Chapter 53: The Fire That Can't Be Quenched
Quiet on the way home. Liang Xueyin was worried in her heart, so she turned back to look.
The light in the room on the second floor of the Diding Restaurant was still bright in the night, and a man could be vaguely seen standing in front of the window looking in the direction of the capital in frustration and sadness.
This man is a hero. led a group of brothers out of their own world, and trampled the arrogant bad guys on the soles of their feet. But things are no longer the case. He could have been otherwise.
I have adhered to my original intention for more than 20 years, and where can I put it down at this time.
Ke Yangui found that her eyes were moist again, so he stretched out his hand to block her vision, and slowly asked, "If he can hold out until you save him, are you willing to save him?" ”
"Of course. I don't want to chill the hearts of heroes who fight for my country. A hero should be a hero. She nodded firmly.
"Then you'll have to work hard from now on." He smiled lightly and said lightly.
She was puzzled.
"You are Liang Xueyin, that kind and stubborn Liang Xueyin. If you don't work hard now, it'll be too late later. He couldn't help but pat her head in remind.
"Oh-" she frowned, squeaked his hand away with a wave of her hand.
Ke Yangui sighed helplessly. If she hadn't worked hard now, maybe the big hero wouldn't have survived to that time. The emperor favors Murong alone, and Lei Yang is a thorn in the side of the Murong family. Five years, up to ten years. Zhao Guo is at war with Du Guo, so for the time being, Murong will not move Lei Yang, if Lei Yang is dead, who will come to kill the enemy. If this knife is not used well, then they will be in vain for so many years. When the overall situation has been decided, it is Lei Yang's death.
Duhua Township has also been quite restless in recent years, thanks to the general's blessing.
He opened the door and touched the food, which was already cold. Look at the day again, it was gloomy and cold.
"Mother, you sit down first, the food is cold after being delayed in the restaurant for too long, I'll go back to the pot and reheat it." Yan Gui dragged the stool out from under the table, wiped the surface of the stool with his sleeve and brought it to Ke Rong. Then he got up and went to make a fire. Liang Xueyin followed.
She first watched him find several pieces of wood and pile them together, and then took them out and was about to light the fire when a light rain began to fall. I had no choice but to suspend my work and hide in the house for a while in the rain. He also carried a pile of firewood in the house, so that the firewood would not be wet and would not ignite the fire at that time.
"Brother Yangui is so powerful, I can't even light a fire." She clinged to him, adoring in approval.
"Because you're a stupid pig, I'm not." He said it seriously.
Liang Xueyin smiled on her face, and her heart was angry.
"Everyone's living environment is different, so things will be different. Although Brother Yangui can cook on a fire, he has never learned how to do needlework. Ke Rong saw the sadness on her face, so he took her in his arms and coaxed her.
Although Ke Yangui heard the loopholes in Ke Rong's words, he didn't point it out, and was silent and let her persuade him. Someone should have persuaded her, or she would be angry with him.
After only half a cup of tea, the rain stopped. The time passed with small talk.
He did not bother to carry out all the firewood and take the flint. Liang Xueyin saw that he rubbed it several times before starting the fire, but the fire was extinguished on its own before it could burn on the firewood.
I couldn't hide a smile on my face, and I smiled secretly: This is all retribution.
Ke Yangui was not annoyed or annoyed, and went back to the house to change a flint. Liang Xueyin blocked their sight with his body and summoned his mana to make a hot dish.
When he came out, she had already heated up the dishes and brought them back, showing off to him proudly: "I'm amazing, right?" ”
Ke Yangui pretended to nod in agreement. Seeing that her fire was not extinguished, she brought a basin of water to extinguish the fire.
When a basin of water went down, the fire was intact and burned vigorously.
He had cooked so many times, and he had never encountered a fire that could not be extinguished with water.
Froze in place, looking back at her.
"How?" She had just finished putting the dishes away, and when she saw his appearance, she asked inexplicably.
Ke Yangui's frightened hand lost its strength, and the basin in his hand slid down.
She was attracted by the water basin, and when she saw that there were still some residual water droplets in the basin, she suddenly thought about the reason.
ran to him in a daze, smiled awkwardly and forcibly explained: "This, you must be dazzled." She turned her back and secretly touched the ball of fire with her hand, and it shrank into her hand.
When he noticed that the fire was gone, he was willing to let go of him and show him: "Look, it's gone, right? ”
Ke Yangui stayed where he was, nodding as if he was coping.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Is this mana? The power of the gods, it's amazing. How can ordinary people fight against the ground. She should already know her mission. There is no way, it has to be faced.
"Let's eat." Liang Xueyin tugged at his hand and pulled him away from here. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After this incident, she didn't sleep well all night, and she only slept for a while in the middle of the night and suddenly woke up. When I woke up, I looked at Ke Yangui next to him, he didn't sleep very well, and he frowned when he fell asleep.
The moonlight outside illuminated the lake beautifully, and it was the first time she had seen such a scene.
It is surrounded by forests and in front of you is a lake as quiet as a mirror. The light moonlight, the simple house, the ordinary days. How wonderful. It's like a dream.
After a while of the cold wind, sleepiness hits me and I go back to sleep.
I had a bad dream and dreamed that she was alone in Duhua Township. There is no one in Duhua Township anymore, it is empty, she is the only one in such a big place, no matter how she calls, no one will call. Qishan fell, and the waters of the Sunset River rushed towards her, and the monstrous waves tried to engulf her, and she was so afraid.
"Wake up." Ke Yangui shook her shoulders and called.
Liang Xueyin didn't wake up, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.
He looked a little distressed. So he carried her out of the house, and the cold wind of the early morning made his head ache. She couldn't help but tremble, and then he called, and finally woke up.
With teary eyes, she saw his face clearly, threw herself into his arms and wailed.
"It's okay." He patted her on the back to comfort.
When she was in a better mood, he ordered, "Go wash up, and we'll go to the town for breakfast." ”
She replied softly, "Yes." ”
After washing, she couldn't find Ke Rong left and right, so she asked, "Where is Aunt Ke?" ”
"She's gone to the restaurant, and she should be paid today, and she's been looking forward to this day for a long time." Ke Yangui replied calmly.
"Hmm."
After breakfast, the two went to the restaurant early to look for her, thinking that she should not have eaten breakfast yet, so they bought two steamed buns for her.
At the door, I heard a quarrel.
"I've done something wrong, but you shouldn't have to deduct a tael or two. I didn't teach me a few days before I came, and I admit that I did everything wrong, but then I didn't do it again, why did you deduct me so much, I didn't even have half of the four taels that I said at the beginning! Ke Rong's voice was loud, and his words were very angry.
The two of them leaned over, and it was the first time they had seen her so angry. Like a fried cat. Pointing at the boss, he trembled with anger and stared at him viciously. The boss was open-minded, and his face was relaxed, as if he hadn't heard her.
"At the beginning, it was said that it was four taels, but later you also signed the contract, and it was written in the dark text: If you make a mistake, the boss will decide at his discretion how much to deduct the monthly remuneration." The boss waved the piece of paper in his hand and said with a triumphant smile.
Ke Rong glared at him in humiliation, snatched the piece of paper and tore it up, and waved it in the sky, the shredded paper floated like snow. But in Liang Xueyin's opinion, it is more like her sparse and broken heart.
