Chapter 3: The Burning Fire
Facing the dawn of the morning, Yang Wuyang and Yang Yezhi finally found a place to stay on the mountainside.
The simple thatched hut was obviously left by Orion, and in the misty fairy air of the mountain, there was an illusion of a fairy palace, tired, panicked and helpless heart, followed by the quiet and ethereal Yuandai silence.
The layout of the house is as simple and clean as its appearance, except for a resting bed and a simple stove, the rest is all kinds of hunting things and daily necessities, neat and clean displays, showing that this place has been inhabited for a long time; No matter when the owner returns, he can only live temporarily.
The unpolluted stream water that flows down from the mountains is sweet and delicious; The cold and cold, slightly cold stream swept across the uneven skin, and the heat on the face seemed to be startled by the sudden cold, and the hairs were instantly startled, but this temporary discomfort and the right half of the face were unconscious.
Yang Wuyang leaned forward and looked at the face that should be blurred in the water, it was indeed hideous, and along the scar all the way up, a pair of starry eyes were bright and resolute, but there was still a trace of cracks in his eyes.
Time seems to go back to the day of his eighth birthday, with a hint of hope, get up early, get dressed and run out of the door, of course, this door is limited to the backyard that is not too big or small, Yang Wuyang sat quietly at the door of the house, staring at the gate of the yard motionlessly, for fear that a blink of an eye will miss the figure.
Since Yang Wuyang can remember, as long as he takes care of his sister and allows him to wear new clothes every year, that day is his birthday, and he can see his father on this day every year, so this day has become Yang Wuyang's most anticipated day, looking forward to seeing that tall figure and looking forward to the warmth of his father's big hands.
stared at the courtyard gate like this, somehow, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he sat and fell asleep like this, until there was a pain in his head, Yang Wuyang woke up, and what caught his eyes was a group of people, a few children the size of himself, followed by a group of maids behind him.
"Hello? Did they lock you up because you're a youkai? The child's voice was crisp and immature, the boy's brocade clothes, and the bright gold threads on the clothes, shook Yang Wuyang's eyes under the sunlight.
"Are you mute? How not to answer my words. Obviously, the boy was angered by Yang Wuyang's attitude.
At this time, a few friends beside him started talking.
"Brother Ziyu, our family has said that she is a lowly billet who can't see the light, and seeing her will not only stain our eyes, but also bring us bad luck, so we have to lock her up."
Immediately followed by a burst of gossip, "Brother Zhaohua is right, that's it." ”
Before the people finished speaking, a little girl ran out, and in a blink of an eye, she picked up a pebble from a flower pot and ran back.
", you stained our eyes, I'm going to beat you to death." As he spoke, the stone in his hand smashed towards Yang Wuyang.
This sentence burst like an exploding flood, and in an instant, several companions learned it in a good way, and for a while, countless stones smashed heavily on Yang Wuyang's body and head.
Yang Wuyang felt that there was liquid running down his forehead across his brows, and then landed smoothly, and the moment he landed, it splashed everywhere, it turned out that his head was smashed and bleeding, Yang Wuyang raised his arm and wiped the wetness of his eyelids, turned around and ran towards the house, until the moment the door closed, Yang Wuyang still didn't see the figure appear at the door.
The sound of pebbles knocked on the door panel at once, and Yang Wuyang's thin body was dead against the door.
It wasn't until the noisy footsteps outside the door left that Yang Wuyang sat down on the ground, his small body trembling like a sieve, but not a single tear ever flowed out of his black eyes.
Xu is child's grievances come and go quickly, and it didn't take long for Yang Wuyang to climb into bed and fall asleep.
And the group of masters and servants who left the small courtyard did not go far, but gathered together mysteriously and discussed.
"Brother Ziyu, you said that we should burn that cheap embryo to death, burn to death, we will not have bad luck."
"Is that okay? I am afraid of my father. ”
"What are you afraid of, later in the evening, the adults are in the front hall to celebrate Grandmother's birthday, and they won't care about us."
A few companions were chattering for a while, and then they were busy for a while.
Of course, the master only commanded, and the minions acted swiftly.
Seeing that this group of people was busy, no one stood up to stop it, whether it was Xiao Si, a maid who understood the matter, or the little master who didn't know the reason.
In the dead of night, in the corner of the Yang family's mansion, which is far away, a room from white smoke to scorching fire is just a blink of an eye.
