Chapter 21 Not Good for You
Chapter 21 Not Good for You
Li Mulan looked at the other person, trying to find something familiar from the depths of her memory, but it was in vain. She sighed and looked at Qingyu, "Sister, you two should go out first. I want to talk to this gentleman alone."
Qingyu nodded and nodded slightly to Li Xun. Chu Jie also followed him out, although he was very curious about what Sister Lan was going to say to this person?
Huo Yuanruo was still sitting there carefree. The chicken noodle soup in front of him didn't seem so fragrant anymore. He just wanted to stay here and listen to what the junior master said to this man. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Mulan steadily, with no intention of leaving at all.
"You go out too." Li Mulan rubbed her forehead, feeling a little annoyed by this ignorant little fool.
"Junior Master~" Huo Yuanruo looked as well-behaved as possible at this moment, and even looked cute.
"It's not appropriate for you to act like a spoiled child at your age. Get out now." Li Mulan was unmoved.
Huo Yuanruo curled his lips and simply stopped pretending, "I won't. I am your most beloved nephew. We grew up together, shared the good and the bad together. Have you forgotten how many times I have taken the blame for you? Is there anything I can't listen to? I have to listen, I have to listen."
Li Mulan's mouth twitched slightly. She glanced at the smiling Li Xun, feeling a little embarrassed. Then she glared at Huo Yuanruo, "Are you going out or not?"
Huo Yuanruo shuddered. Every time Junior Uncle-Master spoke to him in this tone, it meant that he was going to be in trouble. However, he was unwilling to accept this and still wanted to fight for it. "Junior Uncle-Master..."
"If you don't leave, I will write to Brother Five tomorrow and ask him to come and take you."
Huo Yuanruo jumped up from the chair and said, "I'm going out, I'm going out. Is it not okay for me to go out?" His tone was filled with aggrieved aggrievedness.
"Close the door."
Huo Yuanruo paused when he reached the door, then closed it in frustration.
Li Mulan looked at Li Xun, "Sir, please take a seat."
Li Xun was not polite and sat opposite Li Mulan. Just as he was about to say something, the door was opened again.
Li Mulan looked at Huo Yuanruo angrily. Huo Yuanruo shrank his neck and pointed at the chicken noodle soup on the table with a guilty look on his face. "Little... Little Master, my... noodles."
After saying this, he quickly picked up the noodles and left as if escaping.
Li Mulan looked at the closed door and frowned slightly, "No eavesdropping."
The person who was peeking out of the door suddenly lowered his head, like an abandoned big dog, so pitiful.
Li Mulan looked at Li Xun apologetically, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir."
Li Xun waved his hand, "It's okay, you guys...are in a good relationship?"
Li Mulan smiled helplessly, "He is the apprentice of my fifth senior brother. Although he is two years older than me, he is not as senior as me, so he has to listen to me. We grew up together and did a lot of stupid things in the mountains. Although we are nephews, we are also playmates, so we have a good relationship."
"On the mountain?"
"Yes, I have lived in the mountains with my master since I was four years old."
Li Xun's throat was a little choked up, "So...how are you living a good life?"
Li Mulan nodded, "Very good."
Li Xun nodded somewhat disappointedly, "That's good, that's good."
Li Mulan poured a cup of tea for Li Xun and handed it to him. "It's not a good tea, just drink it."
Li Xun smiled bitterly, "I haven't had tea for many years. It doesn't matter if it's not good tea."
Li Mulan's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything in the end. When she saw him finish his glass, she immediately filled it for him, "What should I call you?"
"Bang!" The cup fell and hit the table with a crisp sound, but fortunately it didn't break. Li Xun picked it up nervously, "Sorry... Sorry, what did you just say?"
Li Mulan looked into the other person's eyes gently, "What should I call you?"
Li Xun's hands trembled, his eyes turned red, and his lips trembled for a long time without saying anything. What does this mean?
"Second uncle," his voice was choked, "I am your second uncle."
Li Mulan nodded in understanding, "Sorry, I... don't remember."
Li Xun was puzzled.
Li Mulan explained, "When my master rescued me, I couldn't remember anything before the age of four. I only remembered that my name was Li Mulan. A miracle doctor examined me and said that I had suffered a severe head injury, which led to the loss of my memory. It was also the old miracle doctor who calculated my age based on my height and bones. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how old I am."
"Is that... a problem?"
"what?"
Li Xun calmed down and looked at Li Mulan lovingly, "I mean, your head has been seriously injured, which is harmful to your health."
"Oh, it's okay. I've been in good health under the care of that miracle doctor these years. Better than most people."
"That's good, that's good." Then he asked hesitantly, "You... don't have any doubts about what I said?"
Li Mulan smiled, "Second Uncle, why do you think I'm in Xiangyun City?"
Li Xun's expression was somewhat moved. "Are you here to see us?"
Li Mulan nodded. "Back then, Master investigated my background after saving me. He guessed that I should be from the exiled family. But, a dragon happened to turn over there, and it is said that almost everyone died in that disaster. So...a while ago, Master must have found something and guessed that my relatives were still there, so he asked me to come and look for them myself."
Li Xun nodded, his thoughts going back to thirteen years ago, "That happened back then. We were lucky and had passed that col before the accident happened. At that time... all the officers escorting us were killed. I guess that's why your master thought we all died in that accident."
"All the officers died? Then you..." Li Mulan was a little puzzled, why didn't you run away.
Li Xun smiled bitterly, "Because... you have an upright grandfather."
Li Mulan nodded, "Then...you recognized me yesterday because..." She touched the scar at the corner of her eye unconsciously, "This one?"
Li Xun nodded and then shook his head.
Li Mulan was puzzled.
He smiled and said, "The scar is one of them, and the other is that you look 70% like your mother."
"Mother? Is she...is she okay?"
Li Xun smiled bitterly, "Now...it's okay."
It's fine now, but it was not so good before. Li Mulan didn't know why her heart ached. Although it was a modern soul, it inherited this body after all, and it seemed... it still had feelings.
"Can I go see him?"
Li Xun thought about it and shook his head, "Lan'er, we are still criminals now. If your identity is exposed, you will not be able to escape the fate of exile. It will not be good for you."
