After lunch, Lu Qingtian sneaked down the mountain while everyone was practicing in the ice room and no one was paying attention to him.

In this line, he left with his sword. Although there were several bumps, he still arrived at the foot of the mountain safely. He put away his sword neatly, hid beside a pile of straw that was empty, and packed the clothes and The veil was taken out and put on again and again.

Then he packed up the Lingshan school uniform and Wuwang sword and hid them in the haystack.

When he goes down the mountain this time, he must not be found to be investigating the case of the Lu family. He might be mistaken for seeking revenge. He only wants to know the truth and does not intend to help revenge. After all, he has no power or influence here. Wanting revenge is simply harder than climbing to the sky.

After noon, it was a bit stuffy, and some sweat soaked the veil, so he lifted it up to fan himself.

It's early, it should be later, you can't sneak into Yi's house in broad daylight, right?

He stood in front of Yi's house and asked the passing servants to call Yi Baili out.

The servant looked him up and down, and saw that he was dressed poorly, so he didn't intend to pay him any attention.

Mr. Lu was so hot that he stretched out his hand to lift the veil again, revealing a handsome young face.

Seeing that it was Lu Qingtian, the servant hid back to Yi's house, and wanted to report to Wang Shuzhen, but no one answered when he knocked on the door. Then he remembered that Wang Shuzhen took Yi Bai to the temple early in the morning. After meeting Lu Shunan and the others on the street Yi Bai seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and fell into a coma for many days. The most important thing was that he could sleepwalk, which scared Wang Shuzhen so much that he couldn't sleep well for several days and nights.

According to Wang Shuzhen's words: it's all caused by Lu Shunan, the disaster star.

Lu Qingtian kept his promise not to step into Yi's house in front of others, and squatted at the door for a long time before waiting for Yi Baili to come out.

The girl combed a tassel bun, with concentric belts hanging on her shoulders, with a pair of big watery eyes, and she looked very energetic: "Brother Shunan, you have come to see me!"

It was rare for Lu Qingtian to squeeze out a gentle smile, and gently put his hand on her head for a while, not touching it, for fear of messing up her combed hair: "Well, what do you want to eat? Brother I'll buy it for you."

"Candied haws! Hehe." Yi Baili happily held Lu Qingtian's wrist, shook her body and said coquettishly, "Brother Shunan, I'm so bored, take me to play."

Since it was still early, Lu Qingtian didn't refuse, and took her around.

Yi Baili is beautiful and has a bodhisattva heart. When she sees beggars on the road, she will run to donate money, and then buy some delicious food to take.

When seeing stray puppies and cats, they will stop to take a look, and then they will share some of the food in their hands with the small animals.

Perhaps it was also because Yi Baili was kind and her heart was extremely pure and clean, which made Lu Qingtian want to protect her for a living.

Or maybe it's because Lu Qingtian has always felt that he is also an unwanted vagrant, so when he sees Yi Baili doing good to others without asking for anything in return, he feels soft in his heart.

He ran around with Yi Baili without complaint, and felt that he was still a bit like an older brother.

Yi Baili: "Brother Shunan, are you having fun in Lingshan School?"

Lu Qingtian: "Well, I'll take you up the mountain to play when I'm free."

Yi Baili: "Okay, okay, Brother Shunan, how long will it take you to go back down the mountain this time?"

Lu Qingtian: "Leave at night."

Yi Baili: "Ah..." The tone was very disappointed: "Brother Shunan, can you take me away?"

Lu Shunan: "Huh?"

Yi Baili lowered her head and pursed her mouth into a line: "Baili likes brother Shunan. Since you left, I feel so boring every day."

Lu Shunan was taken aback, he knew that a girl's "liking" was not necessarily between a man and a woman, it might just be an expression of dependence, but when he heard it, his heart trembled, probably because he was attracted by this child.

Lu Qingtian: "But you still have to go to school. If you go up the mountain with me, how will you learn?"

Yi Baili: "I can take classes with you."

Lu Qingtian said in a coaxing tone: "Then I'll ask Master first to see if he accepts you."

Yi Baili nodded, instantly happy.

Lu Qingtian didn't quite understand why the child's mood fluctuated so much. One second he looked sad, but the next second he could laugh heartily.

Apart from himself, he is surrounded by rational people. He is only a little more aggressive when he is sick, and he is relatively stable at ordinary times.

His trip to the bottom of the mountain was at the right time, catching up with the lantern festival held by the folks of Fengfo Country. When the sky darkened, the streets were crowded with crowds, and the vendors were busy occupying a pit for themselves, and wandered around to join in the fun Shop around for some lanterns.

People sent by the yamen to patrol will take to the streets every once in a while.

Lu Qingtian accompanied Yi Baili to pick up lanterns, and he didn't think it was pretty when it was still bright, but when the innocence darkened, Lu Shunan was overwhelmed by the brilliant lights all over the street.

