"Should we lock the door?" The soldier looked at the open door hesitantly and asked Dijia.
Dijia shrugged casually: "Why are you asking me? My opinion doesn't count among these four people."
Soldier:"… "
So frank?!
You are the admiral!
Several eyes immediately and tacitly fell on Baili Xin.
It was still summer outside, but as soon as they stepped into the room, they were once again surrounded by freezing cold.
Baili Xin looked at the open door. Just like before, the outside had turned into a world of ice and snow.
He said, "Put it on the bed first. I'll go to the door."
As he spoke, Baili Xin walked to the door.
Night had already fallen, and in the distance fireworks could be heard exploding into the sky from time to time.
The colorful fireworks swayed, dispelling a little of the silence outside.
Snowflakes began to float down from the sky. The north wind was raging, blowing the snowflakes all over the sky and into the room through the crack in the door.
The courtyard that should have been bustling with people was now empty. It seemed that only we were left in the world.
Feeling a little itchy at his feet, Baili Xin looked down and saw the four little foxes arching their legs and acting coquettishly.
Baili Xin was shocked, withdrew his gaze, went to the door, and instantly locked it.
"This room is so cold, even colder than an ice cellar. The Madam has been spending the winter like this. Is she not burning charcoal, or is the charcoal basin not here? Otherwise, should I go out and find some charcoal?" A soldier spoke after putting the Madam on the bed.
"I guess it's because of fear?" Another soldier covered the lady with a thick blanket and blew on her folded hands. "A big fire and a bowl of knockout drug buried the whole family of the lifesaver in the sea of fire. Even if Mr. Li is not afraid, his wife is afraid."
"I guess this lady can't stand even the sight of fire."
As he spoke, breath kept coming out of his mouth and his body was shaking in the cold. "But why is it so cold tonight? I feel numb all over my body and I can't feel my feet anymore."
At the end of the conversation, his mouth began to become clumsy, "But was it so cold just now?"
Another soldier was also shivering with cold. He glanced at the people in the room, then gritted his teeth and slowly moved to the side of the soldier, "Brother."
The soldier exhaled white air: "What?"
Another soldier opened his arms and said, "Hug me, keep me warm, brother. I'm freezing to death."
"Just hug me!"
Dog's life matters.
Baili Xin lowered his head, and the four little foxes began to tremble. He bent down and held the little foxes in his arms. As soon as he stood up straight, he felt his vision was blocked by a dark shadow.
Looking up, I found that Diga had appeared in front of me at some point, with his arms open and looking at me expectantly.
Baili Xin groaned for two seconds: "I'm not cold."
Dijia: "No, you are cold."
Baili Xin was about to say something when the system prompt sounded again.
Ding! Warning! The character is about to deviate, please...
Without waiting for the system to finish, Baili Xin immediately said: "You are right, I am cold!"
Just as Dijia was about to hold Baili Xin in his arms, there was a sound of the door suddenly opening from outside.
"Da da."
"Da da."
"Da da."
It was a rhythmic knocking sound, soft at first and then growing louder.
But that was not the sound of knocking on the door, it was more like the sound of chopping through the door.
Baili Xin's eyes turned serious, and Dijia had to withdraw his hands.
The two people hugging each other over there were already frozen and frightened. They looked outside in fear and asked in a trembling voice: "Outside, is it quiet outside?"
Baili Xin walked to the door and looked out through the crack, only to see a dark shadow squatting by the door.
Because the gap is very small, I can't see the whole face within my sight. I can only vaguely see the person's butt, and I can't see what the person is doing.
Baili Xin opened the door. Outside, the summer breeze was blowing gently and there was not even a ghost in sight.
He closed the door again, and through the crack in the door, the man came out again.
The thing I was most worried about happened, time and space were dislocated.
The two soldiers approached Baili Xin with curiosity and fear, and peeped through the crack of the door. As they watched, they lowered their voices and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Another soldier: "I can't see it, I just see a big butt. Why don't we go out and ask? I was scared to death just now, I thought I saw a ghost."
The soldier coughed lightly, gathered his courage, and shouted outside: "Hey, who are you? What are you doing?!"
The man seemed not to hear our voices and kept working with his head down.
The "da da, da da" sound never stopped.
"Hiss, how weird." The soldier shuddered, "Why is there no one outside? This person is sneaking around, is he trying to burn us to death?"
"Burn to death..."
"Burn to death..."
As if in response to the soldier's words, the lady lying unconscious on the bed suddenly murmured a few words in a low voice.
A few people turned their heads and saw that the eldest lady was still lying on the bed, with no intention of getting up.
Baili Xin looked at the two soldiers and said, "Stay here and keep an eye on the outside. We will go over and take a look."
Soldier: "Okay."
The two men came to the bedside, and the eldest lady still had her eyes tightly closed.
