Chapter 23: The Fire
Night, quiet,
"Further down along the lake, there is only one road, on both sides of the mountain, there are fewer people walking, some weeds are prosperous, but in winter the beasts and other things are almost all hibernating, but you have to pay attention to the lack of food. Further back are sparsely populated villages. Yu Qi smiled, his hair blowing up and blocking his eyes.
Bai Yi swallowed his saliva, feeling a little nervous,
Yu Qi glanced at it and stopped, "Why don't you take the girl to rest for another night, and I'll take the girl down the mountain tomorrow." Luckily? ”
"It's okay, that's trouble!" Bai Yi was relieved.
What a place, beast, oh mama, tired.
"It smells so good." Bai Yi smelled a burst of rich lily of the valley fragrance brought by the wind, "It's lily of the valley." Do you like it?"
"Well, it's cold, your injuries haven't healed yet, let's go back first." Yu Qi packed up the piano, got up, and tidied up his clothes,
Bai Yi picked up the burden and followed behind,
At this time, the path is already a little wet, and you can smell the fragrant fragrance.
I went to the road to waste some energy, and it took a long time to follow the flowing water upstream.
"Slow down." Yu Qi gave Bai Yi a hand,
Bai Yi got his strength, and it was easier. Just looking at the brightness above, Bai Yi was puzzled, "I remember I didn't light a candle when I left!" It won't be so bright when you click it! ”
Yu Qi looked over, the yard was very bright, Bai Yi didn't light a candle, Yu Qi was a little worried, and quickened his pace, it's okay, Aunt Chun is in the house, it's fine.
Bai Yi also quickly went back with Yu Qi's footsteps.
Yu Qi pushed open the small door of the yard, only to see that the raging fire was burning rampantly, and the smoke was filled with smoke above, Yu Qi went to the pool, and poured water with a wooden bucket, but the water seemed to have no effect on the crazy flames,
Bai Yi came in, saw this scene panicked, and hurriedly went to get a wooden barrel to extinguish the fire with water, one time at a time, the fire did not decrease, but burned more and more, and always heard the sound of burning wood in his ears, and from time to time it burned and fell, "boom-" sound.
The more I poured water to extinguish the fire, the more depressed I became, and I couldn't do anything about it.
Before Bai Yi could react, Yu Qi actually poured the water in the barrel from his head and stool, threw it, rushed to the house, kicked the door, who knew that it was locked, Yu Qi kept kicking, and obviously saw that it was locked,
Bai Yi saw Yu Qi in the fire, Bai Yi was afraid that he was too shaft, so he simply ran to take him out, but as soon as he walked in, he inhaled the soot and choked, Bai Yi also rushed in with wet, pulling Yu Qi's sleeves,
"Let's go, let's go!" Bai Yi couldn't move, he didn't speak, just stood there, and kicked the door hard, Bai Yi's tears rolled out of his eyes, and a lot of ash went into his throat, and his voice was very hoarse, and it hurt one more time when he said a word.
Yu Qi ignored it and kicked it. "Uh-open the door."
"It's locked, it can't be opened. Yu Qi-" Bai Yi kept tugging at his sleeve weakly, "Let's go,"
"Let's go!" Yu Qi stopped and broke Bai Yi's hand.
"You're crazy! Yu Qi ~ You are crazy! Your life was saved by you~, if you want to go crazy, I'll go crazy with you-" Bai Yi didn't move, just stood with him, his back already felt the smoke of the fire, and there was some hot pain.
"You go—" Yu Qi tugged at his throat.
Bai Yi cried and wet his whole face, "Come with me~ go out together, let's take revenge, is it good to take revenge-"
Yu Qi clenched his hands, pulled Bai Yi on the opposite side, and hugged him into his arms, and a charred beam fell from it.
The feet are hot, "Okay, let's go." Yu Qi Hengda picked up Bai Yi and rushed out, and a "bang~" sound came into Bai Yi's ears.
In the courtyard, the ground was full of water traces, and the fire swallowed up the house little by little, Yu Qi put down Bai Yi, and the two of them collapsed there, watching, watching little by little collapse, little by little into ruins.
The raging fire was also tired, and with the soothing of the cold winter wind, there was only a small piece of it slowly, but the former house had all become charcoal, and a large smell of burning filled the vicinity, and also filled the hearts of those two people.
Yu Qi sat up with his hands propped up, "Do you know who it is?" ”
"I'm guessing, it's the one who chased me that day."
"Who are those people?"
"I don't know, I only know that there is only one person who wants to kill me, my second sister - Bai Xiyan. Yuqi ~ I'm sorry. Bai Yi sobbed again, feeling that the human life was harmed by himself, Bai Yi's heart was very tight, and he collapsed into a ball.
Yu Qi smiled, "What are you sorry for." ”
Bai Yi lowered his head and faced him, "If it weren't for me, there wouldn't be such a thing, and you would always live like this, but ~ but I don't know why...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
Yu Qi patted Bai Yi's back with his right hand, "Okay,"
Bai Yi wiped his eyes, "I will give you an explanation, since she didn't treat me as a sister, I must also treat her as a sister, Mama has always let me endure it, and now there are two lives, I~, even if I lose my life, I will make her pay the price and give you an explanation." ”
Yu Qi walked up to Bai Yi and hugged her from behind, close to her ear. "You don't have to do anything, because I do."
