Where there is life, there is hope. Don't really make people angry, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future - Zhang Qining raised his hand and surrendered.

"Zhan Gongzi, Zhan Consultant, Zhan Brother~ I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!"

"Little girl, are you so provoked?" Zhan Suiyu twisted a piece of slippery skin on her neck, a little in love.

Zhang Qining was tickled by him, giggling non-stop, and his stomach was uncomfortable with laughter. "Yes, yes, uncle, you're right."

When they finished fighting, Zhan Suiyu grabbed Zhang Qining, played with her shallow-like fingers instead, and said, "Ji Ran, that kid, it's over if you scare twice, don't keep staring." ”

"Are you jealous?"

Zhan Suiyu smiled: "Don't look at him who has traveled more than me, he is actually not as good as me in terms of dealing with people, especially he is more soft-hearted."

If there is something, you will either be generously uneasy. Rest assured, you won't be able to get out if something happens. It's okay for you to remind you a few words, just don't force it too hard, I'm afraid that he will drill the horns. ”

Zhang Qining lowered his eyes in response, probably understanding what he meant.

"I know what to do. I met him twice, the first time he was a little out of shape because of Tao Xueqi, and the second time he was indecisive by the river. At the time, I thought that this person seemed to be light-hearted, but in fact he was a little soft-hearted.

That Tao Xueqi is very thoughtful, and she can't see through Ji Gongzi, but I don't think it will hurt him. ”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have even had the heart to kill her in order to seal her mouth that day.

"To be honest, I don't think I'm wronged if someone like Ji Gongzi is planted on her."

"What I said sounds like Ji Ran was deceived and should have been." Zhan Suiyu shook his head, in the end, he was his brother, and he still had to stand up for him when it was time to stand up.

"Ji Ran, the word Qiubai. In the past, when several of our brothers got together, we always joked about him, saying that Ji Ran usually has such a good heart and a good temper, and he can still look fine if he is cheated one day. Persimmon picks soft pinch, what is it called Qiubai, it's called Dabai! ”

Speaking of the old things, Zhan Suiyu couldn't help but smile, pinched Zhang Qining's fingertips, and said, "Why is it called Dabai?" There are three reasons for this.

One is Ji Shaoxia's wandering rivers and lakes, chivalrous and righteous, and the last is poor and white.

The second is that no matter how many times he is deceived, he will still help next time, he is too idiotic. In his words, even one out of ten times is true and worth it.

These three... Heh, Ji Ran, this kid has red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is a young man in the rivers and lakes, maybe one day he will be taken by the young lady and pulled to be the prime minister.

So, what is it called Qiubai, just call it Dabai! ”

The jokes of the year, everyone is still young, Ji Ran didn't grow up when he was a child, his body is like a white chicken, boys love to talk nonsense about him, but fortunately, he is not at ease.

Who knew that now it has become a prophecy.

Ji Dabai, Ji Dabai, you really don't fall into one of those three, you really live up to your name, and you are white to the end.

"Tao Xueqi... I've met this guy twice. The Flower God Festival accompanied Ji Ran to pick up people that time, and there were only a few children left at that time. She looked about the same size as she looked, but all the children were huddled together and far away from her. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now ......."

Zhan Suiyu smacked her tongue, thinking that the child was actually very sensitive to those things, maybe he had noticed it early and instinctively stayed away from her.

"You... Don't approve of me helping Ji Ran find Tao Xueqi? Zhang Qining looked back at him and said.

I saw Zhan Suiyu's eyebrows twisted slightly, and then stretched. "No, he wants to find it, what can he do?"

"So you don't really want to? And I- put a fake message on him? Zhang Qining said.

Zhan Suiyu was stunned, then laughed, and circled Zhang Qining in his arms and said, "My baby, you are so good to me." Forget the fake news, I didn't want Ji Ran to find her, I just felt that the girl was a little dangerous, Ji Ran sometimes lacked heart, and the brothers had to look at him.

You see, I'm younger than him, but I'm born to be a father. The bear child listens to you like this - it deserves to be the mother of the child, it is amazing. ”

He whispered in her ear, and then made a fuss in the room for a while.

Facts have proved that don't play hooligan with Zhang Qining, she can accept any trick. The gentleman who didn't get married and played hooligan to tease his fiancée, and didn't want to cross the line, Zhan Suiyu's face was not thick enough, and he was finally defeated and went back to his room.

＊

In another guest room, Ji Ran lay on the bed with his eyes open after washing, thinking about the scene a few days ago, tossing and turning.

He and Xueqi left Suzhou, and he asked her if there was a place she wanted to go.

Tao Xueqi thought about it for a while, and really said a place. "Then - Qingzhou."

"Qingzhou?" Ji Ran thinks it's no problem, but why Qingzhou?

