Burning Yan frowned in confusion, Helian Nuo pointed to the hole, signaling the former to look out, Burning Yan put his eyes to the hole suspiciously and looked out, only to see that under the light of the moon, on the narrow path leading to the outside of the village, a little boy who looked very immature was running out of the village with a bamboo basket in his hand!

"Xiaohuo, you mean...... No, he's just a child, and if he is discovered, his life will be gone!", Burning Flame glared at Helenor fiercely, and left the hole angrily, and sat down in the corner of the cave.

"It's because he's a child that it's not easy to be suspected!Of course I know it's dangerous, but do we have any other choice?I don't know how many secret sentinels have been laid at the entrance of the village, and besides this unobtrusive child, who can convey our thoughts to every household without knowing it?", Helenor didn't show weakness, grabbed a pile of blank paper written on the table and walked out.

Burning Yan sighed helplessly, but after all, he didn't continue to stop it, he knew that what Helianor said was right, the current Xuanhuo clan was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for ordinary people to escape the eyes of Burning Sky, and only the most unnoticeable children were the safest to act.

Helianor lightly felt out of the hole, and after careful investigation, he suddenly ran the Nine Shadows Thunderbolt, rushed into the grass next to the path at a very fast speed and squatted down, the little boy happened to come over at this time, Helianor thought about it, patted Qiuqiu's head, Qiuqiu was extremely smart, and instantly understood what he meant, and quickly crossed the grass and greeted the little boy!

This boy was the one who had led the way for Helianor and Niu Chong the day before, because there were so few children of his age in the village, he had almost no playmates, so he had to catch some insects everywhere and play alone, but the most interesting earth tiger would only come out after midnight and before dawn, and in desperation, he had to recuperate during the day, and sneak out of the house at night, and the secret sentry planted at the head of the village by Burning Sky had already understood this habit of his, and naturally there would be no suspicions.

The little boy was humming happily, but a black shadow suddenly rushed over, straight into his arms, after being startled, the boy shouted out in surprise, for Qiuqiu he is a favorite in his heart, yesterday's goodbye, he was really uncomfortable for a long time, he thought that he would never see Qiuqiu again, who knew that he met on the path outside the village, how could he not be excited?

Qiuqiu rubbed the boy's face affectionately, and then suddenly jumped out of the boy's arms, ran towards the grass on the side of the road, and after running a few steps, Qiuqiu stopped again and waved to the boy in a very humane manner.

"Do you want me to follow you?", the boy asked in surprise, after seeing Qiuqiu nodding, he hurriedly followed excitedly, there were no fierce soul beasts near Xuanhuo Village, and there were almost no outsiders coming and going, so the boy naturally didn't have to be afraid of anything.

Qiuqiu stopped and stopped, and soon led the boy to Helenor, seeing Helenor, the smile on the boy's face subconsciously froze, although he was young, but his mind was extremely active, the village was chaotic all day, and Helianno was a stranger who suddenly appeared, and the smart little boy instinctively linked the two things together.

"Your name is Xiaohuo, isn't it?", Helenor smiled, walked over to the boy, and gently pinched his face with his hand.

"How do you know my nickname?", the boy's eyes widened, and although he was a little scared, he bent down and hugged Qiuqiu in his arms.

"Of course I know, it was the uncles who were tied at the entrance of the village who told me, Xiaohuo, have you mentioned me to the people in the village today?", Helianno squatted not very comfortably, so he simply sat on the grass.

"No, if I let the people in the village know that I brought a stranger back, our family will be tied to a stake! But in the morning, I asked my father to tell me the story of the Xuanhuo clan, but my mother, who was still smiling, suddenly changed her face, beat me a few times, and told me not to mention these four words again in the future! After that, my father quietly told me that the Xuanhuo clan is the foundation of all people in our village, and he said that people can be poor, but they must not forget their roots. He also told me to keep these four words in my heart and never forget them, but never to talk about them to the people in my clan! But you are not from our clan, so it should have nothing to do with you!", Xiaohuo pursed his lips aggrievedly, obviously, he didn't know why he was beaten.

Helianor nodded when he heard this, it seemed that the people in the village still had a great sense of belonging to the Xuanhuo clan, but they didn't dare to resist because of the brutality of the burning sky.

