The fire was finally extinguished, but the houses on both sides were damaged. One of the houses was loose and collapsed on its own due to the strong mountain wind.
Everyone found the charred body of a woman that had not been burned in the kitchen. The women in charge were unwilling to touch it. They called Yu Ma and other servants outside and asked them to carry the charred body to the back hill to the east.
Throw it away.
After preparing everything all afternoon, the fire was completely burned, and everyone was filled with anger.
However, those people in the front yard were still in a hurry and had no choice but to light some fires in the yard and kill some chickens, ducks and a pig.
For a time, the backyard was very busy.
Xia Zhaoyi returned to the dark hut and found a corner to sit down again.
It was noisy outside, but it seemed increasingly quiet inside. She hugged her knees and looked a little blank.
The young man mentioned Panyun Road just now, so it can be basically confirmed that this is Chongyi Zhaoyun Mountain.
She had always known that thieves and bandits were rampant in the Chongyi area, but she never expected that people's lives would be taken so seriously.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky.
The star sequence in the Northeast is chaotic, the night sky is clear and clear, but it is as confusing as a fog, and the destiny is unknown.
A star appeared across the sky in the northwest star sequence. The surrounding area was dimmed, and the direction was unclear.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyes became confused again.
In fact, there is a very important question that she has never dared to mention to the two children, that is, is this evening the day of the 22nd year of Xuanyuan?
No, it was winter then, and it is summer now. It should be the 23rd year of Xuanyuan.
If so, what happened to the second brother? Did he successfully escape from Yunhu?
What is the situation like in Dingguo Palace today?
If not, when will it be now? Is it the past? Is it the future?
Who threw her into this body?
A coincidence of fate?
Deliberately doing this?
And more importantly, who will she be?
Xia Zhaoyi closed her eyes and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
It's hot outside.
Chickens, ducks, pigs and fish are all killed immediately, and a lot of processing is done to make the raw meat have no fishy smell.
The rice also had to be re-steamed, and even the dishes and chopsticks had to be devised separately.
And those thieves in the front yard who didn't know what was going on and kept sending people to urge them would only make these women's strings tighten even more.
After the last few dishes were ordered, several of the maids in charge of the kitchen collapsed from exhaustion. Aunt Fang asked others to clear the dishes. She couldn't eat anything herself, so she went back to the house to rest.
Liu Sanniang was giving instructions to boil water the whole time, and then asked Yu Ma and others to pick it up in the front yard. During her free time, she also secretly took two freshly steamed steamed buns to satisfy her hunger.
Fortunately, because of what happened today, all the thieves and bandits were in low spirits. They usually like to drink and make noise all night long. Today, they were waiting for dinner until they were about to feel sleepy. No one had any thoughts, so they left early.
But when everything calmed down, it was still past Yin Shi.
"I know everyone has worked hard too," Aunt Feng held a spoon, and the maid next to her held a big pot. Aunt Feng poured half a spoonful of gruel into the bowls of the girls sitting in three rows, and said as she walked,
"But there is nothing we can do now. As you can see, our kitchen was burned down and all the rice and noodles are gone. These were taken from the cellar. It would be good if you can get half a bowl."
The girls did not speak. They held the bowls and did not dare to say a word.
Aunt Feng finished serving the porridge, put the spoon into the pot, and said, "Eat it. Remember to pack your things after you finish. Go back and have a rest after cleaning up."
"Thank you Aunt Feng for the porridge." A girl whispered.
The other girls reacted and thanked them one after another.
Aunt Feng enjoyed this feeling very much. She glanced at them and said, "That's good. It's better than being hungry. You should work more diligently, you know."
"Yes, Aunt Feng." Several girls shouted in unison.
Aunt Feng was so satisfied that she turned around and saw Liu Sanniang eating steamed buns and looking at them.
Aunt Feng's eyes turned cold, she glanced at her, turned around and left.
"cut."
Liu Sanniang sneered. She didn't like her in the first place, but now she felt even more angry.
She turned to look at the inconspicuous little wooden house in the northwest corner, stuffed the last bite of steamed bun into her mouth, wiped it, picked up the washing machine not far away and walked towards the wooden house.
The wooden door creaked open. Xia Zhaoyi closed his eyes, dismissed the confusion and insignificance he had just felt, and turned to look in the direction of the door.
Liu Sanniang walked in aggressively, but before she could speak, she heard a sweet child's voice in the darkness: "You're here."
Liu Sanniang's head was filled with rage. She was about to swing the bat and give her a severe beating to vent her anger, but these three words stopped her in her tracks.
