Scroll of Seven Sorrows

"You, you are... you are Fan Wujiu's elder brother?" Ji Lan suddenly asked.

Ba Ye's face was full of black lines, he thought, if it was Xie Bi'an, he would definitely respond immediately, and he would be able to make everything perfect.

But Fan Wujiu is Fan Wujiu after all.

"No, I'm Fan Wujiu." Ba Ye said.

"What about the one just now?" Ji Lan pointed behind her.

"That's also Fan Wujiu." Ba Ye said seriously.

Ba Ye successfully made Ji Lan look confused.Ji Lan lowered her head and pinched her arm, then "hissed" and muttered to herself, "I'm not dreaming."

"I am Fan Wujiu, he is also Fan Wujiu, I am him, but he is not me now. Do you understand?" Fan Wujiu explained.

Ji Lan shook her head.

"I come from many years later, the dead Fan Wujiu. I was ordered to come back to do business."

The ancients were all superstitious, so Fan Wujiu didn't need to explain too much to Ji Lan, Ji Lan could believe what Fan Wujiu said.

"Then you are a god?" Ji Lan asked.

"It's okay, but don't tell others." Non-staff member Fan Wujiu said bravely.After all, people in this era know very little about Fengdu, the important members of Fengdu have not been in place yet, and Fan Wujiu can't explain too much.

"Wow, Xiao Fan, will you be so good in the future?" Ji Lan happily accepted Fan Wujiu's setting.

Ji Lan and Fan Wujiu walked along the street while reminiscing about the past, until they reached the other end of the street, they saw a group of people gathered under the high platform.

Fan Wujiu took a visual inspection, the platform was about two meters long, and there were several large wooden cages on it, and many teenagers with their hands and feet bound were imprisoned in the cages.One of the handsome teenagers was just pulled out of the cage. He knelt and sat in the middle of the high platform, and the corners of his mouth were still slightly bruised.

"As long as six sheepskins, does anyone want to buy them?" The obese man walked up to the boy, lifted the boy's chin with one hand, and asked the crowd of onlookers.

It turned out to be a slave trade.

Fan Wujiu doesn't like to join in the fun, he always stays away from crowded places, seeing so many people surrounded in front of him, he instinctively wants to take a detour and leave.

But Ji Lan obviously didn't know what he was thinking, instead she squeezed into the crowd and got to the front of the stage.

When the young man saw Ji Lan, his eyes showed some hesitation, then his red lips parted slightly, and he called out to Ji Lan, "Are you Sister Lan?"

Ji Lan originally thought the young man was kind, but she didn't expect the young man to call out her name as soon as he saw her.

"You, you are?" Ji Lan quickly went through the people she knew from the memory in her mind, "Are you Brother Yu?"

"It's me, sister, save me." Hearing Ji Lan call out her name, Huang Yu's tears rolled out like beads one by one.

"I bought this man, I'll go back and get the sheepskin now. I'll let my friend wait here." Ji Lan immediately shouted at the fat man on the stage, and then turned around and shouted at Fan Wujiu who was outside the crowd, "No blame, please take care of Yu'er here, I'll be right back."

Before Fan Wujiu could answer, Ji Lan immediately ran towards home.

Seeing Ji Lan's back almost disappearing into the distance, Fan Wujiu sighed, and then jumped onto the stage directly.Huang Yu on the stage looked at Fan Wujiu pitifully, like a rabbit that has just escaped the pursuit of an eagle.Fan Wujiu quickly untied the rope that bound Huang Yu's hands and feet, and then led him to the back of the table.The fat boss seemed to see Ji Lan's status as a nobleman, so he didn't dare to say anything, and let Fan Wujiu do as he wanted.

"Thank you." Huang Yu said timidly.

Fan Wujiu replied: "No need."

Seeing that Fan Wujiu didn't talk much, Huang Yu stopped making fun of himself and waited quietly with him for Jilan's return.

Ji Lan was eager to save people, and soon returned to the street with a few house slaves carrying sheepskins.

"Brother, you are suffering, come home with me." Ji Lan hugged Huang Yu with tears in her eyes.

Fan Wujiu looked at the intimacy of the two, but was still at a loss.He wanted to send a message to Lord Qi to ask himself what to do next, but suddenly he felt that he couldn't always rely on Xie Bi'an.If one day Xie Bi'an had a family, wouldn't it be possible for him to consult him about everything all day long?

Thinking that Xie Bi'an might have a family in the future, Fan Wujiu still felt a little sad.Although Xie Bi'an told him that he would never get married, but there is no guarantee that one day he will meet true love. Could it be that he, Fan Wujiu, can still be a villain who beats mandarin ducks?

"No blame, let me introduce you. This is my cousin Huang Yu. When the Huang family committed crimes, all adult males were executed, and the female family members and children became slaves. If I hadn't met you today, I wouldn't have If you go this way, you won’t even meet your cousin.”

It turned out to be Ji Lan's cousin.However, probably because of the abuse he had received before, Huang Yu was skinny and not tall, and still looked like a teenager.

When other people's relatives get together, Fan Wujiu no longer bothers himself, and takes the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Before the beacon fire in the desert, Xie Bi'an discussed the day's military affairs in the main tent. Seeing that the sky was getting dark and there was a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening, Jiang Ju didn't delay any longer and signaled that Xie Bi'an could leave first to prepare for the evening .

