Chapter 21: A Fire

The night was thick, and the clear moon was like a waterfall, pouring the gentle moonlight around the hut, illuminating the middle of the night for the old and the young.

It was a family joy that had never been seen in a hundred miles.

Under an old locust tree, Xuan Zhige teased Old Man Zhu with a smile, and at the same time stuffed the remaining chicken pieces in his hand into the old man's mouth, so happy that the old man waved his hand again and again and said, "Xuan girl, I can't eat it, I can't eat it!" ”

The old man coughed lightly twice from time to time, and it seemed that he was a little sick, and he probably estimated that this little girl wanted to blackmail him for money, just to see a doctor for the old man.

The moonlight was slightly white, shining on the two of them, and the scene seemed to be frozen, reflected in the deep pupils of a hundred miles of shock, which made him envious and made him unbearable to disturb.

Laughter and laughter came from afar, and the moonlight was very warm and gentle, urging Baili to relax for a rare moment, and actually leaned on the treetops, unconsciously falling asleep.

*****************************

When Baili Jingchen came to his senses again, he was awakened by an extremely tragic cry.

When he opened his eyes, the thatched hut in front of him was already in flames!

Under the dark night, the firelight devoured everything between heaven and earth like a fire dragon soaring into the sky, and sparks sparked with the wind. Even a corner of the house has collapsed!

"Xuan girl! You're leaving—"

Old man Zhu exerted all his strength to lift Xuan Zhige out of the sea of fire, but at this moment, the entire roof beam was burned and broken, and with a "click-" sound, the old and kind figure was instantly ruthlessly swallowed by the jumping sea of fire......

"Nope! Old man Zhu - no!! ”

Xuan Zhige's pupils were all enlarged in a sea of fire, the fiery red filled her entire eyes in horror, and when she cried heartbreakingly to rush into the sea of fire again to save Old Man Zhu, she was pulled into his arms by a pair of warm hands like jade.

I felt that the people were as warm as jade, and the faint scent of orchids on her body hit the smell of gunpowder and sulfur lingering beside her, and gently took her into her arms, with a little distress, and whispered in her ear: "Don't go." The fire was too big. ”

"You let go of me-woo-woo-I'm going to find Old Man Zhu-"

Xuan Zhige cried desperately and beat Baili Zhenchen's chest, trying to break free from his confinement, but he was unexpectedly blocked by him, and there was no way to escape from his arms.

"Listen. You have to live. And then revenge. Instead of going to death now. Do you understand? ”

In her ears, the voice of a hundred miles of shock, cold, cold and warm like the moon sounded slowly and firmly, encouraging her and giving her the courage to live!

"But—Old man Zhu...... Woo-woo-"

Xuan Zhige cried into tears, and gradually slipped from his chest to the ground, looking at the hut that was gradually swallowed by the sea of fire, the tears finally collapsed into a dark wet all over the ground.

"Who the hell is it...... Who the hell is it!! If I had known who it was, I would have paid him with blood!! ”

Xuan Zhige's roar echoed throughout the forest, carrying her tears to the hut that brought her laughter in the past!

"Old man Zhu...... Old man Zhu !! You don't believe what you say!! You said you wanted to see me marry my daughter!! You don't keep your word!! Woooooooooo

Xuan Zhige lowered her head, bit her lower lip stubbornly, and endured it, but she still didn't force the last tear back.

At the moment when her tears fell to the ground, Baili Jingchen in front of her slowly squatted down, took out a silk handkerchief, handed it to her, and said softly: "Cry, wipe it clean after crying." Then come home with me. ”
