Ye Lan is wearing a white shirt with black polka dots on upper body, the black ribbon at the neckline is tied into a bow, a pair of black trousers on lower body, wrapping around two slender legs, she still has flaming red lips, hand-pushing curly hairs, fashionable but also individual, and it is incompatible with the surrounding gowns and dresses.

Whenever she climbs a mountain, she always wears a pair of high-heeled shoes. Even if her feet hurt badly, the heels are worn out, and she has to sit down to rest after walking for a while, but she will not change into cloth shoes.

It seemed that cloth shoes never existed in her life.

Ye Lan took off the veil hat on her head, revealing a clear face.

When the pilgrims going down the mountain pass by, they will all look sideways at the same time, showing either contempt, envy, curiosity, or amazement.

There is no doubt that Ye Lan is a beauty.

She is not beauty only, but flamboyant beauty, fiery, unreserved, and tactful.

An environment can affect a person’s character, cognition, and attitude towards people and things. Ye Lan has been abroad for many years. Unlike those women who have never seen outside, there is no such thing as conservative, confused, feudal, and weak in her bones. Those things have long been removed and cleaned up.

What Ye Lan pursues is to do whatever she wants.

This is a way of living that is far from acceptable to others.

That’s why when people saw Ye Lan taking off high heels, and exposing her feet in public, they all stared wide-eyed, their faces full of repulsion, as if they saw something dirty, they spat on the ground and scolded her. Shameless.

Ye Lan turned a blind eye to it, she put her feet on the stone, lowered her head to check her toes and heels.

Hearing someone calling her suddenly, Ye Lan froze for a moment then turned her head, and met the young man on the stone steps behind, she cried out in surprise, “Song Wang, why are you here?”

Not long after, Huang Dan sat next to Ye Lan, Liu Chu didn’t sit down, but stood not far away, as if he was not interested in participating.

Seeing Huang Dan appearing in front of her, Ye Lan was very surprised.

She opened the small white leather bag in her hand, took out the tin cigarette case inside, opened it with a ding, and held a cigarette between her fingers, “Time flies, I almost forgot about our marriage that time.”

Huang Dan still remembered, after all, it was his first wedding dress, he smelled a wisp of tobacco, “Did you find something?”

“Where is that so easy?”

Ye Lan took a puff on a cigarette and held the lighter in her hand. She chuckled and said, “I don’t expect to find that person anytime soon. I just hope to meet him once in my lifetime.”

Huang Dan tilted his head, the smoke lingered on the woman’s face, he couldn’t see the expression clearly, he thought, she must be disappointed, “After you left the town, you came to the county town? Have you been here all this time?”

Ye Lan shook her head, saying that after she escaped that day, she hid overnight in a family in the countryside, left the town the next day, and started to inquire about that person’s whereabouts, the county town she visited a few days ago.

Huang Dan glanced at the woman beside him. She has lost a lot of weight, but her eyes are bright. She stepped forward, strong and resolute, without the slightest bit of discouragement or despair.

Ye Lan rested her elbows on her knees, and focused her eyes on Azalea opposite, “I heard that there is a Ping’an Temple in the county town, and there is a wishing tree in the temple, which is very effective, so I came here to make a wish, how about you?also for this?”

Huang Dan, “Umm.”

Ye Lan parted her red lips slightly, and exhaled a puff of smoke, “Why are you with Chief Liu?”

Huang Dan said, “He brought me here.”

Ye Lan smiled softly, “It sounds like Chief Liu is a very good person, and he even took you up the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha.”

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the place where the man was standing, “However, Chief Liu is indeed a good person. If he hadn’t found me in the mountains, I wouldn’t be sitting here chatting with you now.”

Huang Dan said while observing Ye Lan’s emotional changes, “Chief Liu escorted the second aunt back to the county, and I followed to see the scenery in the town.”

Ye Lan was stunned, “What?”

Huang Dan said, “The second aunt is charged with a murder case.”

He told Ye Lan all the ins and outs of the matter, without missing a single detail.

After Ye Lan heard everything, she shook her head in disbelief, “I always thought that woman was at best thoughtful, insatiable, good at acting, and disgustingly hypocritical. I didn’t expect her to have such powerful means to hide behind her back. Cheating, and then murder.”

“She has this kind of ending, which is her own fault and does not deserve sympathy.”

Before Huang Dan could speak, Ye Lan started laughing, “Song Wang, you also know that my dislike for that woman has never been hidden, and it was all on the surface. In the past few months since I came back, even more I have had many disputes with her, but I am not killed by her, it is really a blessing.”

