Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Playing with Fire and Causing Trouble

Along the way, I told Nian Yi'an about Bai Xianzhao's haunting.

"Do you believe it?"

Nian Yi'an said, "Faith." Even if it's fake, I believe it. ”

His face remained unchanged as he said this.

"Ah, you. So, I want to cut down that tree, so that I can go back to the underworld if I hurt its original spirit. ”

Nian Yi'an said okay, go and see it first, and then act at the opportunity.

The two of us ate something in the south of the city, bought a few different saws, and rode out of the capital and ran to Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing.

I asked him curiously, "Aren't you afraid of destroying other people's fruit trees?" ”

Nian Yi'an said solemnly: "Since it is a cherry orchard, there must be thousands of trees. Sawing off one, and the little dodder is no longer afraid, how to count it is worth it! ”

I turned my head and kissed him lightly on the cheek: "Thank you for your favoritism." ”

He blushed and said with some trembling: "If it is not preference, how can it be called love." ”

I didn't say anything more, everything was silent. Leaned into his arms safely, feeling each other's heartbeats.

Groping for memories, the cherry orchard was soon found.

We tethered our horses to a locust tree, took our tools, jumped over the bamboo fence, and sneaked into the cherry grove.

The last Danzhu was full of branches, but now it has completely fallen. Only the green leaves remain, quietly in this summer, waiting for the next year to linger.

But for a while, I didn't know which direction to look for. He only said: "That one, it should be a little special, a little old, and the leaves are thick and shiny." The cherry tree was not very large, but it was as thick as a clay pot, and it was much more luxuriant. Under the tree, there should be a small stone monument. ”

"Then you can only stand up and see." With that, he climbed a fruit tree, climbed the branches, and looked around.

After a while, he jumped down and said, "There really is, here." ”

He took me by the hand, and he was already in the right direction, and he was good at all the things I wasn't good at. When I saw the "bewildered" tree again, I was sure that my cognition was awake and not that I had hallucinated.

Nian Yi'an walked around the tree, looked at the very small stone tablet on the ground, and read the words on it - "The Tomb of the White Lady".

He said silently, "It's true." If you want to come to this dream, there must be a reason. ”

I brought a saw and tentatively sawed along the roots. The bark of this tree is much rougher and cracked than that of the fruit trees next to it.

Groc, cluck...... Squeak, squeak......

The bark rubbed against the saw with a screeching sound.

Nian Yi'an grabbed the other end of the saw and added strength. Suddenly, with a bang, a red liquid erupted......

Sky! Is it blood?

We threw the saw and quickly ducked back!

I looked at the blood coming out of the tree in disbelief......

Is this true? Are you kidding me?

The blood that can be splashed on the ground is conspicuous. I stirred it with a twig, put it around my nose and sniffed it, and it smelled fishy.

Nian Yi'an also sniffed it, and the two of us couldn't help but look at each other.

He drew his sword, and struck it at a branch above his head, and the branch snapped. The place where it was cut was like a severed limb, and for a moment blood splattered, like a burst water pipe, gushing outward, several feet away......

We watched this scene and were at a loss. Even the clothes were splashed with red dots.

I asked, "Is it alive?" ”

Nian Yi'an frowned: "It's really weird." Could it be that this tree is half plant and half animal? ”

I sighed, "Isn't this happening?" ”

"Whatever it is. I've never heard of a tree with red sap when I've grown so big. There must be a demon when things go wrong, and since you have decided to hoe this tree, you should stick to the original decision. ”

I hesitated, "What can I do?" If we take a saw, will we not become bloody? ”

Our eyes flashed at the same time: "Burn it!" ”

I was suddenly laughed at by this tacit understanding.

We turned back into the city and refueled a barrel of oil. Resting in the tea shop again.

When I went back, it was already nightfall.

When I had tied my horse and walked towards the tree with the oil drums, I found that I was a little excited!

Oh my God, are these ten deadly sins, twenty-six "evil" hearts?

Nian Yi'an was also very excited, and the two of us looked at each other and smiled.

Full of evil smiles.

When you get to the tree, you take an oil ladle and carefully scoop out the oil, and then slowly pour it on the trunk bit by bit, trying not to waste a drop.

Especially in the cracked crevices, special attention should be paid to it. Of course, the branches also have to be taken care of, after all, relatively speaking, they are more flammable.

Nian Yi'an carried me, and I sat on his shoulder. Then he held the oil drum, handed it to my hand one by one, and then I splashed it back and forth.

In this way, the division of labor between the two and the cooperation between the two people feel that the work efficiency is great.

After brushing the whole tree, I only felt that it was more oily and plump.

I really didn't think that the first BBQ in my life was actually a barbecue of a cherry tree.

Then he picked up some more hay, wiped the oil can, and placed it around the roots. After all, a good child must learn to save and not waste.

