The air after the rain is filled with mist, giving this small southern country a mysterious color.
This place is mountainous and many temples have been built for people to worship the gods they believe in.
There is a local saying in the Qiang Wu Kingdom that once a Qiang Wu woman falls in love with a man, she will be bound by love and protect this man for the rest of her life.
He Lanlan passed by some temples, but only stopped for a moment at the door and did not enter to worship.
Firstly, most of the worshipers there were women, and secondly, he never believed in such things.
If he hadn't met Lian Yi a few years ago, he probably would never have had the slightest interest in a place like Qiang Wu Country.
The summer of that year was extremely hot in the capital, so He Lanlan had to escape the summer heat in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing. There was a friend's villa there, and it was very convenient to stay there for a few months.
The air in the mountains and forests is the best. He would often walk around alone in the mountains to breathe in the fresh air.
One day, He Lanlan was walking along the path on the edge of the cliff. He heard someone calling for help below. He raised his head and took a look. It turned out that a woman accidentally stepped on the side of the road and was hooked by a crooked tree on the edge of the cliff.
!
Anyone can be a hero and save a beauty.
But He Lanlan was not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business. Just as he was about to leave, the woman shouted again: "Obviously it's just a matter of helping me, but you are so stingy that you don't want to rescue me."
He Lanlan thought about it and realized that it was indeed a matter of helping others. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so why not save someone to pass the time?
And from the moment he decided to take action, he was destined to go through this sad relationship in his life.
He Lanlan will never forget the surprise that brought him when he first saw that face.
What kind of beauties had he not seen in the prosperous land of the capital? But each beauty caught his eye, and Lian Yi’s unique foreign appearance really made his eyes shine!
That face was fair and deep, and her charming eyes were so seductive that they seemed to seduce people's soul.
It would be fine if she wanted to seduce his soul, but there was a slight sense of alienation deep in those eyes.
That woman was so beautiful that she could make men all over the world fall in love with her, but her greatest charm lay in her disdain for things that could be accomplished by hooking up with each other.
He was wearing a white cigarette sweater and there were eye-catching scratches on his arms.
The bright red blood stain made him frown. He always felt that such a thing should not appear on such a pure and flawless body.
He Lanlan became interested. If this woman named "Luan Yi" was water, then he would be a blazing flame!
He Lanlan knew best what kind of friends he made, so he immediately decided to take Lian Yi back to the capital!
In order to avoid leaving scars on Lian Yi's wound, He Lanlan found all the famous doctors in Beijing and went through many connections to get the ointment.
Spending money to get a relationship is not a problem at all. He is just for the person in front of him who is different to him. For her, he is willing to do anything.
He Lanlan himself felt crazy. Women had always been attracted to him. This was the first time that he was willing to pay for someone.
Lian Yi spent a month of pampered life in the Helan Mansion in the capital. Even the servants saw the affection for the second young master from the family and treated her as half a second young mistress.
But Lian Yi himself was indifferent. She was a thousand-year-old stone, no matter how hard He Lanlan covered it, it couldn't warm it up. He Lanlan was very distressed for a time. He didn't know what he did not do well enough. During that time, he devoted himself to how to please her.
superior.
But after the eldest son of the Helan family, He Lanlan's eldest brother He Lanxiao, returned to the mansion from a study trip, the trend of things gradually changed.
What He Lanlan didn't know was that he couldn't even see Lian Yi smile even if he spent all his time and effort, but his eldest brother He Lanxiao could do it easily.
His elder brother, He Lanxiao, read poetry and books, and was obsessed with traveling and studying to enrich himself. He was the pride of the entire Helan family. His father, He Lanchang, paid more attention to cultivating Helan Xiao when they were children. As for Helan Lan, his father
He is said to be an "idle layman" in the future.
In the past, He Lanxiao often advised He Lanlan to study hard. Reading can enrich oneself and improve one's self-cultivation.
A gentleman likes to read.
But He Lanlan strongly disagrees with these remarks. Reading? What a waste of time! He is not a gentleman, so why should he study?
If you don’t have enough time to “get it right”, you might as well practice some sword skills. Which woman doesn’t like a man who has a sense of security?
He Lanxiao advised again: "The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade."
When He Lanlan heard this, he couldn't stop laughing. He teased his brother: "I believe you for once, but I want to see if there is Yan Ruyu in this book. Read it to me and see what happens.
Can you read a woman? If you can really read it, I will eat all your books in front of you!"
Unexpectedly, one word turned out to be a prophecy.
The funny jokes between the two brothers when they were teenagers were meant to be unintentional, but unfortunately they came true.
He Lanlan would never have thought that the woman in front of him, who was as untouchable as a fairy, would actually smile at someone and talk to someone proactively.
