NOVEL NEXT Chapter 197 Wulao Mountain
When Luo Li knew that Xiao Yun had met Brother Mu in Lihua Town while accompanying her family to Linglong Mountain, she pestered Xiao Yun to take her to Lihua Town.
Mu Zhiyuan said that he did not plan to sell Juding Tower to him, and Luo Li was a little disappointed.
But this time she came to Lihua Town, under the guise of the restaurant where Princess Panxia stayed, to meet her long-awaited brother Mu.
It can be seen that when he saw Brother Mu, whom he had admired since childhood, why was he so cold to me?
When she went to the lantern festival at night, she lost the little white rabbit in her hand and got separated from her family. It was Brother Mu who helped her find the little white rabbit and her family.
From that day on, this handsome young man dressed in black became the white moonlight of Luo Li during her teenage years.
"Luo Li, why are you so distracted? Isn't it just a restaurant? If you really like it, you can look for it again in Kaitang. How about I accompany you to Kaitang tomorrow?"
Xiao Yun knew that one of Luo Li's purposes in coming to Lihua Town this time was to meet Mo Zhiyuan and reminisce about the past.
But seeing her gloomy expression, she must have understood that Mu Zhiyuan already had his heart set on something.
This is better than being alone in Beidu, holding on to a glimpse of girlhood and hesitating to move forward.
"Ayun, you know that Brother Mu already has a crush on you, right?"
Xiao Yun: "..."
"Just now, I told him how much I have missed Brother Mu these past few years, but...he said that the little effort he made when I was young was just a small thing, so I shouldn't take it to heart."
"Luo Li, Brother Mu and Shu Xi are the shopkeepers of Liuxiang Snacks. Although they are not married, Brother Mu actually cares about her very much. She is a reclusive prince who works as a helper in the snack shop. This relationship, you Can you understand?"
Xiao Yun didn't want to be too straightforward. It was time for Luo Li to wake up from her fantasy as a girl.
Luo Li looked gloomy and smiled slightly: "How could I not know that before, I knew that he was going through life and death for the prince, and I worried about his safety every day. Now that I see him again, he only treats me as the child he was back then. Thinking about it, I have been alone all these years. Just thinking."
"Luo Li, get some rest early. I'll take you to Kaitang for some boating tomorrow."
Bowl. At midnight, Luo Li fell into a deep sleep and dreamed back countless times. She hoped that time would stop when she first met Mu Zhiyuan.
Early the next morning, as soon as Mao Xi's snack shop opened, Xiao Yun came to the shop with a maid in a hurry and found Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan.
"Brother Ah Shu, Mu, Luo Li is missing."
The maid next to her knelt down with a plop: "Prince Mu, my young lady is missing. Please be sure to find her, otherwise I will have to go back to see the master and his wife with my head high."
Mao Xi was shocked. It had been more than two years since she traveled to the Huai Kingdom, and she still couldn't see this slave kneeling down.
Mao Xi helped the maid up: "Don't worry, think about what your lady said last night, and when was the last time you saw her?"
The maid recalled: "My young lady did not go out after returning to Sifang Pavilion yesterday, and she fell asleep when I was young. Before going to bed, she said that she and Miss Xiao Yun would go boating in Kaitang County today, but when she woke up this morning, she was nowhere to be seen."
"I happen to be going to Kaitang. Let's go to Kaitang River to look for her first. Maybe someone has seen your lady."
Mu Zhiyuan rode his horse first to look for him by the Kaitang River. Mao Xi drove the small carriage and followed him with Xiao Yun and the maid.
Xiao Yun held Shu Xi with trembling hands, and said anxiously in the carriage: "Ah Shu, Luo Li is thinking about jumping into the river, right? We are traveling alone this time. If something goes wrong, how can we explain it to Mr. Luo? , my father will definitely blame me."
"Don't worry, don't worry, maybe Miss Luo Li wants to go sightseeing alone for some peace and quiet."
When you arrive at the stone archway in Kaitang County, go down the stone steps to the boarding port next to the river.
Mu Zhiyuan was questioning several boatmen.
"Brothers and sisters-in-law, did you see a woman riding a boat early in the morning?"
"This early in the morning, we were helping some shops transport goods. We didn't play much, so we didn't pay attention."
"I see that Yu Laosan took a woman on a trip this morning and she hasn't come back yet."