Huang Dan said, “Second Aunt is currently locked in the prison, and she will die this time. Do you want to go and see her?”

Ye Lan didn’t hesitate, “No.”

“Whether that woman is dead or alive has nothing to do with me.” Her expression was indifferent, “I have that time, so I might as well walk around the county town.”

Huang Dan closed the topic, didn’t go any further, and stopped probing.

One of Ye Lan’s cigarettes was also slowly burning out. She extinguished the cigarette butt, took her high-heeled shoes, put her two injured feet in, stood up and moved her legs a few times, “It is said that the higher the red strip hangs. The higher the chance of your wish being seen by God, I want to throw it to the top of the tree, but I couldn’t do it after many attempts. If I had seen you earlier, I would have asked you to throw it for me.”

Huang Dan said, “You have to throw it away yourself to be sincere.”

Ye Lan smiled and said, “This is also there.”

Seeing the man walking towards him, she greeted him loudly, “Chief Liu, long time no see.”

Liu Chu looked up at the young man on the rock, “Are you done talking?”

Huang Dan stood up, “Let’s go.”

A world of two becomes a threesome.

Ye Lan walked in front, and Huang Dan and Liu Chu were behind. To outsiders, their relationship was very strange. It didn’t look like a love triangle, nor did it look like three friends. The abruptness was subtle.

Azaleas are all over the mountains and plains. Looking around, those flowers are colorful and dazzling.

There are many little girls who can’t help but run into the flowers, and some young men who can’t bear it. They pick the beautiful ones, pick this one and that one, and hold a lot in their hands. Not satisfied, they always feel the flowers you pick yourself are not the best.

Ye Lan took out the camera from her bag and asked Huang Dan to take pictures of her.

Huang Dan didn’t know how to use the camera of this era, he searched the original owner’s memory and found a way to use it, so he didn’t show his flaws.

Standing among the flowers, Ye Lan was carrying a small bag, and the corner of her mouth was curled up. She suddenly asked Huang Dan to wait, and then put the hat on her head, and covered her face with a veil.

Huang Dan slightly bent his back to adjust the angle.

Liu Chu hmph hmph.

Huang Dan said, “What hmph, you’re not a pig anyway.”

Liu Chu continued to hmph, unhappy.

Huang Dan ignored him, took some photos of Ye Lan, and returned the camera to her.

Ye Lan proposed to take two photos of Huang Dan and Liu Chu, “It’s a rare trip, the scenery here is very good, you can take a photo as a souvenir.”

Liu Chu sneered, “What good is there in shooting us two great lords?”

Huang Dan said, “Yeah.”

Liu Chu’s eyelids twitched suddenly, not good, his Eldest Young Master got angry, “I think about it carefully, and what Miss Ye said makes sense, Young Master Song, if you don’t mind, let’s take a few photos?”

Huang Dan said, “Okay.”

Ye Lan put down the camera for the fourth time, quite speechless, “I said, Chief Liu, Song Wang, there can still be three or four people standing between the two of you, get closer!”

Huang Dan didn’t move.

Liu Chu moved a few steps towards the young man and put his arms on his shoulders. Such a distance and posture are common among men, and there is nothing to think about.

Ye Lan made an “OK” gesture.

After the three of them went down the mountain, they were all hot and hungry, so they went to the small noodle restaurant at the foot of the mountain and ordered a bowl of noodles each.

Ye Lan fiddled with the chopsticks in the bowl picking and throwing, then pushed the bowl forward, “There is too much oil in it, I don’t want to eat it, I’m going outside to smoke a cigarette.”

With fewer people on the table, the atmosphere immediately changed.

Liu Chu picked out the shredded meat and put it in Huang Dan’s bowl, “Don’t look at her face, look at me more.”

Huang Dan said, “You’re not as good-looking as her.”

Liu Chu’s face darkened, and he tightened his hands holding the chopsticks, “Say it again.”

Huang Dan said, “But I don’t like her, I like you.”

Hearing these words, Liu Chu immediately changed from a world of ice and snow to a beautiful spring, and rewarded him with a poached egg.

After Huang Dan finished eating the shredded pork, he started eating poached eggs, “Ye Lan is looking for someone.”

Liu Chu picked up the noodles, “Really?”

Huang Dan ate the egg yolk first, then the egg white, and said, “Fourteen years ago, Ye Lan was playing in the arcade, and the building suddenly collapsed. According to her, she didn’t realize it at the time, and a person carried her out of it, but she only saw the back of that person.”

Liu Chu snorted, feeling ridiculous, “How is that possible?”

