Flower Moon

Chapter 42 Lan Sheng was eaten by fish
Although there was obvious doubt in Tao Yueer's eyes, there was a long-lost light in her pupils - it was a kind of hope for the future.

If he can help him find out the truth, if he can make himself rehabilitated, then she can return to Miaoxiangtang as before, receive a high salary, and raise Hua Ling well, right?

That's much, much better than being a street mouse!

That night, Tao Yueer waited for Hualing to fall asleep, then went out quietly and went straight to Miaoxiangtang.

The backyard of Miaoxiangtang is a two-story well-shaped structure. One side is the lobby where the shop is located, the other three sides are warehouses, and there is a patio in the middle.In the courtyard, there is a huge fish pond, and there is only one fish in the fish pond, with a huge rainbow tail swaying all year round.Enchanting and glamorous, aloof and provocative.

Just like Ruan Yanluo.

Tao Yue'er stayed in Miaoxiangtang for a month, and she never saw anyone feeding the fish, and Lan Sheng didn't let anyone touch it.

Ji Hanyu jumped into the patio with Tao Yueer, and the fish tank was the first thing he saw.

"This fish is so beautiful." Ji Hanyu couldn't help but praised.

Tao Yueer nodded: "The most precious thing in Miaoxiangtang is incense, and the second most precious thing is this fish. This is the feng shui fish of Shopkeeper Ruan."

Ji Hanyu sneered noncommittally, and then took Tao Yueer to search from room to room, but the warehouse on the first floor was turned upside down, and no clues were found.

The second floor is Ruan Yanluo's bedroom and some Xiangtong's rooms, while Lan Sheng's room is in the northwest.

"Since it was Lan Sheng who wronged you, let's go directly to her." Ji Hanyu's eyes flashed coldly, and he asked Tao Yueer to lead the way.

Tao Yue'er used to think it was not good to break into a private house, but when she thought that she had harmed her like this, she no longer had any reason to feel guilty, so she took him upstairs.

Lan Sheng's room was locked from the outside, Tao Yue'er let out a "huh" and lowered her voice, "Will you lock yourself in when you sleep?"

Ji Hanyu shook his head: "Even if I want to, I can't do it, can I? Climb in through the window after locking the door?"

"That's right." Tao Yue'er nodded, "What should I do now?"

"What can we do? Cut it off!" After Ji Hanyu finished speaking, he drew his long sword from his back and slashed at the copper lock.

Tao Yue'er just wanted him not to be impulsive, for fear that the sound would wake up others, but wherever Ji Hanyu's sword energy went, the copper lock didn't even make a sound, and it broke into two pieces.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ji Hanyu picked up the dropped lock, and the whole process was smooth and smooth, without any movement.

Tao Yue'er finally knew what it meant to cut iron like mud.

That's it.

Amidst Tao Yueer's dumbfounded, Ji Hanyu made a "shh" gesture, then gently opened the door and walked in.

Tao Yue'er originally thought that Lan Sheng had done something wrong and was locked up by Ruan Yanluo, but judging from the coldness in the room and the white cloths everywhere, no one had been here for a long time.

What about Lan Sheng?
Tao Yue'er and Ji Hanyu looked at each other in blank dismay, and began to search the room with the help of a weak fire.

Lan Sheng's clothes were all in the closet, her favorite hair accessories were on the dressing table, and there were half-read books on the bedside.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you are going far away.

The two looked around, but found nothing, Ji Hanyu made a retreat gesture, and led Tao Yueer out of the room one after the other.

In the backyard, the sound of water flowing quietly, the two sat by the pool, staring at each other.

—— "Where's Lan Sheng?"

— "How do I know? I haven't even met her."

The eyes of the two met, and they were full of doubts.Exploring the Miaoxiangtang tonight was almost in vain, and nothing was found.This is not in line with the original plan.

At this moment, Tao Yue'er suddenly stared fixedly at a shining spot in the fish pond, which complemented the moonlight and gave off golden light.

Tao Yueer took a closer look and recognized it. It wasn't something else, it was the tail ring that Lan Sheng was wearing like a treasure.No matter what she was doing every day, she would touch this ring, so Tao Yue'er was almost sure that the one in the fish pond was Lan Sheng's ring!

But... what's under the ring?
Tao Yue'er leaned forward, wanting to take a closer look, she took out the fire folder and pointed it at the ring.Her face was almost touching the water.

Only then did she finally see clearly that it was a bone.

Human little finger bone.

"Wow--" With a sound, Tao Yue'er saw a palm-sized mouth full of fangs.Seeing that the mouth was about to bite her, Tao Yue'er suddenly felt that she was pulled up by a huge force again.

Tao Yueer looked at the water surface in shock, only to realize that it was the mouth of the fish just now, planning to bite herself!

If it wasn't for Ji Hanyu, he might not be able to keep his nose.

"What's wrong with you? Do you want to die?" Ji Hanyu frowned and scolded her in a low voice.

Tao Yueer tremblingly pointed at the ring in the water, and said, "That's Lan Sheng's ring, she, she, she...she must have been eaten by a fish!"

"What nonsense! How can fish eat people!" After Ji Hanyu finished speaking, the lights in Ruan Yanluo's room suddenly turned on. She seemed to have noticed something and was about to come out.

Ji Hanyu glanced at it and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

Tao Yue'er persisted, and said: "I must get this ring, and I will prove it to you!"

Ji Hanyu saw that she was a little weak, so he immediately raised his sword, picked up the ring and the bone, and accidentally cut off the fish's tail when the sword energy passed by.

Holding the ring and bone in one hand, Ji Hanyu picked up Tao Yue'er in the other, and flew out of Miaoxiangtang.

And the long sword seemed to be alive, and flew out of the yard with them, and finally returned to the scabbard on his back.

When Ji Hanyu and Tao Yueer returned home, it was already five o'clock.

The house was brightly lit, and in the lobby on the first floor, a lone figure was reflected on the window.He is still reading in the most comfortable position.

Tao Yue'er thinks that Hua Ling is the person she has ever met who likes reading the most.

He reads all kinds of books.

He seems to have all kinds of books.

Tao Yue'er knew that the fact that she left overnight did not escape Hua Ling's eyes, and she simply did not intend to hide it, so she took Ji Hanyu into the house.

Hua Ling looked at them, glanced lazily at the half-burned incense, and said, "How do you explain the time you left ten incense sticks?"

"I..." Tao Yueer was about to confess, but Ji Hanyu interrupted impatiently: "What are you explaining? Tao Yueer is not your maid, you are a person who is raised by her, where does she go? Report to you? Who do you think you are?!"

"You are not welcome here, please go out."

Hua Ling was too lazy to argue with him, so she finished speaking lightly, and then continued to look at Tao Yue'er: "I'll listen to you when he leaves." After speaking, Hua Ling picked up the book again, and flipped through it lightly. .

Tao Yueer looked at Ji Hanyu and hesitated.

Ji Hanyu clasped his hands, and also looked at Tao Yue'er, with a look of "I see how you choose today".
