The fire door does not see daylight all year round, and it is soaked in high-temperature molten slurry all day long. The people here are no different from www.biquge.info the outside, the hot molten slurry can warm the body but it is difficult to warm the heart, indifference and ruthlessness erode this place, "nothing to do with oneself and do not work" has become the creed of everyone, especially under the control of the current elders, the door rules and regulations are even greater than the warmth and coldness of people.

However, there are no absolutes in everything, and there are always exceptions, such as the person who saved Zhu Xuanxi that day.

Years later, Zhu Xuanxi still felt unbelievable when he recalled the scene at that time, how could he completely let go of his guard because of a few words of kindness from a stranger?

The person outside the cave stretched out his hand, and because he was smiling too happily, all the facial features on his chubby face were wrinkled together, and his eyes were so squeezed that he couldn't see the eyeballs at all. If you describe it with the words that Zhu Xuanxi lacked at that time, this person is very much like a boy in the New Year's picture at home, and he inexplicably feels trustworthy.

Zhu Xuanxi was confused by this sense of trust, put aside his fear and caution, grabbed the soft hand, and crawled out of the cave with the help of the other party.

"You haven't spoken, I thought something was wrong, and I wanted to go down to save you, but ......" The man stared down at his round belly and continued to laugh: "It's good that my arms are quite thin." ”

"Hehehe" Zhu Xuanxi desperately suppressed his laughter, afraid that his rudeness would annoy him.

Unexpectedly, the man didn't care at all, and he laughed himself: "Hahaha! ”

Zhu Xuanxi suddenly forgot about his reserve and etiquette, and leaned on the outer wall of the cave. It was the first time he could laugh without any scruples, and it was also the first time he felt warmth other than his father. This feeling is different from family affection, and there is a little more pleasure in it, a kind of pleasure that attracts like each other.

"My name is Zhu Lele, what about you?"

"My name is Zhu Xuanxi."

Zhu Lele's head tilted to the side: "Xuanxi ......" and then clapped his hands, "A good name." ”

"Yours isn't bad, either."

Lele, it's too much in line with your character.

Zhu Lele nodded: "Well, my mother hopes that I can be happy every day." Then he looked at Zhu Xuanxi with some sadness, "It's a pity that she's gone." ”

"Gone?"

"Well, went far away and will never come back."

Zhu Xuanxi immediately understood the true meaning of this sentence, as a person who also lost his mother, he felt much closer to this person. The two children of the same age became friends, and those who bullied Zhu Xuanxi never appeared again because they couldn't beat Zhu Lele. They met every day and had a great time.

――

After Wang Shoucheng finished breakfast, he groped his way to the bedside, shaking his head and humming a tune. Probably because he couldn't hear it, he just hummed out the melody in his heart, so it was difficult to form a tune. The appearance of being comfortable is too much like Zhu Lele, Zhu Xuanxi smiled bitterly, and his heart was not a taste.

Lele, you must regret making me a friend, if it weren't for me, you would have lived your happy life peacefully, and you wouldn't have lost your life.

――

On this day, Zhu Feng hurried home and urged Zhu Xuanxi to pack his things.

Zhu Xuanxi was full of doubts: "Why?" ”

Zhu Feng held his shoulder: "Child, we can't stay here anymore." His eyes sparkled, "If you stay any longer, you'll die!" ”

Zhu Xuanxi remembered the agreement with Zhu Lele: "I don't! ”

"Xi'er, be good." Zhu Feng stuffed his clothes and valuables into the rattan box, and then pulled Zhu Xuanxi and rushed out of the house.

rushed out to see that Zhu Qi was already blocking the door with a large group of people.

"Hmph, I want to run!"

Zhu Feng protected Zhu Xuanxi behind him: "Zhu Qi, what are you going to do?" ”

"Bold! How dare you call the elders by their names! ”

Zhu Feng snorted coldly: "Shameless rat generation, you are not worthy of being my Fire Gate Elder!" ”

Hearing this, the men and horses behind Zhu Qi were ready to move, ready to rush up at any time.

