Chapter 3 Set fire to the mountain
"Master!" Kong Lingfeng pushed open the door with a palm and shouted in a hurry.
He has been guarding the door, afraid of disturbing Xiao Chengyue's treatment, so he has not dared to come in, but at the moment, the situation is urgent, and he can't care so much.
"What's the situation?" Xiao Chengyue let go of his hand, grabbed his clothes and put them on quickly, and looked out of the house with a serious expression.
"Our whereabouts were discovered, and at this moment their people gathered at the foot of the mountain, and kept throwing arrows at the mountain, and the arrows were tied with sparks, and now the grass and trees were dry in the severe winter, and they were ready to set fire to the mountain. Master, hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late if you don't leave. ”
Kong Lingfeng finished speaking in one breath, and a burning arrow outside the house instantly penetrated in, and the mattress immediately caught fire.
"Let's go." Xiao Chengyue gave an order, and subconsciously grabbed Lin Qi and was about to go out.
"No, grandpa and grandma still have Xiao Wu in the house, I have to take them with me." As he spoke, Lin Qi rushed out of the door.
But at that time, a sharp sword roared in, with a strong smell of kerosene, fortunately, Xiao Chengyue reacted very quickly, pushed her out with one palm, and narrowly avoided it.
Lin Qi can't care so much, the two old people have a life-saving grace for her, after a month of getting along, she treats the two old people as her own relatives, and she can't leave them alone.
"Grandma, little five......" Lin Qi pushed the door into the house and kept shouting.
"Girl, we're here."
"Sister......
Lin Qi turned around to look over, the two old men were holding the little girl, they were hiding under the table, and when they saw Lin Qi, Xiao Wu happily ran out of the old grandmother's arms, and wanted to come to Lin Qi.
But at that time, a sharp arrow shot straight into the window, and an arrow pierced Xiao Wu's heart.
"Sister...... Sister ......" Xiao Wu called in a low voice twice, and fell to the ground, and the smile froze at the corner of his mouth at that moment.
A sharp arrow pierces the chest, and the fire burns.
A ball of fireball quickly rushed up, enveloping the small figure on the ground, and in an instant, a smell of tar mixed with human flesh came to the nostrils.
"Little Five......" Lin Qi seemed to have something in his head, and his heart fell straight down like a boulder.
The diffuse firelight lit up her eyes, and in the fog, it seemed that the smiling child was reaching out to her, calling her sweetly, "Sister...... Sister ......"
"Ah...... My grandson ......"
"Kid ......"
At one end of the table, two old men screamed in pain as if they were tearing their hearts and lungs, and the old woman rushed out desperately, a pair of calloused hands stretched straight out, as if they wanted to embrace the fireball in their arms.
"Smack......
The fire erupted, and the thatched roof fell down along with the beams.
Lin Qi felt a hand suddenly appear behind her, and pulled her back hard, and then her eyes went black, and the whole person fell backwards......
The coldness of the bones, as if there was a warm breath in front of her to guide her, Lin Qi desperately moved closer to him, until the whole person was wrapped in a warm breath, and her body was warm, and she gradually calmed down.
Lin Ji had a dream about the night when his father suddenly appeared five years ago with a scroll of manuscripts.
"Heaven has a destiny, people have a life, I didn't expect that I studied all my life, and in the end I was still controlled by fate to get to this point, but child, you have to remember that as a doctor, helping people to be safe is the ultimate goal, and the image of the true dragon's qi immortality, in the future, it will be handed over to you......"
Just like that night, Lin Qi grabbed his father's hand with all his might, crying and shouting, "Don't go...... Don't go...... Don't leave Ah Qi alone......"
In the sandalwood-smoked guest room, Xiao Chengyue looked at the woman who was pulling at his wrist extremely unhappily, and his brows furrowed unnaturally.
"Ahh He muttered, a little doubt in his eyes.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Kong Lingfeng came quickly from outside with a sword.
"Master, I found out, Hu Dayi, the head of the town, and his left and right vanguards have Zhang Luan and Bai Mu, and Hu Dayi's advisor Qin Yuetian disappeared for no reason three months ago."
"Do you know where to go?" Xiao Chengyue nodded indifferently, looked at the woman on the bed with beads of sweat on her forehead, gently put her hand back into the quilt, and turned to stand up.
"I don't know, but Hu Dayi is quite dissatisfied with this march, and it seems that he intends to attack back."
Kong Lingfeng saw him get up, and hurriedly reached out to help, but Xiao Chengyue didn't get up and straightened his waist, his abdomen hurt, and he sat back again.
"The master is injured now, and it is not appropriate to send troops to fight again, so it is better to recuperate for a while first, and leave Hu Dayi's side to his subordinates to deal with." Xiao Chengyue closed his eyes and took a deep breath, raised his hand and waved it at him.
