This time, Xue Shanhui immediately changed his att.i.tude towards Wu Qinghe and became much nicer to him.
At night, Xue Shanhui invited Wu Qinghe out for a drink.
Shu Ruyue frowned when she heard this.
“Why do they have to drink?!” Shu Ruyue pouted and muttered to Li Xiaoran, “Tell me, what’s so good about drinking?!”
When Li Xiaoran looked at Shu Ruyue, she wanted to laugh.
Li Xiaoran looked at Shu Ruyue and said, “Shu Ruyue, something’s wrong with you!”
Shu Ruyue was shocked when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Huh? What’s wrong with me? Did you realize that I was poisoned? How did I get poisoned?”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she pretended to nod thoughtfully.
“That’s right. You were poisoned! You were poisoned by something called a man!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoran laughed out loud.
At this moment, Shu Ruyue realized that Li Xiaoran was teasing her.
“Xiaoran, how can you be this?! What do you mean I was poisoned by a man? I’m just concerned about Wu Qinghe!”
Li Xiaoran asked meaningfully, “Then why do you care about Wu Qinghe? We have many people we need to care about here, such as Yin Qing and Ma San, who we brought back today. Why don’t you care about these people? Why do you only care about Wu Qinghe, who was called out to drink?”
When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she was stunned for a moment before finding a good excuse for herself.
“That’s because I’ve gone through thick and thin with Wu Qinghe. Naturally, our relationship is extraordinary!”
Li Xiaoran said, “Oh, gone through thick and thin with him?! Whatever you say! In that case, you should go find your soulmate! I have to go back and accompany my man! After all, I haven’t accompanied my man for a long time!” Then, Li Xiaoran stood up to leave.
Shu Ruyue was alone in the courtyard.
There was silence. Even the annoying chirping of insects had disappeared. “Our relationship is extraordinary, so it’s normal for me to be worried about
Wu Qinghe!”
After saying this, Shu Ruyue really ran out to look for Wu Qinghe.
When Li Xiaoran happened to see Shu Ruyue climbing over the wall, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Luo Cheng put down the things in his hand and asked Li Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, is there something you’re happy about? Why don’t you tell me so that I can be happy too?!”
Li Xiaoran replied, “What else can I be happy about? I’m laughing at Shu Ruyue. She clearly has feelings for Wu Qinghe, but she hasn’t realized it yet!”
Hearing this, Luo Cheng smiled.
“Perhaps he hasn’t figured it out yet! He’ll understand eventually. It depends on when Wu Qinghe exposes it himself!”
Li Xiaoran smiled and said, “Just you wait! There will be an opportunity. Perhaps one day, Shu Ruyue will come to her senses!” Then, Li Xiaoran changed the topic.
“Now that the matter of the coal mine has come to an end and we’ve found Ma San, should we continue to walk around the surrounding villages? Now that we have the people from Nanping Town, we can go back and train them. Then, we can open the shop in town.”
Luo Cheng thought about Li Xiaoran’s words.
“I’ve already reported the matter of the coal mine to Father, but I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for a while before I get a reply. With Luo Han and Xu Wenjing around, there won’t be any problems. On the other hand, I want to continue looking at the mountainous area. Not only is it beautiful, but perhaps I’ll find another gold or silver mine somewhere!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she was immediately amused.
“Do you think gold and silver mines are that easy to obtain, like cabbages planted in the fields? Do you think you can encounter them just by going out?” Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“In the past, I naturally wouldn’t have such thoughts! But now, don’t I have you? I have a feeling that as long as I follow you, I’ll definitely find something! Don’t forget, when I followed you to Eagle Village back then, didn’t I discover that those people were using eagles to find the treasure-hunting rat and the gold mine? I think this matter might ultimately be on you, Xiaoran!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was amused.
“I told you, I’m not that lucky. Why do all of you think I brought good luck?!” Li Xiaoran was very exasperated!
Why did she inadvertently confirm her reputation as a lucky charm?
Wasn’t this a persona that could easily collapse?
Why was her reputation getting more and more stabilized?
Luo Cheng said happily, “How can you not be a lucky star? You were the one who said that you wanted to play at the waterfall for the night! You were also the one who met Ye Shengnan! Without you, this coal mine would have nothing to do with us!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded.
Why was she blamed for this?!
Li Xiaoran changed the topic and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore! Let’s talk about something practical! Send these five people to Golden Sun Town, but Yin Qing has to follow them. He also has to let Zi Cheng brew medicine for him every day. Even Ma San has to be brought along. He has to undergo acupuncture every day!”
Luo Cheng said, “You gave them six days, right? Let’s rest here! When those people come, I’ll arrange for someone to send them back. As for Yin Qing and Ma San, let them follow us! Coincidentally, I also have to wait for two people to come over. When the time comes, we’ll set off together!”
Li Xiaoran asked curiously, “Wait for two people? Who are they?”
Luo Cheng replied with a smile, “Someone who’s good at identifying gold mines, iron mines, and coal mines!”
“Husband, are you serious?” Li Xiaoran thought that Luo Cheng was joking, but
she didn’t expect him to have already made arrangements.
Luo Cheng reminded, “Of course, but this matter has to be kept a secret. When those two people come, just tell the outside world that they’re here to pick herbs!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and remembered this.
For the next few days, everyone went out to shop.
In just a few days, the group actually finished the pick of crispy plums they had bought previously.
Li Xiaoran said reluctantly after eating the last few plums, “Sigh, I have to say, these plums are really delicious! I heard that his family has other fruits as well.
If only we could eat them often in the future!”
Luo Cheng had also tasted the crispy plums and liked them very much.
“Why don’t we go take a look now? We can buy some crispy plums to bring back and let our family try them!”
