Qiao Ran was taken to a cold, damp, musty-smelling underground secret room by two men, and pushed into a house with an iron fence.
Qiao Ran quickly took a few steps forward, only to feel that he stepped on something soft under his feet, and his body fell onto the hay.
Under the dim light, I saw a thin body lying on the ground and moving slowly.
"Child, what mistake did you make to be imprisoned here?" An extremely weak and old voice sounded.
Then, a man with disheveled hair and no face slowly raised his head.
Before Qiao Ran spoke, the woman crawled towards Qiao Ran excitedly.
"Yao'er, my Yao'er, you are not dead, are you still alive?"
But her body seemed extremely weak, and she crawled on the ground several times without moving forward.
Qiao Ran quickly walked to her, squatted down, and helped her sit up.
"I'm not Yao'er, my name is Qiao Ran!" Qiao Ran said as he plucked the hair from her face and saw an old face full of wrinkles and stains.
The old woman looked at Qiao Ran's young and energetic face, and the hope in her eyes dimmed a bit.
"You are indeed not Yao'er. If Yao'er is still alive, she would be sixty years old. It is impossible to be as young as you. But how come you look so similar to Yao'er?"
"Old woman, are you Lu Yao'er's mother?" The old woman nodded.
Lu Yaoer is sixty this year, and her mother is at least eighty years old.
"How long have you been here since you were caught by Lei Zhen?"
"It has been 45 years. He hated us for causing Yao's death. He took revenge on us in the third year after Yao'er died..."
The old woman looked at Qiao Ran's face, and suddenly thought of something, and asked excitedly again: "Is your mother 48 years old this year?"
Qiao Ran's heart tightened and he nodded.
"Does she have a plum blossom birthmark on her back?"
When Qiao Ran heard the old woman's words, his heart suddenly jumped up and down.
Because her mother said before her death that she was an abandoned baby, her adoptive parents raised her until she was fifteen years old and then died, so she worked as an apprentice in a tailor shop to support herself.
"So, you, you are my grandmother? I also have a plum blossom birthmark on my back!"
The old woman quickly grabbed Qiao Ran's clothes. When she saw the plum blossom on Qiao Ran's fair back under the dim light, her pupils suddenly shrunk and she burst into tears.
"It's great. Your mother is still alive. It's great. I waited for forty-five years without daring to die, and finally I have a result that allows me to rest in peace!"
Looking at the old man crying in front of him, Qiao Ran's heart beat almost out of his throat.
All she wanted to do was come here to destroy the drug den and accomplish a great feat before she died.
But she didn't expect that when she came to destroy the drug den, she would be given a relative before she died?
Seeing his grandma's excited tears, Qiao Ran couldn't say anything about his mother's death.
Grandma has scars all over her body and is very weak. It looks like she has been tortured for many years. If she knew that she had the motivation to persevere for many years, she would die.
I'm afraid my body will collapse.
"I didn't expect that I actually still have a grandma. Can you tell me why you separated from my mother in the first place?" Qiao Ran asked distressedly, holding her grandma's bony hand.
"After I found out that your Aunt Yao passed away, I fell into a coma on the spot. When I woke up, your grandpa told me that I was pregnant. At that time, we all thought that your Aunt Yao had come back in another way.
After your mother was born, she looked exactly like your Aunt Yao, which helped my grandfather and I gradually overcome the pain of losing a daughter.
At this time, Lei Zhen came back with a group of bandits to seek revenge on us. Your grandfather took your three uncles to deal with them.
I took your mother to escape, escorted by several soldiers, and ran into a forest. No matter how we ran, we would always reach the starting point.
Later I found out that it was the people around Lei Zhen who used strange magic, and I saw Lei Zhen's people catching up.
In desperation, I saw a patch of camellia and knew that someone would go to the mountain to pick tea, so I knocked your mother unconscious and left her in the camellia forest to let her fate come to her.
After Lei Zhen took me away, he said that your grandfather and several uncles had been killed by him, and I was going to commit suicide and follow them.
I was stopped by Lei Zhen. He said that he wanted me to live in the pain of losing a son and a husband all my life, and that the white-haired man had to give up the black man. He said that this was the price we paid for not trusting him and killing your Aunt Yao.
Later, I figured out that my biggest wish is to live to see your mother. Although I didn't see your mother, I was even happier to see you.
This shows that my decision to place her in the tea mountains was correct. Not only did she grow up safely, but she also gave birth to a beautiful daughter like you." Grandma held Qiao Ran's hand tightly, her eyes filled with tears of happiness.
.
At this moment, grandma's face overflowed with a happy smile from the bottom of her heart, completely forgetting that the environment they were in was dangerous.
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely take you out of here safely."
Qiao Ran's words made the smile on grandma's face slowly disappear.
How could she forget that this is Lei Zhen's territory?
"Child, why were you arrested by Lei Zhen? Were you arrested because you look like Yao'er?
Lei Zhen hates our family very much. If he finds out that you are also our descendant, he will definitely torture you severely.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have prayed to God every day to let me see your mother, so God might not have arranged for you to be in front of me." Grandma said with a face filled with self-blame and sadness.
Although it was the first day they met, Qiao Ran could already experience full affection and care from her grandmother.
"Grandma, don't worry. It wasn't Lei Zhen who caught me, it was me who came here on purpose. General Jiang has a sophisticated layout outside. This time he will definitely wipe out Lei Zhen's forces, and we will leave here safely." Qiao.
Ran's voice was firm and soothing.
"Hahaha……"
A strange, gloomy woman's laughter suddenly sounded, and the human laughter struck people's hearts like a curse.
"Leave here safely? Stop dreaming. Once you enter here, you can't get out alive."
No matter how sophisticated your layout is, as long as you dare to enter the mountain, you will never come back."
Qiao Ran looked around and saw a dark thing slowly raising its head in the next cell outside the iron bars.
Her hair covered her face, and the scene looked like a ghost movie, which made people's hair stand on end.
Qiao Ran's heart suddenly tightened when he saw clearly a woman not far away who was wearing tattered clothes, had no legs, only one arm, and was so ulcerated that her flesh and blood were mutilated.
"It's like, it's really similar. You look so much like Lu Yao'er. Why is he willing to lock you up in this hellish place?"
Qiao Ran knew that what she said seemed to be referring to the fact that she was very similar to Lei Zhen's first girlfriend.
Before Qiao Ran could speak, the woman spoke quietly: "He loves Lu Yao'er so much, how could he use the Dragon and Phoenix Locust Technique on you who looks so much like Lu Yao'er?
Does he finally stop loving Lu Yao'er? Haha, didn't he say he only loves Lu Yao'er in this life?
Didn’t Aiwujiwu marry so many women like Lu Yaoer?
You are more like Lu Yao'er than those people. He actually gave you such a heavy magic, and his love changed so quickly? Hahaha..."
The woman's crazy laughter echoed in the basement, as frightening as a demon seeking life.
Although the woman in front of her was crazy, she could tell at a glance that she had been possessed by the dragon and phoenix locust spell.
This made Qiao Ran feel that the woman in front of him was someone who knew a lot about magic.
"You know magic? Then can you unblock the magic in my body?"
"Why should I explain it to you?" the woman asked coldly.
"Because I am the one who can take you out of here!"
"It's impossible. Anyone who enters here has no chance of getting out alive."
"That's because you can get out alive, but you don't want to go out, right? Because you love Lei Zhen so much that it's engraved in your bones. Even if you are tortured by him in every possible way, you will die where he is, right?" Qiao Ran smiled brightly.
ask.
"You're talking nonsense, I don't love him." The woman immediately retorted.
