If Qixi Festival is a good opportunity for young men and women to meet, the Lantern Festival is the first choice for every family to enjoy the lanterns, so the number of people on the street at night during the Lantern Festival is several times that of Qixi Festival.

The lantern will attract a sea of people, just like the people of Meigong County have gone out, the people who enjoy the lanterns rub shoulders, the street is full of people, people are crowded, people are crowded, rubbing shoulders, like dumplings in the pot!

Tan Wenshi rushed out of Shouhe Building, and went to chase Ning Xia Qing without thinking about it.

Just then, a crowd of people crowded in front of him, hindering his steps.

Tan Wenshi saw that someone had pulled Ning Ningqing into the alley!

Tan Wenshi was in a hurry, and hurriedly walked against the crowded crowd to the east alley, more and more people gathered, shoulder to shoulder continued to pour from the opposite side, very crowded, the crowd was like the rushing tide in the river, and Tan Wenshi rushed back over and over again, and Tan Wenshi still squeezed in the direction where Ningxia Qing disappeared regardless of it.

When he finally squeezed to the mouth of the east alley, when he looked into the alley, he could no longer see the shadow of Ningxia Qing. He hurriedly asked the old man who sold rock candy hawthorn at the entrance of the alley, and the old man said that the girl in the ice flower cloak seemed to have been pulled away by some acquaintance.

It turned out that she was pulled away by an acquaintance, and it seems that she is not in danger. Tan Wenshi stood in place, the crowd crowded and kept touching his shoulders, he was slightly bumped again and again, standing there wondering, who was she taken away?

"Did you catch up with her?" A charming and amorous voice sounded from behind him, the voice was a little charming in the softness, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, a kite crying and a phoenix, tactful and soft, low and soft.

He turned his head and saw a slender, slender girl. The girl's waist is soft and slender, and she seems to be unable to hold it, and she is wearing a mask of a woman on her face, and a pair of water-like eyes are exposed from behind the mask.

The girl took off the mask of the woman on her face, revealing a delicate face, and was looking at Tan Wenshi with a smile, the girl's clear and clear eyes were as beautiful as the moon hidden in the flowing clouds.

The girl was not yet fifteen years old, and there was always a lingering sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was charming when she smiled slightly. This girl is not as gorgeous as Ningxia Qing, but her expression is a little more gentle than Ningxia Qing. The girl smiled and looked at Tan Wenshi for a while, then lowered her head, and added a little bit of pity to the shy daughter's attitude.

Tan Wenshi asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" What about your brother? Do you want to let you out alone? ”

Du Qiutong shook his head: "No." My brother and I walked to the door of Shouhe Building, but suddenly a bunch of people came on the other side, and my brother and I were separated. At this moment, someone bumped into Du Qiutong, Du Qiutong's body shook, Tan Wenshi hurriedly reached out to help, and Du Qiutong fell into Tan Wenshi's arms.

Du Qiutong was hugged by Tan Wenshi, and said sweetly: "My cousin always likes to come to this Shouhe Building, so my brother and I came here to try our luck and see if we could meet my cousin, but as soon as I walked to the door, I saw Tan Ye running out of it." ”

Tan Wenshi, who was holding Du Qiutong, looked at the still crowded crowd, and said casually: "After this wave of people walks over, let's go into Shouhe Building together." ”

Gu Xuesong stood not far behind Xue Qianqian, looking at Xue Qianqian's back.

I saw Xue Qianqian standing in a daze, not moving or speaking, her whole body was trembling, her fists were clenched, and her teeth were clenched. Xue Qianqian stared fiercely at Tan Wenshi's location, looking at Tan Wenshi and Du Qiutong who were hugging together, looking like an angry tiger ready to pounce and bite at any time.

Gu Xuesong saw it again, a mother-in-law with a burnt face hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and came to Xue Qianqian's side, dragging Xue Qianqian, as if she was afraid that Xue Qianqian would rush out, and muttered a few words in Xue Qianqian's ear, Xue Qianqian was finally persuaded away by the mother-in-law, but it was not a seizure on the spot.

Gu Huailang on the side pulled Gu Xuesong's sleeve and said worriedly, "Sixth Uncle, who is the person who pulled Sister Ning away?" Could it be human traffickers? Aren't we going to save Sister Ning? ”

Gu Xuesong said calmly: "You don't have to worry about her, I just saw who the person who took her away, and that person is not a bad person." ”

Gu Huailang was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "That...... Then you can't pull Sister Ning into the alley in public, the alley is so dark, and Sister Ning is a big girl, isn't this bad Sister Ning's reputation......"

