148 Past and Present Lives: Shadow of Death (1)
"Are you alright?"
When I returned to the enemy's house that day, Chen Lan was so tired that he didn't eat much dinner, so he breathed in the room, and I asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I can hold on."
Hearing this, I sighed, my previous life was much more responsible than me: "I feel a little uneasy in my heart, I always feel that these are all arranged, just waiting to empty you." ”
Chen Lan didn't speak, but I knew that she had the same idea in her heart.
"Do you remember what I told you," I continued, "The old lady's line will attack you and Qiu Hanchen, and finally get the position of the head of the Qiu family, and now that you are being dragged by this demon, I am very worried......"
"I know," she put down her crossed legs, walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water to drink, and then held the cup, "but this demon can't be eliminated, if they were smarter, they wouldn't have attacked me at this time, but when this demon is solved, it's hard to say, and ...... then."
She said that at this time, she was slammed, she should have said how to beware of the old lady's vein after the demon was solved, and then thought of the ending that she and Qiu Hanchen would die, and her heart was cold for a while, and I felt it.
"Even if the ending can't be changed, you can still make some things on the side less bad through hard work, think about Xiaobao, didn't you just summon me for him, in order to break the curse?" I eagerly comforted her.
She chuckled, "yes, I'm narrow-minded." ”
Putting the cup on the table, her eyes were cold: "At least, I have to let the person who killed our family, even if he gets what he wants, he can't be really happy, the price always has to be paid." ”
In the next few days, Chen Lanyi had to go home tired almost every day, for the sake of the people of Qingcheng, she could be said to have all her mental strength, plus, she had a premonition that her death date was imminent, and she had to make every effort to arrange the future, I found that in just a few days, there were many more gray hairs in her hair, and the black on the outside was completely white.
Seeing her like this, I felt very uncomfortable, and I wanted to help her, but she said that in a time and space, there can be no two "mes", which will disrupt the balance and may even make it impossible for me to return to the future.
So, I can only watch...... Watching her betrayed......
That day, no matter how Chen Lan and the others tried to stop it, the plague epidemic still spread to the rich area, and these powerful people were even more difficult to deal with, and it was even more of a headache.
At this moment, the trace of the demon was finally captured.
They tricked up the trick to lure the demon into the trap they had prepared earlier, and seeing that they were about to succeed, Young Master Wang ran out, and what was unexpected was that he turned out to be another demon!
It turned out that the demon did not leave the Wang family at all, he had always been by Young Master Wang's side, Young Master Wang was crazy about love, after Ning Lan was sent away by Chen Lanyi, the paranoid Young Master Wang hated Chen Lanyi with all his heart, and was exploited by the devil, and was divided into two, one part was still himself, and the other part controlled Young Master Wang to practice into his real doppelganger.
It's a pity that when Chen Lanyi was in the Wang family, he was unsettled and didn't notice it.
At this time, Chen Lan wanted to control the magic circle that trapped the demon, and Fan Xue could only lead the others to pursue Young Master Wang.
I was in Chen Lanyi's body, and I clearly saw that after Fan Xue and them left, Qiu Cheng'an, who was supposed to be Chen Lanyi's protector, and his other brother suddenly made a move against Chen Lanyi.
"Lan Yi!" I felt that Chen Lanyi was enduring the severe pain in his body, and he had to resist the unrelenting Qiu Chengan brothers, so anxious that he wanted to help her, but he couldn't leave her body, he could only watch, he could only watch-
Fortunately, Chen Lanyi's strength was too much higher than that of the two brothers, and she was like this, and the two brothers couldn't take her down for a while.
But they are despicable and despicable in their complete shamelessness, the small ones can't beat them, so they come to the big ones, Qiu Chengan's father arrived, and chose to sneak attack again, and the two brothers of Qiu Chengan restrained Chen Lan for a while, and slapped Chen Lanyi on the back.
"Lan Yi!"
I hissed and roared, feeling her body fall to the ground like a tattered tidbit, and for a while, I could only look at the dirt that was almost next to "my" face, and the dirt was still stained red by Chen Lanyi's blood.
