Chapter 22 Meet again
Ran'er has never worn such a dress.

Wearing an elegant milky white short jacket, various pink stripes made of silk and satin, a skirt embroidered with hundreds of patterns, a purple ribbon around the chest, and an accessory made of pearls on the belt , with two silver bells tied to the lower end, which make a crisp sound when walking.

Usually her hair is only tied into a long braid, but it is also combed into the most fashionable "Lingxu bun". On the bun, there is only a hibiscus flower carved from white jade, which only looks pretty and lively.

Ran'er looked at herself in front of the mirror and couldn't help turning around.

"Wow... so beautiful!" Xia Yun, who had just entered the room, couldn't help sighing when he saw Ran'er circling.

She knew that Ran'er was beautiful, but she never thought that Ran'er could be even more beautiful after dressing up.

Ran'er stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, and said, "I've never worn such clothes before, they really look good, it's just that this outfit is so troublesome."

Ran'er sat in front of the dressing table early in the morning, not daring to move, letting the maid sent by Xia Yun to dress herself up.

While speaking, he found that Xia Yun was still dressed in white, and his hair was combed into a bun, but he didn't wear any hair accessories, and he was spotlessly clean.

Ran'er was puzzled and said, "You asked someone to come early in the morning to dress me up, but you yourself are dressed so plainly."

Xia Yun said helplessly: "I can't help it. Everyone thinks that Uncle Zhang has passed away. Although I don't want to wear mourning clothes, I have to keep a low profile!"

"Then you still let me dress like this?" Ran'er was even more puzzled.

"Hey, you are different, you are a guest of our Xia family!"

Speaking of Xia Yun's mysterious smile, he continued:
"And my brother asked me to take you to Uncle Zhang. He was worried about your health. Firstly, the journey was tiring, and secondly, you were bitten by 'Chiyan'. Although you look fine now, brother is Don't worry, tell me to take you to Uncle Zhang, and let Uncle Zhang give you a proper pulse diagnosis."

"Go now?" Ran'er asked.

Unexpectedly, Xia He was so careful, he had so many things to deal with, but he was still worried about his body, Ran'er couldn't help feeling warm.

"Yes, let's go now. Just now, I saw that my brother has taken a large group of grandma and uncle to the backyard. I guess grandma must be furious. Now, while no one is caring about us, hurry up and slip away." !” Xia Yun said as he took Ran Er's hand and walked out the door.

"Why did grandma get so angry!" Ran'er was a little puzzled.

"It wasn't your idea. Not only did Uncle Zhang pass away, but even his body disappeared for no apparent reason. Over the years, grandma has treated Uncle Zhang as if she were her own son. In such a situation, can she not be furious? "

Xia Yun couldn't help but rejoice as he said that, it was a good thing that in the morning, when he was going to pay his respects to his grandma, Xia He stopped her and told her not to go to pay her respects, and took Ran'er to look for her when no one at home could take care of her. Uncle Zhang.

Cough, it's great to be able to go out to play without having to bear grandma's anger!
Ran'er smiled awkwardly, and didn't know whether her idea was right or wrong, but since Xia He and Uncle Zhang both adopted it, it should be approved.

"Do you know where Uncle Zhang is now?" Ran'er asked.

Xia Yun smiled proudly: "Then I must know, how about I take you there!"

Oh well!If you really worry about it, you will be chaotic.

There is no need to ask, Xia He will definitely tell Xia Yun.

Ran'er, who had just walked to the door, suddenly sneezed twice, and felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.

How is this going?

Ran'er was startled, and suddenly had a feeling of being missed.

But who could he be in this far east?
……

Ran'er has already seen the prosperity of the streets of Luoyang when she first arrived in Luoyang.

But walking in it now is a different feeling.

Walking on the broad street, one can see crowds of people moving and disorganized at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they are all different people engaged in various activities.

There are some vendors on one side of the road, and there are various supplies and groceries on the stalls.

On the other side of the road, there are tea sellers, snack sellers, fortune tellers, and jugglers...

Many pedestrians come and go, some point and look around, and some buy groceries, drink tea and eat.

In the middle of the main road, a bustling stream of people passed by, some sat in sedan chairs, some rode horses, some carried burdens, and even drove camels to transport goods...

Ran'er had never seen all the scenes before, she stared at this and that curiously with wide eyes, everything was so novel.

Although Xia Yun lives in the city of Luoyang, she has already been unfamiliar with the prosperity of this city after walking on the Silk Road for more than a year.

Walking on the street now, she also felt that everything was very new.

