general follow me

Chapter 53 Fate

There are familiar scenery on both sides, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it is not in vain that the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River is famous all over the world.

The carriage stopped suddenly, making Liu Ran and Shi Yu a little puzzled.

"What's the matter?" Shi Yu opened the car door and asked.

"General, they said that the official road ahead is broken and under repair, so we can't get through it." San Yan who got off the car earlier asked clearly and ran over.

"It's okay, let's go from Qingcang Mountain. Don't delay here." Liu Ran's voice came from inside the carriage, as lazy as a cat.

In fact, he is indeed like a cat at the moment, nestling comfortably in Shi Yu's arms.

"Looking at the sky, I guess we can rest in Qingcang Town today." Liu Ran stretched.

"Then let's take a detour." Shi Yu closed the door, "I've been sleeping all day, won't you get up?"

"I can't get up, my bones are lazy..." Liu Ran giggled, "The last time I went to Qingcang Mountain, I devoted myself to saving people. I haven't tasted the local food in Qingcang, and I haven't taken a good look around Qingcang Mountain. warehouse."

"Isn't the Sun family in a hurry?" Shi Yu's hand stroked Liu Ran's hair slowly, every now and then, which made Liu Ran very comfortable.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if King Xiu waits." Liu Ran touched her nose.

"...What a fox." Shi Yu was helpless.

At night on Qingcang Mountain, every household hangs a small lantern, illuminating the passing pedestrians, quiet and peaceful.

There were not many people in the restaurants and inns. After all, it was already late, and there were not many people shopping in the market.

"Boss, three rooms, two days." Liu Ran handed over Yin Zi and said gently.

"Oh! It's a coincidence that this young master came here, and there are only the last three rooms left." The boss smiled and took out the key to Liu Ran, "You put it away."

"Thank you." Liu Ran returned a salute, "Please lead the way."

"Okay!" The boss walked out of the counter and saw two more people coming.

"Boss, is there any room? One is enough." A calm and deep male voice came from behind Liu Ran, and Liu Ran couldn't help but look back curiously.

It was a man in his twenties and sixty-seven in a long black gown, his bare skin was white and shiny.Ru Mo's long hair fluttered with the evening wind, draped lazily on his shoulders, half of a mask covered his face, those cold and deep eyes seemed to be the last bit of vitality left in this person's body.

There was a timid child beside him, half of his face was covered by a scarf, his eyes were sunken, and his dark blue pupils looked like jewels.

"Guest officer, it's a coincidence that you came, the room is already full, otherwise you..." The boss said in disbelief.

Liu Ran handed a key to Shi Yu, staring straight at the man.Shi Yu took the key,

Familiar with.

But can't remember who it was.

Liu Ran frowned, but couldn't see anything.

"Boss, it's getting late, and this brother is bringing another child. If you don't mind, we can spare a room here." Shi Yu put the key in his hand.

The boss turned his head and asked, "Then what does this guest officer mean..."

The man picked up the key without hesitation, bowed and said, "Thank you."

"No need."

The man took the children beside him without saying much, and went straight upstairs. When passing by Liu Ran, he stopped for a while, nodded and said, "Thank you."

Liu Ran didn't answer, just nodded slightly to show politeness, but inadvertently smelled the faint scent of wine on the man's body.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Liu Ran lost in thought, Shi Yu stepped forward and asked.

"Have you heard it?" Liu Ran whispered.

"Yeah," Shi Yu nodded, "You're talking about the smell of wine on his body, I can smell it."

"I always feel like..."

Before Liu Ran finished speaking, Shi Yu said, "Lu San."

"Lu San?! The brewer?!" Liu Ran was surprised, which he did not expect.

"Hush..." Shi Yu embraced Liu Ran, "Rest! It's too late."

"..." Liu Ran had no choice but to give up, and said to Sanyan and Chen'an who was driving the car, "Chen'an, I have wronged you to live in the same room with Sanyan."

"Why didn't you say that I was wronged..." Sanyan muttered in a low voice, "Huh? No, this person is Master Chen'an?!"

Obviously a rough guy! ! !

Liu Ran said with a poisonous tongue, "Chen'an, I've wronged you, just say a few words...he's a bit out of his mind..."

Chen'an put on a rough face, smiled and nodded, Sanyan felt more and more creepy, and couldn't help being a little scared.

"Let's go." Shi Yu put down his hands and said.

"Ah."

"San Dae, where are we going?" In the room, the child asked Lu San in blunt Chinese.

