Chapter 1: Ten Years Back

Next Chapter

At the beginning of the Republic of China, a small city by the sea.

Late autumn has arrived, but the climate here is still pleasant and pleasant. Yun Qilan walked into that place again, and that was where she had been haunted by her dreams for ten years.

The gentle wind blew through the face that had gone through hardships but was still delicate, and the eyes, which were already clear as pearls, seemed to be bigger again. She first brushed the long hair that was blown up on her forehead, and then straightened up the small cardigan that matched her long skirt. This is her habitual action, and it is also a reflection of paying great attention to her image.

Although she is now over thirty years old, her graceful and slender figure has not changed, and there seems to be no trace of time on her face. The only thing that is more is the faint sadness in my heart.

Under the afterglow of the sunset, the pavilions and pavilions of the past, although they have become ruins and broken walls, but the four big characters of "Yinglan Villa" on the high archway are still eye-catching.

Walking on the path that was once familiar and now covered with thorns and gravel, the faint fragrance of fragrance entered her nostrils with the wind, and soon, she saw the long-lost orchid again. The dust of memory quietly opens in the rendering of flowers......

This manor, along with dozens of orchids here, was built and planted by him for her. This is a place that has fascinated her and is also the most proud of her. Yun Qilan smiled unconsciously, however, she quickly disappeared again. A painful memory jumped out unconsciously......

"Qilan, is that you? Are you back? Oh my God, I've finally waited for this day, Qilan, you're finally willing to come back! ”

A familiar voice disturbed Yun Qilan's memories, and she looked at it vigilantly. A familiar face, just a stone's throw away from her. Yun Qilan's heart trembled instantly, she opened her mouth but quickly closed it, and she subconsciously dodged into the grass.

"Qilan, how have you been doing for ten years? Is there any cold in heaven? Are there any worries? You know? Actually, I ......"

These words made Yun Qilan's scalp tingle a little when she heard it. What do you mean? Oh, got it! He had already regarded her as a soul, and perhaps for the past ten years, he had been waiting for her soul to appear.

Through the gap in the grass, Yun Qilan carefully looked at the man. He is not like her, he has not aged for ten years, and now he is full of vicissitudes. Although his facial features are still sharp and angular, Junyi still looks like he was back then, but on closer inspection, he is only in his early thirties, and his sideburns still show silver threads. A slight wrinkle also crept up on the forehead. He was still wearing a navy blue gown, but he looked much thinner.

"No, why is there something strange in his gaze? Also, why is he in a wheelchair? ”

Yun Qilan was secretly blaming herself for her carelessness, why did she notice these details? Her heart couldn't help but flutter again, this time more worried, for the man in front of her.

"Fang Yan, why did you run here again? Don't you know that you have bad eyes? ”

It was a woman who spoke, about the same age as Yun Qilan. Although the appearance and figure are average, they are not ugly. It's just that the good brocade cheongsam, with wavy curly hair, and high-heeled leather shoes under her feet, give her a noble lady's temperament.

"Leng Chunzhu!"

Yun Qilan almost screamed, Leng Chunzhu was a person she was very familiar with. They used to be best friends, and after she married into the Fang family, in order to help Leng Chunzhu, who was poor, she found her a job on the Fang family's farm. As for later, Yun Qilan became more and more unable to understand Leng Chunzhu.

"Chunzhu, you're just in time! Look around, is there any Qilan? ”

At this time, Fang Yan's face showed joy and anticipation. Leng Chunzhu's face became even more gloomy, she grabbed Fang Yan's wheelchair armrest with both hands, and quickly turned the wheelchair around.

"It's time for you to take your medicine."

Leng Chunzhu said a few words unhurriedly, and at the same time prepared to push the wheelchair away from the villa.

"Chunzhu, slow! Why don't you always believe me? This time it was very, very real, I heard her footsteps, even ...... Her breath and ......"

"And what? Does her usual perfume smell right? You've said this thousands, tens of thousands of times! Hehe, ghosts don't have footsteps, haven't you heard? You just don't talk nonsense, okay? ”

"Nope! I believe that Qilan has ghosts, or...... She's not dead at all, she must have come back to me, to see our daughter......"

"Fang Yan! Are you still finished? It's been ten years, and you can't see a living person next to you, but you can't forget the woman who has been dead for ten years! I really don't understand, is your heart flesh or not? A person who takes care of you without complaint or regret when you are sick or injured, you are indifferent! A woman who does her filial piety in front of Gao Tang for you and raises your offspring for you, you actually turn a blind eye! ”

"Chunzhu, what are you talking about? In the past ten years, I have known your kindness, your kindness, and your deep sisterhood for Qilan, and I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Huh! Grateful? What a beautiful word, a woman's best ten years of youth, in exchange for these two words! Fang Yan, you ......"

The more Leng Chunzhu spoke, the more excited he became, and his expression became more and more angry. For a while, Fang Yan didn't know how to explain? Maybe in his heart, he felt a little sorry for this woman. Fang Yan was silent, and Leng Chunzhu finally pushed him out of the dilapidated villa in a wheelchair.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on those ruins and broken walls, making this Shadow Orchid Villa a little more desolate. Yun Qilan parted the weeds and walked to the gravel path, her mind now wrapped in anger and resentment.

Looking at Leng Chunzhu's back, Yun Qilan gritted her teeth vigorously. Her feet moved forward unobediently, she desperately wanted to know the Fang family's new mansion now, because there was another person she wanted to see the most.

"My daughter, she's ten years old, she should be so tall...... No, no, it should be that high, right? She must be beautiful and cute! ”

Yun Qilan whispered to herself, gesturing with one hand, predicting her daughter's height. At that moment, a smile crossed the corner of her mouth. In the past ten years of cold and summer, the daughter who appears the most in thousands of dreams is the daughter. I remember that day in the fire, she handed over her infant daughter to the butler, and then she escaped, and she ran to the river in despair and jumped into it.

Putting these aside for the time being, at this moment, she must catch up with Leng Chunzhu and find the Fang family's new house. She has endured the pain of missing her daughter for ten years, and it is close at hand, so how can she give up?

Facing the slightly chilly breeze, she slowly moved forward on the once familiar road. and the two in front of him, maintaining a distance from each other's facial features.
