After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Bai Yimeng's fourth brother took her to the garden to set off fireworks.

Mrs. Bai was afraid that her son and daughter would catch a cold in the cold wind, so she asked her grandmother to take a thick cloak to protect her son and daughter from the cold, and personally checked that they were covered to ensure that they would not freeze and catch a cold before letting them out.

Bai Yimeng and the fourth brother are close in age, and they have the most playfulness, and the two have a lot of fun in the snow.

Bai Yimeng's cloak is the same color as the clothes she is wearing today, all red, in such a night, candlelight, fireworks, and snow, Bai Yimeng looks like an elf.

When Mrs. Bai came out to set off fireworks, Mrs. Bai also took the rest of her children to the garden, and the third sister also followed Bai Yimeng to play with fireworks.

After a while, the eldest brother and the second brother also took their wives or children to play.

"Madam, look at the little five, let's take the children to play together!" The eldest brother raised his chin and pointed at Bai Yimeng, looking at his wife gently.

"Husband, take your son to play! I came to see my daughter. ”

"You see that your daughter is also happy, dancing, let's go! Take her to play. ”

"My daughter is too young to stand still! It's not fun to go, you take your son to play, and I'm holding my daughter here to watch you the same. ”

"Madame......"

"Go, go, go! Go for it! You see, the son can't wait. ”

In the end, the eldest brother couldn't resist it, so he took his son to play together.

The eldest brother also paid attention to his wife while playing, and the sister-in-law also took her daughter to look at her husband and son, and talked to her daughter at the same time.

Madame Bai and her husband sat in the pavilion in the garden and watched the children playing, their faces full of love.

"Xiao Ai, give me the child! I'll take it, and you can go and have fun too! Mrs. Bai saw her eldest daughter-in-law standing next to her with the child in her arms, and walked over.

"Mother."

When the sister-in-law heard Mrs. Bai's voice, she turned around and smiled lightly, and handed the child to Mrs. Bai.

"Go play! It's a year to celebrate the New Year, it's rare that everyone is so happy, they can play unbridledly, and I will take care of the children. Mrs. Bai took the child gently and said softly to her sister-in-law.

"It's okay, mother, I'm happy to watch them play like this, I can accompany my daughter, and I can talk to my mother."

"You! You have to take two children, and you have to help me deal with the affairs of the house on weekdays, and you have worked hard, so it's rare to have such a time, so you have a good time. Mrs. Bai looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with some distress and some relief.

The sister-in-law just pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't go to play, so she stood beside Mrs. Bai and talked and laughed with Mrs. Bai.

Madame Bai saw that they had been playing in the garden for a long time, and she was afraid of being frozen, so she beckoned them all to go back to the warm pavilion.

The pavilion was surrounded by thick curtains, charcoal was burned in it, and it was warm, and a lot of food and fruit were prepared.

Bai Yimeng and the others heard their mother's call, and came to the warm pavilion with a smile on their faces, and the grandmothers who were guarding next to them saw that Miss Gongzi was back, and as soon as they raised their hands, they lifted the curtain on one side to facilitate the ladies to enter.

As soon as a few people entered, the heat rushed in, and their bodies were hot, so they took off their cloaks, and the maidservant girl on one side reached out to take it.

Bai Yimeng sighed, rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and walked towards the charcoal fire.

The grandmothers on the side poured hot tea and handed it to a few sons, young ladies and young ladies.

Mrs. Bai looked at her daughters' cold red hands and said distressedly: "Hurry up and roast the fire, drink a cup of hot tea to get rid of the cold, don't catch a cold." ”

"Mother, we're fine, why are we so easy to catch a cold?" Bai Yimeng held a cup of hot tea, looked at her mother's distressed look, and smiled playfully.

"I said it was okay, my hands were frozen red."

"Mother, we're really fine, look at us, we have rough skin and thick meat, where can we let such a little wind and cold give us a cold? Right! Fifth sister? The fourth brother said playfully and raised his eyebrows at Bai Yimeng.

Bai Yimeng made a grimace at him, smiled and didn't speak.

Bai Lilan listened to her youngest son's words and echoed: "That's right, madam, these stinky boys have rough skin and thick flesh, how can they be so weak and can't help it, don't worry about it." ”

"Yes, father." When the fourth brother heard that his father also agreed with him, he couldn't help but become proud.

Mrs. Bai glanced at her husband, and then Bai Lilan's words changed: "You stinky boys are not in the way, but your sisters and sisters-in-law, as well as your sisters-in-law, are all delicate and expensive, so you can't freeze to death." ”

The fourth brother was dumbfounded.

Bai Yimeng and several brothers, sisters, and sisters-in-law couldn't help but smile when they saw the fourth brother being deflated.

