The sun was setting, the twilight was falling, a breeze was blowing, and the two children shivered in unison. Pei Guangyi looked at the ashes of the bonfire on the ground, and the pile of cicada skins on the side, smiled and patted his stomach and said, "It seems that we don't have to eat when we go back."

"Hee-hee, it's delicious." Zhou Xueke hiccuped, but she kept smacking her lips, looking unfinished. "I haven't eaten enough."

"Then I'll take you back tomorrow." Pei Guangyi bared his teeth and smiled: "Let's eat until the end of summer." (Cicadas: I'll look at your horse)

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhou Xueke grinned and nodded: "Hanging on the hook, it's a puppy to deceive people." As he spoke, he pouted, stretched out his little finger and shook it, saying, "In the future, you will bring me to catch cicadas every summer." ”

"Hanging on a hook, it's a puppy to deceive people." Pei Guangyi smiled, reached out and hooked Zhou Xueke's little finger and said, "Don't be a big fat man when the time comes." ”

"Not really." Zhou Xue can stick out her tongue. The two laughed and walked away from the forest hand in hand, until they came to the city and walked to the mouth of the street, and then they reluctantly parted.

"I wonder what happened to that cicada? It's getting late, everyone is going back, is he going to look for his family too? Zhou Xue remembered that the cicada peed on her palm in the afternoon, and couldn't help laughing, and remembered that the roasted cicada made by Pei Guangyi was very delicious, and she couldn't help but reminisce, but she was contradictory when she thought about it: "Brother Pei told me that it was what the cicada looked like when she was a child, so didn't I eat the cicada's child?" Such a cranky thought can't help but contradict my heart. She pursed her lips and frowned slightly, as if she was engaged in a fierce fight, and only suddenly spoke out after a while. I saw her fold her hands, raised it above her head and said reverently: "Good cicada, good cicada, it's not that I really want to eat you, but it's really you so delicious, I will let Mr. chant for you when I go back, so that you can become immortals, become one, ah no, let you all become immortal cicadas." So don't blame me for eating you, okay? She said this with a reverent expression, and her eyes were full of fear and begging, as if the cicada she had eaten was standing in front of her at this time. A serious look looks very cute.

Unconsciously, the street came to an end, Zhou Xueke was shaking his head, jumping and jumping, reciting the words in the "Book of Songs" in the "Book of Songs" 'Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island'. Turning around the corner, I couldn't help but feel shocked and stayed where I was.

"What's going on?" Zhou Xueke's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, only to see that the study that was still intact during the day, elegant and tidy, was only a pile of ruins at this time. The nearby door collapsed, and the embers in the distance did not stop. The earthen wall had already been pushed to the ground, and even if he stood outside the door, the tragic scene in the courtyard was unobstructed. That afternoon, she was still sitting in the study where she was grimacing at Pei Guangyi, and at this time it had already been burned down, leaving only a few blackened and charred beams.

"Mr. Xian" Zhou Xue was at a loss, and suddenly remembered Mr. Shi, and couldn't help but feel a shock to his body, and he wanted to run into the ruins. "Mr. Shi! Mr. Shi! Zhou Xueke was looking around in the ruins, and kept shouting: "Sir, where are you?" ”

"Did you hear that?" Suddenly hearing someone talking behind the ruins, Zhou Xue couldn't help but be shocked, and an ominous thought instantly came to her heart.

"In front!" The other voice was a little harsh. "Hurry up and check it out!"

Run! This is the thought that popped up in Zhou Xueke's heart. Thinking like this, he suddenly turned around to run, but as soon as he turned around, he bumped into something and hit his nose painfully. Zhou Xueke's tears of pain were about to flow out, and she couldn't help but reach out and rub her nose. She looked up and saw a person who looked like an officer looking at her, looking at the expression on his face, Zhou Xue knew that this person must not be here to help save people. Thinking like this, he couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Labor and management are arranged here for an afternoon and are not allowed to leave, just to catch this little baby?" The officer had an impatient expression on his face, and when he saw that Zhou Xueke wanted to escape, he suddenly stretched out his big hand, grabbed Zhou Xueke's back collar at once, and lifted Zhou Xueke whole with just one mention. Seeing Zhou Xueke struggling non-stop, the officer felt even more irritable, waved his hand and slapped him twice, slapped Zhou Xueke on the cheek and scolded: "If you mess with labor and management again, you will be killed!" It's really annoying! ”

With two crisp sounds, Zhou Xueke's cheeks immediately swelled, and he stopped struggling for a moment, and stopped speaking in a daze, and after a while, the pain on his face became more and more intense, and then he suddenly began to cry.

"I'm annoyed!" Seeing several subordinates rushing from the backyard, the man couldn't help but scold: "Are they all fucking dead?" Do you want Lao Tzu to catch it himself? Then! With a wave of his hand, he threw Zhou Xueke over, a soldier was afraid that Zhou Xueke would fall to the ground and be injured, so he hurriedly ran to catch it, and saw Zhou Xueke crying, and he was not angry, but comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry." It's okay, it's okay. ”

"Humph! What a good person. Seeing his subordinates comforting Zhou Xueke, the officer couldn't help but sneer: "I said Vice General Xing, you are acting coy here, but no one has reported it to you!" ”

"General Wei, this is bad." The man surnamed Xing, who was holding Zhou Xueke, saw that Zhou Xueke had been slapped twice, and now his cheeks were swollen and purple, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, so he looked up and said: "General Wei, you and I are both family people, if I remember well, your son's age is not much older than this girl, you treat a little doll like this today, isn't it that you are at home on weekdays, and you also treat your wife and son like this??" ”

"Xing Su! What do you mean! General Wei wanted to mock him, but he didn't expect Xing Su to refute his face in front of everyone like this, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you want to rebel?" Why don't we go out and compare? ”

"Xing Su doesn't dare!" Xing Su squatted to wipe away his tears for Zhou Xueke, and squinted at General Wei and said, "Who doesn't know that General Wei Yongwei is brave!" All day long, he takes pleasure in insulting his wife and scolding his son, and it is obvious to all to see it on ten miles and eight streets. is so brave, Xing Su doesn't dare to compare! ”

"You!" The muscles on Wei Yong's face twitched, and he drew the knife in his hand with a pout: "You want to die!" The generals knew that they had always been at odds, and now when they saw that something was wrong, they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade each other, and finally persuaded them, only to hear Wei Yong snap and put the long knife into the sheath and said: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" With that, he went out and got on the horse, turned around and said, "Lao Tzu has stayed here enough, I want to go home first!" Look at this girl! With that, he whistled and departed.

"Vice Admiral Xing." When more than a dozen soldiers saw the chief general leaving, they all surrounded him and persuaded him: "General Wei's temper is known to our brothers, so why should you be serious with him." Let's hurry up and send this girl to Wei Shanren, the brothers have been here all afternoon, and they are all tired. ”

Seeing Wei Yong leaving, Xing Su was no longer angry, and when he saw everyone persuading each other, he knew that they were all thinking about themselves, so he smiled slightly and said, "I know." Let's go back early, and I'll invite my brothers to drink when I'm done." ”

When the crowd heard him say this, they couldn't help cheering at once, and they were about to leave the courtyard, when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Wait! The crowd was startled by the sound and looked around, but there was no one to be seen.

"You can go! Snow Girl stays! With an angry shout, everyone turned their heads in shock, and in an instant they saw a figure flying out of the well in the courtyard at once, whistling and rushing towards this side.
