The vicious villain is in luck again

The momentum that erupted from Shen Zhi shocked Father Hang to the spot.

He opened his mouth, but all the words he wanted to say were forced back into his throat by Shen Zhi's deeply emotional words.

Father Hang subconsciously felt that he should not say anything more at this time.

An Ran looked at Shen Zhi one more time.

His body was trembling slightly, the hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and his cheeks were tense, and it was obvious that he was biting them tightly with excessive force, as if he was enduring some unbearable pain.

Looking at him like this, it doesn't look like he's cheating.

But, who knows?

You can know people but not their hearts. What's more, even a mind-reader like Ji Yunyang can do it. Is there anything in this world that is truly reliable?

Maybe even her current state is not a completely real state.

But it doesn't matter, at least it doesn't matter to her at the moment.

An Ran looked at Hang's father, Hang's mother and Hang Jin'an who were motionless, and laughed suddenly.

She stood up from the stool, stretched out her fingertips and waved them in front of Shen Zhi, "Come here with me."

An Ran walked towards the path behind the hall.

When Shen Zhi heard what she said, he packed up his sudden burst of emotions and followed her.

He thought An Ran had something to hide, as she said in front of everyone in the hall, she was scared, or she had other ideas.

It's also possible that it was for the sake of her family, and she was afraid that if she ran away so hastily, her family would be harmed.

After all, An Ran has always valued her family the most, right?

She was hesitant at first, but after he told her the plan of Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind to follow the development of the situation and look for opportunities to escape.

An Ran hid behind a clump of bamboo and waited for Shen Zhi to come over. She looked around cautiously, and seeing no one there, she asked Shen Zhi bluntly, "How much do you know about ghost marriage? I know. How many things? How did I discuss it with you?"

"What?" Shen Zhi was confused by An Ran's question.

"An Ran, what's wrong with you?" He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, "Didn't we already agree on these things before? Why do you seem to have no idea now?"

To his surprise, An Ran nodded calmly, with a calm expression, "Yes, I don't even know."

"Or should I say." She paused, "I forgot."

The moment Shen Zhi heard An Ran's words, his mind went blank.

Then a huge feeling of disbelief came to his mind. He took two steps back in disbelief and looked at An Ran up and down, "Have you forgotten?"

Facing Shen Zhi's obviously unacceptable reaction, An Ran remained calm and replied calmly, "Last night I woke up in a daze from the coffin, and I encountered the people carrying the coffin searching around for the contents of the coffin. jewelry, and when they saw me waking up, they were so frightened that they ran away."

"The one named Lao Si may have been timid and fainted on the spot."

An Ran said, "I remember who I am, my father, mother and Hang Jinan, but I really don't remember anything else."

"I only asked the fourth child a few words, and I barely understood what my current situation was from his mouth. Thanks to him, I was able to go home smoothly last night."

As An Ran spoke in an orderly manner, Shen Zhi's surprise just now dissipated a little. He also looked around like An Ran. When he saw no one on either side, he approached An Ran and asked, "Do they know about this?"

This "them", of course, refers to Hang Anran's relatives.

An Ran shook her head quietly, "When I came back last night, I thought it would be a peaceful scene no matter what, but I didn't expect that my father and brother would tie me back to the mountain again."

"It really chills my heart that they behave like this when they don't know that I have lost my memory. If they know that I have lost my memory, I don't know when they will try to trick me."

Listening to An Ran's calm words, Shen Zhi's face showed a distressed look.

He gently held An Ran's hand and said, "An Ran, you have suffered."

Shen Zhi looked sickly. An Ran thought his body temperature would be as low as that of a sick person, but she didn't expect that his hands were extremely warm.

Her hand was held by him, as if it were being simmered by a small stove wrapped in several layers of cloth, making her feel a little uneasy for no reason.

An Ran could clearly feel Shen Zhi's sincerity.

He really wanted to be with her.

But An Ran, who was born with a lack of love, was not very adaptable to this kind of tender heartache.

She smiled and slowly took her hand out of Shen Zhi's hand, taking the opportunity to touch Tiandao's hair without letting him feel too much resistance and rejection.

But this is inevitable.

How could Shen Zhi, who cares so much about Hang Anran, miss her reaction?

He felt something was wrong with An Ran from the moment he walked in, because the way she looked at him couldn't be described as loving, especially at the beginning, it was worse than a stranger.

When An Ran said that she had lost her memory, he was able to understand her changes before and after.

But when he noticed An Ran's coldness and alienation, he still inevitably felt a twinge of pain and sadness in his heart.

An Ran didn't let Shen Zhi indulge in such emotions for too long.

She said: "I didn't go to the tomb last night. The Ye family will definitely be aware of it and will come here today to inquire about the situation. You can cut the story short and tell me what happened before so that I can be prepared."

