Spirit rhinoceros

Chapter 45

Knocking on the door of Lingxi's room, but no one answered, Mo Long's heart tightened: Could it be that she sneaked off somewhere again?As soon as he thought about it in his mind, he put more strength into his hands, the door was not fastened at all, and couldn't hold back his strength, so he pushed it open with a bang.

Lingxi, who was riding on the window looking out of the house, was taken aback, turned around and saw Mo Long coming in, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"I should ask you this, and I didn't answer even knocking on the door." Seeing that she was still inside, Mo Long felt relieved, seeing her funny face, "You, are you planning to go out and become a snitch?"

"No, no." Lingxi beckoned him to the window, pointed to a figure on the street and asked, "You have good eyesight, help me see, is it the old man who was thrown on the lake?"

"Get out so soon?"

Mo Long was dubious, pulled her head aside, and leaned over to look - not far away, there was indeed a gray and white old man under the cover of the wine, looking at his appearance and attire, he was indeed the same person as before.

"Is it him?" Lingxi tilted his head and asked.

"There are eight images."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lingxi jumped up and went out, but was held back by him: "What are you doing?"

"Talk to him." Lingxi said anxiously, "He also wants to enter Tianjing Villa, and I also want to enter Tianjing Villa. With Xiaofeng, three cobblers are worth one..."

Mo Long interrupted her mercilessly: "These words are mediocre's words to comfort themselves, in fact, not to mention three, even three hundred cobblers will not come up with a really good idea. "

Consonance was a little annoyed.

Mo Long was indifferent, and said slowly: "Good medicine tastes bitter, but honest advice hurts ears. It's not that the more people there are, the easier it will be. You should be carrying a big man on the pier."

Although he really wanted to refute, but he had to admit that what he said was reasonable, Lingxi could only stare at him: "If you want to say that I am stupid, just say so."

"I didn't say anything." Mo Long slowed down, "But there is something I want to ask you..."

"Ok?"

"Your brother, why are you the only one looking for him? What about the others in Donghai? Doesn't your sister care about him?"

"of course not!"

Lingxi immediately retorted, and then stopped talking.She silently walked to the window, closed the window, and then turned around with a very solemn expression: "They, including my sister, think he is dead."

Mo Long immediately remembered what Dong Lichang had said - "The reverse scale is white, and it has been separated from the body for a long time, and the green is dim. This dragon may have died long ago." He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

"But I think he's still alive." Lingxi bit his lips, "Probably because my brother and I are identical twins, I can feel that he's still alive."

"Your brother... Lingjun, right?"

Consonance nodded.

"Why did he leave Donghai? Did he sneak out like you?" Mo Long asked.

Lingxi was silent for a while, with a sad expression on his face: "My brother is the only eldest son in the family. My sister thought that he would be in charge of the East China Sea when he became an adult, so she taught him very harshly. Later, my brother did something wrong and broke out. Misfortune came, my sister wanted to punish him severely, and the two collided, after which my brother broke out of the water mansion and refused to come back."

"Isn't your sister looking for him?"

"I've looked for it. He has been avoiding my sister. Donghai has a lot of affairs, and my sister can't stay outside for too long, so I let someone secretly protect him. My brother is very smart and dumped all those people. Since then, there has been no news of him." " Lingxi paused, his voice choked up, "Later, brother's name on Yukui changed color..."

"Changed color?"

"Well, the Yukui of our Dragon Clan is very spiritual. When someone dies, the name on the Yukui will also turn pale. I heard that my sister sent out all the people that Donghai could send out at that time, and I was looking for it outside. I have been looking for him for three years, but I still haven't found him." Lingxi's voice became deeper and deeper, "Because of this, my sister has always blamed herself. I can't help, and I feel very uncomfortable watching her."

"That's why you want to find your brother by yourself." Mo Long leaned on his elbow and looked at her sideways.

She nodded heavily: "I think, he is still alive, I can definitely find him!"

For this unfounded and foolish self-confidence, Mo Long really wanted to pour cold water on her, but looking at her serious eyes, he choked for a moment, and his words became: "Take your time, there will always be a way to find it." his."

Hearing what he said, Lingxi was very happy, his eyes lit up and said: "You also think I will find him, don't you!"

It was too late for Mo Long to change his words, so he had to say: "There are many ways to find someone, don't use the stupidest one."

"I ask you to help me, isn't it smart?" Lingxi smiled.

Mo Long was speechless. After thinking about it, she seemed to have done such a clever thing.

In the next few days, everything in Shuangying Town was as usual, and the bustling streets did not change because of the melancholy of the idlers.

Lingxi went to the Mirror Lake several times, but all of them came back without success. Mo Long refuted the several ideas that she racked her brains, and the refutations were well-founded, so she could only be convinced.Xia Houfeng's condition was even more serious. First, he went to Jinghu Lake every morning to wait until it was dark; later, he refused to come back even after dark. Bring him some food.

The days when he couldn't think of an idea passed quickly, and seeing that tomorrow was the reopening day of Tianjing Villa, Lingxi was wandering aimlessly on the street, and accidentally ran into an old man in gray robe, who was walking with his head bowed in gloom.

"You..." Lingxi hurriedly greeted him, "I recognize you, you were thrown on the ice that day."

The grey-robed old man's complexion became more and more ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way!"

"I'm not trying to laugh at you," Lingxi hurriedly explained, "I, like you, also want to enter Tianjing Villa, but I can't think of a way."

