Next Chapter

Fire, such a big fire, the scorching waves and tongues of fire that rushed to her face, seemed to devour her, the thick smoke and dust choked her coughing repeatedly, her small body was gently picked up, and a gentle voice sounded in her ears, "Yan'er, I'm sorry." Gu Zhaoyan frowned, what, what I'm sorry.

She hurriedly grabbed the woman's hand, crying and shouting, the woman smiled and touched her little head, lifted her out of the window, and caught her steadily with both hands, she hurriedly grabbed the woman's hand that had not yet retracted, don't, don't leave me alone, the woman smiled, a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, she moved her lips, and whispered a few words, "I'm sorry, live well!" With that, he let go of her little hand and turned into the depths of the flames, and the tongue of fire quickly engulfed her.

Gu Zhaoyan cried and shouted, grabbed the owner of the hands on his waist, raised his tearful little face, and begged, "Mother, please, save my mother!" ”

The man was wearing a black robe, a black cloak on the outside, the childishness on his fair and handsome face had not retreated, his eyes were as clear as black jade, as if a star had fallen into it, he looked at her, pursed his lips, and shook his head gently, Gu Zhaoyan struggled, trying to break free from his arms, the man hurriedly hugged her, and took her punches and kicks for a while. As if tired and desperate, she no longer struggled, just stared blankly at the night sky red by the fire, tears did not dry, but no longer flowed.

The man seemed to be unbearable, his clear eyes seemed to float gently, he pressed her little head into his arms, pulled the black cloak on his body, and wrapped her little one. Xu was tired, and she fell asleep in his arms in a daze.

The courtyard began to be noisy, and the young man no longer hesitated, hugged her and gave a deep salute to the fire-covered courtyard, and with a light tiptoe, he went out of the courtyard.

I don't know how long I walked, Gu Zhaoyan woke up slowly, the man didn't stop, and he was still moving forward with her. For some reason, Gu Zhaoyan was a little angry, and bit him on the shoulder, the man stiffened, but he didn't stop her, but hugged her harder, the fishy sweet smell filled her nose, but she didn't let go at all. The corners of her eyes seemed to be a little moist, she didn't know what she was worried about, her heart was empty, and her mind was empty. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his shoulders were already stained with blood.

He glanced down at her in his arms, and said something with his lips open and closed, but she didn't hear clearly. Suddenly feeling his body crooked, Gu Zhaoyan opened his eyes and completely sobered up. It turned out that she was sitting by the lake with her head and fell asleep, this season by the lake is really a good place to sleep, rescued her sore hand, shook it, got up and prepared to find a place to sleep well, I didn't want to stumble under my feet, and dispelled her last bit of sleep.

It's a bad feeling to wake up and see yourself falling into the lake, and even though the lake isn't deep, you don't want to go down and dance with the koi! Closing her eyes, ready to wake up a pool of koi, one hand held her wrist firmly, and a warm voice sounded in her ears, "Always so careless!" ”

Gu Zhaoyan's heart was relieved, he opened his eyes, and grabbed the sleeve of the person in front of him, almost rubbing a handful of snot and tears on his body. Sweetly called, "Senior brother! ”

Bai Yu shook his head, "If you're so careless, I won't pull you next time!" As he spoke, he gently pulled her to the stone bench on the shore and sat down. I lowered my head and was about to say more, but I saw that her face was a little pale, and I couldn't help but soften my voice and asked, "What's the matter, but I'm scared!"

Gu Zhaoyan rubbed his eyebrows, trying to recall the dream just now, it seemed to be a memory from his childhood, only clearer, but now it has become blurry again, and he can't even remember their faces. Hearing this, a light smile tugged at the corner of his lips, "It's okay, it's just a dream." ”

The breeze is gentle and the young willows are swaying. The pond is full of lotus flowers, and the koi swim shallowly. A lilac figure was reflected in the water, and the shadow was sufficient, and the corners of the skirt were accidentally soaked in water. But the man didn't seem to care, holding his forehead with one hand, slightly closing his eyes, and being idle. Bai Yu looked a little stunned.

A gust of wind blew, Bai Yu came back to his senses, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly looked away, "Be careful next time, don't sleep by the lake." ”

Gu Zhaoyan didn't care, and stared at him with a smile, "Isn't this a senior brother, it's not bad this or twice anyway." ”

Bai Yu shook his head and whispered, "I may not be able to catch it in the future." He turned and stood with his back to her.

Gu Zhaoyan felt that today's Bai Yu was a little strange. got up and walked slowly in front of him, the person in front of him had an unearthly face, without a trace of fireworks, delicate eyebrows and eyes, the slight curvature of the corners of the lips was just right, a wisp of green silk hung down on his chest, a silver hairpin was pulled up in part, and the rest was scattered on his back. Wearing an azure gown, covered with a layer of light yarn of the same color, the light gauze drags the ground, a white light-grained belt around the waist, the neckline and wide sleeves are embroidered with white patterns, and a pair of boots of the same color are pedaled. But, she's been staring at it for six years!

Gu Zhaoyan rubbed his chin, stretched out a finger and poked his shoulder, and asked cautiously, "Senior brother, what did Master say, won't let me catch fish and practice needles again!" “

Bai Yu looked at her funny, simply hugged his arms, looked at her, and said seriously, "If I hadn't come, you would have disturbed the dream of this lake koi!" “

Gu Zhaoyan spread his hands and said helplessly, "Over the years, I have probably succeeded once, I really don't know if I am your junior sister or this lake koi is your junior sister." “

Bai Yu reached out and patted her head gently, shook her head with a smile, "Okay, let's get down to business!" ”

Gu Zhaoyan rolled his eyes, stretched his waist, sat on the stone bench, slapped his shoulder with his hand, and said lazily, "Senior brother, what did the master say?" “

Bai Yu looked at her and hesitated for a moment, "Master said, let you go down the mountain to practice." ”

Gu Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment, "Down the mountain?" Will my brother go too? ”

Bai Yu nodded and shook his head again. Gu Zhaoyan dragged his chin, "Senior brother, you mean, I went down the mountain alone?" “

Bai Yu sighed, "Yes, I can't accompany you this time." After thinking for a moment, "Senior sister, Master is waiting for you in the back mountain!"

Gu Zhaoyan nodded, got up and shook his dress, "Then I'll go!" He turned around and went back to the back mountain. The wind ruffled her light purple coat and slipped from Bai Yu's raised hand, and he didn't catch anything.