Yu Qi got up and helped Bai Yi up, "Your Royal Highness Princess, let me send you back!" ”
"Yu Qi~" Bai Yi just thought it was weird, but he couldn't say it.
Yu Qi smiled, as if nothing had happened, so leisurely.
"Lightwave Town, let's go!" Bai Yi followed him, his legs were still sore, his heart was empty, and he looked back for a while, looking at this small courtyard, this small room.
I have to sigh that the world is impermanent, and now there is only a wisp of smoke left when I was talking yesterday. It's like never been, but it's like it's destined.
Destined things, often want to get rid of it, want to can't get it. A single encounter is a life.
A man and a woman, one in front of the other, walked forward on the desolate path,
After walking the trail and walking on the main road, Bai Yi was still carrying the burden, but Yu Qi only carried one piano on his back, and only that piano remained.
"Does this piano have a name?" Bai Yi saw that Yu Qi was bored, so he wanted to find something to say.
"The first time I saw it, it was my father who gave it to my mother, and it was given to me on the day I first met. It was simply called the first meeting, and later my mother gave it to Aunt Chun, and it turned out to be in my hands again. ”
"You, mother, father......"
"Dead,"
"I'm sorry."
"Why do you love to say sorry so much, you are a princess, the most honorable person, you are not sorry for anyone." Yu Qi smiled,
I don't know how long I walked, the sky was bright, but the events of last night were still deeply imprinted in my mind, this was the pimple in the hearts of two people,
Finally saw a lively town, and felt much more comfortable, Yu Qi hurriedly found an inn to live in.
"Two guest officers, one room?" The little two in the store measured the two of them.
"Why, can't you?" Bai Yi asked.
"Yes, of course, in broad daylight...... It's really rare, young people are good, really capable. Xiao Er stared at Yu Qi.
Yu Qili didn't want to pay attention to it, don't overdo it, "Give the room card." ”
"Oh oh oh ~ yes, yes, this is a couple's suite specially prepared by the shop, it is worth having, guest officer, two, two, three dollars." Xiao Er handed over the sign.
Bai Yi was stunned, "What the hell is the couple's suite?" ”
"As long as you can live. Bring another dish of wine and food. Yu Qi took out the money and took the sign and went upstairs.
Bai Yi had to follow, who let himself have no money on him.
On the second floor, Yu Qi opened the door, "Princess, let's rest!" ”
"Just call me Bai Yi, it sounds weird." Bai Yi collapsed on the bed.
"This is the rule," Yu Qi put down the piano after speaking, and sat down on the stool, closing his eyes and resting.
Bai Yi felt uncomfortable, but she also knew that Yu Qi was even more uncomfortable. Stopped, just turned to one side, Bai Yi seemed to have something poked on his waist, took it out and took a look,
It's it, the ring that day in his hand, is a black ring, with a pointed head on the front, a little heavy, Bai Yi held it tightly in his hand, looked at Yu Qi with his eyes closed, Bai Yi put it in the sachet, squinted his eyes and fell asleep.
I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I lay down,
It's just that Yu Qi opened his eyes and looked out the window in a daze, no one knew what he was thinking, no one,
I don't know how long it took, Bai Yi woke up, only to see that the room was empty, and there was no longer a remnant.
Bai Yi got up and walked downstairs, looking at the downstairs full of diners, and he couldn't see the white back.
Bai Yi walked to the side of the little second this morning, he was talking about strange things next to a table of guests, his face was dancing with dragon and phoenix, talking with relish, and spitting everywhere.
The guests listened intently, as if they were there, and suddenly, one of them slapped the table and applauded.
As soon as Bai Yi went, the story ended, and those guests had a bad face.
"Little girl, don't you see the adults talking? Go and go. A thin, lean woman was holding a chicken leg in her mouth, fiddling with her left hand, and her face was old.
"Oh, my ancestor, I'll talk about it later!" Xiao Er is also unfinished,
Bai Yi took Xiao Er's hand, "I'm in a hurry, have you seen the person with me?" Tall, thief good-looking! White clothes, say, do you see it?"
"I see so many people every day, how do you know? However, you can walk along the street where you turn right, there is a back hill behind you, and go there and have a look. ”
"Holo." Bai Yi pulled out his legs and went out,
Go out is the bustling street, people come and go, the face also has its own joy and worry, selling sugar gourds, selling sugar people, wrapped in a big jacket in that pestle, today there are a lot of people, the most interesting thing is that the lotus lamp can be seen everywhere, adults and children are there to buy,
They all walk together in twos and threes, or as a family, Bai Yi wears alone on the street, always feels that everyone on the street is looking at him, always feels that there is someone on his back, and from time to time he turns his head back, simply turns his head back, speeds up his pace, and is close to running.
Sure enough, I walked straight along the street to the small pavilion, followed the path around the corner, and walked up the mountain, where there were many fewer people, because they all gathered in the stream below the pavilion, and took the family to carefully light the candles, and take the lanterns away along the current, and the children would be excited and clap their hands when they put it down.
Or for couples, and the boys get shy after letting go.
