Text Chapter 1 Burned
The firelight in the sky illuminated most of the entire Pingning County, as bright as day, but the night of near autumn was exceptionally hot and dry tonight.
After a while, noisy footsteps began to sound outside the Pingning County official mansion, and across the two-zhang high wall in the past, Fu Yunyan in the rockery could hear the human voice in a daze:
"Quick, the county master's house is on fire, save people."
"It's such a good day, why did you go out of the water."
“……”
In the midst of the crowd, she only felt that her head was getting more and more dizzy, and her eyes were full of sadness in the smoke that were smoked in the billowing smoke, her face was a little pale, and her expression was a little dull.
Two meters away from her, there was a fierce flame that burned like a bamboo.
This once peaceful and quiet mansion is about to disappear after this night.
The smoke around her was so thick that she choked her lungs and throat, but Fu Yunyan didn't want to make any moves, her eyes were full of fires that destroyed everything in front of her.
The mother is inside, the father is also inside, and the more than 20 domestic servants in the house are also inside, and she is the only one who was pushed from the secret door to the outer courtyard by her father, who was covered in blood, and she lived, but her father fell on the threshold of the inner and outer courtyards, and never got up again.
Thinking of everything that was like a nightmare tonight, Fu Yunyan's tears couldn't stop flowing.
Fu family, who did you offend?
She tried to raise her hand to wipe away her tears, but the pain from the wound that passed through her left shoulder made her tired even if she wanted to catch her breath.
Although she went out of the inner courtyard, she still didn't step out of the gate of the outer courtyard, and was stabbed through the shoulder by someone, maybe everything she experienced was too shocking, or it really hurt, she fainted, and now she is just woken up by the pain.
At this moment, a voice came from the flames, and the man's voice was low and cold, like the ice that would not melt on the distant northern mountain, revealing a trace of chill and the breath of the living, "Did you find it?" ”
"No," replied one of the voices respectfully, followed by the sound of the sword unsheathed, and then continued, "the study is the most burning, and I'm afraid there is nothing left." ”
Fu Yunyan pinched her heart, her hand trembled and covered her body, through the slightly light clothes, touched the booklet hidden in her clothes, and suddenly remembered her father's instructions to her just now.
"Yan'er, if you live, go to Changning City to find Yang Yunguang and Uncle Yang, and give him this account book."
This is what the whole government bought for more than 20 lives? Fu Yunyan bit her lower lip tightly, tears flowed silently, and her fingers clenched tightly along the edge of the booklet, as if she was about to crush it through her clothes.
It was this dead thing that she switched to.
Fu Yunyan was angry in her chest, full of sorrow, and a fishy sweetness surged up in her throat, and a wow, she spewed out, staining the grass under her body red.
The person who was going to leave outside suddenly paused, and the black dark striped clothes swept past the corner of the rockery, Fu Yunyan's heart sank, and a pair of eyes were full of hatred to look at the black shadow that stopped in the flames under the corridor.
The man looked sideways, heard a chuckle under the black scarf mask, and his voice was faint, "Yang Ning, let's go." ”
Without waiting for a reply, the man jumped onto the eaves and walked first, followed by another man who followed.
Watching the two leave, Fu Yunyan clenched the ten fingers in her sleeves into fists, and finally fainted from exhaustion.
When Fu Yunyan woke up again, she was taken in by a family in the county, and it was rumored that the Fu family was burned down overnight.
Under the cover of the rough curtains inside and outside, Fu Yunyan could hear the sigh of Sister-in-law Liu outside, "This county lord is a good official, why did he suffer such an unfortunate thing, God really doesn't open his eyes, and the good people are gone." ”
Fu Yunyan's fingers moved, and she weakly reached out to touch her chest, and felt the existence of the booklet, she was a little relieved.
"I think you better send people away, it's never a good thing that this Fu family is gone, if the enemy comes to the door one day, don't put our family in." Sister-in-law Liu's husband spoke.
Fu Yunyan pursed her lips, looking at the shadows refracted on the curtain with clear eyes, and the two slightly hunched bodies snuggled up to each other.
When Dad was transferred to Pingning County as a county official, the couple lost their only son and had nowhere to complain, so they wanted to commit suicide by jumping into a well outside the county.
Fu Yunyan's eyes were a little sloppy, and the days in front of her were simple and fulfilling when she came to Pingning County.
"But the Fu family is kind to us, we can't help but keep this only seedling for Master Fu." Sister-in-law Liu was a little anxious at the moment, and her voice was a little louder.
Fu Yunyan smiled, thinking of Sister-in-law Liu's husband's words, her smile froze, yes, if the news that she was alive was known by those people, I am afraid that she would not let her go.
Just when she was thinking deeply, the two couples outside were talking fiercely, Sister-in-law Liu was so angry that she lifted the curtain and came in, and when she looked up, she saw Fu Yunyan who was sitting on the bed and woke up. ”
Fu Yunyan looked at her, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"Don't bother, don't bother, don't see outside." Sister-in-law Liu was busy waving her hand, but she was stunned in her heart, and she didn't know how much Fu Yunyan listened to their words.
Thinking of what his father confessed before his death, Fu Yunyan said, "Uncle Liu is right, if I stay, it will inevitably bring disaster to you or the people of the county, I will stay for three days, and as soon as the three days are over, I will leave." ”
Hearing her words, Sister-in-law Liu was anxious at the moment, she was a little panicked with her hands, she raised her hand and slapped herself in the mouth a few times, and said, "Miss, your family is kind to us, no matter how much we do, we can't forget our roots, don't listen to your Uncle Liu's nonsense, it's okay, even if I raise you for a lifetime, Sister-in-law Liu doesn't mind." ”
Fu Yunyan looked at her with a faint smile, but still said, "My father had a trust before his death, I have to do it, and when the matter is over, I will come back, I will go, so as to avoid the limelight, there is nothing wrong." ”
Hearing her so insistent, Sister-in-law Liu stopped talking, sighed again for a long time, looked at her with pity, and said, "This god is really blind." ”
Her words made Fu Yunyan's eyes hot, and the water droplets in her eyes were swirling, but she didn't want to shed anything, her hands hidden under the futon were clenched into fists, and her sharp nails pierced into her palms, but the pain could not soothe the sadness in her heart.
The family revenge has not been avenged, and she does not cry.
Fu Yunyan looked up at the top of the bed and took a few deep breaths.
However, before it was three days, two days later, in the middle of the night, Fu Yunyan in her sleep heard the barking of dogs outside.