Haha, the much-anticipated scene is coming!

Nian Yi'an took out two fire folds, one for each person. I took it and pressed his forehead against his forehead, smiling evilly.

Then the two men puffed out their cheeks and blew on the fire until they saw the red fire lit up.

We gritted our teeth and grimaced, and our hearts jumped with joy and excitement!

Slowly, with a sense of ceremony, he brought the fire fold close to the trunk of the tree, and then took a breath and poked the fire head into the bark, and in an instant a fire dragon ignited!

The two of us stretched out the fire fold to all the places we could, you monster tree, burn!

In the darkening of the night, it soon became a burning tree, and the flames burned so hotly. The poem "Fire Trees and Silver Flowers Never Sleep" is exactly what describes the present!

The two of us laughed and took a few steps back, watching the spectacle before us to see how it was charred and charcoal-black.

The flames kept rising into the sky, and the leaves and trunks were already ablaze! The orange-red umbrella flame resembled the hair of the god of fire, and the crackling sound was like the crunch of the lice in his hair being burned!

Then Vulcan's head shook, and strands of burnt hair fell downward. Some of them were lighter, turning into black smoke billowing out.

Just as he was rejoicing, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: "Go to the water!" Zhou'er, get water! ”

I hurriedly pulled Nian Yi'an: "The owner of the garden has found out!" ”

Nian Yi'an clapped his hands and ran out with me. Then the two of us ran a few steps and looked back, still jubilant, full of unfinished business.

But suddenly, a gust of wind rose.

The sand raised by the wind blew up the eyes of both of us at once!

Nian Yi'an hugged me into his arms for the first time, avoiding this evil wind.

I quickly rubbed my eyes and spat on them. This sand and soil actually poured into a mouthful.

But the wind didn't stop, and I didn't know that there could be such a strong north wind in the summer.

The two of us were in the wind and walked outside, against the wind. I finally climbed over the bamboo fence and found the big locust tree. The little red horse under the tree was already a little startled, and seemed to be frightened by this abnormal demon wind.

Nian Yi'an patted the little red horse to comfort me, and then hugged me on the horse. The two of us fled the scene as fast as we could.

The horses were galloping against the wind, and I couldn't fully open my eyes when the chaotic wind blew. When I looked back, my heart thumped and I was stunned!

I cried out, "Suffered, fired!" The orchard is on fire! ”

"Phewβ€”"

Nian Yi'an stopped the horse, took the reins, and made the horse turn its head.

The two of us were stunned, watching the wind-blown fire spread over a large area of fruit trees!

But the wind was still blowing, and it was whining. The fire dragon devoured the unburned place as fast as it could, as if in an instant, the distance had become a sea of fire!

I anxiously asked, "Are we going back to put out the fire?" ”

Nian Yi'an shook his head: "This fire, this wind speed, just the two of us, it won't help." ”

I was about to cry: "I think it's over, what if the owner of the garden is buried in the fire and burned to death!" They're still my old friends! ”

Nian Yi'an said calmly: "People should be able to run, isn't there a small river in the east, and their lives will not be in danger." ”

"That'...... The orchard is gone, what do they do for a living? ”

Nian Yi'an said: "You don't have to worry about this. Since I did it, I inquired about how much this orchard was worth tomorrow, and I would pay them all the silver! ”

I looked up, "Really? ”

He affirmed, "Really! Then he sighed again: "I really didn't expect the situation to get worse." ”

I pouted, feeling guilty in my heart: "I have ruined more than ten years of careful cultivation of orchards." I knew it earlier, but it was better to saw. ”

Nian Yi'an knocked on my little head: "If you saw it, the roots are still there." At the very least, you can burn to death! Well, don't think about it, what's the name of the owner of this orchard? ”

"The surname is Yun. I don't know Uncle Yun's name, but he has a young son named Yun Shangzhou. ”

Nian Yi'an nodded solemnly: "Okay!" I made a note of it! I'll take care of it early tomorrow morning. ”

He looked back in the direction of the city gate, and the wind was still strong, and he couldn't breathe well. I had to say to me in a bad mood, "We're going back!" A little later, the gates of the capital will be closed! ”

I nodded.

Then we turned our horses' heads around and hurried back into the wind.

It was a dusty return to the city. If you blow it for a while, I'm afraid that I will become a relative of the land lord.

Entering the city gate, with the shelter of the complex, the wind seemed slightly lighter.

The vendors who closed their stalls in advance on the street cursed the weather, and the women's skirts were still blown and fluttering. The pretense in front of the store was scratching and scratching.

Nian Yi'an sighed: "The palace gate is closed, fortunately, there is still an hour." ”

After the fire, I was also a little tired, so I relaxed and leaned on his arms.

Let the horses slow down and walk around the market for a while.
