where to go home

?The leader stood in front of Qin Yunlan. She could only stand there without daring to move. After all, she was just a little girl. When she had seen such a scene, she had already froze in place, and her eyes had revealed her fear.After a stalemate for a while, a man in black approached the leader and asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you want to silence me?"

Although the man in black deliberately lowered his voice, because of the proximity, Yunlan still heard the question.After listening to the content clearly, Yun Lan only felt dizzy, her legs softened and she knelt down on the ground. With a "bang", the leader looked at her seriously.Originally, I wanted to silence my subordinates, but when I saw the little girl was so frightened, I changed my mind and replied: "You guys go to deal with the corpse first, and leave it to me."

"Corpse...corpse..." Ignoring the man in black's lead and leaving, Yunlan murmured the most terrifying word she heard just now, with a bit of confusion in her tone, but more of fear.

"Are you familiar with this family?" The leader slowly walked around behind Yunlan, squatted down, and pressed her shoulders that trembled slightly from fear, "They are all dead. So they are corpses."

"You!" Yunlan just wanted to turn her head to question him, but her mouth was tightly covered by the left hand of the man behind her. She struggled to stand up and escape from this place, but was firmly held by the man's other hand. Press in place.

"Hush..." He looked into Yunlan's eyes, approached her ear, and said in a low voice, "We killed these people. Look..." He turned Yunlan's face hard A house that is already on fire.

"Isn't it beautiful? The flames in the night sky are the most beautiful. You should be happy, because the person you like has given his life for this beautiful scenery." The voice of the leader is deep and magnetic, if it is in a picturesque In a place like this, no girl would refuse such a voice speaking lingering words of love to herself.

It's a pity that what Yunlan is facing now is not a beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, but a sea of ​​flames. In the sea of ​​flames are her favorite playmates, her dearest uncles and aunts.She wanted to call for help, but covering her hand made her unable to scream no matter how hard she tried.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. It's best to have someone to enjoy the beautiful scenery together." The leader still pressed Yun Lan, who had struggled to collapse, to the place facing the fire.At this time, Qin Yunlan suddenly regretted that he didn't learn martial arts. If he was like his brother or sister Yang at this time, maybe he could... Thinking of this, her tears flowed down like a spring, as if with the change of the fire, she Tears grew more and more—but no more sound came out.

After a while, a man in black ran to the leader and reported in a low voice, "Boss, there seems to be a torch flickering down the mountain, and someone should be rushing over."

"Quickly evacuate." The leader replied, and said softly to Qin Yunlan, "Just keep watching here and turn it into ashes." His tone was relaxed, as if he wasn't the one who just murdered and set fire.Touching Yunlan's acupuncture points made her freeze, and disappeared into the night with the others in a blink of an eye.Just like when they came, without warning.

Yun Lan couldn't move at this time, she could only look at the growing flames in front of her eyes, powerless.The scroll tightly clutched in her hand was exactly the "Hundred Shou Characters" that she had written after two months of practice. It was a congratulatory gift that she wanted to give to Zheng Feng, but now, he has no chance to see it again... …

On the way back to Tiance in Luoyang, Yunze rode Lieshan with a burden on his back, happily making friends with Yang Xiao, "Senior sister, you can ask Master for me in a while to see if he is willing? Master loves you the most, I I'm afraid that if the master doesn't agree with me, I'll give me another Thunderbolt Gun..."

"Okay, okay, you're thinking too much. If Master doesn't like it, how could he let you go to Shu'er every day? Don't worry, I'll go back and ask for you. And what are you in a hurry for? Just think about it when you are young. About marrying a wife," Yang Xiao said helplessly.

"Hey, let's go quickly, Yunlan may be waiting for us at the master's house." Yunze patted the horse's neck and said with a smile, "Lie Shan, you are actually a cow, right?"

