Chapter 21: The Xia Family Has Changed Dramatically

"Eleven, what do you want to eat at noon?"

"Whatever!" At this time, Chen Shiyi watched the TV news intently and replied casually.

“...... Mom, come and see this," he said, pointing to the TV.

"What's wrong?"

Huang Qian walked over and watched TV.

At this time, a helicopter aerial footage was playing on the TV.

The picture shows a large area of charred ruins, faintly discernible from the smoking ruins. The blackened rockery, the burned dry pool bed, and the half-collapsed courtyard were originally supposed to be a rather classical old mansion.

What is most concerning is the news headline at the bottom of the screen, which is bright red and eye-catching with white words on a red background:

The Xia family changed dramatically, becoming a ruin overnight, more than 100 people in the house were killed in the fire, and General Xia Jichuan was nowhere to be found.

"Xia family! The Xia family of the Eight Glory Families? ”

Chen Shiyi looked at Huang Qian suspiciously.

"I'll see!"

A little confused at first, Huang Qian instantly changed to a serious expression.

She stared at the screen for a moment, then picked up the remote control and switched to another one.

The scene changes to a man with glasses, who is holding a microphone to report.

"Audience in front of the TV, my current location is in front of the door of General Xia Jichuan's old mansion in the Ningnan Region. From behind me, I could see that it was burned to the ground, and the gate was no longer visible.

The scene has been completely cordoned off, and we can only stand at the door and watch from afar.

There are already relevant personnel searching inside, and as far as the situation stands, no survivors have been found. ”

Then the picture of the reporter shifted to the doorway behind him, and you can see stretchers that have been covered with blue felt cloth, and some stretchers are constantly being carried out from inside, some are covered with cloth, and some are not covered but mosaic. It is not difficult to guess from the color of the mosaic that it should be a charred corpse.

The picture turned again, and the bespectacled reporter reappeared.

It is reported that this incident occurred yesterday evening, coinciding with the 105th birthday of General Xia Jichuan, and at the same time, because of the abnormal change of the sun, all family members were recalled. Among them are five children of General Xia Jichuan and several grandchildren.

The specific reason for the incident was preliminarily determined that the patron saint of General Xia Jichuan, known as one of the eight guardian holy beasts, was affected by the solar mutation, and fell into a frenzy that affected everyone in the house.

As one of the Eight Great Guardian Sacred Beasts, Devouring Yan had been severely damaged in the decisive battle with the Qianlan people eighty years ago, and it has not yet healed, which may also be the reason why it went berserk this time.

Let's show a video of last night's incident, taken by a roadside surveillance camera. ”

The picture jumps again, and a country road appears, not far away is the old house of the Xia family, the exterior wall of blue bricks and gray tiles, there seems to be an attic lining inside, and then the mountain peaks in the distance are printed with the sunset, which is a peaceful scene in the evening.

It's just that this piece of peace didn't last for three seconds, and the picture suddenly turned white, until the white receded, revealing the old mansion surrounded by a sea of red fire. At the same time, a canine guardian appeared in the wall like a giant, the length between the end and the end occupied almost the entire size of the house, and the guardian spirit made a long roar to the sky, and red flames continued to erupt from its body, and even began to spread outside the wall.

Syllable~

The picture then stopped, and the surveillance camera did not withstand the high temperature and stopped working.

Seeing this, Huang Qian took a deep breath and spit out slowly.

"That's right, this is the Xia family in the Ningnan Domain, one of the eight glorious families, and the guardian spirit just now should be the hellhound of General Xia Jichuan-Devouring Flame."

"Is the Xia family the Xia of the Xia Kingdom? Will there be any chaos in the Xia Kingdom? That devouring flame should be very powerful, right, how can it be affected by the sun? ”

Chen Shiyi raised some questions.

"Xia Guo's name has nothing to do with his family name. But the Xia family is one of the eight heroes of the founding of the country, and its status in the hearts of the people of Xia is very high, and Xia Jichuan has been shaped into a hero by the country. His devouring flame had already suffered a heavy mental blow in the decisive battle with the Qianlan general Laika, and the mental damage was indeed difficult to heal. ”

Huang Qian replied to him, and then frowned.

How could Xia Jichuan let such a thing happen in his own house? How could it be associated with so many lives of the Xia family?

There are some unreasonable reasons given by the official, because it should not be so simple. However, this matter can be regarded as a big deal in Xia Kingdom, and rash reporting will bring panic to people.

Suddenly thinking of something, she walked quickly to the balcony, she was going to call Chen Shi.

Chen Shiyi watched Huang Qian go to the balcony to make a call.

As a 'new' Jinxia countryman, he was temporarily indifferent to the founding heroes, but was very curious about the devouring flames of Naxia Jichuan.

As one of the eight strongest guardian spirits of the Xia Kingdom, he had seen it from last night's textbook.

Cerberus - Flame-devouring, canine with fire powers from the depths of the abyss. In the battle with Qianlan, he burned several cities in Qianlan with his own strength, destroyed countless enemies, and killed Laika and his patron saint in the final decisive battle with Qianlan's general Laika, and he was severely injured by Laika's counterattack, and there has been no news of recovery.

Yesterday, I heard Wang Xiaojie mention one, the wolf guardian god Wind Howling, who belongs to the first generation of the Ximen family, Ximen Wangyue.

The other six names are: Shattered Mountain, Shanze, Split Sky, Black Rock, Floating Shadow, and Qinglei.

Today's canine patron saint Yan Yan is the only one he has seen, but because it is a roadside surveillance camera, he doesn't see it very really.

The other patronus deities are only described in text in the book, and there are no corresponding pictures.

Now that so many people have died in the Xia family, Xia Jichuan and the guardian god Yanyan are missing, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of sensation among the Xia people.

......

At noon, the three of them sat down at the dining table and had a meal.

Chen Shi didn't remember if Huang Qian had asked him about lunch, but he understood the meaning of what Chen Shi said to him when he left.

The dish was cooked by Huang Qian herself, and the color was attractive and looked delicious.

But it doesn't taste like it seems, Chen Shiyi can be regarded as a person who has eaten for more than ten years, and he has never tasted like this....... Particularly...... of dishes.

"Brother~ You eat more and replenish your brain."

Chen Shiyin gave Chen Shiyi the vegetable clip that Huang Qian put into her bowl seriously, and persuaded him to eat some food.

There was no trace of disgust on her face, and Chen Shiyi had to sigh that his sister had learned to play tricks at such a young age.

"Ouch."

Chen Shiyin covered her head and looked at Huang Qian aggrievedly with watery eyes.

"Eat your food well, don't be picky eaters, won't your brother clip himself?"

Huang Qian rewarded Chen Shiyin with chopsticks.

"Eleven, do you have the habit of eating the dishes that your mother cooks?"

"Yes."

Chen Shiyi ate the food in the bowl expressionlessly, thinking in his heart that he wouldn't wait for Huang Qian to take the initiative to ask him what he had for dinner in the afternoon, it would be better to bring it up himself later.
