Chapter 354: Mysterious Family
Although I had known for a long time that Mu Wanjun's surname was Mu, I also knew that her hometown was in southern Sichuan.
But these four words have never been associated together.
After being friends for such a long time, I know that Mu Wanjun is different from ordinary people.
But Tu Ran thought that she was just a metaphysics enthusiast who knew a few tricks.
After all, she is not a Taoist priest or a magician.
She's just a young girl in college.
How could it be associated with the Mu family in southern Sichuan?
"Why do you look like that?"
“Haha, you haven’t heard of it.”
"He was afraid that I would lose face, so he deliberately gave me a way out." Mu Wanjun rarely saw Tu Ran's expression fluctuate so much, and she just thought he was so cute.
“I’ve actually heard of it.”
"Oh? Is that true?"
"I always thought my family was very mysterious." Mu Wanjun stopped joking and started to get serious.
“I’ve actually heard of it.”
"Did you hear it from your grandfather? Or Uncle Sun?" Mu Wanjun felt that ordinary people would not be able to know much about the Mu family in southern Sichuan. After all, the south and the north are separated by thousands of miles.
But Grandpa Tu and Uncle Sun both come from traditional Chinese medicine backgrounds, and they both know a little bit about it.
"He's really not my grandfather."
"There was a crazy old man in the small town below our Phoenix Ridge."
"But that old man died many years ago."
"When I was little, I would go down the mountain with my grandfather to the town to do some shopping, and I would meet that old man."
"People in this town don't know where he came from. He's like a beggar."
"He holds a wine jug, enjoys drinking, and also enjoys telling stories."
"Storytelling?" Mu Wanjun blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
Tu Ran nodded. "Well, at that time, I was very curious when I came down the mountain, so I would gather with some children from the town to listen to his stories. I once gave him an apple to eat, and he told me many interesting stories. Including the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars painted on the coffin, each story was very vivid. Later, I remember he once told a story about a love Gu, and the protagonist was from your Mu family in southern Sichuan."
"The crazy old man said something at that time."
"What?"
"Bei Huo Nan Mu, an extremely poisonous creature."
"Hahahaha, that's quite an accurate assessment, very interesting. But he's right. Up to now, in the entire country of 9.6 million acres of land, only our Mu and Huo families are the best at using poison. If we two families take action, even those powerful and experienced Taoists from Maoshan and Quanzhen will retreat three feet away from us."
"So, you are the one from the Chuannan Mu family who knows how to use poison, right?"
"Yes, it's the Mu family."
"Then do you know how to use love Gu?" Tu Ran was also curious. He had only heard legends about the Mu family in folk tales before. He never thought that many years later, he would actually meet a descendant of the Mu family, and he would also be his first friend.
"That thing is too low-end and boring."
Tu Ran: ...
"Don't look at me like that. Do you think I'm bragging?"
Tu Ran: ...
"It's really too low. Love Gu is very simple, but using it to control someone to love you is a tragedy in itself. Everyone in our family has no problem with their IQ, but almost no one uses it. Some distant relatives on the side branches have used it before, but... there is a price to pay."
"What's the price?"
"Go to the police station and use the sewing machine."
Tu Ran: ...
"I thought this was not illegal..." Tu Ran sighed.
"Love is definitely not against the law, but ambitions that involve personal safety and so on are not allowed. Do you think the government is a pushover? They have professional metaphysical institutions. Once someone in the community crosses the line, they will take action. The senior leader and our previous generation's clan leader also had a gentleman's agreement."
"Just don't use these things to harm others."
"The authorities also ensured that we would not be disturbed by the outside world."
"I've heard of this. There are still many undeveloped scenic spots in the southwest, and they are said to be inhabited by ethnic minorities."
"So, don't worry about getting me into trouble."
"I'm not afraid at all."
"I even want to investigate with you to find out who is so bold."
"How dare you use these evil techniques to harm others."
"I really have to investigate further. I can't just sit there and wait for death. It looks like the other party won't let Sun Bo go, nor will they let me go." Tu Ran had thought it through clearly. It was impossible to hide.
The fact that the other party had tried to kill Sun Bo several times was enough to make her furious.
"Tu Tu, you're not a simple person either, right?"
"You are very special."
Tu Ran remained silent...
In fact, she doesn't know how to describe herself, but she is indeed not an ordinary person. She knew this when she was very young, so she is particularly low-key and doesn't want to attract attention.
"It's okay, I'm not a normal person either."
"Two freaks who just happen to be friends, haha."
Mu Wanjun put her arm around Tu Ran's shoulders and smiled brightly.
Tu Ran took a deep breath, started the car, and the two returned to school and had lunch in the cafeteria.
However, Tu Ran didn't expect to see Xie Huailan at school.
Xie Huailan's black G63 was parked in a very conspicuous manner at the side door of the school.
This side door is also the entrance that Tu Ran often enters and exits.
"Niece-in-law, can we talk?"
Seeing Tu Ran coming out, Xie Huailan took off his black sunglasses and affectionately called her "niece-in-law".
"Sorry, I don't interfere in the group's affairs."
"You can go find Xie Nancheng. It's useless to find me."
Tu Ran thought that this woman came to ask her to persuade Xie Nancheng to go back to work.
But in fact, Xie Huailan had already gone back. The old lady spoke and Xie Nancheng agreed.
However, Tu Ran did not ask about the affairs of these groups and did not know their progress.
"I want to talk about you."
"Get in the car and talk?"
Tu Ran looked at the classmates coming and going around him, and didn't want to be the center of attention, so he followed Xie Huailan into the car without saying a word.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" She pretended and was too lazy to call her Second Aunt.
But Xie Huailan didn't care about these things, she was extorting money with a purpose.
"My sister-in-law hates you to the extreme now, you know that?"
"She has already found someone to replace you, and that's Zhou Han."
"On the surface, she's a goddaughter, but everyone knows she's actually creating opportunities for Zhou Han and Nan Cheng to get close."
"Once the two of them get together, Zhou Han will directly take the position of Young Madam, and she will no longer be a goddaughter."
"So?" Tu Ran said calmly.
"So then you will be out, and you will be kicked out of the Xie family by your mother-in-law."
"Although I don't like you either, I dislike Zhou Han even more."
"Because Zhou Han has the Zhou family behind her, and she is an ambitious person, she is not easy to deal with. Compared with the Zhou family, you are alone, so it is better to keep you." Xie Huailan explained the pros and cons of this word by word.
"Then why are you looking for me?"
