Madame Demon has lost her memory

In the dream, Xie Yulan clearly knew who she was, what she was going to do, and even more who Qin Lanzhi was.

It was as if he had finally pushed aside the curtain that was separated by the thick fog, and there was only joy in his heart, which was full of feelings of secret love.This kind of emotion led him through the grayness of countless nightmares, and supported him to the present.

I don't know if it was a dream, or an old memory - in the dream, he wanted to hold Qin Lanzhi's hand, stretched out his fingers and then retracted them, he was not too daring, and he was secretly happy.

The outside world said that Qin Lanzhi was so vicious that he could even eat people, so no one had ever gotten so close to him like him.Even though Qin Lanzhi occasionally showed dislike for him, he was still happy.

He feels special.

He chewed the tangerine peel, and the sour smell rushed into his eyes all the way. He squinted his eyes, and saw the other party stop in the strong sunset, and turned his head slightly to wait for him.

"Are you picking up money while walking?" Qin Lanzhi said displeased, "Walk so slowly?"

"It's good to be able to pick up money." Xie Yulan smiled and put her hands behind her back, "Then I'll buy two more candied haws, one for you and one for me..."

"I don't want to eat that." Qin Lanzhi turned his eyes away, and his eyes fell on the painting boat on the lake in the distance, "I'm going to meet a friend tonight, so you can eat alone. Let Xiao Yueer accompany you."

"Which friend?" Xie Yulan followed his gaze and saw the gorgeous painting boat.It was still dark, and the painting boat was parked on the shore without lights. It looked very lonely, far less lively than at night.

Xie Yulan turned her eyes around the painting boat, and asked tentatively, "Male or female?"

Qin Lanzhi frowned and looked at him: "What's the matter with you?"

Xie Yulan couldn't ask any more questions, she lowered her head and kicked the pebbles under her feet, and muttered as if she had been wronged: "You promised to help me investigate the case, you can't enjoy yourself alone..."

Qin Lanzhi cast a condescending glance, and could see a small hair twirl on the young man's head.

He couldn't hold back, stretched out his hand and rubbed it, and when the other party looked over in surprise, he pretended to be nonchalant and walked away quickly: "I'm just going to investigate the case, you go back to the inn first, and I will notify you if there is any news."

At the end, I added a sentence: "Don't always think about things."

So Xie Yulan became happy again, as if the soles of her feet were stepping on soft clouds, because of the occasional tenderness shown by the man, she couldn't extricate herself from it.

He didn't know if he had made an excuse, because he had been alone for too long in the mood of self-blame and guilt, so that he subconsciously wanted to ask for help, and before he realized it, he would have nowhere to go. Emotions were placed on this seemingly cold-hearted man, who was actually sincere and reliable.

He obviously didn't care about himself, but he still agreed to help him track down the murderer.

Although the outside world has rumored that Wanhe Palace is the culprit—it was the day when the election of the leader of the martial arts was approaching. Changes in the power of the major families.And Xie's family was implicated in the disaster caused by the election, and innocently lost more than a hundred lives. The notorious Wanhe Palace, no matter how you look at it, is suspected of deliberately provoking and disrupting the election.

But Xie Yulan didn't listen to other people's words, but went up to Wanhe Mountain alone.

The reason is that he no longer believes in those so-called relatives and Bai Dao, let alone the leader of the martial arts alliance.In his opinion at the time, Wanhe Palace, which bears a bad reputation but always stays out of it and never explains it, is more credible than this group of people wearing hypocritical masks.

He took a gamble and got it right.

Seeing the back of the man leaving, Xie Yulan's eyes flashed with complicated light. He lowered his eyelashes and looked at his toes, he couldn't make up his mind for a while: should he tell Qin Lanzhi that he actually saw the murderer's silhouette?It's just that he didn't have evidence, and the fire was too big at the time, so he wasn't sure if it was a mistake.

What made him hesitate the most was that he was afraid that Qin Lanzhi would despise him once he said it.

The third young master of the dignified Xie family, after seeing the murderer, did not chase after him, but hid instead.Because of fear and hesitation, he could not even testify against the murderer.He was so useless that he didn't even dare to go to his family's grave to pay homage.If you say it, will Qin Lanzhi despise him even more?Scorn him more?Will he be unwilling to help him find the murderer?