Yes, this person is his eldest brother, He Lanxiao.
Lian Yi was a medical woman from the Qiang witch country. She was studying a medicine and accidentally saw in a book that one of the medicinal materials only grew in the Xuli country. She had invested too much energy in this medicine and became single.
Go to Xuli country and try to find this medicine in the places mentioned in the book.
One day, He Lanlan was carrying the roast duck he had just bought in person, but he couldn't find Lian Yi anywhere. After asking a servant, he found out that she was in the eldest son's courtyard.
Before he could put down the things in his hands, he rushed to He Lanxiao's courtyard.
When he saw Lian Yi, she was looking at He Lanxiao with a bright smile. The two were studying a book together. He Lanlan couldn't understand what they were talking about.
He only saw the pleasant smile on her face, the one who was always cold to him on weekdays. At this moment, it seemed that because she said something wrong, she stuck out her tongue playfully and smiled at her eldest brother He Lanxiao: "Hey
, this is wrong again.”
He Lanlan felt like he was falling into an ice cave. He looked at it for a long time before he said, "Why did you come here? I couldn't find you anywhere I looked."
The smile that was still on Lian Yi's face disappeared in an instant when He Lanlan interrupted him.
She returned to her usual cold attitude and said, "What's the matter?"
He Lanlan was indeed fine. He was stunned. He could only raise the roast duck wrapped in his hand and said: "I bought you a roast duck. If you don't eat it, it will get cold."
His words made Lian Yi frown. Even though he was still far away, she couldn't help but put her hand to her nose and said coldly: "Let it go for now."
Leave it alone for now.
These four words were like dense needles, piercing into his heart one by one.
He Lanlan didn't know for a moment whether he should feel pity for the roast duck or himself.
This roast duck had gone through layers of craftsmanship, and every minute of fine carving was done by the knife before it was sliced into such a delicate flavor, but she didn't even take a look at it.
He Lanlan felt that he looked a lot like this roast duck.
He suddenly remembered what his brother had said to him: There is a house of gold in a book, and there is a beauty like jade in a book.
What a perfect pair before us, He Lanxiao and Lian Yi, they have similar interests and are well-read.
They spoke words they didn't understand and read books they couldn't understand.
This was not even the most fatal blow. For He Lanlan, the biggest tragedy in his life was that he heard from his father about the engagement between his brother and Lianyi.
He was really dumbfounded now. He Lanlan was messing around at all costs. He no longer cared about how Lian Yi rejected him thousands of miles away. He couldn't control anything. He just wanted her!
He who can't use his words can't persuade him in every possible way.
He couldn't do anything with his hands either. He used all his strength to cause mischief and almost overthrew the entire Helan Mansion.
But after all, it was just a fight between trapped beasts. He Lanlan went to his father again to mention the matter, but his father was just silent.
Helan Chang only said that the woman was a disaster because of her beauty, which made their entire Helan Mansion uneasy!
He Lanlan didn't realize how serious the consequences his nonsense would have this time.
He thought that through these little tricks he played, he could draw the woman he loved towards him, but he never thought that he would have to pay for this farce in the end.
That day, after He Lanlan woke up, he went to Lianyi's residence as usual, only to find that all her belongings were empty. He didn't take it to heart at first, but then ran to Helanxiao's courtyard, only to find that Helanxiao was nowhere to be found.
Already.
"Where are the people?" He Lanlan muttered in confusion.
The servants in the mansion looked at him with strange eyes. When He Lanlan asked about Lian Yi, the servants also hesitated nervously and were speechless.
After asking several people one after another but unable to get any results, He Lanlan finally got angry and went directly to his father.
Faced with his mania, his old father Helan Chang had obviously planned his reaction in advance. Helan Chang said calmly: "If she continues to stay in the house, our Helan family will sooner or later
It’s going to be a mess, no, it’s already a mess!”
He Lanchang sighed and said: "If your eldest brother wants to chase that woman, just let him go. I, He Lanchang, can't keep such a face in the court. My son, the second young master of Helan! I can!"
I can’t ask you to save some face for your old father for the last time?!"
He Lanlan's mood was very complicated. He suddenly felt that his father was a little pitiful at this moment.
Later, he was like a zombie. When his father asked him to join his camp, he went.
He no longer has anything he wants to pursue, and he no longer lives for himself.
It wasn't until He Lanlan came to the Qiang Wu Kingdom in person and saw the woman he couldn't forget with his own eyes that he felt as if he was still alive.
The rain was gurgling in the Qiang Wu Kingdom. He Lanlan woke up early the next morning and found that Xiao Qingyuan was no longer in the inn. After asking the waiter, he found out that she had already found a carriage and was walking on her own.
He was the one who said they parted ways, but now he can't help but worry, will the child be in danger again if he is alone in the north?
