Chapter 104 Torch

Pan Qi

It took Pan Qi to pull out his consciousness from the dream. Looking at the sleeping people lying around and sensing the irresistible cold after getting up, Pan Qi remembered that she was Pan Qi, a cook in a half-day castle, not Pan Jinlian, who had leisure on the street and was wearing a bamboo basket.

It's just a dream, which seems too real. On this quiet night, Pan Jinlian can still clearly recall what happened in her dream, which is very different from other dreams. Most dreams will forget everything after waking up. How can they stay in her mind for so long?

Pan Qi decided to wake herself up, so she struggled, groped for her coat in the harsh cold, opened the door of the bedroom and went outside with the slightest movements.

The sky at night is very bright, the bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are lost in the moonlight for half a day. Only the stars far away from the moon still emit fascinating light.

Pan Qi estimated the time with the position of the stars, and it was already the second half of the night. The sweat in her hair has condensed into ice in the wind. This made her go to Lushun's hair, and her hand touching her hair brushed her forehead. Pan Qi touched the edge of the human skin mask. It seemed that this was the reason why she felt itchy on her forehead in her dream. Fortunately, it was dark and no one saw it. Pan Qi carefully pasted the mask again.

Even with her coat, Pan Qi still couldn't stand the cold. After standing for a while, she was ready to go back. Just as she was about to turn around and walk back, a voice suddenly sounded behind her: "What, is this going back?"

Pan Qi's heart suddenly tightened and hurriedly looked back, but it was empty, which made her more anxious, and she simply turned around. At this time, it was found that there was no one, but the man squatting on the ground. When he hurriedly turned around, he did not look to the ground. That man is not someone else, but a hairy egg.

Pan Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, and at least the hairy egg is still his ally now.

"What are you doing here?" Pan Qi asked first. On such a cold day, it seems too strange for Mao Dan to squat here. It's better to ask why.

"If you ask me this, why don't I ask you first?" The hairy egg did not look up. He just fiddled with the stones on the ground with one hand and bent the dead grass with the other hand.

"Me? I just want to pee." Pan Qi casually made up a reason, but she immediately found a loophole in this reason.

"Oh? Pissing? It seems that since you went out, you just gasped, and then looked at the sky, as if you had pasted the mask again and didn't see you pee. There is a trace of mockery in the tone of the hairy egg.

This is also the loophole that Pan Qi just found. Mao Dan should have witnessed all the processes of his own coming out and peeing. This kind of lie is really too bad.

Fortunately, there is no need to tell the truth about the hairy egg.

"After I came out, I felt too cold, so I stopped peeing." Pan Qi casually explained that this was a reason that could barely make sense, although Pan Qi knew that Maodan would not believe it. So what are you doing here?" In exchange for the hairy egg answering the question, of course, Pan Qi did not expect a false reason to be exchanged for a real reason.

"I came out to see the stars." The hairy egg still fiddled with the stones and dead grass in his hand and did not look up at Pan Qi.

"Look at the stars? You seem to keep your head down, so what stars can I show you? Pan Qi didn't buy it. She was not satisfied with this randomly fabricated reason. Since Mao Dan forced her to make up a reason, Mao Dan also had to make some decent words to muddle through.

"I really came to see the stars, but the stars I wanted to see had not yet appeared..." Mao Dan also said a lot of things, but the sound gradually became smaller, and Pan Qi was not interested in understanding the reason for this fabrication.

For Pan Qi, she had a few words with Mao Dan, which diluted the shadow of the nightmare. The fatigue brought by hard work during the day hit her. She really wanted to return to the cold bunk and complete the poor sleep every day.

"Look at it yourself. I'm going back." There is no need to care about Maodan. Pan Qi bypassed him and walked straight to the bedroom without waiting for Maodan's answer.

As imagined, Mao Dan did not answer. However, this quietness brought a little angry anger to Pan Jinlian. As she walked, she angrily kicked the pebble next to her.

"Wait." The hairy egg suddenly let out a low voice.

Pan Qi instinctively wanted to turn his head to see what had happened, but before he turned his head, he already had a hand that grabbed Pan Qi's left hand.

"It appeared, there." It's the sound of hairy eggs. The hairy egg pulled Pan Jinlian with one hand, and the other finger pointed to the eastern sky. Pan Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes with his right hand and looked along Pan Qi's fingers. A dark red shadow appeared in the low skyline.

"What is that?" Pan Qi's voice trembled a little. She knew that it was because of the cold, not because of the vision in front of her.

"It's a comet!" The voice of the hairy egg is also trembling, but it sounds not because of the cold, but because of excitement. It is a red comet that guides everyone out of the dark torch. It came as promised.

Maodan's hand trembled with his excited words. Pan Qi felt the cold from Maodan's palm. It seemed that he had been outside for a long time, probably because of excitement. Sweat appeared in Maodan's hand. The limited warmth in the sweat quickly dispersed in the night, and Maodan's hand became ice. Cool and slippery.

