As soon as she entered the yard, Mu Liner breathed a sigh of relief and shrugged the strap of her schoolbag. After such a long journey, she finally returned to the home that she had left for ten years.
"Grandpa, Lin 'er is back." Mu Liner looked at the flowers and plants that were well taken care of. It was as if she could see her grandpa squatting down to tidy up weeds and catch insects.
"Grandfather?" The door of the house was closed. Mu Liner didn't push the door directly. She carried her bag and walked to the stone path on the left. She guessed that her grandpa should be behind her!
She remembered that grandpa was old and had trouble hearing.
There was no one in front, and there was still no one behind.
Creak!
"Little girl, your speed is really slow!" An old voice sounded the moment Mu Lin 'er opened the door.
"Who are you?" There were a few burly men in black standing in the room. An old man was sitting on a wooden chair made by his grandfather.
But Mu Lin 'er couldn't see her grandpa, so she panicked.
"Hello, who are you looking for? What's the matter at my house? "No matter when, Grandpa had always said that one must be polite and use diplomacy before force.
The old man gestured for the men in black to leave, leaving behind a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He said, "Little girl, why did you reject the job at the research institute?"
Research institute? When Mu Lin 'er heard the old man's thoughts, her heart skipped a beat. There was a trace of vigilance and anxiety in her eyes. These people: "What did you do to my grandfather?"
"Indeed, I didn't choose the wrong person. It really suits him." When the old man heard Mu Lin 'er's question, his face showed a trace of joy without a trace.
Him? Mu Lin'er was confused. She didn't know what the old man was talking about. She was just very anxious to see her grandfather. There were so many people in the house, and it had been half a day, but Grandpa still hadn't appeared.
The old man whispered something to the middle-aged man. Mu Lin 'er didn't care. She went straight to her grandfather's room. She pulled open the curtain, but there was no one there.
"What did you do to my grandfather?" Mu Lin'er turned around and stared at the people in front of her with tears in her eyes.
She knew she could not shed tears.
"Your grandfather? I don't think he went to be a guest! "The middle-aged man standing next to the old man said.
Guest? Mu Lin 'er sneered in her heart. "Hehe, what a nice way to put it.
"Speak! What do you want from my family? Or, what do you want from me? "Mu Lin 'er heard the man's voice. It was very familiar, and within a few seconds, she remembered something.
Wasn't this person the influential figure in the medical industry three years ago? The report he published, the herb that had long been extinct, shocked the medical world.
That report, that herb! This person was truly shameless.
Thinking of this, Mu Lin 'er knew that she had implicated her grandfather.
"If you let go of my grandfather, I will agree to anything." Mu Lin 'er was still too naive, so she hurriedly stated her conditions.
"Your grandfather …" The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the old man.
"Well, the little girl is really filial." The old man didn't look at the pair of puzzled eyes around him. He just looked at Mu Lin 'er and walked towards her.
"Little girl, don't worry. As long as you complete this mission, this old man will give you. In the future, you will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth with your grandfather." After the old man finished speaking, the middle-aged man behind him came back to his senses and supported him.
Mu Lin 'er didn't expect that after ten years away from home, she would have to embark on the road of this task before she saw her grandfather. The old man said, "Don't worry, I just want you to help me find a stone. It's not illegal."
The old man's tone was very casual, so Mu Lin 'er didn't feel any pressure. But she didn't expect the next scene, which made Mu Lin 'er feel that this was the world of science.
The middle-aged man handed Mu Lin 'er a jewelry box, which contained a crystal bracelet.
"You take it! Cut your index finger, and you will go to the world that has what I need. After I find it, I will let you come back. "The old man's eyes were full of passion.
Mu Lin 'er didn't think that she had met a madman, because she also had secrets that couldn't be explained by science.
She bit her index finger, and the blood seeped into the crystal bracelet. After a while, Mu Lin 'er was wrapped in a circle of white light. The light became more and more intense. Mu Lin' er found that her head was about to explode. It hurts!
The light in the eyes of the old man and the middle-aged man was no less intense than the dazzling white light on Mu Lin 'er's body.
"Ah! It hurts … "Mu Lin 'er's voice disappeared with the white light. The moment she disappeared, a ray of purple light followed her.
"Ah! Grandpa, that is, that is, purple? " The middle-aged man was surprised to see the place where Mu Lin 'er disappeared. He remembered that his grandpa said that the ancestor's letter recorded the white light.
"Yes, I saw it too." The old man didn't know whether his wish would be destroyed by the purple light!
The old man and the middle-aged man explained a bit, and then went out. They didn't know when a helicopter had stopped outside.
Ah! Ah! Ah! Mu Lin 'er sat in the overgrown yard, sighing all morning. His short and chubby hands propped up his round head with great effort. This little head was really heavy!
