Save the beautiful and tragic hero

These words stunned Mi Lu.

It took a while for Mi Lu to react, and asked stammeringly, "Is it related to Hu Luwan? What do you mean by that? You mean she might have participated in that incident?"

"No." Hu Luyan sensed Mi Lu's nervousness, stroking the back of Mi Lu's hand with his thumb, he said slowly, "I suspect that half of my heart is in Hu Luwan's body."

"Du Luwan?" Mi Lu was surprised, "Why Hu Luwan? Why Hu Luwan? It shouldn't be her!"

Even if the plot of the original book changes, the heart that should have been taken away by Hu Luxing is taken away by another person, but that person shouldn't be Hu Luwan!

Isn't Hu Luwan the biological mother of Hu Luyan?

How could Hu Luwan do such a cruel and terrible thing to the child she once risked her life to give birth to?

Unless Hu Luwan is not voluntary.

But if this is true, it doesn't matter whether Hu Luwan is voluntary or not, because Hu Luwan has already caused irreversible damage to Hu Luyan.

Hu Luwan...

why her?

Could this be the malice of the original book towards them?Not only to kill him, but also to push Hu Luyan into the abyss again and again?

The hand that Mi Lu was holding by Hu Luyan was trembling.

He couldn't see his pale face, he could only feel waves of panic and fear creeping up from the bottom of his heart, like pairs of cold and slender hands, firmly grasping his heart.

It was the first time he felt so uncomfortable.

He is clearly aware of some kind of crisis, and that crisis is close at hand and within reach, but he can't do anything, just like a fish on the chopping board.

This powerlessness was deeply embedded in his heart.

"It's okay." Hu Luyan hugged him into his arms, and gently touched his head, "This is just my guess, it may not be true, we still have to go and have a look, seeing is believing."

Mi Lu tightly gripped the clothes on Hu Luyan's chest.

After a while, he asked Hu Luyan: "When do you plan to leave?"

"Now." Hu Luyan put his hand on the back of Mi Lu's hand, his tone was full of undeniable toughness, "You go with me."

Mi Lu nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

The sky outside gradually changed from gray to dark blue, and when they got into the carriage, the two lanterns in front of the house had already been lit, emitting a dim yellow light, swaying in the cold wind of early winter.

The night in Echeng County is far less lively than the daytime. Just after nightfall, there are no street vendors and passers-by. Only some shops are still lit, but they are not far from closing.

The carriage wobbled on the deserted street.

Thinking of meeting Hu Luyan's biological mother soon, Mi Lu suddenly became a little nervous, and subconsciously arranged his hair and clothes.

Before he finished tidying up, his hand was held by Hu Luyan.

Hu Luyan took his hand, put it in his palm, rubbed it lightly, then lowered his head and let out a sigh: "Your hands are so cold."

Mi Lu smiled: "I'm so nervous."

"What are you nervous about?"

"I'm going to see your mother soon." Mi Lu said, "If it weren't for special circumstances, I really shouldn't have seen her empty-handed."

"She shouldn't care about these things." Hu Luyan seemed to be infected by Mi Lu's smile, the corner of his mouth curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He leaned closer and kissed Mi Lu's cheek, and said, "It's all these It's just redundant etiquette, I think she will be happy just seeing you."

Mi Lu touched Hu Luyan's cheek, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "I hope so."

It was late at night when the carriage stopped.

Mi Lu was led out of the carriage by Hu Luyan, looked up and saw two thick wooden doors standing quietly in the thick night, and they were pushed open by Zhou Shang and others, making a dull creaking sound.

Strangely, when the wooden door was pushed open, there was no one there, not even a night watchman.

But as soon as Mi Lu stepped in with Hu Luyan, he felt a gust of night wind blowing, mixed with an extremely strong smell of blood.

The bloody smell rushed over Mi Lu's face almost instantly.

Mi Lu's throat rolled, and he almost vomited out on the spot.

Suddenly, a hand held a handkerchief and gently covered his mouth and nose.

There is a faint fragrance on the veil——

It is lotus fragrance.

In the past, every year when the lotus was in full bloom, he could smell the familiar and heart-warming fragrance in the house.

The lotus scent on the handkerchief was really not strong, but it seemed to seep into Mi Lu's heart, sweeping away most of those disgusting smells at once.

Mi Lu stretched out his hand to hold down the handkerchief, and then said to Hu Luyan, "I'm fine."

Hu Luyan lowered his head and touched Mi Lu's cheek with his lips, and all the heat from his breath fell on Mi Lu's cheek.

Mi Lu shrank her neck subconsciously because of the itchiness.

But after reacting, he poked his cheek in the direction of Hu Luyan again.

Hu Luyan chuckled amused by his small movements, simply pinched his chin directly, and kissed him hard on the lips.

"They arrived before us, so they have already cleaned up the place, but there are still some peculiar smells that haven't had time to deal with it. Please bear with it for now. We will leave as soon as we receive Hu Luwan."

