Wooden houses.

The flames grew bigger and bigger, and they simply couldn't be extinguished.

Song Yuanshan heard the news and returned.

Many neighbors also came to help with pots and buckets.

However, to no avail.

Everyone could only watch as the houses in this small courtyard were all engulfed in flames.

They could only prevent the fire from spreading to other houses.

Yang Lan jumped to the side and scolded angrily: ", if you want to die, you will die elsewhere, how can you burn our house!" ”

"Shut up!"

Song Yuanshan roared angrily on the side, his face extremely ugly.

Luo Qingfeng still stood there, and since he came back, he has not moved, as if he had become a sculpture.

Yang Lan cried and shouted urgently for the neighbors to help put out the fire.

But at this time, the fire was raging, and no one dared to approach.

Song Yuanshan stood aside and sighed.

At this time, the catcher also came to the house, informed them that the little maid in the family had been killed, and told them that the case would be handled by the city government, so that they could not speak out for the time being.

The other party briefly inquired about the cause of the fire, and then left in a hurry.

Too many people have died in the town in the past few days, and many of them are said to have been killed by that terrible demon, and they follow the gang of people from the city to visit and explore, and they are so tired that they can't even sleep well, and they will care about this kind of idle matter of strangers committing suicide out of love.

"Boss, the girl who self-immolated the Song family seems to be the bride from Linshan Village. The villagers of Linshan Village were killed one after another, will this matter be strange? Do you want to report this? ”

"I'll see those demon slayers later, just talk to them. We also asked just now, and there are all the witnesses, and the girl committed suicide by setting fire to herself after she went back because she was abandoned by the scholar. Zhang Kui, you can write a report when you go back in a while and present it to them. ”

"Yes, sir."

Several catchers said as they walked briskly to the dead man's alley before.

The fire of the Song family lasted until noon, and then gradually extinguished.

The entire courtyard of the house has been burned to ashes.

The neighbors whispered and dispersed.

Song Yuanshan sighed and went to find someone to help deal with the ruins here.

After he left, Yang Lan immediately pointed at Luo Qingfeng and scolded sharply: "It's all you shameless boy, just forget about relying on our house, and bring another shameless one back!" If she wants to die, let her die elsewhere, why would she come to harm us! What kind of enmity does our Song family have with you, what kind of grudge? ”

The house was burned, people died, and people were seen as jokes, how could she not hate!

However, at this time, Luo Qingfeng changed his previous weakness and forbearance, looked at her with a cold face and said, "If you want to say shameless, can anyone compare to you?" If you pay back the money my grandmother left me, I will leave!" She burned down your house and deducted the money from it! ”

Yang Lan was stunned for a moment, as if she had never thought that this kid would actually fight back!

This is to heaven!

She suddenly shouted angrily, "Good boy! Eat us and live in ours, and waste money to hold a wedding banquet for you, and you didn't even collect the gift money, and now you have burned down our house, and you dare to ask me for money? ”

Luo Qingfeng looked at her coldly and said, "The money that grandma gave you is more than ten times what you lost!" Do you really think I don't know? Or do you think I don't have proof? ”

Yang Lan opened her mouth, and suddenly became dumb, her face was blue with anger, and at the same time she looked at him in disbelief.

"If you don't want to give, shut up."

Luo Qingfeng didn't pay attention to her anymore, his eyes looked at the small courtyard in front of him that had turned into ruins, and there was still a tingling pain in his heart.

Memories in my mind keep coming back.

Every time a paragraph came up, his heart would tingle.

Now he can be sure that he didn't just cross over some time ago, but when he was very young, when he was in Linshan Village, before he met her, he had already crossed over!

However, his memories, including those of him and her, did not emerge until now, until she was seen setting herself on fire.

What the hell is going on?

At this moment, his heart tingled, but his mind was more lucid than ever.

He suddenly walked towards the ruins.

The flames had been extinguished, but the remnants of the ashes still exuded a hot smell.

He stood in front of the ruins, looking at what had once been a small courtyard, a new house, a place where he had been reading and playing with Hei Xiu, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

At this time, Song Yuanshan called some people to clean up the ruins here.

A few people first fetched water from the well to extinguish the remaining sparks, and then began to clean up with tools.

"Qingfeng, stand farther away."

When Luo Qingfeng was thinking about things in front of the ruins, Song Yuanshan came over and comforted: "Since the matter has happened, don't think about it anymore." Whoever it's to blame, let it pass. ”

Luo Qingfeng was silent and did not speak.

When a man was holding a tool and was about to clean the location of the new house, he suddenly walked over and said, "Let me come." ”

The man saw that he was wearing a Confucian robe and looked polite, and when he was about to speak, Song Yuanshan sighed and said, "Give it to him." ”

"Yes, Song Yuanwai."

