Troubled Times

Chapter 60

"Are you Xiaorou?" Lin Mengdie asked cautiously standing in front of the door, the man didn't nod or shake his head, his sleeves fluttered in the wind, and the butterfly hairpin on his head was so dazzling in the moonlight

"Why?" The man said suddenly, but it seemed that he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse

"Xiaorou, you still came to see me. I'm really happy. I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore after I did such a thing." Lin Mengdie didn't panic or faint from fright, but was happy. walked towards the man

"Why do you want me to die?" The man took a few steps forward to avoid Lin Mengdie.

"I can't help it. After all, you owe brother Yan. This is your inevitable ending. Don't people say that killing pays for life?" Lin Mengdie looked at the woman in black who didn't show her face.

"But aren't we good friends?"

"Yeah, we are good friends, and I have a very good relationship with brother Yan, so I really can't favor you, it's not fair to you, in order to compensate you, I don't always give you my favorite hairpin Is it?" Lin Mengdie looked at the hairpin shining brightly under the moonlight bewilderedly.

"Hehe, it's really ridiculous, a hairpin wants to buy someone's life," the woman said and walked away

"Xiaorou, I want to return my hairpin." Lin Mengdie said lightly, but the woman walking in front suddenly fell backwards, her eyes were full of shock, "Thank you for returning the hairpin to me, although You are not Xiaorou, but you are much more considerate than Xiaorou." Lin Mengdie seemed to be muttering to herself, and Chang Ma came out from the side and handed the phoenix hairpin on the man's head to Lin Mengdie, sighing He left in one breath, and several people appeared in the yard to carry the fallen man away. As for where he went, it is unknown

"Xue Ling hasn't come back yet?"

"Not yet, it should have been back a long time ago. Our people looked at the door and said that Xue Ling hadn't come out since entering."

"I didn't expect this temptation of mine to break one of my left and right arms. I underestimated her. How can this kind of woman be frightened?" There is a faint light shining in it, as if telling an unknown secret

"Forget it, let them all come back, don't be in a hurry, there are plenty of opportunities to avenge Xueling"

"Yes" the woman in a light pink dress retreated, and there was a faint sound of chanting sutras in the room

"Father, I can't find the hairpin you gave me." Cao Hongying said coquettishly, holding Cao Lin's arm

"It's okay to lose it"

"What did you say?" Cao Hongying didn't hear clearly and asked again

"I mean that hairpin is just that one. If you like that style, you can go to Mr. Li's shop and look for it." Cao Lin patted the hand that was holding his arm.

"No, that one looks good. Although the one in Li's old shop is also good-looking, it's not as good-looking as the one you brought back to me." Cao Hongying thought for a while and continued, "How about asking the person who made the hairpin to make me another set of phoenix crowns? "

"The craftsman drove west of Hexi long ago, and the one I bought for you is his last masterpiece." Cao Lin shook his head.

"Ah~, I put it well at first, but it was gone when I looked for it this morning. I asked those girls to search the house and couldn't find it." Cao Hongying was a little unwilling, and wanted to look for it again.

"This is for you, go to the warehouse and find what you like, and use it as a token of love for you." Cao Lin took out a key from his pocket

"Thank you dad." After taking the key, Cao Hongying didn't bother with the hairpin anymore, and went straight to the warehouse

"It's like a child now." Cao Lin smiled.

"You can only get used to it for a few days, and you won't be able to find anyone if you want to get used to it in the future." Mrs. Cao covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled

"What are you afraid of? Where else can they go? Zhuang Wentao will pick up my squad in the northwest. As for Mengdie and the others, it would be good to go to the southeast to play. When we are old, we will play chess and drink together here. Drink tea and recall the past, and let these two children take care of us until the end of our lives."

"Bah, bah, what did you say when you woke up in the morning?" Mrs. Cao spat on the ground a few times.

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, I'm going out, you go and pick with Hongying, otherwise she won't be able to see so many things." Cao Lin trimmed the broken hair of his wife's sideburns, "I have worked hard for you these years, Yue'er. "

"Let's go, we're old couples, what are we talking about?" Mrs. Cao blushed slightly and pushed Cao Lin out of the door.

............

"You girl, you want to empty the warehouse!" Mrs. Cao's voice sounded outside the warehouse, and she saw that many boxes had been piled up outside the warehouse

"No, I saw that a box was pressed at the bottom, so I moved out the top box to see what kind of treasure was hidden so deeply." Cao Hongying couldn't hide her joy in her tone.

"You, if it's an empty box, you've been busy for a long time, why didn't you find a few people to help you?"

"No, I don't know what kind of jewelry is inlaid on the box. It's so beautiful. If there's nothing in it, I'll put it in my room as a decoration. It's so beautiful that I'm afraid they will break it for me again with their clumsy hands."

"Oh, I really didn't notice that there is such a treasure in our warehouse." Mrs. Cao also became interested when she heard it.

"Look, this is it." When Cao Hongying finally took out the box, Cao Lin went back and forth again.

"Why is the master back?" Mrs. Cao was a little puzzled

"Father, do you regret it?" Cao Hongying tugged at the corner of the box, intending that she would not let go no matter what her father said.

"Did you see a nice box?" Cao Lin asked directly

"Yes, but I want to take it back as a decoration, you promise me to take it casually"

"Others are fine. This is what your grandfather gave your grandmother at the time. Your grandfather said that no one can touch it." Cao Lin moved out the deceased old man Cao, and Cao Hongying had to let go no matter how reluctant he was.

"You look at the jade pendant. The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, how good it is for you to be a token of love and faith." Cao Lin went into the warehouse and took out a box and opened it. The jade pendant inside was shining brightly

"It was only used by you at that time, who would use jade pendants to make love at this time?" Cao Hongying was a little reluctant

"I have Hetian jade, jadeite, and Xiuyu materials here. If you don't like the look in the warehouse, ask Mr. Li to carve it for you." After Cao Lin finished speaking, he directed Mrs. Cao, "Look at her, that one The box must not be touched, my father told me before he passed away." Mrs. Cao nodded quickly when she heard this, and dragged Cao Hongying out

"You're getting married soon, stay away from these things, master, go get busy with your work." Mrs. Cao called someone to come over and take Cao Hongying to take a bath, then locked the door and gave the key to Cao Lin

Cao Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he came back in time. The fewer people who know this secret, the better.