"Okay." Shen Zhi suppressed all his thoughts and concentrated on telling An Ran the important part of her memory that was lost.

"Let me start with the strange things about Ye Junlan that you told me after you carried Ye Junlan down the mountain."

An Ran and Tiandao in his arms pricked up their ears and focused all their attention on Shen Zhi in front of them.

"After the news of Ye Junlan's death came out, you told me that Ye Junlan had been dead a long time ago."

"He had no heartbeat, no pulse, and his whole body was as cold as a corpse, but other than that, there was nothing about him that looked like a dead person."

"But he is different from ordinary corpses. He is breathing."

"When you looked at him at that time, although he was covered in blood, upon closer inspection, there was no wound on his body that would bleed profusely. Therefore, you concluded that the blood on Ye Junlan's body was not his own."

"Also, even though Ye Junlan was unconscious at the time, it didn't look like he was poisoned or shot. Instead, it looked more like he had fallen into a deep sleep naturally."

Shen Zhi looked solemn, "An Ran, tell me, Ye Junlan is most likely a living dead."

"Living dead?" An Ran didn't expect that Hang Anran, a medicine girl, would know about "living dead".

But judging from Ye Junlan's various performances, it is indeed possible that he is a living dead and is being controlled by humans.

The living dead, as the name suggests, are people in a state between life and death. They have no heartbeat or pulse, and their bodies are as cold as corpses, but they can breathe and can even move and eat like normal people.

The more critical point is that the living dead are often not created naturally, but are created artificially.

The person who becomes the living dead is often because he is infinitely close to death and cannot be saved. In order to preserve his life state, he is sealed with magic to keep his appearance at that time.

But for the general public, it is something that disrupts the laws of heaven and earth and the order of reincarnation. Therefore, this kind of magic and practice is not openly allowed, and the magic that plays a corresponding role is also classified as evil magic.

Obviously, according to the current situation, it is possible that Ye Junlan has died long ago, but his parents used some means to turn him into a living dead in order to keep him.

As for the relationship with Hang Anran, it's probably because the Ye family's parents want Ye Junlan to transform from the living dead into a real human being.

After all, Hang Anran is a girl born in the legendary yin year, yin month, yin time. Whether it is a yin year, yin month, yin time, or a yang year, yang month, yang time, it will arouse people's infinite reverie. They always feel that those born at these two points in time

There is something even more special about children.

But An Ran, who is the incarnation of heaven, said that there is really no difference.

This is just a birth that happens to happen at this moment. There will be no talent bonus at this time, nor will there be any other changes. The blood is also normal blood, and there is no possibility of anything extra.

However, people in the world are always obsessed with realizing it.

What Shen Zhi later found out through his connections also confirmed Hang Anran's guess.

Ye Junlan is indeed a living dead, and many similar things have happened to the ancestors of the Ye family.

In other words, the living dead will appear in the Ye family. This is a tradition.

Their tradition is that at a certain moment, they will secretly send people to find the families of girls born in the lunar month of the lunar month, and perform ghost marriages with the so-called Ye family members who have been declared dead, and send each girl's family to

In their tomb on the mountain.

That tomb is independent of the Ye family's ancestral tomb, and is specially prepared for these newlyweds who are married in the dark. There is nothing in it, it is just an empty tomb.

In the past history, some of the brides who were sent to the mountains were dead, and some were still alive. Those who had passed away could naturally do whatever they wanted, but for those who were still alive, there was an implicit rule.

If the newlyweds stayed peacefully in the tomb for one night and walked out of the tomb in full body the next day, she would have completed all the ghost wedding ceremonies and could officially become a member of the Ye family.

It sounds really tempting.

After spending one night in an empty tomb, you can enjoy the glory and wealth of the Ye family from now on. Many people would want to give it a try.

But the key is, can they come out alive?

"As far as I know, no one can walk out of that empty tomb alive." Shen Zhi told An Ran with a frown.

An Ran was not surprised by this.

Isn't it? The tomb is a huge magic circle, waiting for living people to enter. Who can ordinary people come out alive?

Hang Anran is already extraordinary in himself.

Although Anran had not thought about the magic circle carefully, she had an intuition that it should not be common for Hang Anran to emerge from the grave as a ghost.

The others should just be absorbed as nutrients to support the living dead, while Hang Anran still retains his own independent individuality.

So what is special about Hang Anran?

An Ran looked at her body.

Although this is her own body, Hang Anran's characteristics will appear like a replica.

And Shen Zhi's next words gave her the answer.

"An Ran, do you still remember how you rescued me three years ago?" Shen Zhi asked her.

Nonsense, of course she doesn't know.

An Ran shook his head neatly, "Just tell me."

Shen Zhi took a deep breath, gently grabbed An Ran's wrist, and lifted it up, "You secretly drained your own blood and fed it to me."

"An Ran, your blood can save people."