The man immediately handed the tool in his hand to the young man in front of him.

Luo Qingfeng took the tool and took another look at the new house that had been reduced to ruins, and couldn't help but think of the girl's smart eyes and cute appearance in his mind.

"Brother Ah Feng, you must marry Zhao'er tomorrow! Otherwise, Zhao'er will be angry! ”

It seemed that the girl's crisp and pleasant voice sounded in my ears again.

As for those nightmares, those terrible things, they all became blurry at this time.

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and began to sweep away the ashes on the ground.

The house had been burning for so long, and it was all wood, so the girl must have been reduced to ashes.

He was looking down to sweep when he suddenly noticed something red peeking out from under the ashes.

He immediately crouched down and picked it up.

It turned out to be the crimson jade pendant.

The jade pendant, which was originally broken in half, had been closed together at this time, leaving only a small gap in the middle, and the color looked more ruddy and bright.

What's going on? Obviously he has been broken in half?

"Cousin, Wan'er will help you sweep."

At this time, Song Wan'er walked over from behind in embarrassment.

She had just helped put out the fire, and she fell several times.

Luo Qingfeng put away the jade pendant, stood up and said, "No, I'll come by myself, you can go and rest." ”

He swept the ashes where the jade pendant was buried into the bag.

Then, he walked to the place where the flowers were, dug up Hei Xi's body, and put it in a bag.

Then he said to Song Yuanshan behind him: "Cousin, I want to take this bag of things to the town and bury it." ”

Song Yuanshan frowned slightly, sighed and said, "You can go if you want, after all, it's ...... Hey, my cousin will find a few people to dig a grave for you. ”

"No, I can do it myself."

Luo Qingfeng refused.

At this time, Song Wan'er on the side also said with red eyes: "Cousin, let Wan'er accompany you, Wan'er also wants to send Sister Zhao'er on her last journey." ”

Luo Qingfeng was silent for a while, and said, "You are also tired, rest at home, I want to go alone and be quiet for a while." ”

With that, he left with his things.

Song Yuanshan looked at his back, and sighed again: "It's obviously a very good young couple, but it turned out like this......

At this time, Yang Lan on the side came over with a pale face and complained: "Master, when you were not there just now, that kid was rude to me, and even scolded me!" ”

Song Yuanshan glanced at her and said, "Qingfeng can scold?" ”

Yang Lan hurriedly said: "That kid is scolding, if the master doesn't believe it, you ask Wan'er, ask those maids." ”

Song Wan'er lowered her head and did not speak.

Song Yuanshan waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, so many things have happened today, I'm anxious, don't come to make trouble, go to the shop and watch." ”

When Yang Lan was about to say something, he had already left quickly.

on the streets of the town.

Luo Qingfeng hired a carriage and rushed to Linshan Village with Su Zhao'er's ashes and Hei Xi's corpse.

He was going to bury them in that little mountain village, with his grandmother.

The carriage came out of town in a bump.

He looked at the jade pendant with the crack in his hand, and was quiet for a long time, Fang muttered: "Zhao'er, whether you are a demon ...... or not"

He fell silent again.

"If you are a demon, a powerful demon, how can it be so obvious for me to find out? All the nightmares, all the evidence, lead me to suspect that you are a demon...... The closer you get to the church, the more nightmares there will be...... The more you die......"

"Villagers, Hei Xiu, Zi'er...... It's all about me superimposing misunderstanding and fear, anger and hatred for you step by step......"

"You're so cute, how can you be a demon?"

"Even if you are a demon, you have never harmed me."

"I know you've wronged ......"

"Am I wrong...... I was wrong......"

In the sky, dark clouds suddenly obscured the sun, and the whole sky became gloomy.

The horseman who was driving the car hurriedly sped up and said, "Childe, it's going to rain, are you sure you have to go so far?" ”

Luo Qingfeng stroked the red jade in his hand and said, "Go." ”

"Okay, Childe is seated!"

The groom immediately swung his whip and slammed it on the horse's buttocks.

It was so far away that it was said that the whole village had been slaughtered, and if it were a normal day, he would definitely not have go.

But today, the prince gave him a piece of gold directly.

He's been driving the wagon for so many years, and he's never received any gold.

Meanwhile.

In a grove to the south of the town, the petite girl in a patched black dress began to stand under a large tree again, in a daze.

She stood there motionless until dark.

In the evening.

Luo Qingfeng finally came to Linshan Village.

The coachman dropped him down in front of the wooden bridge and hurried away.

Luo Qingfeng held the ashes and corpses of a person and a cat, walked across the wooden bridge, and walked towards the uninhabited village in front.

The sky was gray and there was a sudden light rain.

The village in front of them became more and more gray and gloomy, and there was a dead silence.

But at this moment, his heart was no longer afraid.
