"What box?"

"There's a 'memory' engraved on it. ”

Gu Fangyan was stunned for a moment, his eyes dodged, the speed was very fast, but Gu Yanran still caught it.

"I haven't seen it. ”

Gu Yanran frowned, he must know!

She didn't give up, "Mr. Gu said, that's a very important thing for my mother, let me keep it." ”

"Your grandfather gave it to you?" Gu Fangyan was stunned.

If you haven't seen it, why is there such a big reaction?

"Yes, he gave it to me yesterday. Gu Yanran stared at him tightly, trying to find clues from his face.

"Oh, your mother may have left something at home. Gu Fangyan pretended not to care and said, "Have you opened it and seen it, what is in it?"

Gu Yanran thought for a while, "There are a few letters ......"

Gu Fangyan's eyes flashed.

"And the photo ......"

He looked a little flustered.

"And ......" Gu Yanran smiled, "I lied to you, I can't open it at all without the key." ”

"Uh-huh, maybe. Gu Yanran noticed that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that she guessed correctly, and it did contain letters and photos.

The box was very light, she had shaken the brocade box at that time, and there was no sound of impact in it, either it was an empty box, or it was full of paper, and what paper needed to be locked with the box, and the most inconspicuous thing was the letter and the photograph.

I didn't expect her to try it out as soon as she tried it.

"Do you know where the key is?"

Gu Fangyan shook his head and tilted his head to the side, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic very much.

Gu Yanran didn't force it, after all, she also determined what she wanted to know the most, and she would take her time about the key.

"Dad, how did you know Mom?" Gu Yanran saw Gu Fangyan looking at him with a puzzled expression, she smiled slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that I thought of it suddenly, by the way, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." ”

"Why don't you want to say it, I'm just surprised, why did you suddenly talk about your mother today. Gu Fangyan's expression was gloomy when he thought of the woman who had died of incense.

"It just came to me suddenly. ”

"Your mom and I were college classmates, we were together when we were in school, and then we got married after graduation. Gu Fangyan looked at the ceiling above his head, as if he was reminiscing about that good time.

Gu Yanran looked at him and didn't say a word.

He's lying again!

When she met Aunt Mu before, she told her that her mother was not with his father at all in college.

If it was said that the words of a person who had only met once and the words of the so-called father in front of her, she would prefer to believe the former.

There is no need for Aunt Mu to lie to her, and Gu Fangyan is not, he may have been hiding something.

"Really?" Gu Yanran said curiously, "Then how did you meet at school?"

”

It was rare to see that his daughter was not alienated from him, Gu Fangyan's heart also softened, and he began to say: "It's very cliché, in the library." ”

"What kind of person was my mother at that time?" Gu Yanran looked at him curiously, his eyes were firmly fixed on the corners of his lips, people would have a lot of small movements before lying.

Sure enough, Gu Fangyan subconsciously

What kind of person is it? Gu Fangyan fell into deep thought, when he saw her for the first time, it was just a glimpse, but her figure could not be forgotten, and her smile like a clear breeze and bright moon at that moment made his heart ripple.

It's just that her smile wasn't for him......

"Your mother was free and easy at that time, she had her own ideas and a good personality. ”

"Then she should have a lot of friends, right?"

Gu Fangyan was puzzled, why did Gu Yanran keep asking such strange questions today, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, she has a lot of friends." ”

The smile on Gu Yanran's face remained unchanged, but her heart sank, Aunt Mu clearly said that her mother's temperament is very cold, and most people are not very happy to be with her, so she has few friends.

But his expression doesn't seem to be fake, and the appearance of his mother in his mouth seems to really exist.

"So are you both first loves?"

Gu Fangyan was stunned for a moment, his face was a little bad, "Yes, what's wrong with you today, why do you keep asking this?" Gu Fangyan looked at her suspiciously.

"Nothing. Gu Yanran took an apple and handed it to him, "I just want to ask." ”

Seeing her expression, Gu Fangyan didn't suspect that it was fake, and nodded, "Okay, it's a bit too much, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while." ”

"Okay, then you can sleep, I'll be by your side. Gu Yanran put down the bed for him, tucked the quilt, and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.

She looked at the sleeping figure lying on the bed, picked up her phone and walked out gently.

The person behind her slowly opened her eyes as she walked out the door......

Gu Yanran directly dialed a phone call and went out.

The other side immediately picked it up, and before Gu Yanran could say anything, the person on the other side roared angrily, "Gu Yanran! You are missing for me again, are you! Where are you now?"