Pan Qi's nerves were suddenly tightened! She remembered this feeling clearly. In the dream she had just experienced, she was touched up and down by such a pair of hands. The shame made Pan Qi extremely angry. She even shouted at the sky and let Huang Hu kill the hairy egg with a third name.

In a moment, Pan Qi calmed down. That's just a dream, and under the cover of the variant clothes, you can't touch those parts of your body at all. Even if the hairy egg really touches your body, you will never feel that way. It's just a dream, and now that I wake up, I can't use the last name for what happened in my dream.

"It's just a star, how can it be a torch? I have seen the comet you mentioned before. All I know is that it is called a broom star. People who see it will have bad luck, but red stars are not common. Pan Qi attracted Mao Dan's interest in talking. Mao Dan is definitely not stupid. He cares so much about this star, so it is really necessary to ask in detail.

"This star represents the birth of a great hero. He will change the fate of many people. He will rise from the east and slowly cross the whole sky." The voice of the hairy egg is still trembling.

Pan Qi lost interest in this boring prophecy. She was a person manipulated by prophecy. If it hadn't been for those predictions, maybe she would not have fallen into this step. If she hadn't let the nun enter the door for a moment, she would not have killed Haisha, even if all the trajectories of life in the future would not have changed. If it changes, Haisha will not want to revenge on himself, and he will not be exiled for half a day.

After Pan Qi heard the absurd prediction, he became tired and suspicious of this prediction for the first time.

"Are you so interested in heroes?" Pan Qi's expression tended to be fanatical when she saw Mao Dan. Once upon a time, she also hoped that she could marry a real hero, but now the word hero gives her the feeling that it is farther away than the red comet.

"I want to follow that hero and witness the birth of a real legend." Mao Dan took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at the comet in the distance. Now, Pan Qi, it's time for us to win freedom. The topic of Mao Dan suddenly changed, and Pan Qi asked him cleverly.

"Why did you suddenly become so anxious?" The hairy egg in Pan Qi's impression has always been not slow.

"After dawn, it will be November 15th. I don't want to spend the New Year in the half-day castle." The hairy egg replied quietly. Pan Qi thought that Mao Dan would say something to find heroes, but Mao Dan's answer was always different from her idea.

Pan Qi shook his head gently and would not make such a superfluous conjecture in the future to increase his frustration.

"But all this, we will say tomorrow that it will be discovered by others if it has been out for too long." Pan Qi reminded the hairy egg. In addition, she also understands that if she doesn't work in the half-day castle, she can't live for an hour. If she doesn't sleep now, there must be no way to do tomorrow's work.

"Hmm." Mao Dan nodded obediently, walked in front of Pan Qi, and opened the door of the bedroom.

And Pan Qi followed him. Before lying down, Pan Qi suddenly wanted to pray to the god in his heart, hoping not to have the same nightmare as just now. But at this time, she found an embarrassing problem. She had never worshipped God and Buddha and didn't know which god to pray to. Pan Qi had no choice but to shake his head, say her wish to the air, and fall asleep.

Ximenqing

Ximen Qing did not dare to leave the martial arts house. It was already midnight, but he felt that it was not suitable to enter any room as him, so he could only sit at the door of the living room. He watched the darts wipe the last trace of blood in the yard by the moonlight, and then shook his head and left one after another. Only Ximen Qing and the man named Lao Wu were left in the yard.

"Ximen, you see, it's getting late, and I don't know when I can come back. There are many women in the Wu family. Isn't it appropriate for you here?" When Lao Wu spoke, he stretched out his hand and was obviously ordering him to eviate guests.

Ximenqing stood up and said, "I have something to say to all. I have to say it tonight." Looking at Lao Wu's mouth to open, Ximen Qing immediately answered, "You must say it face to face." In this way, he forced back what Lao Wu wanted to convey.

"It's okay. Anyway, it's not peaceful today. You can definitely come back before dawn. If you want to wait, just wait." Lao Wu threw the broom in his hand casually, and his attitude and movements were very contempt for Ximen Qing. Then he clap his hands and walked into the western wing, which was probably his bedroom.

The servant of the Wu family really reassured me. Ximen Qing smiled helplessly at the moon and sat on the cold stone steps again. Unexpectedly, the people of the Wu family were really relieved of themselves, so they threw themselves in the yard and then went to sleep at ease. But soon Ximen Qing reacted that even in the seriousness of a servant, now he is like a homeless dog. This reassurance is actually an extreme contempt for his existence.

As a man, this is really shameful.

Why don't I go home and stay here to suffer this humiliation. Ximen Qing wanted to stand up, but his buttocks seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He lived in the Ximen Pharmacy. He didn't know whether the remnants of Li Wuyi gang had left. If he was still in the Ximen Pharmacy, wouldn't he throw himself into the net this time? The dislocated shoulder is still painful. If you meet them, you will definitely be caught without any suspense. The humiliation should be hundreds of times humiliated by Lao Wu.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ximen Qing lowered his noble head under the eaves of the Wu family living room.

