Chapter 33: Flame Sky

"Can you tell me what's your name?" Frost pulled back his body that had been leaning forward a bit, and asked in a slow tone.

"I don't have a name." The young man's eyes darkened, a trace of complicated hesitation flashed, and he lowered his head.

"Would you like to go back with me to heal these injuries first? And then follow me? Ning Shuang was stunned for a moment, and slowly stood up, while bending slightly and stretching out his hand.

The boy looked up at her, then let go of the hand holding his stomach and hesitated to put it on Frost's hand.

Ning Shuang smiled slightly, helped him up, took his hand, and walked out of the crowd.

The chatter of the people around him became louder, Leng Yun's breath suddenly became cold, and where his eyes swept over, people subconsciously panicked and avoided it, and consciously silenced.

Yan Feifei stepped forward, looked at the young man a few times, then withdrew her gaze, and walked quietly side by side with Ning Shuang.

The boy let her hold his hand, and although he felt a little uncomfortable, he did not struggle.

After entering Deshengju, Ning Shuang first asked the young man for a glass of warm boiled water, and then took a pill from Yan'er's hand and handed it to the young man.

"You take this painkiller first, and then I'll prescribe you another medicine when we get back from dinner, okay?" Ning Shuang looked at him and said, his tone was not hurried, and he discussed it seriously with the young man.

The boy wanted to say that he was not afraid of pain and did not need to take medicine, but the different light in her eyes made him unable to refuse.

The boy silently took the medicine from her hand and put it in his mouth.

"Feifei, you go up and wait for some good food and wait for me first." Ning Shuang said to Yan Feifei, and on the other hand, she told Yan'er to go to Xiao Er to ask for some hot water and borrow a set of smaller clothes to send to the lounge in the backyard for guests to rest.

Xiao Er quickly brought hot water, towels, clothes and other things to the lounge.

"Do you need this brother to help you?" Ning Shuang stood at the door, looked at Leng Yun on the side, and asked.

"I can do it myself." The young man replied very quickly, and at the same time subconsciously looked at the cold wind, only to see that the man who had just been an icicle was also looking at himself, and when he saw that he looked over, he actually barked his teeth at himself, and then smiled weirdly, the young man felt a little embarrassed, and turned his face away.

Ning Shuang naturally saw the small interaction between the two, and she was relieved, so she went to the front with Yan'er and waited.

Leng Yun shrugged his shoulders when he saw that the young man had turned his face away, disapproving. Although he was rejected by the young man, Leng Yun still kindly went over and picked up the half-human-high wooden bucket, poured some water into the basin, and then beckoned to the young man: "Boy, come here." ”

The boy stood still: "I wash it myself." ”

"I know you're coming by yourself, but you're standing so far away, how are you going to wash yourself?" Leng Yun smiled and continued to tease the boy.

"You go out first." The boy insisted as he glared at him.

"Okay, okay, I'll go out first." Leng Yun stood up with the edge of the basin and really walked out.

The young man watched him come over, relaxed a little, and was secretly thinking that when he would close the door first when he went out, the cold wind that walked beside him paused, and the young man immediately became nervous again, and looked up at him.

I saw Leng Yun slowly raise his big hand, and then when he showed his white teeth, the big hand fell on his head, the young man stared at him with wide eyes, but he smiled more happily and quickly rubbed his unkempt hair a few times.

"Boy, you need to wash yourself!" Leng Yun glanced at the young man's embarrassed expression, and finally pinched two more on his shoulders before he strode out of the door with a smile.

Ning Shuang and Yan'er waited in front for about three quarters of an hour, and Leng Yuncai and the young man who had finished washing and changing clothes walked over one after another.

Ning Shuang glanced at the two of them a few times, and took the young man's hand again: "Let's go!" ”

After entering the box, Ning Shuang brought him to the table: "Come, sit down and eat first!" ”

The young man was very surprised, looked at him fixedly, then looked at the others on the side, and shook his head gently: "I'll eat on the side." ”

"Since you are willing to follow me, then you must first learn not to look down on yourself, you, can you?" Ning Frost asked him softly, but there was a firmness in his voice that no one could refuse.

"I, yes!" The boy did not hesitate this time, and nodded heavily.

"Alright, let's sit down and eat!" Ning Shuang reached out and touched his head, and said softly.

Seeing Ning Shuang's hand stretched towards his head, the young man's eyes flashed, and his expression was a little weird.

