Chapter Twenty-Four: The Burning Flower

Masters are at the forefront.

Behind him, followed by Red Maiden's parents and younger brother.

The three of them lined up, stepping barefoot on the stones on the ground.

Their eyes were staring straight ahead, blank and blank.

They walked as fast as they could, and the Red Maiden followed behind, quickening her pace, but her speed kept her farther and farther away. She called her loved ones by name, and they simply ignored her.

The small mountain village is very quiet late at night.

All the neighbors fell asleep.

On the moon in the sky, a layer of rich cover, faintly stealing light, illuminated the quiet mountain village.

The stones on the ground turned white.

The red girl followed her distant relatives and trotted forward.

Walk through mountain roads.

I don't know how long it took, but when the red girl turned around, she couldn't see the small mountain village she lived in.

And his parents and younger brother were still walking with that man.

There are more and more white stones on the ground.

The red girl found that the place she was in at the moment was a mountain on one side, and a big river with rolling waves on the other.

In the not-so-bright moonlight, the river was tumbling.

The waves hit the huge stones, splashing up droplets and hitting the red girl's face.

The Red Girl became more and more frightened as she walked.

But her family was ahead, and she didn't dare to stop.

Because she knew that once she stopped, she and them would be separated forever.

The red girl had a thought in her heart that she must stop her parents from leaving.

After walking for such a long time, she was already very tired.

But with this thought in her heart, the red girl insisted on moving forward.

The master finally stopped at a mountain pass.

On the side of the mountain is a small road, and there is no end in sight to the top.

It's pitch black, and it looks like people's vests are slightly cold.

The tall man looked at it for a moment, then turned back and whispered, as if to say something to the man who was following him.

Just as he was about to turn around, he finally found the red girl who had been following behind.

The master paused.

After that, he walked towards the Red Girl.

The tall man's pace is very slow.

Every step on the stone seems to be a diaphragm.

The red girl saw the master who was gradually coming over, and she was very nervous for a while.

Standing in front of the red girl, the master looked down at her for a while, and then suddenly asked in a thick voice: "It's really strange, why did you follow here, what is the reason for this?" Why are you here? ”

The Red Maiden didn't know what he meant.

She looked up and looked at the face of the tall man who couldn't see clearly.

The body was trembling, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Heavy breathing, one at a time, made a dull sound.

The master actually stretched out his hand, and the red girl saw that it was a wooden stake.

I saw that the wooden stake probed at the red girl's snort, and then the master withdrew his hand and said in surprise: "You are not dead, you are not dead?" ”

The red girl looked at the master at a loss.

The master was even more frightened.

I saw him take a step back and shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, it's impossible at all, if a person doesn't die, how can he run to this place?" This is not supposed to be a place for the living......"

After muttering like this for a while, the Red Girl became more and more flustered when she saw him.

After a while, the master regained his composure.

He said to the red girl: "Since you are a living person, don't come with you anymore, there are some places where you shouldn't come, you won't be able to get out when you come......"

said, regardless of whether the red girl understood it or not.

He turned around again and walked over to the family of three.

With a wave of his hand at them, the master walked up the mountain alone.

When the family of three saw it, they looked back at the red girl at the same time as they walked up the road.

Again, they held out their hands to the Red Maiden.

Among them, the mother was full of tears, although she didn't speak, but the three of them kept waving the red girl, signaling her to go back.

The Red Girl was also crying.

She shouted for her relatives not to leave her.

But as the master walked on the mountain road, the family of three also followed.

The river next to the mountain road began to roll even more violently, and the waves hit the big rocks, splashing more than a meter high.

On that side, an even bigger torrent is coming.

The wind was strong, and countless fallen leaves were blowing in from all directions.

Like a knife, cut into the face of the red girl.

Seeing that the relatives all walked up the mountain road, the red girl didn't care so much, she also walked up.

The frenzied leaves around her, falling on her skin.

Scratches were made.

The Red Maiden endured the pain and followed them up.

When I went up the mountain, there was no white stone on the ground, but there was something else.

It was clusters of red flowers.

It exudes a strange smell, not a fragrance, and it smells sometimes faint and sometimes very heavy.

Those flowers, one by one.

It's like fire, it's burning.

In the air, the smell of the red girl gradually smelled, it seemed to be the smell of burnt grain, like the smell of ripe wheat when the millet in the family was ripe, and her parents were with her, erecting it in the farmland and burning it all over the sky.

Along the mountain road all the way to the night, the relatives on the mountain walked faster and faster.

The Red Maiden found that no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't stop at their pace.

And at this moment, she is already very tired.

Seeing the figure of the family, and finally disappeared into the night, the red girl's body went soft, and all the fatigue in her body was suppressed.

Then, as soon as she collapsed, she sat down on the ground.

In a daze, she saw that all around her was full of those fiery red flowers.

They were all around them, and they began to bloom, and the smell of cooking was everywhere.

The red girl used the last bit of strength in her body to touch the nearest flower. But who knows, as soon as the hand touches it, the flower begins to burn.

Gradually, all the flowers around me began to burn.

She tried to escape, but she didn't have any strength.

The Red Maiden was on fire, her clothes were all on fire, and then her hair, and her skin.

She wanted to scream, but she couldn't get a single voice out of her throat.

There was more and more fire on her body, and strangely, the red girl didn't feel pain.

Not a little pain, nothing.

Slowly, she felt as if she had flown up, flying very high.

Looking down, the fire was still burning.

And on her body, there are a pair of extra wings.

With a flick, she flew higher.

There was actually a trace of joy in her heart, this feeling had never been felt before, she wanted to know where her relatives were, so she spread her wings and flew forward.

In his mouth, there was also a "whoosh" sound......
