Chapter 110 The Mule Returns

After picking the Ganoderma lucidum, Bai Yangfan jumped to a safe area and threw the small Ganoderma lucidum in his hand to Lu Jingheng.

"This is for you. Take it. It's a good thing. It can save your life at a critical moment."

Lu Jingheng took it, took a look at the Ganoderma lucidum, and handed it back to Bai Yangfan: "You should keep it! I will give you all my things from now on." Including me and my heart.

I didn't dare say the latter sentence casually, for fear that the woman would get angry and beat her to death.

Bai Yangfan took the Ganoderma lucidum and threw it into the space. She was not pretentious. The bastard gave her all the money and tickets for safekeeping, so why would he care about the Ganoderma lucidum she gave him?

I got some good stuff and was in a very good mood. I took a walk around the mountain and then went back.

Lu Jingheng sent her back and also carried a bundle of firewood for her. He filled the water tank with water before leaving.

The tomb of King Li is still being cleaned, so there must be someone on duty at night.

Since Ye Lianlian went to jail, Liujia Village has returned to its former tranquility. Everyone follows the rule passed down by their ancestors: work from sunrise to sunset, and rest from sunset to sunrise, repeating the same essential routine every day.

After dinner, Bai Yangfan still sat in the room reading. There was nothing else to do.

She has completed two of the rote memorization courses, and there are still three to be completed. She has to continue working hard to get good grades when the college entrance examination is resumed.

My younger brother went to bed early after a day of sailing.

There wasn't much entertainment in the evenings back then. Basically, every household would go to bed after dinner. What else could they do? Chatting and talking wasted so much kerosene, so it was better to go to bed early and save on the kerosene.

Bai Yangfan is not used to going to bed early. He basically goes to bed around nine o'clock every day. In his previous life, going to bed at this time was really early.

Most people go to bed at eleven or twelve o'clock. At nine o'clock, some people are still chewing their dinner.

You can sleep anywhere.

But in this day and age, going to bed at nine o'clock is very late. In the summer, you can still wait until this time, but in other seasons, basically no one is so bored as to sit in bed and wait until nine o'clock before lying down to sleep.

After a day's work, everyone is tired and can't wait to lie down and rest.

But Bai Yangfan didn't do much work, so she wasn't tired and stayed up until nine o'clock every day before blowing out the lights.

The same thing happened tonight. At nine o'clock, her biological clock punctually started to make her sleepy. She quickly put down her book, fanned out the light with her hand, took off her clothes and lay down.

I was still half asleep when I heard some noise at the door.

Bai Yangfan opened her eyes with a start and looked out the door, holding her breath. Could there be a thief? Who would be so bold as to come into her house and steal something?

We have to look carefully to see who it is and not hurt anyone. It would be bad if it is someone from our village.

The bolt was pulled open and a man walked in. In the dim moonlight, Bai Yangfan recognized the man at a glance.

"Mule! What are you doing here again? Didn't I give you the silver hairpin? Isn't the tomb of King Li already opened? Why are you still here?"

The mule was slightly stunned, and was so surprised that he almost stumbled and sat on the ground: "You know me? Who told you?"

Bai Yangfan put on her clothes in the dark, got out of bed and lit the kerosene lamp. It was obvious that Mule was not here to take her life, because he did not have the murderous intent in him.

Having committed many years of murder in his previous life, Bai Yangfan can still tell whether a person wants to kill you.

She didn't understand why the mule came back, nor did she know why he was looking for her.

But she was sure that he was not here to kill and silence the witnesses.

"Isn't that what your people call you?" Was she wrong? Didn't the mule have that nickname at that time?

No, from his surprise just now, Bai Yangfan already knew that the nickname "Mule" did exist, but probably few people knew it.

Sure enough, the next second Mule spoke it out himself, not in Chinese, but in his own country's language: "Do you understand our country's language?"

Bai Yangfan sneered, "Living in a remote village, knowing the language of a neighboring country is nothing. As someone from the Elephant Country, you also know our language. What's so strange about that?"

Looking at the girl's calm and indifferent demeanor, Mule came to his senses and sat down opposite Bai Yangfan.

He looked at her face carefully, frowning as he did so, muttering something to himself. His voice was very soft, but Bai Yangfan still heard it: "No way! How could it be? Could it really be what I imagined? How could such a coincidence happen in the world?"

Bai Yangfan remained calm and decided to see what tricks Mule was trying to play. What was he saying in front of her?

Pretending not to care, Bai Yangfan picked up the book on the table. If he wanted to mutter to himself, just let him do it and see what he was up to.

Seeing that the girl didn't pay much attention to him, the mule asked, "Did your grandmother tell you anything about King Li's tomb?"

"No." His gaze still lingered on the book, Bai Yangfan frowned slightly. "In fact, if you hadn't come looking for that silver hairpin, I wouldn't have known it was the key to King Li's tomb. I just kept it as an ordinary hairpin. It was the only thought my grandmother left me.

Now that King Li's tomb has been opened, what about the hairpin? Shouldn't you return it to me? It has lost its original value, and there's no use for you to keep it."

Pulling out the silver hairpin from his bosom, Mule didn't return it to Bai Yangfan directly. Instead, he kept playing with it in his hand: "I can give you the thing, but you have to answer a few questions of mine honestly."

Looking up at him, Bai Yangfan nodded in agreement: "You tell me, I will answer you everything I know, and it's useless for you to ask if I don't know."

Mule: "Don't worry, you know everything I ask. You, are not the Bai family's biological child, right?"

Bai Yangfan's heart trembled, but he didn't show it on his face. He shook his head and replied solemnly, "You are wrong. I am the Bai family's biological child."

Although the original owner was indeed not the Bai family's biological child, Mule's arrival was so strange that she didn't dare to tell the truth and couldn't understand what he wanted to do.

Another thing is to gamble, that he has never asked the people in Liujia Village about his life experience.

If he had already asked clearly, he couldn't come and ask her.

As long as she denied it, Mule wouldn't be able to hold on to this matter in the future. She still hadn't figured out whether Mule had a hand in her death in her previous life.

But she was sure that Mule was not a good person at all. He would ask her such a question secretly, and he must want to get some benefits from her.

The matter of King Li's tomb has been messed up. If he can't get anything valuable back, he's afraid he'll have a hard time explaining himself in the Elephant Kingdom.

Hearing this, Mule was stunned, then shook his head: "No, you are not a child of the Bai family. In fact, you are not a Chinese at all. You should be from our Elephant Country."

"Nonsense," Bai Yangfan scoffed. "Women from the Elephant Country have their own unique characteristics. Do I look like them?"