"No, Hu Dayi is arrogant, relying on the sergeant under the command of the first emperor, he has always been used to doing things, we have seen the power of those people once, if you are not careful, I am afraid that Qichuan City will also be in danger."
"But just defending and not attacking, I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution......" Kong Lingfeng looked at him with some worry, he had been by his side for a long time, and his thoughts became more and more extensive.
"The attack must be attacked, but how to attack has to be carefully studied, you go down first, pay attention to that side, if there is any abnormal movement, come to report at any time."
Xiao Chengyue covered the wound on his abdomen, and it was not until Kong Lingfeng went out that he let go of his hand, and his palms were blood-red.
"No...... Don't ......" Behind him, Lin Qi sat up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists and tightly covering his jumping and undulating heart, his eyes were wet.
Today's Xiao Chengyue, taking off his military uniform, under the light, his sword eyebrows are dyed with ink, his eyes are blooming, and his delicate facial features have a bit of nobility among the royal children.
The peerless face, with a plain white cross-collared brocade robe, a jade belt girdle, a dust-free glance, as cold as a fairy, and the fierce and cold image of the night before is simply like two people.
Lin Qiding looked at him for a long time before he recognized him.
"Little ...... What about them? She asked tremblingly, reaching out and grabbing the man's sleeve, her eyes full of anticipation.
As soon as he saw the aggrieved expression on this woman's face in front of him, he instantly remembered that day in the imperial garden, she knelt on the ground and hugged her brother's thigh, begging him to marry her.
A wave of anger surged into his heart, Xiao Chengyue endured the pain, stood up straight with a wave of his sleeves, and said in a deep voice, "It's dead." ”
He's dead? She's a genius healer who watched her life-saver die in front of her?
In an instant, there was a "bang~" in my head, and it collapsed with a bang.
"Dead? You tell me they're dead? It's impossible to ......" Lin Ji shook his head tremblingly, and his hand was extremely unnaturally trying to grasp something.
Her eyes were hot, her eyes instantly burst into tears, and she wanted to cry several times but couldn't make a sound.
Xiao Chengyue's eyebrows moved, looking at her appearance inexplicably distressed, his anger gradually dissipated, he sat down beside her, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm still here." ”
She leaned over with all her might, curling up even harder.
"Why! Why don't you save them, they haven't waited for their son to return, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu She is still just a four-year-old child! ”
In the mist of tears, it seemed that the fresh lives still existed in front of her, but in just one day, they ended up in an open flame and ashes......
How can she be receptive.
"Destiny is determined, from the beginning of birth, some people are destined to live for decades, and some people are destined to leave at a certain time......"
He hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to use the temperature on his body to warm her heart, which was as cold as ice at the moment. For the death of the old couple and child, he is not guilty in his heart.
But everyone knows that the fire can't help him do whatever he wants, and it is a blessing to be able to save Lin Qi.
"Life?" Lin Qi suddenly broke free from his arms, and his peach blossom eyes were shining with a cold glow, "Why do you say that this is their fate, there are so many of you, you can't even save two old people and children, what kind of battle do you fight to protect what country!" ”
Xiao Chengyue looked at her quietly, and the shadow of the person in the trance peeled off from her.
They are like a person, with the same voice and appearance, but not like a person, and their different mental movements make him gradually have doubts.
A heart-rending scream.
Lin Qi gradually calmed down, the tears in his eyes did not stop, but the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile.
At this moment, Xiao Chengyue, who was dressed in white, was not a mighty general of the God of War in front of her, but a cowardly person who would not be saved when he saw death.
She looked up at him, "If I hadn't died like you, wouldn't all this have happened?" ”
So, is she blaming him?
Xiao Chengyue slowly stood up, rubbing his thumb and index finger back and forth, "If you want to think like this, this king has nothing to say, but your body is your own, and you still need to take care of it, you have a good rest, this king will go first." ”
As soon as he turned around, Lin Qi behind him threw an embroidered pillow like crazy, "Then why did you save me, why didn't you let me die with them, do you know how difficult a person's life is in this world, why do you want to leave me alone!" ”
This was the case in her previous life, and it is the same in this life, in fact, what she is afraid of is never that someone leaves, but the endless loneliness of those who are included in her heart after leaving.
Hearing this, Xiao Chengyue's eyes changed suddenly, and he leaned closer, but his face was as cold as ice, "Of course this king will not let you die, this king will let you live well, let you see with your own eyes, who will be in charge in the end, let you see whether your original decision is right or wrong!" Let you see the person you have always believed in, and in the end, he will protect you for half a point! ”
With that, he angrily turned around and walked away, and the door opened and closed, bringing in a burst of cold air.
Lin Qi didn't understand what he was talking about, and she didn't have the heart to listen to what he was saying, she only knew that Xiao Wu's family was dead, and she was the only one left in this world from now on!
She lay down quietly, and the tears gradually stopped.
