Chu Chenan felt that he could not move, his hands were tied and a biting coldness surrounded his body.
"An An."
“An An…”
"I miss you so much."
Lan Huai's cold voice kept ringing in Chu Chenan's ears. Chu Chenan could only immerse himself in the chaotic darkness and could not escape.
Chu Chenan sat up with sweat all over his forehead. He had nightmares all night long.
The feeling of sleep paralysis is not pleasant.
But the dream was so real that he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
"woke up?"
Chu Chenan looked up in surprise, and was caught off guard by the pair of enchanting green eyes.
...
...
Lan Xu sat on a bamboo chair not far away, his eyebrows curved with a smile, and the silver bells on his purple clothes made two crisp sounds, like a bewitching leash.
"Why are you here?"
Chu Chenan was very frightened because the Lan Xu and Lan Huai in front of him looked exactly the same.
This is his room, how could Lan Xu come in suddenly?
He looked at Lan Xu warily and clenched the quilt in his hands.
Lan Xu was very good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, and his facial features had the depth that was unique to foreigners.
"Sorry, I forgot to explain it to you." He smiled harmlessly, "Your classmates said you seemed to have a fever, and there was no cold medicine in the B&B, so you came next door to ask me for help. I boiled some herbal medicine and applied ice to you for a while, and your fever has gone down now."
Chu Chenan looked down at his watch. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
He raised his hand and touched his forehead, which was indeed cold. On the bedside was a bag of ice medicine emitting a cool and refreshing fragrance.
No wonder he had such a severe headache last night.
It turned out to be a fever.
Chu Chenan lowered his head and could only thank him politely, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Did you catch a cold last night? You were shivering the whole time." Lan Xu crossed his arms and said, "It's cold in the village at night. Remember to cover yourself with a blanket at night."
Chu Chenan nodded. He let down his guard slightly when he saw Lan Xu's clear gaze. Lan Xu's smile looked warm and clean, with a purity and charm that was unique to aliens.
But he still didn't dare to look at Lan Xu, didn't dare to look at the face that looked exactly like Lan Huai.
Although their personalities are completely opposite.
Lan Huai is cold and sinister, while Lan Xu is bright and generous.
As Chu Chenan lowered his eyes, a crystal clear bead of sweat slid from his cheek to his chin, and his pink lips were shining with a moist luster.
Tempting and white.
Lan Xu smiled and stared at Chu Chenan's handsome face for a long time.
After Chu Chenan noticed his direct gaze, Lan Xu said, "Your classmate has gone to serve soup and should be back soon. I'll go back first, and you should have a good rest."
Chu Chenan nodded blankly and said okay.
After Lan Xu left, the system's mechanical voice automatically sounded:

001 said it lightly as he looked at the dark sky outside the bamboo building.
He always felt that things were not that easy.
He Xuesheng came back with the soup. His hair reached his shoulders. He was an art student in the same class as him and he had a good relationship with him.
"Chen An, are you awake?"
He Xuesheng sat at the head of his bed. "When I came to call you this morning, you had kept the door closed. It was past midnight and there was no movement. When I opened the door, I saw your face was red. I was scared to death. I almost thought you were possessed! There's not even any cold medicine in this crappy B&B. Luckily, Lan Xu has some herbs for ice compresses... The medicine is really magical. You'll be fine in a short while."
He Xuesheng is a chatterbox. As long as the other party doesn't say anything, he will keep talking like a train.
"Well, I'm much better now." Chu Chenan brought the hot soup, "Thank you, Xuesheng."
"Hey, you're welcome. I just helped bring a bowl of soup."
He Xuesheng touched his nose and said, "Today, Lao Liang and his friends carried their cameras to the mountains. They said they were going to take some photos of the mountains. Didn't you say you wanted to go and take a look? It would be a pity if you didn't go with them."
Lao Liang was the director who came to shoot the film, and there were three people from the crew following him.
"Did they go there early in the morning?" Chu Chenan asked.
"Yes," He Xuesheng looked back at the window and said softly, "But do you feel that... the people here are very strange?"
Chu Chenan nodded, he felt the same way.
"I feel like they never even looked at us. Their eyes were like knives hidden in our throats. They were terrifying." He Xuesheng scratched his hair, "Except for Lan Xu."
When it comes to Lan Xu, Chu Chenan's heart suddenly skips a beat.
He couldn't help but recall the nightmare he had last night and Lan Huai's sinister eyes.
"I felt the same way," he asked. "Why didn't you go with them?"
He Xuesheng shook his head and smiled, "I'm not interested in those. I came here purely to see the mountains and play in the water, and to do two sketching assignments."
Chu Chenan also laughed and turned to drink his soup with his thoughts in a mess.
Lan Xu.
Lan Huai...
What is the relationship between them?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I went downstairs for a walk this morning and walked to a clan temple. The door was filled with yellow and green talismans. I stood at the door and took a closer look. Do you know what happened? I saw an old woman coming out with a basin of blood. It smelled as bloody as human blood!" He Xuesheng's tone was spot on, and he explained, "Later, Lan Xu told me that it was the blood of a deer killed for sacrifice."
Chu Chenan held the bowl and listened to him with wide eyes.
Echoed earnestly, "Oh my god."
He Xuesheng frowned again and muttered, "But I've been drinking deer blood for more than half a year, and the taste of deer blood is not that strong."
Fortunately, He Xuesheng was calm and had put his worries behind him. He said, "Let's go to the top of the mountain to sketch. When I was taking a walk, I found a flower field there, especially the Botipho."
