The fire was raging, and through the high wall, you could see the fire rising to the sky, and the people who were roasting could hardly get close, and although the wall isolated the forbidden land, it could not isolate the fire.

When Shen Qingjiu arrived, she saw Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu standing on top of the high wall, looking at the fire behind the high wall, this wall was actually not high for her, and she jumped up and jumped on the high wall.

Behind the high wall are wild grass, in fact, it is easy to burn, but, over the years, there has been no peace, there has not been any fire incident, today, but under the blue sky and white sun, the wild grass fire, all the things, burned to the light, there is nothing left, only ashes, the wind blows, it disperses.

Shen Qingjiu turned her head to look at Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu, she wanted to say something, but she found that at this moment, she didn't know what to say in order to comfort the hearts of the two of them, it seemed that everything was wrong.

The firelight was reflected in Bai Ruyu's eyes, her eyes seemed to have turned red, and after a while, Bai Ruyu said: "It's okay to burn, the old man likes to be clean and tidy, such a piece of barren grass grows here, if he was still alive, he would have picked up a sickle and cut it, focusing on vegetables, getting a fish pond to raise fish or something, and now it's burned, and it's worry-free." ”

However, her eyes that were illuminated by the firelight clearly flashed with tears, and the fire did not seem to be burning the wild grass, but like burning in her heart, and I am afraid that there will be no way to extinguish it for a long time.

Shen Qingjiu opened his mouth softly and said, "Bai Ruyu, although it is burned here, the place is still there, and it will always exist." ”

Bai Ruyu glanced at her with a smile and said, "Yes, you're right, the place is still there, this place will not disappear, how can it disappear, it will stay here forever, but...... But people will disappear, stinky wood, why did the old man die, why did he die, and if he didn't say a word to me, I would die. ”

As she spoke, her tears fell down like beads with broken threads, and she turned around, buried her head in Shao Siyu's arms, and cried "woo".

Shao Siyu stood still, let her cry on her own, raised his hand and patted her back gently, and said: "People, they all die, Shen Bo is a human being, even if he lives a long time, it will only be a hundred years, he will return to dust, even if you don't fall into a deep sleep, he will die, probably, he doesn't want you to see him die, so, while he is still alive, let you fall asleep, so that you don't have to watch him die." ”

Bai Ruyu still cried non-stop, and said: "But, so I won't be able to see him for the last time, he died alone, I should be by his side, but I fell asleep, let him die alone, he will be lonely, when he walks on Huangquan Road, it is so dark, he will be afraid, the old man is so picky, he will light a candle at night, he is obviously afraid of the dark." ”

The more she cried, the more excited she became, the louder she cried, and the tears fell down, wetting Shao Siyu's clothes, but Shao Siyu didn't care, he gently hugged Bai Ruyu, and comforted her softly, Shen Qingjiu had never heard Shao Siyu speak like this.

In Shen Qingjiu's impression, Shao Siyu is cold, and when he speaks, he has no temperature, it seems that he has never had a change in mood, but today, now, she has discovered the unknown side of Shao Siyu, it turns out that Shao Siyu can also comfort others very gently, and can also speak very gently, very gently.

There is only wild grass behind the high wall, and nothing else, so this fire will not last long, because the wild grass will eventually burn out, and when the last wild grass is burned to ashes, the fire will also be extinguished.

The fire was extinguished, Bai Ruyu was also tired of crying, and the sky also darkened when the fire was extinguished, and it was logical that Bai Ruyu fell asleep when the sun set.

Shao Siyu carried Bai Ruyu back to the room, and Shen Qingjiu asked the others to get off work first, she waited here until there was no spark at all, then she turned around and walked back to the lobby of the Taiji Building, poured two glasses of wine on the counter, and then sat down, waiting for the guests tonight, because it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"So, how could a fire start for no reason, could it be that someone did it on purpose?"

Shen Qingjiu's mind was full of the fire in the afternoon, which was really a nameless fire.

Before she could figure it out, Zhou Nuo pushed open the door of Taiji Tower, came to her on time, and said, "Shen Qingjiu, I'm here, hey, you don't have a good face, are you sick?" ”

Shen Qingjiu frowned and looked over, remembering what Zhou Nuo said in the morning that he was going to live in Taiji Tower, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, maybe I didn't sleep last night." ”

While speaking, she pushed the two glasses of wine forward and said, "There are two glasses of wine in the hall, a glass of sake and a glass of turbid wine, and visitors are invited to taste the wine." ”

Zhou Nuo didn't go to get the cup, but said hesitantly: "Shen Qingjiu, I'm not an adult, the teacher said, minors, you are not allowed to drink." ”

It seems like so.

