16. Chapter 16

"Girl, it's getting dark, go to bed early, don't get tired of your eyes. Mama Liu lifted the curtain and walked into the east room, seeing that Tang Yu was still copying the scriptures, she persuaded with concern, and after speaking, she whispered to Mo Lan, "You are waiting by the girl's side, why don't you persuade me?" If I don't come over to take a look, do you plan to continue to write down by the girl?"

Mo Lan wanted to argue, and in response to Mama Liu's displeased gaze, she pursed her lips and bent her knees to admit her mistake: "It's the slave who is derelict in her duties." ”

When the girl was eleven years old, Rong took advantage of the Hou Ye to bully the girl, and wronged the girl for stealing her things in front of a room of guests. As soon as Mama Liu entered the house, she was immediately shocked that the Rong family did not dare to make it bad, and then taught all her skills to the girl. Capable and respectful of the girl, she has never relied on the old and sold the old, the girl trusts Mama Liu very much, and even the Hou Ye is polite to Mama Liu for three points, how can she talk back casually.

"Mama, it's me who doesn't listen to persuasion, don't blame Mo Lan. Tang Yu put down the pen and motioned with his eyes to Mo Lan to come over and clean up the desk.

"You just protect her, she and Huilan are getting more and more out of place. Mama Liu smiled and said with a smile, amiable, her eyes fell on a candlestick, she suddenly frowned, and said as she walked over: "Look at the candles used so fast here, are you staying up late to read again?" girl, don't think I'm verbose, people's eyes can't help but be tired, if you're sick, you'll be fine, your eyes are broken, you won't be able to cure them in the future, you have to squint at things far away, do you want to become like that?"

The old man cared about people a lot, but it was all out of kindness, Tang Yu nodded again and again, and repeatedly promised that he would go to bed early tonight.

Mama Liu nodded, moved the candlestick slightly inside, and before turning around, her hand quickly wiped along the top layer of the candle.

Tang Yu and Mo Lan sent her out together, Mo Lan told the little maid to prepare water, and she accompanied the girl for a walk in the yard.

There was a red cloud left in the sky in the west, Tang Yu looked into the distance, and when the clouds turned dark, she retracted her gaze and went back to the house to wash.

The wind was cool in the mountains at night, Mo Lan closed the windows one by one, the candlelight in the room was warm and soft, Tang Yu leaned on the head of the bed after wiping his feet, and habitually took a book to read, but tonight sleepiness came early, and he was tired without reading two pages, Tang Yu covered his face with his hands, closed the book, and whispered to Mo Lan, who was sitting on the embroidery stool sewing a purse: "Sleep." ”

Mo Lan was surprised and delighted, the girl went to bed early, so she didn't have to worry about the girl's bad eyes, let alone that she was scolded by Mama Liu.

Helping the girl put down the gauze tent and cover it, Mo Lan carried a lamp to blow out the candlestick, and when she walked out, she couldn't help but yawn a lot.

Both the master and the servant slept.

In the east wing, the little maid Xiu'er saw that the light in the upper room was dimmed, and walked to the door of the inner room and replied, "Mama, the girl is resting." ”

"Well, you can sleep too. ”

Mama Liu's sleepy voice came from inside, and Xiu'er answered and went to sleep on the couch outside with satisfaction.

In the inner room, Mama Liu got off the bed, dressed well, she knelt on the futon that had been prepared a long time ago, and chanted silently. Everyone has their own fate, and she can't help it, so she just asks the Buddha to punish her less in the future for the sake of serving the eldest girl with all her heart in the past few years, and for the sake of her leniency to Xiu'er.

I don't know how long I thought about it, the bright moon outside had climbed into the air, and Mama Liu finally stood up and walked outside.

After inhaling the incense she had prepared in advance, Xiu'er was already asleep, and Mama Liu took out her pillow and covered Xiu'er's face fiercely.

There was a sudden faint struggle under the pillow, and the fierce light in Mama Liu's eyes became more and more forceful.

The whining sound grew weaker and weaker, until it fell into a dead silence.

Mama Liu was surprisingly calm, she carried the tung oil and brushes that had been prepared a long time ago, and shook in the wing room like a ghost, painted the inside, and then painted the window edges.

After two quarters of an hour, Xiu'er's room opened the first flame.

~

The top of Qinglong Mountain, the courtyard of Duanwangfu.

