Chapter 3: Nirvana

There was a sudden commotion outside, and someone broke in and exclaimed: "Mama, the small study is on fire, and the Hou Ye is dead!"

"How could this be!" Mama Wu was shocked and hurried out with someone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Qin E closed her eyes in despair, and her hair that was scattered all over the bed was wet with gurgling tears.

"Miss!"

Qin stared at the person with wide eyes. Round eyes, always dull when looking at people, often teased by Dongmei for being a dumb little girl.

"Nianxi, why are you here?"

Nian Xi, who was betrayed by the old lady when he returned to Qin Mansion, was actually in Jing'an Hou's Mansion.

Nian Xi showed a simple smile: "I was sold in." After thinking about it, he held Qin E's hand tightly, and said word by word: "I eavesdropped on them, and I know that they want to bully you, so I will save you." ”

Qin E burst into tears. Nianxi is not smart, and many people say that she is a fool. Because of this, he was sold by the old lady. But the fool in their mouths is now risking her to save her.

"Miss, I know the way out, let's go. Nianxi stretched out her hand to pull Qin E, and when she saw that she was not moving, she shouted again in confusion, "Miss?"

"Nianxi, I was drugged and couldn't leave. Qin E's face was cold and resolute. "Nianxi, I can't let them spoil me, you kill me. ”

Nianxi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Qin E begged bitterly. "Nianxi, I can't leave, only death can be freed, you can help me!"

There was a sound of talking outside, and Nian Xi rushed to the door and bolted it firmly from the inside.

Qin E looked sadly at Nian Xi who was in a daze. "There's no time, do it. Good girl, I will repay your kindness in the next life. ”

Someone outside slammed on the door and shouted, "Who's inside?"

Qin E's heart was in a hurry, but Nian Xi walked to the table and raised the wedding candle with the thickness of the baby's arm. Under the jumping candlelight, her eyes were clear and her face was calm.

"Miss, my life was saved by you and my young sister, I will go wherever you go. When I arrived in the underworld, I also accompanied the young lady to hide and seek, and accompanied you to divide the silk threads. If there is an afterlife, I will still serve you and the young lady. ”

After Nian Xi finished speaking, he lit the tablecloth and curtains in the room with red candles.

The raging flames immediately burst into flames, and soon reached the side of the bed. Nian Xi pounced on Qin E and firmly protected her.

"Silly boy. Qin E choked up.

Qin E listened to the screams outside the door and looked at the flames, and familiar faces flashed in front of her eyes.

Why, why do evildoers live freely, but good people don't die well?

She is unwilling, unwilling!

The endless fire seemed to burn without an end, and the room was filled with billowing black smoke, and the choking throat and eyes were hot and painful. The flames hit the body, and the painful person wanted to roll, but he couldn't move.

Qin E watched as Nian Xi's body was on fire, clothes, hair, and fingers...... The emaciated sallow face was blurred in the red flames.

"Nian Xi!

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you? Wake up. ”

Qin E sat up sweating profusely, her eyes hurt from the white sun at noon, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.

"Sister, are you alright? Don't scare me. ”

Qin E looked straight at Qin Yan, who was combing her double bun in front of her and looking nervous, and was stunned for a while before gradually relieving herself. Picking at the palm of his hand with his fingernails, he comforted her: "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." ”

Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, snuggled up and said softly: "I was frightened just now, and you didn't wake up when I called you." Sister, do you have something on your mind? I see you've been having nightmares a lot lately. ”

Qin E caressed her pale face lovingly. "I'm fine, don't worry. The weather is nice today, why didn't you play with her?"

"Sister, have you forgotten? She and Dongmei were burning charcoal in the yard. Qin Yan pursed her lips and complained: "They said it was cold outside, so they didn't let me go out." ”

Qin Yan looked outside through the crack in the window lattice, her face full of longing and hope, as if there was an amazing beauty outside.