Everyone sat around and talked happily, played games, and celebrated the New Year together, and had a good time.

Bai Yimeng was immersed in his own memories, his right hand unconsciously gently stroked the bracelet on his left wrist, thinking of his brother, remembering the happy times before, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, this is the first time he has laughed in these months.

A cold wind blew, and she came back to her senses, and looked down at the bracelet on her left wrist, silver inlaid with red gems, and a small jade rabbit pendant, which her brother gave her on her twelfth birthday, and which her brother spent a month making by himself.

The happier the memory, the more lonely, lonely, and desolate it is now.

Time flies quickly, after the New Year, the Lantern Festival, after the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere of the New Year is not so strong, and everything returns to the plain.

"It's out of the water, come on, put out the fire!" The panicked shouts of the people resounded in the early hours of the morning in the Golden Garden.

"It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

"Come on, put out the fire!"

The flames were blazing, and the shouts woke up the sleeping people, as well as the guards outside the park.

The fire was very big, and the people who were awakened took pots and buckets, and poured buckets of cold water one after another, but they did not make the fire smaller, and it burned more and more, and it was ignited first from inside the house.

"The white girl is still inside, and she hasn't come out yet." A handmaid suddenly shouted.

"What do you say? How could the White Girl still be inside? Another voice rang out.

"The white girl is asleep, and she hasn't woken up yet!"

"Didn't anyone wake her up?"

"There shouldn't be anyone, the white girl has always disliked others staying in her house."

"Isn't there anyone else in there? So how did this fire ignite? ”

"I don't know, it was already on fire when I found it."

"It's so noisy outside, the white girl should wake up too!"

"This fire is so big that even if you wake up, you may not be able to come out."

"So what now! The fire is so big, the white girl doesn't know if it can come out? A servant girl said with a anxious and crying voice.

"No matter, let's put out the fire first!"

"Put out the fire first."

And Bai Yimeng, who was sleeping in the house, was finally awakened by the noise.

When I woke up, I felt dizzy and stunned, and I didn't react to what was going on, I only felt the scorching temperature.

When he saw the fire, he woke up and reacted, but he didn't panic, but picked up the clothes next to him and put them on, took the dagger under the pillow, wet the handkerchief with the tea on the table and covered his mouth and nose, and then ran to the door.

But she was only halfway through the run, and there were burned beams, wooden boards, and rubble that kept falling, and they were about to hit her, Bai Yimeng lifted her feet, turned around, and kicked away the fallen beams and wooden boards, but the falling beams and wooden planks blocked the front, and when she saw that she couldn't go out from the door, she immediately turned around and walked to the window, kicked open the burning window wooden frame, and neatly turned over and went out from the window.

It wasn't until she left the range of the fire and the noisy crowd that she sat down weakly against a tree, panting heavily, shaking her head gently, her head was still dizzy, if it weren't for the perseverance and survival instinct, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to get out.

It stands to reason that with Bai Yimeng's martial arts and vigilance, she should have been able to detect the fire very early, and since her family was copied and fled, she has never slept deeply, and she has always been very alert, but tonight she didn't sleep very deeply for some reason, so she didn't find out in the first time, and came out in time, so that she was almost trapped in the sea of fire and even almost died.

Bai Yimeng sat under the tree, calmly looking at the house that was gradually engulfed by fire and the noisy people, his eyes were cold, and his hands were clenched.

After sitting under the tree for a long time and feeling that his head was not so dizzy, he began to get up and avoid the flow of people and walked outside the Golden Garden, and no one noticed him along the way.

"White girl, where are you going this big night?"

As soon as he reached the gate, he was stopped by the guards guarding the door.

Bai Yimeng looked indifferent, didn't look at them, and walked straight out.

"White girl, please stay, or don't blame us for being polite."

The leading guard looked at Bai Yimeng's face cold, and without replying, he walked out directly, and had to draw his knife in the hope of stopping her.

It's just that Bai Yimeng didn't pay attention to them at all, and was not afraid of them, raised her hand to injure the guard, snatched the knife from the guard's hand, and rushed out of the garden, rushing while fighting, and quickly rushed out of the gate and out of their encirclement, and soon someone stopped her.

The martial arts of those people are higher than the martial arts of the guards at the door, the two sides are entangled, the other party can't take Bai Yimeng for a while, and Bai Yimeng can't get rid of it, although their martial arts are not as good as Bai Yimeng, but there are many people, and there are still layers of breakthroughs.

When she broke through to the last layer, there were few people who could continue to fight with her, and Bai Yimeng could get out with this knife.

while

After the sound of swords clashing, someone stopped the knife she had chopped, and Bai Yimeng raised her eyes to see that it was Fuyun, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
