Chapter 36
Chapter 36
I'm sorry, Xiangsi, I can't go.
Ah Ran apologized to Acacia in her heart.
I'm afraid Xiangsi still doesn't know that every prostitute in Nuanxiang Pavilion has a contract of prostitution.As long as the contract is in hand, Nuanxiang Pavilion will be entangled endlessly no matter where the world is.Aran thought.Although Xiangsi's family used to be officials, they are now in decline. Even with the help of old acquaintances, they are still living better than ordinary people, and it is difficult to resist the pursuit of Nuanxiang Pavilion.If you want Xiangsi to live a carefree life, you must destroy the deed of sale.
At the same time, that treasure must be handed over to Hero Meng.
Ah Ran wrung her fingers, thinking one by one what she would do in three days.
He wants to steal the treasure to repay the hero for saving his life; then he will destroy Xiangsi's contract of sale and give him back his freedom.
As for himself...
Aran looked out the window.The morning sun was rising, and the fresh sunlight was shining on the last dead leaf of the elm tree in the courtyard, dyeing it with a layer of golden luster, everything was bright and warm.
It's just that the leaf was so shriveled, the years hastily drained its water, and the wind and rain ruthlessly destroyed its life. It had come to an end and finally couldn't bear the weight of this ray of sunshine.
It shook slightly, and finally withered.
At noon that day, Ah Ran was brought to Liu Lan again.
His body hasn't recovered yet, but since Old Man Yan let him go, he can only bite the bullet and walk to the place with a deep kick and a shallow kick.Arriving in Liulan's room, Ah Ran could barely stand, and actually sweated in the bleak cold wind in late autumn, soaking the wound hotly.
Seeing this, Liulan cleaned Aran's body with "good intentions", and carefully scrubbed the dead skin on the wound with coarse salt grains.
Aran whimpered softly.Although the pain made his eyes go black, he didn't scream in pain, but whined like a wounded kitten.
"Aran's voice is really nice." Liu Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was listening to the most beautiful and moving music in the world.It wasn't until Ah Ran passed out from the pain that she licked her lips unsatisfactorily: "A Ran, from now on, I want you to call me like this every day."
Ah Ran's consciousness was free, and he was half asleep and half awake, when he heard this sentence suddenly, he was startled awake again.He didn't dare to open his eyes, fearing that Liulan would continue to torture him like this, so he pretended to be lethargic and adjusted his breathing carefully.
Playing dead is one of Ah Ran's most proficient skills.You must know that the prostitutes in Nuanxiang Pavilion are also protected by Nuanxiang Pavilion, killing the prostitutes here is not like other places where you can just lose money.Therefore, when Ah Ran couldn't stand the torture of the guests, he would choose to pretend to be dead and "live" after the guests left.
At this moment, Ah Ran was pretending to be dead.He is very careful and works very hard.Liu Lan is a master of martial arts, and is more sensitive to people's heartbeat and breathing than ordinary people, so it is not easy to deceive.Fortunately, Ah Ran has studied hard and practiced hard for many years, and finally got the better of her skills, and successfully fooled the past.
Liu Lan looked at Ah Ran's body alone for a while.Ah Ran insisted desperately, not only physically, but also mentally strengthened her "dead" state.In the end, even he himself began to suspect that he was "dead". Finally, Liulan picked him up from the bathtub and gently put him on the bed to wipe it clean.
"Aran is so good." Liulan patted Aran's head rewardingly, like petting a fluffy puppy.Ah Ran suddenly remembered the kiss that was lightly printed on her forehead when Xiangsi left this morning, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart, feeling inexplicably sad.
There was a knock on the door.Liu Lan leaves.
Ah Ran secretly opened his eyes, blinked, and a drop of tears flowed down his face.
It's so strange, I didn't even cry when I was just enduring the pain, why did I suddenly cry just thinking about lovesickness?
Ah Ran suspected that there might be something wrong with her eyes.However, at this moment, Liulan's voice was suddenly heard, as if he was walking towards the bedroom.He had no time to think about it, and hastily wiped away the tear stain, still closing his eyes and pretending to be dead.
"Lord Liulan, treasure—"
A strange voice came.Ah Ran didn't hear footsteps.This person must be a master of qinggong.
Liu Lan said: "He may as well, you can talk about it."
The rubbing sound of the cloth told Ah Ran that besides herself, there were two other people in the room.One is Liu Lan, and the other is the stranger who just spoke.
The man lowered his voice and said: "Lord Liulan, the treasure has been stored in the Acacia Building, where there are densely-spread organs and experts gathered there, and there has never been any mistake. This subordinate has the courage to follow Mao's example and recommends himself. He is willing to follow the Lord and protect the treasure along the way."
Liu Lan laughed "haha" twice, seemingly extremely happy: "You are indeed very courageous and confident."
"Thank you, sir!" The man was flattered by Liu Lan's two words of praise, "Then..."
"Wait, I haven't finished yet. I have another question." There was another sound of fabric being flapped, and Liu Lan seemed to wave his hand.
"Please enlighten me, my lord."
"I want to ask, what are you?!" Liu Lan's voice suddenly became harsh, "Idiot! You know, because of your strict security, no one in the world knew that this thing was in Nuanxiang Pavilion more than ten days ago. ; And now, several groups of people have come to the Acacia Building to visit! Let me know that you protect a dead thing, do you feel that the head is not easy to use, and you want me to unscrew it for you? one?"
There was a sound of tables and chairs being turned, followed by a "dong dong" crash: "Lord Liulan, please spare me! Lord Liulan, please spare me!"