Gu Xuesong shook his head and said, "I think, there must be something private that needs to find Miss Ning, in order not to be seen by others, so that person deliberately acted so secretly." It seems that Miss Ning should be very busy now, let's go, let's go to Shouhe Building first and wait for her to finish. ”

After Ning Xia Qing was pulled away, she was startled at first, but when she saw the other party's face, her heart settled down, and she slapped the other party without thinking about it, and said angrily: "Why did you suddenly pull me?!" Scared the hell out of me! ”

The other party replied: "Suddenly there is a little urgency, you come with me." ”

But she asked, "What's the hurry?" I'm asking you, you said that you went to the burning store to buy the porcelain bottle for Du Qiutong, but did you pick the right one? ”

Ah Zheng lifted the gift box in his hand and said, "After I bought it, it was a pair of Ruyi bottles with Cherry Orchid ink, a total of two taels and five yuan, and it was just right to give it to Du Qiutong as a gift." I know that you will definitely go to Shouhe Building, and after buying the congratulatory gifts, I plan to go there to find you, and I actually met Li Kou on the way. ”

Ningxia Qingyi was stunned: "Did you meet Li Kou?" ”

Ah Zheng nodded and whispered, "Yes." After I went to see Li Tie and his son a few days ago, the eldest master went to Baoluo Village again, and talked to the fifth master for a long time, and since then, the fifth master has been watching Li Tie and his son very closely. Li Kou wanted to find you, but he couldn't deliver the news, so he came here to try his luck in the name of enjoying the lanterns, and happened to meet me after shopping. ”

Ning Xia Qing hurriedly asked, "Then where is he now?" ”

"You come with me." Ah Zheng said a word, and then led Ning Ningqing through the alley and brought Ningxia Qing to a man wearing a monkey mask.

The man whispered, "How is the girl?" ”

This voice is none other than Li Kou! Ningxia Qing saw that Li Kou didn't even take off his mask in front of him, so he couldn't help but be even more suspicious, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Why is it so hidden? Is it that the fifth master is embarrassed by you? Are you father and son okay? Why did you call me over all of a sudden? ”

Li Kou whispered: "The girl doesn't have to worry, the fifth master didn't embarrass us, he just saw that we were tighter, so I can only meet the girl like this." The reason why I asked the girl to come here was because when my father was packing up his things, he accidentally found something left by the Flood Steward, and I don't know if this thing can provide some clues about the whereabouts of the Flood Steward. ”

Li Kou said as he took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Ning Xia Qing. Then he said goodbye, looked left and right, and hurried into the crowd again.

Ning Xia Qing stayed where he was, holding what Li koujiao had given him in his hand, looking at it in confusion.

It was an ornament placed in a bonsai, made in the shape of a river bank and waves. People often like to put some small ornaments in the bonsai, this ornament looks a little old, the appearance is also very ordinary, how to look at it does not look like there is any mystery.

Ah Zheng suddenly asked, "Could it be that this ornament is carved there?" ”

Ning Ningqing replied in confusion: "Isn't this carved just an ordinary river......

"It's no ordinary river." Ah Zheng pointed to the pavilion on the bank of the ornament river and said, "Have you ever noticed that this pavilion is a seven-cornered pavilion." ”

"The Seven Corners Pavilion?" Ning Xia Qing was very surprised: "Where is there a seven-cornered pavilion in the world?" ”

Ah Zheng said: "There is only one seven-cornered pavilion in the world, and the pavilion has the legend that the seven immortals go down to each place to hold a corner, which is located in the east of Yunshan, the south of Songfeng, and the bank of the Hongjiang River. ”

"Hong Jiang?" Ning Xia Qing was stunned. Could it be that this ornament carved with the seven-corner pavilion represents Hong Jiang himself? But what does this mean?

Ning Xia Qing didn't notice that in the Yongfu Building not far away, there was a person who had been watching all this.

At this moment, Ning Xia Qing suddenly heard a noise, which was different from the noise when enjoying the lanterns, but seemed to have encountered some accident.

Ning Ningqing was confused for a while, many people were attracted by the sound and flocked to the place where the incident occurred, Ningxia Qing and Ah Zheng were also crowded by the crowd, and walked towards the lively place unconsciously, but the more she walked, the more panicked she became.

The direction of the crowd is Shouwa Building!

Ningxia Qing was in a hurry, pulling Ah Zheng's sleeve and about to squeeze forward, but everyone was squeezing forward, and she couldn't walk half a step faster at all!

It can be regarded as turning out of the alley, only to see billowing smoke coming out of the second floor of Shouhe Building!