“My Eldest Young Master, you and Miss Ye went abroad to study, and you studied till your brains out. The collapse of the arcade happened in an instant. No matter who was inside, they would be crushed to death. It is impossible for someone to be able to run in at that moment, and then run out with someone on your back.”

Huang Dan asked, “Can’t you either?”

Liu Chu grinned, “Guess.”

Huang Dan’s face twitched slightly, “I don’t want to guess.”

“You’re so lazy.” Liu Chu took a sip of the noodle soup, “Let me tell you, if you were inside, I would definitely run in without even thinking about it, but I definitely wouldn’t be able to get out.”

Huang Dan said, “Then we will die inside together.”

Liu Chu smiled, “It’s not bad, we can’t be born on the same day, but we can die on the same day.”

Huang Dan stared at the man for a few seconds, he lowered his head to eat egg whites, his voice was muffled, “I don’t want to die on the same day as you, I don’t like that.”

Liu Chu stared at the young man, and said for a while, “All right, if you don’t like it, then we won’t die together. When you grow old, you go ahead of me.”

Huang Dan was stunned.

Liu Chu shook his head and sighed, “Young Master, regardless of when to leave, the one who stays will be very uncomfortable. With your crying-loving appearance, I really don’t feel at ease. If I walk on the road to Huangquan, I will turn around every three steps. Let me bear it.”

Huang Dan frowned, “You will feel uncomfortable too.”

Liu Chu glanced at him, “Better than you, I’m afraid that if I leave first, you will hug my dead body and cry to death in the end.”

Huang Dan raised his head and asked, “You can’t?”

Liu Chu said, “Can’t.”

He pursed his lips, “I will be sad, reluctant, and painful, but I will not do that kind of thing, I will live with our memories and live until the last second to see you. “

Huang Dan said, “I’ve taken it seriously, don’t go back on your word.”

Seeing that the young man was so serious, Liu Chu felt a little helpless, “Yes, yes, I promised you, and I will not go back on my word.”

The corners of Huang Dan’s pursed lips loosened,

“Okay, then I’ll leave first.”

After a brief silence, Liu Chu cursed, “What leave not leave? How come the conversation is so heavy after eating noodles?”

Huang Dan said, “It was you who started first.”

Liu Chu’s face was dark, and he continued to eat noodles in a muffled voice.

Huang Dan went back to the previous topic, “Could it be that the back that Ye Lan saw was not a human?”

Liu Chu squinted, “Do you suspect that the person who rescued Ye Lan was a demon?”

Huang Dan said, “I think that if it is a human being, it will definitely leave clues of its existence, but Ye Lan has been looking for too long, but there is no news.”

Liu Chu flicked his forehead, “Eldest Young Master, don’t think about it, eat your noodles.”

Huang Dan ate two mouthfuls of noodles, “I can’t finish it, how about some for you?”

Liu Chu tsk tsk in disgust, “The food you eat in this bowl is messed up, and the broken egg yolks are all in the noodles. I don’t have any appetite just looking at it.”

As he said that, he picked up the noodles in Huang Dan’s bowl with his chopsticks.

When the two of them went out after eating and drinking, Ye Lan hadn’t finished smoking that cigarette. She stared at the void in a daze, with her face sideways under the setting sun, getting thinner.

Liu Chu asked the young man beside him in a low voice, “Do you smoke abroad?”

Huang Dan said, “Don’t smoke.”

Liu Chu squeezed his hand quickly, “Good boy.”

Huang Dan, “……”

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Lan came back to her senses, put out the smoke, raised her chin towards Huang Dan and Liu Chu, “Which inn are you staying in?”

Huang Dan said, “I’m staying with Chief Liu.”

Ye Lan froze for a moment, then smiled at Liu Chu, “Chief Liu, I wonder if there are any vacant rooms in your place.”

Liu Chu babbled, “I’m sorry, Miss Ye, I only have one vacant room, and it’s already given to Young Master Song.”

Huang Dan knew that there were several rooms in the man’s place, but he didn’t say anything.

But anyone who goes there personally will be frightened when they find out that they are in the deep mountains and old forests.

If it wasn’t for this man hugging him to sleep, he would definitely suffer from insomnia.

Hearing what Liu Chu said, Ye Lan didn’t feel sorry. She seemed to just ask casually, “Well, can Chief Liu introduce me to an inn with better service and environment?”

Liu Chu spoke about two inns, “Miss Ye can go and have a look and choose the one you like.”

Ye Lan got into the rickshaw and said goodbye to them.

Huang Dan climbed the mountain for a day, and the soles of his feet hurt. He didn’t want to stroll anymore, so he dragged Liu Chu back to the mountain.