As the voice fell, Mi Lu's hand was once again held by Hu Luyan.

Mi Lu glanced at the interlocking hands of himself and Hu Luyan, nodded and hummed.

The house was also completely silent, and the sound of the night wind beating the leaves could be clearly heard, rustling, which was a bit frightening.

They went all the way, but they never saw a lighting lantern. The whole house was like a huge monster crawling in the dark night, eyeing them, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Mi Lu didn't know where Hu Luwan was being imprisoned, so he could only follow Hu Luyan, while Zhou Shang and others led the way.

They walked through large and small courtyards and corridors for a long time, and finally came outside a house.

Zhou Shang and the others stopped in their tracks. Instead of rushing to open the door, they retreated to both sides at the same time, and then looked back at Hu Luyan.

Hu Luyan also stopped.

Although Hu Luyan just looked at the door in front of him blankly, Mi Lu could clearly feel that Hu Luyan was holding his hand tightly.

"Master." Zhou Shang whispered uncontrollably, "She's inside."

"Yeah." Hulu paused, and then said, "I know."

Seeing this, Zhou Shang couldn't say anything more, and closed his mouth embarrassingly.

However, Hu Luyan never took a step forward, he stared blankly at the door, his expression gradually became stiff, as if some monster was locked inside.

Until then, Mi Lu finally realized something was wrong. He stuffed his handkerchief into his shirt, put his other hand on the back of Hu Luyan's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Is your heart...is it in there too?"

Hearing this, Hu Luyan slowly turned his head to look at Mi Lu.

It was only then that Mi Lu noticed that Hu Luyan's brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes were frighteningly dark.

"It's inside." Hu Luyan twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at him smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, instead a layer of ice condensed.

Hu Luyan looked down at Mi Lu, "Liu Liu, it seems that I guessed right."

Mi Lu opened his mouth blankly, but didn't know what to say for a while.

His mind was in turmoil.

It seemed that there were countless messy emotions filling it, which couldn't be sorted out and cut off constantly, interweaving into a force and rampaging in his mind, which gave him a headache.

He couldn't help but clenched Hu Luyan's hand: "Let's go in and have a look."

Hu Luyan was quiet for a moment, although his brows were still furrowed, but after some hesitation, he finally nodded: "Okay."

After hearing this, Zhou Shang hurried forward and pushed the door open.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, an indescribable smell spread out along the opened door. The smell was extremely pungent, like the smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicine, and there were some unpleasant smells that could not be identified.

Many smells mixed together, like an invisible net, covering the few people in front of the door tightly.

Mi Lu's face turned pale.

He turned his head to look, and saw that Hu Luyan's expression was also very ugly, his stepping foot hesitated for a while in mid-air before slowly landing, and then continued to walk in.

Mi Lu followed beside Hu Luyan without saying a word.

This room is not small, and it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. A half-burned candle is burning on the wooden table in the outside room. The candle is small and dimly lit, and it is blown back and forth by the night wind that comes in from outside the house.

Mi Lu looked at the beating candle, and a feeling of uneasiness hit his heart again.

He wondered if it was all going too well.

From the time they learned of Hu Luwan's whereabouts to the time they arrived in Echeng County and came here, the whole journey can be described as unimpeded, without even encountering a decent stumbling block.

just like--

It's as if someone is behind the scenes.

The familiar feeling is back.

That vague feeling of being manipulated by someone as a pawn.

For some reason, Mi Lu panicked and suddenly felt stage fright, so he quickly grabbed Hu Luyan's hand.

Hu Luyan immediately stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

"I, I feel very bad." A layer of cold sweat overflowed Mi Lu's pale face.

Hearing this, Hu Luyan quickly revealed a worried expression. He raised his other hand and patiently wiped off the cold sweat on Mi Lu's face with his sleeve: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Mi Lu shook his head: "I just have a bad feeling."

He stammered, and even wanted to say not to go in, let Zhou Shang and the others go in and pick Hu Luwan out.

But they have already come here, if they don't go in and meet Hu Luwan in person, it will be a little rude.

Mi Lu gritted his teeth, and decided to go in after thinking about it.

As a result, before he could speak, he was dragged back by Hu Luyan.

Mi Lu was stunned and said, "Dhu Lvyan?"

"Since you don't want to go in, then we won't go in." Hu Luyan said this without even thinking about it, and his movements of turning around were not sloppy.

"But your mother..."

Hu Luyan shouted: "Zhou Shang."

Zhou Shang, who was guarding the door, hurried over and said, "Master."

"You take her out."

"Yes."

Zhou Shang led people in.

Mi Lu and Hu Luyan waited outside for a short time, when they saw Zhou Shang hurried out with someone in his arms, and Zhou Shang, who was always indifferent to emotions, showed a rare expression of panic : "Guild Master! She, she seems to be out of breath!"
