The storm has passed, and Li Qingyu has been expecting the old man to fulfill his promise and take him to another village to meet the person he said, and then send himself out of this ghost place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But it backfired, and the old man not only did not take her away, but closed her tightly again, and let her play with fire in peace in the firewood room, when he said that he could go before leaving.

With the last experience, Li Qingyu didn't dare to run out casually, so he simply calmed down and studied the law in the firewood room with peace of mind, waiting for the time when the old man said.

However, after being locked up for two days, the three-eyed boy visited the old man's courtyard.

"Grandpa Yuan, Grandpa Yuan! I'm coming to see you! ”

The old man, who was drinking tea in the house, smiled and watched the boy run into the room and throw him a green fruit: "Are you coming to see me or someone else?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" The boy smirked twice and gnawed a big mouthful of fruit, made a snoring sound, ate very deliciously, squinted his eyes and squatted beside the old man, rubbing his head into the palm of the old man's hand, "Of course I came to see Grandpa Yuan!" ”

Rubbing the boy's hair, the old man patted the top of his head twice angrily: "The person you want to see is in the firewood room, don't rub it here with me!" ”

Boy: "Huh! After a sigh, he jumped up and ran towards the firewood room, ate the rest of the fruit in three or two bites, and wiped his hands on his pants.

Before he could open the door of the firewood room, the boy felt the heat coming from the door, and the hand that was about to push the door immediately stopped, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Fire is a force that the villagers are very afraid of, although they usually use fire, but when they use it, they are very religious, if their house is accidentally burned by fire, not only can not be extinguished, but will avoid it because of the fear of fire, until it can no longer burn and extinguish itself.

At this moment, the heat coming out of the old man's firewood room reminded the boy of a fire in a neighbor's house a few years ago. At that time, he was not far away, and his hair had dried up a lot after the flames were extinguished, and he was really shocked by that scene, and he still feels afraid.

Push? Or not push?

The boy stood in front of the firewood room and began to struggle.

A quarter of an hour later. The boy finally made up his mind, stretched out a finger and carefully poked at the door, and after making a "squeak" sound from the unlocked wooden door, he opened a fist-wide gap.

From the crack in the door. The boy saw a picture that made his blood stop flowing:

The girl she had picked up was dancing in the middle of the firewood room with an axe, and dozens of fiery snakes with thin wrists were flying up and down around her, making her look like a fire elf.

This is...... Vulcan-sama?!

"Plop!" The boy knelt on the threshold with weak legs, and the wooden door that had just opened a crack was completely pushed open.

Li Qingyu turned his head to look at the door when he heard the sound, and then he saw the boy kneeling at the door with three eyes open and his mouth wide open, as if he was going to eat people. Frightened, the fire snakes suddenly lost control, collided with each other and splashed sparks all over the house, and the firewood room, which was already piled with many flammable materials, immediately burst into flames.

"Wow! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend Lord Vulcan! I'm going to leave right away! With that, the boy ran away with his hands and feet.

Li Qingyu stretched out his hand and froze in place, not understanding what the development of this plot was going.

Could it be that there was something that happened just now that she couldn't understand?

After cleaning up the flames all over the house, Li Qingyu walked out of the firewood room, and then saw the poor boy squatting beside the old man begging to be touched.

The boy also saw her.

"Plop!"

The boy who changed from squatting to kneeling made a big salute to Li Qingyu, and his hands and face were on the ground. Let her enter or retreat, and it is very embarrassing to stand in place.

Looking at the old man for help, Li Qingyu pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

The old man replied lightly: "I was scared by you." ”

"He's afraid of fire?"

"Everyone here is afraid."

But you're not afraid. Li Qingyu wanted to reply like this, but in the end he didn't say anything, and instead turned his attention to the boy, wanting to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.

After thinking about it, she found that it seemed that the only solution was to go back to the firewood room and stop coming out to be scary, so she turned away with a black face. The action looks very chic

As soon as Li Qingyu left, the kneeling boy got up from the ground, looking at the old man with tears in his eyes, looking very pitiful.

The old man rubbed his hair again. Asked softly, "Do you understand why I didn't keep her?" ”

"I understand, because she is the god of fire who has fallen into trouble, and now that her strength has recovered, she is going back to the god realm."

"You helped her before, you did a good deed, and the god of fire will not burn your home with fire in the future."

"Really?" The boy's eyes were bright. He looked very happy, "Then I'm going to thank Vulcan!" At the mention of the god of fire, the boy's tone changed sharply, "But I'm afraid of her ......"

"She'll understand you."

"Oh."

The old man smiled and patted on the top of his head, and when he thought of Li Qingyu, he had only one thought in his heart: It's still a stupid child who is so foolish, and a smart child is just hard to deal with!

After the boy left, there were no more guests visiting the old man's courtyard, and after a month, one day the old man suddenly pushed open the door of the firewood house.

"Let's go to the village on the other side."

Li Qingyu immediately jumped up from the front of the fire pit: "I don't have to prepare anything, I can leave now!" ”

The old man glanced at her: "Okay, come out with me." ”

The two of them went out of the courtyard gate and quickly walked to the place where the old man usually fished, and then under the gaze of Li Qingyu, the old man took out the fishing rod and started fishing without hurry.

Li Qingyu: "......"

Are you old man here to entertain me???

But after so many days, Li Qingyu has long learned to wait quietly, the old man fishes, she just sits next to clean up a small pile of hay and burns the fire to play, and it is also quite interesting to watch a dozen little fire people dancing around the haystack.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the direction of the lake, directly blowing out half of the small fire men who were dancing, leaving a few that were also crooked and out of shape.

What happened?

Li Qingyu looked in the direction of the lake, and saw a large dark shadow under the turquoise lake, and a huge underwater creature was approaching the shore, and it was the old man on the shore who was working hard to collect the fishing rod.

"What's that?!" Li Qingyu couldn't help but ask.

The old man replied while fighting with the big guy in the water, "It's our means of transportation to another village." ”

Vehicle?!

The corners of Li Qingyu's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Are they going to sit on that big guy's back or belly and go to another village? Could it be that the village can't be made underwater? (To be continued.) )