Liu Lan sneered: "Although your head is not very useful, it is quite loud when knocked. It seems that it is hollow inside. It is just suitable for kicking as a ball."
"Dong dong" kowtow sounded continuously.I don't know how many times he kowtowed his head, and I don't know how many bloodstains this person left on the floor. Finally, Liu Lan snorted softly: "Be gentle. Your head is still useful."
The man was overjoyed and thanked Liu Lan for not killing him.Liu Lan only said slowly: "Since you have been guarding the treasure for more than ten days, those so-called knights of the rivers and lakes will take aim at your movements. If I want you to escort the treasure, are you afraid?"
"For Nuanxiang Pavilion, for Master Liulan, the subordinates are willing to go through fire and water!"
"There's no need to talk big words," Liu Lan said coldly, "If Yue Tingsong came to you and asked about your treasure, what would you do?"
It was the first time Ah Ran heard the words "Yue Tingsong", and they were vaguely familiar. Suddenly, he heard the stranger gasp, his voice trembling: "You mean... Yue Daxia?"
"Don't you think I'm asking about any 'Yue Tingsong' who sells pork?" Liu Lan asked back, shaking his head and said, "There is no cure for stupidity."
The man took a deep breath: "If I meet Yue Daxia, I will cut off my meridians immediately!"
"Finally said something human." Liu Lan said, "We will set off in the day after tomorrow. In these two days, you take someone to pack your things, and you must let everyone who finds Nuanxiang Pavilion know that you are going to travel far."
"But..." The man obviously hesitated, "Master Liulan, those Jianghu people are not all mobs. Besides, I heard that the richest man, the Qiao family, offered a sky-high price for this treasure, and the young master of the Qiao family is bound to get it. With such a huge amount of money, In addition, the Changfei Tower and other forces are mixed with good and evil, and Yue Daxia is watching. If they are prepared and know the location of the treasure in advance, I am afraid it will not be appropriate."
"Where is the treasure? How do they know where the treasure is?" Liu Lan asked in surprise, "Are you going to tell them?"
"You mean..." The man finally understood.A Ran who was lying on the bed also woke up at the same time.
Liu Lan wanted to use that person as a bait, and put it in the open to attract the attention of all forces.At the same time, they secretly crossed Chencang and asked another group of people to escort the treasure.
In this way, the team led by this person must have placed false bait—but where would the real treasure be hidden?
As Liu Lan is a person, she will definitely not trust anyone casually.However, he came here all the way, as long as he is not stupid, all forces will firmly link him with the treasure and regard him as an important person.Therefore, Liu Lan would not choose to carry it by himself.
Aran secretly calculated.She always kept in mind that she was "sleeping", so she controlled her eyeballs very carefully to prevent others from discovering her flaws when she was thinking.
The man and Liulan further discussed the plan.Finally, the man said goodbye and left.Ah Ran also slowly opened his eyes after the man left for a stick of incense.
"Aran woke up? Are you hungry? Is it cold?" Liu Lan asked attentively.
Ah Ran was in too much pain just now, and at this moment she was still a little ignorant, thinking about where the treasure was hidden, and really didn't have the energy to answer, so she just shook her head.
"No appetite? That can't be done." Liu Lan approached Ah Ran, "Little Ah Ran wants to help me with a big event, so I can't eat enough."
Could it be that?
Ah Ran couldn't control her heart beating wildly, and took advantage of the situation to pretend to be afraid and cringe.
"Hey, don't be afraid, it's not something that will hurt you." Liu Lan got closer and closer, licked A Ran's left eye through her eyelids, and said in a hoarse voice, "A Ran wants to take care of something for me. A very important treasure. When I get to the place, I will reward Ah Ran well."
"At this time the day after tomorrow, you will wait for me at this place." That night, Ah Ran seriously said to Qiao Xiangsi who sneaked in again.
Qiao Xiangsi didn't see any new wounds on A Ran's body this time, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing what he said, she teased and said, "Is this considered elopement?"
Ah Ran didn't answer, but said: "You must come, I have something very, very important to give you."
Qiao Xiangsi didn't know what she was thinking about, her face flushed, and she muttered: "You still play this game with me, you are really... Forget it, forget it, if you have something important, why not give it to me now, and choose it now." when?"
"I won't be able to get it until then." Aran said seriously, "That kind of thing is exactly the 'treasure under heaven' that Hero Meng is also looking for."
Qiao Xiangsi was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Will you be in danger?"
A Ran shook her head: "No. It was Liu Lan who asked me to hold that treasure. When the time comes, I will just hand it over to you."
Qiao Xiangsi was silent for a long time.
The most precious treasure in the world is the stepping stone for him to become a teacher.He knew that Yue Tingsong, the number one expert in the world, was looking for this treasure, and he also knew that if he could present it, he would definitely win his favor.
Just yesterday, Qiao Xiangsi was still suffering from her lack of strength and poor martial arts, so she couldn't protect the person she wanted to protect well.Nowadays, it is Drowsy and someone sends a pillow, why should he not accept it?
Although the reason why Ah Ran gave the treasure to herself was partly due to her own coaxing.But in the final analysis, if you get the treasure yourself, Aran will also benefit from it, right?
Suppressing the uneasiness that appeared in her heart for some unknown reason, Qiao Xiangsi wrote down the time and place, and nodded emphatically.
One word is for sure.
The author says:
When writing this chapter, I suddenly thought of salted duck, salt-baked chicken... Ah, I want to eat.