The two girls held hands and were having a great time strolling on the street, as if they forgot to find Uncle Zhang.

"Yunyun, do we want to continue shopping like this?" Ran'er asked,
Although she thought it was quite fun, after Xia Yun told her that it was Xia He who ordered the two of them to go shopping in the street before looking for Uncle Zhang, she had some concerns and couldn't go on shopping to the fullest.

"I'm going shopping for a while. It's okay. My brother said let's go shopping in the street, eat something delicious, and go to Uncle Zhang in the afternoon." Xia Yun swallowed while walking forward The food stall trot away.

"Yunyun, slow down!" Ran'er could only trot to keep up.

"Ran'er, do you know?" Xia Yun pointed to the food stall in front of him and explained, "That's selling peony cakes. This peony cake tastes fluffy and soft, sweet and delicious. I like it. It is It is made with pea, mung bean, kidney bean, red bean and peony flower sauce, which can only be eaten in Luoyang!"

Xia Yun couldn't help but swallowed his saliva while talking, no, I must eat enough today.

Just as the two were about to walk to the stall, they were blocked by a woman in a crimson veil.

"Little sister, go buy some snacks in such a hurry!"

The charming voice then reached the ears of the two, and the voice seemed familiar.

"Master Xia doesn't even know where the dead body is now, but you, Miss Xia, still want to eat peony cakes here, it's really strange."

The charming voice came again.

Ran'er and Xia Yun already remembered that the woman in front of them was the evil woman who was wearing a veil and tried to kill Uncle Zhang that day.

This time she was not covered with a veil, and she was in her thirties. Although her skin looked creamy and her charm was weak, the gloom in her eyes broke her supposedly charming appearance.

"What are you doing here?" Ran'er asked in a cold voice, in such a large crowd, Ran'er was not afraid that she would do anything excessive.

But subconsciously, Ran'er was very careful whether the scar on her neck from being bitten by a snake would be discovered by the woman in front of her.

But that night, Uncle Zhang used something to cover the scar, so nothing could be seen, as if it was intact.

Uncle Zhang reassured her that it would not fall off after washing with water, and it would fall off along with the scab after the wound recovered.

Thinking of this, Ran'er's heart sank again.

"What are you doing?" The woman said with a chuckle, "Of course I'm here to ask Miss Xia to help find the corpse that everyone is in charge of."

"You vicious bad woman, you dare to mention Uncle Zhang and pay Uncle Zhang's life!" Xia Yun shouted angrily.

"Wait, you want to arrest me to find Uncle Zhang's body? What did you do with Uncle Zhang's body? You vicious woman." Xia Yun asked and cursed.

She and Ran'er had already left Xia's house before they found out that Uncle Zhang's body was missing, and now they couldn't reveal that they knew that Uncle Zhang's body was missing.

The woman smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly saw two strong men coming out of nowhere, coming in front of her, blocking the two girls.

The two strong men said to Xia Yun who was behind him at the same time: "Miss, don't be afraid, the subordinate is here!"

"Yo, let me just say, how could Miss Xia run out at this time, and still have the mind to buy peony cakes." The woman said charmingly.

"What a powerful young master of the Xia family, it seems that the servant's family has tricked me!" The woman said, turning around and swimming towards the roof of the teahouse behind her like a snake.

Seeing this, the two strong men chased after them with knives.

Ran'er and Xia Yun looked at each other.

"Run away like this?" Xia Yun was still in shock, and suddenly thought of what Xia He told him this morning, that he must be in a crowded place, no matter what happened, he didn't have to be afraid.

It turned out that my brother had already made arrangements.

Ran'er looked at the direction in which the woman disappeared, and said puzzled: "They actually want to take you away, what are these people trying to do?"

"What else do you want to do, arrest me and find Uncle Zhang?" Xia Yun remembered what the woman said, "But my brother can't find it, how can I find it?" Xia Yun stomped.Now that she is smarter, she must not reveal anything about Uncle Zhang on the street.

"It seems that someone has been following us!" At this moment, Ran'er admired Xia He, no wonder they wanted to let them wander around until noon, if someone followed, the two girls would definitely not be able to stand the two girls wandering around for so long, and there should be some movement.

"I think there must be bad people in the family!" Xia Yun said with certainty.

"Let's go!" Ran'er grabbed Xia Yun's hand and ran back.

"Ran'er, where are you taking me?" Xia Yun asked while running with Ran'er.That evil woman ran away, she still wanted to buy peony cakes, why did Ran Er drag her away.

"I'm afraid more than one person will follow us!"

"No way, what else?"