Gu Yanran glanced at the phone contact again, and made sure that he had made a mistake, so he put it back to his ear, "How did I play missing?" I'm in Nanjing now, and my dad had a car accident. ”

The other side was stunned, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm recuperating in the hospital now. Wait, you make it clear, what do you mean I play missing? Won't you call me?"

"I called, then you should answer me!" Xu Yichen was so angry that he couldn't do it.

Gu Yanran was stunned for a moment, checked the call records on his mobile phone, and did not show Xu Yichen's missed calls at all.

His voice came from the speakerphone, "When will you come back, I'll pick you up?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Well, that's good. Xu Yichen snorted lightly, "Is there something wrong with calling me?"

"Check a few things for me. ”

"How many?"

"Hmm. Gu Yanran glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "The Gu family has been moving recently, you can find a few people to help me keep an eye on it." ”

"I know, I've been staring at it. ”

"Also, yesterday Mr. Gu gave me a brocade box, which was left by my mother, it should be some letters or something, when the time comes, I will bring things over, you see if there is a way to find a locksmith to open the things, don't break the box." ”

"It's all the little things. ”

"That's not what I'm going to tell you, I want you to look up what happened more than twenty years ago. ”

"Twenty years ago? Haven't we been looking into it? But there is no eyebrow. ”

"Don't check the Xu family and the Wen family, there are grandfather and old man Wen, what do you think you can find out?" Grandpa and uncle all knew about it, but they kept suppressing the matter, it must be because the matter was very serious, "Find my mother's classmates in college, and you can know a lot of things." "Isn't Aunt Mu one of them?

Besides, my mother was very concerned at school at that time, and many people should know about her situation.

"Okay, I know, I'll look it up. ”

"And ......," Gu Yanran reported to him a number, "Help me find the recent contact list and SMS contact list of this number." ”

Xu Yichen was surprised after writing down the number, "Isn't this your father's number?"

"Hmm. When I came that day, I heard Gu Keran say that it was because I texted him that he had an accident on the way to find me. But after that, I never heard the Gu family mention this matter again, don't you think it's strange?"

"You mean, someone framed you?" Xu Yichen frowned.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. ”

"What's wrong with you lately? Why are you so grudging by villains, when you come back, I'll take you to the temple to worship." ”

"Let's talk about it then, I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first. ”

As soon as she put down her phone, she looked up and saw someone in front of her, so frightened that she stepped back, "Why are you here?

"Well, it's over, is it convenient to go out now?"

Gu Yanran glanced in the direction of the ward, "There is a nurse here, it should be okay to walk away for a while, I'll go and say." ”

Gu Yanran went back to the room to get the bag, and after a few words of advice from the nurse, he followed Wen Yan downstairs, "Where are you going?"

Wen Yanzhi's expression was a little serious, "You'll know when you arrive." ”

Half an hour later, the car stopped, Gu Yanran was different, the Wen family's old house, what did he bring her here for?

After getting out of the car, Gu Yanran followed him inside.

This time it was much cleaner than last time, and the debris on the road was cleaned up, and it was not very difficult to walk around in it.

Bypass the front yard

When he walked in further, Gu Yanran saw the scene in front of him, his face was full of disbelief, "What's going on!"

The six pines in front of me have withered, the branches are hanging on the sides, and the leaves are no longer visible on the top.

The last time I came back, it was still very lush, and it was only less than a month, how could it be like this?

"According to the workers here, it began to wither in the first two weeks, and in a few days, it became like this. Wen Yanzhi frowned.

Longevity trees wither, which is really not a good sign.

"No warning?" This is too unbelievable, isn't it, a tree that is more than a thousand years old will wither?

Wen Yanzhi shook his head, he picked up a sharp iron sheet from the side, squatted down, and cut hard at the root of the tree.

Gu Yanran looked at what happened in front of him in disbelief.

What did she see? From where the root had been cut, a liquid slowly flowed out, blood-red.

"Yes...... Blood?"

Wen Yanzhi shook his head, "No, it's just that the color is too similar to the color of blood." ”

Gu Yanran also squatted down, she wanted to find out, she reached out with her hand, but before she could touch the liquid, suddenly there was a tingling pain in her hand, and she hurriedly retracted it.

She looked at her hand, and there was a wound on her middle finger near the palm of her hand, and blood was pouring out.

Wen Yanzhi immediately grabbed her hand, took out a tissue from his pocket and hugged it, "Why are you so careless." ”

"It's fine. Gu Yanran retracted his hand and looked at the root of the tree again.

However, in the next second, Gu Yanran felt a chill down his spine.

The scene just now seemed to be her delusion, and at this moment, the roots of the tree were undamaged in front of her eyes, and where was the crack, let alone the blood-red liquid that flowed from it.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