"Master Xie, what are you thinking?" At that time, Xiao Yue'er was still young, only twelve or thirteen years old, and her height was only around Xie Yulan's waist.She combed two round buns, tied a light yellow headband, and wore a light yellow blouse with snow-white rabbit fur on the front of the skirt, which made her cute and cute face.

Seeing that Xie Yulan was in a daze, Xiao Yue'er couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Young master, are you worried about the leader? Just rest assured, no one can bully him!"

Xie Yulan laughed when she heard it. He has lost a lot of weight recently and his chin is pointed, but his tone of voice is still so gentle: "I have no right to worry about him. It's nothing, what does Xiaoyue'er want for dinner? I'll listen to you. "

Xiaoyue'er's ears turned red, and she tugged at her sleeves coyly: "How can I do that? If the leader finds out, he will punish me."

"I'm here." Xie Yulan gently tugged at the hairband on the top of the little girl's head, as if she thought it was fun, and then let go of her slender fingers twice, "Just say it boldly."

After all, Xiaoyue'er was a little young, and she forgot about taking care of others in a few words.She happily chose a restaurant that looked very lively, pointed to the place upstairs and said, "I want to sit by the window, from here I can see the painted boats on the lake. It must be very beautiful when the lights are on at night!"

"Okay." Xie Yulan nodded, and led her to the restaurant, her attitude was not like treating a maid waiting around, but like treating her own little sister, "If there is someone by the window, let's wait first."

"Ok!"

At that time, Lao Liu, Lao Qi and a few hidden guards followed Qin Lanzhi, and the rest of the hidden guards hid in the dark. Xie Yulan was a little embarrassed, and waved to the top of the opposite tree. One of the hidden guards landed silently, Sticking to the trunk of the tree like a shadow, he asked in a low voice, "Master?"

"You guys go to eat too, you don't have to follow me." Xie Yulan said, "Or let's eat together?"

"Your subordinate dare not." The other party kept his head down, with the mask covering most of his face, and said, "Now that the murderer has not been caught, the young master may be in danger at any time, and I dare not take it lightly."

Xie Yulan saw that the other party's attitude was tough, so she couldn't say anything more, so she thought for a while and said, "I'll ask someone to bring you some food later."

The other party hesitated, nodded: "Thank you, young master."

In the past, no one in the Xie family dared to mess with them, and Xie Yulan had never taken so many people out before. Moreover, the people who often went out with him were heirs or young masters from various sects. Other guards are on the side.

Xie Yulan was not used to it, so she nodded at the secret guard and turned around to enter the door of the restaurant. Xiao Er threw a cloth towel and came up to him, and said enthusiastically, "Who are you, sir?"

"Both of you." Xie Yulan looked around and said warmly, "Is there any room upstairs by the window?"

"It's just a coincidence that you came." Xiao Er immediately nodded, "Just left a table, please."

Xiaoyue'er walked ahead, bouncing up the stairs with her skirts in hand, the two of them were really lucky, the empty seat they left had a great view, and they could see the entire lake.

The boat that Qin Lanzhi was going to also happened to fall in Xie Yulan's field of vision.

Xie Yulan was afraid that the two of them would occupy such a large table and cause trouble to the owner, so she gave Xiaoer some more money for drinks and ordered a lot of signature dishes.Xiaoer smiled happily, took the money and went down. After a while, he first served Xie Yulan and two pots of warm wine with snacks.

Xie Yulan was drinking slowly, while Xiaoyue'er was holding the pastry and shaking her legs.Unknowingly, the guests around came and went, the twilight was falling, the long street became more and more lively, there was an endless stream of carriages, and some small bells were tied to the eaves of some carriages. People feel a bit of serenity and melodiousness from the downtown.

The lanterns on the lake lit up one by one, reflecting on the water surface, like a flowing firefly, looking from a distance, there is an illusion of hanging upside down on the Milky Way.

Xie Yulan watched from a distance that the gorgeous painting boat moved and slowly moved downstream along the river, his eyes couldn't help chasing after it, feeling very lost and lonely.

Xiaoyue'er had enough to eat and drink, and she clapped her hands happily when she saw someone setting off fireworks by the lake.

On the other side, a table was set up in the restaurant, and the singers and the performers also became lively. From time to time, someone threw reward money on it. Xiaoyue'er was attracted and turned her head to look.

