Today is June NO.14.

Lu Hai can't stay longer in Tianjing, tomorrow is the graduation ceremony, he has to go back to attend.

Xu Yan's injury has not healed yet, and she is still recuperating in the hospital.Fortunately, he had taken the anti-drug pill earlier, but the trauma was serious, and there was no more troublesome corpse poison.

After Lu Hai came back from Fatty Zhang, he went to the hospital to say goodbye to Xu Yan.

When he entered, Xu Yan was holding the photo frame in a daze.It wasn't until Lu Hai came to her side that Xu Yan regained his composure.

"What's wrong?" Lu Hai felt that Xu Yan was not in a good mood, so he squeezed her shoulder and comforted her softly.

"No, I think of something from the past." Xu Yan shook her head.

"I've booked a ticket for tonight."

"Well, the hospital said that we can only be transferred tomorrow, so I will stay here for a day. There is some movement at Jiayuan Restaurant, so I will follow up first."

Lu Hai nodded, didn't say anything, and didn't leave.

It's still early for boarding time.

He sat behind Xu Yan, his height advantage was just enough to see the photo frame in her hand.

This is also the first time he has looked at this old photo seriously.

The background of the photo is in the deep mountains, under the Davidia involucrata tree full of white stamens, the four people are standing side by side with smiles on their faces.They were three men and one woman, the oldest one was about forty years old, short in stature, with a wretched smile, and more importantly, his eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and he was blind.

When he saw the man's face clearly, Lu Hai was a little surprised. This short middle-aged man was Qu Chong!

But the other three were much strangers.

There was only one woman, who looked very similar to Xu Yan, with long hair and mountaineering suits. It should be Xu Yan's mother, Xiao Qingyan.

The other two are men in their 30s, one with a square face and a puffy figure, and the other with a gentle and handsome appearance, standing on both sides of Xu Yan's mother.

Perhaps noticing Lu Hai's rapt attention, Xu Yan pointed and introduced.

Qu Chong on the far left needs no introduction; the Chinese character face next to Qu Chong is Zhou Jianjun, who is also Zhou Yihai’s father; followed by Xu Yan’s mother Xiao Qingyan, who was 28 years old when she was in her prime; the handsome young man on the far right is named Mu Sanqi is also Mu Jianghu's father.

Back then, Xiao Qingyan was already the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, the largest family in Guancheng, Qu Chong was a well-known magician, and Mu Sanqi was the heir to a famous Chinese medicine family.

What's interesting is that Mu Sanqi is indifferent, has a weird temper, and doesn't like to be with others.The reason why he appeared here was purely because he had been secretly in love with Xiao Qingyan.

It's not right to say that they have a crush on each other. It was a good story in Guancheng that Mu Sanqi and Xu Zheyan competed together.

It's just that Xu Yan married Xu Zheyan, a soldier, and Mu Sanqi was disheartened, and married an ordinary girl the next year.When he had a son and the Xu family had only one daughter, Mu Sanqi once said that if he couldn't marry Xiao Qingyan, he would let his son marry Xiao Qingyan's daughter.

But looking at Mu Jianghu seeing Xu Yan and mice seeing cats now, it is obviously impossible.

The Xu family's daughter-in-law, the famous warlock, and the heir of the Chinese medicine family, it is normal for these three people to gather together.

The most abnormal one is Zhou Jianjun.

At that time, Zhou Jianjun had not yet made a fortune, but was just a street vendor who set up a small stall near the middle school.

When Lu Hai raised a question, Xu Yan gave an explanation.

"At that time, Zhou Jianjun was the first to discover the relics. I have to say that although Zhou Jianjun was uneducated at the time, he still had a vision. After discovering the relics, he asked someone to find Qu Chong, and finally the matter was passed on to my father. That’s how an expedition team consisting of four of them was established.”

Xu Yan caressed Xiao Qingyan in the photo with her thumb, showing a slight smile.

Lu Hai didn't ask, he knew that Xu Yan had already opened his heart to him.

"During World War II, my grandma had been running around with my grandfather, and suffered from many physical problems. During the excavation of the ruins, my mother knew that there were many unheard of herbs in them. As a doctor, she realized the value of them and volunteered to go to the ruins. Participate in the development and excavation, for grandma, and to help more people."

"In the later discovery of the ruins, we did find a lot of medicinal herbs, but the properties of the medicinal herbs were not sure. At that time, the medical conditions were not very good, so my mother and Uncle Mu studied together."

"As the discoverer of the ruins, Zhou Jianjun was the first to withdraw after getting the ghost lotus."