Lie Shan became impatient when he heard this, shook his head, his mane exploded and started to run.Yang Xiao looked at the sky, the moon was covered by dark clouds, but he could vaguely distinguish its outline, "It seems to be a little late indeed, it's already Xushi." Looking at Yunze who had run away in a blink of an eye, Yang Xiao hurriedly rode his horse to follow.

The moon is rising higher and higher. Today is the fifteenth day. When the moon is the largest, roundest and brightest, it is a cloudy day. The sky is covered by layers of dark clouds. The stars have long since disappeared. Only the fifteenth full moon can Some faint light was faintly revealed.Accompanied by the little moonlight, Yang Xiao and Qin Yunze returned to Tiance Mansion.As soon as he arrived at the gate, he found that the guard Zhang Zhicheng kept looking in the direction of the compound where the general lived. Yang Xiao felt strange, so he jumped off his horse, came to the guard and clasped his fists, "Brother Zhang, where are you looking?"

"Hey, Miss Yang, you guys just came back?" Zhang Zhicheng asked quickly in return.

"Yeah, my senior sister and I just came back from Luoyang City. Brother Zhang, what were you looking at so nervously just now?" Seeing Zhang Zhicheng's anxious expression, Qin Yunze got off his horse and came in front of him.

"Hey, you guys don't know. Just now I heard from Xiaobing that there was a house on fire over the camp where we lived. I don't know which house it is! I don't know who it is. I can't leave before the shift change time. Help Can't help at all! Alas!" Zhang Zhicheng said with some annoyance.

Yang Xiao heard this, and looked into the distance with all his strength. Although it was dark, he could still see a thick gray smoke floating up into the sky in the distance, "This direction...couldn't be... Yunze! Get on the horse !" Yang Xiao's tone suddenly became anxious and anxious, Yunze got on his horse and followed Yang Xiao without even asking.He had never heard his senior sister speak to him in such a tone, and he knew that the senior sister must have discovered something!And the more I ran, the more I felt that this road... seemed to be...

"This... Master!!——"

Yang Xiao frowned and said nothing. For the first time in his life, he felt powerless. Even when her father died in battle, she still felt that his father died for the country. She never felt as powerless and annoyed as she is now.As she walked forward, her heart sank. If it was a guess at the beginning, then running this road home that she had walked for eight years was the process of confirming the guess turned into reality.At this moment, he only hated why his horse couldn't run faster!The relatives who have been together for eight years... She can't wait any longer!

"Senior Sister!" Yun Ze called out to Senior Sister while grabbing the rein, and then hurriedly grabbed Yang Xiao's horse that almost slipped.He also panicked just now, and when he raised his head again, he saw Yang Xiao's feet exerted strength, he suddenly propped up his body with his hands, kicked off the saddle with his left foot, opened his arms, and flew out with lightness kung fu.Yunze's internal strength is still insufficient, so he can only run to Zheng Feng's house with two horses.

Yang Xiao ran all the way, after a few ups and downs on the house, he landed on the roof closest to the fire - what caught his eyes was exactly where he had lived for the past eight years.At this time, the Zheng family had been engulfed by the sea of ​​flames, and the original outline could not be seen for a long time. Many Tiance soldiers poured water on the house with buckets, but it was a drop in the bucket after all.Seeing all this, the last rational string in Yang Xiao's mind was broken, he jumped off the roof desperately, trying to rush into the burning house.

"Senior Sister! You can't go in!" At this moment, Qin Yunze rode over and immediately jumped to hold Yang Xiao.But Yang Xiao had already lost his mind, and his strength was so great that Yunze couldn't hold him back at all. He didn't hold Yang Xiao down until several soldiers fighting the fire came to help.

Seeing that Yang Xiao couldn't break free, she was angry and grabbed Qin Yunze's collar with her backhand, and yelled, "Why are you stopping me! You don't know...is there... your master inside!" Yunze was yelled at by Yang Xiao. He was stunned——Yang Xiao had never yelled at him like this before, and he had never seen such a senior sister. Her eyes were sharp and murderous, which made him feel a chill down his spine.

"You don't know, there...is there someone you like! If you don't save her, don't stop me!!!"

