The fire spread everywhere, and the yard was already a mess. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lin Xiuyuan ran to the open space outside the courtyard with Xuezhao in his arms and gently put her down. He shook Xue Zhao's shoulders and shouted eagerly, "Xue Zhao! Snow shines! Wake up! ā
Xue Zhao's eyes were closed, and there was no response. Lin Xiuyuan panicked, he took Xue Zhao's head into his arms, his voice was full of panic and trembling that could not be concealed, and he whispered in her ear, "Xue Zhao, it's me, I'm here!" Wake up! Do you still remember the poem you wrote, I chant the phoenix tail, and the king is Tonghe! I know you wrote it to me! I'm here, I'll never let you leave me half a step again, wake up quickly! ā
Suddenly, the person in his arms moved, Lin Xiuyuan noticed it, and immediately let her go, seeing that Xue Zhao's eyes were still closed, and her lips moved slightly, as if she was saying something.
Lin Xiuyuan put his ear close to her mouth, and heard Xue Zhao's breath say weakly, "Brother Lin... Under the bed... My father's piano... Under the bed... Lin Xiuyuan was stunned, didn't Lun Wanjian get the piano? Why did Xue Zhao say that there was her father's piano under the bed?
Before he could think about it, Xue Zhao's slender hand came out of nowhere, grabbing the placket of his chest tightly, and she tried her best to mutter, "Brother Lin... My father's piano... Under the bed... ā
Lin Xiuyuan's brows moved slightly, and he already knew it in his heart. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll go and get it back for you." ā
He put her down cautiously, and turned to look at Liu Zhihe and Jingran who were standing in front of him. The two of them rushed into the wing, carried out the dying Min Po, and put it under the tree next to them, while the Ling Bo in the wing room on the other side had died tragically under the sword of the samurai brought by Lun Wanjian and was buried in the fire.
Liu Zhihe and Jing Ran's faces were covered with blood, and red light was reflected under the reflection of the skyrocketing fire. Lin Xiuyuan's expression was solemn, and he said to the two of them, "You two are my good brothers, now I need to go in again, you two must protect her!" ā
Liu Zhi and Jing Ran stopped him at the same time, and said in unison, "Big brother! The house will soon collapse and you can't go in again! Lin Xiuyuan's eyes were firm, he patted them on the shoulder, turned around and rushed towards the courtyard, leaving only Liu Zhi and Jing Ran behind him and shouted eagerly, "Big brother!" ā
Not long after Lin Xiuyuan rushed in, there was a sound of falling beams in the courtyard, mixed with the crackling sound of sparks. Liu Zhi and Jing Ran both stared nervously at the gate of the courtyard, and after a stick of incense, Lin Xiuyuan hadn't come out yet, Jing Ran couldn't help it, and said, "Why hasn't the eldest brother come out yet?" I'll go in and take a look! Liu Zhi held him down and said, "No! The eldest brother ordered, let the two of us take care of Miss Yu for a good time, you will go in this time, not only will you not be able to help the eldest brother, but you may also make trouble for him! Jing Ran stomped his feet anxiously when he heard this, and said, "Seeing that the house is about to collapse, the eldest brother will not... ā
Before the words fell, there was a loud noise in the courtyard, and the simple thatched hut where Xue Zhao lived finally could not withstand the fire and collapsed. Liu Zhi and Jing Ran shouted at the same time, "Big brother! One after the other rushed in through the courtyard gate.
Xue Zhao regained some of her senses, she knew that Lin Xiuyuan rushed in again, and her heart was full of remorse, and the pain was uncontrollable. She was delirious just now, so she said the words in her subconscious, but she didn't expect Lin Xiuyuan to rush in again regardless of his life, just to help her find her Yaoqin? But what could be more important to her now? If something happens to him, how can he survive?
Hearing the loud sound of the house collapsing, Xue Zhao stood up from the ground with a hard back, and her heart was on the verge of collapse at this moment. There was the most important person in her life in the house, for her, he was in danger alone, in a sea of fire, and at this moment, she would die with him.
Xue Zhao stumbled towards the courtyard gate, the dazzling light of fire flickering in her eyes. She was resolute and moved forward step by step. Finally walked to the door, her thin body was about to be unable to support it, she couldn't help but reach out and grab to the side, but there was nothing beside her, her eyes instantly dimmed, and she only shouted the name she thought about day and night over and over again in her heart, "Brother Lin... Brother Lin... The scene before me changed to a dark night sky without any starlight and bare branches dancing under the canopy, and then sank into endless darkness.
Her body was caught steadily by a tall figure at the moment when she was about to fall, but at this moment she had passed out.
I don't know how long it was, and I don't know where I was, Xuezhao finally woke up. Her dreams are full of robbing and chasing her in black and the light of the sky. From the time her father left her until now, this nightmare has always haunted her and wrapped her tightly. Except for the time when Lin Xiuyuan visited frequently, she didn't sleep peacefully all night. Every time something happens, someone close to her is always injured, and this time, what did she lose?
Suddenly, a loud bang sounded in her memory, and the picture of Lin Xiuyuan finally rushing into the courtyard came into her mind, and Xue Zhao's heart couldn't help but sink, if he didn't come out, why was she still alive? She was going to go with him and live and die with him. Where is he? And where is she?
Xue Zhao tried to open his eyes and look around, this was not the house of Kirhe Tang Lin Xiuyuan, but the furnishing style was very similar to his room, only slightly smaller, and the bed was not so wide. She struggled to get off the ground, reluctantly reached the table in the middle of the room, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water. The water was lukewarm, apparently constantly changing.
A glass of water made Xue Zhao's mind much clearer, she looked around, there was a bookshelf of red acid branches and wood against the wall on the west side of the house, which was full of books, including "Marginal Notes on the Book of Poetry", "Lisao", "Zuo Chuan", "Grass Hall Poems", "Continuation of the Flower Collection" and so on. There are windows in the north and south of the house, and there is a bookcase under the north window, and there is a pen and inkstone on the case. There is a white porcelain shallow tank under the south window, raising five or seven koi fish, leisurely. Next to it is a piano table, and on the table is the Yuxi she usually plays. Xue Zhao's heart moved, and immediately stepped forward, stroked Yuxi's body, stretched out his hand and plucked it, and the sound was as good as before.
Xue Zhao looked out from the window, but saw that there were thousands of green bamboos in the courtyard, and the poles were green and dripping, and all of them were jade. The breeze blows, and the green bamboos sway in the wind, keeping out the noise and heat. Through the bamboo forest, you can vaguely see the four walls of the yard, the vines are full of walls, and the stone steps under the window are planted with verdant rue herbs, which are lush and lush.
The phoenix tail is sensible, the dragon is fine, and all the furnishings seem to cater to her hobbies and temperament just right, where is this? Has she already gone to another world?