I started to feel pain, and the place where Lan was injured was contagious to me, and I sobbed in pain.
She spewed blood again, slowly raised her head, looked at the two generations of the Qiu family's side branch standing in front of her, and then looked at the dilapidated formation without her support, the demon escaped, and laughed at Qiu Cheng'an, saying that they would not forget them if they got benefits in the future, and they would cooperate happily or something.
Lan Yi's heart was almost numb.
For the people of Qingcheng to live a safe and happy life, she protects Qingcheng wholeheartedly, and doesn't want her husband to come back, seeing the bad Qingcheng, she thinks that in the righteousness of human life, even if the enemy wants to fight for power and profit, she must let it go, who knows that they can directly cooperate with the devil and treat the people of the city as nothing!
I can't describe what it was like, but I felt her convulsions in pain but didn't know what it was, I wanted to hug her and cry, and I wanted to say comfortably, "Fool, don't be so stupid in the future." ”
Is there a future?
As soon as Chen Lan fainted, I was still awake, I saw that they locked Chen Lanyi in a cave, the place I had seen once in a dream, they took Chen Lanyi's blood, and then the whole cave was frozen, and the ice was mixed with Chen Lanyi's blood, so that she could not break the ice, and use her own strength to balance herself, which can be described as extremely vicious.
We don't know how long we stayed in the ice cave, we couldn't see the sunlight outside, I don't know when it was dark and when it was dawn, Chen Lanyi had been in a coma, I couldn't wake her up, and what was even more worrying was that there were no parents by my side to protect her, and there were a bunch of relatives of wolves, tigers and leopards eyeing her, what would happen to Xiaobao?
I can't even think about it, as long as I think of what Xiaobao may suffer, even the corners, I feel uncomfortable.
Just when I was about to go berserk, Chen Lanyi suddenly said like a dream: "He's back, he's back!" ”
"What? Lan Yi, what do you say? ”
She finally opened her eyes slowly, and her eyes seemed to be excited and reluctant to look at the thick ice above: "Brother Qiu, you're back." ”
"Really?" I was happy first, but thinking of Qiu Hanchen's next fate, he wilted again, if he came back, it would mean a tragic death, think about it, he might as well not go back.
I was in Chen Lan's body, curling up my consciousness, fantasizing about holding my legs, and burying my head in despair.
I want to die!
Never stopped!
Chen Lanyi's prediction was not wrong, and soon, we vaguely heard the sound outside the ice cave, Chen Lanyi, who had been lying quietly, sat up suddenly, and listened again, she crawled to the entrance of the cave with her hands and feet, lying on the ice trying to see the world outside the ice, and muttered in her mouth: "Brother Qiu? Brother Qiu? ”
didn't let her wait too long, Brother Qiu in her mouth rushed in, knelt on the other side of the ice with one foot, and also stretched out one hand to wipe the ice: "Lan Yi? ”
I looked at him in shock, even though the thick ice had blurred his face, and I could recognize the face that looked like the enemy poet, and even the eyebrows and eyes were almost identical.
"Brother Qiu!" Even in the face of the enemy's partial house colluding with the devil, she can treat her calmly, after seeing Qiu Hanchen, her tears couldn't stop falling, revealing her vulnerability for the first time.
"Don't be afraid," Qiu Hanchen, who had just experienced a big war, had a very heavy aura between his eyebrows, but when he looked at Chen Lanyi (me), his eyes immediately softened, with pity, "I'll save you soon." ”
I also looked at him as if I had seen a dead man, and I was a little stupid for a moment.
Chen Lan shook her head, she wanted Qiu Hanchen to leave him alone and run away quickly, the farther away she could, but she didn't know how to say this.
She hated her foresight, and if she hadn't foreseen the end, she might still have hope.
The noise came, and Qiu Cheng'an, who made this trap, was in order to capture Qiu Hanchen, and Qiu Hanchen jumped into the trap by himself, so they naturally came out to arrest him.
