Chapter 8: Nightmares
"What did you say?" Mo Nianning almost jumped up from her chair, her wide eyes full of disbelief and an inexplicable sadness, and she repeated the question in a trembling voice, "...... You say he's dead? ”
"Dead...... Dead ......"
How can it be? How could he have died?
Mo Nianning ran out like crazy and broke into Li Tang's room in one fell swoop.
The door was unlocked, and it was gray-blue, not a little lifeless, only the cold moonlight left a shadowy shadow on the ground, and a cool breeze blew in through the window, dancing lightly on the curtains.
"No...... No...... "Caring that it was late at night, Mo Nianning knelt in front of Du Sheng's room and shouted: "Brother Sheng...... Brother Sheng! But no one responded.
He's dead?
How could it be ......?
Did she kill him?
"How...... What's wrong? Bai Chen stood at the entrance of the corridor in a daze, it was the first time he had seen Mo Nianning look so flustered, "Brother Sheng went out, what happened?" ”
Mo Nianning leaned her head against the door, her eyes swirling with crystal liquid, and she took several deep breaths before she regained her strength.
"It's fine." When she raised her head again, she returned to her previous indifference, and even her voice sounded so nihilistic, as if her whole person was nothing.
Bai Chen looked at her back as she went back, frowned, suddenly remembered the medicine she was holding in her hand, and hurriedly ran downstairs.
Speaking of which, that kid in Li Tang is really fateful, and he can't die like this.
There was a man lying on the bed in the basement, the orange-yellow light shining on half of his face, and his pale face was covered with fine beads of sweat.
"You kid, if it weren't for the fact that you were injured because of Ah Ning, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you!" While Du Sheng was not at home, Bai Chen secretly came here to deal with Li Tang's injuries.
The moment he lifted his clothes, even he gasped, and his scalp tingled. The wound ran through almost the entire back, and Sensen's bones could be faintly seen.
Li Tang killed people and violated the rules, so he was punished by Brother Sheng to be confined in this place, such a serious injury, and he had to be locked up for a month without eating or drinking, I am afraid that the ghosts and gods will be unbearable, I really don't know how much Brother Sheng's move is to announce the personal vendetta of the public.
Bai Chen muttered in his heart, but thinking about it, Li Tang deserved it, even a benefactor like the shopkeeper could do it, without any regard for his feelings, and he was unjust, so he really didn't understand what he was thinking.
"No...... Don't go......" Li Tang lay there, muttering intermittent words in his mouth, "Brother......"
"What did you say?" Bai Chen thought he was awake, "You bear with it, your injury is a bit troublesome, it's really not good, I have to give you a 'smuggling' doctor in." ”
“…… No...... Don't leave me ......"
"I said, what are you pretentious? ......" Bai Chen realized that he was talking nonsense, his expression was painful, as if he had dreamed of something terrible, such a fragile Li Tang is really rare.
In the dream, it was a firelight, and the scorching temperature swept the whole world, screams, gunshots, and the sound of burning beams...... It's everywhere, and if you say hell, it's too much.
"Ning'er...... Ning'er...... Listen to your mother, forget who you are, get out of here, don't come back, live well......! ”
His mother's voice kept echoing in his ears, but he didn't understand why all of a sudden, the big family here had become like this.
One by one, the bodies that fell were swallowed by tongues of fire, Daddy ...... Mother...... All of them...... All of them died.
The light of the fire cut them off, and he could do nothing but cry, shout, and watch......
"Brother! Don't leave me behind! Brother! ……”
The thin figure standing at the door was his elder brother Tang Yuanan.
Tang Yuanan stood there dumbfounded, motionless, his eyes wide with horror, and his small body trembled uncontrollably because of fear.
He heard his brother's cries for help, but his body just couldn't move, and he didn't even have the courage to step forward.
The younger brother's shouts were gradually muffled by thick smoke, and his face was already covered with tears, I don't know if it was because he was afraid, or because he was ashamed of his own fear, in short, in front of death, he flinched, he really left his dear brother Tang Yuanning.
The scorching smell of the corpse mixed with thick smoke gradually spread in the air, and in front of him was a fiery red, fiery blood, fiery red light......
Tang Yuan'an trembled, leaned against the door, and felt sick to his stomach, and finally just glanced at the Tang Mansion that was engulfed in flames, covered his ears, and fled without looking back.
He didn't dare to turn back, he didn't dare to listen to the cries for help of the people inside, he didn't dare to stay there any longer, even if it was just for a moment, he was a coward, a scum, a greedy man who could leave even his loved ones behind!
"Ahh
In the dim hall of the mansion, there was not a single light turned on, and the indifferent moonlight shone in through the window, and everything was hazy and could not be seen clearly. A young figure reclined on the sofa with a backlight, suddenly woke up, and the sound of heavy breathing revealed the panic in his heart.
That dream, that dream, after so many years, he can't forget the scene of that day.
Thirty-eight lives! Of the thirty-nine members of the Tang family, only he escaped, and the rest were all buried in the fire, but the brute still did not get sanctioned, and he lived a prosperous life in this night city, and the retribution that should have come has not yet arrived.
"Huaining." Someone came out of the cloister and bowed respectfully, "The 'guest' has arrived." ”
Since heaven is unfair, then let him do the right thing for heaven, so that the beast can get the retribution he deserves. He escaped that night, perhaps for this mission.
Raising his hand, he waved his finger with his back to the visitor: "Got it, take him to the study." ”
That night, everyone had different agendas, different purposes, and different means, but one thing was clear: the storm was finally coming.
Du Sheng didn't come back until dawn, and happened to bump into Bai Chen, who had just come out of the basement after a busy night's work.
"Sheng...... Brother Sheng! How did you...... Just came back......? Bai Chen's heart is weak, no matter how much he hides it, the smell of blood on that body can't hide from Du Sheng.
"How is he?"
"Huh?" Bai Chen's tongue was knotted, and he didn't know how to answer, "Oh, oh, it's okay, I can't die, I just went to take a look, and I didn't do anything." ”
Du Sheng didn't ask any further, he didn't want to investigate this matter too much, at least now he didn't want anything to happen to Li Tang, it was rare that Bai Chen would actually take care of it, so he would turn a blind eye.
"Brother Sheng!" Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Bai Chen, "Ah Ning has gone to look for you, it seems that something has happened, when it is dawn, you can go and see her." ”
"Okay, got it, you should go and rest early." Du Sheng didn't look back, his voice seemed to be much colder than usual, quite distant.
I don't know if it's Bai Chen's delusion, but at the end of this day, except for that madman, everyone here has become very strange......