Lu San sent someone to bring bath water, and tried to be a little gentle, "Amu, I will take you to a place tomorrow, and wait for me to come back there with peace of mind."

"Where are you going, third father? Aren't you with me? When will you come back? Is that place good?" Amu asked innocently.

"It's safe," Lu San sighed, "I'm going to do some errands, and I'll be back in about a month or two."

"Okay!" Amu laughed, "Third Dad is going to do something big, so Amu won't be a hindrance!"

"Hey..." Lu San smiled slightly, but his heart was indeed a little melancholy.

Qingcang, Liu Ran.

The moonlight outside the window shone on Lu San's face, as if coating Lu San with a layer of light powder, reflecting the coldness on Lu San's face.

"Guest officer..." Xiaoer's voice sounded outside the door.

Lu San opened the door, but saw a strange face, and couldn't help but be a little wary, "It wasn't you who delivered the water just now? Where's the little brother?"

"Oh! He's sleeping now, and the night shift has been replaced by a younger one." Xin Xiaoer smiled and said, "I'm here to remove water."

"...Please come in." Lu San looked at Xiao Er in front of him, and after confirming that he had no martial arts, he let him in.

"Thank you, guest officer!" Xiao Er responded.

Chen'an seemed to see Sanyan's timidity at night, and couldn't help being a little funny, Yi Yi went too far, so he flew and landed on the eaves.

Suddenly, a familiar white pigeon flew in the distance, the red string on its feet was woven into a plum blossom shape, and some unknown patterns seemed to be painted on its body.

Do you play with white pigeons when you are bored?

The corner of Chen'an's mouth raised, he took off the letter box, and unfolded the small note under the moonlight.

Where are you?

Chen'an rubbed the note over and over again, feeling both joyful and dissatisfied in his heart.

Glad that he has always...never forget it.

Not satisfied with him... only wrote three words.

After watching for a long time but still not seeing enough, the pigeon let out a 'goo' before pulling Chen'an back from his thoughts.

Finally, I picked up my pen and wrote two words: Qingcang.

I felt that it was too little, so I added more time——

The scene of a day.

Liu Ran was tossing and turning on the bed at the moment, making Shi Yu a little confused.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking? You're so restless." Shi Yu asked.

"I'm thinking about Lu San." Liu Ran blurted out.

"..." Stay up in the middle of the night and miss others? !

"Don't think about it anymore, go to sleep." Shi Yu was a little helpless.

"No... I always feel that I have seen him somewhere." Liu Ran frowned.

"Oh?" Shi Yu raised his eyebrows, "Could it be Master Liu's childhood sweetheart?"

"...What are you talking about..." Liu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the general has become more and more jealous recently, "I always think he's weird."

Shi Yu stopped laughing and asked, "What's wrong?"

"He looked at me with a trace of helplessness and a trace of familiarity."

"Don't let the grass and trees become soldiers. Whether it's an enemy or a friend, we'll leave in the next day." Shi Yu tucked up the quilt for Liu Ran, embraced Liu Ran sideways, and stretched his hands under his neck, circling around Putting palms on Liu Ran's eyes, she said softly, "Sleep."

Feeling the temperature from Shi Yu's palm, Liu Ran let it go, "Okay. Let's talk about the mess tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Shi Yu's other hand patted Liu Ran's shoulder regularly, "Go to sleep..."

"Ah~! Dead! Dead!..."

Early in the morning, everyone was awakened by a burst of crazy screams.Liu Ran opened her eyes in a daze of dissatisfaction, "...what happened?"

Shi Yu beside the bed was getting dressed, and softly comforted, "I'll go out and have a look, you can sleep a little longer."

"...Okay." Liu Ran turned over and covered her head with the quilt, trying to isolate all sounds from the outside world.

In the courtyard, a man/corpse was lying on the ground with a knife stuck in his chest, which was obviously committed by others.

There was a loud noise in the courtyard—Qingcang Town government police rushed over after hearing the news.

"What's going on?! People were killed so early in the morning?" The head of the policeman turned to look at the shop owner fiercely, "Your business is really unlucky!"

Lu San also heard the movement and left the door.As soon as the face-to-face waiter saw Lu San yesterday, he excitedly dragged the official to tears, "Guan... Brother Guan, it must be them! It was Xiaodongzi who added the bath water to their guest room last night!"

"Is this true?" The policeman looked suspicious.

It's not his family who died, why are you crying so sadly? !

"Master Guan, everything is true..." Xiaoer knelt down and said sincerely, "...Yes, yes! I heard him and Xiaodongzi quarrel last night!"