I don't know how long it took. Ximen Qing heard the footsteps and looked up. Wu Song came back from the outside with an excited face. When he left just now, he was still staggering. Unexpectedly, now not only the pace is strong, but Ximen Qing can also hear intermittent small songs in Wu Song's mouth. What good things have happened to Wu Song?

Alas, Wu Song's results this night can't pass through these talkative darts masters and spread all over Yanggu. Wu Song's reputation as a ghoul will add a strong color to his hero's image, and those women will be even crazier when talking about Wu Song's name.

Ximenqing suddenly felt that the love he yearned for was so close to Wu Song and so far away from himself.

"Brother Siquan, why haven't you gone back yet?" Wu Song actually said hello first, and there was no insult in his words. But somehow, Ximen Qing sounded more ashamed.

"Wu Dutou, to tell you the truth, those thieves are in my medicine shop. They know that I have defected to you. I'm afraid that they haven't withdrawn yet, and this time they will be plotted. Ximenqing deliberately put the word "reliance" very seriously. He wanted to rely on this way to remind Wu Song that morally speaking, he should have the obligation to protect himself.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about this. They have been evacuated all night, and I have limited hands, so I didn't chase them. These people should belong to a secret organization in the capital, and they won't be able to get along with a small pharmacy. Don't worry about going back. Wu Song waved his hand, and there was boldness in his movements.

"Did you send someone to see it?" Ximenqing carefully asked questions.

"Hmm." Wu Song has walked behind Ximenqing and returned to the living room as if no one was around.

This perfunctory tone annoyed Ximen Qing. Wu Song just said that there were not enough people. It was impossible for him to send only one or two people to the pharmacy to check. It is likely that he did not send anyone at all, just dealt with me randomly. After all, Wu Song still hates the ginseng, but I don't know that such a thing will happen on the evening of August 8th. If I knew, I would have sent something else. Although An Daoman will die, he can't blame me.

If I didn't turn to Wu Song this time, but did my best to help this organization in the capital, maybe they wouldn't kill me, and I wouldn't have fallen into such a white-eyed scene.

Ximenqing no longer had the face to sit under the eaves of Wu Song. He stood up angrily and wanted to leave. Thinking that it was not appropriate, he turned around and said to the closed living room door, "Ximen Qing said goodbye." After holding his fist and salute, he slowly walked out of the gate of the martial arts family. Passing through the window of the sea sand, Ximen Qing looked at the window fiercely, as if the winter window paper would be pierced by his eyes, and the beautiful sleeping posture of the sea sand was undoubtedly seen.

Ximenqing walked to East Street and went all the way east. He doesn't want to go back to the pharmacy, but if he doesn't go there, there will be nowhere to go tonight. I don't know when the wallet on my body fell off. Even if it didn't fall off, now it looks like a homeless dog, dragging a painful arm. Even if you go to the land of flowers and willows to have fun, you will be laughed at by the girls there.

I have received enough ridicule and don't want to be laughed at by those bitches anymore. Ximen Qing turned his head to the east where Wu Song's family was located and spat fiercely.

When he looked up after spitting, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. In the east, a little higher than the horizon, a dark red appeared. At first, Ximen Qing thought it was on fire, but he rubbed his eyes and found that it was actually a star.

It drags its long tail like a meteor, but it is still in the air, like a torch burning in the eastern sky.

It seems that this thing should be called a broom star, and Ximen Qing slowly searched for memories. No, it also has a name, a comet, which is only seen once in many years. Never heard of the red color of comets. Ximen Qing looked at the eastern sky and was spontaneously stunned. This must represent and symbolize something. This is an opportunity. Ximen Qing roared loudly in his mind, as if it was a turning point in fate.

Then he strode westward, and the fear in his heart was swept away by the star. He passed through the cross street, walked to the details, and slowly walked into the west gate pharmacy. Before the door of the pharmacy was closed, Ximenqing gently pushed it open.

"The owner is back. Have you seen the shopkeeper?" As soon as Ximen Qing entered the door, he heard the clerk ask this. He saw a lot of them appear in the lobby of the pharmacy.

"Have those people left?" Ximen Qing did not answer the question, but asked the guy.

"They left, probably at dinner. Have you seen the shopkeeper? These guys asked Ximen Qing tirelessly.

"Didn't he come back?" Ximenqing's heart is mixed. It seems that the pharmacy shopkeeper may be dead.

"In the evening, it seemed to be back. We saw a figure very similar to him at the door, and then disappeared." The man touched his head and couldn't hide his sleepiness.

"You guys clean up. I'm going to join the army. If you want to make achievements, come with me." After Ximenqing said this, he jumped himself. After being stunned, he nodded firmly.

Not bad, I'm going to join the army.