He has never seen the Lantern Festival with his own eyes, and most of the time he just likes to be alone in one place. When he was a child, he liked to be in the virtual game hall, but when he grows up, he just wants to stay in the research room and not go anywhere.

The liveliness of the world does not belong to him.

Surprisingly, he did not reject such excitement.

Looking up, he could see the sky lanterns dotted with stars, just like the starry sky he had seen countless times on the observatory, faintly visible, seemingly very close and yet far away.

The street is filled with all kinds of lights, and after a long time, there is an illusion of "the random flowers gradually become charming eyes".

Yi Baili picked out a Jade Rabbit lantern for herself, which is very cute.Then he picked a lotus lantern for Lu Qingtian.

For some reason, when Lu Qingtian held the lotus lantern in his hand, he thought of a person who exudes the temperament of "can be seen from a distance but not played with". He is a lively ice sculpture lotus.

Suddenly, I wanted to give this lamp to that person, but I didn't know how he would react.

Yi Baili: "Brother Shunan, what are you thinking of? Are you smiling so happily?"

Lu Qingtian was taken aback, did he laugh?

Piaoyuan's consciousness returned to his brain, and he realized that he really smiled unintentionally.

Just because I thought of Bai Wuqin...

Lu Qingtian: "Nothing? Where do you want to put this?"

Yi Baili nodded, and led him by the sleeve to the river bank.

When Lu Qingtian saw the river, he refused. He stood still in the distance, and Yi Baili couldn't drag him.

Thinking of the feeling of suffocation when he was inexplicably pushed into the water when he was a child, it suddenly flooded his heart like a flood. The fear he thought he had forgotten a long time ago, he saw the river full of colored lights... like golden colored glass flowing in the black The moment of the lake reappeared.

He didn't know how he dragged Yi Baili back. When he came back to his senses, Yi Baili was trying to break free. The corners of her eyes were rosy, and her wrists had already turned purple from his pinching.

Lu Qingtian hurriedly let go, and at that moment he showed a hint of helplessness: "Hold... sorry..."

Yi Baili rubbed her wrist with a crying voice: "I hate Brother Shunan the most!" After speaking, she ran away and was instantly swallowed up by the crowd.

Lu Qingtian clenched his fingers, he was not only afraid just now, he also fell ill...

When you are sick, you can't control it.

He was afraid of hurting Yi Baili again, so he didn't chase her.

Restless...

irritable...

He felt something was burning inside him, and he needed to vent.

No medicine!

He almost rushed into the tavern, gave out all the silver, and exchanged it for various wines.

He was very afraid that he would hurt others by getting sick, so he might as well get himself drunk, and the excitement mixed with anxiety might pass when he wakes up drunk.

But when he drank himself several bottles of wine, his nerves became more excited.

After finishing the last bottle, he was still not a little bit drunk, but it got worse, which made him even more uncomfortable.

He knocked over all the empty bottles to the ground, and there were a few crisp sounds when they fell on the ground, causing people in the store to look over one after another, with shock and curiosity in their eyes.

Lu Qingtian stood up, grabbed the hem of the nearest man, and said, "Look at the fart!" Then he waved his fists to beat him down, but he managed to hold back with all his might.

He didn't want to be swayed by mania, and he didn't want to hurt others, and finally the fist fell on himself.

The man was terribly frightened, trembling, unable to speak.

Lu Qingtian let go of him and rushed out, wanting to find a place where no one was around to vent.

But it happened to be the Lantern Festival again, he ran around and bumped into many people, but he still couldn't find a place where there were few people.

Unknowingly, he came to Yi's house, and it was dark inside, as if not everyone was there.

He entered through the main entrance, and the people passing by didn't pay much attention to him.

At this moment, Bai Wuqin's voice seemed to come from far away: Where are you?

Lu Qingtian didn't reply, probably he failed to go back before Haishi and was discovered by someone, and now Master is looking for him everywhere.

Yi Baili didn't come back, and when Lu Qingtian came in, no one was there.

Oh, except for Yi Dequan, the owner of the Yi family who was paralyzed on the bed and could not participate in the lantern festival.

Lu Qingtian was still holding the unfinished lotus lantern in his hand. The light was very weak and could only illuminate a small area, but he could still see the road clearly.

The alcohol turned up, choking him uncomfortably.

He went to Yi Dequan's room and kicked the door open, but the people inside didn't respond.

Yi Dequan was lying quietly on the bed, with a kind face and white temples.

Lu Qingtian walked to the bedside of the man, and when he looked down, he felt a pain in his head.

Immediately afterwards, a string of memories that did not belong to him flooded up.

It is the memory of Lu Shunan after he was fished out of the well.

The string of memories is full of Yi Dequan's kind smile, and the indulgence and love for him.

Undoubtedly, the 16-year-old boy liked the owner of the Yi family, the kind he liked his father.

