[40] Memories
Lan Fei was still sitting in front of the mirror in a daze as always, but she felt that her image suddenly blurred.
This feeling of distraction that is not under her control scares her, but she is alone in the room, and no one can help her. She didn't understand what was going on at this moment with thousands of years of experience, and subconsciously reached out to grab something to let herself get a moment of stability, but suddenly heard a faint voice ringing in her ears.
"Would you like to go back in time and live again?"
Lan Fei was stunned, didn't think too much, nodded again and again: "Yes, I do!" โ
In an instant, the world swirled.
Unbeknownst to her, this reliving would erase all her memories of this time. She thought that this time Tianpian would give her a chance to cherish again, but she didn't expect it......
In Lan Mansion, seventeen-year-old Lan Fei was lying on the bed, looking at the beads hanging obliquely on the tent curtain.
Three days ago, a fire burned most of the Lan Mansion to the ground, but fortunately, Lan Fei helped her bedridden grandmother to go out to seek medical treatment, and she escaped such a catastrophe. But it's strange to say, Lan Fei has always paid attention to the kitchen, and she will wait until the firewood is extinguished to make a meal, and the weather has not been hot recently, and she suddenly caught fire, which made her very incomprehensible.
Moreover, the Lan Mansion depends on her and her grandmother for their lives, and how to offend any enemies.
It was raining outside, and the water soaked through the charcoal-fired wood, emitting a slight ** smell. The unpleasant smell swept through the hall and into the small building.
Lan Fei simply sat up, put on her clothes, and decided to decoct the medicine.
Although it was still a little early for grandma to take the medicine for the first time, she had nothing to do, so she was ready early to pass the time. It's just that because of the rainy day, the stairs are extraordinarily slippery, and Lan Fei hurriedly went downstairs, but she was unstable and fell down in the air.
Seven or eight stairs were enough to make her wolf-bรจi.
A hand suddenly appeared in front of him, saying that it was a hand, but rather a sleeve. The man deliberately kept his sleeves long and kept them out to prevent direct skin-to-skin contact. Lan Fei looked up along the hand, and saw that it was a strange young man, so she got up instantly, took three steps back, straightened up her clothes, and stumbled: "You, you, you...... Thief ......" was halfway through her words, and she felt that the person in front of her did not seem to be a thief.
He is magnificent, his manners are good, and he even wants to help her to take into account the defense of men and women, and then look at it, his sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, his eyes are as calm as autumn water, his long nose is straight, his thin lips are slightly pursed, and his hair is half tied into a bun with a hosta, no matter how you look at it, he can't be a bad person.
Although Lan Fei rarely came into contact with strangers, she could sense that he was not the slightest hostile, so she changed her tone and asked, "Who are you?" What to do at my house. โ
The young man saluted and said: "In Xia Duguchen, passing by here, I noticed that there was a fox demon breath in the mansion, so I entered the mansion to investigate. "After a pause, no one answered when I knocked on the door for a long time, and there were traces of fire in the Goodbye Mansion, thinking that this place had been abandoned by the owner, so I rushed in and never thought about it...... Please don't blame the girl, and say goodbye in the next place. โ
Dugu Chen turned around and wanted to leave, but Lan Fei stopped him: "Hey...... You say, there is a fox demon in the house? โ
"Yes." He turned again.
"What's the credentials?"
Dugu Chen lowered his eyes for a moment and said: "I have studied Kunlun since I was a child, and I am sensitive to demon breath. โ
Lan Fei was stunned, and looked at Dugu Chen again, he was wearing blue and white clothes, and there were indeed sect symbols on his placket, belt and shoes. Lan Fei has also heard of the Kunlun faction, it relies on Kunlun Immortal Mountain, in the place where the aura gathers the most prosperous, majoring in immortals, not asking about official affairs and military chaos, but taking the elimination of demons as its own responsibility, often many disciples go out to calm the trouble, it is indeed an upright sect.
Thinking of this, Lan Fei smiled and said, "Dugu Gongzi is reasonable...... Actually, I also think that the fire in the house is too strange. I went out with my grandmother three days ago, and when I came back, I found that Arashi Mansion had been burned to the ground. I asked the neighbors, and they said that there was no fire and spontaneous combustion, and when they all found out, most of the house had burned down. After a pause, "So, could it be that there are monsters doing it?" โ
Dugu Chen nodded: "I don't rule out this possibility, the location where the Lan Mansion is located is the most suitable place for demon cultivation within a radius of a hundred miles." I'm afraid that I have taken a fancy to this place and want to use this to get rid of you and take the Arashi Mansion for myself. โ
Lan Fei raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, very surprised.
She suddenly remembered one thing, that is, in the past few years, she often dreamed of a scene. I was in the midst of the fire, and I could feel the heat of the fire, but I didn't smell the smell of scorched things. She couldn't find an exit, she was tightly wrapped in the fire, and whenever the fire was about to drown herself, she could always hear a voice in her body saying: Concubine, don't be afraid.
I woke up from my dream every night and was sweating profusely.
"Girl?" Seeing that she had been losing her mind, Dugu Chen called tentatively. Lan Fei responded casually, found that she was out of shape, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "What do you think of Dugu Gongzi?" โ
"If it's convenient, I want to explore around the house."
Lan Fei stepped aside and said, "Please, the entire Lan Mansion is just me and my grandmother." Grandma lives on the first floor and I am on the second floor...... Grandma is sick in bed, and she hopes that Dugu Gongzi will not disturb. โ
Dugu Chen nodded and said, "I must pay attention to it in the future." โ
Seeing him turn around and walk towards the courtyard, Lan Fei also went to the kitchen to prepare the medicine. She had never thought that there were monsters doing these strange things, or that she didn't have much idea about the monsters themselves. She also feared ghosts and gods, believing that there were unreasonable things in the world, but she never thought that she would be so calm, so she agreed with Dugu Chen's point of view.
Soaking the medicinal herbs in water to remove the dust, Lan Fei was full of worries and went to start the fire again, and burned her fingertips carelessly, she hurriedly put her hand to her mouth and blew, but heard a few light coughs by the door.
Lan Fei's face instantly burned.
It's a shame to be seen by outsiders twice to be stupid......
"Ahem, what does Dugu have a clue?" She didn't dare to raise her head, so she took the firewood and added it to the stove.
"Not yet, but there are a few questions below."
"Please."
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of going down, why did the girl's parents go?" Dugu Chen lowered his voice slightly.
Lan Fei was stunned, and her hand holding the firewood was in the air: "Speaking of which...... For as long as I can remember, I didn't know who my parents were. Since I was a child, my grandmother has been with me and by my side. Two years ago, my grandmother was suddenly bedridden, and the disease came strangely, and the doctor said that this can only use some precious medicinal materials to continue her life, and there is no cure at all. โ
"I'm sorry......" Dugu Chen paused for a moment, "You might as well tell the girl, the fox demon aura is the worst in the place where the girl lives." Fear...... The girl's grandmother has been ill for a long time, which may also be the reason. โ
"Really!" Lan Fei got up suddenly, "Then, if that's the case, do you have a way to make my grandma better?" โ
Dugu Chen was slightly stunned by her reaction, and then nodded: "If it's caused by a monster, it's down-"
Before the words fell, Lan Fei had already walked quickly in front of him, and even turned around: "Dugu Gongzi, please." โ