She couldn't believe it, and when she looked at it, the place where the fire was on fire was not Shouhelou, but where it was! The billowing smoke grew thicker and thicker until it obscured the sky and stained the night sky an earthy yellow, and the raging flames unscrupulously expanded its minions, trying to encompass the entire Shouhe Tower under its rule.

A raging fire broke out in the house of Shou He Lou, and disaster struck. Cries, shouts, splashes...... All the noisy sounds distorted around this one, and people's sense of terror and tension was infinitely amplified, and the red light that ignited in the darkness was like a sign of death.

From such a distance, she could smell the thick pungent smell of fire smoke!

She was so frightened that she lost her soul, and rushed straight into Shouhelou, rushing out of the crowd that was surrounded by Shouhelou to watch the excitement and didn't dare to come forward, and she rushed to the fire without thinking about it!

Ah Zheng hurriedly grabbed her fiercely, but she was like crazy, shouting at the burning Shouhelou: "Mother! Zi'er! However, at this moment, it was so noisy, and the crying, shouting, and watching the excitement overtook her crying.

"You let go of me!" She shouted at Ah Zheng.

Ah Zheng didn't let go of her at all, and said loudly: "If you go in at this time, not only will you not be able to save people, but you will also cause chaos to those who are fighting the fire!" ”

"You let me in!" She went crazy, desperately trying to break free from Ah Zheng's hand, Ah Zheng was in a hurry, so he had to grab her arm, and while dragging her out of the crowd, he shouted in her ear: "Even if you want to go in to save people, I will go, and it won't matter if you go!" ”

At this time, a black-faced man rushed out of Shouhe Building, and Ah Zheng hurriedly rushed over to grab the man and asked, "How is it inside?" ”

The man was shocked and said, "Don't mention it, it seems that someone set off fireworks in the private room, and as a result, the private room was set on fire!" The whole private room is on fire! The guy is busy putting out the fire! ”

Ah Zheng hurriedly asked again: "Where are the people?" Did anyone escape? ”

The man said, "I don't know." I was in the innermost private room of Shouhe Building, and I heard a crackling sound in the private room next door, and when I came out to take a look, there was already smoke at that time, and I couldn't see anything. I went back to the private room to get the baggage before running out, and when I ran, I only heard the sound of the guy shouting for the fire, and I estimated that the other guests should have run out before me. ”

When Ning Xia Qing heard this, she seemed to have regained hope, and hurriedly searched around, but met the jade that was looking for her. As soon as Jade saw her, she immediately shouted, "Girl, girl! ”

Cuiyu ran to Ning Ningqing's side while shouting, took Ning Ningqing's hand, and said excitedly: "Girl, I can be regarded as looking for you!" ”

Ning Xia Qing hurriedly asked, "How are you doing?" What about Niang and Zi'er? ”

Cuiyu replied: "Don't worry, the lady and the second girl are fine, and now they are in the private room of the Yongfu Building opposite." When the fire first started, we squeezed out with the crowd, so we didn't get caught by the fire. ”

Cuiyu said again: "However, the second girl was squeezed and fell, her hand was broken, and she was taking medicine in Yongfu Building." ”

As soon as Ning Xia Qing heard this, his heart relaxed, and he burst into tears in an instant, sobbing and asking, "...... you guys You must all be freaking out, right? ”

Cui Yu said: "The second girl is indeed frightened. At the beginning of the fire, Shou and the people in the building were crowded out, the second girl was squeezed by those people and fell, and she was scared to cry at that time, fortunately, Lord Gu appeared, Lord Gu helped the second girl up, and took the second girl to the private room opposite Yongfu Building to take medicine. ”

Cuiyu said again: "That's right, by the way, after Lord Gu protected the second girl, Tan Ye also appeared, and Tan Ye protected his wife and I out of Shouhe Building together." Mrs. remembered the girl who hadn't come back yet, so Tan Ye went to look for the girl again, but Tan Ye never came back, so Mrs. sent me to find the girl again. ”

"It was Tan Wenshi who escorted you out of Shouhe Tower?" Ning Xia Qing asked unexpectedly, and then wiped her tears while lowering her eyes and said, "Anyway, it's good that you're all fine......

"We're all fine." Jade asked, "But what did the girl do?" Before the fire, the wife muttered several times, saying that the girl was just going to say a few words to others. Why don't you come back? ”

"I ......" Ning Xia Qing said casually: "I originally wanted to come back, but I saw that there was a hawthorn seller of rock candy, and I wanted to buy some for Zi'er, but there were too many people, and I was squeezed elsewhere, so I lost time." ”