They are still afraid of Qiu Hanchen, and they have found a lot of masters, and I only know that it was not only Qiu Chengan and them who betrayed Chen Lanyi, but also a loose cultivator who came to help at that time, and the son of another family, the old man who nominally wanted to protect the young master, is now among them.
"Lan Yi," Qiu Hanchen didn't care about the group of masters who wanted to arrest him in the gathering place behind him, his eyes were only at Chen Lanyi, "Wait for me!" ”
Chen Lan picked up the ice, I, like her, watched the return of the battle, Qiu Hanchen, who was still wounded, killed the rebels alone, blood splattered, I don't know if it was his, or the enemy's, the blood was splashed far away, covering the ice in front of us with a piece of blood red.
And Chen Lanyi inside, she couldn't use spiritual power when she was sealed in the ice, she tried to dig up the ice with her own strength, digging her fingers bloody, I don't know when, I felt that I was one with her, and I buckled the ice with her one by one, and saw someone outside slashing at Qiu Hanchen's body, and my heart hurt so much that I couldn't breathe.
That's the dead man, that's the ...... O my dead man!
"Ahh
Hate yourself, so ...... Powerless!
"Poof!"
Chen Lan splattered on the ice one by one with a mouthful of blood, and the scorching blood could not melt it.
There is nothing more desperate in the world than this.
Knowing that he was going to die, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, hoping that the other party would be able to escape, but only to see a more tragic death.
He came bloody, his hair was disheveled, and the blood was frozen on his cheeks, and his clothes were badly torn, and on his still upright body, it looked like a fashionable garment.
He stood in front of the ice, raised the wide sword in his hand, and cut the thick ice in front of him with a knife, but did not hurt Chen Lan standing in front of the ice at all.
The ice turned into several "booms" and fell, there was no obstacle between him and her, he took a step closer to her, and then the whole person fell, and was caught by Chen Lanyi (me), and sat down on the ground with him in his arms.
"Brother Qiu." Chen Lan arranged his hair with pity, and after brushing it away, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and as soon as he wiped it clean, his tears fell on his head.
"I'm fine." Qiu Hanchen held her hand, "I just need to rest for a while." ”
As soon as Chen Lan took away the hand that was holding his back, it was full of blood, she held her hand tightly and pinched the blood in her hand out of foam, and then, she put her hand back again as if she didn't know, and nodded to him with a tearful smile: "Well, then you take a rest, wait, wait until you're okay, we have to go back to pick up Xiaobao, you haven't seen him for a long time, he misses you." ”
There is still a hole outside the cave, Qiu Hanchen broke the ice, but he was only trapped here with him, those people were afraid of death, and finally chose to quit, opened the outer confinement, and simply locked Qiu Hanchen in it, waiting to boil Qiu Hanchen to death.
But it's not as simple as just letting them die.
Qiu Hanchen smiled coldly: "I sealed the demon cave, and even a big zongzi was trapped in that tomb by me, if they want to unseal it, they need to use my heart's blood, and ......" He paused, "In this way to unlock the seal, they want me to die, and they are afraid that I will really die like this." ”
died directly, the blood was cooled, how could there be blood in the heart.
What else is there besides his heart's blood, he seems to be evasive, and he didn't say it all, Chen Lan had a heart with him, but he didn't ask, the two hugged each other, cherishing that this might be the last time they were together in this life.
The next day, there was a person who claimed to deliver food into the cave, it stands to reason that no one would dare to come in to deliver food to Qiu Hanchen, probably because he was really afraid that Qiu Hanchen would hang up like this, and wanted him to hold on until they thought of a way to get their hearts and blood before dying, so they sent an ordinary, innocent person to come in to deliver food, thinking that with Qiu Hanchen's chivalry, he should not attack innocent people.
But what they didn't expect was ......
"Big brother!" The person who delivered the meal turned his back to the outside and shouted softly Qiu Hanchen, who had not intended to pay attention to him.
Qiu Hanchen, who had lost too much blood and his breath was gradually weakening, opened his eyes, even at this point, the elite in his eyes did not decrease at all.
