Chapter 7: The Mirror Fights Back
The frost mirror has been rolled out for several years, and Xishuang is a little picky about customers, but if he is willing to take over the work, he will do his best. Since he came back from picking up the Suzaku, the mirror master has become more and more exquisite. If she didn't want to cause trouble, her reputation would have spread outside Tianxiu Town long ago.
Three years ago, Xishuang met the dying Suzaku at the entrance of the town and kindly gave her food. Like a fledgling, Suzaku follows closely behind him and can't shake it off. Sunset asked her where she was from and how old she was, but she couldn't remember anything. So, Xishuang silently observed for more than half a year, and found that Suzaku was simple-minded, not like cheating, and he was relieved to leave people behind.
Suzaku has a unique physique, and there is no mirror spirit in his body, but he can breathe flames in his mouth. The maintenance time is not long, use it once, at least to recuperate for a few days, the evening frost is not blindly pressed, urgent or tricky, only to call Suzaku to help. For example, last time, that rush order that looked good.
Xishuang squinted, the recent events were one after another, and she still didn't have time to find out who was trying to frame her! If it weren't for Han Sui's appearance, wouldn't she have no bones left, and the ruthlessness of killing people without seeing blood made her think of a person.
"Ah Shuang, what is Ah Shuang thinking?" Suzaku saw that the haze under her eyes was like a thick fog drowning her pupils, and hurriedly said, "Isn't it too tricky to repair?" I'll help you, I've already rested. ”
Xishuang bent her eyebrows, raised her hand and rubbed the top of Suzaku's hair: "This repair requires continuous fires, even if the Qiu family is willing to produce more spirit stones, I can't give you away." I'm fine, hurry up and make a fire. ”
Since he responded to the head of the Qiu family, Xishuang did not have the slightest carelessness, took out the best edelweiss grass in the shop, and piled it up like a hill. Then he walked over and pushed open the secret door in the wall, and the stars were in it, which were never extinguished all year round.
Suzaku sighed twice: "Ah Shuang has made a lot of money, why don't you let the Qiu family send the materials?"
Xishuang pursed the corners of her mouth, lowered her head and smiled: "Don't dare." ”
The edelweiss in her hand is carefully selected for each one, and it will not go wrong. The head of the Qiu family protects his young son like this, and there will be a tragedy of almost mass annihilation, God knows if the Qiu family has internal ghosts. If someone with ulterior motives adulterates the material, it will not only damage the reputation of the Frost Mirror Shop.
Suzaku seemed to understand whether he understood or not, opened a pair of round eyes, and helped beside him: "Ah Shuang, why do you think so much?"
"When my mother was alive, she told me a lot, and I have a good memory and have never forgotten it. "Xishuang put the selected edelweiss grass into the bottom of the furnace in the order of yin and yang. Her mother's beautiful and fragile expression appeared in front of her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were always moist, so she should be relieved that she was alone.
The fire is getting stronger and stronger, and the flames lick and show a brilliant orange-red color. Looking at it from Suzaku's point of view, the face reflecting the sunset becomes bright and dazzling, especially the eyes, which are as bright as bright stars.
Qiu Sishao's mirror spirit was packed in the mirror box, and Xishuang took a second look at it, and the damage was very serious, what kind of powerful person did she offend? Then, she steadily closed the box and put it on the shelf in the furnace, she pinched the trick with both hands, constantly changing the direction of the furnace fire, time waits for no one, it must be forged with fire first, and then refined and repaired.
Suzaku pinched the corner of her clothes, she followed the sunset frost to make the mirror for a while, but today she was extremely nervous, as if something would go wrong, and she didn't dare to ask, for fear of disturbing the rhythm.
The furnace fire is endowed with spiritual power by the mirror master, and the mirror box seems to be slowly lifted from the shelf by a pair of invisible hands, and the mottled patterns are catalyzed by the high temperature, faintly surrounded by flowing liquid, and swim around for a week.
Xishuang slowly closed his eyes, unable to see, but the mirror master's cultivation could see through the mirror box that the mirror spirit inside was also smelted, and the fine parts were closed in one place, and the thin cracks were decreasing at a slow speed.
Suzaku waved his right hand back, grabbed a box of spirit stones from the wall, walked quickly to the fireside, and poured them all down. The flames instantly devoured the spirit stone, turning into a clear azure color again, and the temperature slowly decreased.
Just as Sunset finished repairing the three cracks and was about to open his eyes, the mirror in the box suddenly vibrated violently, as if it was about to break free from the restraints and rush out.
This is a situation that has never been encountered before, and Xishuang knows very well that if the mirror spirit is out of the protection of the mirror box at this time, once it touches the open flame, Qiu Sishao's soul will be damaged immediately, and even if he does not die, he can only take a breath.
She didn't have time to think about it, so she let go of her hands and went straight into the furnace, taking the risk, holding the burn pain and holding the mirror case tightly. The mirror spirit in the box was eager to try, and was still struggling hard, and the two sides competed, no matter how good they were.
Suzaku saw Xishuang's white and greasy hands, burning the skin and flesh, and wanted to suck the fire into his body with one mouth, but Xishuang shouted loudly: "Suzaku, don't move, go back, go back." ”
She obviously held back the pain, listened to Suzaku didn't move, and shouted again: "Don't you even listen to me, back down, don't come over." There is a problem with the mirror sent by the Qiu family. ”
"Ah Shuang, I want to save you, your hand is going to be destroyed. Suzaku was too young to stand the fright, and tears fell down, "I can extinguish the fire, and your hand can still be saved." ”
"The fire is extinguished, and the four young mirrors of the Qiu family are all destroyed, and the Qiu family will not let me go. I can hold the dirt in there, don't worry. Xishuang almost gritted her teeth and said a few words, chanting again, and between opening and closing her hands, she snapped the mirror box that was about to be lifted back to its original state.
