On the ruins burned by the fire, people were coming and going. Everyone was cleaning up the mess in front of them, and Tianyao and Yun Shu were also busy here.
It took two hours and with the help of everyone to clean up the ruins. After the fire, except for some things that were not easy to burn, nothing was left, even the high-ignition colored glaze.
and so on, all covered with thick black.
"Uncle Li, have you seen a necklace?"
Arriving at the place where the sundries were placed, Tianyao asked.
"Necklace?" The man standing guard looked at Tianyao and scratched his head, "I really didn't see it. Everything that has not been burned is here, but I didn't pick up anything similar to the necklace.
It must have been burned."
"Oh, that's it...Thank you, Uncle Li." With a little doubt on his brow, Tianyao didn't ask any more questions.
"What are you looking for that thing for?" At this time, Yun Shu's tired voice came from behind. Yun Shu heard his question just now.
"Didn't I give Xueer a necklace the day before yesterday? When I was a child, I was playful, so I tried to burn the necklace with fire, but no trace was left. I thought that under the fire this time,
It shouldn’t be burned.”
"It's understandable that small fires in the past wouldn't burn out, but with such a fire this time, it's probably hard to escape." Yun Shu sighed softly, came to Tianyao, and said.
"It's not impossible. I'm just asking casually. It would be good if I could get it back. If not, forget it. It's just a small matter." After scratching his head again, Tianyao looked at Yun Shu with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
I would like to say it again.
At this moment, a young boy ran over from a distance,
"Tianyao!"
Turning his head and looking towards the voice, this boy was the boy who asked Tianyao to see Yun Shu yesterday morning, the child of the village chief's family.
The reason why he came to see him yesterday was because Yun Shu was staying at the village chief's house, and he came to see him again today. Why?
"Why is it today?" Tianyao asked, looking at the young man's anxious look.
"The old village chief just came back and said he wanted to see you." The young man said with a solemn look in his eyes.
"Old village chief?! You said Grandpa Xue is back? Has his illness been cured and he no longer needs to stay in Chang'an for further treatment?" Hearing the young man's words, Tianyao was overjoyed. When he was still young,
, it’s a good thing that the old village chief takes care of me, otherwise my life would be really difficult by myself.
A hint of sadness flashed through his eyes. Looking at the cheerful Tianyao, the young man who sent the message said,
"Old village chief, I'm afraid I'm going to die."
"What?!" In the blink of an eye, the news turned from ecstasy to shock. For Tianyao, this news was like a bolt from the blue, shaking him there.
"The old village chief managed to come back with difficulty. It seems that it only lasted an hour or two." The old village chief said, "There was great sadness in his voice. The young man took a breath and continued,
"The old man said that he wants to tell you something before he dies. You should go there quickly."
As soon as he waved his hand and stopped talking nonsense to the young man, Tianyao ran straight towards the village chief's house.
These days, every day is filled with various things, none of which is good!
After running wildly, he rushed to the village chief's house in a short time. Many people gathered in the old village chief's house, and on the couch, a kind old man was lying quietly on the bed,
He kept saying something, and the people around him nodded. He was still conscious, but he could tell from his breath that this kind old man was almost exhausted.
"Grandpa Xue!"
He rushed into the house and came to the old man's bed, where Tianyao knelt on one knee.
"Oh, Yao'er is here, cough cough cough, we haven't seen you in two years, and you have grown so tall, not bad, not bad, cough cough cough." The coughing continued, and the kind old man looked at Tianyao with a smile on his face.
With a bit of a smile, he slowly turned his head and looked at the other people beside him,
"Yao'er and I have something to say. Just do what I just said and take good care of the village in the future so that it can be worthy of our ancestors."
The faces of the people in the house were full of sadness, but the meaning of the old village chief's words was already very clear. After everyone bowed, they all retreated outside the house.
"Grandpa Xue, you are in such good spirits now that nothing will happen to you." Looking at the waning old man, Tianyao didn't know whether he was trying to comfort the old man's heart or his own heart with his words.
"I know how my health is. Life and death are determined by destiny. I have lived for so many years, which can be regarded as God's favor. Life and death are not a big deal. Don't worry too much." Looking at Tianyao, the old village chief said.
said,
"The old man's time is running out. Today, today the old man returns to the village. Ahem, in addition to telling my descendants to be diligent, there is one more thing I want to say about you. Ahem, cough, cough. Tell you something.
listen."
Two tears streamed down Tianyao's face. The old village chief was pessimistic about life and death, but Tianyao was not pessimistic. Xueer was already extremely sad when she died in the flames. However, in order to save Yun Shu, she endured it.
In the past, who would have thought that in just one day, they would have to face the separation of life and death again. For a boy who is only twelve or thirteen years old, Thailand is really a bit heavy.
"About me, what about me?" Tianyao asked, steeling himself.
Tianyao has been growing up in the village since he was born. Tianyao really can't figure out what could happen, forcing the village chief to drag his seriously ill body back to this small village?
The old village chief, who was lying on the bed, slowly raised his withered hand at this time and moved towards Tianyao's neck.
"About you..." Before he finished speaking, his palm had already opened Tianyao's collar. There was nothing above his neck!
"Where's the moon soul? Ahem, where's the moon soul on your neck?" Before he finished speaking, the necklace that was supposed to be hanging on Tianyao's neck was no longer there at this time.
"Oh, you are talking about that necklace. You asked me to give it to Xue'er two days ago. Now, it must have been burned to ashes by the fire." Xue'er's death was vaguely mentioned again, and Tianyao's face showed a hint of trace.
Sadly.
"Burned to ashes?!" There was shock in his expression. To Tian Yao, it was just a necklace kept as a souvenir, but in the eyes of the old village chief, it seemed to be very important.
"Ahem, cough, cough, you, you still need it to help you awaken the Dragon Spear, why, why did it burn to ashes?!"