It’s not easy for horses either. They run twice a day, panting on the ground exhausted, smelling the fragrance of green grass, and turning their heads half dead to chew.

Liu Chu went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, scooped a few scoops into the wooden basin, then mixed cold water to test the water temperature, and brought the wooden basin to the house, “Eldest Young Master, get up and wash your feet.”

Huang Dan on the bed was all asleep, he rubbed his eyes, got up and sat on the bed, “Is the rice cooked?”

Liu Chu’s face twitched, and he threw the cloth towel into the basin, “When I came back, I fetched water and chopped firewood, boiled water for you to wash your feet, and didn’t stop.”

Huang Dan said, “Then I’ll help you later.”

“Forget it, if you burn yourself, it won’t be me who hurts.”

Liu Chu squatted on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, poured a handful of water on the young man’s legs, “Is it hot?”

Huang Dan said, “Not hot, just right.”

Liu Chu supported the young man’s feet with one hand, and pressed the acupuncture points on the soles of his feet with the other hand, “Except for you, I have never served anyone like this in my life.”

Huang Dan looked at the top of the man’s hair, “I know.”

After Liu Chu pressed one foot for him, he changed to the other, “Remember my kindness.”

Huang Dan said, “I will remember.”

Liu Chu likes the earnestness of the young man, “How long can you remember?”

Huang Dan said, “I will always remember.”

Liu Chu curled his lips in satisfaction, “You have a conscience.”

After soaking his feet, Huang Dan was about to wipe himself with the cloth towel in the basin, but Liu Chu stopped him.

“Your hand is dry, so don’t get it wet, let me do it.”

Liu Chu took the cloth towel out of the water and wring it dry, and held Huang Dan’s feet to wipe off the water on it. He wiped carefully, one toe at a time, “Sleep for a while, and you can have dinner when you wake up.”

Huang Dan said he couldn’t sleep anymore, “You won’t let me help, I’ll watch from the sidelines.”

Liu Chu touched his smooth instep, “It’s up to you.”

Not long after, Huang Dan was choked by the smell of smoke from the kitchen. He covered his mouth and nose, “Put less pepper!”

Liu Chu was impatient and said he knew.

The result is still too much.

Huang Dan burst into tears while eating, his throat was burning with heat, he cried and said, “Don’t put so many peppers in the future.”

With a guilty conscience, Liu Chu wiped the tears off his face with two hums.

The stomach was burning after a meal, and Huang Dan was lying on the bed, his breath was spicy.

Liu Chu didn’t know where to get a cup of tea, and there were many unknown flowers floating in it, “Drink this, get rid of the fire.”

Huang Dan took a look at the tea, but didn’t recognize any of the flowers. He put his mouth close and gulped down half of it, “Drink the rest, your fire is bigger than mine.”

Liu Chupi smiled, “My fire, drinking any tea is useless, just you can relieve it. Do you want to help me relieve the fire?”

Huang Dan said, “I’m too tired today, so I can’t relieve you.”

“It’s as if you did some hard work when you were removing the fire for me.”

Liu Chu asked him to drink the rest of the tea, “Every time you find a comfortable position, or lie down there.”

Huang Dan looked at him and didn’t speak.

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of Liu Chu’s forehead, and he quickly coaxed, “I was wrong, and you deserve the most credit.”

“I forgive you.”

Huang Dan spat out the small pink flowers that he accidentally drank into his mouth, “Is there any benefit with putting so many flowers?”

“You ignorant guy, these are all treasures, and others will never think of them in eight lifetimes.”

Liu Chu urged, “Hurry up, don’t leave a single drop.”

Huang Dan drank all the tea in the cup, “Will I become a fairy after drinking?”

Liu Chu touched his head, “This tea is indeed a good thing. It’s impossible to become a fairy, but it can make you happy.”

Huang Dan, “……”

He hugged the mat pillow, “I won’t sleep with you anymore.”

Liu Chu folded his arms and smiled wickedly, “This deep mountain and old forest is very desolate. When it gets dark, many things will come out. You really don’t want to sleep with me?”

Huang Dan walked outside without looking back.

Liu Chu dragged him back.

No idea what those flowers are. After Huang Dan drank the tea, the heat in his body obviously faded a lot. Only then did he realize that the man didn’t put anything else in it to scare him on purpose.

The first time, Huang Dan fainted from the pain. The scene at that time was engraved in Liu Chu’s heart. He was very careful, how dare he put medicine to play cruelly.

Liu Chu turned over on the bed, turned over again, turned sideways uncontrollably, and buried his face in the young man’s neck.