The gray-robed old man looked pale and asked, "Why do you want to go in?"

"Looking for someone. What about you?"

"Find a herb."

"Are you going tomorrow?" Lingxi actually wanted to ask, did he come up with another idea?

The old man stared at her vigilantly, and asked without answering, "Who do you want to find?"

"Lannan, I heard that she lives in the villa." Lingxi replied truthfully.

Apparently feeling that her goal was unattainable, the old man sneered: "So what if we found her?"

"Ask her something." Dissatisfied with his attitude, Lingxi also asked, "What do you want medicinal materials for?"

"Rescue!"

"Save who?"

The old man said sullenly: "...my old lady."

Hearing this, Lingxi was taken aback: "Is she sick?"

The gray-robed old man raised his head and looked at the glacier in the distance, with an angry expression on his face: "The doctor said she couldn't make it through this winter. But she promised me that she would stay with me for 50 years."

"How long have you been together?" Lingxi asked cautiously.

"48 years, three months and twelve days."

"That's two years away..." Lingxi couldn't figure it out in his head, "No, it's still more than a year away, right?"

"Not even a day! Not even an hour!"

It was obviously a wrinkled old man, but now he looked like a child playing a temper tantrum. Lingxi stared at him blankly, until someone behind her held her shoulders, then she came back to her senses, turned her head and looked, but it was Mo Long.

Mo Long saw Lingxi standing with the old man from a distance, fearing that she would be used by others for her foolishness, she hurried over and wanted to pull her away.

Lingxi refused to leave, and asked the old man, "What kind of medicine do you want? If I think of a way to get in, I can help you find it."

The old man was taken aback: "...the bark of the redwood is more than 3000 years old."

Lingxi nodded: "I remember."

Mo Long frowned, and dragged Lingxi away, dissatisfied and reprimanded: "What are you promiseing, you have nowhere to go, and you still have time to meddle in other people's business."

"I didn't agree..." Lingxi defended, "I mean, if I can go in, I can help him find the medicinal materials, isn't it just a matter of chance."

If it had been Xiaofeng, Mo Long would have kicked her directly, but he had no choice but to tap her on the forehead with his finger: "You don't know how light it is when you're holding it against a goose feather, and you don't know how heavy it is when you press it against a millstone."

Lingxi didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"Forget it if you're stupid." Mo Long didn't bother to explain.

A panting voice came from behind: "Girl, wait!"

Lingxi turned around, and it was the old man chasing him, and stopped quickly.Mo Long stood in front of Lingxi calmly, looking at the old man coldly: "What's the matter?"

The old man stood still, with desperate madness in his eyes: "Girl, you want to help me, right? I have a favor right now, and you can help me!"

Lingxi just wanted to ask, but was stopped by Mo Long.

The old man ignored Mo Long at all, and looked at Lingxi eagerly: "I found out that someone is going to enter Tianjing Villa tomorrow."

"Is there someone?" Lingxi was stunned.

"On weekdays, people from inside and outside Tianjing Villa cannot enter at all. It is extremely rare to invite people into the villa." The old man leaned forward and was blocked by Mo Long in disgust. He looks like he entered the villa."

Mo Long snorted coldly.

Lingxi looked at the old man in amazement, and said after a while: "Your wife has one life, and that man has one life too. How can you do that."

"I only care about her, what else has other people's life and death to do with me!" the old man said angrily.

Ignoring him, Mo Long took Lingxi and left.Lingxi was still surprised, and followed him ignorantly, until when she entered the inn, she almost tripped over the threshold of the inn before recovering.

"Why are you still in a daze?!" Mo Long said angrily, "If I wasn't here, would you have already discussed with that old man how to kill people and set fire?"

Lingxi was annoyed: "Do I look so stupid?"

"It's not stupid, it's just easy to deceive!" Mo Long was also annoyed, "Who is that old man? Where does he live? Who is there in the family? What kind of business do he do? Swindling or robbing? Have you asked clearly?! You just follow people talking..."

"I..." Lingxi wanted to speak, but found no time to interject.

Mo Long kept admonishing her: "...If I hadn't stopped you, he would have coaxed you away just now. I can imagine it with the hairs on the back of my neck, but he suggested that you do it, and you will be blamed if you kill someone. The one who benefits is him..."

Dongli Chang just turned around from the back cabinet and brought a bowl of steaming sesame glutinous rice balls, which he begged the cook to make just now. "What's the matter? One face is blue and the other is white with anger." He looked at the two of them and asked.

Mo Long said angrily, "Ask her."

Already scolded to the point of burning, Lingxi didn't say a word, just walked in and went straight back to the house.

"What's the matter?" Dong Li had no choice but to ask Mo Long.

Mo Long briefly said what happened just now, but was still annoyed: "Tell me, old man, is she not serious in her actions, and she has no guard against people at all!"

Dong Lichang looked in the direction of Lingxi's wing, making sure she couldn't hear her, and said slowly, "If she wasn't like this, how could she have been deceived by us?"

Hearing this, Mo Long was at a loss for words, and his complexion was not very good-looking, and it took him a long time to say embarrassingly: "It can't be considered a lie."

Dong Lichang shrugged and lowered his head to scoop up a round glutinous rice ball. Just as he was about to eat it, the smelling little meat ball quickly jumped up the bench and then onto the table, squatting next to the bowl, staring at the glutinous rice balls in the wooden spoon ...

"Ah..." Dong Lichang couldn't bear it, and fed it one, "Little guy, why are you everywhere!"