The guards guarding the main gate were the first to discover the fire under the mountain, and they were guarding this side all the year round, and the guards had long been familiar with the situation in the various courtyards of Qinglong Mountain, and after a little thought, they determined the people who walked the water, and after discussing with the other three guards, he went in to report. The fire in the mountains is a big deal, and no matter who knows about it, it will be the king.

Song Qin's five senses were keen, and he recognized the footsteps of the guards almost at the same time as Chu Feng, who was keeping vigil, and came to his senses.

Chu Feng stepped forward to interrogate the guards, Song Qin sat up, guessing that there was something important, otherwise the guards would not dare to disturb them overnight. After hearing that Chu Feng rushed back at a faster speed, Song Qin frowned, raised his long legs and fell to the ground, and was about to put on an ink-colored robe, when Chu Feng said in a deep voice outside the door: "Lord Wang, the Tang family's courtyard is out of water, and the distance is too far to see which room is on fire." ”

Song Qin's brows relaxed. He also thought that something had happened in the palace, and it turned out that he was just walking through the water......

"Tang Family Courtyard?" frowned again, and Song Qin quickly put on his robe.

"It's the Tang family. As the only person who knew the prince's thoughts about Miss Tang, Chu Feng looked nervously at the man who came out with a cold face, "Lord, do you want your subordinates to go over and have a look?"

"No, you protect the third princess. Song Qin ordered coldly, walked like flying, and disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.

Tang Yu was very hot, uncomfortably hot, her chest was clogged, she had trouble breathing, and she tried to inhale......

The inhaled breath was inexplicably choking, Tang Yu coughed violently, opened his eyes with difficulty, and found that he was lying on the ground at some point, surrounded by thick smoke and tongues of fire. The first time Tang Yu saw such a fire, it burned one by one, like a hideous beast, and the next moment it would pounce and devour you. Tang Yu looked at it in a daze, for a moment, she felt that she was in a dream, but the overwhelming heat made her wake up completely, this was not a dream, the room was really on fire!

"Mo Lan!" Tang Yu quickly stood up and shouted in horror.

However, the tongue of fire was raging, and the tables and chairs wrapped in the beams of the room crackled, and Tang Yu couldn't hear any response, I don't know if her voice was too small to get out, or the fire was too big to block the sound outside. Tang Yu ran eagerly to the door, and was about to step out, when a burning beam suddenly fell in front of him!

Tang Yu was so frightened that he retreated again and again, retreated too quickly, and fell to the ground.

The ground is all hot.

Staring at the blocked road ahead, Tang Yu felt despair for the first time in her heart, she could escape if there was a fire, but now, what should she do?

"Mo Lan!" the tongue of fire rushed towards him, and Tang Yu wolfed out of the open area in the house, screaming for help at the window. Choking on the smoke, she could no longer stand, staggering towards the only intact table in the room, when a red beam suddenly fell above her head. Tang Yu covered his mouth and hid to the side, but his body did not have more strength to support him, and he fell down softly.

She tried to stand up, but she couldn't muster any strength.

Her body seemed to be on fire, in addition to being uncomfortable, she was hot and thirsty, looking in the direction of Xijijian, the only remaining water in Tang Yu's body turned into tears.

If she doomed, she wanted to die in front of her mother's portrait. What does my mother look like? It's all because my father didn't draw well, because she couldn't remember her after so many years of looking at the portraits...... She wanted to take another look, maybe she would remember it at a glance, and when she got to the underworld, she would be able to recognize her mother......

"Mother......

I can really see my mother, the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, and the mother who will treat her like a jewel, maybe, it's not bad to die?

The vision is blurred, the little girl is delirious, curled up in a ball with her eyes closed, dreaming of the person she has thought about most in just ten years, most of the time she shouts mother, and occasionally changes to daddy.

Shouting and shouting, the fire around him suddenly disappeared, Tang Yu looked around blankly, only to see a white mist. She didn't know where it was, she didn't understand why the fire that was about to burn her was gone, she grabbed the placket of her clothes and walked forward, suddenly the fog shook, and a person faintly walked in front of her. Tang Yu stepped back in a panic, staring nervously at the figure until the other party was getting closer and closer, wearing a white dress, his face was blurred, and a peony flower was in his cloud-like bun.

Tang Yu was stunned.

The father said that the mother loved the peony the most when she was alive, could it be that this person is the mother, and the mother came to pick her up?

Tang Yu was no longer afraid, she stared at the woman's face expectantly, wanting to see her clearly.