Huang Dan wraps around the man’s waist.

He turned his face to look out the window, the moonlight was hazy.

It got windy.

There was a slight sound in the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves on the ground rose and fell one after another.

Near the gate of the courtyard, there is a thick moso bamboo, one end of which is shallowly stuck into a small pit. It is swayed left and right by the wind, slowly, and will fall to the side at any time, but it sways with the gust of wind, bit by bit into the soil.

The next day, Huang Dan met Ye Lan in the town, she changed her mind and said she wanted to see Baiying.

Huang Dan didn’t show a surprised expression, as expected, from the conversation in the mountains yesterday, he noticed that Ye Lan was strange for a second or two.

Ye Lan said, “That woman is on death row, can I meet?”

Huang Dan didn’t answer right away, and caused trouble for Liu Chu, he just said he didn’t know, “I’ll ask Chief Liu.”

Ye Lan said, “I’ll go with you.”

About the time of a stick of incense, Liu Chu asked the county master for permission to take Ye Lan to the prison, and Huang Dan followed.

There are many cells in the big prison, and they are detained according to the severity of the crime. The death row prisoners are also divided in the third area, and they come in the order of execution.

Huang Dan and Liu Chu were waiting at the door, and Ye Lan went in alone.

There are cells on both sides of the corridor, and the prisoners inside are not overwhelmed by the appearance of the beautiful woman. They are all dying, shrouded in fear and death, and no one has that kind of thought.

Ye Lan walked inside and stopped in front of a prison cell.

Bai Ying was lying on the dry grass with her eyes tightly closed and her hands on her belly. She suddenly heard a sound, and opened her eyes suddenly, saw the person coming, and almost staggered towards her.

For the past two days, no rice has been eaten, Bai Ying’s body is very weak, her legs are weak, she is in a hurry, and she just kneels on the ground.

Through the grids, Ye Lan looked down at the woman kneeling in front of her, “Second Aunt, I think you should really want to see me, so I’m here.”

The Second Aunt’s cry was extremely ear-piercing.

The corners of Bai Ying’s eyes twitched, she grabbed the grids and stood up, “Lanlan, I really want to see you, if you can come, I will die in peace.”

Ye Lan said, “Really?”

Bai Ying’s hair is disheveled and her body smells bad, “I deserve what I deserve, but Xiaobao is innocent. He doesn’t know that his mother has done these things. I will bear any retribution alone. Lanlan, please look at him. For the sake of your surname Ye, don’t embarrass him in the future.”

Ye Lan sneered, “I don’t know your son well.”

Bai Ying was emotionally excited, “Xiao Bao is your real brother!”

Ye Lan said coldly, “I don’t have a younger brother.”

Bai Ying stretched her hand out of the grid and grabbed Ye Lan, “Lanlan, you can’t do this, the blood of your Ye family is flowing in Xiaobao’s body, he is the descendant of the Ye family, and the flesh and blood of your father……”

Ye Lan interrupted, “What does that have to do with me?”

She vigorously opened the woman’s fingers, and wiped the dirt off her wrist with a handkerchief, “Second Aunt, you secretly asked someone to set a fire and burn down my mother’s house, have you forgotten this?”

All the emotions on Bai Ying’s face froze in an instant.

Ye Lan threw away the handkerchief, and said in an unhurried manner, “The person I saw at the tailor shop that day was probably arranged by you.”

Bai Ying’s expression was stiff.

“On the day of the wedding, I was able to escape smoothly, which is also your kind aftermath.”

Ye Lan moved closer, “You know that I’m looking for that person, so you pushed me behind my back, wishing that I would go crazy, leave, and never return, then the whole Ye family belongs to you and your son, what I said is correct?”

Bai Ying’s voice was stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say a word.

Ye Lan squinted her eyes and smiled, “You have a good plan, Second Aunt, I remember that your family is a butcher. But I didn’t expect you to have such a trick, I really underestimated you.”

Bai Ying brushed away the messy hair on her cheeks, she didn’t need to pretend. The matter was out of the way, “Master is only thinking of you, and never puts us mother and child in his eyes, I always have to make some plans for my son’s future.”

“Over the years, the master has taught me a fact. It is better to rely on myself than to rely on anyone. You look down on me and despise me. It’s fine. I hope you treat Xiaobao kindly.”

Ye Lan clapped her hands, “This is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard.”

“Affair, murder, conspiracy, you have all the excuses for doing these things, you have already prepared for yourself, Second Aunt, I have to say, your retribution is not too late.”

Bai Ying didn’t change her face, “When I was abandoned by the Master, I had already embarked on a road of no return.”