Shen Qingjiu stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said, "However, if you don't drink, you can't stay in Taiji Building, so you still drink the bar, just take a small sip, don't drink too much, there should be no problem, after drinking, tell me the taste of wine." ”

Zhou Nuo hesitated for a moment, and then, he picked up the glass of turbid wine, pinched his nose and drank it, when the sip of wine entered his mouth, Zhou Nuo's expression suddenly opened, and he said happily: "How is this wine sweet, like juice, huh...... Not only the taste of the juice, but also the aroma of glutinous rice, take a sip, the aftertaste is sweet, endless, and it is really delicious. ”

Shen Qingjiu also looked at him curiously and said, "First time." ”

Zhou Nuo didn't know why, and said, "What is the first time?" ”

Shen Qingjiu continued: "The first time someone drank a sip of turbid wine, telling me that wine is sweet, grandma said that there is only one kind of person who drinks turbid wine and will taste the sweetness of turbid wine. ”

Zhou Nuo chased after him and asked, "What kind of person is it?" ”

"Yes......"

Before Shen Qingjiu's words came out, he heard the sound of sudden braking, and the door of Taiji Tower was pushed open from the outside again, and a group of people came in hula, and the person at the head was Bai Jingjing, who left two days ago.

Seeing her walk in, Shen Qingjiu knew that something bad was going to happen, and whispered to Zhou Nuo: "You come to my side first, and I will send her away later, and then take you back to your room." ”

Zhou Nuo obediently bypassed the counter, stood next to Shen Qingjiu, and whispered to her: "Don't forget, give me Xiaole, I haven't seen him all day, I miss him so much, how is he, is he still stable?" ”

Xiaole was still in his room, and he didn't know if he was awake, so Shen Qingjiu had no way to answer Zhou Nuo's question.

Shen Qingjiu didn't have time to answer his words, she first poured another glass of turbid wine, and then, looking at Bai Jingjing and the others who came in with a smile, she said, "Welcome." ”

It was not Bai Jingjing who came forward to talk to Shen Qingjiu, but a man in a colorful dress with a pair of silver-rimmed eyes who followed Bai Jingjing, she noticed that the man was still holding an orchid finger, and when he walked, he shook his steps and said in a sharp voice: "There are six of us who want to stay in Taiji Building, Miss Bai wants to live in a separate room, and two more rooms, you can arrange it." ”

Shen Qingjiu pushed the wine in front of him forward and said, "A few people discuss who will live in the same room with whom, and then, just send a representative to come up and drink." ”

The man glanced at the wine on the cabinet with disdain, and said, "This inferior wine, if it hurts Miss Bai's throat, can you afford it?" ”

Inferior wine?

Shen Qingjiu tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "The rules of Taiji Building, drink alcohol before check-in, people who do not abide by the rules of Taiji Building are not allowed to stay in Taiji Building, if you don't want to drink, then, please go back." ”

Zhou Nuo, who was standing next to her, looked at her with some surprise when he heard Shen Qingjiu speak like this, it was the first time he heard Shen Qingjiu speak like this, the coldness and disgust in her tone were not concealed at all, for these people in front of her, she probably didn't want them to stay in Taiji Tower.

The man still wanted to speak, but Bai Jingjing, who was standing behind him, opened his mouth first and said, "Ah Huan, act according to her rules." ”

The person who was called Ah Huan immediately changed his face and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Miss Bai." ”

Then, he glanced at the two glasses of wine in front of him, reached out and pinched one of the sake, took a sip and drank a little bit of it, his two slender eyebrows were wrinkled and flying, and he said with a disgusted face: "What kind of wine is this, it's all sour, I want to call and complain to you, drink inferior fake wine to guests, and kill for money." ”

Shen Qingjiu took a deep breath and said, "First floor, big heat, please wait, the next one." ”

With that, she replaced a glass of sake and placed it on top of the counter.

The next one who came up was a girl, who looked like she was twenty-four or five years old, looking quiet and quiet, wearing a pair of thick glasses, and before drinking, she said: "I don't know how to drink, there are things that are wrong, please don't blame me." ”

Ah Le stood next to her and glanced at her, sneering: "Isn't it just a glass of shoddy wine, you are so careful, are you embarrassing to me?" ”

Shen Qingjiu really wanted to throw him out, but she couldn't do that, so she held back her anger and said softly to the girl who came up: "It's okay, according to the taste you tasted, and then tell me the real taste, it's okay." ”

The girl smiled slightly, and reached out to get the wine, however, before her hand touched the wine glass, there was a sudden chaotic sound outside, and a person stumbled in, and several people standing in the lobby quickly dodged to the side, and that person also fell to the front of the counter.

This person's face was covered with blood, one hand covered the other arm, and he glanced up at Shen Qingjiu, although his face was full of blood, but his eyes were very bright, revealing a fine light, after looking at Shen Qingjiu, his gaze fell on the two wines placed on the counter.

"Don't let him drink!"

A high voice outside the door reached everyone's ears, however, it was too late to stop drinking, the man had already grabbed a glass of turbid wine, raised his head and drank it, and said to Shen Qingjiu: "It's bitter." ”