But just when the opponent's facial features gradually became clear and were about to be completely exposed, the sea of fog shook again, and turned into a raging sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

"Mother......" Tang Yu cried and shouted, but in fact, he just moved his mouth, almost silently.

But Song Qin heard it, and he looked down at her.

Tang Yu was unconscious, he barely opened his eyes, and what he was facing was a pair of dark and deep eyes, he looked at her, surprised and pity. Tang Yu suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her father took her to enjoy peonies, she thought of her mother, leaned on her father's arms and asked her mother what kind of peony she liked the most. At that time, his father was laughing, and then Tang Yu clearly remembered that when his father's face turned to her, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared little by little, and his deep eyes looked at her unexpectedly, sad and pitying......

Her father's shoulders were as strong and strong as this man's, and he easily picked her up.

So, was it her father who came to save her?

"Daddy......" Tang Yu tried all his remaining strength to hug the man, crying and calling Daddy.

Song Qinzheng's body was stiff and her heart was beating like a drum because of her attachment movements, and suddenly she heard the little girl's thin and weak whisper, her heart suddenly calmed down, and the corners of her mouth sneered.

The fire was too fierce, and this was not the time to deal with her, so Song Qin cautiously rushed here. He had observed from the outside, and the fire was burning in the east wing, and the wind was strong in the mountains, and the fire quickly spread to the upper room, and even the row of houses in the back were also ignited. The upper room was hit by fires from both sides, and the fire was the most dangerous, and the guards tried several times but failed to save people.

Anguo Temple and nearby people all sent people to put out the fire, and the courtyard was in chaos, Song Qin smeared his face and rushed in pretending to be a writer. Now go to the front, go out is the Tang family guards who are standing in the courtyard and waiting anxiously, and when you go to the back, it is all fire, but when you break out, no one knows that Tang Yu has been saved.

Song Qin is not a good person who has done good deeds without leaving a name, he just wants her to know that he saved her.

The fire in the west was slightly weaker, Song Qin broke in, put Tang Yu on the ground for the time being, and he went to tear down the window on the north wall. The fire spread on the wall, and Song Qin kicked open the window sash, but the surrounding fire still surrounded him. Song Qin moved the chair over, and then poured the only basin of water in the room on Tang Yu.

Tang Yu greedily opened his mouth and licked the water on his lips.

Song Qin stood next to her, thinking that she would be sober and angry, but she didn't expect that she was just lying there, closing her eyes, and almost lazily doing such an action, like a madman who knew that she was going to die but only asked for a good one-time pleasure, enchanting and irresistible. Uncontrollable in his heart, there was a fire of ignorance, but fortunately, his reason was still there, and Song Qin carried Tang Yu to his shoulders and walked towards the window.

Tang Yu's head shook, her body was cool, she was a little sober, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the portrait hanging in front of the offering table, the corner of the portrait was already on fire, and it could be swept away by the fire at any time.

"Mother......

Tang Yu shouted anxiously.

Song Qin heard it, glanced sideways, didn't want to care, time was pressing, and it would be more dangerous to stay for a moment.

He went straight to the window, Tang Yu was anxious, crying and patting him on the back, "Daddy, mother......"

Song Qin's brows sudden, and when he stepped on the chair, he pushed her against the window, reached into her long wet hair with one hand, lifted her chin with the other, and stared at her dangerously with dark eyes, "See clearly, who this king is." ”

Tang Yu looked at him blankly, the air was too hot, she couldn't see it clearly, including the portrait, she only saw a painting, because she had been paying tribute to the portrait for a few days, she was sure that it was a portrait of her mother. I had just smoked so many cigarettes, and my head was still confused, and I thought that the person who saved her was her father, so the person in front of her asked, and Tang Yu still called him persistently, "Daddy......"

Her voice was weak, gently like a coquette, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, looking at him innocently, "spoiled", which was more painful than the third princess.

Song Qin stared at her, stared at her, and confessed.

Seling Zhidi, her face has the ability to make any man's mind dizzy.

Having confirmed that there was a flower bush outside the window, Song Qin quickly tore off his robe to wrap Tang Yu, and then threw her out like a sack. When he had finished throwing it, he quickly jumped out of his chair, rushed to the offering table in a few lunges, extinguished the fire in the corner of the portrait with his hands, took off the portrait and rolled it, rushed to the window again, and jumped out with agility.