The only thing she worries about is her son, “Lanlan, no matter what you think about me, don’t take your anger out on Xiaobao.”

“Indeed, the mistakes made by adults have nothing to do with children.”

Ye Lan said in the middle of the surprised eyes of the woman, “Second Aunt, I just remembered something recently. Before the arcade collapsed, you were nearby. If you tell me who the person who carried me out is, I can consider it.”

Bai Ying’s eyes dodged, “I don’t remember what happened more than ten years ago.”

Ye Lan said, “Don’t remember, then I’m leaving.”

She walked less than ten steps when Bai Ying’s hoarse voice came from behind, “Wait!”

Ye Lan turned around and walked back to the woman, “Second Aunt, have you remembered now?”

Bai Ying said two words after a while, her voice was extremely soft, she was hiding something, “Tian family.”

Ye Lan didn’t react immediately, “What?”

Bai Ying took a deep breath, “I saw the man who rescued you enter the Tian family, he was from the Tian family.”

Ye Lan was stunned, completely motionless.

Bai Ying said softly, “I’ve already told everything I know, Lanlan, please don’t make it difficult for Xiaobao.”

Ye Lan suddenly yelled, and frantically stretched her hand into the railing, and pulled Bai Ying’s collar vigorously, “Impossible, you must have misread, that person cannot be from the Tian family, second aunt, tell me, it is you’re lying to me, aren’t you?”

Bai Ying’s collar was pulled, and the back of her neck was strangled, causing her severe pain, “What I said is true.”

Ye Lan screamed uncontrollably, “Then why haven’t you told me all these years? You want me to break down, before you tell me about it?!”

What did she think of, “If you tell me the truth directly, I will be very sad, but I will also recognize the reality and come out of the grief, but if you don’t tell me, I will just keep looking for it for the rest of my life, go crazy, For you, the latter is better!”

Bai Ying didn’t say anything, which meant she acquiesced.

Ye Lan raised her finger painted with red nail polish, and grabbed Bai Ying vigorously.

Bai Ying’s face was scratched and bloody, she yelled in pain, “Someone come ahh—”

Huang Dan and Liu Chu outside could hear the conversation between the two women, and they ran in immediately after hearing Bai Ying’s call.

Bai Ying was beyond recognition.

Ye Lan was forcibly pulled away by Liu Chu, her pupils dilated, and she was in a state of extreme shock.

Huang Dan noticed Ye Lan’s hand, and felt that it was terribly red. He didn’t know if it was the reason for the red nail polish, or the flesh and blood dripping from her nails.

He moved his gaze upwards and stopped on Ye Lan’s face, no tears.

But she has broken down.

Ye Lan in front of his eyes was completely different from what he saw on the mountain that day. There was no light in her eyes, the whole world became dark, and the belief that supported her collapsed.

After returning, Ye Lan locked herself in the room of the inn.

Huang Dan and Liu Chu lived across from Ye Lan, fearing that she would be overwhelmed and do something stupid.

At night, Huang Dan heard a heart-piercing scream, followed by howling, which made people feel sad.

Although Huang Dan didn’t hear what Ye Lan and Bai Ying talked clearly, he also had an idea that the person Ye Lan had been looking for for many years had long since died.

The Tian family is a clue.

Huang Dan did not find any memory fragments from the original owner’s memory, so he asked Liu Chu, “There used to be a Tian family in the town, what happened afterward?”

Liu Chu didn’t make it clear, “When I came to the town, your family and Ye’s family were one of the largest families. Boss Zhang’s medicine store and Boss Dai’s restaurant were both very large, and there was no Tian family.”

On the day Bai Ying was beheaded, many people surrounded the entrance of the food market.

For those people, this kind of bloody scene is not much different from killing chickens and ducks. They are all cut with one stab, and the neck and head are separated.

Besides, beheading is the neatest of all criminal laws, which means less punishment.

Ye Lan stood in the crowd, wearing a gauze cap, with a pointed chin exposed outside, exuding a gray-white aura.

Huang Dan is also there.

The executioner raised the knife and dropped it, blood spattered on the spot.

At that moment, Liu Chu stretched out his hand to cover Huang Dan’s eyes.

Huang Dan pulled his hand down, and saw that the executioner took away the woman’s head in his hand, and there was blood all over the place.

Bai Ying died.

After the three left, they ate duck blood vermicelli in a small restaurant.

Huang Dan felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, but Ye Lan grabbed the chopsticks to eat it, it didn’t seem to affect her, but her face was pale.

Liu Chu is really like a normal person.