"It's good to go to Qingzhou, what does Xue Qi want to do?" He asked seemingly nothing.

Tao Xueqi's eyes turned to him, and the jade bracelet he gave was worn on her wrist, emitting a clear cold light in the moonlight, which was completely different from its sending temperament, and it was not at all like the style that Ji Ran would choose.

She smiled, "Casually, I heard that there are a lot of fun things along the way, so let's take a stroll over." Yuzhou and Zhengzhou are also good..."

Ji Ran thought for a while and said, "Say something funny...... In fact, Zhengzhou is a good choice. Why don't we go to Zhengzhou first, I heard that the most famous is pottery, porcelain, and burning glass, where the pottery and porcelain are different, and the glazed fish that is burned out is exactly the same as the live in the water.

I heard that the glazed lotus and glazed carp burned by the most famous glazed family in Zhengzhou were put in the release pond, not only the monks who feed them all the year round did not recognize them, but even the carp in the pond did not recognize them. It is known locally as a strange! ”

Ji Ran is usually a fairly stable person, but after falling in love with Tao Xueqi, he sometimes becomes a little naïve, and everything that is rare is taken out as a story. As long as Tao Xueqi smiled, his heart was like smearing honey.

Probably because I was used to this, I really became stupid later.

He proposed to go to Zhengzhou, afraid that Tao Xueqi would not be interested, and he searched his stomach and thought that he had heard of it, even if he had seen it, and he didn't know much about it.

As everyone knows, he had already fallen into the trap laid by Tao Xueqi for him, and in the end, Tao Xueqi just smiled and said, "Okay." "He was stupidly good.

The two went to Zhengzhou, and there were indeed a lot of interesting things in the middle, and Tao Xueqi did not have anything unusual along the way. But when they arrived at the Liao family realm and they were about to rest, Tao Xueqi bumped into a middle-aged woman.

To say that bumping is really just a simple bump, walking on the street head-on and unintentionally bumping into it.

After the lady bumped into Tao Xueqi, she lay down on the ground first, and just when she was about to open her mouth to cry, Tao Xueqi's cold and sweet voice was inserted into it, and said, "Auntie, are you okay?" ”

The man raised his head viciously, opened his mouth and was about to say something, when he saw Tao Xueqi's pale but strangely gorgeous face, he couldn't help but be stunned in place. The originally skillful lines were broken in her throat, and she looked at her with an incredible look in her eyes. He kept stammering, "You, you, you..."

You, you, you, she kept repeating this word, as if something really went wrong. Tao Xueqi squatted down, in front of her, her index finger was raised to her mouth, and she hooked her lips and made a shushing motion.

"Don't talk too much."

She moved, silent.

The woman's pupils were stunned, and Ji Ran happened to notice the movement here at this time, and couldn't help but come over.

"Xue Qi, what's wrong? She's—"

Tao Xueqi shook her head and said, "She bumped into it herself, and then she refused to get up." ”

Blackmail? This word suddenly popped up in Ji Ran's mind, and he couldn't help frowning.

But the woman was dressed very poorly, barely neatly, and sat on the ground without saying a word, as if she had been frightened by something. Maybe it's forced by life, the first time you do this, and now you're at a loss when you find out?

And later he learned that whether it was a poor man, it was he who thought of people's hearts too simply.

"Are you alright?" Ji Ran asked Tao Xue Qidao. Tao Xueqi shook her head and threw a smile at him, but because of her weak body and pale face, that smile was tired with a hint of comfort, which made people feel extremely distressed.

"Wait a minute." Ji Ran said. Then he crouched down and looked at the woman, not knowing what she was thinking, her eyes trembling and her lips twitching.

Snow Qi? Tao Xueqi?

The name, the face... Is it really her?

No, it's impossible, it's impossible, how can Tao Xueqi still be alive! How can you still be so young?!

"Auntie? Auntie? Ji Ran called her several times, but there was no response. Seeing that there was something wrong with her spirit, as if she had lost her soul, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, the other party wouldn't be abnormal, right?

Seeing that Ji Ran was a little helpless towards her, Tao Xueqi said loudly: "Auntie." ”

The sound seemed to call her soul back, her body trembled violently, and suddenly she shouted "ah", and suddenly reached out to push the person away. This was too sudden, Ji Ran didn't react for a while, and was obviously pushed to the ground by her.

Before he could say anything, the man fled in a rage.

"What's going on, her?" Ji Ran slowly stood up, thinking that there were really a lot of weirdos in these years.

Tao Xueqi looked at the direction the person was going, pursed her lips into an arc where Ji Ran couldn't see, a chill flashed in her eyes, and said, "Maybe she suddenly remembered something." ”

Originally, it was just a strange thing, and Ji Ran didn't feel too relieved, this thought lasted until Tao Xueqi disappeared, and he heard that there were thieves who robbed houses in the Liao family.

