When Lin Lubai saw Nalan, it was a crisp autumn day.

The maple leaves were like fire, the branches were clear, and the occasional gust of wind blew by, with a slight refreshing coolness, through the man's slightly thin clothes, and then curled and curled his long hair on the sideburns, and played non-stop.

He sat on the edge of the lotus pond, holding a book in his hand, and did not know what it was about, but he saw a pair of thin lips, sometimes pursed, sometimes whispered, and those unfamiliar words flowed out of his white jade teeth, which were so beautiful.

At that time, it was when Lin Lubai first entered the plum service.

Most of the brothers in Mei Shili are men.

Lin Lubai is a woman, looking out of place.

At the beginning, Gu Li didn't assign her any tasks, but just asked some experienced people to take her to familiarize herself and look around.

When she's alone, she likes to wander around.

Nalan rarely came to Mei Shi, and even many people in Mei Shi didn't know him very well, the coroner who became famous as a young man.

"Nalan, what do you see I brought you?" Suddenly, a voice that sounded low but not dull came from a distance, and immediately followed by Lin Lubai, he saw Gu Li, who was dressed in black, rushing over from the other side of the wall.

He was extremely fast, and he was still clutching something in his arms.

Running to Nalan and giving things away like a treasure, she had never seen such an expectant and excited look on Gu Li's face.

When Gu Li faced the Mei brothers, he was always cold, his eyes were like eagle's eyes, sharp and sharp, if any of his brothers made a mistake, he would be ruthless.

"What?" Nalan spoke slowly, with a shallow smile on his face.

When he raised his lips, Lin Lubai only felt that the grass grew and the warbler flew suddenly, and she could even hear the sound of the buds being pulled out, crisp and fresh, with a faint earthy smell.

"Guess." Gu Li's voice was raised, and his eyebrows were fluttering.

"I guess it'......" Nalan deliberately dragged out the tone for a long time, and then smiled lightly: "Verification Record." ”

Gu Li's face suddenly turned cold, and he threw the things in his arms a little angrily, Nalan took it lightly and said, "Where did you get such a good thing?" ”

"Such a good thing, so how did you know I had it?" Gu Li asked rhetorically.

Nalan put his hand to his mouth and whispered, "Zhang Tong told me." ”

"I knew it!"

"Hahahaha......" Nalan looked up to the sky and laughed, but hugged the hard-won treasure tightly.

For a long time after that, Lin Lubai would secretly come here to see Nalan, sometimes he happened to see him, sometimes he didn't come, Lin Lubai waited, often waiting for a whole day.

I thought they would always keep the status quo, but Nalan was smart.

He found her.

He beckoned to her, who was standing in the shadows.

Lin Lubai hesitated, and finally exposed himself to the sun.

"You're Lubai, aren't you?"

She was stunned, no one had ever called her like this, so kind, like a friend who had known each other for a long, long time.

"I heard you came out of the ghost market?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Nalan continued to ask.

He seemed to be very clear about her situation.

"It's not easy for a daughter's family to work hard in a ghost market, right?"

Before the words fell, Lin Lubai only felt that he was about to cry.

The ghost market is a kind of place, there has always been in and out, she is sold to the ghost market, in the ghost market, it is counted as an item, not a person.

After leaving there for a long time, Lin Lubai still did not have the consciousness of being a person, she still felt that she was an object that could be bought and sold.

An item that doesn't hurt, doesn't cry, doesn't laugh.

But suddenly someone told her that it was not easy for her.

"In the future, when you're fine, you can come to me, it doesn't matter if you don't like to talk, I'll read to you, don't hide there secretly in the future." Nalan pointed to the stone bench in the pavilion and said, "Sit down, what do you like to eat?" I'll ask someone to bring some pastries in a moment. ”

Lin Lubai shook his head, but sat down very obediently.

They didn't talk much that day, but Nalan read a few cases to her, always smiling on his face.

"I'm boring, aren't I?" Nalan asked her with a smile.

Lin Lubai still shook his head.

"After reading the case to you for so many days, you haven't said a word, if Gu Li hadn't told me that you could speak, I would have thought you were dumb."

"No, I ...... I just ......" Lin Lubai was anxious, thinking that Nalan was angry, so she hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, but she didn't know how to explain her embarrassment and shyness for a while.

Nalan smiled and handed over the half-peeled orange in his hand: "I'll tease you." ”

I don't know when it started, no matter where Lin Lubai went, there was a shadow of a person in his mind, he was always muddy before, and every day was a day, and he never had a time to really live.

Now, she wants to live.

But she forgot that she couldn't live for herself in the first place.

"I let you enter the plum service, not for you to fall in love!" As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of a loud whip slapping through the skin, carrying flesh and blood, and falling at the feet of the man.