"Do you still remember the night when Uncle Zhang was attacked? No, there were a group of unknown black clothes before that woman appeared!"

"Oh my god, run!"

Two petite figures shuttled through the crowd, and sure enough, there were four or five men in black trailing behind, following the two girls around in the crowd with difficulty...

"Brother! It's not an option to follow them like this!" one of the men in black said out of breath.

There were people coming and going on the street, and it was indeed a bit tiring to follow the two girls around like this without being noticed.

"It's the big brother, if you turn around like this again, you might lose everyone." Another person panted and echoed.

The big brother they were talking about was also upset. The two little girls kept going around, so it was obviously pointless to follow up like this.

"Go and tie them up!" the elder brother ordered after thinking for a while.Since you can't follow up, then just tie it back and make a business trip.

"Yes!"

The four took orders and surrounded Ran'er and Xia Yun.

Ran'er and Xia Yun couldn't run anymore, and were about to stop to catch their breath, when they saw several men in black surrounding them.

Sure enough, someone followed, and before they had time to catch their breath, the two turned around and ran again.

While running, he shouted, "Help, help!"

But this call is just to make way for pedestrians on the road.

They are all ordinary people with the surname of Bai. As far as the posture of those men in black is concerned, if you think about it, you have to check your own strength first.

"Brother, you are not arranging people to protect us!" Xia Yun cried helplessly, but the man in black had already grabbed his arm.

Ran'er saw that she was about to be caught.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ran'er didn't dare to use the angelic power left in her body.

While resigning himself to his fate and waiting to be caught, Ran'er saw a black figure jumping past him in a ramming way, knocking down the person who grabbed Xia Yun, but he put his arms around Xia Yun's waist, preventing Xia Yun from following and falling fall.

Xia Yun looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him in surprise.

"It's you?" Xia Yun exclaimed, this person was actually the barbarian walking in the rain that he accidentally saw when he was sheltering from the rain in the ruined temple.

Herman was also shocked when he saw that the girl he hugged was actually the oriental girl that had been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Before he had time to say more, two men in black had already slashed at him with knives.

Herman put down Xia Yun, advanced instead of retreating, and rushed towards the two of them.

As the distance got closer, Herman suddenly knelt down and slid, passing between the two men in black. At the same time, he opened his arms, and the two men in black stumbled instantly.

Herman stood up, rubbed his palms, and said coldly, "You guys, where did you come from? Go back there!"

The felled man in black was very unconvinced when he saw Herman standing proudly in front of him. A carp jumped up and slashed at Herman with a knife.

Herman dodged the sharp edge, jumped, kicked the man in black's knee with his left foot, stepped on the man in black's knife-holding arm with his right foot, and hit the face with the heel of his left foot.

He took a step back with his left foot, stepped on the shoulder of the man in black, made a backflip, hooked the man's neck, and used the force of his body to make him fall backwards. Take a palm shot.

The man in black didn't know where the knife went, so he just covered his neck with his hands and couldn't breathe for a long time.

Seeing this, the other four in black slashed at Herman with their knives.

In Xia Yun's exclamation, Herman flew forward, kicked in the air, and kicked one of them directly into the crowd of onlookers.

Xia Yun saw Herman flying up and down among the three men in black, taking him by surprise, attacking them unprepared, coming and going like a shadow, like a phantom...

It was so exciting, Xia Yun felt that he hadn't seen enough, and the remaining three men in black fell to the ground and howled.

Seeing the frequent praise from the surrounding audience, Herman felt that this fight was very aggrieved. Xiao Xiao, who obviously could have solved it without any effort, could only use fists and kicks to solve it forcefully because he couldn't use magic power.

"Aren't you going to roll yet?" Herman said in a deep voice to the five men in black who fell on the ground.

The five people knew that the other party was showing mercy, and they didn't dare to do anything wrong, so they struggled to get up, supported each other and fled quickly.

Xia Yun made a grimace at the direction the five people were fleeing from, and said mischievously, "Someone steps on the uneven road!"

This little action caught Herman's eyes, such a cute oriental girl...

Ran'er always felt that Herman had a strange feeling.

But, after all, they saved her and Xia Yun, Ran Er bit the bullet and walked up to Herman, before she had time to thank her.

Herman said in a voice that only Ran'er could hear: "Hi, angel, we meet again!"

Ran'er stared wide-eyed, with an incredulous expression on her face, looking at Herman in surprise, who is this person?Why don't I have any impression of myself?

But Herman's voice came from next to his ear.

"Your fate is really great. After receiving my king's palm, you didn't die..."