Chu Chenan responded with a smile.
"good."
…
On the way out, many foreign women looked at them coldly. The way they looked at them was cold and rejecting, which made He Xuesheng and Chu Chenan speed up their pace.
They walked up the mountain road and came to a rugged hillside. Further down was a wide field of colorful flowers.
Just by standing in the distance, they could smell the mysterious and alluring fragrance.
The smell makes people want to get closer.
He Xuesheng squinted his eyes and couldn't help but sniff it a little more. The faint fragrance of the flowers seemed to hook his heart.
He suggested: "Let's go down and paint."
"Okay." Chu Chenan also wanted to take a closer look.
They put down the easel and equipment near the flower field, and Chu Chenan's eyes wandered around the gorgeous flowers.
What a nice view.
He Xuesheng put down his easel and couldn't help but walk into the flower field. He carefully picked the most beautiful flower and put it to his nose to sniff.
The delicate fragrance of flowers hooked his heart and led him deeper into the world.
…
Chu Chenan set up the easel at this time.
His identity is a college student born in an artistic family, and the system automatically gave him the skill of painting.
Moreover, Chen Wang taught him how to draw in the second copy.
It was not difficult for him to paint an oil painting; he only needed a few strokes.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw that He Xuesheng had disappeared into the distance.
Disappeared in the bright red flower field.
Chu Chenan quickly stood up, pushed aside the branches and went into the flower field to look for him.
"He Xuesheng, where are you?"
His voice echoed in the vast flower field, but received no response.
Chu Chenan looked around at the deserted surroundings and suddenly felt a little panicked.
How could such a good person disappear out of thin air?
He searched for a long time in the flower field but couldn't find it, so he had to go out of the field to ask for help.
After he got out of the flower field, he found that he was not on the hillside just now, but came to a small path.
The mountain roadsides are also full of beautiful flowers.
The alluring floral scent seemed to be confusing his judgment, and Chu Chenan could no longer find the direction he was heading.
He is lost.
He couldn't help but start to feel anxious.
He could only walk down the path. Gradually, the fragrance of flowers filled his nostrils, and he uncontrollably walked into the dense forest.
…
Suddenly, the wind blew up, and the road ahead of Chu Chenan was cut off in front of a tall cave.
The stone door of the cave was half open.
He saw a corner of Lan Xu's purple clothes, and Lan Xu's silver bell rang a few more times.
In front of Lan Xu...
It is a huge double ice coffin.
Chu Chenan's eyes froze, and he didn't dare to move forward anymore.
Before he turned around, Lan Xu looked back and noticed him.
Lan Xu smiled, revealing his neat white teeth, and said, "You seem to be the second person to come and pay tribute to my brother."
Chu Chenan clenched his palms.
younger brother?
impossible.
Why didn't he know Lan Huai had a younger brother before?
"Why are you here?" Lan Xu waited patiently for his reply.
"My classmate disappeared in a flower field, and I wanted to go out to find someone to help," Chu Chenan said, lowering his eyes and grasping his fingers, "...but I got lost."
Lan Xu laughed at Chu Chenan's cute little gesture, "Then wait a moment, I'll take you out to look for it."
Chu Chenan nodded, "Okay."
He didn't understand why Lan Xu was laughing.
"Before that, can you come in and help?" Lan Xu looked at him with his green eyes.
Although Chu Chenan was extremely reluctant, he still had to respond, "Okay."
He went into the cave.
The cave was very large, with neatly arranged talisman papers and various strange decorations. The ice coffin in the center exuded a chill.
That was his body as Chen Anshi.
The person lying next to him... is Lan Huai.
"Pour the wine into this bowl for me. I'll go change the talisman paper." Lan Xu said as he handed him the white porcelain wine bottle.
Chu Chenan took it and suppressed his trembling hands. He didn't dare to look at the person in the ice coffin. He lowered his head and carefully poured a bowl of wine.
At that time, he didn't know the meaning of pouring wine for the dead during the worship of other ethnic groups.
He held the bowl of wine in his hand and placed it carefully on the altar.
Gray portraits of Chen An and Lan Huai were placed on the altar.
He stared blankly at Lan Huai's portrait and suddenly asked, "You just said... you are Lan Huai's younger brother?"
"Well, I went to the city before and only came back in recent years." Lan Xu walked towards him, stared at him and said, "The one next to you is my sister-in-law."
The word "sister-in-law" gave him goose bumps all over his body.
Chu Chenan also looked at Chen An again, "Oh..."
"Isn't it beautiful?" Lan Xu said with a smile, with a hint of pride and special meaning in his tone.
Chu Chenan felt that his charming and bright smile was a little dazzling.
He lowered his eyes, then smiled uncomfortably, and could only bite the bullet and praise himself, "Yeah, it looks good."
However, who would praise his sister-in-law for being so beautiful?
Lan Xu added, "He is also my wife."
Chu Chenan's miserable smile froze, and his eyes were stunned.
"You...what did you say?"
"We foreigners can have ghost marriages," Lan Xu stared at Chu Chenan's trembling eyes, smiling with curved eyebrows and a light tone, "We can also marry my sister-in-law."
Chu Chenan glanced at the ice coffin in panic, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
"When my sister-in-law comes back, we can still have a wedding." Lan Xu continued sweetly.
Chu Chenan stood there in a daze.
He inexplicably got a husband?
This is definitely the most outrageous custom Chu Chenan has ever heard of.
