Chapter 023: Giving good intentions, doing good deeds, spreading rumors, and spreading rumors are really scary (2)

️"Candied haws... six copper coins per bunch, ten copper coins per bunch!"

"The donkey is rolling, the donkey is rolling."

"Sour plum soup!"

"The big watermelon in the suburbs of Beijing..."

The shouts in the streets and alleys were heard one after another. If Li Lan went shopping with her classmates on weekdays, it would be impossible to move for a while.

But at this time, Li Lan had sneaked out, and Suo Xing's original body was not very developed due to physical reasons, which made it convenient for Li Lan to dress up like a boy.

"Hey, you said that An Lan from the An family has never dared to go out. Is that because he knows that we have..."

"Shh, keep your voice down. How do you know if she can hear us talking now? I heard that she is an evil ghost who came back from the Netherworld of the Underworld!"

"What kind of evil ghost is that? My second uncle's third aunt's eldest grandson heard that it was not an evil ghost at all, but some animal in the lake that became a spirit and possessed Na An Lan."

Li Lan was glad that she had thought carefully and went out dressed as a guard, otherwise she would have been the target of public criticism by now.

"That's a witchcraft. In order to get rid of her third uncle, she can use witchcraft to harm people!" The man said mysteriously, "I heard that her third uncle also has a fortune teller in prison. One of them is crazy and the other is stupid."

"Then you still dare to say it, and I'm not afraid that she might hear it and silence you."

"What am I afraid of? If I walk and sit upright, is it reasonable for her to use magic?"

"Let me tell you, if you are so vicious, it might be some kind of sacrifice!"

"Yes, yes, please tell me in detail..."

If you raise your voice louder, I can hear you clearly, Li Lan thought to herself - those two deserved their punishment. It seems that the punishment for their many evil deeds has finally arrived.

It's just that the rumors outside are so evil. It's no wonder that his father and mother would rather use those obviously lame words to prevent him from going out.

Li Lan didn't even notice it. She didn't know when she subconsciously referred to her original parents as her biological parents.

"Sister, sister, can you give me something to eat?"

The child in front of him had golden brown hair and blue eyes. Li Lan knew at a glance that he was not from the Li country.

"Why did you call me sister?"

"You don't feel like those men."

The child's sincerity made Li Lan stunned. Could it be that the child could feel the difference in yin and yang energy.

"You're not from Li country, are you?"

"No, my father is, but he passed away."

Oh, then the mother of this child is probably a foreigner who came to the country of Li to trade. She gave birth to the child and returned to the country. But I don’t know whether the father in the child’s mouth is a kind person or the child’s biological father.

"Why don't you go to Xuanyun Temple?"

"Xuanyun Temple?" The child's father should have taught the child a lot of knowledge before his death, at least he did not want the child to become illiterate.

"I'm not...well, from Jingzhao."

Li Lan understood that this child had just arrived in Jingzhao, so he didn't know that Xuanyunguan accepted foreign orphans like them.

The Lonely Garden of Li State is for the locals of Li State. It is expected that this child will be living abroad, and his parents must be foreigners.

"Then just follow me. I happen to be going to Xuanyun Temple, so just follow me..."

"The Taoist priests there will treat you as their own child. My sister went out in a hurry and didn't bring any money, otherwise I would definitely give it to you."

The child stopped talking and followed Li Lan to Xuanyun Temple.

How could a thin guard boy with a foreign child not attract attention?

Li Lan felt the gaze along the way and couldn't help but sigh, "You should stay away from me. My sister is in Jingzhao City... and she is a little worried."
