Chapter 22 The Hilltop Chalet
"What else can I do? Call 110 first to see if it can be opened." Tang Xien took out her cell phone and called 110, but the result she got made her a little depressed.
The handcuffs can be opened, but Tang Xien must first make a certificate to prove that the handcuffs are relics before they can open them.
Tang Xien almost lost her ladylike demeanor. She didn't have to ask 110 for help where she went to get a relic certificate.
Finally, after all, the 110 was too much to stand it, so he vaguely gave him a trick, which roughly means: "You can't find a locksmith yourself, and you can get the handcuffs away every minute."
Tang Xien blushed slightly and found a piece of clothing to cover the handcuffs. The two of them seemed to be holding hands and looking for a locksmith, but after walking around the ancient city, they couldn't find any locksmiths.
"No, it's too late. The time I made an appointment with Lu Meng is coming. We must go to see Lu Meng first." Tang Xien looked at the time and said anxiously.
"Is it really good to go like this?" Li Mu raised his arm connected with Tang Xien. If he went like this, Tang Xien's beauty would probably be of no use.
"It's all your fault. Now there's nothing you can do. Then you can act according to the opportunity." Tang Xien said helplessly.
Li Mu nodded, and now he had to do this. He followed Tang Xien to find Lu Meng. After arriving at the place, Li Mu looked at Tang Xien with some disbelief and asked, "Is Lu Meng really here?"
"Yes." Tang Xien nodded.
"Really?" Li Mu asked in disbelief.
"Everyone said yes." Tang Xien glared at Li Mu angrily.
Li Mu had to follow Tang Xien into this Chinese medicine store called "Baofangtang" with a strange look. Li Mu was surprised in his heart, how could Lu Meng, a plastic surgeon, be in the Chinese medicine store?
"Lu Meng." Tang Xien saw the man sitting behind the table and was taking the pulse of the person. After the patient left, he stepped forward and said.
"Tang Xien?" Lu Meng looked at Tang Xien for a long time before asking uncertainly.
"Old classmate, we have been missing for a long time." Tang Xien walked to Lu Meng with a smile.
"Yes, we have never met again since we went to study in medical science in other places and then went to Korea to study. It has been a long time since then. Is this your boyfriend?" Lu Meng said to Tang Xien, who was holding hands with Li Mu.
Li Mu did not expect that although Tang Xien did not admit it, he did not deny it, which meant a bit of a default.
Li Mu naturally didn't feel narcissistic enough to think that Tang Xien really liked him, so she said that. She probably didn't want to sacrifice her own color, so she agreed with the flow.
Tang Xien talked to Lu Meng. After Li Mu and Lu Meng met, they looked at Lu Meng from the side, feeling very surprised.
Anyone who sees Lu Meng has to admit that he is a charming handsome man. He is not tall, but he looks very elegant. His eyes are very eye-catching. He looks quite like Tony Leung when he was young, like a somewhat melancholy prince, which makes people want to get close to him.
He looks so unlimited and is a senior plastic surgeon who is fighting for many things. Lu Meng is really the one who doesn't give other men a way to survive, but this is not what surprised Li Mu.
Because Li Mu saw data such as height and measurement in Lu Meng.
"How is this possible? No matter how you look at Lu Meng, you are a 100% man. Crayon Shin-chan can only see women's data, which is completely invalid for men. But why can I see Lu Meng's data? No matter how you look at Lu Meng, they are a 100% man, and they are also an excellent breed that makes 99% of men in the world inferior." Li Mu looked at Lu Meng carefully, trying to find some clues from Lu Meng, but no matter how you look at it, Lu Meng is a charming man.
"Xien, I already understand your purpose, but I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I can't accept your invitation." After Tang Xien explained his purpose, Lu Meng said with a wry smile.
Tang Xien was shocked: "Have you accepted invitations from other hospitals?"
Lu Meng shook his head slightly: "There are indeed many hospitals who have come to see me, but I have not promised any hospital because I cannot go to any hospital."
"Why?" Tang Xien looked at Lu Meng in confusion.
"You should also know that I am the only heir of Baofangtang's generation. Grandpa asked me to inherit Baofangtang, but I had no choice, so I couldn't go to any hospital at all." Lu Meng said helplessly.
"Inheriting Baofangtang? Then the plastic surgery you have studied for so many years is not in vain?" Tang Xien looked at Lu Meng in surprise.
"There is no choice. Who made the only one of the Lu family generations like me? Baofangtang must have an heir. Unless someone can convince my grandfather, I will have to guard Baofangtang in the future and can't go anywhere." Lu Meng was also helpless. He had learned so much plastic surgery, but now he has to come back to run a Chinese pharmacy. It is difficult for him to accept the gap, but there is really no way.
