When Liu Ran opened his eyes again, it was already high in the sun.Shi Yu sat at the table with a book in his hand, and when he saw Liu Ran wake up, he put down the things in his hand, got up and helped him.

"Are you awake?" Shi Yu asked Wen Sheng, "It's the first time I've seen you sleep for so long."

Liu Ran stretched her body and said with a smile, "That's natural. You don't have to go to the morning court here, and you don't have to worry about King Xiu's affairs. It's rare and quiet, so you should sleep until you wake up naturally."

When Shi Yu heard this, he couldn't help being a little funny, and then asked, "Do you want to eat something?"

"Okay~ I've been hungry for a long time," Liu Ran's eyes lit up, and then he remembered Lu San's matter again, "By the way, what happened early this morning? Who is the murderer?"

"The shop waiter who was crying very sad." Shi Yu replied, helping him take off his clothes and handing them over, "It is said that the shop owner felt that there were too many employees in the shop and wanted to keep only one person. The shop waiter was not good at handling things, and I want to stay and work as an errand, but the shop owner is more optimistic about the dead waiter, so he was impulsive, and he only got murderous intentions in the kitchen last night."

Liu Ran asked while putting on her clothes, "What's the reason? The waiter's salary is not much, so how could it arouse a person's murderous intentions?"

"It is said that it is because there are many people in the family waiting for him to support him. He is poor. Although it is only a small job, he has a stable income."

"Don't the government give subsidies to the poor?" Liu Ran frowned.

"This is another matter." Shi Yu paused, "Do you still remember the mayor of Qingcang Town? Because he was old, he handed everything over to that policeman

.As a result, the catcher took advantage of his position to fill his own pockets and plundered a lot of people's admiration.This time it was Xiaoer who bribed the policeman.I wanted to close the case hastily, but I had no choice but to let you get in the way. "

"The problem that anyone with a discerning eye can see, shouldn't everyone expose him?"

"Everyone has more or less bribed the policeman, and the policeman was arrested. Has the past of these people been revealed soon?"

"It's really easy to fall a big tree, and it's hard to find a small grass." Liu Ran sighed, "Then that Lu San..."

"It's all right." Shi Yu replied, jokingly said, "So caring about others? Still stand up for them?"

"What..." Liu Ran smiled helplessly, "That's because they disturbed my clear dream early in the morning, so I had to come out."

"Okay, okay, I'll go get you something to eat..." Shi Yu turned to open the door, but was surprised to find that the child next to Lu San was sitting by the door, and when he heard the movement, he immediately jumped away like a frightened little animal .

"What's the matter?" Liu Ran couldn't leave when she saw it, so she stepped forward and was also a little surprised when she saw Amu.

"Little friend, are you...what's the matter?" Liu Ran asked tentatively, why did he feel that this child was as afraid of them as they were? ? ?

Amu seldom talked to other people, so he was a little shy and timid, but finally took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.

After Liu Ran took the paper, A Mu ran away without a trace.

"This child..." Liu Ran wanted to laugh a little, unfolded the letter paper, and the strong and powerful fonts came into view in an instant——

Please sit down and listen to chess.

"I'm afraid that brother has something to tell you," Shi Yu said sternly at the moment, "Do you know that winemaker Lu San never interacts with people easily?"

"Now I know," Liu Ran put away the paper, "I'll come back as soon as I go, how about going to the market together at night?"

"Well, let's go!"

Lu San sat on the couch, a chessboard was placed on the small table in front of him, and the black and white jade stones reflected the light and were shiny.

It is made of high-quality jade, each one is carved with exquisite patterns, it is very valuable, it is really rich...

Liu Ran withdrew her gaze, "Brother, what do you want me to do?"

Lu San got up, bowed and saluted, "Thank you for helping me with today's matter. To show my heart, I will give this set of 'fish-eye chess' to you as a thank you gift. I hope you will not dislike it."

Don't dislike it, definitely don't dislike it!

Fish-eye chess, he still despises it, can't you just ask for it!

"So..." Liu Ran didn't shirk, and readily accepted, "Thank you, brother!"

"It's still early, I wonder if my lord can play a game with me?" Lu San invited.

Liu Ran was very excited at the moment, of course he would not refuse anyone who came, "Okay, as long as my brother doesn't think my chess skills are vulgar."

Lu San still had no expression on his face, but he made a gesture of invitation with his hand.

The plane part of the fish-eye chess piece is smooth, and the eyes are soft. The black piece is carved with a picture of water waves, and the white piece is carved with two swimming fish. They are lifelike, comfortable to touch, and pleasing to the eye.