It's too plain and too peaceful. Shouldn't it be trembling a little or shouting "Liu Sanniang" with a flattering meaning?
The wooden door behind her was closed by Liu Sanniang herself. There was almost no light inside the wooden house, except for the window over there. Under the slanting moonlight, a small figure could be seen getting up.
"I just borrowed the firelight outside and saw that your steps were sloppy, your face was pale, your eyes were cloudy, and your hall was gray," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Liu Sanniang, if I say you won't survive seven days, would you believe it?"
Liu Sanniang blinked her eyes. She didn't know why. She looked back, then looked back at the figure, and called out: "Ali?"
"Ah Li?"
Liu Sanniang frowned, looking strange. She clenched the laundry hammer with both hands and walked over in small steps: "What are you talking about?"
"guess who I am?"
"Be more honest!" Liu Sanniang swung the stick away fiercely.
Just as it was about to fall on the girl, a figure flashed in front of her, and then the voice appeared behind her: "I'm here."
Liu Sanniang turned around in shock, stepped back in fright, then raised the laundry hammer and beat it at her: "Who are you?"
"Are you afraid?" Xia Zhaoyi's voice sounded from the window, and she said with a smile, "Liu Sanniang, it's easy to kill a girl like me. You can do it at any time, but why do you want to let a girl do it in front of everyone?
The man in the front yard decides whether I live or die."
Liu Sanniang gritted her teeth. The darkness was already depressing, but the girl's clear and beautiful voice felt ethereal and ethereal at the moment.
"You are so eager to show off, do you want others to see that you have a good relationship with those people in the front yard? Liu Sanniang, who have you had trouble with recently? Aunt Feng? Aunt Fang?" Xia Zhaoyi continued.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Sanniang shouted with a guilty conscience.
"Why go around telling people to send me to Lu Tanlang for disposal? Is your focus more on me or Lu Tanlang?"
Liu Sanniang stared closely at Xia Zhaoyi. Huo Li raised his hand and swung the stick again, but was dodged again.
"I'm here."
The voice appeared behind him again.
Liu Sanniang turned around, and under the moonlight outside the window, the girl's eyes were bright, looking straight at her.
Liu Sanniang's back trembled, and she stepped back, her hand holding the stick hanging down.
"You are so stupid. You don't choose the right time to speak. Just a moment ago, they said that troops will be stationed in Panyundao in a few days. You are busy trying to push me to death to show off your power. You know what they lack now
What is it? It’s because there are not enough manpower and the speed of the work is insufficient. Once the troops are stationed in Panyun Road and there are troops to protect the refugees, where will they kidnap innocent people to work and let them do their bidding? "
Liu Sanniang gasped: "Don't tell me that! Who are you?"
"I said, you don't recognize me now?" Xia Zhaoyi took a step forward and said with a smile, "How did I die just now? You can't remember it so quickly."
Liu Sanniang opened her eyes wide, and her body trembled as if struck by lightning: "You, you..."
Xia Zhaoyi swayed and moved behind Liu Sanniang, saying, "I'm here, where are you looking at?"
"ah!!!"
Liu Sanniang screamed and turned back.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and touched his lower abdomen, smiled, and said softly: "Oh, there is no more blood and flesh, and there is no pain anymore."
"Ah! Ah!!!"
Liu Sanniang was completely frightened, turned around and ran outside: "Someone is coming, someone is coming! It's haunted! It's a ghost!!"
Xia Zhao's clothes were dripping with sweat, and when Liu Sanniang left, she couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed on the ground.
When her mother was pregnant with her, she caught several strong winds and colds, so she was born with weak bones. She never recovered from serious illnesses and suffered from minor ailments. When she was two years old, she had a high fever and almost died.
Later, her father carried her to a famous mountain and handed her over to her master, where she stayed for fourteen years.
In the past fourteen years, except for the holidays when she could go home, Master would occasionally take her out on his travels. The rest of the time, she mostly avoided the world.
And because her body was naturally weak, she couldn't learn any boxing or kicking skills. The only thing her master could teach her was this one trick to pretend to be drunk and happy.
The master said that it was not easy to earn a living in this line of work. Occasionally performing a dance or praying for help could scare people, but filling her stomach was the most important thing, so she was carried on a plum blossom pile since she was a child.
Right now, her calves and feet are in terrible pain. Firstly, this body is already in bad condition, and secondly, this body has no accumulated practice. She only relies on her temporary force. It is estimated that her ankles will be swollen into steamed buns tomorrow.
