Chapter 19: Heartache in the Fire
"Yes. When General Ai died, the young master cried. The old woman bowed her head and poured out the flour.
"What about the other time?" Qianling asked.
"I haven't seen it."
Haven't seen it? Could it be that since he was a child, Ai Chu cried so once?
Qianling thought of another possibility. "Mother-in-law, have you always been by Ai Chu's side?"
The old woman admitted calmly: "After the Ai family was destroyed, I began to take care of the young master's diet and daily life. Before that, I didn't have much contact with him. The old woman was so attentive to the flour that she did not feel ashamed of not being taken seriously.
I see.
It seems that the old woman doesn't know Ai Chu very well.
Qian Ling focused his attention on the main room and found Ai Chu sitting motionless. He's been sitting like that all morning? Could it be that you are practicing? Does spiritual power need to be practiced like this?
Then she heard someone next door shouting to put out the fire, and at the same time smelled a puff of smoke.
Chiling focused her attention on the next door, and found that it was only a small fire.
Qianling continued to add firewood.
After a while, the fire next door grew bigger and continues to grow at an alarming rate!
"There's a fire next door!" Qianling stood up.
The old woman was about to chop vegetables, and when she heard this, she rolled her eyes, thinking about Qianling's powerful perception ability, and immediately put down the kitchen knife and rushed to the next door.
Qianling followed, and the fire had already burned to the beams of the house!
Unfortunately, the family next door is all outcasts!
The old woman immediately mobilized the spirits, gathered the spirits one by one, and went to wrap the fire, and when the tongues of fire were wrapped, they quickly disappeared.
I thought that the old woman should be able to extinguish the fire, but who knew that the old woman didn't move even after pouting!
"My spirit was consumed too much in yesterday's deliverance, and my spirit is not enough."
Tang Baiyi's memories told Qianling that everyone's spirit is limited, and once it is used up, it takes a certain period to recover.
The stronger the person, the more spirits there are, and the faster they recover.
"But there's a kid in there!" Qianling clearly felt that there was a baby in the room. The baby didn't cry or fuss, but there were still vital signs, and it was likely that he had passed out!
The husband and wife saw that the old woman could not do anything, and the fire instantly burned again, and they were so anxious that they cried. The mother even wanted to rush in to save the child.
The father stamped his feet and said, "I'll go find a spiritual priest to save my life!" ”
At this time, the spirits of the city were concentrated around the city walls to guard and to rescue from the east.
Qian Ling concluded from these people's remarks that they didn't know that the legendary Ai Chu lived next door.
Qian Ling turned around and was about to go back to call Ai Chu, but the old woman grabbed her and shook her head.
Qian Ling pointed to the fire on the house: "If it burns like this, it will burn to our yard." ”
"I'm going to get someone to help." The old woman followed in the footsteps of the father and walked out.
It seemed that no matter what, she didn't want to bother Ai Chu.
After all, it takes a lot of souls to extinguish such a big fire. And Ai Chu must ensure that his spirit is sufficient at all times.
And it is very likely that Ai Chu will only extinguish fires and will not save people.
Suddenly the baby woke up and was crying loudly in the house!
Qianling bit her lip.
Ji Haochu once told her that when she was discovered by Ji Haochu, it was in a fire.
Qianling took a sheet, soaked it in water, covered its mouth and nose, and rushed into the house.
The mother next to her was stunned.
Qian Ling paid close attention, observing all the movements around him, and then accurately found the safest path, successfully rushed to the bed, and picked up the baby.
The temperature of the smoke rose rapidly, and the sparks floated over, and Qianling's clothes suddenly burned!
Qianling regretted it, she really shouldn't have come in!
Qian Ling extinguished the fire on his clothes with a damp cloth, his arm was burned, and his respiratory tract was almost unable to breathe due to the smoke of the high temperature!
Qianling knelt on the ground weakly.
At this time, she sensed that Ai Chu was alarmed by the fire and walked out of the room.
Ai Chu flew into the air without hesitation.
When the baby's mother saw this, she cried out loudly: "Help! There's someone in the house! ”
Ai Chu was indifferent. But when he saw that the fire was about to reach his yard, he mobilized his spirit and prepared to extinguish the fire.
Qian Inspiration knew Ai Chu's position, and she raised her head.
At this moment, Ai Chu saw Tang Bai also kneeling in the middle of the house and looking up at him through the hole in the roof where a pile of tiles had fallen!
Tang Baiyi was surrounded by flames, surrounding her, and the smoke smoked her eyes into tears!
Her head was raised, weak and struggling; The red pen is smudged with thrilling despair; But those eyes that had never spoken were full of hope at this time, as if they were appealing to the gods with tears: "Save me"!
Tang Baiyi has never been so beautiful. Chu Chu is so pitiful that he can scratch into everyone's hearts.
Ai Chu's eyes widened in panic, and he subconsciously rushed into the sea of fire!
Like an arrow shot from a full bow, he fell into the room with speed and force, and the ground trembled.
He stood in front of Qianling, and the spirits around him kept converging, centering on him, quickly engulfing the surrounding fire.
He looked down at the thousand spirits, and the wind from the extinguishing of the fire blew through his hair and clothes, blowing through his angry countenance.
"Tang Baiyi! Don't you want to live! Ai Chu was furious, roaring, and the green tendons on his neck burst out one by one! He clenched his fists, his eyes red from the hidden anger, and even covered with a layer of mist that seemed to be there.
Qian Ling was finally able to breathe, she gasped and blinked, tears still flowing.
She knelt down, looked up at the angry Ai Chu, burst into tears, and suddenly cried!
"Thank you, thank you for saving me!" Qianling pulled the hem of Ai Chu's clothes, and there was a joy of rebirth after the catastrophe.
She bit her lip and tried to control her crying, hissing, her body kept shaking, like a flower blown down in the wind, causing people to be sad and sad, with a delicate heart, she picked it up and cried when she was gone.
Ai Chu's body stiffened.
He looked down at Qianling. Watch her cry.
All the anger disappeared in a flash.
He actually felt the blockage and burning pain in his throat when he held his father's body a year ago.
What happened to him? Is he feeling sorry for Tang Baiyi?
How could he feel sorry for her!
Tang Bai also rushed in by herself, it was she who didn't want to die, she was stupid!
Why did he feel sorry for her?
But at the same time, he had a hint of pleasure.
I am happy because I saved Tang Baiyi, because he is her god!
In the past year, he has killed so many people in the Moon Swallowing Palace, saved so many innocent people, and thanked him for thousands of people, but he has never had such joy as today.
Ai Chu stretched out his hand, wanting to cover Tang Baiyi's head and comfort her.
The stool next to it collapsed with a crunch.
Ai Chu quickly retracted his hand.
What's he doing! Ai Chu, are you crazy!
The fire was quickly extinguished, and the baby's mother ran in, crying and taking the child from Qianling's arms, and seeing that the child was still alive, she immediately took the child to the doctor.
Qian Ling also controlled his emotions, wiped his tears, and stood up calmly.
She seemed to have experienced the moment before she died in that world, so she couldn't hold back a little.
"I'm sorry, I'm out of shape. Thank you for saving your life. Qian Ling took a breath, bowed his head to Ai Chu, and walked out indifferently.
Ai Chu was shocked by Qianling's expression!
What does it mean to thank him so indifferently!
Isn't it her who cried so heartbreakingly just now!
"Tang Baiyi!" Ai Chu roared.
His heart is very chaotic now, and Tang Bai has been chasing him closely, and even used various means to seduce him.
But just when he actually felt sorry for her just now, Tang Bai left so indifferently!
What did she take him for! Playing around?
