Chapter 408: Pillar of Fire
I don't know how far away, but I can faintly see a light that reaches into the sky.
Although it was far away, it could be felt that the light that reached into the sky was emitting an incomparably huge amount of heat, and the blizzard obscured his vision, and Hachi determined the direction, and his lips moved slightly and muttered to himself.
"There is so much heat in this extremely cold place"
"That should be the place where people live" Xiao Hachi slowly fell down, the wind and snow at this moment were a little smaller than before, it should be that the so-called cold air had passed, he waved his hand to urge the Yin Yang Fish Plate to push away the surrounding snow layer, revealing the semicircular cover below.
"Let the Shadow Squire take him, go over there and have a look first," Hachi muttered to himself, urging the semi-circular cover to disintegrate, and at the same time wrapping around the boy's body, wrapping him, the Shadow Squire stood up and carried the boy on his back, and the boy's back basket was also hung by the Shadow Squire.
.........
The gray-white stone made a simple wall, the entrance and exit of the wall had long been broken, and the cold wind was surging inward along the gap, and the two figures passed through the gap one after the other to the inside of the wall.
The young man dressed in thin black looked up and looked around, and saw that some stone houses had been built sparsely inside the wall, all of which were dilapidated, some of them had broken corners, some of them had no roofs, and they were spread with a large number of weeds to serve as roofs, and most of these dilapidated houses were empty, as can be seen from the dilapidated doors.
It was a mess inside, dark black dirt everywhere, but fortunately, the snow was falling, and everything was covered in white.
"Is this here abandoned" Hachi looked at these and silently said in his heart, and at the same time he looked up and looked forward, only to see that in the air not far away, gray smoke was filled, and a pillar of fire through the sky was faintly visible, and now that he was closer, he could see it more clearly, this was a pillar of fire that went straight to the sky, and those gray smoke were all mist evaporated from the heat.
I don't know how much snow has been evaporated by this pillar of fire, and the closer you get to it, the more you can feel the terrible heat of this pillar of fire.
Smack.
A crisp sound came from not far away, Xiao Hachi's face was instantly vigilant, he looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that there was a sideways stone house, the appearance of this house was quite intact, but the surface stone wall was seriously worn, but the portal was also complete, the doors and windows were closed, and the most important point was that the snow around this house was obviously lighter than around other houses.
The sound just now was the sound of the snow piling up on the roof not being able to withstand the pressure and falling a piece on the snow.
There are people living in this house, Xiao Ba's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately came to the conclusion that there is no need to use the yin line to explore, he just used the yin and yang fish plate to urge the yin and yang line body to quietly wrap around his wrist, ready to use at any time.
Crunch, Hachi walked to the door of this stone house with the shadow attendant, and after thinking for a while, Hachi still took the initiative to raise his hand and knock on the door, the copper door was very thick, and the sound of knocking was very dull.
Xiao Hachi stood quietly at the door, waiting for a stick of incense, he was sure that there was someone in the house, but when he knocked on the door, there was no movement inside, and he had no choice but to raise his hand and knock on the door again.
This time there was obvious movement in the room, the sound of rustling, followed by the sound of things colliding, and then everything was calm, just when Hachi had a hint of giving up, suddenly there was a creak, and the heavy copper door was opened, a small crack in the door.
A girl's face about the same age as Hachi's face leaned out nervously, the girl's face was pale, and two shocking scars were revealed on her cheeks, it was hard to imagine what a girl of this age had suffered.
"Who are you?!" The girl was obviously stunned when she saw Xiaoba, she originally thought that the picture did not appear, but a young man dressed in thin black appeared, his face was resolute and delicate, and his black eyes looked calm and abnormal.
"I don't have any malicious intentions, I'm just new here, I don't know the situation here, is it convenient to let me in, I met a boy on the way, he is in a bad state, I hope to take a break from you" Xiao Hachi said slowly, he turned sideways, and let the shadow attendant behind him also come forward, so that the other party could understand.
The girl's face was panicked, her body couldn't stop trembling, she looked at the shadow attendant in a panic, and said tremblingly, "My lord, just a cold air has hit, I really haven't collected enough firewood, can you take a day of grace, just one day!" We'll be sure to collect enough firewood! ”
Xiao Hachi's face changed slightly, this girl seemed to have misunderstood herself, it may be that the shadow attendant is burly and tall, and her whole body is shrouded in black gas, which is really scary to look at.
"Don't be afraid, we're just outsiders, not from you here, you see I wear so little, where will I be here" Hachi stood in front of the shadow attendant, and took the initiative to pull up his clothes and show them to the girl.
The girl's eyes were frightened, she looked at Xiaoba's clothes in disbelief, her small mouth opened slightly, and she said with some hesitation, "How is it possible, aren't you afraid of the cold?" ”
"I'm afraid of the heat"
"That's... Then you wait a minute, I'll be fine soon" The girl finished shutting the door with a bang.
Hachi stood helplessly, he didn't know what to do, suddenly, the door creaked and opened again, the girl's face was a little red this time, she opened the door a little more, and opened her body sideways to let Hachi in.
Hachi smiled, bowed to her, and then led the shadow attendant into the room.
Inside the stone house, the furnishings are extremely simple, all the furniture is made of wood, unpolished and very rough, the chairs and beds are covered with plush cushions, and in the center of the house is a fire, above which is a square channel leading to the roof of the house for ventilation.
Although there is a fire here, it is just a pile of debris in the pitch black, and a layer of snow has fallen on it, it seems that there has not been a fire for a long time, the girl is tightly wrapped, and she looks a little helpless when standing next to Hachi.
Hachi sat down on his own, and then urged the shadow attendant to untie the yin and yang threads that wrapped the boy, and the boy was laid flat on the bed.
The girl looked at this scene, and suddenly her face changed drastically, and she ran to the bed in surprise, "Ananda!! The girl seemed to know the boy, and she lay on the edge of the bed with a sad face, feeling the boy's temperature and pulse with her hands.
Fortunately, the boy has been fed with spiritual grass by Xiaoba and kept warm with his aura, so he is just asleep at the moment, and he is in good shape, and after the girl felt the stability of the boy's state, she actually shed tears and sobbed quietly beside the bed.
As if remembering that there were still outsiders, the girl held back her tears.