Seeing that the little girl was enjoying watching, Xie Yulan didn't bother her.He borrowed a three-layer food box from Xiaoer himself, put some meals and pastries in it, took a jug of warm wine, and went downstairs to give to the hidden guards.

He didn't worry about leaving Xiaoyue'er alone. Compared with her peers, the little girl grew up in Wanhe Palace, even if she was a three-legged cat kung fu, it was enough for ordinary people, not to mention there were hidden guards watching around.

Xie Yulan asked the waiter in the store to help take care of the little girls, and went downstairs to the tree with the food box. One of the guards fell down, took the food box and thanked him stiffly.

Xie Yulan suddenly felt that her mood was low, so she simply went for a walk to digest food.He walked all the way to the lake, and the painting boat that Qin Lanzhi went to had disappeared. He stood on the shore in disappointment, and after a while, someone accosted him.

"Brother, do you want to take our cruise ship?" The man said, "There are drinks and plays, it's faster and cheaper than that big boat!"

Xie Yulan turned her head and saw the man pointing at a small pleasure boat, and there were some red silk lanterns symbolically hung around it, which could be regarded as decoration.There were already some people on the boat sitting on the lake at night, chatting and laughing with glasses of wine.

Xie Yulan asked about the price, but it was indeed not expensive. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he lifted his robe and was helped onto the boat by the man.

The ship was shaking slightly, seeing someone coming up again, several guests looked towards the bow of the ship and invited, "Brother, just alone? Do you want to drink together?"

Xie Yulan smiled and waved her hands, and sat alone on the bow of the boat. After a while, the cruise ship left the shore and slowly headed towards the center of the lake.

There was a slight sound on the dark water under the night, and when the bow approached, the quiet sound of water waves could be heard.Teach people to calm down slowly.

Xie Yulan ordered a jug of wine and drank it alone, her thoughts became deep.

He watched the bustle on both sides of the strait, and listened to the chatter and laughter of the people behind him, and felt that these were far away from him for a moment.He saw the black hole in his heart in the bustle, and the black hole was getting bigger and bigger in the bustle, which made him extremely uneasy.

He suddenly wanted to see Qin Lanzhi.

After a while, the cruise ship caught up with the leisurely painting boat.If you get close, you can still hear the clank of the pipa and guqin above.Beside the painting boat, there were beautiful girls greeting the guests on the cruise ship. They were very courageous, and the handkerchiefs in their hands fell on the bow of the boat with the wind, and were carried by the wind, and fell into Xie Yulan's hands.

The girls on the painting boat saw the person clearly, and immediately pushed each other and laughed.

Before Xie Yulan could react, she saw a familiar figure passing by on the second floor of the painting boat.

It's Qin Lanzhi!

Xie Yulan subconsciously sat up straight, only to realize that the other party did not see her, and was talking to another handsome man.

From Xie Yulan's perspective, he couldn't see Qin Lanzhi's expression clearly, but could only see his sharp and tough side face. For some reason, he felt that Qin Lanzhi was in a bad mood, and the corners of his mouth must be pursed.

"Brother Jun!" The girl from Huafang saw him take the handkerchief but didn't make a sound, and made a fuss, "Brother Jun, come up! Come to us!"

Everyone in the cruise ship laughed, and the boatman joked with Xie Yulan: "Do you want to go up? Shall I take you up?"

Xie Yulan hurriedly waved her hands, the girls on the boat quit, and yelled for the boatman to bring the cruise boat closer.

The movement here finally alarmed the people on the second floor. Qin Lanzhi looked down, but because of the cover of the boat, he couldn't see Xie Yulan from his angle. He only saw the pair of white and slender hands holding an embroidered handkerchief. , is dangling.

That hand is inexplicably familiar.

Immediately, he heard a more familiar voice, mixed in the sound of music and the noise of the crowd, which he accurately captured.

Xie Yulan said in a warm voice, somewhat at a loss: "Sorry, I won't go... Whose handkerchief is this? Can I pay for it?"

Qin Lanzhi raised his eyebrows and tapped his finger on the window frame. The handsome man on the other side paused and put down his glass: "Did you hear what I said? What are you looking at?"

Qin Lanzhi glanced at the person being teased below, and lazily said: "Look at the idiot."
