Chapter 38
After burning the deed, Ah Ran stared at the brazier in a daze, her face was finally flushed by the flames, and some blood color returned.
Father Yan urged him to go back to Liulan.Ah Ran said that she had left something in the courtyard, and begged Father Yan to let her go back and pick it up.
"You think I'm as idle as you are!" Father Yan was very impatient, "What's missing, I'll make up for it later. Still can't bear to part with your few taels of silver? You just want to use these things in the future, and I'm afraid there's no use for them." it took!"
Ah Ran shrank her neck in fright, but still begged softly.At this time, Shao Yao walked towards them quickly, glanced at A Ran, and whispered a few words in Old Yan's ear.
Ah Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was extremely grateful to Shao Yao in her heart.
Shao Yao's sudden appearance at this time was actually entrusted by him.Aran found Shaoyao yesterday to ask for this matter. For this, he gave him a hand stove and clothes with iron noodles.Shao Yao didn't want to agree at first, but seeing that the stove was really delicate and cute, and the clothes were made of fine silk, she finally agreed.
After hearing what Shaoyao said, Old Man Yan really showed embarrassment.He glanced at A Ran resentfully, and waved his hand at him angrily: "Go and get the things first, you must come back within a stick of incense, wait for me here!" Then, he hurriedly left with Shao Yao.
After getting permission, Ah Ran hurried to the direction of the small courtyard.Not long after, he entered a path paved with gravel. He lowered his body, drilled into the rockery beside the path, reached out and dug inside for a while, and took out a box.
This box was about the same size as the one he had strapped to his body, just like the one the head of the escort had once shown to blind man Qi.Ah Ran made a slight comparison, breathed a sigh of relief, put the box in her arms, and ran forward quickly.
After turning a corner, a stone arch bridge was erected in the air on the dry river.Panting, Ah Ran got into the bridge hole, looked around, but saw no one.
Acacia... didn't come?
Ah Ran hugged the box and sat silently for a moment.Many questions lingered in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out, but the person who could answer him didn't come.
I don't know how long I waited, but it must have exceeded the time of a stick of incense.Ah Ran's legs were already numb, she stood up staggeringly, and moved out step by step.
So, is this also a lie to me?
Aran smiled wryly.He recalled the picture he had just seen with "Lovesickness" written on it.Although the person in the portrait was handsome, he was not as beautiful as the Xiangsi he knew.
Qiao Xiangsi was lying to him.
When the truth was just discovered, the short-lived dream in Ah Ran's heart was shattered in an instant, revealing the shadow of disappointment and anger underneath.But gradually, when the paper sale contract was swallowed by the flames, Ah Ran was no longer angry, but instead felt a sense of "as expected".
Such a beautiful person, such a beautiful promise, is really just a dream.
It's ridiculous that for a moment, he actually dreamed that his dream would come true.
On the morning when Qiao Xiangsi left, Ah Ran watched the ray of sunlight penetrating the window lattice, and in the floating dust, he seemed to see the scene that Qiao Xiangsi described to him.
It was a small noodle restaurant with a thick and simple signboard. There were a few tables and chairs outside the door, and the hot aroma wafted from the open door.In the noodle shop, Ah Ran was holding a tray and putting a bowl of freshly baked Yangchun noodles on the table.Next to him was a very nice guy, taking money from diners with a pomp and complacency.
This scene is full of things that Ah Ran likes, such as Yangchun noodles, money, and Qiao Xiangsi.
Yet none of this is true.
In fact, Aran didn't eat Yangchun noodles, and lost most of the money in his hand, and Qiao Xiangsi—Aran didn't even know the real name of this person.
But he still wanted to see him again.
Not for questioning, not for accusation, just want to see him.
Aran walked out of the bridge hole with one deep foot and one shallow foot, lowered her head and hugged the box.After walking a few steps, he bumped into someone suddenly.
"Hey, don't you watch the road?" The man seemed very angry, "Little idiot, what if you get lost or fall down?"
Ah Ran raised her head in astonishment, the person who was blaming her in front of her was Qiao Xiangsi who had been waiting for a long time!
"You... are you here?" For a moment, thousands of words were crowded in his throat, but Ah Ran finally only asked softly.
Qiao Xiangsi said as if nothing had happened, "I've arrived long ago. If you weren't here, I went around looking for you."
Aran looked at him quietly.Qiao Xiangsi's face was still so exciting, but this time, Ah Ran quickly looked away: "You didn't lie to me?"
Qiao Xiangsi blushed, shook her head and said, "No!"
"Really?" Ash asked.
Qiao Xiangsi insisted: "Really not!"
So Aran laughed.The smile is a little faded.
"This is the 'World's Greatest Treasure' that Liu Lan gave me." Aran took the burden from her body, handed the box to Qiao Xiangsi, opened the box she had hidden earlier, and took out a bronze medal from inside.
"This bronze medal was given to me by Hero Meng. Take it, go to any Qiao's store, or find someone from Tianmen, and you can ask them for a favor."
Ah Ran wanted to hand over the bronze medal to Qiao Xiangsi. Qiao Xiangsi was studying the box containing the "Treasure of the World", and waved her hand impatiently: "What do I use this for, you keep it."
Aran said: "The treasure has been stolen, Nuanxiang Pavilion will definitely send people to track it down." As he spoke, Aran picked up a stone from the ground, put it in an empty box, weighed it, and wrapped it in the furoshiki given by Liu Lan , back on the body again.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Xiangsi asked, suddenly he felt a little bad.
Ah Ran asked an inexplicable question: "Xiangsi, are you willing to be the waiter?"
"The waiter?" Qiao Xiangsi was extremely surprised, "Why should I be the waiter?"
It turns out that this is not right either.
Aran couldn't help but want to laugh.He was not usually a dreamer, and occasionally he had a daydream, but it was full of flaws and made people laugh.
Qiao Xiangsi will not be the waiter in Ah Ran's noodle restaurant, he and Ah Ran are not in the same way.
"Stop laughing. When you get out, you can laugh as much as you want." Qiao Xiangsi stretched out her hand to A Ran and coughed dryly, "Cough, come and grab me, and I'll take you out."
Ash took a step back.
Qiao Xiangsi's complexion sank slightly.
"Help me give the treasure to Hero Meng. He is a very good person, and the girl he likes must be very good. This treasure is a gift from me for their marriage." A Ran said.
Qiao Xiangsi frowned upon hearing this: "Why don't you deliver it yourself?!"
"Xiangsi, I..." Ah Ran smiled at him, "I can't go anymore."
"What nonsense!"
"It's true." Ah Ran took a deep breath, "I—"
How could Qiao Xiangsi accept it, and immediately said decisively: "I will take you away!"
"Go? You can't go anymore."
A thin figure spun around from the shadow behind the tree.