"Sister, blame your brother for being useless. I couldn't steal food, otherwise, you wouldn't be hungry." Next to her was a yellow-faced, emaciated young man, who almost didn't look like a human, looking at the dazed Mu Lin 'er with tears on his face.
"Alas!" Mu Lin 'er sighed again when she didn't hear this. Where did that old man send him to! Ah, I don't know how grandpa is.
She didn't know if she took over someone else's body, or if the old man turned her into a fat girl without parents. No, there was also a thin brother. Thinking of this, Mu Lin 'er turned to look at her brother, Mu Linlong. This child looked much better than her in this life. If she was well-nourished, she would probably be a beautiful porcelain doll!
She got some information from her brother's mouth. Her name was still the same.
This world was called the Sacred Sky Continent. It was divided into four big countries: Dongxuan, Emperor Nan, Xizhu, and Beilian. There were also some small countries at the border and some mysterious families.
However, Mu Lin 'er was a commoner in one of the small families in Emperor Nan. Mu Lin 'er also learned that she and her brother were thrown to this remote place by their families. Because they were fifteen years old, but they didn't have any element. They were called useless in this world.
"Brother, what element are you?" Mu Lin 'er stopped sighing. Let nature take its course! But suddenly, her brain wasn't working well, and she asked a question without thinking.
"I …" Nothing. Thinking of this, Mu Linlong's face was depressed. After their mother died, their father also disliked him and his sister and married the young lady of another family.
That beautiful stepmother encouraged their father to throw him and his sister here. Thinking of this, he clenched his fists. He was useless, so his sister fainted from hunger.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." She just didn't know what to say. She was very hungry and had nothing to eat. Sigh.
Looking at her brother's dazed appearance, Mu Lin 'er really wanted to slap herself! Really, she touched the pot that didn't boil.
"Ahem, brother, our house is too shabby!" Mu Lin 'er really didn't know how to describe this yard.
Mu Lin 'er was very hungry. Her brother was still in a daze, so she had to find food herself. But after looking inside and outside, there was no food left.
"Sister, what are you looking for?" Mu Linlong, who came back to his senses, saw his sister walking around the house, and he followed her.
Huh? Why did his sister, who was usually as timid as a mouse and only knew how to eat, talk so much and ask so many questions today? She was still walking around the house.
"Brother, what do we usually eat? Ah! " As soon as she turned around, she bumped into Mu Linlong. Mu Linlong, who was in pain, raised his hand. His tattered sleeve slid down. At this time, Mu Lin 'er saw that Mu Linlong's thin arm was full of scars, and some of the wounds were bloodstained.
"Brother, what's wrong?" In the past, there was a grandfather who loved her. Now, there was a brother. Although he looked like a younger brother, it felt good.
"In the morning, a kind-hearted person who passed by the village gave me a bun, but the little beggar, Faydy, snatched it from me. I couldn't beat him, so I was beaten." Mu Linlong wanted to say nothing, but when he saw the look in his sister's eyes, he blurted out everything.
"Hey, brother, wait for me." Mu Lin 'er said as she walked into the kitchen she just saw.
"Sister, what are you doing? We have no food at home. "He thought that Mu Lin 'er was hungry and wanted to sit down to eat.
"I'm going to boil some hot water. Brother, can you help me light a fire?" Mu Lin 'er looked for a long time but couldn't find anything in the match.
Mu Linlong didn't ask. He picked up two stones on the stove and touched them to light a fire.
He looked at his brother's method of lighting a fire. It was flint. The kitchen hadn't been used for a long time. Mu Lin 'er quickly cleaned it up and washed the big iron pot.
She used boiling water to gently clean her brother's wound. In the house, she found some old clothes for him to change into.
"Sister, this, this is servant Ah Gu's." Mu Linlong didn't want to wear it. When he and his sister were thrown here, Ah Gu was good to them at first. Who knew that after a few days, Ah Gu left and the living expenses given by their father were also hidden by him.
"It's okay, change. When we make money, I will buy you a new one." She had just found a few silver coins and a gold coin, but Mu Linlong didn't see it.
Unable to persuade Mu Lin 'er, Mu Linlong put on Ah Gu's clothes. His body was thin, so wearing Ah Gu's fat clothes made him feel like he was singing in a drama.
"Little Long, Little Long, are you at home?" A shout came from the yard.
Mu Linlong hurriedly ran out: "Aunt Da, I am here. Sister and I are boiling hot water."
Mu Lin 'er saw that the fire in the stove was too big, so she didn't go out. She was afraid that she would give herself away. Her brother was still young, so he was fine. However, if he met a familiar adult, then it would be hard to say.
"Little Lin 'er, I heard from your brother that you are hungry. Poor child!" A middle-aged woman in plain clothes walked in holding her brother's hand.
