Hearing what Jishan said, Ning Ru'an also had a slight bottom in his heart now.

Lin Dingye has such respect for this old man, and looking at the temperament of the people, although this old man is not young, he may be the actual leader of this nest of robbers.

What Ning Ru'an can figure out, that is, Shan, a flower thief who picks famous flowers all over the world, can naturally think of it eight hundred years ago.

But it's all over now, this guy is still here pretending to be a full-fledged scholar who is selling sour, Ning Ru'an thought in hindsight, is there any other purpose for this?

I don't understand this, Ning Ru'an, as a novice in the rivers and lakes, has not seen any big storms, so she still decided to pretend to be stupid as much as possible.

She will play her mute role well, and leave the rest to Jishan, an old fritter who is immersed in her role and can't extricate herself.

"Xianggong said this, it's really old."

The old man waved his hand, smiled softly, and continued: "You don't need to be afraid, you don't need to be tempted, in fact, we are not some ferocious robbers who want people's lives. ”

Hearing him say this, Ning Ru'an's ears suddenly pricked up.

"Set up a business, arrange a place for the two of you to sit."

However, the old man didn't continue, but just asked Lin Dingye to move stools for Ning Ru'an and Jishan, and let the three of them sit down.

"I don't have this leg, otherwise I wouldn't have to rely on you all the time to keep you here, and it would hurt you."

Ning Ru'an was still waiting for Elder Crane to continue to talk about their details, but he didn't know if it was deliberately to arouse people's appetites, the more Ning Ru'an wanted to hear it, the more Elder Crane wanted to talk about something.

"This girl is a little unbearable."

Crane Lao looked at Ning Ru'an, and said such a sentence coldly.

However, when he said this, Ning Ru'an was not only confused, but also a little flustered in his heart, and he didn't understand why Elder He suddenly pulled the topic to her.

She could only take a look at Jishan with a look of help, hoping that as her partner, Jishan could give some pointers.

However, the other party directly chose to block the distress signal sent by Ning Ru'an.

There is no way, that is, if she doesn't stand up and talk to Crane Lao and help her resolve the embarrassment, Ning Ruan can only go out in person.

However, Ning Ru'an had never learned sign language, so he could only stretch out his hand and gesture blindly to the crane elder for a while.

What she wanted to express was that she didn't understand the intention of Crane Lao by saying this, and she also wanted to say by the way that she didn't know anything, and now she just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Faced with Ning Ru'an's blind gesture, Elder He just shook his head at her lightly, and then took his eyes off Ning Ru'an.

This action made Ning Ru'an feel tight again in his heart.

"The girl is not deeply involved in the world, I don't know why I invited you here, presumably the son knows books and etiquette, he should understand."

Elder Crane no longer paid attention to Ning Ru'an, but set his eyes on the rather calm Jishan.

Of course, the sentence that Crane Lao said to Jishan at this time was another anagram for Ning Ru'an.

The reason why they were "invited" to this village was not because they met a group of robbers, and then they were caught in the robbers' den, and then they were called to this house by the leader of the robbers, that is, this crane elder.

As for why, Ning Ru'an really wanted to say, shouldn't the reason be asked to you?

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Crane Lao." In the face of Crane Lao's question, that is, Shan was very calm, and replied even if he was neither humble nor arrogant.

As soon as he said this, Crane Lao's face did not change, and he was very calm. But Lin Dingye's face was obviously a little discolored.

Lin Dingye glanced at the two of them with a complicated expression, and then glanced at Crane Lao again, with a hint of struggle in his eyes.

The change in his facial expression was only for a moment, and then he lowered his head to cover it up.

"Xiaosheng and my sister just passed through an ordinary village on the way to visit relatives, and when they saw the simple customs and pleasant scenery here, and the hospitality of the villagers, they just delayed here for a while. Xiao Sheng didn't know anything else. ”

With a smile on his face, he raised his hand and hugged his fist at Crane Lao and continued.

"My sister and I have thanked the old gentleman for his hospitality here. It's just that there was a sudden change in the family, and my brother and sister were lonely, so they could only go to distant relatives as soon as possible, so that they could have a glimmer of life, and please ask the old gentleman and Brother Lin to not have to stay with us. ”

After saying this, the expression on Shan's face was perfect, as if the truth was really as he said, he and Ning Ru'an really just strayed into the village, played here for a while, and now they were going to go to their relatives.

Ning Ru was puzzled, but she wanted to ask but couldn't open her mouth, and besides, she didn't understand a lot of things at this time, so she didn't dare to make anything too out of line, so she could only suppress the anxiety in her heart and wait silently.

But the central idea of saying this, Ning Ru'an can actually understand if he thinks about it again, he just shows that he doesn't want to cause trouble, and he just thinks that Crane Lao doesn't want to trouble them, and it is best to let the two of them leave, then all this can be treated as if nothing happened.

Crane Lao didn't immediately reply to Ji Shan's words, he looked at Ning Ru'an, and then at Ji Shan, and the expression on his face even looked a little kind.

But Ning Ruan felt nervous.

If Crane Lao wasn't a person who was hidden in the village and even the bandit leader looked at him very jealously, Ning Ru'an would not feel worried and nervous.

It's just that the old man in front of him just listened to him and gave people a sense of majesty, and at the critical moment of deciding whether to let Ning Ru'an and the two leave, Ning Ru'an inexplicably felt that something would happen, and they would not leave this village so easily.

Sure enough, after looking at the two of them a few times, Crane Lao said that he wanted the two to stay.

"Since you're here, let's stay a few more days. After all, it is fate to be able to meet, and just let you go, it seems that those of us who are hosts are not hospitable. ”

As soon as Crane Lao's words came out, it was clear that he would not let Ning Ru'an and Jishan go.

But this is not the end, Elder He immediately said to Ning Ru'an:

"Little girl, how did you get here from the capital?"

When Elder Crane said this, it was tantamount to thunder for Ning Ru'an.

She was shocked in her heart, why would an old man in a village thousands of miles away from the capital say that Ning Ru'an came from the capital when he had just met not long ago?

Ning Ru was relieved of the turmoil, but he still remained calm on the surface, pretending not to understand Crane Lao's words, and trying his best to pretend to be ignorant.

Ji Shan, who had always been calm and did not squint, finally set his eyes on Ning Ru'an at this time, and secretly looked Ning Ru'an up and down.

In Jishan's opinion, Ning Ru'an did not show any flaws that could show that she was from the capital, and before leaving, Jishan specially chose clothes and jewelry for Ning Ru'an, all of which were dressed as daughters of well-off families, and they were not extravagant.

On Ning Ru'an's body, there is nothing that can show her identity characteristics as the Miss of the General's Mansion in the capital.

Except for the scar on her face.

It's just that the matter of the ugly third sister of the General's Mansion has spread so far that the crane elders in the mountain villages thousands of miles away are clear?
