Night, Emerald Manor.
The servants in the manor stayed quietly in their rooms. It was so depressed that they did not dare to go out.
Only Aunt Chu was sitting in the living room with red eyes, waiting for the news.
It has been more than 24 hours since Meng Ji disappeared. Lu Ye sent various forces to find him, but to no avail.
The sea rescue team also spent more than 20 hours in the water.
The outside world didn't know who the Lu family had lost, but they only knew that it was probably someone whom Mr. Lu was very concerned about.
Jinghai is the largest sea in the capital, and the sea water leads to all parts of the country. In addition, the weather that night was really bad, and huge waves were rolling.
If someone really fell in, it would probably be a disaster.
Let alone looking for people, maybe even the body cannot be found.
Lu Ye was in a rare state of embarrassment and followed the rescue team to search the sea with professional tools.
It was still raining, but now it was light rain.
Chen Mu stood silently beside Lu Ye. He wanted to say words of comfort but stopped when he saw the red eyes of his second master.
Chen Mu could not help but notice the friendship his second master had for this little ancestor.
I still remember last night, when Chen Mu arrived, he saw his second master rushing into the sea desperately, shouting "Wan Wan".
He quickly grabbed Lu Ye, his whole body trembling with fright, "Second Master, it's dangerous there."
"Get away!"
Lu Ye roared, the veins on his neck were exposed, and a bolt of lightning came from the sky, shining on Lu Ye's face.
Like a beast in pain.
Meng Ji was swept into the sea by huge waves and disappeared instantly.
——
It has been six days since Meng Ji disappeared, the rain has stopped, and the sea has returned to calm.
There are rumors in the circle that the woman who fell into the sea was Lu Ye's most beloved woman.
After being shocked, I had to sigh, could Mr. Lu, who was standing on the altar, have a mortal heart?
The Xu family felt very guilty and took the initiative to come to Jade Manor to apologize.
After giving up eight territories and six maritime routes in the Western District, Lu Ye said nothing with a gloomy expression.
The search team was still going on, and no one dared to stop without Lu Ye calling them to stop.
But everyone felt there was no hope.
Only Lu Ye, after working during the day, dragged his exhausted body to stay at the beach of Jinghai all day and night.
He still couldn't believe that Meng Ji would really leave so suddenly.
He even doubted whether this was Meng Ji's way of escaping from him.
But when he saw Li Xin squatting next to him every night, crying heartbrokenly to the sea, he felt that Meng Ji had really left him.
"Stop crying." Lu Ye frowned and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Is Meng Ji's best friend made of water?
He also had a loud voice. He would appear at the beach at the same time as him every day, crying loudly and losing his temper.
The noise upset him.
"Isn't Mr. Lu uncomfortable?" Li Xin stood up, extremely angry.
It was because of this man that Meng Ji left.
She felt resentful towards Lu Ye.
"After Aji married you, he never had a good life."
"Her future life will obviously be bright and free. She will have friends and lovers, but you ruined them all!"
As soon as Li Xin spoke, she couldn't hold back her emotions.
Anyway, Meng Ji is now in the south, and Lu Ye also thinks that Meng Ji is really dead.
It would be better to say more words that poke at his heart and make Lu Ye feel uncomfortable.
Whatever she said was unpleasant, she said it.
Whatever the second master didn't like to hear, she would just say it.
Chen Mu stood next to him with a dark face. He had long wanted to throw his madam, his stubborn best friend, into the sea.
But his second master hasn't said anything yet.
After Li Xin finished her performance, she patted the sand behind her butt and turned to leave.
She was very happy after she finished answering Mr. Lu.
Lu Ye had no expression on his face, his eyes looked blankly into the distance, and he remained motionless on the spot.
At the same time, Meng Ji, who was far away in a small town in the south, had just returned home from setting up a roadside stall.
As early as the day before yesterday, she fell into the sea and got on the boat that Li Xin sent someone to pick her up.
The man originally wanted to send him to the south in person according to Li Xin's instructions, but Meng Ji had a change of mind.
She didn't dare to take any risks. After leaving the capital with that person, she acted alone.
Then he came to this small town called Jiangcheng alone.
It was the town she longed for before.
The people here have spicy food habits and speak in dialects that Meng Ji can't understand.
But fortunately, everyone is very simple and easy to get along with.
The neighbors spoke less than standard Mandarin with her, but they were still able to communicate.
Meng Ji did not choose to go to the cities arranged by Li Xin. This was the one she found at random.
I rented a two-bedroom house, and the environment was not too old. I usually sold starch sausages near the elementary school downstairs.
One stick costs three yuan, and two sticks cost five yuan.
The starchy intestines are grilled to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and paired with a unique secret dipping sauce, which is extremely satisfying when you bite into it.
She sets up her stall from five to six in the afternoon, and primary school students come out in droves after school.
Heading to her sausage stall.
"Sister, do you know why I like to eat your starch sausage?" A little fat man ate with a mouth full of chili oil.
Meng Ji handed him a piece of toilet paper and shook his head in confusion.
"Because your intestines are all starch, this is the only one that tastes good. I don't like any meat at all."
Little Fatty was so happy with his meal that he sat down again and started bragging with Meng Ji.
He said that Xiaomei in his class used another boy's eraser instead of his own; then there was a handsome firefighter in the fire brigade behind the school who could fall in love with Meng Ji...
The starch sausages were sold out quickly, and Little Fatty was still sitting on her chair.
Meng Ji was not in a hurry to pack her things and go back, she just listened to the little fat Dun talking quietly.
She is very satisfied with her current living situation.
Unfettered and full of freedom.
Meng Ji felt extremely comfortable without the pressure of Lu Ye.
Later, it got really late, and Xiaochuangdun’s grandma came out to look for him.
He said to Meng Ji with an apologetic look, "We kids just love bragging with girls, don't mind."
Meng Ji didn't quite understand, but she could see her grandma's apology and kindness.
He smiled and shook his head to show that he didn't mind.
When she smiled, the other party was stunned. There were not many girls as beautiful and elegant as Meng Ji in this small town.
He also spoke with a foreign accent, "Yao Mei, you should go back early."
Grandma was worried and asked her to go home quickly.
Little Fatty was pulled by his ears by his grandma when he came home. He pouted and retorted, "Grandma! We are setting up a dragon gate formation, and you are interrupting my flirting with girls."
This sister is so beautiful, and he feels like he has earned it if he can talk to her more every day.
Then his grandma pulled her ears harder.
Meng Ji looked at their leaving figures with a smile, and then tidied up the roadside stall.
She doesn't earn much, but it's enough for her daily living expenses.
"Yao Mei, are you back setting up a stall again?" The person talking to her was the landlady's aunt, Zhao Niangniang, with a very kind face.
"Yes, ma'am." Meng Ji held large and small bags of stall tools in his hand and spoke to the other party with a smile.
The aunt in the south is called Concubine Zhao, so Meng Ji also called the landlord Zhao Concubine.
Her language habits can be regarded as following the local customs, and she can chat with others in some simple dialects.