"It's me, big brother." The food delivery person pulled down the human skin mask, and it was a man who looked a little similar to Fan Ze.
Qiu Hanchen recognized the other party: "Fan Xuan! How did you get in here? ”
"They needed a food delivery guy, and I pretended to be a civilian, and luckily I was chosen. Big brother, sister-in-law, are you okay? ”
Qiu Hanchen tightened Chen Lanyi, and didn't mean to let go of her because of multiple people, but only asked, "What's the situation outside?" ”
Fan Xuan couldn't hide his anger: "The whole Qingcheng was controlled by them, and the demon made those patients recover their health, everyone thought that your old lady did it, and sang praises to him, but they didn't know that Qingcheng had already been controlled, and it had become a place for the devil to pretend to be food, not only that, because your old lady took the opportunity to slander you for colluding with demons before, so he harmed them like this, and now they hate you one by one and want to gnaw your flesh and blood!" ”
He slammed his fist into his palm hatefully: "Who is desperately trying to keep the current peaceful and prosperous world, but the real hero has become the object of everyone's curse, is there any meaning to everything we did in that demon cave before?" ”
Qiu Hanchen listened quietly, not showing his anger because of this, he asked him what he was more concerned about: "Is there any news of my Xiaobao?" ”
Fan Xuan shook his head ashamedly: "Now that the enemy family is purged, your manpower will either be cut off or driven out, I can't get in for the time being, but ......" He peeked at Chen Lanyi: "The purple duck is dead." ”
Chen Lan twitched his whole body, bit his lower lip and closed his eyes without speaking, the hand on Qiu Hanchen's body was tightly clenched, and the injured finger that was injured before was bleeding again.
Fan Xuan hesitated, and finally chose to confide: "I found that their goal is not only to lift the seal of the demon cave, but also your little treasure. ”
Chen Lan opened his eyes, and Qiu Hanchen's eyes sharpened: "What have you found, say it quickly!" ”
"They may, plot on Xiaobao's body." Fan Xuan looked at the parents, "The two of you have a special physique, one in ten thousand, Xiaobao is your son, and he combines your advantages, they may be interested in ...... Refining his body. ”
"Bang-" Qiu Hanchen directly smashed a stone beside him.
"Xiaobao, he's only five years old, what are they going to do to him?" As a mother, Chen Lan couldn't bear it again and again, and when she thought of what she saw when she knew it, she almost wanted to go crazy.
Qiu Hanchen held her down, turned his head to Fan Xuan and said, "You help me watch the enemy family more, remember what I told you before." ”
Fan Xuan's pupils shrank: "Big brother, you won't be planning to ......"
Qiu Hanchen didn't let him finish, he stretched out his hand and patted Fan Xuan's shoulder: "I treat you as a brother, you should know my heart, many things...... Please! ”
"Big Brother ......"
"Deliver food, when are you going to send it, you won't die inside, don't you come out quickly!"
The guards outside are urging, Fan Xuan will be eye-catching if he doesn't go out, he put on the human skin mask, and said to Qiu Hanchen urgently: "I'll go to find out the news again, maybe it's not what I thought, big brother, don't be impulsive, wait for me to know?" ”
Qiu Hanchen smiled handsomely: "Okay, be careful yourself." ”
Fan Xuan thought he had listened, so he said a few more words, and hurriedly left with the basket.
But who is Chen Lanyi, how can she not understand Qiu Hanchen's determination, she clenched his hand, her eyes were red and swollen: "Brother Qiu, what are you going to do?" ”
Qiu Hanchen hugged her into his arms: "We can all wait, and we can survive, but Xiaobao is still young, and he can't wait." ”
Chen Lan bit his shoulder one by one and bit him hard, so that he could not withstand the pain in his heart for one ten-thousandth, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she didn't know how to choose.
