The winter night came very early, before seven o'clock, it was completely dark, the vehicle was driving smoothly, and the scenery along the way passed by one by one.

Arriving at the destination, after getting off the car, He Zijing looked up at the ink-like sky, the moon was hanging high, and the dark clouds did not cover its bright brilliance, but there were no stars around it, and it looked so lonely. It always feels like something bad is going to happen.

The place where the major lives is decorated with lights and festoons, which adds a bit of splendor in this troubled world, but at this time, the splendor is also frightening, and everyone will avoid it.

The cold wind was blowing hard, and He Zijing withdrew his eyes mixed with various emotions. The major let the interpreter leave, and took him into the mansion himself. He knew that he couldn't understand Japanese, but he would still talk to him from time to time. Just laugh with me.

The major took him into his room, ordered a few servants to put water in the tub, then showed him a lot of strange things, taught him how to use them, and walked around until the water was poured. The major opened the screen and pointed at the bucket to take off his clothes The long shirt signaled him to go into the water.

The cyan long gown was taken off, and the white gauze dress inside was clear and transparent. There was an ink belt around the waist, and the gauze ribbon was close to the body. The exquisite and delicate figure was vividly reflected, and the delicate black long braid was attached to the chest. .

The major got some water and sprinkled it on He Zijing's body, and stroked the two faint spots with his fingers. He Zijing pushed his hand away and shook his head.

The major refused to hug He Zijing and caressed his back, leaning his lips against his shoulder and pecking.

Suddenly a black figure poked out from the screen, the face gradually became clear, it was the child he picked up, He Zijing made a gesture to keep him quiet.

He didn't understand what the major was talking about. With all his clothes off, he stood naked in front of this man, stepped into the tub, and the major wiped his body carefully with a face towel in his hand. From time to time, he would look at the screen, if caught When people find out, it's over.

The major's palms rubbed against his body, rubbed against his face, and after taking a bath, he picked him up and walked to the big bed. Maybe it was because of the child's presence that he didn't have any big waves in his heart. The child was gone.

Someone was talking outside the door, and the major immediately adjusted his clothes and strode out.

"Second Young Master."

A head suddenly popped out from under the bed, and He Zijing immediately pushed his head back under the bed.

"How did you get in?"

The child pointed at this and that was like playing a riddle, so he didn't want to pursue the matter and let the child leave quickly, but the child smiled and grabbed his hand and let him go too.

"The second young master is on fire."

"Ok?"

He Zijing didn't understand, so he put on his clothes and asked the child to lead him outside.

"Boom." The sound made the child shrink towards him in fright, and he patted the child's little head to plug his ears.

"Second young master, fire."

Looking up, the fire became more and more fierce, and the entire Major's Mansion was almost surrounded. Those people outside were rushing towards the raging fire with water while avoiding the splash of sparks in a panic.

"You did it?"

Undoubtedly, the kid's hands were dark and had a pungent smell of gunpowder. It was said that he was stupid and he was not stupid to know how to set fire to the dumpster.

"Now, you go back first, don't let people find you."

"Second Young Master, I'll leave as soon as I leave."

"Why are you disobedient? They dare not take my life. If they know that you did it, they will kill you."

"The master said that the second young master is here, there is more danger than good, and the second young master will follow me."

He Zijing had no choice but to go out with him for a few steps. The fire had already reached this side and some officers rushed over. In desperation, He Zijing pushed the boy to the corner, pretended to put out the fire and left quietly.

"It's very dangerous here, you go first, and it's over if others find out."

"The second young master will go with me."

"I will bring disaster to my family if I leave. If you leave, no one will make things difficult for you. If you are more obedient, do more and talk less, my parents will not embarrass you. You will always keep you. Be obedient, okay? Go back and wait for me—"

"Second Young Master... Second Young Master..."

Even though there were thousands of words he wanted to express, but nothing could be said and it was blocked in his throat. He held the second young master's hand and looked at the second young master as if he was sure.

"Let's go, let's go, no one will find you in the chaos now, let's go!"

The boy shook his head and ran away from this place of right and wrong. When He Zijing went to help again, the fire had already died down a lot. The major probably didn't have the mood to come back again. There must be many funeral affairs waiting for him to sort out.

Unexpectedly, the major led someone to detain him, and he didn't understand what he said, but then he was put in prison.

The wailing was unbearable in the prison. Some Chinese were detained and tortured, some grabbed the railing of the cell and shouted for help, and some Chinese were dying but were still being tortured and raped.

He Zijing's chest seemed to be crushed by a gold pendant, he couldn't breathe, and the pain was terribly painful. The major ordered someone to tie him to a cross. His hands and feet were nailed to the wood, tortured and interrogated, and the white gauze was stained with blood.

Soon the interpreter arrived. The interpreter and his father were old acquaintances, probably to persuade the major not to use severe punishment on him.

"Zi Jing doesn't know what he did!"

"The major said that you burnt the warehouse, and you have a smell on your body. Zijing, do you know where this smell comes from?"

He just grabbed the boy's hand just now, and he didn't expect the major to have such a keen sense of smell, but he couldn't confess the boy, after all, he risked himself to save himself.

"I was fighting the fire with everyone, and it's normal to get the smell. Before the fire broke out, the major was with me. How could I set the fire? The major's mansion is heavily guarded, how can I, a scholar, bring someone in to commit crimes?"

"Major Zijing asked me to bring a message to your father, saying that you were burned to death in the fire, and asked me to go back with a scorched corpse. He wanted to keep you. He thought that this matter must have something to do with you. I will probably do what the major said, so take care!"

He Zijing didn't dare to express anything, and he didn't dare to ask the translator to bring a message to his family, for fear of being found out. The translator probably said these words behind the major's back, because the translator's expression was also extremely uncomfortable.
