Madame Demon has lost her memory

At this moment, everything that happened at Huaishan Gate has nothing to do with Qin Lanzhi.Xie Yulan's slow voice brought him back to that tragic memory.

And one of the parties involved in this disaster selectively forgot his identity, and expressed the deepest scar in his heart in a regretful tone.

"I walked through the backyard all the way, passed the woodshed, and saw a few familiar maids. If I remember correctly, they were responsible for taking care of the guest surnamed Jiang in the courtyard." Xie Yulan said slowly, "They were twisted. There are fingerprints and choke marks on the neck, and the eyes were not closed until he died, so he died with regret."

It was drizzling, and the whole sky was gray.

The young Xie Yulan pushed open the half-hidden firewood door, seeing a bloody mess.The whole room was full of dead bodies, some had their throats cut by a sword, and some had their necks twisted; he squatted down with difficulty, raised a face covered in blood, and recognized that it was the housekeeper.

They seemed to be forced all the way to the firewood room, and then killed collectively. Some of them were unwilling to keep crawling forward. The back of their hands was trampled into a puddle of flesh, their finger bones were broken, and their shape was horrific.

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of torture and despair they suffered before they died.

Up to this moment, Xie Yulan's blank mind began to turn belatedly in astonishment—how could this be?With father and elder brother and second brother at home, how could someone allow such a murder?

Where is the father?Where is mother?

He almost stumbled and rushed out the door, and even fell on the threshold, his clothes were stained with dark blood, he propped his hands in the sticky pool of blood, smelling a strong fishy smell from his nose, he tilted his head at the same time. The maidservant, who was dying to die, made eye contact.

He pressed a scream into his throat, his eyes were hot, and he got up and ran out in a panic.Countless corpses were dumped in ponds, gardens, and gazebos along the way.

The emerald green pond was dyed blood red, and the mother's favorite golden-tailed koi turned white and floated motionless next to the corpse, with its big eyes open, unwilling to die.

The entire Xie family was extremely quiet, except for the heavy death, there was no living person in sight.

He stumbled into the dining room and saw his father and mother from a distance.They fell by the dining table, motionless. The two elder brothers were wounded and held swords in their hands. They fell under the stone steps, and their bodies were already stained red with blood.

The blood seeped into the crevices of the stones and into the soil, bringing out a rancid smell that made one's stomach churn.Before Xie Yulan got close, she knelt down and vomited, trembling all over.

He spit out all the bile in front of his eldest brother's body, his mouth was full of bitterness, but it was not as good as the bitterness and pain in his heart.

He picked up his elder brother's body, and the other party had already passed out of breath, his lips turned an unnatural purple color, indicating that he had been poisoned.

Looking at the corpses of the second brother, father, and mother, they are all like this.The dishes on the table were overturned, the jug was shattered, and the aroma of the wine was mixed with the aroma of vegetables and blood, and turned into a magical smell, which went straight to the soul of the world.After that, Xie Yulan never forgot that weird, indescribable smell.

In order to suppress the lingering taste in his nasal cavity and head, he began to eat sour food.After going to Jutai Town, the tangerine peel and shredded orange candy that are abundant there are just what he likes, so he always carries it in his pocket, and takes it out to hold it in his mouth from time to time.

It seems that only the strong and stimulating sourness can make him wake up, realize that the past is over, he is not still the one who was imprisoned in the dining room of Xie's family, surrounded by the corpses of his relatives but helpless and could only vomit and cry young people.

That useless young man.

"Hiss." Xie Yulan's voice paused, her wrist hurt from being held by Qin Lanzhi, and she stared dissatisfiedly, "You hurt me."

"...Do you like to eat sour because of this?" Qin Lan later realized that he didn't understand his wife at all. He was angry and distressed, and he didn't let go of his wife's hand, asking for proof, "So you Don't like sour? You didn't like it until then? Why didn't you say so?"

"None of the hundreds of members of the Xie family survived." Xie Yulan couldn't help but frowned and said, "The smell that day was too strong, and the yin energy was too strong. Eating sour can dissolve it. I used to like to eat..."

Xie Yulan paused for a moment, as if he hadn't remembered what he liked to eat before, and said casually: "How can a cultivator be greedy for his tongue?"

Qin Lan hesitated to speak, and asked after a long time, "Then how did you find out that the murderer was the man surnamed Jiang?"

"I saw it." Xie Yulan replied straightforwardly.

Qin Lanzhi never expected to get such an answer, he was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously let go of his hand: "What did you say?"

"I checked the wounds on Master Xie's family, Mrs. Xie and others, and it was confirmed that it was a kind of poison from the Western Regions. Just a little bit can kill people suddenly. And that kind of poison finally appeared in Mrs. Xie's best tremella soup. inside."

Xie Yulan shook her head: "Other meals are taken care of by the cook and others, so it's not easy to prepare them, except for tremella soup. Because Mrs. Xie always cooks it herself, the rest of the people will not come close, so naturally they are negligent. The murderer's best chance. Only acquaintances who know Xie's family can do it if they know this and successfully poison them."

Xie Yulan rubbed her painful wrist: "Although there was a big fire at that time, I still went through Xie's house one by one, and I was sure that there was no one missing, except Mr. Jiang from the guest house."

"The fire was first ignited in the guest house, and almost all the evidence was burned away, but since an acquaintance committed the crime, the other party will definitely confirm that the Xie family has no survivors or witnesses." Xie Yulan paused for a long time when she said this, as if There are two strands of consciousness in his mind struggling to resist, one side does not allow him to speak out, but the other side is from the perspective of a bystander, and does not think what will happen if he speaks out.

