Chapter 239 Beheading
"Baby, what's your name?"
"Lu Yunhan." Yuanyuan was eating milk cake and spoke very slowly, "Auntie, you can call me Yuanyuan."
"Okay, Yuanyuan is so good." Mrs. Meng handed over the sandalwood box with a smile, "Aunt Meng gives you a meeting gift."
Yuanyuan's two short legs were dangling, and her big black eyes were just staring at the box, but she didn't reach out to take it.
Seeing this, Mrs. Meng opened the box directly, took out the longevity lock inside and hung it around the little milk baby's neck.
At this moment, Shang Wan opened the door and came out.
"Mother!" Yuanyuan ran over with her legs snapping, hugged Shang Wan's legs like a koala, and raised her white face, "Auntie, a greeting gift."
She stretched her neck hard and showed her mother the longevity lock hanging around her neck.
"Then would you like to thank aunt?" Shang Wan bent down and picked up the baby.
Yuanyuan tilted her head, looked at Madam Meng with her big eyes, and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Little darling, come and let Aunt Meng hug you." Madam Meng smiled and opened her hands. Yuanyuan did not hesitate and threw herself into Madam Meng's arms, wrapping her little hands around her neck.
Shang Wan seemed to see a flash of tears in Madam Meng's eyes. Just as he was about to take a closer look, Madam Meng had already turned around and walked downstairs with Yuanyuan in her arms, beckoning Shang Wan to follow her as she walked.

The chef at the inn is very good at cooking, especially the charcoal grilled lamb chops, which are tender, juicy and full of flavor.
Shang Wan put down his cup and looked inside the lobby in a blink of an eye.
The decoration of the inn is simple, without too many fancy decorations.
It was past dinner time and there were not many guests in the lobby. Apart from their table, there were only two tables of guests.
There were four men sitting at one table, drinking and chatting, looking rather depressed and depressed.
There was a family of three at one table, and the man was calling the waiter to come over and pay.
Just as Shang Wan was about to look away, the words "curse" and "dead man" suddenly entered her ears.
She turned around and saw that the one speaking was the most tender-faced of the four men. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old. He was dressed as a warrior and had a machete beside him.
As if aware of Shang Wan's gaze, the man suddenly looked up. When he met Shang Wan's gaze, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features are Zhou Zheng.
It was this smile that had a hint of teasing, and it looked greasy, blinding that face in vain.
When ordinary women are looked at like this, they will avoid looking at her, either shyly or annoyed, but they have to give some reaction.
Shang Wan did not. She looked at the man intently with an expressionless face until the man couldn't stand her gaze and turned his head first.
That's it?
Shang Wan curled his lips and looked away. He took out his handkerchief and wiped Yuanyuan's mouth while listening to the conversation over there.
"Another one died."
"It's a curse, it's a curse! I've warned him a long time ago, but he didn't listen!"
"But my boss has already asked someone to check it, and there is nothing wrong with those things."
"Then where do you think the curse came from?"
"Why are you being mean to me? It's not the curse that I caused."
"Stop arguing, while you can still breathe, drink a few more sips of wine."
"Can we really not escape?"
"Escape? Haha, Qiangzi escaped, and he didn't die by the river. If it's really a curse, no one can escape."
"Don't think about those people, just drink and drink."
"Yes, let's drink. Let's have a drink today and get drunk today."
The four of them were already a little drunk. The thought of the curse made them feel bad. They were also worried that they would be the next to die, so they could only rely on alcohol to numb themselves.
Half an hour later, the four of them were staggeringly supporting each other out of the inn door, smelling of alcohol.
The window on the second floor was half opened. Shang Wan, who was standing by the window, looked away, lowered his head and pinched the baby's cheek, "My dear, do you want to go for a walk with mother or stay in the inn to sleep?" "Take a walk?" ." Yuanyuan hugged her mother's neck tightly without any hesitation.
"Be good." Shang Wan climbed out of the window with the baby in his arms and followed quietly behind the four of them.
The cold wind was blowing, and Yuanyuan buried most of her face in the cloak, only revealing a pair of bright black eyes.
Fun! !

"I'm back." In front of the inn, Mrs. Lou stopped walking back and forth and hurried up to greet her, "Where have you been?"
"Tanghulu." Yuanyuan waved the red string in her little hand, "Mom, buy it."
"Yuanyuan wanted to eat candied haws, so I took her to buy it. The street was busy, so we walked around for a while." Shang Wan smiled and took off the candy coating on her face, speaking in a doting tone.
"Why didn't you leave a message?" Mrs. Lou said angrily, "The guys at the inn said they didn't see you go out."
"Oh," Shang Wan looked calm, "We left through the window."
Mrs. Lou: "..."
Shang Wan carried Yuanyuan and walked to the inn, "Why are you the only one, where are the others?"
"I went out to inquire about the news." Lady Lou said, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find anyone when you came back, so I stayed here to wait for you."
Shang Wan nodded, "I'm going to go upstairs to sleep now, you..."
"I'm going to walk around the streets and look for them."
"good."
The two separated, Shang Wan carried Yuanyuan back to the house and took off her cloak.
The inside of the silver cloak was stained with a large stain of solidified blood, and Shang Wan frowned and clicked his tongue.
Something unexpected happened while following her just now, and the tender-faced man disappeared in front of her.
Shang Wan was following far away, but even she didn't react to the sudden U-turn.
The others were so frightened that they were so drunk that they shouted curses and tried to escape, but Shang Wan knocked them unconscious one by one with a knife.
She examined the man's body and found that the fracture was smooth, as if it had been cut with a knife.
She immediately looked around and found a roll of blood-stained transparent silk thread on a branch not far away.
I don’t know what kind of material it is made of, but the silk thread is extremely tough and can be pulled easily.
The man's head was cut off by this thing.
Undoubtedly, the man's death was caused by deliberate murder and had nothing to do with the curse.
Shang Wan felt that murder cases should be handed over to the government.
So, she worked as a porter, and Mr. An, who was still on annual leave, was forced to work overtime.
Shang Wan didn't bring a spare cloak, so he had to turn over and wear it. On the way back, he went to a clothing store and bought two pieces. He also bought Yuanyuan's favorite candied haws, the biggest one with hawthorns.
Putting the blood-stained cloak into the space, Shang Wan knelt down and looked at Yuanyuan with a gentle tone, "My dear, were you scared just now?"
"Hmm." Yuanyuan bit the sugar coating outside the hawthorn and tilted her head, making a sweet sound, "Honghong, don't be afraid."
Tiger and tiger will also have red when they fight, which is not scary at all.
"You're so brave." Shang Wan touched the little head in front of him, "Mom needs to take a nap, do you want to sleep?"
"Accompany me." Yuanyuan nodded her little head and wrapped the remaining half bunch of candied haws in oil paper.
Shang Wan asked doubtfully: "What are you doing with it? It's so cold that it won't melt."
Yuanyuan stuffed the candied haws wrapped in oil paper back into the bag and said seriously: "Give it to Xiao Hei."
Shang Wan: "..."
Really, why do dogs like to eat candied haws?
"Juejue." Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand for her mother to hold her.
Shang Wan wiped her hands and face, then carried the baby to the bed.