Because in his memory, he himself smiled because of Yi Dequan.

But the boy's most painful memory also came from Yi Dequan.

Because not long after he entered Yi's house, Yi Dequan fell off his horse.

After that, his life was really like hell.

Lu Qingtian suddenly felt nauseated, he didn't know if it was because of drunkenness, or because of the memory of the young Lu Shunan.

Relying on the memory of the young Lu Shunan, he came to the table and opened the secret door.

When he went in and saw the things left by the Lu family and the Yi family's business partnership, Lu Qingtian felt sick for a while.

He propped himself against the wall and half-kneeled on the ground, his legs became weak at some point and he couldn't use his strength.

He came across a stack of account books, and he opened them to see the details of their business transactions back then.

The top book recorded the last business deal of the Lu family before they were wiped out.

Ammunition, cloth... Especially on the last page, there is a sentence to the effect that the arsenal was completely empty overnight and was plundered by the enemy.

And that arsenal is in charge of the Lu family, how did the key fall into the hands of the enemy?How could it all be plundered overnight without anyone knowing?

Back then, was it for this reason that the Lu family was sentenced to extermination? !

Lu Shunan looked through the remaining piles of materials, all of which were from that year.

Especially in one book, Yi Dequan bought a large number of grapes from the Western Regions. Lu Shunan saw this and couldn't move anymore.

Did Lu Shunan know that too?That's why the memory is half happy, half painful and suffering.

The person who treated him so well was probably the one who ruined his family!

Lu Qingtian didn't know whether he was resentful or in pain at the moment, he struggled to get up, but knocked over the lotus lamp, and the flame of the wick spread to the account book along the outline of the paper lotus.

He clenched his fists and stood still, the whole dark room was on fire.

Burn it!

Burn it all!

To be buried in the sea of ​​flames together with myself may be liberated!

When Lu Qingtian fell ill, he would always do some crazy things, but at this moment, he did the craziest thing. He wanted to burn himself to death, and bury the whole Yi family with him!

But at this moment, Bai Wuqin came over again via voice transmission: Are you in the Yi family? !answer!

Lu Qingtian suddenly became inexplicably flustered, he didn't want Bai Wuqin to see his current appearance, and he didn't want him to know his crazy thoughts when he was sick.

He suddenly came to his senses and wanted to put out the fire, but the fire couldn't be suppressed anymore.

Bai Wuqin: The Yi family is on fire!Where are you? !

Lu Qingtian panicked again, he couldn't put out the fire.

Bai Wuqin is coming soon!

He can't stay here!

Lu Qingtian staggered out of Yi Dequan's room, and after leaving the door of Yi's house, a group of people shouted: "There's a fire! Come and help put out the fire!"

Someone saw the veiled man coming out, pointed at him and shouted: "There is a man who has escaped! It is not from the Yi family! He must have started the fire!"

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they all rushed towards Lu Qingtian, and with hurried footsteps, they were getting closer.

Getting closer.

Lu Qingtian was running almost instinctively, he walked into an alley,

By luck, he walked around in the dark and narrow alley, and the footsteps behind him continued, still chasing him closely.

He was actually not afraid of being arrested, but he didn't want a disciple of the Yiling Mountain Sect to be arrested and let his pure and lofty master be scolded by others.

When he turned to another alley, there was the sound of officers and soldiers surrounding him again, followed by the sound of footsteps behind him.

At this moment, a force grabbed his waist and dragged him into a room.

He leaned against the man's shoulder and froze for a long time.

"Master?" When he turned his head, he couldn't see the expression on Bai Wuqin's face clearly, there was no one in the courtyard where they were.

The officers and soldiers surrounding the front and rear outside the door had already converged, but they did not see Lu Qingtian's figure, so they had to turn around and look elsewhere.

Bai Wuqin: "You set the fire?!"

This was the first time Lu Qingtian heard Bai Wuqin's undisguised angry tone.

He didn't say a word, and didn't want to explain, he just felt more upset and restless.

In the next second, he broke out again by himself.

Bai Wuqin did not follow.

He must be disappointed in him...

I originally thought that a child could be taught, but I didn't expect him to be a vicious stick, right?

Lu Qingtian plunged headlong into the deeper darkness, stumbling as he ran.

He thought he didn't care about anyone's opinion, but it turned out he was wrong.

He cared about Bai Wuqin's opinion and didn't want to disappoint him.

why?

He himself couldn't think of it for a while.

Jiu Jin came up again, he propped himself up against the wall and finally vomited until he was so dizzy.

He remembered that the last time he drank like this was to celebrate when he learned that he had inherited such a big business.

But this time, it was to keep myself from getting sick after getting drunk.

The pain was double, and his sanity was gradually fading away. He didn't know if he would do crazier things.

All he wanted to do now was run.

There's a pinch of light ahead
