Chapter 45: Illusion III

The boy sat down by the haystack and waited for a long time, and when the night was getting deeper and the people in the village were asleep, the boy got up from the haystack. She searched in front of and behind the house for a while, and found a firewood branch out of nowhere, and lit a fire, but it didn't look like it was for illumination, and she couldn't get warmth.

It soon became clear to me that she was setting the fire.

When the winter season is approaching, every family has prepared a lot of firewood and grass and stacks it in front of the house and behind the house. She lit a bush here and burned a handful there, and soon the flames were in the house, and some of the people in those houses were awake and some were not. The smoke grew louder and bigger, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and it burned into pieces. The people who woke up rushed out of the house, and even if they poured water from the well, they could not save the fire. They ran in a panic, crying helplessly, and the sound of frightened babies crying in confusion, and the fire burned through the thatched roof of which house, and with a bang, half the house collapsed.

My master and I watched from afar, and the person who lit the fire seemed to be frightened herself, and she stood there watching the fire break out for a while, and quietly slipped away from the crowd. Everyone was watching the fire, but no one paid attention to her.

She carried a shriveled little baggage and ran away in the dark.

The village was burned and almost all of its houses were destroyed, and the middle of winter was approaching, leaving it in a miserable situation. There were also two families, I don't know if they slept soundly or for some reason, they didn't run out of the fire.

Shigong pointed to the direction she left and whispered, "Her burden is definitely not temporarily packed now, it has been prepared early." ”

And what about arson? Was it in a hurry, or was it prepared early?

For such a young child, how long has she been thinking about doing such a thing in her heart?

My master took my hand and continued to walk forward, everything around me was shattered, as if blown away by a strong wind, and the full moon was in the sky. Fishing fires are lit on the river.

This is a familiar situation.

The river breeze blows, and the big flag on the bow of the ship is waving with the wind.

"Night Fragrance Class".

"Yes."

I feel that everything started from this trip to Tujiazhuang, how can I forget it?

Shi Gong pointed to a shadow on the bank of the river: "I was there at that time. ”

I looked there, it was dark, and I could only see a few boats moored in the shade of the trees, but in which boat was he at that time, and did he see me?

The silver stars on the bow of the ship fell, and the fine fragments of light dragged their long tails, like long rains in summer. Two figures flew out diagonally. It was a fluttering gesture as if it had no weight. Like two light swallows, and like flowers and leaves blown away by the wind.

The one on the left is me, and the one on the right is Wu Zhen.

At that time, I really didn't know how to converge. I thought I was already cautious.

"The one on the left...... That's her. ”

I hummed softly.

Of course I know that the one on the left is me.

What was on my mind at the time?

Although I still remember everything, the mood at that time, as well as the details, are already very vague.

The boy standing at the bow of the boat was a little taller than he had been when he set the fire, and he was still as thin as a firewood stick.

She was stunned for a moment. I bent down and picked something up.

As she straightened up, a figure flew up the bow of the ship.

My master's hand suddenly tightened.

This man is so fast that I just feel dazzled, but I can't see which direction he came from.

He was talking to the child, and we were not far away, but we didn't hear anything. Wind. The sound of the waves on the river mingled.

They didn't say a few words, the man took out something and gave it to Bai Wan, and Bai Wan also handed over the thing in the palm of his hand.

I know what it is.

That's the earring I lost.

Come to think of it...... We changed into men's clothes. The earrings were picked up later, and the burden was not wanted to be opened, so the earrings were wrapped in a handkerchief and placed on the body. I can't remember where I lost it, and I don't know how it got into Qi Boxuan's hands.

The mystery in my heart is solved.

But this is insignificant.

Qi Boxuan, is it the one who manipulates Bai Wan behind his back?

No. No.

He doesn't know how to do illusions, it doesn't make sense.

The one who manipulated Bai Wan. In other words, among those people, there must be a master of illusion, at least- no worse than the level of Wu Zhen.

But what did Qi Boxuan give Bai Wan?

Shi Gong was obviously also extremely curious, and took two steps forward, and we were already standing behind Bai Wan.

She didn't notice anything, and she clutched a pearl the size of a walnut tightly in her hand.

Such beads are obviously not available to this poor girl, they must have been given to her by Qi Boxuan just now.

It's so generous, and I don't care about these orbs. In terms of value, this pearl is many times more valuable than my earrings.

Bai Wan stood there in a daze, not knowing what to think, the lantern on the bow of the boat swayed, and the light shining on her face flickered and dimmed, and it seemed that the face had added a bit of horror.

She quickly tucked the beads on her body and turned and went into the cabin.

"She should be at this time, the first time she saw Wu Ning......" Shigong said softly.

Yes.

For the first time -

What happened after that, no one could have imagined.

We stood at the bow of the boat for a while, this dream was not over, and Shigong did not seem to be in a hurry to leave.

He looked at the small boat moored in the distance, and there was an indescribable look on his face, and the moonlight sprinkled all over the river, and the silver waves were like scales.

It was the passenger boat that Wu Zhen and I were on.

I can't say what I feel in my heart, some emotion, and some nostalgia.

The scenes of the past can only be reproduced in dreams.

After a while, Shigong said, "Let's go." ”

He walked straight out of the boat, and I followed.

In the dream, we did not sink downward, our feet stepped on the surface of the river, and the water waves were like smoke.

Ling Bo stepped on the waves and walked a few steps forward, and his eyes were bright, the lotus fragrance was fragrant, and the water was clear, which was completely different from the dark situation in the world of suitable talents.

This is Tujiazhuang.

It's just that the cloister is empty and quiet, the fallen leaves on the path have not been cleaned, and the windows of a row of houses are closed from a distance.

At this time, the owner of Tu Zhuang should have passed away. How Mrs. Tu is still unknown.

There was an accident at the birthday banquet, the owner of Tu Zhuang committed suicide, Mrs. Tu was poisoned, and I was not in the mood to look at the village at that time.

It seems to have fallen into decay overnight. As soon as the pillars fell, the people scattered again. The house seems to be like a person, with spirit and energy.

I saw Bai Wan.

She wears a short purple skirt with a bright red belt. This dress is really eye-catching, like a costume in the night fragrance class. There was no longer a family guard in the village, and she walked along the cloister in seclusion.

I remember that the day after the accident or the third day, the guests dispersed, and the night incense class should have pulled out the boat and left. Now it seems that it is not gone yet.

Bai Wan, where is this going?

————————

The weather is cold, and everyone should pay attention to their bodies.

Uh, the update is steadily recovering.

Although, although...... Well, even if you are beaten, you also ask for a ticket and ask for a message. (To be continued)
