Ma'am, I was wrong

The hairpin box was made of wood, the most common wood. If it were an expensive item, Liu Yanshu would not give it a second glance. However, this thing that only girls would use immediately aroused her interest.

At that time, she thought it was Ayan who liked her, but she never thought that it was someone else.

Thinking of this, Liu Yanshu couldn't help but shake her head at her own stupidity.He raised his hand and took the hairpin box to the table and put it on it. He hesitated for a moment. It was Ayan's thing.

If she opened it rashly, she would probably do it... However, just looking at it without opening it made her want to move. In an instant, Liu Yanshu was in a dilemma.

Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door, and Liu Yanshu's hand on the hairpin box moved out of control. If nothing else, something unexpected happened the next second.

The hairpin box was thrown to the ground with a bang, and the box body immediately split into two halves.

When her eyes fell on the hairpin, Liu Yanshu paused. No matter how she thought about it, she never thought that this was her favorite hairpin. If she hadn't met again today, she wouldn't have remembered that she had ever liked this hairpin.

After all, it's just a young person's liking.

There are too many things in life that can completely submerge the love that she once had, until it disappears. Liu Yanshu doesn't know how she keeps this hairpin Ayan with her, let alone how she protects it so well.

Her expression was stunned involuntarily, and then Liu Yanshu quickly knelt down to pick up the hairpin and put it in her bag. She just pretended that nothing had happened and that she had never seen the hairpin.

Putting away the baggage quickly, Liu Yanshu picked it up, looked at the door that kept banging, took a deep breath, and walked towards the door.

"Who is it..." Liu Yanshu walked over and shouted, "It's coming, it's coming, stop knocking."

The moment she pulled the door bolt, Liu Yanshu felt an inexplicable fear in her heart, and her hands on the door couldn't stop trembling. She didn't understand why she was afraid.

I have obviously experienced several life and death crises in the past and survived them all. Why am I so scared today? Perhaps it is because the previous life and death crises were all built in a moment.

She couldn't think, couldn't choose to avoid, she could only choose to die. Since she was born to die, she had nothing to fear. However, it was different now. She had more important things to accomplish, and she couldn't die. I don’t want to die either.

Holding the inkstone from the desk in one hand, he slowly opened the door with the other. The moment the door was opened, the person outside the room rushed into the room and fell straight to the ground.

"Xiaodouzi?" Liu Yanshu exclaimed, with a slight apology on her face. She really didn't expect that the person coming was Xiaodouzi. Xiaodouzi would come at such a frightening time.

'Ouch...' Xiaodouzi faced the ground, rolled a few times, and finally made a painful, weak and long sound, with a look of pain on his face.

He came to save people with good intentions, but he unexpectedly fell down. Thanks to his brother Liu Yanshu, the feeling was so real that it was hard to describe.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yanshu quickly put down the inkstone in her hand, squatted down, helped Xiaodouzi up, thought for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Xiaodouzi, why are you here?"

Xiaodouzi stood up straight, rubbed Huahua's butt, and said with a painful expression: "My master asked me to come to you, what about the others?"

When he came, there was no one in the courtyard, and the silence was eerie. He knocked one by one and realized that there was someone in the house. "They're all gone!"

Liu Yanshu said in an extremely calm tone.

"Gone?" Hearing this, Xiaodouzi's eyes were slightly startled, filled with disbelief, and asked doubtfully: "What about Xie Yan?" The master specially asked him to come here, and he made a special trip to find Xie Yan.

If he also leaves, wouldn't his trip be in vain?Xiaodouzi's heart was thinking rapidly, thinking about what to do next!
Liu Yanshu shook her head slightly, pursed her lips, and said warmly: "I don't know!" She clearly knew the whereabouts of everyone, but she didn't know where Ayan had gone.

"You don't know?" Xiaodouzi's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Liu Yanshu in disbelief.

Liu Yanshu nodded, responded, and then said with absolute certainty: "I really don't know."

At this time, Xiaodouzi's heart was completely cold. However, looking at the deserted courtyard, he felt a little pity in his heart. "Why don't you follow me to Tongrentang? There will be no traces there for the time being. Come here now." It looks like an extremely safe place.

Besides, maybe you can find Xie Yan there too! "

Hearing this, Liu Yanshu quickly glanced at Xiaodouzi with her sad eyes, nodded, but did not reject Xiaodouzi's proposal.

"Why don't you clean up and salute first?" Xiaodouzi pointed at the messy room and reminded the people in front of him.

Liu Yanshu was stunned for a moment, her expression stagnated slightly, and she said softly: "No, maybe I will come back when, let's wait until then!"

Seeing the extremely haggard expression of the person in front of him, and thinking of his radiant appearance in the past, Xiaodouzi didn't say anything else. Anyway, in his eyes, Tongrentang had everything, not lacking a few pieces of clothing.

Standing at the door, Liu Yanshu looked at the door that was slowly closing. Scenes from the past flashed through her mind, including the figure returning home in the night, the figure playing with Ayan, and the figure she brought with her. The joy of the arrival of the Duke's family, and the joyful appearance that day.

Slowly turning around, Liu Yanshu closed her eyes with a hint of sadness, and followed Xiaodouzi away from here. Not long after the two left, the door was kicked open, and it was obvious that the visitor was not malicious.

Xiaodouzi did not take Liu Yanshu to the bustling streets in the past, but walked through the small streets and alleys. The shadows of the houses continued to recede behind him, and the sadness immersed in his heart slowly faded away.

Liu Yanshu followed Xiaodouzi every step of the way. As for why she had to go to Tongrentang instead of leaving directly, it was because she knew that she might know Ayan's whereabouts only if she met Mr. Cao.

If you blindly search by yourself, you might find something else. If you want to find Ayan quickly, you must meet Mr. Cao.

The two quietly walked into Tongrentang from the backyard. As everyone fled in all directions, Tongrentang today did not have the usual crowds of people coming and going, and it looked rare and peaceful.

"Ah, you're here, old man. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Mr. Li ran out of nowhere with a bundle slung on his shoulder. Looking at the clothes, it was obvious that he had been prepared for a long time.
