Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?

"Senior Si, the disappearance of the Mu family is too strange, and the Wang family is unable to do anything about it. You are familiar with the Mu family, and you went to the wooden house to explore in person. Did you find any clues?"

Lin Luo sat upright and watched Si Jinglan's reaction nervously.

"No clues." Si Jinglan answered decisively.

Lin Luo's heart sank, and he continued to ask, "Didn't you find anything?"

"No clue is the biggest clue."

Si Jinglan looked straight at Lin Luo with sharp eyes.

"The wooden house is so clean that even the beast spirits that have existed for hundreds of years have disappeared. In this world, only the top masters of Xuanmen can do it."

"You are right." Lin Luo asked expectantly, "Have you found out who this master is?"

"I checked and saw it, but I don't know who it is."

Thinking of this, Si Jinglan couldn't help clenching his hand tightly on the quilt.

"I paid a lot of money to seek clues about the Mu family's affairs in Xuanmen, and spread the word that I had found the key. Then someone came to the door. I fought with him for more than a hundred moves, but all failed. He was seriously injured, I had my leg broken by him, and he didn't get any favors from me. The slap I gave him on the chest was enough to ruin his martial arts career, but it's a pity that he still escaped."

"Do you know who he is?"

Si Jinglan shook his head helplessly, "He used the art of changing his face and couldn't see his face clearly."

"Have we found other clues? Are there any identifiable features on this person?" Lin Luo asked eagerly.

"This man is of medium build and is a man around 30 years old. The slap I hit on his chest is my family's unique soul-breaking palm. With my spiritual power, he will take me with him in this life. His pawprint."

Si Jinglan admired the palm of his right hand quite proudly, as if he was still recalling the fierce battle that year.

"Before this master, there was a group of little guys with no skills. I caught their leader and wanted to find out the identity of the person behind it. Unexpectedly, when he was about to tell the clue, the person suddenly died of anger. .”

She took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. Her weathered eyes were like a deep lake.

"I have a feeling that the people who attacked the Mu family may not only be members of the Xuanmen. My leg injury is too serious and I shouldn't stay for a long time. I have to go home first and wait for the injury to heal before I can take care of it."

Lin Luo grasped the key point in her words, "Is this feeling you have because you noticed something else wrong?"

Si Jinglan frowned, "One thing is true. I once went to the villages near Mu House to look for clues and asked the villagers about the Mu family. They were all very secretive about it and were united. No one was even willing to talk to me."

"Do you suspect that someone bribed the villagers in advance to prevent them from revealing the information to the outside world?"

Lin Luo suddenly realized that she had always felt uncomfortable with the "legend of the cannibal house" in the wooden house. If this was just a lie fabricated by the nearby villagers to take advantage of it, then everything would make sense. The villagers broke into the wooden house. The purpose of destroying the house and destroying the scene is also for the same purpose.

"All of this is just my suspicion. There is no evidence. I haven't found anything."

Si Jinglan was in a low mood and looked sad, and Lin Luo couldn't bear it.

"You ignored your own safety and went to find out the truth about what happened to your friend's family. Your deep friendship is admirable."

"There's nothing to admire. I didn't do anything to help. Those people were cruel and ruthless, even a three-year-old child would not be spared. The only thing I'm glad about is that Aying has passed away and did not suffer this disaster."

Thinking of her friend, Si Jinglan's face filled with nostalgia. When she looked at Lin Luo again, her eyes stopped on Lin Luo's face and she stared blankly, unable to regain her consciousness for a long time.

Lin Luo felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him, "Senior Si, is there something on my face?"

"No, you and my friend are somewhat similar." Si Jinglan's expression gradually softened.

"Is it your friend named Aying? Is she also from the Mu family?" Lin Luo guessed that she wanted to know more information.

Si Jinglan looked at Lin Luo and his friend's similar faces, and unconsciously started talking.

"Aying is my college classmate. We are very good friends. She is from a wealthy family and her family has a big business. But she is not squeamish at all. She has a gentle temperament and decisive actions. She has helped me a lot. Later, she married into the Mu family. She really liked returning to the rural life of nature. I often went to the Mu family to visit her.

Our friendship lasted a lifetime, until she fell ill and passed away. We originally agreed to become in-laws, but unfortunately she and I both gave birth to sons. However, she later had a very cute little granddaughter. I couldn’t stop after hearing about it. I rushed to Mu's house and arranged this baby marriage for my grandson. I don't know where the poor child is now..."

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Lin Luo choked on his own saliva, turned sideways and covered his mouth, coughing until his face turned red.

"You kid, why are you coughing so hard all of a sudden?"

Si Jinglan worriedly patted Lin Luo's back to help her calm down.

"Grandma, what's the matter with you?"

The door to the room was pushed open by Si Yan from the outside. His steps were a little panicked, but when he saw that Lin Luo was coughing, he relaxed. He took out a bottle of mineral water from the cabinet beside the bed and unscrewed the cap. Finally, he handed it to Lin Luo.

"Drink some water to moisten your throat."

"Thank you."

Lin Luo gradually calmed down, took the water, drank it in small sips, and slowly stopped coughing.

It's so embarrassing, but who would have thought that there would be such a thing as a baby kiss.

Lin Luo secretly raised his eyes to look at Si Yan, who was also looking at her with concern.

"How's it going? Are you feeling better?"

Lin Luo's face was still flushed, and her big bright eyes were shy. She capped the bottle and explained sheepishly:

"I'm fine. I just accidentally choked while talking."

Now that Si Yan had entered the room, Lin Luo couldn't continue to tell Si Jinglan any more information. She stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing that it was almost noon and Si Jinglan needed to rest, Si Yan did not stop him and just sent Lin Luo downstairs like a gentleman.

"Mr. Si, just send it here. It's more important for you to go back and take care of your grandmother as soon as possible." Lin Luo advised thoughtfully.

Si Yan stopped, his eyes were as warm as jade, and he seemed to be full of deep affection when he looked at Lin Luo.

"Then you should be careful on your own journey. Grandma likes you very much, and you two are so happy talking to each other. When she is discharged from the hospital in a while, we will invite you to come and play at home, okay?"

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Lin Luo smiled without hesitation, and then thought of something again, doubts flashing in his eyes.

"I remember that Mrs. Si is from Southwest City. Will you stay in City B in the future?"

Si Yan nodded, with a slight smile on his lips, and his voice was like a warm spring breeze.

"Yes, the medical conditions here are better than those in my hometown, and it is more conducive to my grandmother's health recovery. I have bought a house and got involved in the business here, and I will live here for a long time."

"That would be great. We can see each other more often in the future."

Lin Luo smiled sweetly, as bright and warm as spring light, with bright and clear eyes.

"Will do."

Si Yan's eyes were locked on Lin Luo, and his eyes were filled with joy that he was not even aware of.
