480 - Guilt

As soon as he thought of this question, Ah Zai couldn't help but breathe and became short, nervous, almost written on his face.

Seeing him like this, Ah Niu just thought that Ah Zai also thought of the fire in the Eastern Plains that Ji Thief had said, and how serious the consequences were. He trusts Ah Zheng, and he has no superfluous thoughts at all.

"Ah, quick, come with me and see what's going on!"

Ah Niu said urgently.

"Don't be a cow!"

Seeing that Ah Niu was going, Ah Zhai grabbed him with a hurry.

At that moment, Ah Niu turned his head in confusion and looked at Ah Zai in confusion, and he didn't know why Ah Zai was stopping him.

I saw that Ah Zai lowered his head and snorted for a while, and finally said in a high voice: "I, I've seen it, it's okay there." ”

Ah Niu couldn't help frowning: "It's okay?"

Ah Zai nodded: "Yes, it's okay, I'm sure." ”

"Have you really seen it, and why is there smoke rising?" said Ah Niu, pointing into the distance.

Ah Zai looked up at Ah Niu in surprise.

Ah Niu pushed Ah Zai away: "Ah Zai, this is not a trivial matter, the patriarch said what the consequences would be if there was a fire in the wild." ”

As he spoke, Ah Niu was about to walk forward, and as soon as he took a step, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked back at Ah Zai with a strange face.

Being stared at by Ah Niu like this, Ah Zai couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.

"Ah, tell me the truth, did you start the fire just now?"

Ah Zheng hurriedly shook his head: "How is it possible! Am I that kind of person? I don't know who started the fire, and I only passed when I saw smoke." And, I promise to put out the fire before I come back. ”

"Then why is there still smoke?"

Ah Zai shook his head: "I don't know about this." ”

"Ah, if it's a fire you lit, it's nothing, just say it, and we'll put it out. But you can't lie. Ah Niu sighed and said.

He really didn't wronged Ah Zai, the fire was really lit by Ah Zai, after all, it was Ah Zai's cooking in a copper pot.

Although the truth is so, it is impossible for Ah Zheng to admit it.

If he says it, then a new problem arises, why do you want to light a fire for no reason?

It's something that can't be explained at all.

"Okay, if you don't worry, let's go and have another look. Gritting his teeth, Ah Zheng said directly.

When this sentence came out of his mouth, Ah Zai couldn't help but think to himself, at this point, Mulian should have left.

Seeing Ah Zai say this, Ah Niu turned around and said to the clansmen who came out with him: "Let's go!"

As he spoke, the crowd rushed in the direction of the smoke.

After walking for ten minutes, I saw that the smoke had become much smaller, and after walking for a while, there was no smoke in the air.

Ah Zai also said to Ah Niu: "Look, I'm not lying, I really have already put out the fire, otherwise, why would I be so embarrassed?"

Ah Niu was just puzzled in his heart, and said in his heart, does this fire have nothing to do with Ah Zheng?

Although it is said that Ah Liang did not have the habit of roasting meat when he went out hunting, because he always carried the food he ate at noon with him. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the people below will not do this.

It's better to take a look.

Finally came to the place where the smoke came from, Ah Niu checked left and right, and after a while of searching, he found out the pit where Ah Zai and Mulian had a private meeting.

From the time he came to this place, Ah Zai's heart has been hanging, and when Ah Niu himself burrowed into the pit, Ah Zai couldn't help but want to stop him.

But Ah Niu's movements were too fast, and when Ah Zhai was about to shout, Ah Niu had already entered.

"Mulian, Mulian, you must not be in it!"

Frightened to close his eyes, Ah Zai couldn't help but pray in his heart.

A moment later, Ah Niu came out of the pit, his face gloomy.

"How about Ah Niu, did you find anything?" Seeing Ah Niu's expression, Ah Niu's heart was broken, and his heart was broken, shouldn't Mulian have left yet?

"I found this inside. ”

As he spoke, Ah Niu raised his hand and took out a piece of animal skin.

Seeing this, Ah Zai couldn't help but be stunned, and then, his eyes widened suddenly.

This animal skin was worn by him a few days ago.

