"Okay, okay... If you say you're not Ke Yulan, then you can see for yourself! See if you're really Ke Yulan!" A Gui let go of the hand that was pinching my neck, and gripped my front with his back , dragged me into Litai City.

She took me to a dilapidated yard. The yard was small, most of the walls collapsed, the beams and columns were rotten, and several tile-roofed houses were also buried in sand. There was only a large black stone in front of the door, which was as shiny as glazed.

Ah Gui stood at the door for a long time, but did not go in for a long time.There are still five holes on my chest left by ghost. The normal wounds will heal in just a moment. These five wounds are very strange. After half an hour, the blood is still bleeding, and the blood soaks most of my clothes. Move it like a knife.My vision gradually began to blur, and I supported Ah Gui's arm, trying to prevent myself from passing out.

"This used to be my home." Ah Gui stroked the big stone at the door and sighed: "I have traveled to every corner of this city, but I dare not come here, Yu Lan, do you know how long I have been waiting in this city? "Gui asked me with a light smile, her complexion returned to normal, she looked at my bleeding wound, as if she was watching something interesting.

My legs were already exhausted, so I leaned against her weakly and said, "Two... 200 years..." When I opened my mouth, my chest vibrated, and five wounds were pulled, like being bitten by a wild beast. Now, the pain is probably so severe that I can't even faint.

"In the past, people came into this city. I only treated them as fish and meat delivered to my door. I ate their souls and threw them out of the city. But Yu Lan, you are different after all." A ghost dipped a little blood on my body with his fingertips and wiped it off. On that shiny black stone, "200 years, huh, 200 years..."

An ordinary stone glows the moment it is stained with donated blood, a faint soft gleam, and the scope continues to expand, enclosing the entire house, including Ah Gui and me.

A ghost's hand was soft like a catkin, and he pressed it against my chest. Something cold hovered over my heart. The pain from the wound gradually weakened, and finally disappeared without a trace.I touched my chest in astonishment, stained with fresh blood from my hands, the five holes had healed, not even a scar remained.

"You have held me for 200 years. Wouldn't it be a pity to die like this?" She held my bloody hand, smiling with crooked eyes, "Yu Lan, 200 years, you're finally back."

For some reason, my eyes were sore, I shook my head and took a few steps back, "I won't go in." I was timid, I didn't dare to go in, and I didn't dare to spy on Agui's pain.

Still being dragged in by A Gui, not counting in, just standing at the door.

"Father, mother, I brought guests back!" A girl in light yellow clothes pushed the door in, followed by another woman, half-new white clothes, the hem of the clothes was stained with wind and sand, and said embarrassingly: "A Xue , it is out of etiquette to go to see your father Lingtang like this."

The woman called A Xue turned around with her hands behind her back, tilted her head and laughed mockingly: "What a respectable person, Yu Lan, you're so funny when you talk."

They only cared about doing their own thing, and turned a blind eye to me and Ah Gui who were right in front of us.

Ashe turned around, I gasped, this was clearly Ah Gui's face!

A Gui whispered in my ear: "Yu Lan, do I look good 200 years ago?"

I stared intently at the back of the head of the woman named "Yu Lan", hoping that she would turn around quickly, but I was afraid to see her true face.That's not me, absolutely not.

Ghost and I were still standing in front of the door, but the two women had already walked to the door. Before entering the room, the woman in white suddenly turned around.

I am so familiar with her face that I can always see her when I wash and wash in front of the bronze mirror every day.

"This is an illusion." I said firmly, the ghost is a ghost, and it is easy to trap me by making an illusion with magic.

"It's a memory."

Ghost no longer entangled with me, the scene in the yard changed, and she and I were standing in the same room.

The women's boudoir was fragrant and elegant, and the dressing table was full of rouge, gouache, pearl hairpins and jewelry. Ke Yulan came out from behind the screen and changed into a clean light pink dress. Axue's eyes lit up.

Ah Gui followed her, and the two identical voices merged together, "Yu Lan, you look so good in my clothes."

One cheerful, one cold.

I turned my head to look at Ghost, and she looked at me too, and said with a shallow smile, "Yu Lan, look how clearly I remember."

A Xue and Ke Yulan disappeared together with the furnishings in the room, the warm light dissipated, and A Gui and I were still standing in the night, by the door of that courtyard.

A gust of wind blew by, and the precarious small courtyard collapsed into a pile of ruins. The broken bricks and tiles were quickly weathered into gravel, raising a cloud of dust, and the huge courtyard was instantly dissipated in the wind.

A Gui stretched out his hand to grab a handful of sand in the air, and then spread his five fingers, letting the sand leak out from between his fingers.

A certain corner of my memory was filled, but a certain part of my heart flowed away with the sand in A Gui's hand.

That's right, I'm Bai Anxun, and I'm also Ke Yulan.

"I took that dress away quietly later, but unfortunately I never had the chance to wear it again." I wanted to hug Ah Gui, raised my hand and put it down again, mocking myself: "It's only been 200 years for me, so it's been [-] years gone."

Ah Gui said: "You finally remembered."

Her name is not Agui, her real name is Li Xue, her parents are merchants, and they are wealthy households in Litai City. When I left, Agui said that she would wait for me for 200 years.

I thought she would live a good life, but it turned out that she died long ago, in the same year as me.

"Axue, when I come back, I will definitely take you with me." At the gate of the city, Ke Yulan hugged Li Xue and promised, holding hands together, holding each other tightly, unable to let go.

Li Xue raised her head and kissed Ke Yulan's lips, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, "Yulan, I'll wait for you."

A Gui is right, I betrayed her, I didn't come back, and I didn't take her with me, I let her be trapped here for 200 years.

Ke Yulan is gone, I want to tell her not to go, you will regret it for the rest of your life... no, not for a lifetime, but for two lifetimes.But this is just memory.

Li Xue stood by the city gate and sang Jiangnan ditty, which I taught her.

"Yulan, teach me to sing, sing the songs of your hometown."

So I taught her to sing. The melodious tunes of many brothers and sisters in the south of the Yangtze River are not as loud and magnificent as the folk songs of Mobei. The lingering love and concubine can also sing open-minded and heroic. I used to laugh at her, and she sang a good song like a war.

A Gui sang along with Li Xue, his voice was no longer as cool as it used to be, it was sad and tragic.

I choked up and said, "Axue, I'm back, Ke Yulan is back."

Ah Gui stopped singing, and Li Xue at the gate of the city disappeared without a trace.

"You are not Ke Yulan, and I am not Li Xue."

"Li Xue is dead, and Ke Yulan is also dead."

"I am a fierce ghost in this city, and my hands are full of grievances."
