Aunt Yu was ill and had been coughing intermittently. Aunt Lu would get up from time to time to take care of her, pouring water and giving medicine. Although the space in the stone room was small, it was very well-equipped with water, medicine, Bigu Pills, and a few hiding places.
The month doesn't matter.
Qiuqiu fell asleep leaning against the stone wall, and Aunt Lu took some clothes to cover her.
Aunt Yu coughed twice more and whispered: "Stop working too hard and take a rest."
Aunt Lu looked outside and said, "I feel uneasy and can't sit still."
Aunt Yu shook her head: "Don't worry too much. I've thought about it and it may not be as serious as you think."
Aunt Lu's eyes lit up and she sat down next to Aunt Yu: "Tell me, what do you think?"
Aunt Yu thought for a while and spoke in a low and slow voice: "Don't be impatient, just listen to me. You and I both know what a real person is capable of. There have been so many strong winds and waves, how could it be so easy for the boat to capsize in a small river ditch?"
What? And Miss Jingxin, she is such a careful and cautious person. Even if she encounters a strong enemy and cannot defeat her, she can still run away, right? Didn’t you see the corpse? "
Aunt Lu once comforted herself in her heart, but she had never seen such a terrifying and strange scene in her life. The once bustling town became dead silent, not even the cries of chickens, dogs, insects and birds. Standing everywhere on the street
Looking around is like being in a ghost land.
Those who disappear for unknown reasons and the occasional blood stains all indicate unpredictable dangers.
Aunt Yu asked again: "Did you see blood stains? Are those blood stains fresh or..."
Aunt Lu's voice trembled slightly: "It doesn't look like fresh...it looks like it has already condensed. It must have been a day or two."
"Yes, the real person didn't come down the mountain for a long time. The accident in the town probably happened when the real person came down the mountain. The real person probably went to investigate the matter and didn't bother to go back to the mountain to give us a message."
Aunt Lu couldn't help but nod: "You're right, maybe that's the case."
"Yeah." Aunt Yu coughed a few more times. Aunt Lu beat her back and rubbed her chest while bringing her some water. Aunt Yu took two sips of water and continued: "I don't know what is in the town."
If you want to cause trouble, let me see. If you dare to cause trouble in the town, you may not dare to go up the mountain. Not only are we on the mountain, but there are also monks from Yuanguang Temple, and the abbot there is not easy to mess with."
Qiuqiu didn't sleep peacefully. She vaguely listened to Aunt Yu's voice and felt that what she said was very reasonable.
Sure enough, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Aunt Yu has experienced a lot and has gained a lot of knowledge. Sure enough, her analysis is clear and logical.
"Do you still remember what happened that year? Zhenren went out for half a year and didn't come back. Wasn't there news at that time that Zhenren had encountered something unexpected? What happened later? Didn't Zhenren come back well? I see, what happened this time
The child is probably the same as before. If we wait patiently, the real person and Miss Jingxin may come back soon."
Aunt Lu also echoed: "You are right. We were all very worried back then. Those people were saying things one after another, each one more scary than the other, and we didn't know which one was true... I remember that you were the only one who was particularly calm at that time.
, you have supported everything inside and outside, and it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, right?"
Aunt Yu coughed twice: "Yeah, so don't worry too much. Why don't we wait until dawn? Let's go to Yuanguang Temple. We can ask them to help check things at the bottom of the mountain. There are always more people.
It's much easier for them to do things than us."
"That's right, why didn't I think of that? When the abbot of Yuanguang Temple took over, the real person went to congratulate him. We usually live close to each other, but now that something has happened, we should take care of each other."
It sounds easy to hear what they say, but Qiuqiu is still not as optimistic as Aunt Yu. The best result is of course that the master and senior sisters are safe and sound, but the reality now is that they will never be missing for no reason. There must be something wrong.
What happened.
What if, as Aunt Yu said, Master encountered something after coming down the mountain and left in a hurry without leaving any news for them? What could have caused Master to lose his position was probably that the two senior sisters encountered some danger, or it could be
The master went to investigate the strange events in the town. Perhaps this was the reason why the master left in a hurry.
Suddenly Aunt Lu exclaimed: "There's a fire!"
Qiuqiu jumped up, and even Aunt Yu could no longer maintain her composure. The three of them crowded in the small window and looked out. Through the dense rain curtain, the fire in front of them in the dark night shot straight into the sky, covering half of the mountains.
It turned red.
How could there be a fire outside when it rains like this?
Aunt Lu hugged Qiuqiu with one hand and supported Aunt Yu with the other: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are very safe here and the fire cannot come here."
Although she said words of comfort, her voice trembled slightly. These words were not so much to comfort others, but to reassure herself.
The fire started so fast and was so fierce. It could never have been a natural fire on such a rainy day.
The three people cuddled tightly together, supporting and relying on each other.
Fire won't reach here, but they are not necessarily 100% safe.
It would be easy for such a fire to burn down their house.
Qiuqiu felt like something was blocking her chest, making it uncomfortable even for her to breathe.
That was the place where she lived, the home shared by her master, senior sister, and Aunt Lu and Aunt Yu.
But just like that, everything was burned down.
Dabai and Erbai, they were in a hurry and didn't pay attention to them just now. Can they escape the fire? Even if they escape the fire, there are still people who set the fire...
Like Aunt Lu and Aunt Yu, Qiuqiu felt fear, but besides fear, she also felt more unwillingness and resentment in her heart.
They lived a good life, and they did not hurt anyone or do anything evil. On the contrary, Master was kind and tolerant. People at the bottom of the mountain came to ask for help, and Master never refused. He also cured a spreading epidemic.
He saved the lives of many people. Some people even set up immortality tablets for Master.
But why did they encounter such an unreasonable disaster?
All three of them were sleepy. The fire did not last long and was extinguished after about an hour. However, the heavy rain was still falling and it became pitch black outside.
The night is long and the sky seems to never light up.
When Qiuqiu recalled it after a long time, this long night was still vivid and profound in her memory, and every moment was an endless torment.

Tat, I went to see a dentist today. The treatment I did before didn’t work, and I had to redo it, which cost me half my life. When I got home, my mouth was still filled with the smell of medicine. I’ll go back for a follow-up visit next week.