Tang Xien and Li Mu returned without success. Although Lu Meng wanted to invite them to have a meal together, Tang Xien refused.
"It seems that our mission is going to fail. When will we go back to H City?" Li Mu said helplessly. Although Baofangtang is not a well-known Chinese medicine pharmacy, it is inherited by the Lu family after all. Lu Meng is a filial person. His parents went there early, and it was all up to his grandfather to pull him up. He could not disobey Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu was determined to let Lu Meng guard Baofangtang. No one could invite him to leave.
"How could we just go back like this? Since the problem lies with Mr. Lu, we must try to see if we can convince Mr. Lu." Tang Xien gave Li Mu a blank look.
"Then why didn't you let Lu Meng invite Mr. Lu out just now?" Li Mu looked at Tang Xien in confusion.
"Old Master Lu is not in Baofangtang. He has collected several hills in the suburbs to grow herbs. He usually lives on the mountain, so we can just go there." Tang Xien bought some gifts for Li Mu to carry. The two of them took the bus to the suburbs, but they had to go up the mountain by themselves.
"How long will it take to arrive?" Li Mu could no longer hold on until he climbed halfway up the mountain, and his whole body was soaked, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"The old man lives on the top of the mountain." Tang Xien was also very tired and kept wiping his sweat with a tissue paper.
"My God!" Li Mu found a tree stump next to him and sat down. He was tired enough to climb the mountain. He was still carrying so many gifts, and he couldn't walk anymore.
"Don't rest, hurry up and leave. It's already time. We won't be quicker. It will be troublesome when it gets darker and go down the mountain." Tang Xien looked at the sky and said anxiously.
"Sir, please let me rest for a while. I really can't do it anymore, otherwise you will carry these gifts." Li Mu sat there, gasping, pointing at the big bags of gifts.
Tang Xien looked at the gifts and stopped talking. After Li Mu took a break for twenty minutes, the two of them set off again. However, this time they got closer and they rested again. When they reached the top of the mountain, it was already evening. In addition, it was cloudy again, and there was not even a light on the mountain. Although it was only half past six o'clock, they could no longer see the road.
Fortunately, the two had already arrived at Mr. Lu's residence, a wooden two-story building, which was quite unique. Tang Xien knocked on the door outside for a long time, but no one responded.
"It seems that Mr. Lu is not here." Li Mu pushed it casually, and the door opened suddenly. The two of them walked in and looked. Mr. Lu was indeed not here.
"Even if you go to the medicine garden, it's time to come back. Let's wait." Tang Xien didn't want to go back like this.
The two waited for a while, but Mr. Lu did not come back, but the sky was completely dark, and it was raining outside again, there was no electricity here, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen.
"I can only take a night here tonight." Li Mu took a cell phone and took a photo. There were two rooms on the second floor. One looked like Mr. Lu's room, and the other room was neatly tidy and there was no one living there. It should be a guest room.
"If I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the ground." Tang Xien said biting his lip. The two of them were still handcuffed, and there was no way to sleep separately.
"I don't care where you sleep. Anyway, I want to sleep in the bed." Li Mu suddenly fell to the bed, and climbing up the mountain with so many things made him so tired that he was all weak.
Tang Xien looked at the ground. Although it was a wooden floor, the mountain was very wet. You could still see tide worms crawling on the ground, so you really couldn't sleep.
"Boom!" A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the inside of the room. The thunder that seemed to explode outside the room was so scared that Tang Xien threw herself on the bed and hugged the quilt.
"Hey, you can't be so selfish, you can take all the quilts by yourself." Li Mu said dissatisfiedly.
"We sleep in the bed together, but you are not allowed to have any bad thoughts, otherwise I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." Tang Xien looked at the phone's battery, and the sound of wind, rain, and the sound of branches and leaves shaking outside were very scary. He thought that he wouldn't be so scared even if someone was by his side.
"Don't worry, can you still trust me?" Li Mu said confidently.
Although Tang Xien didn't believe in Li Mu, there was no way. He could only lie on the bed with Li Mu side by side. The quilt was not big, it was just a single quilt, and the two of them could not separate too much, otherwise they would not be able to cover the quilt.
Tang Xien was a little scared and kept turning on his phone, making the room a little brighter. Although there was no signal at all, he had to be more at ease when he was on.
But the phone didn't have much call, and before long the phone ran out of power, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and I couldn't see my fingers, and I could only hear all kinds of strange sounds outside.