"Arguing?" The policeman was puzzled, and asked Lu San, "Is there such a thing?"

"Indeed," Lu San said calmly, "The water delivered by the little brother who was lying on the ground yesterday was too cold. I told him how to use it, and asked him to change it. The meaning of the quarrel in it."

"Who knows what you're talking about?! Was there anyone there at the time!" the waiter wiped away tears and said righteously.

"How do you know no one is here?" Liu Ran couldn't stand it, the noise was too loud!

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present looked at the waiter.

"I... I, I saw it last night!" the shop waiter retorted.

"Oh? Is that so?" Liu Ran questioned, "You have so much snot and tears flying together today, and you care so much about this little brother, why didn't you stand up and help him last night?"

"..." The shop clerk was a little flustered, and then said tremblingly, "I, I... It's not that he is too fierce! I... How dare I..." Then his hand inadvertently tugged the policeman .

The police officer immediately interrupted, "Okay, okay! Don't argue anymore, both of you are suspects, especially you..." Pointing to Lu San, he said sternly, "The motive for the murder is all over, and the witnesses are also Here, come! Take him back to the government office!"

"Yes!" The soldiers behind made gestures to escort Lu San, but were stopped by Shi Yu.

"You man, don't you want to find trouble for nothing?!" The policeman was angry.

"My lord, why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Ran smiled, "The matter has not been clarified yet, and there is no physical evidence. Arresting people indiscriminately, I'm afraid...will arouse public anger?"

"Hu……"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Ran.

"Also," Liu Ran squatted down and inspected the corpse for a while, "This knife is full of vegetable oil, and looking at its appearance, it is obviously a knife used in the kitchen. This young man came here very late yesterday, even if Go to the kitchen and you won't get a knife with oil on it."

"Then what if..."

"Secondly, the knife entered the body of the deceased only a short distance away, and stabbed the same wound several times. It's just that the murderer was too cautious, and you didn't bring your assistant, so you couldn't find out. But this young man is tall and straight. , even if you have never practiced martial arts, it is impossible to kill a person with so many knives, but it is very possible because of your small body."

"Nonsense, I want to..."

"Finally, my lord, everyone who investigates the case knows that the place where the murder is committed is the place with the most clues, but you saw them dragging the corpse into the yard for everyone to see and not say anything. Why? The investigators clearly knew that there were Corpse, but still not called Wu Zuo, why is that?"

Liu Ran pressed on every step of the way, the policeman was sweating coldly, and the waiter was also a little scared.

"What? Don't speak? Did I guess it?"

Seeing Liu Ran's smile in front of him, the policeman shuddered, but he pretended to be calm, "You say so much, no, no, you just want to excuse him. Now I suspect you are an accomplice. Come! Take it down!"

"Yes, yes, yes! They are accomplices!" the waiter tremblingly said.

"..." No one dared to move, because Liu Ran's every word was so clear that they had to be convinced.

"Take it!" shouted the policeman, looking back.

There were a few who were not afraid of things and rushed forward, but were subdued by Shi Yu's few tricks.

"Bold, how dare you..." Halfway through the words, the arrester quickly shut up.

Shi Yu put the token in front of his eyes, and said slowly, "How dare you murder the imperial court official, what should you do?"

"General..." A 60-year-old official dressed in a government mansion entered from the outer courtyard, and apologized, "I failed to wait for the general to drive me, and I am a dereliction of duty. Please forgive me, the general."

"It's okay, I'm just passing by, I don't intend to report." Shi Yu took back the token, and he asked Chen'an to call this official.Then he pointed to the person brought by the police, "But, my lord, can you explain?"

"General, you also know that the officer is old. The officer has already left all the usual things to him, eh~ who would have thought..." the official apologized, with helplessness in his eyes.

"My lord, then you should investigate this matter thoroughly. While the general is here, investigate all the past affairs!" Liu Ran hinted.

"Thank you for reminding me!" The official bowed, "I'll go and investigate right now, sir."

What happened for no reason...

Liu Ran yawned, turned around and went back to the room.

Riding in a carriage is really tiring, what kind of people are they!

Talking nonsense with eyes open... After thinking about it, he undressed and shrank back under the quilt, and fell asleep peacefully, as if nothing had happened just now.

Shi Yu also nodded to the official, turned around and entered the room.

When everyone saw this, although they were still a little scared, they all dispersed angrily.

Lu San was left alone in the courtyard, staring at Liu Ran's door in a daze.