"Since it was given to me, let's go down first, brother." Liu Ran said politely.

In fact, he was afraid that a brewer would lose too much, so he deliberately waited for the trick.

Lu San did not shirk, picked up a sunspot, decisively landed on the chessboard, and said softly, "I am ranked third, if you are not good enough, please call me the third master."

"Okay, third master," Liu Ran also picked up a white chess piece and dropped it.

At first, Liu Ran felt that the game was really easy, everything was as expected, and the opponent was walking in the direction he expected step by step.However, as time went by, Liu Ran gradually discovered the subtlety of Lu Sanluo's moves, marveled at his superb chess skills, and felt ashamed of his carelessness.

However, although it was a bit difficult, at least it blocked the attack of the opponent's pieces, and Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he was wrong.

In the later stage, Lu San's chess pieces came with overwhelming momentum, overwhelming Liu Ran, who was caught off guard and retreated steadily.

All the black chess pieces, every step of the way, made Liu Ran feel a little out of breath.Although his chess skills are only used for jokes in his spare time, but slowly counting, he has played for nearly ten years, so he won't be so embarrassing.But Lu San in front of him had a calm face, but his subordinates had already turned upside down and turned mountains and seas.

"..." After failing to take another step, Liu Ran stopped and said humbly, "Third Master, I lost."

"It's already very good, and it almost went down with me to the end."

This was Lu San's sincere praise.If it wasn't for Liu Ran being too indecisive and caring about his feelings, I'm afraid he would be able to draw with him.

It's just that if Liu Ran doesn't care about others, it's not Liu Ran.

Meeting such a good opponent for the first time, Lu San felt a little excited after a long absence.

"Don't dare to be, if it wasn't for the third master, you are merciful, I would have already lost." The second time Liu Ran felt frustrated, it was even stronger than the failure to lure King Xiu last time.

"It's been a long time since I had such a hearty next game." Lu San stared at him, remained silent for a while, and said suddenly, "In that case, I'll give you another trigram."

"Hexagram?" Liu Ran raised her head with a puzzled look on her face.

I saw Lu San slowly put away some of Liu Ran's white chess pieces, and moved their positions on the chessboard, like the stars lined up in the night.When the last piece is closed, there are only black pieces in a strange distribution on the chessboard.

"... Avoid the rain."

After saying two words, Lu San put away the rest of the chess pieces, put everything into the chess box, and handed it to Liu Ran, "...be careful on the way forward," You sighed suddenly, as if talking to himself To himself, "Actually, you didn't have to go in person..."

hmmmm? ? ?

Liu Ran was confused for a while, and suddenly understood what Lu San said and said with a smile, "Only by doing everything by yourself can you have the results you want. Thank you San...ah no, for a knowledgeable and talented person like you, I should Say 'Sir'."

Lu San just nodded, and stepped aside to make way, the intention of thanking the guests was obvious.

Liu Ran thanked him and left the room holding the chess box.

Lu San looked at Liu Ran's back in a daze.

I hope you can survive this disaster.

He did his best.

Liu Ran carried Yumuqi carefully back to her room like a baby, cherishing it very much.

Just a joke, this is a treasure, how can it be contaminated by common dust, just holding a piece to play chess, he already feels very distressed.

"What? Did you find the treasure?" Shi Yu suddenly appeared from behind, almost scaring Liu Ran out of the chess in his arms.

"You scared me to death..." Liu Ran scolded, "This is fish-eye chess, the only one in the world, of course it is a treasure!"

"Like it so much?" Shi Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes looked like he was watching a show.

"..."

This look...

"Did Lu San tell you anything?" Shi Yu stopped teasing him, and asked playfully.

"Just invited me to play a game of chess..." Liu Ran was puzzled, "But he also made a fortune for me later, which is a bit baffling."

"What hexagram?"

"He said 'Jiyu', and said that I didn't have to go in person..." Liu Ran recalled, "I always feel that he is talking about the day we went to Jiangnan, but it doesn't look like it."

"...It's a bit strange..."

"General, my lord." Chen An knocked on the door outside.

"Come in."

"The mysterious passenger has already left," Chen An said succinctly.

"Gone?!" Liu Ran was a little surprised, "Where did he go? One person or two people? Is anyone coming to pick him up?"

"Towards the east direction of Qingcang Town, the ones with the children seem to be in a hurry. No one is going with them." Chen'an answered truthfully.