His already old face was even more wrinkled and huddled together, his brows were tightly knitted, the room was very cold, and a thick layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Li Lang, I'm sorry."
"It's all my fault. You got hurt. It's all my fault."
"Marry if you want, do whatever you want."
The woman was still in a coma, her eyeballs covered by her eyelids moving wildly.
In the nightmare, the words were incoherent, each sentence was fragmented, and Baili Xin could only extract some information from the words.
This passage should be about the fact that after we came to this town, the rich man Li started to take concubines.
The fact that the rich man Li had his penis bitten off seemed to have caused the lady great suffering. In her subconscious, the rich man Li's injury was closely related to the shoving at that time.
So they allowed the rich man Li to take concubines all the time, even though it was obvious that he didn't even have the ability to do so.
"Fire, such a big fire."
The woman's sleep talk suddenly became anxious. She shook her head desperately and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Li Lang, help them, wake them up quickly."
"Wake up, please wake up, run, there's a big fire."
"No, I didn't kill you."
"We just want to get our things back."
Get your stuff back
Baili Xin leaned close to the woman's ear, and his voice suddenly became very charming, "Do you want to take your things back?"
The woman opened her mouth and gasped for air. "Fox fur."
"Liu, it's time to bury it."
"Calm the souls."
"No, no."
"Li Lang's lifeblood!"
The woman suddenly screamed.
"Don't blame us. Don't blame us."
Baili Xin pursed her lips.
It seems that Liu Changfeng wanted to bury the five foxes to comfort the dead. But how could Mr. Li and his wife be willing to do that? The man's life was bitten off and his fur was gone.
So they took advantage of the Spring Festival to give the Liu family a knockout drug.
Originally, he just wanted to take away the fox's "fur", but how could a greedy person be satisfied with that small sesame seed after seeing more wealth
So he also took away the gold, silver and jewelry that made the real family happy, as well as the portrait of the fairy that Li Caizhu thought could make his wishes come true.
The reason why Mr. Li took away the portrait of the fairy was probably because he secretly heard the fairy say "I can fulfill your wish" when she was coaxing the scholar.
No matter what era a man is in, if he loses his life force, he loses his dignity as a man.
Therefore, when he met the fairy for the first time, Mr. Li asked the fairy to help him complete his body.
But unfortunately, what the fairy said were just lies.
Therefore, after the death of his first wife, the wealthy master Li simply put the fairy lady into cold storage. It was not until something happened that he remembered the fairy lady.
However, in a hurry, the fairy girl became the thirteenth concubine, or the so-called family member.
The purpose of all this is simply to avoid death.
If you follow this logic, everything makes sense.
The eldest lady had no intention of waking up yet, so Baili Xin continued to ask, "Did you set the fire at the Liu family?"
"no!"
The eldest lady suddenly screamed.
"not us."
“It gets up on its own.”
"It lit up with a bang!"
"It's so scary, such a big fire."
"Bang"
While they were watching, a huge fire that killed everyone in the temple suddenly broke out with a loud bang.
Is this just a coincidence of the flames burning
Or is there some special connection
From the fire at the Liu family in the twentieth year, to the death of the eldest lady of the Li family in the third year, to the fire at the Heguan of the rich man Li in the third year.
They all seem to be connected.
"ah!"
The soldier's shouting attracted the attention of Baili Xin and Dijia. Baili Xin said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
The soldier trembled and said, "Just now, that man moved the things into the yard."
"He kept his head down and his back to us, so we didn't see his face. ..."
The soldier swallowed.
"He walked to the center of the yard, bent down and put something down, and then he disappeared."
"There is a new brazier in the yard."
"The brazier is filled with charcoal."
Prisin stood up from the bed.
The soldier's pupils began to tremble. "I heard that on the day the eldest lady died, there was a basin of charcoal in the room. She was lying on the bed, and there were four maids in the room."
"In..." The soldier's voice was almost crying, "The four of us, the lady, the charcoal, and the cold winter."
"Help! This isn't a serious situation. Are we going to get burned to death?!"
The soldier looked helplessly at Baili Xin and Dijia, "My lord, what should we do?"
"Don't panic," Baili Xin comforted, "The brazier is still outside. As long as no one brings it in, there will be no danger for the time being. Don't scare yourself."
Soldier: “Yes.”
"As long as we don't take it, we'll be fine."
"That's right, time and space are dislocated, right? We can't even touch the brazier, hahahaha."
Baili Xin's mouth curled up and his eyes became increasingly gloomy.
As long as no one takes it
The important thing is that our bodies are still under our own control.
But if our bodies become conscious puppets like the soldiers performing the opera, will the dislocation of time and space still be useful
At that time, I'm afraid no comfort will be of any use.
But why
The other four soldiers entered this world in the painting and were controlled, and they acted according to their own consciousness.
Is it a coincidence? Or is it that the power hidden in the dark cannot control so much
Or is it because of other reasons that we cannot control them