After a pause of silence, Xie Yulan said: "I had an intuition at the time, went around to the back of the guest house, and saw Mr. Jiang in the fire. But it was only for a moment, like a dizzy illusion, and he disappeared."

Xie Yulan said: "At that time, I was not good at cultivation, and I couldn't catch such a profound thing, so I let him go. I knew that he was a monster in human skin. He usually pretended to be gentle and humble in Xie's house, and his relationship with the servants was not good. Very good - thinking about it now, I'm afraid it was for the convenience of poisoning. I guessed it was him, but there was no evidence, and later someone proved that he was not in the mansion that day, so I couldn't do anything to him."

However, a few words of understatement taught Qin Lanzhi to spell out the original appearance of what happened back then.

In order to help Xie Yulan track down the murderer, he naturally checked a lot of things back then. Although there were not so many details, the murderer also restored a lot of past events after he was executed. Now combined with Xie Yulan's confusing rhetoric, he finally understands that Xie Yulan's heart is secretive What exactly is the taboo——

The young master who was pampered and pampered always thought that his father and two elder brothers would support him when the sky fell, but who would have thought that he escaped the catastrophe by being playful for a while, but since then he has been alone and lost all support.

He vaguely saw a familiar figure in the fire, but because of the successive blows, he couldn't believe it or admit it.He didn't even have the courage to catch up, and he was fighting with each other, hiding in the choking black smoke, afraid that he would also end up in an unsatisfactory end.

He had no evidence, so he couldn't help the other party, and he was not sure that he really saw the other party.He couldn't sleep, lost his mind, and couldn't figure out why his elder brother from a distant relative had become a suspect with a hideous appearance.

His father is still his mother's senior brother, the relationship between the two families is not bad, why is this so?

From then on, the smell in his nose and head never went away, like the questioning and disappointment of hundreds of members of Xie's family.He hated himself for being helpless, for being so dependent on his family that he hadn't been able to catch the murderer himself in the middle of the fire.

He hated him even more for being cowardly and cowardly at the time.

Qin Lanzhi couldn't figure out why Xie Yulan, who lost her memory, kept the past of Xie's family firmly in her mind. The murderer had already been executed, but he arranged the past of Xie's family time and time again in an ever-changing role.The heart knot that Du Yijie mentioned that outsiders don't know may come from this.

It came from his hatred for himself, because he saw the murderer at that time, but he didn't dare to admit it, and he didn't dare to catch up.He doesn't deserve to thank his family.

Qin Lan's heart was about to break. He stroked Xie Yulan's ignorant face, and the other party looked at him innocently, as if he didn't know what happened, and in the shadow behind him, there was a sense of guilt that no one had seen. And the self-blame that can't be eliminated for several years.

What is he thinking every time he eats orange candy?

What kind of smells did he smell that didn't exist?

Every time I fall into a dream, do I have to face the questioning and blame of the hundreds of members of the Xie family?

And these, Qin Lanzhi knew nothing about it.

The moment he understood, Qin Lanzhi was almost overwhelmed by self-blame.

"We'll catch him." Qin Lanzhi couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged Xie Yulan into his arms with such strength that he seemed to want to rub people into his flesh and blood, and never separate himself again, "No matter how many layers of human skin he wears, escape We'll catch him wherever we go. I'm with you."

Xie Yulan was stunned for a moment: "That's not necessary..."

"I stopped you today." Qin Lanzhi said, "If he runs away, I will take responsibility. When you catch him and avenge the Xie family, the restless souls of the Xie family will thank you."

Xie Yulan was silent for a while. For some reason, he felt that this omnipotent man was a little fragile at this moment. The tall body surrounding him trembled slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse, as if he was forcibly enduring something.

Such a contrast made Xie Yulan's heart soften for a moment, and she still felt a little distressed for unknown reasons.

He patted the man's back hesitantly, but was hugged even tighter by the other party. In desperation, he comforted him: "Okay...Okay, I allow you to be with me. I didn't see it, but you are an important person." A man of great affection."

Qin Lanzhi buried her head in Xie Yulan's neck and took a deep sniff, then slid her fingers over the man's messy hair, and said softly, "Maybe it's because of fate, as soon as I saw you, I knew you were the most important thing in my life." People. As long as it is related to you, no matter what, I am willing to do it."

Xie Yulan didn't expect to hear an affectionate confession suddenly, and was a little dazed for a moment. He was held stiffly in the man's arms, until he felt the man's breath lingering ambiguously around his neck, his face turned red and he slammed hide away.

"wait……"

"Sir, if you cultivate the Tao, do you want to lose love and desire?"

"...Not at all."

Xie Yulan's eyes were full of bewilderment, she didn't know how things turned out like this.Qin Lanzhi held up his face with pity, with a few strands of black hair hooked between her fingers, lining Xie Yulan's face, making it even more tender and touching.

The natural crimson color at the end of his eyes became a little redder due to his panic, and there were traces of crying at the end of his eyes. The blush went all the way down, and his cheeks, earlobes, and neck all turned red.

Qin Lan's chest was pounding, as nervous as when he kissed Xie Yulan for the first time.He pinched the opponent's chin, wrapped his hand around the back of the opponent's head to hold it down, rubbed his thumb lightly on the neck of the opponent, and then kissed him.

Xie Yulan's eyelashes trembled, and she only had time to let out a whimper before being overwhelmed by the familiar breath.