After tossing back and forth like this five or six times, the mirror spirit in the mirror box no longer had the energy to struggle. The beads of sweat on the forehead of the sunset were the size of soybeans, rolling down and quickly drying off by the fire. The corners of her lips slowly rose, and whoever made a move in it couldn't succeed now.
This account, she will slowly settle with the head of the Qiu family.
Suzaku took three or four steps back, and could only see the back of Xishuang, her shoulders were steady, and her arms were slightly extended, and if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have thought that she was in pain.
Suddenly, Suzaku heard a clanging sound behind him, and it was clear that the silver thread under the sunset cloth was bounced off. Thinking that there was a sneak attack from the bad guys, she bit her lip and felt the deadbolt from behind the door and rushed out. No matter what kind of character comes, she must protect Ah Shuang.
The deadbolt picked up a wind and was caught by the other party. Suzaku's strength is insignificant in comparison. She looked up with teary eyes, and saw Han Sui's beard with half of his face, and her heart was shocked, and she cried out.
Han Sui didn't ask anything, and touched the top of her hair with a clear face. Suzaku still looks like a little girl, combing her double round bun, his palm is warm and reliable, Suzaku stopped tears.
"Don't worry, I'll go see her. Han Sui stepped inside, leaving behind him with a silver glow, "Don't come in at the door." ”
Suzaku walked over and flicked his fingers, and the silver thread broke and fell to the ground inch by inch.
Yushuang heard footsteps behind her and was sure it wasn't Suzaku. But the people deliberately made a noise, indicating that there was no hostility at all, and Suzaku guarded the door for her, since there was no warning, it could only be Han Sui.
The mirror case was vacated a few inches again and landed on the shelf again. Xishuang directly closed the furnace mouth, only then turned around and looked at Han Sui without saying a word.
Han Sui's eyes drooped to look at her hands, which burned out of shape.
Xishuang subconsciously retracted her hand, Han Sui walked up to her unceremoniously, grabbed her shoulders and held her body: "It's all come to this point, you still want to hide!"
"Something went wrong. As soon as Xishuang spoke, her lips trembled, and her heart hurt.
"The mirror master has been with fire refining all year round, and he has his own way to heal his wounds, as long as he doesn't hurt his muscles and bones, you can cure it. Han Sui's words were straightforward and had no sympathy, "In order to prevent me, you closed the door of the furnace, and you were not afraid that the mirror box would not withstand smelting, and it would be turned directly?"
Xishuang listened to what he said, and he was an expert, so he bowed his head and kept silent.
"You can trust me, I'll help you put out the fire first. Han Sui didn't give her a chance to think about it at all, and easily moved the person to the left, pressing the other hand on the door of the stove.
Xishuang didn't see him chanting, the color of the small window next to the furnace door gradually dimmed, and the furnace fire was controlled in time and restored to the lowest line. She coughed and asked, "You also make mirrors?"
"No, it won't. Han Sui turned over again, raised his chin, and asked Xishuang to raise his burned hands flat, "The Qiu family's business is something you are sure to take." ”
Xishuang still lowered his head, and heard the sound of Han Sui's breathing above his head, just like his people, hot.
"If you don't speak, your hand can be cured? Mirror-making is a process that can be achieved overnight, you can't stop, how long can your hand last?" Han Sui could watch her cry and watch her scold, but this lukewarm appearance was really infuriating.
"The mirror spirit of the four young people of the Qiu family was broken by you. Xishuang didn't ask questions, she used a flat and straight narrative, and she was sure in her heart.
Han Sui took a big step back, scribbled his hands to his chest, caught Xishuang's gaze, and did not deny it at all: "If I say, I didn't do it at all, do you believe it or not?"
"The mirror is devoured. A wry smile appeared at the corner of Xishuang's mouth, "The spiritual power of the two is too different, you really don't have to do it, no matter how much effort he uses to deal with you, the result will be returned to him exponentially, and he won't even have a chance to struggle." ”
"I didn't mean to deceive you, but I don't want to carry this pot. Han Sui's voice was very gentle, "He was carrying people at that time and wanted to take my life. ”
"Blind his dog's eye. Xishuang took a sip, this time with a smile on her face, "Look at it, although you don't have to carry this pot, aren't you curious about what else is in the box?"
"Curious, that's why I came in. Han Sui looked at her hand again, "I have medicine." ”
"No, I have it too. Sunset snorted and walked over to the cabinet on the other side, "Help me open the doors of the six rows and four rows." ”
Han Sui did so, listened to her command again, and took out the medicine bottle. Xishuang sent his hands to him, and Han Sui crushed the round medicine bottle from a height of half a foot, and the medicine powder was evenly scattered, and the faint color seemed to be a touch of new green.
Sunset's knuckles were almost exposed, and the powder remained spherical at all times, wrapping her injured hands.
"You'll need a little time, I'll help you see what's dirty in the case. Han Sui glanced at the door, intentionally or unintentionally, "There is a little girl waiting for your news outside." ”
"Suzaku came in, and I was scared. Xishuang's words made Han Sui's shoulders shake, "I'm afraid that someone here will covet my beauty." ”