After eating for a while, Ye Lan dropped the bowl and chopsticks and ran out, squatting on the side of the road to vomit.

Huang Dan didn’t understand, “She feels uncomfortable, why did she go to see?”

Liu Chu ate the duck’s blood piece by piece, “A woman’s heart, a seabed needle, is scary.”

Huang Dan said, “Right.”

Liu Chu said, “If you know me better, you will be the only one in my heart.”

Huang Dan, “……”

That afternoon, two strange men came to the inn, and one of them was with a little boy of a few years old sleeping soundly in his arms.

Huang Dan recognized that it was Bai Ying’s son Xiaobao.

Ye Lan sent someone to the town to pick up the child.

Such a young child, ignorant of worldly affairs and unaware that his mother committed a murder, and gone.

Huang Dan vaguely knew what Ye Lan was thinking, so he didn’t ask, and waited for the other party to take the initiative to speak.

Ye Lan put Xiaobao on the bed, pulled the quilt over his stomach, “Song Wang, I’m leaving.”

Huang Dan didn’t ask where she was going, and didn’t say anything else, just said, “Have a good trip.”

Ye Lan was somewhat reluctant to part with this only friend she had ever made sincerely, “We will meet again in the future, not in the town, but in other places.”

Xiao Bao kicked off the quilt, and Ye Lan covered him up again.

Huang Dan’s brows twitched, the person the original owner likes is pretty good.

When he reached the door, Huang Dan turned his head, “I heard from Second Aunt that the person you are looking for is the Tian family. Back then…”

Before he could continue, Ye Lan interrupted, “Song Wang, there are some things, it’s better that you don’t know.” The more you know, the more you will hate the place where you lived.

Two days later, Huang Dan sent Ye Lan to the pier.

Ye Lan walked ahead with Xiao Bao in his arms, followed by two servants with suitcases in their hands.

After boarding the boat, Ye Lan said something in Xiao Bao’s ear, and Xiao Bao kept waving at Huang Dan.

Huang Dan stood at the pier, feeling a little emotional.

Liu Chu frowned, “The boat is about to leave, what else is there to see?”

Huang Dan said, “Father Ye will be very sad.”

Ye Lan would rather arrange for someone to get the little boy out and give him the little warmth left, than go back by herself. She didn’t want to step into that town at all, she hated it to the extreme.

Suddenly a person ran down from the boat, it was Ye Lan.

Huang Dan saw her running in front of him, and whispered in his ear, “Song Wang, the town is a tomb, it will turn people into less human beings, don’t go back, just live well with Liu Chu in the county.”

Huang Dan was taken aback.

Ye Lan said again, “Liu Chu treats you very well, I wish you happiness.”

After the boat sailed, Huang Dan came back to his senses.

Liu Chu leaned towards the young man with a curious look on his face, “What did she whisper to you?”

Huang Dan said, “You heard it all and are still asking.”

Liu Chu touched his nose.

After sending Ye Lan away, Huang Dan and Liu Chu went to the photo studio.

As soon as the photo master heard Huang Dan’s name, he gave him the paper bag left by Ye Lan.

There are black and white photos in the paper bag, which Ye Lan took for Huang Dan and Liu Chu that day, there are two of them.

One is Huang Dan standing side by side with Liu Chu, Liu Chu’s hand is on his shoulder, one corner of his mouth is curled up, and there is a bit of anger in his eyebrows and eyes.

The other one was snapped by Ye Lan.

Huang Dan was tripped by a grass vine, and Liu Chu grabbed his arm. Their movements were not ambiguous, but at the moment of freezing, the tension in Liu Chu’s eyes was too obvious.

The emotion revealed by that kind of tension can seep out of the photos, and it definitely does not belong to friends or brothers.

This photo exposes their relationship.

No wonder Ye Lan said those two sentences at the end.

Huang Dan wanted to put the photo back into the bag, but was taken away by a big hand, “So I am very handsome.”

“……”

Liu Chu looked at the young man in the photo, “We have a couple photos.”

Huang Dan moved his head closer, “Is there any?”

Liu Chu said yes, “Look, you have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, and so do I. We look like a couple. You can see that we are a destined couple.”

Huang Dan, “……”

Liu Chu preciously put the photos in the paper bag, and then precisely put the paper bag into his arms, “I never thought that Miss Ye’s photography skills are so good, I regret not letting her take more pictures.”

Huang Dan said, “Two are enough.”

Liu Chu raised his eyebrows and smiled, “That’s right, the big living person is right in front of my eyes, can touch and kiss, why should I look at the photos, it’s cold to the touch, where to find your goodness?”