"Furthermore, my family didn't tell me the details about it, but this time when I came to Tianjing, I realized that all the changes were because my mother discovered a terrible thing."

"What's the matter?" Lu Hai asked.

"This ruin does not belong to the human world!"

"Based on what happened yesterday, I think that maybe the real address of the ruins is in the Underworld."

"Because of this discovery, there were different voices among the teams."

"Qu Chong didn't want to be the first to rush to the front. Every time, he cowered and hid behind. Finally, after being pointed out by Uncle Mu, he left the team and went to find Zhou Jianjun. Later, for some reason, the two of them also fell out. "

"And Uncle Mu, in fact, already has the intention to quit."

"Only my mother thinks this is a great opportunity for mankind. If she can obtain herbs from the underworld, she might make a great contribution to modern medicine."

"Uncle Mu had no choice but to continue with my mother. But later, as they continued to go deeper, other members of the expedition suffered a large number of casualties. My father didn't want my mother to take any more risks, so he forcibly pulled her back."

"In the next few years, my mother was always depressed. Finally, when my father was on a business trip, she sneaked out, found Uncle Mu, and continued to go deep into the ruins."

"That time, they found a strange ancient street in the ruins, where there seemed to be traces of human activities."

"I don't know who was discovered by people on the street. A group of more than 30 people almost died. Later, it was the mother who saved them. She was kidnapped by them."

"Later, when Uncle Mu came back, he locked himself at home and hasn't gone out yet."

"I thought my mother had suffered misfortune, but on my tenth birthday, she came back..."

Xu Yan's face was not very good-looking, she stabilized her emotions, and continued:

"After my mother came back, everything went wrong."

"At the very beginning, she would do some experiments with frogs and spiders in the middle of the night. Slowly, she started stealing other people's cats and dogs... She always said that she knew the secret of eternal life!"

"Father thought she was crazy, so he locked her at home. But... two months later, when my father came back from the outside, he saw that the two bodyguards who had been guarding my mother had fallen into a pool of blood. And my mother was holding a stick of blood. A pill full of blood, forcing grandma to take it..."

"Grandma was not in good health and had a heart attack. She fainted from fright and never woke up again."

"After that..."

Xu Yan couldn't continue, she lowered her head and hugged the photo frame, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

Lu Hai sighed.

There are not many people in Guancheng who don't know what happened next.

The matter of Xu Zheyan killing his wife in anger is a black spot that the Xu family can't erase for the rest of their lives.Even if things are hidden, how many people will really sympathize and think about it?

At the same time, Lu Hai probably understood why Xu Dong had such an indifferent attitude towards his granddaughter.

I'm afraid that the hatred for Xiao Qingyan was imposed on Xu Yan.

Lu Hai was also in a bad mood, and comforted him, "Don't be sad. When we have the strength one day, we can go to the ruins and see. Maybe we can find some clues and give your mother justice."

Xu Yan wiped her eyes, looked up at Lu Hai and smiled, but did not agree.

……

After bidding farewell to Xu Yan, Lu Hai took the last bus back to Guancheng in the afternoon.

Arriving at the downstairs of the Tsinghua apartment, Li Qian had already greeted her downstairs.

Li Qian had a lot of resentment for the two of them going to Tianjing for so long.

Especially when she heard about Xu Yan's serious injury, Li Qian had a big opinion of Lu Hai, so she gave him a bowl of instant noodles for dinner.

Lu Hai didn't dare to offend Sister Qian, and besides, he had to bear at least half of the responsibility for Xu Yan's injury, and he just accepted the words of Sister Qian honestly.

Sister Qian is not only good at training, but also has strong hands-on ability.

It wasn't until Lu Hai's ears were red that Li Qian pinched the soft flesh on his waist and said: "Tomorrow's graduation ceremony, don't forget to dress formally. I'll give you the bachelor's uniform. I don't know the exact size. You will wear it."

Lu Hai rubbed his ears that were about to lose consciousness, and smiled apologetically, "Sister Qian took it, how dare I be picky."

Li Qian gave him a white look: "Not only the clothes, but also the messy hair, I have to take good care of it, do you hear me?"

Lu Hai smiled wryly: "It's just graduation, it's not a blind date, just get by."

Li Qian stared at him, "Are you listening?!"

Lu Hai nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Only then did Li Qian mutter: "Tomorrow Zhou Yihai's cousin Zhou Bing is going to give a speech at the school, that guy... Anyway, you have to make me look like a dog, don't embarrass me!"

"Zhou Bing?"

It sounded familiar to Lu Hai, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.
