Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

It was the first time that Wen Xiao saw Zhuo Yichen coming in a carriage, but after seeing the person who got off the carriage, she no longer felt that way, because! Who could tell her why this old man would come too!

Jiang Lanming looked at Wen Xiao at the second-floor window and snorted coldly. Zhuo Yichen, Zhao Yuanzhou, as well as Bai Jiu and Ying Lei who came with Zhuo Yichen didn't dare to say a word!

They were afraid that if they made any noise, the old man in front would turn around and scold them.

"Lady Goddess is so elegant! It's extremely urgent, and you still have time to drink tea and eat snacks here!" Jiang Lanming started to speak in a sarcastic tone as soon as he sat down.

"Grandpa Jiang! You promised me when you came out!" Zhuo Yichen was afraid that Grandpa Jiang would say something insulting again, so he quickly opened his mouth to stop him.

Of course Wen Xiao knew why Mr. Jiang was so angry with them. It was because they were careless at the beginning. As soon as they walked into Mr. Jiang's studio, either you or I stepped on the model that Mr. Jiang had just made and smashed it.

"Wen Xiao, have you and Master Pei found any clues?"

Zhuo Yichen looked at Grandpa Jiang, who was still angry but had softened his attitude, and quickly asked Wen Xiao.

"Sister Pei and I wandered around here and got a lot of news. One of them is that a very unique timber store moved to the west of the city!"

Zhao Yuanzhou leaned against the wall, chewing a peach that he didn't know where he came from. "What's so special about a wood shop? It can't be the supplier of some wooden kite maker!"

Wen Xiao glanced at Zhao Yuanzhou who was making sarcastic remarks, "Not long after that timber store moved here, a wooden kite attack occurred in Tiandu City. Moreover, the timber store was closed during the day and opened at night!"

Wen Xiao turned around and looked at Zhuo Yichen. "That shop is closed during the day but open at night. Someone once went to see it nearby. When he was found the next day, he had gone crazy. He was still talking about things like 'strange tricks, mechanical puppets, wrongful killings, wronged souls'!"

When Jiang Lanming heard the word "mechanical puppet", he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wen Xiao fiercely, "Are you sure you heard the words 'mechanical puppet'?"

Wen Xiao and the others looked at Jiang Lanming, whose expression suddenly changed. Although they were a little afraid of him, they still nodded firmly. "It would be fine if one person heard it wrong, but those old ladies all said so. It's impossible that everyone heard it wrong!"

Jiang Lanming muttered something. Although his voice was very low, everyone present except Bai Jiu and Wen Xiao could hear it clearly. "Impossible! Impossible! How could she still be alive? Impossible!"

Zhuo Yichen asked Jiang Lanming carefully, "Grandpa Jiang, what's wrong? Do you know something?"

Jiang Lanming instantly restrained all his expressions and looked at Wen Xiao seriously, "Where is the lumber store you mentioned? Take me there!"

When Wen Xiao and the others saw Jiang Lanming's expression and unusual movements, they knew that there was something really wrong with the lumber store, and it might be related to the wooden kite attack.

Wen Xiao no longer hesitated, stood up and led everyone towards the lumber store.

When they arrived at the corner of the lumber store street, everyone did not get off the carriage, but instead watched carefully from the carriage.

The lumber store was indeed closed during the day just as the people in the west of the city said, and judging from the appearance of the store, it seemed that they didn't even have a waiter.

Jiang Lanming looked at the familiar plaque of the timber store and the inscriptions on both sides, and suddenly felt deflated. "It's really her! It's really her! But she's clearly dead! I buried her with my own hands! How could it be!"

Everyone in the carriage heard what Jiang Lanming said, "Grandpa Jiang, do you know someone who makes wooden kites?"

Jiang Lanming took a deep look at Zhuo Yichen, sighed deeply, and looked up at the top of the carriage, as if he wanted to look at the sky through the wooden board. "Back then, the model that you stepped on was the token of love she gave me. We had agreed that when she reached the age of 15, I would ask a matchmaker to come to her house and propose marriage.

But who would have thought that just an ordinary performance in the palace would cost the lives of their entire family!

I rushed back to Tiandu from outside but didn't have the time to see her for the last time. I only received the wooden kite model she gave me before I went out.

Because their clan was executed by the previous emperor, they had no relatives or friends to collect their bodies, so I took them out of Tiandu City one by one and hired a corpse tailor to sew their heads back one by one.

She was just 15 years old when she died, and she had not even had the chance to see the scenery outside Tiandu City. She said that after she reached 15 years old, her father would teach her the art of making wooden kites, and then she would take me to fly in the sky on the wooden kite she made!

