I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 146 Successor

Everyone in the Crescent Valley village came to see Old Li off for the last time.

Xin Youran walked among the crowd. It was her first time to go to the place she was going to. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, but the closer she got to her destination, she found that the place was full of wild gardenias!

She had always wanted to go up the mountain to look for wild gardenias, which are a very good traditional Chinese medicine.

Unexpectedly, Lao Li’s wife and daughter were buried here.

The old monster said that according to Lao Li's will, he wanted to be buried with his wife.

Their daughter Li Ying was buried next to her mother's tomb.

It was already evening after she buried Old Li. Only then did she remember that she had to go to the capital to get blood for Mu Yuan today.

It's just that I used to be able to ride in Lao Li's carriage to enter and exit Crescent Valley, but now Lao Li is no longer here...

"Old monster, now that Old Li is gone, does that mean we can't enter Crescent Valley anymore?"

The old monster was not like Xin Youran, who had all his sorrow written all over his face, but he could actually smile?

Maybe it’s because I’m old and I’ve become indifferent to life and death?

He smiled and said, "Old Li has already arranged it."

"The one who brought you back last night is Lao Li's successor."

Xin Youran looked surprised, "Are you talking about Lao Guan?"

"Isn't he a clerk at Anhe Pharmacy?"

How did he become a courier for Crescent Valley? Could he be working part-time?

"Don't underestimate Lao Guan. He's a martial artist. Not only does he know medicine, he also learned carpentry from Lao Li for a long time."

"Old Li has already entrusted his affairs after his death to you, Old Guan."

"He made plans since he learned you were missing."

Was the time when Xueying disappeared when she was in Xinghua Village?

"What did Lao Li plan to do?"

The old monster sighed deeply, "Your disappearance is extremely painful for many people. Many people are willing to sacrifice their lives to find you..."

Xin Youran:!

Is Blood Shadow so important to them?

"Are these people all from Crescent Valley?"

"Is this really a Blood Shadow? No, was it created by my previous self?"

The old monster then realized that he had said too much, and he didn't want to add any more psychological burden to the amnesiac Blood Shadow.

"You'll know all this when you slowly recall it."

"Go ahead. Lao Guan is already waiting for you at the old place at the east end of the village."

"He's still a clerk at Anhe Pharmacy, but from now on he can only leave the village at 12:00 AM and return at 12:00 PM. There are no other times. Remember the time."

"Today is an exception."

Xin Youran even suspected that the old monster had the ability to read minds.

"Old monster, you are really becoming more and more understanding. Thank you."

As she spoke, she ran towards the east end of the village. Before she had gone far, she was stopped by the old monster. He said earnestly, "Is it worth it for you to do this every day for that Mu Yuan?"

She thought it was something important, but Xin Youran turned around and said, "Oh, I thought it was something important. What's the point of it? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You can't just stand by and watch someone die, right?"

After saying that, she waved to the old monster and trotted off to find Lao Guan.

The old monster looked at Xin Youran's hurriedly leaving back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Yes, I can't just watch someone die without helping, right? She often said this.

When he heard these words for the first time, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He actually heard such words from the mouth of an assassin.

When did she lead me astray?

When Xin Youran ran to the old place where Lao Li used to be, she saw Lao Guan standing in the same place as Lao Li before, feeding grass to the horse.

That back looks just like him!

"Old Li!"

She greeted him as usual, and when she saw "Old Li" turn around, Old Guan's appearance became clearer and she burst into tears.

Yes, I will never see Lao Li again, the man who is usually taciturn and seems unkind, but can risk his life for others at critical moments.

Seeing this, Lao Guan didn't know what to say. He just stammered, "Let's go, shall we? It's getting late and the sun will set."

"oh oh……"

Xin Youran quickly wiped the tears from her face. She had been crying a lot recently. She wondered if it had any effect on the human skin mask. She would have to ask Wei Mayan when she got back.

When she got on the carriage, she realized that this carriage was not the same one that Lao Li had used before.

But the style is exactly the same, except that the place where the axe was before has been replaced by two big swords...

Moreover, Lao Li’s previous carriage had been shot by many arrows, but this one was intact.

"Lao Guan, where is the carriage that Lao Li drove earlier?"

"Did you do this?"

Lao Guan nodded and said, "This was made under the guidance of my master. The workmanship is definitely not comparable to that of my master."

"I plan to repair that carriage. For the time being, I will use this one I made."

Xin Youran couldn't help but take a closer look at the furnishings in the carriage. The specifications and interior were almost exactly the same, but there was an extra vase on the tea table, and the vase contained the wild gardenias she had seen at Lao Li's cemetery before.

It seems that Lao Guan also likes this kind of flower. I heard from the old monster that he also studied medicine, so it is reasonable for him to like wild gardenia.

Could it be that she had met Lao Guan many times on the bus before, whom she thought was the deaf-mute brother at the time, and was he following Lao Li to familiarize himself with the route?

The carriage driven by Lao Guan was indeed faster than the one driven by Lao Li before, and they arrived at the capital city quickly.

After Xin Youran got off the carriage, she specifically asked Lao Guan, "Lao Guan, how much do I have to pay you for a ride? Lao Li never asked me for money before, and I feel really bad about it."

As she said this, she quickly took out her purse and prepared to pay for the taxi.

Lao Guan waved his hand quickly, "It's not about money, it's polite. My sister really likes the gardenia ointment you gave her last time."

"Sister?"

"You still have a younger sister, so thank her for loving you for me. If you don't have another one, tell me and I'll give her another one."

"The wild gardenias on the tea table were also placed by your sister, right?"

"So lovely!"

"Thank you, Lao Guan. I have something urgent to do and have to leave first."

"If you don't wait for me at 11:00 PM from now on, don't wait for me anymore. Just go back first."

Lao Guan turned his head and glanced at the bottle of gardenias, a rare smile appearing on his face.

"okay."

Looking at Lao Guan like this, Xin Youran suddenly thought of the "deaf-mute brother" who had never said a word to her. Isn't the gap too big?

"Lao Guan, I'm curious. When we were riding in Lao Li's carriage together, I kept talking to you, but you didn't even glance at me."

"I thought you were deaf and dumb, hehe."

When Lao Guan heard this, his eyes widened. Perhaps he didn't expect Xin Youran to think so.

But he didn't know whether he should tell her. In fact, it was the old monster who told everyone not to talk to her casually, saying that they had to wait until she recovered her memory before they could get along like before.
