After hiring a carriage to come to the eastern suburbs, Ling Lan asked the coachman to wait nearby to find it alone.

According to the introduction of the pawnshop shopkeeper, I know that the old man lives here, but there are also many residents in this area, and several rows of houses are extended, and you can see that there are many people living there.

Fortunately, after knowing the name and asking a few passers-by, he walked a long distance and stopped in front of a relatively secluded courtyard.

It's relatively quiet, at the end of a row of houses, and the fence yard is small and a little crooked, so you can see that it is neglected.

Ling Lan was holding a pot of wine in her left hand and already felt that her arm was sore, so she put it on the ground at this time to rest for a while.

"Little girl, what are you doing here?"

An old and hoarse inquiry suddenly came from behind her, and Ling Lan was startled and quickly turned around, and her eyes were an old man with gray temples.

Silently watching the comer, she suddenly realized something: "Hello, I want to find Grandpa Gu." ”

The old man was obviously surprised, and after a short silence, his expression became subtle: "Oh? What do you ask him for? ”

"The younger generation has something important, I hope Grandpa Gu can solve his doubts." She stared into the other's scrutinizing eyes and didn't dodge.

The two looked at each other for a few breaths, and the old man waved his hand with a smile: "Then you go and find it!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked away with heavy steps.

Seeing this, Ling Lan took two steps and lowered her tone a little: "Grandpa Gu, the junior brought this." ”

Hearing her call the old man's steps paused slightly, worried that the other party would not stop, Ling Lan quickened his pace and came to the other party's side.

That's right, this man is indeed Gooding.

When he saw the jade plaque in her hand, Gu Ding's face changed, and an incredible look appeared in his eyes, and his eyes when he looked at her again obviously became complicated.

After a while, Ling Lan came to the house as she wished, and saw that several rows of bookshelves occupied most of the space, and the overall appearance was a bit messy, clothes and books were stacked in one place, and there was a smell of cats in the room.

Just when I was puzzled, I heard a cat meow, and the big tanuki rushed out, as if he just heard the sound and ran out to see the two of them and walked away with cat steps, but it was extremely lazy.

In front of the small wooden table, Gooding endured his doubts and asked Ling Lan to sit down.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

She had thought about this question on the way here, and she was ready to answer truthfully, and by the way, she could test whether the other party knew about the existence of the second miss of the Ling family.

"Grandpa Gu, the younger generation's surname is Ling Minglan."

Gu Ding was stunned, and his cloudy eyes stared at her for a while before he came back to his senses: "Ling, Ling Lan? ”

Silently observing her reaction, Ling Lan nodded silently.

The old man's hand on the table trembled slightly, his breathing became a little heavier, and his mood fluctuated greatly.

Worried that something would go wrong, Ling Lan thought about it and said in a low voice, "Grandpa Gu, are you okay?" ”

Taking a deep breath and protruding heavily, Gu Ding nodded slightly: "Girl, where are you from?" Why did you come to the old man? ”

The other party's reaction was a little subtle, he was obviously excited before, but now he quickly calmed down, and the question was full of temptation.

Thoughts flashed and she said seriously: "Grandpa Gu, the younger generation lost his memory for some reason, but fortunately he settled in the capital with the help of well-wishers, so he still can't remember where his home is." ”

Gooding's brows furrowed, and doubts flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Ling Lan continued: "The reason why I came here to disturb you is because of this jade plate. ”

At this point, she deliberately paused, pursed her lips and looked like she wanted to say something.

"How did this jade plate get into your hands?" Gooding couldn't help but ask.

"You may not believe it, but it's true, it's all because the younger generation has been having the same dream lately." Ling Lan said softly, looking a little helpless.

"The same dream?" Gooding doesn't know why.

Ling Lan sighed lightly and whispered, "That's right, juniors can always dream of this jade plate recently, and the two lines of handwriting on it can also be seen clearly, and I vaguely feel that this jade plate is very important to juniors."

Later, I vaguely saw the plaque of Xinrong pawnshop in my dream, and the more I thought about it after waking up, the more wrong it became, and after inquiry, I learned that there was really a Xinrong pawnshop in the capital and rushed over.

I never thought that I really saw this jade plate in the pawnshop, and the junior asked the shopkeeper about it, and learned that the owner was you, so I couldn't wait to come over, if I could, the younger generation would like to know the origin of this jade card. ”

Gooding was stunned and felt incredible, but judging from the change in his demeanor, he seemed to believe it.

In fact, Ling Lan didn't want to lie to the other party, but this was already the best reason she could think of...

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Gooding seemed to be caught in his own world, staring down at the ground in silence, and a faint air of sadness lingered around him.

Ling Lan's heart was inexplicably tight, and she only felt very uncomfortable.

I don't know how long it has been, Gu Ding muttered to himself: "You lose your memory, you can't remember the past, it's not necessarily a good thing, people have to look forward to life, don't remember the past to not be afraid of the future, girl, this jade card is related to you, you must put it away carefully." ”

Unexpectedly, the other party said this, Ling Lan was speechless for a while.

Just as he was about to speak, the other party had already stood up: "Girl, this old man stays with this jar of wine, you can go back when the hour is not early!" ”

Knowing that the old man had made up his mind, it was useless to say more, Ling Lan nodded in frustration and got up and walked out.

Gooding naturally knew her thoughts, but he refused to say a word more.

Taking two steps, Ling Lan stopped, took out a drop-shaped jade pendant from her arms, and wore it with a black string, which didn't look outstanding.

"Grandpa Gu, do you know this jade pendant? This object has also appeared in the dreams of younger generations many times. As she spoke, she held the rope and let the jade pendant sway gently in the air.

Gu Ding was surprised, because the shaking couldn't see clearly, he squinted his eyes and concentrated all his attention to see, and raised his hand to grab it, but somehow his eyes became blurry, and his slightly trembling hand was just about to grab the jade pendant but it had stopped, and the picture in front of him was also still!

The hypnosis went very smoothly, Ling Lan knew a lot about the past of the Ling family, and what surprised her was that Ling County Order was not a county order but a dali temple squire before, because of a case that was demoted, so she left the capital and went to Linyang City to be a county order, but that was many years ago, and she was not born yet...

After all, Gu Gu was old, Ling Lan was worried that his body would not be able to stand the questioning, so she hypnotized him to sleep, and when he woke up, he might not notice anything, even if he felt that it was wrong, he would think it was a dream.

After doing all this and sorting out her thoughts, it was already evening when Ling Lan went out, the sun was setting, the sunset was like fire in the sky, she stood in the small courtyard and stared blankly, unconsciously losing her mind.

I don't know how long it has been since there was a familiar aura in the air, and she suddenly came back to her senses only to find that Mo Ziyu had quietly come to her side, she couldn't help frowning, her eyes swept over the man, and she breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was not injured.

"Is there a case? It smells of blood. ”