The yellowed and old window paper, the mottled window lattices, the cold ondol, and the patched quilt. On the small kang table at the tip of the kang was a basket containing silk thread, rags, and a pair of polished shiny scissors, and under the table was an old garment that had not been repaired.

Qin E looked at the thin and small Qin Yan lying on the window, her eyes were damp.

The **** was full of despair and unwilling to die in the fire, but when he woke up, he found himself back to the old house in Liaodong Mansion three years ago. Mother and sister have not passed away, and Dongmei and Nianxi are also fine.

Qin E couldn't tell whether this was in a dream or outside a dream. If it was a dream, then she would never wake up. If it's a dream......

Qin E clenched her fists.

If this is not a dream, if she really lives again, she must cherish it and let everyone around her be safe.

"Alas!" Qin Yan suddenly exclaimed.

Qin E's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Yan said frustratedly: "It failed again, and the charcoal was not burned." ”

Qin E's heart was relieved, and she rubbed the top of her head with a smile. "Where is charcoal so good to burn, just wipe it again. But his heart was contemplative.

This was their last year in Liaodong Province, and the winter was particularly cold, but several coal mines in Shanxi Province collapsed, and the supply of coal exceeded demand, and the price of coal rose, and many people froze to death.

The Qin clan also fell into a coal shortage, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, next to the mountain bag, many families who had no money to buy coal went up the mountain to cut wood and cut firewood, but they could also support it. But no one expected that this winter would be so cold. In the end, all the dead branches and trees in the mountains were washed away, and if the patriarch had not sent someone to watch, the fruit trees in the orchard would have been cut down. Even so, the families who were very cold had several conflicts with the clan.

The winter is both cold and long, and in March it is so cold that people dare not go out of the house. Ordinary people have no food for the winter, and there is nothing to keep warm, so some infirm people do not survive the winter.

Qin Yan didn't get through it.

Qin E clearly remembered that the cold people's bones trembled that day, and the second grandmother went out to buy medicine for her mother, but she didn't come back in the evening. Dongmei secretly ran over the wall to collect firewood in the morning, and never returned. Qiu Ju took a pair of silver ear pendants to the mother-in-law guarding the door, begging them to let her go out to find the patriarch. The mother-in-law guarding the door received things but didn't let them go or look for anyone, Qiu Ju quarreled with them outside the second gate and was broken head.

There was only one Nian Xi who was less than four years old left by Qin E's side, Qiu Ju fainted again, she had to take care of her sick and groggy mother, and she had to be busy stopping Qiu Ju's bleeding, and she had to find a way to find someone, so her sister ignored it. Nianxi has always put Qin Yan first, and when she saw that she was having dinner, she touched two frozen nest heads from the stove and gave them to her, only to find out that something had happened to her.

Qin E remembered that day when she rushed over, her sister was curled up into a small ball and lay on the cold kang, her hands and feet were already cold and stiff, and she was holding the puppet she made for her in her spare time.

Qin E clutched the clothes on her chest tightly, and heartache and self-blame came overwhelmingly.

Knowing that her sister was sick and knowing that there was nothing to heat in the house, she ignored these and didn't even look at it. As a result, the well-behaved and sensible sister died silently on the kang like this.

My sister is only seven years old!

Qin E lowered her head and quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes.

Fortunately, I went back to the past and saw my sister again. This time, I must not let my sister have another accident, and she must be allowed to grow up healthy and healthy.

Qin E steadied herself and said softly to Qin Yan: "I'll go to see my mother, can I ask Nian Xi to come in and play with you?"

Qin Yan nodded obediently and said, "My sister helped me greet my mother, saying that I miss her very much, and I will go to see her when I get better in a few days, so that she can also pay attention to her body." ”

Qin Yan and Shen are not in good health and often get sick. I'm afraid that I'm too sick, and I often don't see each other for several days.

Qin E touched her head lovingly, promising to bring the words.
