The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 414 Don't play tricks if you lose
Seeing that he was willing to answer, Qilan moved a bench by the door and put it in front of him, "Let's sit down and chat, it's rare that there are no people here in the middle of the night."

Li Yan straightened his clothes and sat upright, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.The little scholar seems to have come prepared, what information is he going to dig out of him?
Sure enough, Qilan asked a question as soon as he sat down firmly. "Brother Li, I came to deliver medicine on New Year's Eve, and I had a long talk with Lin Mi's father. You stood outside for a while, right?"

As if he hadn't heard, he stood up abruptly, took the medicine jar on the stove and twirled it in his hand.It is obvious that neither admits nor denies.Qilan saw that his attitude was very perfunctory, so he had no choice but to pour out all the things he said clearly because of embarrassment.

"Brother Li left for a long time that night. He said he was shopping and playing. But I took a flashlight and looked behind the tree, and saw your eyes were red, obviously from crying. Can you tell me what happened? See Who has passed?"

"Don't dig into my private affairs, okay? Tell me, why do you always follow us? It used to be good, but now it's even more frequent. Isn't it foresight and other plans?"

He was born with a sharp tongue, and in a few words, he took back the right to speak, and even choked the other party.It seems that you can't fight the frontal battlefield, you can only go around the corner.

"Since you and I both want to cross-examine each other, we might as well have a competition first. The loser has to answer the winner's questions well, and no cheating is allowed."

"What are you competing for? Fighting?" Li Yan smiled disdainfully, "Are you sure you can beat me? I am the one who, Young Master Lin Yitang, dare not throw his fist casually."

"Aren't you afraid of making noise in the middle of the night and attracting the police to arrest you here?"

"Little scholar, if you really want to fight, let's go out and find a road with few people. I will not underestimate you. At the young lady's birthday party, the young master took a fan and wanted to slap you to death. In the end, you threw his precious fan Into the pond in the garden, haha!"

Li Yan probably felt that Lin Yitang's angry appearance was very relieved, so Li Yan laughed out loud. "You just walked away, and our entire guard team was forced by him to drain the pond water to find a fan, and we were tossing like crazy."

Hearing him speak vividly, Qilan couldn't help interjecting: "He spent so much money and money on a fan, could it be a family heirloom?"

"Exactly. The fan of the Lin family has been passed down for at least five generations, but it was damaged by blisters in the hands of a young master. Everyone in the family said it was not a good omen, and the incense might be broken."

"At first I also thought it was superstition, so I didn't take it to heart," Li Yan sighed. "Later, during the shootout in Tianjin, the young master was shot and almost died. Not long ago, he was charged with an unwarranted murder suspect."

"It's getting late, hurry up and set the rules of the game." Qilan was really anxious, afraid that the more he talked, the more addicted he would be, and he wouldn't be able to finish talking until dawn.

"Okay, okay, I know what's in my mind. It's better than someone who saves time and fills my stomach—" Li Yan raised his finger and pointed to a stove where sparks were still shining, "Under the stove ash is what I buried when I was cooking in the afternoon. Sweet potato, I plan to make it for supper when I'm hungry at night."

"Okay!" Qilan said while looking at his watch, "In 5 minutes, whoever eats the most wins, how about it?"

Li Yan ran to the stove, took a fire stick and pulled out a dozen or so fragrant sweet potatoes.

"Let's eat!" He grabbed the nearest one, tore open the skin in an instant, blew on it, and chewed it.He had done physical work for a day, and he had to take care of Mr. Lin after the work. Naturally, he had a good appetite, and he would eat it in two or three bites.

Qilan had just had a dinner of fish, meat and snacks from the Baijia Medical Center, and she wasn't hungry at all.The sweet potatoes are all round, and the smallest one is as big as a fist.I'm a little worried that I won't be able to eat soon and walk away.

There was already a small pile of sweet potato skins at Li Yan's feet.If you eat three in a row, you are sure of winning.He glanced at Qilan, who was still struggling with the second sweet potato, and felt that the other party would lose.

This victory came much easier than fighting.He relaxed, reaching into his pocket for a piece of paper to wipe his mouth.When he was holding the paper, he accidentally brought out a silk handkerchief, which slipped silently to the ground.

"Brother Li, you lost your things." Qilan accidentally reminded him kindly.The apprentice's words echoed in Li Yan's ears:

"Master, where did you get this handkerchief?"

"Master, you must have a good girl!"

The stunned apprentice could still tell that it was a girl's handkerchief.He was afraid that Qilan would inquire about seeing He Shi'an and Mrs. Lin at the gate of Li Ji's tailor shop on New Year's Eve.This handkerchief should not have appeared at this critical moment.

The guilty Li Yan immediately dropped the sweet potato in his hand to pick up the handkerchief.Picking up the handkerchief and seeing it was stained with dust, he quietly lowered his head and patted it.

Seizing this hard-won opportunity, Qilan wiped out the three and a half sweet potatoes with difficulty, and was so moved by his desperate spirit that he hiccupped.On the watch, 5 minutes is just full.

"I won, brother Li. I ate half more. I lost, uh, don't play tricks—"

"I admit defeat." Li Yan quickly put the handkerchief back into his pocket, and turned around, "I saw my wife that night. She went into the tailor's shop."

"Is she still in the city? I thought she had gone back to the south to hide." Qilan smiled gratifiedly, "Have you talked to your wife yet?"

"Hey, don't mention it." He spread his hands helplessly, "I don't bring any money and I don't bring a gun. How can people just enter such a place."

Although this man has a bit of a sharp mouth, his personality is not smooth.He didn't say it out loud, and deliberately concealed the part where he met Shi'an.He just told Qilan repeatedly not to tell the father and daughter of the Lin family, for fear that they would be powerless and cause troubles in vain.

As he talked, he began to worry. "We have encountered too many strange things recently. The small broken yard we rented was inexplicably caught in a fire, and we escaped overnight. Caiwei said that the landlady's cat ate the owner first, and then set fire to the yard."

Qilan patted him on the shoulder, "I don't believe it anyway. If this cat can kill people and set fire to it, wouldn't all the animals in the city and the countryside have to be refined?"

"There are a lot of things that are wrong. On the same day, the young master and I ran into Sergeant Liu and the others twice in a row on the road and in the teahouse. It's really evil. We finally got together in this inn, and the young master left alone to go to jail Caiwei went to look for him, but he hasn’t come back yet. Jianhua hasn’t seen anyone for three or four days.”

Li Yan squatted down a little tiredly. "Little scholar, don't waste food, come and eat it all. It's not in vain that I have said so much with my heart and soul."

Qilan showed embarrassment.Suddenly, a little boy snorting his nose came in at the door. "Master, you are not kind. Give me some delicious food!"

The little apprentice was very hungry, he glanced at the three and a half sweet potatoes left on the ground, grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth.
