Qingyan and Yu Wan looked in the direction of the old woman's finger, only to see a house on the wasteland in the distance, the house is not big, the door is full of birds, the east side of the house is an open-air market, the market is full of people, endless, obviously in the same place, but one is so prosperous, one is desolate, those people seem to have specially avoided the house, they all cover their noses when passing by, with a look of disgust.

"Is that the Lan family?" Yu Wan frowned puzzled.

Qingyan was about to ask the old woman again, but the old woman was called away by her wife and went into the city together.

"I'll take a look." Qingyan said.

"I'll go with Kageroku." Shadow 13 jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the mansion that the old woman was referring to.

It didn't take long for the two of them to turn back, and their expressions were a little indescribable.

Yu Wan looked at them strangely: "What's wrong?" Is it the Lan family? ”

"Ah...... This ......," Shadow Six scratched his head in embarrassment, "We didn't go in, the people inside closed the door as soon as they saw us, we can't break in without permission, so let's ask the young master and the lady, do you want to break in?" ”

In Yan Jiuchao's current memory, he is the king of the ghost clan, but Yu Wan told him that they were traveling in micro-clothes, and in order to hide their identities, they pretended to be the young master of Yancheng, and Yan Jiuchao readily agreed, so Ying Liu and Ying Thirteen could call him the young master openly and honestly.

Yu Wan thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you to take a look." ”

Yan Jiuchao closed her eyes and sensed it with her internal force, there was no danger, so she didn't say anything to stop her and not let her go.

Yu Wan got out of the carriage.

Qingyan, Moon Hook, and Ah Wei drove the three carriages aside, no longer occupying the team entering the city.

"Young lady, be careful." Shadow Thirteen looked at the potholed ground.

"Hmm." Yu Wan hummed, lifted her skirt, and stepped over cautiously.

The mansion didn't look close, but it wasn't far away, and the three of them soon came to the door.

Shadow Six raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone?" ”

Naturally, there is, but I don't know if I can open it.

All three of them had good ears, and could hear the sound of gurgling water in the yard, as well as low coughs and footsteps.

Shadow Six raised his hand again and knocked on the wooden door, "Excuse me, is there anyone?" ”

The occupants of the house still had no intention of opening the door.

Ying Liu looked at Yu Wan helplessly.

Yu Wan said, "I'll come." ”

Ying Liu stepped aside, Yu Wan stepped forward and tapped lightly with her fingers: "May I ask if the Lan family is here?" We're here to find our relatives. ”

I don't know if this sentence touched the people in the yard, the wooden door creaked open, and Yu Wan saw an old woman with a stiff back, the grandmother couldn't even walk very well, and her body couldn't stand up, so she only opened a crack in the door slightly, and looked at Yu Wan vigilantly and the shadow six and shadow thirteen behind her.

Yu Wan could detect that her vigilance mainly came from Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen, was it because they were tall and big, and they were very capable of fighting when they looked at them?

The old grandmother's gaze fell back on Yu Wan's face, I don't know if she saw something, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this surprise, Yu Wan felt a score in her heart, but she still asked her: "This grandmother, is this the Lan family?" ”

The old lady didn't speak.

Yu Wan took out the token and portrait found at the bottom of the cliff from her bosom, handed them to the old lady and said, "May I ask grandma, do you know these?" ”

The old lady took the token and portrait from Yu Wan's hand, and then her expression changed suddenly, she left Yu Wan and walked into the house with the steps of an old dragon clock.

Yu Wan didn't follow up rashly, but waited patiently in place.

After about half a cup of tea, the old lady came back, opened the courtyard door for Yu Wan, and welcomed Yu Wan in.

Shadow 13 and Shadow 6 also tried to step inside, but the old lady stopped them fiercely.

Yu Wan turned her head and said, "You guys are waiting for me here." ”

Shadow Six frowned: "Ah...... This...... We want to protect the young lady closely......"

Yu Wan curled the corners of her lips: "I'm fine." ”

Seeing that Shadow Thirteen had no intention of objecting, Ying Liu raised his eyebrows: "Okay then." He turned to the old lady and said, "You'd better not bully my young lady!" Our fists are very hard! ”

The old lady rolled her eyes and closed the courtyard door with a bang!

Yu Wan entered the courtyard, only to find that there was a stove in the corner, and a medicine jar was simmering on the stove.

