Although Yan Ran hates it, she is a person who can make her happy.

The two talked and laughed for a while, Yan Ran finally got serious, sat there and said to her with emotion, "I saw you sitting alone in the pavilion, so I thought you were still smiling...... You haven't laughed since that incident.

Yan Ran is talking about Zhao Qiaoyun's death.

"yes, yes." Zhao Liusi sighed, looked into the distance, a little lazy, "It's a bit hypocritical to say that I'm sad now, I'm not a virgin, if there is really a chance for me to choose again, I will still let her die...... But I just feel sad. ”

Zhao Liusi didn't know how to state her complicated feelings, Zhao Qiaoyun's unbearable suicide was forced by her, but if she was still alive, she would feel sorry for many people. I'm sorry for Aunt Qian who died for her, and I'm sorry for the second lady who died in obscurity.

Although the girl was willful, she was not bad-hearted, what she told Zhao Qiaoyun was true, and when Yan Ran said everything, she remembered what Aunt Qian said when she met her for the last time, that kind of apologetic and reluctant gaze, like the last cry for help from a dying person. Maybe Aunt Qian has been waiting for the second miss to find out, but the second miss is too stupid, she didn't notice anything, so it only caused the silent death of two people.

The sentence that Aunt Qian is not to blame is also true, that is the words that the second lady left to Zhao Liusi, a descendant, after she realized everything before she died.

She didn't know that Aunt Qian was dead at the time, and she thought she was the only one who was murdered, so she said "no blame". Being alive is not a very happy thing for her, her mother's early death, her father's insignificance, her sister's life and death are unknown, and her last bit of warmth comes from Aunt Qian, a person who is like a mother but not a mother. She was bad at her, she knew that she would forgive herself, so she was willing to be used as a gun by her, and when she was about to end her life, she understood her pain and helplessness, so she chose to forgive and give up. She gave up to continue to live in this devastated world, so Zhao Liusi took over so easily.

Zhao Liusi lost most of the memory of the second lady, and when she first crossed over, she didn't know anything, and she complained a lot about this bear child. But with the investigation of the case with Yan Ran, she recovered those memories little by little, just like receiving a letter from a distant pen pal, she suddenly understood the child who hated the ghost.

The world is so cold, even if you shout and make a fuss, you can't get back the people you meet, so it's better to go back.

The second lady didn't have any feelings for Zhao Qiaoyun, just like Zhao Liusi guessed in advance, she never cared about this sister, so she couldn't talk about hating or hating.

It was Zhao Liusi who used words to force Zhao Qiaoyun to death, cut off her last bit of vitality, and make her collapse.

"Being a bad guy isn't a pleasant thing." Yan Ran knocked on Zhao Liusi's head, "However, it shouldn't be a burden to you." ”

"I forced her to die." Zhao Liusi said faintly, "I actually know that she is pitiful, but I am very unwilling why she can survive, I am unwilling, I am not willing to ...... her."

Zhao Liusi shut his mouth.

She was unwilling, the second miss died like this, and no one in this world knew about her death except herself.

That's why she had the idea of avenging the second miss at that moment.

Zhao Liusi raised his head with complicated and indescribable emotions, but when he looked up, he saw Yan Ran's gentle and generous eyes, and he was stunned.

"You, aren't you curious if I'm the second miss?" Zhao Liusi looked at Yan Ran's appearance, and suddenly became mischievous, and stretched out his hand to scare him with the appearance of a ghost, "Aren't you worried that I'm a monster, deliberately approaching you, trying to suck your essence dry?" ”

"Really? Come on. Yan Ran looked at him with a calm look. Zhao Liusi confronted him for a moment and then confidently withdrew his hand, "Hmph, if you do this again, be careful of suffering." ”

"I've eaten enough sweetness, but I want to know what it's like to be bitter." Yan Ran said with a smile, seeing Zhao Liusi glaring at him angrily, he finally withdrew his hand, "Okay, don't laugh, I know what you mean, but I don't know the second lady well, are you a lonely ghost who robbed her body, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Count it up, I have a deeper friendship with you."

Zhao Qiaoyun had spread the word that Zhao Liusi was possessed by a wild ghost at home before, and I have to say that in this era, this kind of rumor is still very marketable, and Zhao Liusi has changed greatly before and after, which is also a clear fact. But then Yan Ran helped Zhao Liusi memorize the book, saying that Zhao Liusi's personality changed because she was on the verge of life and death, and Aunt Qian used Zhao Liusi's trust in her to poison her, and also threw her own death on her, so that even if she was not poisoned, she would not survive shocked everyone, so everyone looked at Zhao Liusi who was "used" with sympathetic eyes.

However, even if she can be confused, Zhao Liusi is still apprehensive in her heart, and no one has ever said so calmly as Yan Ran, "It doesn't matter if you are her" and "I only recognize you as a friend", which made her speechless and moved.