"Do you see if you've ever accomplished a decent task in your days? You can't do anything, what's the use of what I want from you? Why don't you be thrown back into the ghost city! ”

The man was furious and roared loudly, the whip in his hand already black from her blood.

From beginning to end, she fell to her knees and did not say a word.

Gu Li asked about her injury, and she said that she accidentally fell while practicing, and she didn't pay attention to it when she went out on a mission, and Gu Li was suspicious.

Until one day, there was a newcomer in the plum waiter.

She's a dead chess.

At that moment, she was happy, she could finally come out of the darkness a little, and she could get a little closer to him.

But good flowers don't stay often, and good times don't last long.

The man named Chen Jinzhi ruined the dream she hadn't had time to finish.

The white knife went in, the red knife came out, Lin Lubai only felt that the blood in her whole body was flowing backwards, all the way back to the top of her head from the soles of her feet, there was an indescribable emotion that rushed wildly in her body, and the red in her sight became all little by little, dyeing her whole world red, and the smell of blood filled her nasal cavity.

She also heard the man pull Chen Jinzhi's shirt tightly, use his last strength, and say, "Hurry up." ”

He knew, he knew everything, even what she was doing, otherwise how could he wear Li Hongzhi's clothes and appear in this place where he shouldn't have appeared?

Chen Jinzhi ran away, she took the knife and stayed.

When Gu Li arrived, the person had already choked his breath, it was cold, and the blood stained his robe in a mess, Lin Lubai knelt on the ground, hugged him, and couldn't cry.

"I'll give you one last chance, if it's done, I'll let you go, and if you don't do it well, you will go back to the ghost city with your head, and you will be dark for the rest of your life."

"What chance?"

"Kill Li Hongzhi, I don't need you to do it, the person who will do it is ready, you just need to find out where and when Li Hongzhi often goes, and that's it."

"Okay."

The rules in the ghost market, bought by the master's family, have to obey the master's orders.

The news of Nalan's death was suppressed.

Even his funeral was carried out secretly, Lin Lubai couldn't go to see him for the last time, and she was locked up in a dungeon.

Gu Li didn't torture her, they found out Chen Jinzhi's details, and naturally found out her.

"Nalan has never been sorry for you, especially you."

She couldn't see Gu Li so happy anymore, and the entire Mei servant, with the death of Nalan, was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds, which was so depressed that it was suffocating.

She sought death, cut her wrists, and tried everything she could.

In the end, he was tied to a chair by Gu Li.

"What are you going to do if you keep me here?"

"And what can you do if you seek death?" Gu Li sneered at each other, he looked at her, his eyes were full of hatred, but he still couldn't do it to kill her, and finally he said, "The prince wants to see you." ”

During the time that Lin Lubai was in the dungeon, she didn't know anything about what happened outside, and she didn't even know that someone had completely betrayed Mei Shi for her.

Zhang Zhen is Zhang Tong's younger brother.

Because of Zhang Tong's relationship, Zhang Zhen barely had a place in Mei Shi, and Gu Li rarely assigned tasks to him, and more often, he practiced with everyone in Mei Shi.

When Lin Lubai first entered the Mei Servant, Zhang Zhen had already paid attention to her.

From that time on, Lin Lubai looked at Nalan and Zhang Zhen looked at Lin Lubai.

When Gu Li noticed that something was wrong with Lin Lubai, Zhang Zhen already knew where Lin Lubai came from, and he watched all her every move.

"I'll get you out." Zhang Zhen stood outside the dungeon and looked at Lin Lubai who was tied to a chair.

"You go, I'm not going out." Lin Lu didn't raise his head: "There's no need to be a sinner for me." ”

"I'm not afraid."

Lin Lubai finally raised her head, she looked at Zhang Zhen outside, as if she saw herself.

"Let's go, I'm a person who lives in darkness, and whoever I touch will be pulled into hell." After Lin Lubai finished speaking, he lowered his head again.

She was ready to live alone here for the rest of her life.

But Zhang Zhen disagreed.

He left Mei Shi, no one could find him, and when they met again, they were in Fan County.

One of them was on the guillotine and one was under the guillotine.

It couldn't be saved before, and it still can't be saved now.

There is no fate, that's probably the case.

"For you, Zhang Zhen betrayed Mei Shi and threw himself into Wu Zhidun's command." Gu Li said expressionlessly.

Lin Lubai raised her head, and in the dark, she saw Gu Li crying.

"What do you want me to do now?"

"Save someone's life."

"Who?"

"Red beans."

Lin Lubai frowned slightly, she had never heard of this person's name, but she said, "Okay." ”