Sure enough, I saw Ah Niu and asked, "Ah Zheng, why is the animal skin on your body in this place?"

"Ahem. Ah Zheng, who didn't know how to answer, hurriedly coughed, taking advantage of such a moment, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to answer Ah Niu's question.

"Well, didn't I tell you, I just put out the fire, I must have used animal skins to shoot the fire, I don't know why it fell here. ”

Ah Zheng said.

Ah Niu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, could it be that Ah Zai was really putting out the fire just now?

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of people came running out of breath in the distance.

If you look closely, it was the thief who came with Tushan and more than a dozen members of the military fighting department.

"Patriarch!"

Seeing the thief, everyone turned around and shouted respectfully at him.

Ji Thief gasped heavily: "Damn, I'm tired of being so far away, Ah Niu, you let people come to me and say that there was a fire, how is the situation?"

Ah Niu turned around and looked behind him without a glance.

Ji Thief sighed and took a few steps forward: "Where's the fire?"

Ah Niu pointed at Ah Zai and said, "Ah Zai has been extinguished." ”

"Why are you here?"

"Patriarch. ”

In the face of the thief, Ah Zai always felt a little guilty in his heart, first, because the thief was so good to him, but he disobeyed the order of the thief. Second, it was because he lied to the thief.

"Tushan is looking for you today, and you're not here, so shouldn't you just come over to put out the fire? Ji Thief turned his head to look at Ah Zai and asked.

Hearing this, Ah Zheng was stunned: "Tushan is looking for me?"

Ji Thief nodded: "Isn't that Usma sick and no one cooperates with me, I want to think about it, and you can keep up with my thoughts in the tribe, but unfortunately I didn't find you, it turns out that you came here to put out the fire." ”

The more Ji Thief said this, the more Azai lowered his head in shame.

"Okay, now that it's okay, it's okay, let people have a false alarm. At this point, you did a good job. Ji Thief complimented.

Ah Zheng's head was buried even lower.

His face was hot, and his heart was ashamed.

Everyone just thought that Ah Zai was shy, and Ji Thief was even more so, he stepped forward and patted Ah Zai on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter, you were so embarrassed when you praised you before, why are you the same as Usma before?"

Ah Zai reluctantly raised his face: "No, there are no patriarchs." ”

When he said this, Ah Zheng only hesitated in his heart.

Ji Thief trusted him so much, so Ah Zai fell into a deep entanglement for a while, in fact, he really wanted to tell Ji Thief the truth of the matter.

But if she said it herself, Mulian would never be able to live.

As one of the most valued and trusted people by Ji Thief, Ah Zai knows how far the Ji Thief's dislike for Mulian has reached.

On the one hand, he felt sorry for the thief, and on the other hand, he was reluctant to Mu Lian, so he could only fall into an endless circle of death.

"But then again, how can this good eastern plain catch fire? Could it be that Ah Liang's hunting department has made some moths? No, when he comes back, I have to talk about him well. Ji Thief pinched his chin and muttered.

No one could hear what was coming out of his mouth.

"Ah Niu. The thief shouted.

Ah Niu stepped forward when he heard this: "Patriarch." ”

Ji Thief pointed to the vicinity of the pit and said, "Fill this pit, and check it out nearby to make sure there are no sparks or anything like that." ”

Ah Niu nodded yes.

At this time, the thief turned around, glanced at Ah Zheng, and said meaningfully: "Let's go back." ”

Catching up with the thief's gaze, Ah Zheng suddenly couldn't help but panic in his heart.

I don't know if it's my own delusion.,Ah Zai always felt that the thief seemed to know something.。

It is also possible that this is an illusion caused by his own weakness, or it is also possible that the thief really knows something.

After all, Ji Thief is the only person who has great wisdom and is unfathomable.

For me, this feeling is like a dirt slope looking up at a mountain, and it is impossible to climb.

Nodding slightly, Ah Zai followed behind the thief.

Seeing the awkward appearance of Ah Zai when he acted, Ji Thief couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart, Ah Zai, what's wrong?

The thief, who had never suspected that there was something wrong with Ah Zheng, couldn't help but shake his head and walked in the direction of the tribe.