After hesitating for a moment, Helianor still took out a stack of neatly cut pieces of paper from the Tianci space, gently put them in Xiaohuo's bamboo basket, and then covered it with a layer of blades of grass. Xiaohuo, what your father said is right, the four words of the Xuanhuo clan are the root of all people in your village, but now, some people have forgotten this root, and even want to completely destroy this root, you must know that the tree without roots will die, and although people without this will not die, they can only live like the walking dead, and they will never be able to understand the true meaning of life. The uncles who were tied up at the entrance of the village before were hurt just to protect everyone's roots, and I came here to help you defend your roots! But my strength alone is far from enough, can you do me a favor?"

Xiaohuo nodded as if he didn't understand, for him who has never had any friends, it was already a very rare thing for someone to trust him.

"Every note in here has a word I want to say to you, and when you get back to the village, put one in the crack of every house's door, and don't let anyone find out......! Don't panic, just tell me that there is a person outside the village who threatens you, if they still don't believe me, you can bring them here to find me, and I will stay here until you are safe! Remember our signal, if you complete the task safely, light a small fire at the entrance of the village, and when you see this fire, I will naturally leave!" , Helianno patted Xiaohuo's bamboo basket, his expression was a little unnatural, if there was a choice, he would definitely not let a child who was only four or five years old take the risk, but the current situation is special, and he can't find any other way at all.

Xiaohuo nodded lightly, reluctantly put the ball on the ground, and the tiger didn't catch it, and walked directly to the village, walking and looking back from time to time.

"Wait!Xiaohuo, I'll lend you Qiuqiu for a while, remember, it's borrowed, I'll get a new squirrel and exchange it back when the time comes!", Helianor hesitated for a moment, suddenly picked up Qiuqiu, walked a few steps to Xiaohuo's side, and stuffed Qiuqiu into his arms.

"Really? Great! Don't worry, I'm going to feed it fat!" , Xiaohuo was overjoyed when he heard this, as if he was afraid that Helianor would regret it, he strode towards the village with the ball, looking at Xiaohuo's back, Helianor smiled, a few years ago, he was also like Xiaohuo, he could be happy for a long time when he got a favorite thing, but as he grew older, it seems that a person's understanding of happiness is much more complicated, the ability is getting bigger and bigger, and the satisfaction is getting less and less, sometimes Helenor will be very envious of those carefree children, they don't have to face killing, no burden, no ties, and a person's life is only the purest at this time。

Taking a deep breath and throwing away the distractions in his mind, Helianor hid behind a mound, looking at the village of the Xuanhuo clan from afar, waiting for the flame that represented safety to ignite, if Xiaohuo was really unfortunate enough to be caught, Helianor would rather expose himself, or even temporarily terminate the plan to subdue the Xuanhuo clan, he didn't want to implicate innocent people.

About an hour later, just when Helianor was already anxious, a pile of fiery red light suddenly rose at the entrance of the village, Helianor was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly looked carefully, only to see that beside the small pitiful bonfire, the clumsy little fire was looking around sneakily, and the ball was running back and forth, and the two front paws kept throwing some broken branches on the fire, and the two little ones seemed to be in a hurry, and Xiaohuo's face was slightly blackened by smoke, which looked very funny.

Seeing this scene, Helenor's heart finally let go, he snapped his fingers excitedly, and lightly touched back to the cave, waiting in the cave for the burning flame was already restless, seeing Helenor's return, he hurriedly leaned over and asked, Helianor told the story of the incident 1510, when talking about Xiaohuo's father, Helianor noticed that the eyes of the burning flame clearly appeared with tears of excitement, if the previous burning flame had been disappointed in the numb attitude of the clansmen, then now, the flame of hope in his heart that was close to extinguishing began to burn again！

The next day, when the rooster crows to wake up the people in the village, each family found a piece of white paper in the crack of the door, the white paper was cut very neatly, after opening, a fiery red flame pattern first appeared in front of their eyes, under the pattern, a simple line of words was written: The spark of the stars can start a prairie fire, the fire of the Xuanhuo clan, has it really been extinguished?

Everyone fell silent when they saw this sentence, including even those thugs who worked hard for the burning sky, at the same time, I don't know how many people looked at the flames in the stove in a silent daze, I don't know how many people quietly took out the Xuanhuo dress that had been sealed for several years, and recalled the grand occasion of the whole family together!