"East of Qingcang Town, the border of Jiangnan!" Liu Ran was surprised, why didn't he go with us? "This is like talking to himself, but also like a question.

"This... I don't know." Chen'an lowered his head.

"Okay," Shi Yu interrupted, "You haven't told others where you are going, how can others come with you? Besides, maybe they are used to being alone?"

"He still has a child, wouldn't it be safer to be with us?"

"You have to know...Lu Sanqi has never liked people..."

No matter how small the favor is, you have to pay it back. Only by living alone can you be free and unrestrained.

The episode of Qingcang Town was turned over like this, and the delay did not waste too much time. After staying for a day or two, he set off for Sun's house in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Sun family is busy inside and out at the moment, cleaning and renewing, adding tables and chairs, and spending a lot of effort to welcome Liu Ran and others.

A woman in light yellow clothes was in the courtyard, looking at the busy workers in a daze.The woman had dark almond eyes, curved willow-leaf eyebrows hung on her small face, her cherry mouth was tightly closed, and her cheeks were naturally rosy.

"Miss, why are you here?! It's dirty here!" A woman hurried over.

That woman was Sun Zhirou, Miss Sun's family.

Sun Zhirou came back to her senses, and said with a smile, "It's okay. Is there something wrong? Also, I'm curious, this used to be the place where Second Brother Liu lived, so it's just a matter of repairing it, why do we need to buy so many new tools? "

"Ah?! Miss, don't you know?" The woman was shocked.

"what do you know?"

"Second Master Liu has become an official in the capital, and now he is going to come to our Sun's residence to see Mrs. Madam!"

"What?!" Sun Zhirou was overjoyed, "Second brother Liu is coming, why didn't you tell me?"

"..." This questioned the woman, "maybe... the master is busy renovating this place, forget about it!"

"Does Ah Jue know? He misses Second Brother Liu the most." Sun Zhirou asked hastily.

Sun Jue is the son of her elder brother Sun Zhi. When she was a child, she liked to cling to Liu Ran the most. Every time Liu Ran came, he would always cling to him, and he couldn't part them.

"Young master, he...should...know, hehehe...Miss, where are you going?"

Seeing the woman hesitating, Sun Zhirou stopped listening and walked straight to the backyard.

"Ajue! Ajue!" Sun Zhirou called, but saw a small figure squatting in the grass.

Sun Zhirou bent over and ran over, "Ah Jue, you..."

"Hush!" Ah Jue immediately covered Sun Zhirou's mouth, motioning for her to listen.

"Master, what's the matter with this note?" Mrs. Sun's gentle voice came from inside the room.

"I don't know either... When I was going out today, I met a Taoist fortune teller, and he gave it to me." Master Sun's voice also reminded me.

"For you? Is this a hexagram?"

"Well...just..."

"Just what? Is the hexagram not good? Or what?"

"There are only two words on it: 'Jiyu'...I don't quite understand it."

"Didn't it tell us to be careful in rainy weather?" Madam thought tentatively.

"I don't know, I always feel a little uneasy..."

"..." Madam laughed twice, and said softly, "Maybe the Taoist priest is playing tricks. Don't think about it. Xiaoran is coming soon, don't let him worry."

"Hmm..." The master responded.

avoid rain...

what is that?

Sun Zhirou was puzzled, and when she heard that there was no movement inside, she forcibly pulled Sun Jue away.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" Sun Jue followed Sun Zhirou to an empty yard and asked.

"Did you hear it earlier?" Sun Zhirou asked curiously.

"No, not long after squatting down, you came, aunt." Sun Jue thought for a while.

"..." Sun Zhirou waved her hands discouragedly, "It's all right, you can go back! ... Oh, by the way, your Uncle Liu is coming, do you know?"

"Yeah!" Sun Jue danced excitedly, "I haven't seen Uncle Liu for nearly two years, so I don't know how he is. There's also Aunt Sue, and Xiao Yi, will Xiao Yi come too?"

Sun Zhirou was a little sad. They still haven't told Ah Jue about the destruction of the Liu family.

"Your Aunt Sue is not in good health, not suitable for being tired...Xiaoyi is also at the age of school and has too much homework." Sun Zhirou smiled perfunctorily, and then suddenly said sternly, "Ah Jue, what do you do with your homework today?" Is it finished?!"

"I, I, I, I... I'm going now!" Sun Jue immediately ran back to the room.

He hates homework the most! ! !

Sun Zhirou stood in the courtyard for a while, looked at the door of Sun Jue's room a few more times, and then left.