A thousand words came to his mouth, but when he opened his mouth, it only turned into one sentence, "How much money do you need?" Tell me, I'll give it to you. ”

It's too numb to say thank you or something, so let's pay and talk about it.

"You're not dead yet." Yan Ran burst out laughing, shook her head, and finally explained her true intentions to her, "Lack of money is just an excuse, the reason why I went to work in the yamen is mainly because, I want to check one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Liusi suddenly came to his senses and blurted out, "I can help you check." ”

She has Xiao Hei as an assistant, and she can also interplay with Xiao Hei from time to time, so it is easy to find out the news.

"You," Yan Ran was about to dislike it, but Zhao Liusi took the first step to steal the white, "You can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, this case, you say, did I find out a lot of things?" ”

"This ......" Yan Ran was still thinking about it, and Zhao Liusi released a second wave of attacks, "If you don't tell me, I'll tell others that you came to Lingtai County with bad intentions." ”

"You are really," Yan Ran couldn't help but knock on her head when she looked at her like that, "let me know what it means for a church disciple to starve Master." ”

"Say it," Zhao Liusi was rarely coquettish, and made a tight-lipped promise, "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone anything." ”

"Okay." Yan Ran knew that if she wanted to find out the news, she would definitely have to find the locals, so she didn't rule out telling Zhao Liusi. After all, he has been observing for so long, and he has only found this one person who can be trusted, not to mention that everyone still has a lifelong friendship.

"Here's the thing, as you said, I did come to Lingtai County for another purpose." Yan Ran nodded, motioned for her to sit beside her, and then lowered her voice, "I want to check the battle of Chiyue Mountain back then. ”

"The Battle of Akatsuki Mountain?" Zhao Liusi looked confused.

"Just north of Lingtai County," Yan Ran looked serious, "Lingtai is the westernmost city, and further north is the border fortress, when the Hu people entered the customs, in the Chiyue Mountain north of Lingtai County, a big battle was waged with the 300,000 troops of the imperial court. This war changed the fortunes of the two countries and changed the fate of countless people here. ”

"Ahh Zhao Liusi exclaimed, "I've never heard of this kind of thing. ”

"You weren't born at the time, so it's normal not to know." Yan Ran smiled, "Actually, it's not just you, but everyone inside and outside the court has almost forgotten about this matter." After all, eighteen years have passed, and the locals don't talk much about it. ”

"And what do you want to look up?" Zhao Liusi lowered his voice, "You are an undercover agent sent by the imperial court?" ”

"Undercover? You little girl would have thought. Yan Ran smiled dumbly, shook her head, and then said with a little melancholy, "I'm not here for the court, I'm here for myself." ”

"Oh, you were just a kid then, what do you have to do with this big war?" Zhao Liusi asked, and countless enemy princes had flashed out of their minds, lost in war, sought their roots as adults, and fell into the dilemma of whether I am Han or Hu, and finally committed suicide by jumping off a cliff outside Yanmen Pass......

"My dad died in this battle...... I was eight years old, and my father was ordered to go on a campaign, and he never went back. People say he's dead, but I don't believe it...... I'm going to take a look. Yan Ran moved the corners of her lips, and then said calmly, but there was a faint sadness.

It turned out to be the story of a little tadpole looking for his father. Zhao Liusi made a note in his heart, he originally wanted to say that more than ten years had passed since the war, and there were too many unknown soldiers who died in the war in this era, so it was unlikely to find anything. But after thinking about it again, Yan Ran came all the way, most of them were obsessed. As a friend, you shouldn't hit the other person's efforts, anyway, it's just looking for someone, and there's no harm in looking for it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liusi immediately made a decision, "Okay, I'll help you find it." ”

Yan Ran looked at Zhao Liusi in surprise, "My family knows my thoughts, and they all say that I am a madman...... Would you still like to help me? ”

"I recognize you as a friend, so whether you are a fool or a madman, you are my friend, your business is my business, what is wrong with me helping you." Zhao Liusi said in a big way, "Besides, when they all think that I am a murderer, didn't you also help me clear my name?" ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Yan Ran smiled, and then threw Zhao Liusi a difficult question, "But you live here, I'm going to the county seat soon, how can you help me?" ”

This is a problem, the Zhao family lives in another village in the countryside, and their family is big enough to be completely self-sufficient, but it is also very closed. If she wants to help Yan Ran find out the news, she has to at least move back to the city.

It's just that she is a girl's family, how could the Zhao family agree to her moving back to the city?

"There will always be a way," Zhao Liusi was silent for a second, and then made a decision with a wave of his hand, "I can definitely think of a way to get out of here." ”

She wasn't the second lady in the first place, and the longer she stayed, the easier it was to show her feet, so whether it was for Yan Ran or herself, she had to leave this place as soon as possible.