Huang Dan said, “Keep your voice down, that master has already looked our way several times.”

Liu Chu sighed, “Let’s go back to the mountains with me, no matter how I mess with you, no one will hear you no matter how loud you scream.”

Huang Dan followed him into the mountain and didn’t get off the bed.

The task was not completed yet, Huang Dan had been in the county for a few days, and he had to go back.

Liu Chu returned with him.

Si Mao and the others who were accompanying at home also showed up. Take the food and supplies from their parents and friends, and then everyone set out on the road together..

On the way back to town, Huang Dan ran into the scholar.

When the scholar saw him, he hurriedly jumped out of the front of the carriage and ran towards him, “Eldest Young Master, something happened.”

Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched, “You continue.”

The scholar said that there was internal fighting in the Song family, and the patriarch died. He also said that the Old Madam fell ill and the teacher was injured.

Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched even more.

How did so many things happen?

He looked at the carriage behind, “Is the teacher in there?”

The scholar nodded, “I’ll send the teacher back to his hometown to recuperate.”

Huang Dan went to the carriage and opened the curtain to see that the Head Master was leaning against the wall of the carriage, with gauze wrapped around his forehead, and his spirit was very bad, much different from the last time he saw him.

“Teacher.”

Head Master Zhao slowly opened his eyes, “Ah Wang, it’s you, are you back?”

Huang Dan said no, “It’s the teacher who left.”

Head Master Zhao was in a daze, and his old voice was a little muddy, “Leave? Where did I leave?”

Huang Dan frowned, “Teacher, here is August Bend, it’s far away from the town.”

He was surprised, judging from the Head Master’s reaction, it seemed that he was brought out by the scholar without his knowledge, and it seemed that the other party only woke up when he shouted just now.

Head Master Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and called for the scholar.

The master and apprentice had a quarrel beside the road.

After listening for a while, Huang Dan realized that the scholar made his own claim.

He can understand.

If Head Master Zhao was awake, no matter who it was, he would not leave the town or the old lady even if he told the truth.

The scholar wants to save his teacher from this disaster.

Head Master Zhao was injured, and soon he couldn’t continue the quarrel. He knew in his heart that the students did this for his own good, but he was still angry.

The scholar helped the teacher back into the carriage, came out and said to Huang Dan, “Young Master, hurry back, maybe you can see the Old Madam for the last time.”

Liu Chu also heard this.

He strode forward and stood between Huang Dan and the scholar, “Okay, stop talking nonsense, Young Master Song, hurry up.”

Huang Dan said, “I have something to ask the teacher.”

Head Master Zhao’s complexion became even worse, “Ah Wang, you send the teacher back then leave.”

Huang Dan asked without answering, “Teacher, is the content recorded in the ancient book true or false?”

Head Master Zhao raised his head, “If you believe it, it’s true; if you don’t believe it, it’s false.”

Huang Dan said, “You still haven’t told me the answer.”

Head Master Zhao said, “The teacher told you, that’s the answer, you can figure it out yourself.”

He sighed, “Speaking of which, the teacher has studied for most of his life before he could understand the ancient prose in it. I didn’t expect you to be able to do this at such a young age.”

Huang Dan said in heart that it was the translated version he got from Mr. System in exchange for points.

“It is recorded in ancient books that demons can bleed, but they cannot shed tears. A single drop of tears will reduce their cultivation for a hundred years. Once their cultivation is exhausted, they will disappear between the heavens and the earth, or turn into their original form. Do you believe it? “

Head Master Zhao said, “Whether the teacher believes it or not, nothing will change.”

Huang Dan saw that the Head Master seemed to be really unclear, and he was not hiding anything, so he asked about the discarded ancient books, “Teacher, was there a Tian family in this town more than ten years ago?”

He had a strange illusion about the Tian family he heard in the prison that day, and he always felt that the root of all the mysteries was here.

It seems that as long as the mystery is solved, everything will become clear and the demon can be found.

Head Master Zhao said weakly, “Silly boy, Don’t you know that the teacher hadn’t come to town at that time?”

Huang Dan said, “Teacher should have heard of it, right?”

Head Master Zhao closed his eyes, “You might as well go back and ask your grandma, she might tell you some stories.”

There is something in these words, something hidden.

Huang Dan knew that he had nothing to ask, so he was about to put down the curtain and leave when he heard the Head Master’s voice, “Go back quickly, your grandma is waiting for you.”

Huang Dan immediately went to bid farewell to the scholar.

The scholar stood where he was, without looking away for a long time.

Huang Dan and his party hurried back to the town.
