"This should be it..."

After leaving the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, Wei Ming came to a remote courtyard not far from the Valley of Forgotten Worries, and this was the place where Shen Lan had lived in seclusion in the past.

It is said to be a seclusion, but in fact, whether it is the Valley of Forgotten Sorrow or the Valley of Freedom, people all know about this place, but because Shen Lan has a somewhat eccentric temperament and does not like to deal with people, they all pretend not to know, let alone come to disturb.

"Lan'er..."

Looking at the misty courtyard in front of me, which looks very dim even during the day, I can't help but recall my childhood.

Master Shen, Aunt Bai, and... Young Shen Lan.

Although the time spent together is not very long, it is only three years, but Shen Yu and Bai Si are undoubtedly the most important enlightened teachers in Weiming's childhood, and Shen Lan is also the most important playmate in Weiming's childhood.

Thinking of Shen Yu and Bai Si, Weiming's face couldn't help but show a touch of sadness.

Since Shen Lan has lived in seclusion near the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, it must be that Shen Yu and his wife are probably more than lucky, otherwise with their love for Shen Lan, they will not leave her in the Valley of Forgotten Worries.

"Sure enough... Even if you know most things, you can't change all misfortunes..."

As soon as he thought of Shen Yu and Bai Si, Wei Ming's heart couldn't help but feel a little powerless and sad.

He didn't regret that he didn't continue to keep Shen Yu's family back then, because he was very clear about Shen Yu's situation at that time, because he had a secret book, not only the Poison Dragon Sect, but as long as there were masters of poison in the rivers and lakes, they all coveted it, including the killer of Providence City-Poison, and the unknown uncle Xuan Mingzi who had already deviated.

In this case, if you continue to stay in the village where you have lived since childhood, you will not only be threatened, but also the people in the village will be affected.

At that time, he was young and weak, and in the face of these possible disasters, he was powerless to prevent them, and he did not dare to gamble.

"Hey~"

With a long sigh leisurely, Wei Ming shook his head, put aside these past events for the time being, and continued to walk towards the courtyard.

Although Shen Lan and his wife are no longer there, Shen Lan is still there, whether it is out of childhood friendship or to repay Master Shen's kindness, she should take good care of Shen Lan, although with her character, she may not be able to appreciate it.

"Anyone?" Standing in front of the hut door, Mi Ming knocked on the door and shouted, "Lan... Miss Shen, are you home?"

Thinking that the two had not gotten along for many years, it was inevitable that they would call the nickname directly, so they immediately changed their words to call the girl, but after calling twice, no one responded.

"Not at home?"

glanced at the lock on the door, it was a little strange, and I thought to myself that with Shen Lan's style of being a housemaid, where would she go in broad daylight? Even if you go out to catch poison, you have to go out in the evening, right?

I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I simply didn't want to, and I was not in a hurry to know it, so I planned to wait in front of the door.

However, standing in the courtyard, looking at the dark purple miasma that permeated the surroundings, Wei Ming couldn't help but say a little bit in his heart: This fog looks weird, with Lan'er's poisonous methods, I'm afraid that it is not highly poisonous, it is better to be cautious, eat a poison-avoiding pill!

After thinking about it, Wei Ming took out a poison-avoiding pill from his arms and ate it.

After all, it is walking the rivers and lakes, although it is not far from home, but these elixirs for healing injuries and detoxification, Wei Ming has always been on his body, which is also Wei Ming's consistent habit before entering Xiaoyao Valley.

Waiting is somewhat difficult, and when I am bored, I can't help but think of the scene when I met Shen Lan some time ago.

In fact, a few days ago, Wei Ming accompanied Shen Xiangyun out to collect medicine, and happened to meet Shen Lan who was sneakily hiding behind a tree, I don't know if he was catching any poison, Wei Ming still felt a little familiar at first glance, and he already recognized her at the second glance, and subconsciously wanted to say hello.

"Eh~ You're not..."

Before he could say half a sentence, Shen Lan noticed the movement, just glanced back, and immediately went into the jungle to disappear

Lost.

Then Shen Xiangyun followed, and when he saw that he was looking at one place blankly, he asked him what he was looking at, but he had some doubts in his heart at the time, so he didn't tell the truth, only said that he seemed to see a figure, maybe he was wrong.

"Anyway..."

After pondering for a long time, Wei Ming suddenly came back to his senses, looked around and muttered, "Why hasn't Lan'er come back yet? Where can she go in broad daylight?"

As soon as the words fell, he felt a gust of wind blowing.

Not to mention, although it is now close to noon and it is the beginning of summer, there is no sunlight in Shen Lan's courtyard, and it even looks a little gloomy and cold.

That is to say, it is not clear that there is internal strength to protect the body, plus I have just eaten the poison avoidance pill, if I change to an ordinary person who does not know martial arts, let alone live here, I may get seriously ill if I stay for a long time, and I will even have to worry about my life.

"Forget it, let's find a way to go into the house and wait! If Lan'er doesn't come back before the evening, I'll come back to her next time."

As he spoke, he looked around the wooden house, found a small window, and after carefully checking to make sure that there was no poison trap or anything like that, he turned over and got into it directly.

"Whew~ It's really much more comfortable."

While talking to himself, he observed the furnishings in the house.

I don't know if it's because of the family, the style of Shen Lan's home is somewhat similar to the medicine house of the divine doctor's house, if you want to say the difference, that is, the medicine in the divine doctor's house is all kinds of herbs, while Shen Lan's home is mostly poisonous, and the few non-toxic or slightly poisonous things are also taken from the poison, such as poisonous snake gall bladder, toad clothes and the like.

In addition, there is a charcoal stove in the atrium, and a kettle full of water hangs from the stove, which this miracle doctor does not have.

"Whew~ just sit here and wait!"

After entering the room, he didn't have any restraints, and after baking the cold air on his body by the stove, he pulled out a small bench and sat down.

Just waiting, unclear while calculating the time, in this era when the clock is not popular, it is not possible not to develop the habit of remembering time.

After waiting for about half an hour, when the water in the teapot next to him was about to be drunk by the unknown, there was finally a slight movement at the door.

"Lan'er is back?"

Wei Ming couldn't help but stand up and was about to go out, but as soon as he stepped out, he immediately took it back, he couldn't help but think that he and Shen Lan hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he broke into each other's house as soon as they met, which was somewhat abrupt, and he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he hadn't seen him for a long time, and what to say when he met again, Wei Ming didn't think about it at all.

even took a step back and thought about what if it wasn't Shen Lan who came, but a passer-by who broke in by mistake, or a person in the rivers and lakes with bad intentions.

Thinking about it, the unknown inevitably became more and more hesitant, but the pace outside the door was not slowed down by the unclear hesitation, but a little faster.

In the blink of an eye, I heard the sound of someone outside the door unlocking the lock with a key, but now it was confirmed, it must be Shen Lan.

At this time, I didn't know and didn't hesitate, and I was about to break the jar as soon as I opened the door to say hello, when I suddenly felt a gust of fishy wind coming, and subconsciously dodged sideways, and then looked at it, it was actually a poisonous snake about two feet long.

In this case, Wei Ming reacted quickly, and immediately looked at the main entrance after dodging, and shouted, "Wait a minute, Lan'er..."

"It's you!!"

Without waiting for Wei Ming to finish speaking, the person who came recognized Wei Ming first, "... The East is unknown!?"