Unfortunately, I can only accompany her to fly in the sky, make wooden kites with her, and accompany her forever in my dreams! "

A tear rolled down Jiang Lanming's waist and dripped onto the wooden board. The shadowy figure who was carving something alone with his back to the door in the lumber shop seemed to sense something. He suddenly straightened his back and looked back abruptly. From the sunlight coming through the window, he saw that it was pitch black inside, with only two bean-sized candles illuminating an open space in front of the man in black.

"Jiang Jiang, I'm running out of patience! You shouldn't have come!"

The low and hoarse voice sounded as if one hadn't spoken for decades and suddenly couldn't get used to speaking.

Wen Xiao and the others never thought that the cold-hearted Jiang Lao could have such an unforgettable relationship. However, they did deserve to be scolded. If he had stepped on other utensils, perhaps Jiang Lao would not be so angry.

A token of love! Or a relic?

They really deserve to die!

The one who deserved to die the most was Zhao Yuanzhou. If he hadn't said at the beginning, "You are so grown up and still playing with children's toys like this, I will bring you some other toys from the street in a few days."

Wen Xiao and his companions looked at Zhao Yuanzhou, who was trying to sneak away, with murderous eyes.

When Zhao Yuanzhou saw that he was discovered, he made hundreds of awkward movements. Finally, he lifted the curtain and ran out, using the curtain to block the murderous gazes behind him.

The sky gradually darkened. Zhao Yuanzhou looked at the lumber store not far away with a serious expression. All the surrounding shops were closed except for that lumber store. The lights were on and there was a figure walking around, with a bird following behind the figure.

"That person is about to take action!"

Zhao Yuanzhou's voice reached everyone's ears.

A group of people opened the car window curtains and stared at the timber store. Only Jiang Lanming came out, his eyes showing deep nostalgia, looking forward to seeing his lover again. He could hardly remember her appearance!

A cry sounded from the sky, and everyone looked up, only to see an extremely huge monster flying over their heads and heading straight for the center of Tiandu City.

"Xiao Zhuo!"

Zhuo Yichen and Pei Sijing jumped off the carriage together, but Zhuo Yichen was stopped. Pei Sijing jumped up directly from a table on the roadside, landed on the roofs of some not-so-high houses, and chased the flying bird.

Wen Xiao and Bai Jiu also followed closely on the ground and left. Ying Lei was worried about Wen Xiao and Bai Jiu, so he ran after them.

"Zhao Yuanzhou! Why are you holding me?" Zhuo Yichen looked at the four people who had already run away, and then looked at Zhao Yuanzhou who was holding him and not letting him go.

"There's nothing on the wooden kite, just some papers. It's enough for Lord Pei and Wen Xiao. Let's accompany Old Jiang to the lumber shop!" Zhao Yuanzhou asked Zhuo Yichen to look at Jiang Lanming who had already walked to the door of the lumber shop.

Jiang Lanming stood at the door and pushed it but it didn't move. He knew she was inside, but she didn't want to see him. "I know it's you. Come open the door and let me in. I just want to see you again!"

There was no movement from inside the door, not even a hint of response.

"Ayun, I know it's you. Ever since I found out about the flying wooden kite, I knew you were back! I don't mind what you look like. I only know that you are my wife-to-be! You are my unchanging faith in this life, and the only wife I love!"

"Ayun! Are you really so cruel that you won't see me?"

"Ayun, for so many years I have been living by looking at that wooden kite model, making weapons in a daze. I am afraid! I am afraid that one day I will suddenly forget you. I am afraid that when I look back that day, I will not see you!"

Jiang Lanming knelt down crying. Through the crack in the door, he saw his wife behind it, but she didn't want to see him, and even didn't want to say a word to him.

Just when Jiang Lanming thought that was it, a hoarse voice suddenly came from inside the door, "Jiang Jiang! I'm sorry! I hope that next time we meet, we can be fresh and bright!"

Jiang Lanming felt the person in the door leave, and he felt an uncontrollable pain bursting out from his heart. The blood in his body seemed to boil and rush there. The unbearable pain made his whole body tense, like a string about to break.

Zhuo Yichen looked at Jiang Lanming who was curled up at the door, and ran to him in two steps, "Grandpa Jiang, what's wrong with you!"

Zhao Yuanzhou walked over slowly and said, "He is too sad. Send him back to the carriage!"

Zhuo Yichen glanced at the curled up Jiang Lanming, and then looked at the man who refused to open the door.
