Qingzhi and Zheng Hangpei were separated in the middle of the afternoon.

Before parting, Zheng Hangpei took the book "The Art of Woodcarving" he bought, first returned to the Confucian Pharmacy with Qingzhi, and then took the horse he rode when he came a few feet away from the Confucian Pharmacy, and rode back to his house.

After Aoeda watched his figure leave, he turned around and went into the pharmacy.

When Zheng Hangpei rushed to the east, he decided in his heart that today was an unusual day.

Because he escaped from home by himself, bought the first book in his life, and made a friend.

He remembered that when he asked the doctor what his surname was, he said that his name was Qingzhi, and he thought that his surname was Qing, so he called him Qingdafu.

This young doctor made him feel very comfortable, and he felt like he was at home at first sight.

On the way back to the residence, he kept smiling.

Those who passed by him saw his bright smile.

The darker it gets, the less his smile will be seen by anyone who comes by.

However, he didn't keep laughing until he returned to the house.

The moment that made his smile freeze instantly was the moment when he saw the fire in his courtyard.

Under the moonlight, the rushing flames lit up almost the entire sky. The light of the fire dimmed the moon's brilliance.

The smile in his eyes was replaced by horror and extreme uneasiness.

He had already seen this fire on the road, but he just didn't expect it to come from his own house.

When he was sure that it was his house that was on fire, he frantically whipped the horse's rope to make it run faster.

When he came to the house, he saw that the tall wooden door had been burned to the ground.

All the buildings in the courtyard, including the trees, were enveloped in flames and burned.

He dismounted and immediately rushed into the fire, but was soon forced to retreat because of the heat.

The corners of his clothes were on fire.

Everyone has an instinct to survive, and this instinct makes him retreat in the face of the flames at this moment.

He knew that if he went in, he would just die.

And the moment he went in just now, the skin on his right arm was burned a lot.

The pain of the body is unbearable, but the pain of the soul is even more beyond his bearing.

Under the illumination of the surging flames, he thought that there were his beloved mother, his respected father, his respected and feared brother, and other people, those who had grown up with him, and he unconsciously burst into tears.

After a long time, his tears were dry, and the fire had stopped, and he went to the mutilated mansion to look for his father, mother, and brother, and he imagined that he would find their bodies burned beyond recognition.

To his horror, he didn't find them.

Did they go somewhere else?

A glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

He continued to search, and saw the unrecognizable charred bodies of several subordinates in the house.

Finding that all his relatives were not at home, his grief suddenly became less severe.

He decided to return to Dr. Aono's pharmacy and ask him to bandage his arm, which had been burned by the fire.

Although it was late at night, he knew that if his burns were not treated, he was afraid that he would immediately worry about his life.

An hour later, he rode to the Confucian Pharmacy, which he had only left in the afternoon.

While the moonlight was still there, he reached out and knocked on the door.

Soon Qian Liu opened the door. Taking advantage of the moonlight, I found out that the person who came was a teenager who had been here during the day today.

Qian Liu remembered that he had a leg disease, and he only asked Qingzhi a few words during the day today, not a person who came to see a doctor, but just to ask if the method was right.

When the day came and the night came, he was a little confused. Besides, he was very sleepy now, so he didn't want him to come in, and said, "Why are you here again?" ”

I heard him say: "Bring Dr. Qing, I'm injured." ”

"You're burned, I'll take a look at it for you." Qian Liu said and opened the door and let him in. Then he turned around and went to the counter to get the flint, intending to light the lamp.

But I heard Zheng Hang Pei behind him say: "Find Dr. Qingzhi, please come as soon as possible." ”

Qian Liu thought that he didn't trust him, pouted, and went back to the backyard to call Qingzhi.

When Qingzhi was woken up in a daze, he came to the pharmacy and saw that Qian Liu had already lit the lamp and put the medicine and utensils away.

Qingzhi saw that Zheng Hangpei burned half of his arm, and asked suspiciously, "How did you burn it, where is it?" ”

"At home." He said in a low voice, as if he was uneasy.

"At home? How did you burn, are you playing with fire? She could only speculate.

"No, my house was burned down before I arrived, and I wanted to rush into the fire to get burned."
