Chapter 240: Only Alive

Before the two of them could walk up for a while, there was a crackling sound in front of them.

Liluo slowed down his steps, frowning slightly, just when he hesitated, Gu Xiqian's face changed, and he secretly said that it was not good, and he walked forward quickly.

Billowing black smoke rose in the distance, and combined with the sound of the sound and the slight footsteps, it looked like someone had set fire to the forest.

"This smoke is different!" Liluo wanted to speak, but he inhaled it in one breath, and suddenly reminded him sharply, "Hold your breath!"

However, Gu Xiqian did not stop, and walked straight in the direction of the smoke. She was depressed and annoyed, and hurriedly chased after her, and when she arrived, she found that the position she had reached was completely an open space.

The scholar didn't know what to scoop out of his bosom and extinguished the fire. So much so that all she could see was the charred and curling vegetation on the grass and the black smoke that had not yet dissipated...... and the boy standing with his head bowed on the side.

"Kyoko?!"

"You're arson here?!"

She ran up to the boy, put her arm on his shoulder, and half-crouched to look at him, but the boy pursed his lips tightly and tilted his head to one side, not responding.

For a while, Liluo was anxious and angry in his heart, and subconsciously looked up at Gu Xiqian, but found that he stopped in place, looking around thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing this look, he paused, and the disobedience he had just ignored surged up again.

Almost instantly, her eyes fell on the blades of grass around her.

"What kind of ...... is this" Liluo picked up one, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and a strong beast-like aggressive breath came to his nose. Her body seemed to stand still for a second, so that the depression in her chest once again reminded her of her presence in a way that could not be ignored.

This moment of ignorance made her choke suddenly, and then there was a strong disbelief in her voice, "Demon beast?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, as if to confirm her statement, a crack seemed to be torn open in the air, and the sound of a monster roaring could be faintly heard in it.

"It's not a place to stay long, we need to get out of here. Gu Xiqian grabbed Liluo, and then pulled Jingzi with one hand, running back and forth.

When he got out of the island and returned to the town, the Jingzi family that he had agreed with Lu Haizhu was still full of surprise. I couldn't wait to look back at Kyoko, but I could only see the stunned and the horror that remained in the boy's face.

He doesn't know......

"Kyoko, you can make it easy for us to find! Where the hell have you been!"

Lu Haizhu saw them at a glance and hurriedly asked about the boy, and at this time, Jingzi also had a cold little face again and did not say a word.

"We found him at the fishing island. ”

"Fish Island?"

"Hmm. The scholar replied softly, "I just saw that Jingzi wanted to set fire to the forest, but fortunately stopped it in time." ”

"Kyoko?" Lu Haizhu's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly smelled the smell of fireworks from his clothes, and wanted to try to ask, but the boy pursed his lips stubbornly and didn't speak.

Lu Haizhu made a bitter face, looked at the sky, and then looked at the boy who was facing him, and seemed quite helpless.

"Changli ......," she whispered apologetically, "This place may have to be handed over to you first, my father and mother asked me to go back early today, saying that there is a guest ......"

Liluo knew that Lu Haizhu had been relieved of this bereaved child these days, so he nodded, anyway, there was still some time left before the time set by the senior brother at this time, "It's okay, Sister Haizhu, you go first, I will settle here." ”

Lu Haizhu smiled gratefully, gestured at Gu Xiqian, touched the head of Jingzi, who still hadn't spoken, sighed and turned to leave.

……

"It doesn't seem to be a big deal here, so I'll go back first. ”

Gu Xiqian nodded with a chuckle, and was about to take a step, but was stopped by Liluo.

"Sir, wait!"

"What's the matter, girl, do you want to help me?"

Li Cheng looked at the gentle scholar in front of him steadily, bowed his hand, and considered it slightly, "There are indeed some things that are unclear, and I want to ask Mr. to solve my doubts." ”

The other party smiled as if he understood what he said next, "Gu Mou is just an outsider from this Xiyue Town in the end, and if the girl wants to ask, I'm afraid I can't help here." ”

"But...... The girl may be able to think about what Gu said last time. ”

After finishing speaking, he left, leaving only a thoughtful look at his back, slightly narrowed his eyes.

In the fishing island, she always felt that the other party was not a simple worldly person, but a ......

……

From the scorching sun until dusk, the boy stood motionless and straight out of the window, rather stubbornly silent, without the slightest intention of explaining why he had set fire to the fishing island.

The shadow was stretched long, in this dilapidated house. Through the windows, as night approached, the hustle and bustle once again filled the town, and a little lantern was lit.

"I always thought you were different. Liluo sighed softly, and the silence was suddenly broken.

The boy didn't say anything, but the hand at his side moved slightly.

"Although life in the future is not easy, I always thought that you would live well. ”

"But I didn't expect you to have the idea of suicide. ”

"You say, if your grandfather saw this in the spirit of heaven, would he be able to rest in peace?"

Liluo's expression was faint, and he put down his words and prepared to leave, just when he crossed the door.

"I didn't think about suicide!"

Kyoko shouted behind her, however, when she turned her eyes, her lips twitched twice, but she didn't say a word.

The night breeze brought the coolness of the river and blew on the two people sitting on the roof.

Kyoko carefully looked at the girl in the distance with her knees hugging her knees, feeling a little worried in her heart, and she didn't understand why she brought him here.

"Is it beautiful?"

"Huh?" he subconsciously responded.

"Do you see how beautiful it is?"

He followed her gaze.

When night falls, each house lights up its lanterns, and the lanterns on the street surround the town like a long dragon. The stars float slightly above the waves, dotted with the flowing water around them, like a galaxy, corresponding to the bright moon in the night sky. Occasional fireworks, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd, bloom in the air, colorful and lively.

This is the most beautiful day of the year in their Xiyue Town.

"Beautiful. He said in a low voice.

"Have you seen enough?"

The boy shook his head, but a sneer rang in his ears.

"If you can't see enough, don't think about the uselessness. ”

"Only by living well and surviving can we have the opportunity to watch forever. ”

The words that followed dissipated lightly, like broken babbles, on the girl's lips. He turned his head to look and saw the girl's eyes heavy, as if she had not said anything.
