Chapter 114 That's Not My Grandma
Zhou Lang raised his eyes and said calmly, "Where do you want to go? Is there anywhere to go?"
"I have martial arts skills. I won't starve to death. I can go anywhere..." The little mute girl's eyes were confused yet determined, very complicated.
What is confusing is the future.
What is firm is determination.
Zhou Lang said, "Then you and I have no say. You are a child that my wife picked up. If you want to leave, you should tell her first. You can leave only after she agrees."
The little mute girl hesitated.
Zhou Lang added, "If you leave without saying goodbye like this, she will scold me if I go back. And there is a killer chasing you, and she knows it. If you don't go back and let her see that you are intact, she will worry about you in the house."
This time, the little mute girl remained silent.
He obediently followed Zhou Lang back to Old Zhou's house.
***
Lin Shiqi was suffering in the house.
She knew when Zhou Lang left.
Although she fell asleep at that time, she was worried and did not sleep very deeply.
As soon as Zhou Lang stood up, she knew.
She wanted to go and take a look, but Zhou Lang wouldn't let her go, so she gave him the flashlight and told him to be careful.
So, I waited for a long time.
It's like a year in a day.
If she hadn't known clearly that she was a rookie and would only be a hindrance if she went, she would have gone out to find someone.
She was relieved when she saw Zhou Lang bringing the little mute girl back.
"Are you all right? You guys? Where's the killer?"
The mute girl replied, "We are fine..."
Lin Shiqi almost jumped up, "You, you are dumb, aren't you? Good! You little brat, you are lying again, aren't you?"
Although the doors and windows were closed in the room, they still had to speak in a low voice.
It's too quiet at night.
Although Lin Shiqi was excited, he still restrained himself.
The mute girl admitted, "I'm sorry, stepmother."
Lin Shiqi curled his lips, "What stepmother? Call me mother!"
Little dumb girl...
He couldn't call out his name. Lin Shiqi and his wife were only about ten years older than him.
Logically speaking, it's not bad to call them brother or sister.
But Mrs. Zhou had already determined the father-daughter and mother-daughter relationship between them, and everyone outside knew that he was their adopted son.
He was making things difficult for himself by calling this his adoptive father and mother.
Zhou Lang came to his rescue and talked about the two assassins, "Your sleeve crossbow is very useful, and the assassins were not prepared and were fully focused on the mute girl..."
A before and after.
After hearing this, Lin Shiqi was speechless.
"Is it buried securely?"
"Buried tightly."
Lin Shiqi stroked his chest and said, "That's good."
The little mute girl expressed her intention to leave again.
Lin Shiqi scolded him, "You are so young, where are you going? It's freezing cold now, where are you going? Your grandmother entrusted you to us..."
The mute girl corrected him, "That's not my grandmother, that's my mother's personal nanny."
"They are also your elders and they really want the best for you. Tell me what deep hatreds there are in your family and what major incidents have occurred. You must explain everything to me today. You pretended to be dumb before and I couldn't control you. But you must stop pretending today and tell me everything..." Lin Shiqi also became angry.
What came in return was a long silence from the little mute girl.
Finally, he said,
"Adoptive father and mother, I can't tell you. It won't do you any good if you know too much. My family is a big family, but we were framed and my parents died. My mother asked the nanny to take me out so I could escape, but those people wouldn't let me go. They are very powerful and they are not someone my adoptive father and mother can deal with. If they hadn't found this place, I could still live here. Now that they have found this place, even if we kill these two people, there is no guarantee that there will be accomplices who will continue to come looking for us. My adoptive father and mother have been very kind to me, and I can't harm you or Grandma Zhou and the others..."
Lin Shiqi still wanted to scold him.
He was stopped by Zhou Lang.
"Don't embarrass the kid. Forget it. He can talk to him when he wants to. The two killers have been killed. We found some things on them. They should be people who live in the Jianghu Inn in the county town. It will snow tomorrow morning, so the second brother won't be delivering the goods. The two of us will go to deliver the goods and go to the Jianghu Inn in the county town to check the situation first. We can see if there are any accomplices or what's going on..."
Lin Shiqi calmed down and said, "Okay."
Zhou Lang said to the mute girl, "You should stay at Old Zhou's house for the time being until we come back after finding out the situation. Since we have adopted you, we will be responsible for you."
The little mute girl's nose felt sore and she lowered her head, "Thank you, foster father and foster mother."
Lin Shiqi was not convinced, "What father and mother?"
The little guy changed his words obediently, "Dad, Mom..."
These two words are touching and intimate.
He had never called out these two words before. These are the two words that children from ordinary families should call out.
"Change your dirty clothes and I'll wash them for you. Go to bed first."
His clothes were spattered with blood.
His face had been washed clean with spring water in the mountains.
There were no blood stains on the clothes.
The little mute girl agreed.
He took off his outer garment and went back to his room.
"Don't be afraid, we are here. You should just pretend to be a little girl and be mute. Don't reveal your true identity."
"Um."
…
After the little guy returned to his room, only Zhou Lang and Lin Shiqi were left in the room.
The two couldn't sleep and had a lot to talk about.
Then he entered the space of the concentric lock.
Return to Lin Shiqi’s home.
"Zhou Lang, this guy's identity is mysterious, and I always feel like something is wrong!"
Zhou Lang took out the crossbow from his sleeve and asked, "Tell me what's wrong?"
This thing is quite dangerous.
It is best to remove it when not in use.
So as not to hurt your own people.
Install it when needed.
Lin Shiqi scratched his head. "It's written in the book that Longquan Town hunted down the former prince's orphan, but they were hunting down the former prince's orphan. Why did they hunt down our little mute girl? Didn't Zhou Qinan rescue the former prince's orphan? Did those killers get the wrong person?"
"Looking at the little mute girl's expression, I think she was right in chasing me." Zhou Lang said without even turning his head.
Lin Shiqi was even more confused. "So that's why! This is not right. No wonder the mute girl is the prince's orphan?"
"That's also possible." Zhou Lang replied.
Lin Shiqi jumped up all of a sudden, "If he is the orphan of the crown prince, then who did Zhou Qinan save?"
"Who knows?"
Lin Shiqi was confused again. "The orphan of the crown prince will be the cruel new emperor in the future. He has done many bad things and is not a good emperor at all! Didn't we save the wrong person? We have to let the assassin kill him!"
Zhou Lang's mouth twitched. "At present, it seems that the mute girl does not have a cruel character. She is a good child who understands reason and gratitude, but she is a little decisive. Besides, Zhou Qinan's previous performance should have saved the prince's orphan. The mute girl might be from another family and just happened to meet her. There is no misunderstanding."
Lin Shiqi thought for a moment, "Yes, you are right. Ya Niang is a good child. She is definitely not the orphan of the crown prince. The cruel new emperor must have misunderstood something. It is also our fault.