Yang Wuyang was awakened by the burning heat on his face, and what caught his eyes was the red fire, Yang Wuyang got out of bed in a hurry before he came, and heard a bang, and then, the wood on the beam of the house smashed down, Yang Wuyang quickly held his head with both hands, curled up, and there was no pain in his body, Yang Wuyang slowly raised his head, and the burning wood was blocked by the bed, and also blocked Yang Wuyang's way to escape.
The air around him seemed to be boiling, his burning eyes couldn't be opened, and the smell of smoke was so thick that it seemed to explode his throat and lungs, and he was going to die before he even had time to cry for help.
The eyes were no longer in control, and tears were sliding down like beads of broken threads.
Yang Wuyang didn't understand what death meant, but at this moment, he felt a fear that he had never felt before.
Consciousness is blurred in my humble opinion, I don't know if there is a hallucination, and a fairy grandfather with gray hair and beard suddenly appeared in front of him, and the fairy grandfather had a kind face, and reached out to hug himself, "Don't be afraid, grandpa is here, grandpa will take you out." Then Yang Wuyang closed his eyes with peace of mind, and that embrace was so warm and reassuring, until now, it is still so clear.
Tick, tick, a few tears dripped down his chin and fell into the clear spring.
"You, are you okay," Yang Yezhi's sullen voice came from his ears.
"Heh, I haven't thought about it for years, it's okay.
Yang Wuyang got up and looked around, the rolling mountains, the ancient trees are towering, because the perennial light does not shine in the depths of the dense forest, so it is damp and cold here, however, since ancient times, it is often said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft, I think there should be a lot of food in the mountains, but this withered mummy-like body, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive into the depths of the dense forest, and it will have died in the Yellow Spring, not to mention the jackals, tigers and leopards in the depths of the dense forest.
The situation forced me to boil some hot water and cook some wild vegetables to relieve my hungry and acidic taste buds.
The hot vegetable leaves are bitter and light, but at this time, they are better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and when they are full, their lives show signs of recovery.
At this time, Yang Yezhi, who had been ignored by himself, looked at Yang Ziyi's expression of enjoyment, and his rumbling stomach was forced to frown as if he was drinking poison, and gulped it up.
After a few bites, it was as if I had tasted a delicacy that I had never tasted before, and I drank and ate until my stomach was bulging, and I refused to stop.
After walking all night, Yang Yezhi, who was full of food and drink, leaned on the side of the bed and fell asleep after a while, just with a painful expression, obviously sleeping very unsteadily.
At this time, Yang Wuyang was not sleepy, whether it was his own intuition or the strangeness of the whole incident, it showed that there must be eyes staring at them behind him, no matter what the reason, they never had any extra actions along the way, but the undercurrent in it made him worry all the time, and the threat to his life always existed.
In the end, he couldn't resist the weakness of this body, and slowly fell asleep, but there was an illusion that sleepwalking was too illusory.
A pair of golden boys and jade girls, both of them are defeated, spitting blood; The man's white clothes are fluttering, his ink-like eyes are inexplicably shocking and lamenting, and his jade-like face is full of pain; Opposite the man, a woman in a lake-green gauze dress, with a slender body, ethereal steps full of poignant, and her sparkling eyes full of incredulity and determination; A fiery young man came by the wind, a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth, all showing his good mood, the bystander Yang Wuyang, at this time to see the wonderful, want to further hear the conversation, just took two steps, was swept into the endless abyss by the sudden demon wind, nervous almost whole body spasms; At this moment, the movement outside the door made Yang Wuyang sit up in shock, he was already covered in cold sweat, like a dream-like scene, the slightest bit of it was pulled into the heartstrings, pulling the beating of the heart.
Little by little, the dawn of the morning broke through the shackles of darkness and burst out with the light of hope, swaying on the purgatory-like earth; The stars and lights seeped into the immortal Shouyang Mountain, looming a picture of the fairy palace.
Suddenly, Yang Wuyang woke up from his dream, sat up violently, walked in the direction of the stove, picked up a knife on the stove, and walked lightly towards the outside of the house.
Following the footsteps, Yang Wuyang's slightly sluggish figure slowly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, until it stayed on the edge of the cliff, and there were obvious traces of fighting.
The emergence of new forces has made the originally complicated situation more and more strange and suspicious, I don't know if this new force is coming for Yang Ziyi? Or Yang Yezhi?
In the blink of an eye, his heart slipped past Yang Yezhi's appearance, "Yang Wuyang secretly exhaled and adjusted the tiger's plan to leave the mountain," the thin figure rushed out quickly, leaving behind the abyss.