"It's okay," he patted his wife's back with his bloodied hand comfortingly, letting her bite, "Under the Huangquan Road, I will wait for you, in this life, I didn't protect you, if there is a next life, no matter how far away, I will arrive in time, and I will not let you suffer so much." ”
As soon as Chen Lan closed her eyes, the tip of her nose was filled with the smell of blood mixed with Qiu Hanchen himself, which she would never forget, and then, she felt Qiu Hanchen's energy transmitted into her body little by little.
I also closed my eyes, and the virtual tears were synchronized with Chen Lan, and I whispered in my heart: You did it, no matter where I am, no matter how much danger I encounter, the fire of the Meng family, the cheongsam skin of the Gu family, and the quagmire of the giant grass in the mountain of corpses...... At that time, we were not together, you can rely on instinct, always arrive at the most important moment, protect me, take care of me, love me and spoil me!
Qiu Hanchen groped around on his body, and found a piece of white jade that was so white and transparent that he tied a red thread, and he hung it around Chen Lanyi's neck.
"This is what I found in a cold pool, and I wouldn't do anything else, so I made such a piece of jade, and when I saw it, I thought, it must belong to you...... In the future, it will be the heirloom of our son, let him give it to him...... Daughter-in-law ......"
After he finished speaking intermittently, his body began to dissipate, and little by little it emptied in Chen Lan's arms, leaving only a wisp of soul like the last spark of hope, that wisp of soul was very weak, and it could dissipate at any time, and was carefully picked up by Chen Lan's trembling hands.
In order to prevent those people from making a fuss about their bodies, Qiu Hanchen was so ruthless that he didn't even leave his own bones.
Holding that soul in his hands, Chen Lan was so painful that he broke his breath several times, if he didn't still think about Xiaobao and waiting for her to save her, she wouldn't be able to hold on at all.
Qiu Hanchen's last spell worked, Chen Lanyi's body became transparent little by little, and finally disappeared in this hole.
……
When Chen Lan appeared repeatedly, he was at the head of the Qiu family, and the guards of the Qiu family came and went, but no one saw the wife of the former head of the Qiu family standing in the middle of the road stupidly.
Qiu Hanchen used his last strength to transfer her to the Qiu family, and all the power of her soul turned into a guard, close to her, at least for two days, everyone could not see Chen Lanyi.
Chen Lan stood in place for a while, I was powerless to comfort her, even I didn't feel much better than her at this time, heart to heart, I also seemed to have experienced the pain of losing a dead person, I seemed to have stopped all the blood all over my body, and the whole body of consciousness simulation was soft and wanted to lie down, it was best not to get up again.
On the contrary, Chen Lan cheered up one step ahead of me, she took a breath, and then slowly exhaled, pressing all the sadness and pain in her heart, and began to act.
She is familiar with the Qiu family, after all, this was her territory, she successfully found a few former subordinates who failed to escape, Qiu Hanchen, and rescued them from the Qiu family, maybe they were not the focus of the old lady's family, so the guards were not so strict, so Chen Lan was rescued so smoothly.
Then, she learned Xiaobao's current information from the mouths of these old departments.
A bamboo forest is planted outside the backyard of the Qiu family's mansion, and there are many big families in Qingcheng who will imitate the Qiu family to plant bamboo forests, and the Wang family's forest is, and the Qiu family's bamboo forest is a forbidden land.
Speaking of the forbidden land, it is actually the ancestral land of the Qiu family, which enshrines the tablet of the ancestors of the Qiu family, and there is an ancient array in it.
However, the enemy family has changed to a new owner, but wants to rebuild the ancestral land? I don't know what Ann is thinking.
What is infuriating is that workers are indispensable for reconstruction, and Qiu Chengan actually asked Qiu Xiaobao, who was only five years old, to join the ranks of workers on the grounds that as a child of the Qiu family, he should do his best for his ancestral land.
A child who has just learned to enter the body and is not much better than an ordinary five-year-old child wants to be a worker, this is ...... How ruthless this heart should be!
As soon as Chen Lan successfully avoided the traps of the organs in the bamboo forest, in just a few days, even if he rebuilt, he would not be able to touch these mechanisms, Chen Lan was the main mother, and he was very familiar with the mechanisms here.