"I know!!" Yunze grabbed Yang Xiao's hands that were holding his collar, and raised his voice uncontrollably, "It's because I know! I can't let you in!" His words were crying, but they revealed pleading It meant that Yang Xiao was still staring at him, but didn't answer.

"It's because I know that with such a fire, the people inside must be more dangerous than good. How could I... How could I look at you and be in danger?!" Yun Ze was not as tall as Yang Xiao, and Yang Xiao grabbed his clothes. The leader could only look up at him, even so, he still met Yang Xiao's murderous eyes without any fear, and his aura was no less than anyone else's.

Maybe that's why, Yang Xiao suddenly calmed down, the killing intent in his eyes just now was replaced by sadness.She let go of Yunze slowly, and slowly slumped to the ground, looking at the fire, not knowing what she was thinking.She just looked at it like that, crying.

Yunze finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing his senior sister calm down, but just as he was about to fetch water, he found someone pulling his sleeve.When he turned around, it was Lie Shan who was biting his sleeve and trying to pull him away.

"Lie Shan, stop making trouble, we're busy..." But Lie Shan still relentlessly pulled Yunze, wanting to take it to the side.Yunze let Lie Shan drag him away in doubt. Although Lie Shan is not big, he is really smart. Could it be that he has discovered something so abnormal?

Lie Shan took him to the grass, which was not far from Zheng's house, facing the gate of the courtyard, but everyone focused on the burning house, so no one cared about it.

"Lie Shan, what the hell are you doing... Yunlan?!" Qin Yunze was about to break away from Lie Shan, but suddenly found Qin Yunlan who was hiding in the grass, with acupuncture points pierced, and tears all over his face.

Yunze quickly untied her acupuncture points, hugged him in his arms and comforted him, "It's okay, sister...don't cry, it's okay..." He held her shoulders again, and wiped her tears , "I'm sorry Yunlan... Brother is late... Are you injured? Who attacked you? Tell brother..."

"..." Yun Lan opened his mouth, and Yun Ze froze in place - he saw Yun Lan's mouth moving, but there was no sound.After Yunlan finished speaking, she was also stunned ("I...my voice..."), she tried her best to speak continuously, shouted vigorously, pinched her throat with her hands...but she couldn't speak no matter what. come out sound.

Yunze suddenly knelt down on the ground weakly, looking at his younger sister who kept trying to speak, and kept crying at the same time.He suddenly felt the sadness of his senior sister just now, and now he looked at Yunlan, his eyes were filled with sadness.

"Yunlan...don't cry..." After a while, Qin Yunze gently hugged Yunlan who was covering her face and crying bitterly, straightened her hair, put the scroll on the ground into her hand for her to hold, and then Carrying her on his back, he turned his head and said softly, "Yunlan, brother will take you home..."

When they returned to Zheng's house, the fire was almost extinguished, leaving only a few sporadic sparks.Qin Yunze put down his sister, handed her over to his father who rushed over, and walked towards Yang Xiao who was kneeling in the ruins.Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw the three charred corpses in front of Yang Xiao, Yunze finally knelt down and cried loudly.

Yang Xiao just knelt in front of the corpse and looked at it. If Yunze looked up at her senior sister at this moment, she would definitely be worried—because Yang Xiao's eyes had neither the anger when he rushed into the scene of fire, nor the sadness when he collapsed. , her eyes are like a pool of stagnant water, she is just watching, unable to read emotions, or even whether the owner of these eyes is still alive.

Yang Xiao stood in front of the ruins of Zheng's house, and he didn't speak a word until he saw other soldiers carrying the body away, and everyone left except Yun Ze who was with him.

"Yunze." Yang Xiao said, Yunze raised his head slightly, looking at the senior sister whose eyes became sharp again.

"Take care of yourself and Yunlan. If I don't avenge today's revenge, I swear I won't be human!!"

The voice of the oath was not loud, but it reverberated in the hearts of the two of them and lingered for a long time.