After getting along for a while, Xie Bi'an basically understood Jiang Ju's character.He is a typical hot-blooded man, who values ​​loyalty and affection, and puts a knife in his arms for his friends. This is why when he saw Yin Zihui married Ji Lan, he returned to the frontier without saying a word to Ji Lan.

"General, have you ever wondered why the emperor asked you to go out?" Seeing that there was no one around, Xie Bi'an took the opportunity to lower his voice and wanted to mention Jiang Ju.

"Of course it's because he trusts me." Jiang Ju replied.

Xie Bi'an shook his head and said, "Yes, the general is indeed the person the emperor trusts the most. But the emperor sent you, the general who is about to get married, without using so many experienced generals under his command. Is it really just because of trust?"

"You mean..." Jiang Ju looked at Xie Bi'an and hesitated to speak.

"He doesn't want you to marry Ji Lan."

Jiang Ju's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Does he like Ji Lan?"

Qi Ye: I really don’t like straight men (〝▼皮▼)

Xie Bi'an shook his head, and said: "It's not because of Ji Lan, general, if you think about it carefully, I will retire first."

"Hey, farewell, military master. You let me think for myself, what can I come up with." Jiang Ju shouted at Xie Bi'an.But Xie Bi'an didn't continue to answer him, just waved to him, and then exited the main account.

For Jiang Ju, this was bound to be a sleepless night.Of course, for Ji Lan, this night was not ordinary.Of course, Jiang Ju's insomnia and Ji Lan's insomnia are not due to the same reason, Jiang Ju is because of Xie Bi'an's words, and Ji Lan is because of Huang Yu's request.

After Huang Yu returned to Ji's mansion, she changed and washed her clothes. She relied on clothes and horses and saddles, and she was even more handsome than before returning to her mansion. She looked like willows in the spring moon, and Ji Lan was also stunned for a while.

Huang Yu frowned slightly, took out a jade pendant from her body, and handed it to Ji Lan.

"Sister Lan, my family was convicted, and I became a lowly slave. Thanks to my sister's help, I was able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering that was worse than death. I shouldn't have asked for anything. It's just that before the Huang family was convicted, I had a relationship with the rescuer. There was one person, and that person made an agreement with me that he would come to me after his troubles were resolved smoothly. Unexpectedly, before I got to him, my family suffered such disasters, and I would never see that person again. Relying on the belief that the agreement with that person has not been fulfilled, I have survived until now. This half jade pendant is the token that the person gave me, and I have always kept it close to me. Sister Lan, you have grown up for many years and know a lot of people , can you help me find the owner of this jade pendant, so that I can close my eyes even if I die." Huang Yu said with tears.

Ji Lan took out a handkerchief to help him wipe away his tears, then took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.Huang Yu carved a carp on the jade pendant for Ji Lan, presumably the other half of the jade pendant must also be a fish, and the fish is a token of love.

Ji Lan's hand holding the jade pendant trembled slightly, because she had seen the other half of the jade pendant before, and it was on Jiang Ju's body.

Could it be that Jiang Ju is the person Huang Yu is thinking of?For the first time in her life, Ji Lan felt afraid.

If that person is really Jiang Ju, is it because he likes me that he made a private decision with me for life, or because I look somewhat similar to Huang Yu and regards me as a substitute?

Ji Lan felt dizzy for a while, and couldn't even hear what Huang Yu said clearly.Now all she wanted was to throw this jade pendant in Jiang Ju's face and ask him what he meant, but Jiang Ju was far away at the border, and the date of return was undecided. She was a girl, how could she find him across the mountains?

By the way, Fan Wujiu, go find Fan Wujiu, didn't Fan Wujiu say he is a god?

Ji Lan accepted the jade pendant pretending to be calm, then comforted Huang Yu a few words, sent him back to the bedroom to rest, and then ran out of Ji's mansion.

But the crowd was so vast, Fan Wujiu only said that he would come to her again later, but he didn't tell her where he lived, how could she find him!

Sadness, suspicion, and helplessness surrounded Ji Lan, and she didn't know what she should do next.

The sun was gradually setting to the west, and the moon appeared in the blue sky early. Ji Lan shed tears looking at the dim moon.

Let's go home, maybe I remembered wrongly, Jiang Ju didn't have any jade pendants at all, I remembered wrongly.

Jiang Ju, when will you come back?I have already woven the wedding dress, just waiting for you to ride a white horse and take me into your Jiang family.

When you are a dove, you have no food for mulberries; when you are a girl, you have nothing to do with scholars.

At this time, Fan Wujiu was lying on the roof of his house, secretly looking at the people in the yard.This is the house where he lived with Xie Bi'an before his death. He knew where the people in the courtyard couldn't see his house, but he could clearly see the people in the courtyard.

As night fell, Xie Bi'an moved the dining table to the yard, and then lit an oil lamp in the center of the table.With the help of the warm yellow light, Fan Wujiu could clearly see Xie Bi'an's appearance.

His face is still immature, without so many edges and corners.He didn't look like a tiger with a smile all day long like now, and his eyes were kept open.Fan Wujiu knew that in the next few years, Xie Bi'an's eyes would become smaller and smaller, and the corners of his mouth would become more and more upturned, hiding all his emotions and sorrows in his heart.

Fan Wujiu suddenly remembered that the living Xie Bi'an had a small reddish mole under his right eye, Fan Wujiu suddenly began to miss his mole, the night was hazy, he definitely couldn't see the mole clearly.

PS: Jiang Ju: No, my wife, please listen to my explanation

Ji Lan: I don’t listen, I don’t listen, you go→