Just as he was talking, Yu Laosan's boat docked at the river, and the fishermen called him to stop.
"Yu Laosan, did you take a young lady for sightseeing in the river this morning?"
Yu Laosan propped himself up to the shore, took off his bamboo hat and said, "Yes, that little lady was wearing a lavender cloak. At first she said she wanted to take a walk around the city and asked me to tell her a story. Then I said "Fog" There was a patch of beautiful rapeseed flowers outside Lao Mountain, and there were many exotic flowers and plants in the mountain, so she insisted on changing the route and said she wanted to go see it."
"Didn't you tell her that you can't go up Wulao Mountain?"
"I told her, but she said she was just going to see the rapeseed flowers. I saw that there are usually many people in the rapeseed field, so I sent her there."
Without saying a word, Ma Xi jumped onto the boat and said to the boatmen, "Which of you is free? Can you take us to the rapeseed field outside Wulao Mountain?"
An old lady put on a bamboo hat, stood up and said, "I happen to have nothing to do, so come up!"
Mu Zhiyuan, Xiao Yun and the little maid then jumped into the boat, and the old sister-in-law took everyone along the waterway out of the city.
There were occasional wild lotus leaves and lotus flowers on both sides of the waterway. There was a short bridge in front of it. The old lady-in-law shouted: "We are crossing the bridge hole ahead. Guests, please sit tight. Tall brother, please be careful with your head."
Mu Zhiyuan bent down and sat in the boat, while Shu Xi looked at the scenery along the way curiously.
"Ah Shu, if you like boating, I will take you to open a pond and ride on it twice some other day."
Mao Xi retracted his interest in admiring and asked his old sister-in-law about Wulao Mountain: "Sister-in-law, can you tell us about Wulao Mountain?"
The old sister-in-law had a loud voice and said cheerfully: "As the name suggests, Wulao Mountain is very foggy and people can't get out after entering it. However, there are always people who want to try their luck and go into the mountain to collect some mountain products. I only heard about the old man who lives at the foot of the mountain. Tou went into the mountain once when he was young, but he never went into the mountain again. He said he would stay at the mountain pass to persuade those who went up the mountain, and he didn't want anyone to go in again and lose their lives."
When they arrived at the mountain pass, the old sister-in-law docked the boat and warned: "You must come back before You hour. There are few ferries in this area at night."
Everyone got off the boat one after another. Sure enough, there was a patch of rapeseed flowers in front of the mountain. They were golden and brilliant, with white and purple cabbage pink butterflies flying among the flowers.
Mao Xi only saw a woman playing with two little dolls among the flowers, so she stepped forward to ask.
The woman did not see any young woman coming here. She had just brought her baby for an outing.
The maid on the side was even more worried: "What should I do? They didn't see the lady."
There was an old house in front of the mountain. Mu Zhiyuan knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone there?"
An old man with white hair and beard opened the door to greet him, and said angrily: "Why are you young again? What are you doing here? You can't go up the mountain here!"
"Old man, we are here to look for someone. Did you see a little lady wearing a purple cloak going up the mountain?"
The old man stamped his head and stamped his feet, and Xu Xu said: "Someone has arrived. You go up the mountain quickly. The little lady has been going up the mountain for about two hours. I advised her not to go up the mountain. I can't stop her. Take a look at this mountain. It’s all foggy, can we go up there? How dangerous…”
Mao Xi wanted to ask the old man to lead everyone up the mountain: "Grandpa, we are not familiar with the way up the mountain. Can you take us up the mountain to find someone."
The old man waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I only stop people, not look for them. The mountains are dangerous, so be careful. I almost couldn't get out of the mountain many years ago."
Mu Zhiyuan found a thick branch at the foot of the mountain and prepared to go up the mountain alone: "It's dangerous in the mountain. You guys wait for me here. If you haven't come down from the mountain by afternoon, Ah Shu, go find Lu Da and Butler Wang."
Mao Xi also found a thick branch and followed him: "Brother Mu, I often go to the mountain to pick mushrooms, so I'd better ask Xiao Yun and the others to stay here and wait."
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, the old man warned: "Brother, girl, you must remember that there are four seasons in this mountain. You cannot rely on the sun to determine the direction. Go early and come back early. Where there is sunshine, there is also cold!"
