Chapter 951: I Must Find Her
"Every time the Lan family on Penglai Ancient Island changes the head of the family, a Jiuding meeting will be held before the change, and the responsibility of the Jiuding family will be reaffirmed.
Forty years ago, when I was twenty-one years old and Lan Xin was eleven years old, that year, the ancestor of the Lan family abdicated, and the position of head of the family passed to Lan Xin's mother, Lan Ke.
The Jiuding meeting was held on the island, and in addition to the Lin family and the Xu family, the other seven families sent representatives to come.
The Jiuding Festival will be held in the middle of Linlang Palace, and those who are not qualified can not attend.
As the immediate head of the family, Lan Ke can attend at the same time as Lan Zu, and only one person from the other six families is allowed to be present.
Lan Xin is not qualified to participate.
But she wanted to go, just because she was curious about Jiuding, so she pestered me and asked me to find a way to take her to listen.
Linlang Palace is heavily guarded, and we can't get close at all.
Lan Xin told me that there was a secret passage under Linlang Palace, and through the secret passage, you could climb to the bottom of the room where the meeting was held.
Lan Xin and I entered the secret passage and met a strange middle-aged man.
I can't see what a man looks like, but Lan Xin can.
She said that I looked a lot like a man, almost carved out of a mold.
The man also found me, asked my mother's name, and then grabbed my arm and said, I am his son, I should be surnamed Chen.
He said he had been looking for our mother and son.
He said that he had found out that the Lan family had been around the river when I had been thrown into the river, so he guessed that I had been taken to the island.
He said he had come with his eldest brother just to get me back.
I am an orphan, I have been begging for a living since I was a child, and I have suffered from the eyes of others, and it is common for me to starve and cold.
But I saw that people have parents and fathers, and I also thought about what my father was like, and he knew if I existed......
With tears in his eyes, he hugged me and called out my mother's name.
At that moment, I suddenly faltered.
Although I am good in the Lan family, I am under the fence after all.
He said that he would take me back to Chen's house, let me live a pampered life, make up for the family affection I had lost over the years, and find me a smart and virtuous wife to give birth to children for me.
I was reluctant to Lan Xin, and I didn't promise him.
Lan Xin couldn't bear me, I promised to stay with her, and she was very happy.
Because of my father's sudden appearance, I didn't listen to the Jiuding meeting with Lan Xin in the end.
Because I refused to go with him, but he wanted me to go with him, so he resorted to some means, saying that he wanted our father and son to see each other at a time, at least to spend more time with each other, and to get to know each other, so he asked me to meet that night.
I don't remember much about that night, because I was drunk and woke up with a woman lying next to me.
The woman was undressed, and I was undressed.
I was flustered, I did something sorry for Lan Xin.
The woman told me that she wouldn't tell anyone and that she wouldn't hold me accountable. As long as I don't exist that night.
Later, when the Jiuding meeting was over and the other six families were about to leave, my uncle suddenly found me and asked me to see my dad for the last time.
I was surprised, because the Jiuding meeting was held for three days, and I could meet my dad basically every day, and sometimes although I didn't say a word, I knew that he could run and jump, so why did he suddenly say that he was going to see him for the last time?
I thought my uncle was lying to me.
It's like that night my dad tricked me into going, and I got drunk and slept with a woman who didn't know where she came from.
I don't want to go.
In the end, Lan Xin secretly told me that someone had infiltrated the secret passage, and Lan Zu and Lan Ke were going to execute all those who had entered the secret passage according to the rules.
My dad took this matter alone, and he refused to say that Lan Xin and I had also been to the secret passage.
Those who enter the secret passage will either be executed immediately, and there are three ways to be executed, crossing the knife mountain, walking the blood river, and lighting the sky lantern.
My dad was in Knife Mountain, and he didn't die after that, so his body could be sent back to his original family.
My uncle came to me, except for asking me to see my dad for the last time, that is, to tell me that the Lan family has a secret medicine that has the miraculous effect of reviving the dead.
If I can steal this elixir, my dad will live.
Uncle said, as a child, I don't want to be able to cut meat and return my father like Nezha, at least when his life is dying, I must do my best.
He said that the prescription for the secret medicine was written on a sheepskin, and the sheepskin was hidden at the head of the carved bed where Lan Zu slept.
He said that if I couldn't steal it, he could ask Lan Xin to help.
I hesitated.
Between blood and parenting, I don't know what choice is the right choice to make.
Lan Xin stole the parchment roll from me, and asked me to take it and transcribe a copy to my uncle, and then hurry up and return it, and she put it back in its place.
In this way, it will not be discovered by Lan Zu.
I stole all the things and stole them, so I sent them to my uncle.
After the uncle finished copying, he returned the parchment scroll as promised, and Lan Xin put the things back in their place before Lan Zu found out.
After everyone left the island, I also cut off contact with the Chen family.
I don't know if my dad is dead or alive......
Until Lan Xin grew up, she reached the age of eighteen, and she was old enough to get married.
Gradually, I noticed that she had changed.
It's become less intimate with me.
She had a lot of things she didn't want to say to me anymore.
She didn't want to marry me, and she didn't tell me in time. She chose to secretly follow Aunt Seven out of the island, and then never came back.
I thought she was just going out for a walk, and she would come back when she figured it out.
The seven people who went out of the Lan family found six corpses, but Lan Xinsheng did not see anyone, and he did not see the corpses.
I wanted to go to Lan Xin, but Lan Zu didn't allow it.
She said that although I can live like a normal person, my eyes are broken after all, and if I venture out to sea, I will be sent to death.
She has already sent someone to find out Lan Xin's whereabouts, we just need to be patient and wait, as long as Lan Xin is alive, she will definitely come back.
Then, one day, a lot of boats suddenly came from outside the island, and those boats were chasing a boat with the flag of the Su family.
I saw with my own eyes that Lanzu only sounded the conch, and more than a dozen boats were all dragged into the water by something, and after a while, only the boat with the flag of the Su family floated out and approached the island where we were along the course.
The Su family brought bad news.
About Lyceum.
According to them, Lan Xin and Aunt Seven died together, but Aunt Seven was killed, and Lan Xin was blown up.
A person who was blown to pieces naturally had no corpse left.
I wouldn't believe it, not a word.
So I came out with the Su family's boat.
I must find Lan Xin, I always feel that Lan Xin is not dead.
However, I didn't find Lan Xin, but my uncle's people found me first and said that they would send me somewhere and have an operation on my eye, so that I could see the light of day again.
I'm used to being blind, but I'm looking forward to seeing the world again.
It wasn't until the day I had surgery, the bandage was removed, and my sight was restored, that my uncle told me that I could see again because a woman had transplanted part of her eye to me.