After saying goodbye to Yan Feifei at the intersection, Ning Shuang first let Leng Feng take the carriage around to a ready-to-wear shop in front, got off the car and picked out a few seasonal clothes for the young man, and then went to the Huichun Hall.

The young man changed into well-fitting clothes, although he still pursed his lips and didn't say a word, but the whole person looked a lot neater after all, the young man was really thin, and his complexion was also very bad, but his facial features looked very delicate.

The boy sat in the corner, his thin back straight, his hands on his knees, the hem of his clothes still flat, his head bowed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ning Shuang looked at him carefully, the boy looked like he should have been well educated before, although he was silent, but he was not restrained, and he had a sense of arrogance in his bones and a calmness that ordinary children rarely have, it was not difficult to see that the boy's background should not be bad, but, I don't know what happened later, so that the boy fell into the situation he is in today?

"Can you read and write?" Although she knew the answer, Ning Frost asked.

"Yes." The boy replied.

Frost smiled lightly, and the boy replied "yes", not "some".

The boy looks like he is only in his teens, and judging from the injuries on his body, he is afraid that he has been out of exile for some time, and these days must not have the opportunity for him to continue to read and write, so even if the child has received a good education, it will not take more than four or five years to complete the calculation.

Ordinary children, four or five years, I am afraid that many words will not be able to read completely. Although this young man seems to be not very old, he has a very calm temperament, which is a positive answer "yes", he must really have some skills, and he seems to be a smart child.

"Then you might as well give yourself a name."

The boy was stunned, he almost didn't remember that he once had a name, and that name contained his parents' expectations for him, witnessed all the warmth of his growth, and recorded all the good memories of his childhood...... It's just that that name also burns his deepest nightmare.

He could no longer use that name, which could only be erased from everyone's memory......

After that, he never thought of giving himself another name, none of that mattered to him, even, he once felt. It's not important to be alive either.

However, his life is no longer just his own, so he is not even qualified to die......

The young man looked at Ning Shuang blankly, but his eyes didn't seem to fall on her, and there were many complexities and sorrows hidden in his eyes that shouldn't have been at his age, and his expression was a little confused.

The carriage was strangely quiet, the smile on the corner of Ning Shuang's mouth remained unchanged, his eyes were clear and bright, if Qin Moyu was in the car, he would definitely be surprised, Ning Shuang, who had always only faced him with a straight face, could smile so gently and quietly.

Naturally, the boy was not so surprised, he just felt that her smile had a kind of magic that could calm people's hearts.

The boy remembered the cries and screams that filled the courtyard that night and the raging flames that reflected the red sky, and muttered two words: "Flame sky"

......

Criminal Department, after Qiu Ruoshui stayed in the Criminal Department for two days, she received a handwritten letter secretly sent by Gu An, and she sat motionless for half an hour after reading the letter.

Later, under the personal interrogation of Master Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he finally wrote a confession.

After taking the confession of the Qiu family's painting, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not dare to delay for a moment, and asked people to hurry up and prepare the horse to enter the palace.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

The little eunuch led the Shangshu of the Criminal Department in, and bowed down and retreated.

The emperor was sitting behind the imperial case, bowing his head to drink tea, and when he saw the Shangshu of the Criminal Department coming in, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, and continued to drink tea.

"Weichen see Your Majesty!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department took two steps forward and bowed down.

"Aiqing, please get up!" The emperor finally put down the teacup and said slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"How's going on with Yunfeng Mountain?" The emperor got up and walked slowly to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Qiu family has already confessed, this is the Qiu family's confession." The criminal department Shangshu presented Qiu's confession with both hands.

The emperor glanced at the file in his hand, turned around and walked back to the imperial case and sat down.

Gonggong Tian stepped forward to take the file and bowed down to send it to the imperial case.

......

Not long after Shangshu of the Criminal Department left the Criminal Department, a small official quietly left the Criminal Department under the pretext of convenience and turned into an alley behind the yamen.

Jing Ninghou was eating when he received the news of Qiu Ruoshui's confession, the housekeeper came in from outside in a hurry, leaned over and prayed in his ear, and for a while his blood surged, and before he could swallow a mouthful of food, he choked in his throat, his face was pale and coughed again and again, and the people hurriedly handed him tea and patted his back for a long time, and finally relieved his breath.

"Go to the study." Just after breathing a sigh of relief, Jing Ninghou immediately walked out of the dining room with a dark face, and the voice behind him was gloomy and compassionate.

The housekeeper hurriedly followed, and at the same time ordered someone to call Zhang Yi.