Are there any patients in the Lan family?

The old lady took Yu Wan around the corridor to a half-hidden door, and compared her throat, and Yu Wan realized that she was a dumb servant.

Yu Wan bowed.

The old lady knocked on the door, one long and two short.

An old voice came from inside the room: "Come in." ”

The old lady pushed open the door for Yu Wan and motioned for Yu Wan to go in.

Yu Wan stepped into the house.

The room was darkly lit, a strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils, and the furnishings were very simple, even rudimentary, with cracked walls, split window lattices, and tables, chairs, and benches with paint peeled.

When I was still in the old house in Lotus Village, I lived in such a house.

Yu Wan couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart, could this really be the Lan family? Could it be that I found the wrong one?

The nobility of the new capital should not be in such a depressed situation no matter what.

"Are you coming?" The hoarse voice came from the bed again.

Yu Wan bypassed the screen, the light here was darker, but she could see clearly, on the bed covered with straw mats, there was a withered old lady, she should be very old, her hair was gray, her face was slightly distorted because of pain, and her cloudy old eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Yu Wan.

"You...... Come here, let me see. She spoke in a hoarse voice.

Yu Wan came to the side of the bed, looked at the stool, sat down on the edge of the bed, and approached her so that she could see her face better.

She raised her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Yu Wan's face, but she couldn't reach it.

Yu Wan is not a person who likes to be close to people, but somehow, this old lady makes her feel the urge to get close.

Yu Wan then took the initiative to lean over and let her touch her face.

Lan's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "You are ......"

Yu Wan said: "My grandmother is Shen Yun, and my grandmother is a runaway daughter of the Lan family. ”

In this way, Lan understood that her mother was alone when she ran away, but unexpectedly gave birth to a half-sister to them outside.

Lan was stunned for a moment.

Yu Wan's gaze fell on the portrait held by the old man, "Is the person on the portrait you?" Are you my aunt? ”

Lan nodded and shook his head again: "She is my sister, the sister of twins." ”

Yu Wan had an epiphany, no wonder she felt that the old man and the woman in the portrait not only did not match their appearance, but also had a different temperament, and she was also due to old age and illness.

Lan looked at Yu Wan with tears in his eyes and said, "It's really like......"

Yu Wan blinked her eyes and said, "Like that aunt?" ”

Lan nodded: "Like her, like my mother." ”

Although Lan and Ah Si are twin sisters, she inherited her father's appearance, and only Ah Mei inherited her mother's.

Lan found that she did not reject this child, and even maybe because she was very similar to her mother and sister, she liked her very much, Lan took Yu Wan's hand and said, "Originally, I thought you were the descendant of my sister, but who expected that it was my sister's, how old are you?" What is it called? ”

"My name is Ah Wan, and I'm eighteen years old this year." Yu Wan said.

"Eighteen." Lan Shi patted Yu Wan's hand with relief, thought of something, and said, "By the way, is your grandmother still alive?" ”

"It's gone." Yu Wan said regretfully.

"Sure enough." Although she had expected that her mother's advanced age was unlikely to be alive in the world, Lan still had a trace of luck, and when she heard the news of her mother's death, she couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Yu Wan didn't know how to comfort her, and waited quietly for her to finish crying.

Lan's eyes were swollen from crying, and Yu Wan handed over a handkerchief.

After wiping away her tears, she took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions on the verge of collapse: "I haven't seen the Lan family for too long, and I lost my temper for a while, so don't be surprised." ”

Yu Wan looked around and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this the Lan family?" Why did my aunt not see the Lan family for too long? Also, I was at the gate of the city just now, and I heard the guards say that there are two Lan families, what is going on? ”

The Lan family sighed: "It's a long story, our Lan family, originally a family, all live in the underworld city, you should have heard that our Lan family's ancestors have produced saints, and your grandmother is also a saint." ”

Yu Wan nodded, she had heard this mentioned by Grandma.

"How did that come about?" She asked.

Lan sighed: "It's not because of that? ”

Yu Wan was about to hear what her aunt had to say, when a woman's scream suddenly came from the other end of the yard.

Lan's complexion changed.

In the next second, the old lady hurriedly walked in and made a few gestures in dumb language.

Lan grabbed Yu Wan's hand: "Zi Yan is going to give birth!" It's your brother's widow! ”