Zhu Qi took the opportunity to speak: "Do you and I have to make trouble like this?" He took a few steps forward, "As long as you give him to me, I guarantee you two are unharmed." ”

Zhu Xuanxi clutched the corner of Zhu Feng's clothes tightly, he didn't understand why the high-ranking elder was so interested in him. I don't understand why my father was reluctant to hand him over, or at least it sounded like he would save his life.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you still care about that little friendship, just fight me openly." Zhu Feng broke Zhu Xuanxi's hand, gave him a firm look, and then walked towards Zhu Qi step by step. "If I win, let us go."

Zhu Qi thought for a while, looked through Zhu Feng, stared at Zhu Xuanxi meaningfully, and then said, "Okay, if you lose, you will obediently hand over the person." ”

"Okay."

As soon as Zhu Feng's voice fell, the movements under his feet were dazzling, and the gossip array from the fire took shape instantly. He raised his head to the sky and roared, and the pillar of fire burst through the sky, and the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked. The rock broke off and turned into an abyss, between him and Zhu Qi. He raised his hand above his head, roared in pain, and then burned all over, rushing towards Zhu Qi and the centaurs behind him along with the many gushing molten fountains.

Zhu Qi didn't expect that he would save Zhu Xuanxi by sacrificing his life, he was trapped in the magma array unprepared, the sky began to explode, and sporadic firelight fell on Zhu Xuanxi, with his father's last words.

"Xi'er, run!" The sound was heartbreaking.

Zhu Xuanxi was sent away from the scene by a powerful push, and he couldn't do anything but roar and cry. In a blur of vision, his father eventually turned into the largest fireworks in the sky, blooming with all his life force. A dull pain in his chest struck suddenly, tugging at his ribcage, and his eyes went black, and he completely fainted.

Zhu Qi and his men were badly damaged, and a group of people waited in place to heal, he was afraid of missing this rare opportunity, so he sent a distress signal, attracted a backup team, and ordered them to catch Zhu Xuanxi at all costs.

――

When Zhu Xuanxi regained consciousness, there was a strange place around him, his clothes were in tatters, and the slightly burnt smell told him that everything was not a dream, and his father had really left him. Tears trickled down his arm, and he was fainted into a mass of black stains.

A thought came to me: my father had put his life on the line to send me away, and I could never be taken back.

He wiped a handful of tears and began to identify the direction, there was a lot of black smoke rising from the southeast direction, and it should be his house if nothing else. He thought of the cave, thought of Zhu Lele, and after being entangled, he decided to take another look at his friend and say goodbye to him before escaping. So, he stepped towards the west, but he didn't notice in a hurry, and the jade pendant he had been carrying with him slipped off his collarbone and fell on the rocky ground.

When he rushed to the cave out of breath, Zhu Lele waited there, leaning against the stone wall, shaking his head and humming a song.

He patted him on the shoulder: "Lele." ”

Zhu Lele was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then smiled: "You fell into the molten river?" Then he grabbed him excitedly, "Xuanxi, didn't you say before that you would grow pimples and bark-like things on your body as soon as you arrive in the spring, so you were regarded as a monster by those people, I went back to help you ask the old man in the cliff, and finally had eyebrows!" We can ......."

"Lele, listen to me." Zhu Xuanxi had to interrupt him, "I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

"Farewell? Why ......"

Zhu Xuanxi himself was not very clear about the current situation, so he could only play haha: "This ...... I'll explain to you when I have a chance, anyway, I must leave the fire gate now and go out and hide for a while. ”

At this moment, the rescue team had chased them less than 1 kilometer away, Zhu Lele saw this posture, only to find that the matter was far more serious than he thought, and he couldn't help but ask: "I know a shortcut to go out, follow me!" (To be continued.) )
