boss saw that he was frowning, maybe he had doubts, so he explained, "Exactly, I don't know something. The Qi family just had a funeral a few days ago. Master Qi passed away, and Mr. Qi is missing. I heard that the funeral It was a girl who just buried the old man, she jumped into the river and committed suicide, the Qi family is really over."

Mu Xuan: "Then who is this girl?"

"Who knows, although the Qi family is in decline, but they used to have a big family, maybe they are Mr. Qi's concubine?"

Hearing this, Mu Xuan became even more frowning. This Yin Yue is too shameless. She came to share the money just after the Qi family was finished. It seems that she did it on purpose to kill Shi Qi.

"Thank you, boss." Mu Xuan thanked and left in a hurry, and he could still hear the boss yelling, "Your son's business is about to be completed, don't forget me."

Mu Xuan spat hard in his heart, no one would like a vicious old ugly woman like Yin Yue, he felt sick in his heart because of the panic just now.

"Seven nine!"

He had just walked a few steps when he heard Ren Ke shouting, and immediately ran over looking for the sound, and saw Ren Ke's expression was gloomy and full of hostility.

When Ren Ke saw him, he asked angrily, "Where did you go! Didn't I tell you to wait!"

He didn't like to be so angry, especially when he was still angry at him. The people next to him looked sideways. Mu Xuan was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so it was fine as usual. Now that he knew Yin Yue was here, it was better to be careful, so He pulled Ren Ke vigorously to the next shop.

Suddenly people rioted on the street, many people exclaimed, and some shouted, "It's flooded! It's flooded!"

"Where did the water go?"

"It's just the teahouse next to it. It just moved out a few days ago. Fortunately, there is no one there."

Mu Xuan was suspicious, looked up at Ren Ke, his expression was cold, his sleeves were obviously burnt, he was really a lunatic.

He changed his mind instantly and didn't plan to tell him about meeting Yin Yue. With his impulsiveness, he would definitely cut Yin Yue into pieces with his sword.

However, why Yin Yue came here, what they are doing here, how many of them there are, and everything is unknown, so they can't act rashly before they are fully sure.

Ren Ke's hands trembled a little, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, he looked straight at him and asked, "Where did you go?"

Mu Xuan bit the bullet, bragging to him pretending to be relaxed, "Ren Ke, you don't know, I was so powerful just now, when I saw someone bullying a child, I immediately stood up, if the child didn't pull me, I would Those scumbags must be beaten into dogs.

Under his gaze, his voice trembled unconsciously, but he still managed to finish speaking.

Seeing that his expression was getting weird, Mu Xuan continued to add, gesticulating with hands and feet, "You don't know, I kicked him to the ground just like you, and then..."

"Seven nine!"

Mu Xuan immediately fell silent, his heart raised to his throat, as if startled.

"Do you know that you are going to die now, why do you never listen to me, relying on me to indulge you, do you continue to be presumptuous again?" I endured it, but I was still aggrieved.

People in the store and on the street were restless because of the sudden fire, and there was a lot of voices around them. They were in the middle of the noise, and they only had each other in their eyes.

"I'm going to go crazy if you're not here."

Hearing Ren Ke's words, this young man who refused to give in to all injustices suddenly lowered his head.

There was something in Mu Xuan's heart that was completely shattered just like that because of Ren Ke's tears without warning. An indescribable emotion was like drizzle falling in a clear pond, rippling in circles and endlessly.

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears of the fragile young man, and promised word by word, "I will be here."

Even if they knew it was a huge lie, at this moment, he also believed that he could do it, and he would always be with Ren Ke and Chengye.

The fire was not extinguished and burned down the entire building. Ren Ke looked at all this with a calm expression, and looked down at the wood chip in his hand. The plum blossoms on it seemed to have faded a lot.

Mu Xuan didn't ask him if he did it. He didn't need to ask more obvious questions like this, and it made the atmosphere awkward.

Ren Ke said suddenly, "Let's go to the capital."

Mu Xuan looked at him sideways, "When?"

"Go back and call Xiaoxu and we'll leave."

It's okay to leave, otherwise it will be over if you meet Yin Yue here suddenly. They have nothing at present, and Ren Ke's injury is not healed yet.

On the way back, Ren Ke suddenly asked him, "Why don't you ask me?"

"Just say what you want, go buy two bunches of candied haws." Mu Xuan pointed at the candied haws in front of him, and pushed him away. Ren Ke was relieved to see that he was smiling, not as gloomy as before.