At first, he didn't connect the two things, until he was looking for Tao Xueqi, and he heard Xiao Er at the front desk of the inn say that he saw someone dressed as a bandit sneaking into the inn that night.

"A bandit sneaked in? Why didn't you say it earlier! Ji Ran put his sword across the cabinet and said angrily, his move couldn't help but make the surrounding diners look back.

The little second was frightened by his momentum, stuck to the wine cabinet in the back row, took off the rag on his shoulder to protect him, and stammered: "This, this, this is a common thing in the Liao family world!" We call this Shanggong, and the bandits in the stockade are all outlaws on the rivers and lakes, and the government may not be able to control it. We, we open a store to do small business, what else can we do? It's nice to be able to save your life..."

His last sentence was very small because of his weak heart.

"You!"

Ji Ran was blocked in his heart because of his words, but could he blame that little er?

He can't understand the crooked reasoning, but it is common sense that has existed for a long time in the Liao family world. After all, they just want to save their lives, so what's wrong?

His hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten, he withdrew the sword to his waist, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the stockade?" ”

Xiao Zhan trembled and reported a place, and breathed a sigh of relief after Ji Ran turned around.

"My mom, this season's young man is not quite the same as the one uploaded in the rivers and lakes?" Such voices kept coming from inside the inn.

Ji Ran didn't pay attention to what the people behind her said, it had been a day and a night since Xue Qi disappeared, and I hoped that nothing would happen to her.

He hired a horse to gallop all the way to the place that Xiao Er said, and saw the billowing smoke rushing up to the sky from afar, he was shocked, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he clamped the horse's belly with his legs and rode the horse over.

The brilliant firelight rushed into his field of vision, and the black smoke rushed into the sky, as if the fire had painted a strange and bizarre human tragedy in mid-air.

He dismounted, saw someone in the fire, and immediately rushed over, but the fire was so great that he couldn't get close. The women and children, who were nothing more than defenseless, shouted at them: "Don't go near there, go through the canal!" ”

The men didn't seem to hear what he said, but just raised their hands and clenched their fists and waved at him, making exaggerated, strange and meaningless movements.

After a while, Ji Ran realized that they were separated by some invisible wall, and now they were trying to knock on that wall.

This is true not only here, but everywhere in the village where there is an escape, the stockade is now an airtight box, and no matter what is done is in vain, there is no second choice but to struggle and torture in a state of panic.

The fire burned very quickly, and it was clear that the people inside could not get out, but the fire could pass through the "wall" and come outside, and the flames licked the surrounding grass and trees, and the fire instantly increased by a circle.

The situation was urgent, Ji Ran drew his sword, and a cold sword light slashed towards the burning trees, and three or four trees fell down in the direction of the village, and some of the flames on the trees blew into the canal not far away with the sword wind. The sword light like this flashed more than ten times, and finally controlled the scope of the fire near the wall, and it would not endanger the surrounding area for the time being.

The horror on the faces of the people in the fire deepened, and they desperately hysterical towards the outside world, which was a deep fear of death, but from the outside they could only be seen struggling in the fire and staging a tragic pantomime.

Ji Ran clenched his fists and desperately looked for Tao Xueqi's figure in the firelight. Although he didn't know where the fire came from, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Gradually, gradually, a petite figure strolled out of the firelight. Ji Ran's gaze was instantly grabbed by the figure, and he looked at her motionlessly.

He knew that his face must be very ugly now.

The hired horse suddenly raised its eyes vigilantly, and then, as if feeling some crazy neighing, it broke away from the tree beside it, and with its repeated efforts, the reins finally came loose from the trunk, and it immediately turned around and galloped away.

At this time, the figure that appeared in the firelight also completely appeared in front of Ji Ran's eyes.

“... Snow, Qi. He shuddered and moved his lips. Just as he wanted to go over, he saw the women and children on the side rushing towards her.

"Don't touch her!" He screamed, but unbelievably Tao Xueqi raised his eyes to look over, and only waved his hand at them, and a black blade-like thing slashed through their bodies.

There was no flesh and blood, not even a trace of flesh, and the men suddenly collapsed to the ground, motionless as if they were dead.

Ji Ran didn't believe what he saw.

Tao Xueqi raised her eyes to look at him and moved her lips: "Fool..."

From the morning onwards, the sky was gray, as if foreshadowing something.

A white-purple lightning streaked across the sky, thunder rolled in the sky, Tao Xueqi glanced up, and the corners of her lips hooked. The fire around her seemed to come to her senses, and she bowed down again in submission.

Ji Ran watched her disappear into the flickering firelight, her legs and feet seemed to grow on the ground under her feet, and she couldn't take a single step.

Then, the fire burned everything out, leaving nothing behind.
