"Mother—" He lowered his face pitifully, his tone suddenly softened, and looked at her with aggrieved eyes.Those eyes that looked like Cao Cao were watery, like a clear lake condensed.

As soon as the mother shouted, the others immediately exploded.

"No wonder this son is so handsome. It turns out that my mother is also a rare beauty."

"Beauty is easy to get, but a good mother is hard to find. I think this mother must be virtuous, otherwise how can I raise such an outstanding child?"

Even though he was praised so much, Ah Sheng couldn't help feeling complacent, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

But as soon as she saw her son, her anger immediately covered up her pride. She went up and twisted Pi'er's ears, squinted her eyes, and glared at him fiercely: "You brat has grown up, dare to sneak away, don't you? Let's see if my mother will come home." Hit you with eighty slaps, so that you dare not listen to me in the future!"

Pi'er grinned in pain, nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking rice, clasped his hands together and begged for mercy: "Yes... yes... it's my son's mistake, mother, please forgive me this time, next time, son... I won't dare again next time." .”

His big bright eyes were filled with tears immediately, and he didn't know whether it was realistic acting or real emotion, he shrank his small body, pouted and tugged at her sleeve.

"Then how dare you run around without listening to Mr.'s basic questions or reading the article this time and make my mother worry? Do you know that there are villains and villains outside now, if you are kidnapped, you will... There are no more grapes to eat." She thought about it, and after a moment of hesitation in order to emphasize the seriousness of the consequences, she chose to threaten her son with grapes.

The mouse's son can make holes, and her son also likes to eat grapes the most. His small mouth can eat a whole pot in one go, but he had diarrhea the next morning, and he cried and said that he would never be greedy again. , but after a while a basket of grapes was delivered, and the eyes were salivating again.

The scar is really healed and the pain is forgotten.

Sure enough, as soon as this threat came out, Pi'er's head drooped in an instant, and she burst into tears, with snot and tears all over her body: "Mother, I was wrong, and my son knew it. If my son is so disobedient in the future, mother can beat her. But Anyway, I helped that elder sister, so mother should make up for it."

At this time, a cold and gentle voice suddenly rose from the side, like autumn water drifting into the bottom of my heart, "Little girl, thank you for saving this young master, and please don't blame the young master, the young master is kind and kind, just mischievous for a while, you will know your mistake later It can be changed."

A Sheng tilted his head, seeing that the beautiful girl was neither humble nor overbearing, he gave her a calm salute, while pleading for Pi'er.

Immediately, Pi'er cast a grateful look, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Mother, you can spare your son, and my son will definitely respect you in the future, and don't let you suffer any more."

Seeing that his ears were red, Ah Sheng couldn't bear to punish him anymore, so his tone softened immediately, and he relaxed: "Since the girl begged for you, I will reluctantly let you go this time. But this girl, which family are you from?" Girl, why are you here alone?"

"Ma'am," the girl replied generously, bowing again, "The little girl is from Hebei, and this time she is here to visit relatives in Xudu. I was separated from my aunt in the crowd just now, and when I was waiting there, I met that A drunk rascal came over to disturb me, but fortunately, I met the young master in time to rescue me, and my reputation was restored. The little girl hereby expresses her gratitude to the young master for his kindness."

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down, but Pi'er hurriedly supported her by the shoulders, "Don't, don't, don't," she accidentally touched her bare white neck, and hurriedly withdrew her hands, holding them behind her back as if her hands were on fire. , A shy blush appeared on his face.

"I... I just saw that rascal was too... very upset, and actually didn't do anything." I don't know if it was because of being too nervous, but Pi'er got up and kept looking at the ground, occasionally making eye contact with her. Immediately dodged, as if not daring to look directly at those clear, cold and arrogant eyes.

"Miss Yao, you are still here!"

Pi'er was red-faced and didn't know what to say. Two maidservants ran to the west, and when they saw the girl, they breathed a sigh of relief. It's your turn. Girl, go back now, the old lady should wait again. "

After saying that, they took the girl's hand and rushed to the distance in a hurry. They disappeared in an instant, but the faint fragrance of flowers still lingered in the same place, as if they hadn't gone far.

Pi'er stood where the girl had stood just now, with a blank face and pouted, as if a little disappointed.

"What's the matter?" A Sheng wanted to laugh a little, at such a young age, he actually knew how to be shy towards girls.

Pi'er lowered her face, her voice was lonely: "I... I haven't had time to ask her name yet."

"Why, you still want to keep his name in your heart, so as to cause lovesickness?" A Sheng knelt down, stroked his fluffy hair, and tried to make his smile less obvious, "You are not... Are you in love with another girl?"

Pi'er's face flushed immediately: "That's not true, I... I just thought of helping her because I thought she was pretty."

"Besides, my son doesn't know what it means to like it or not. He feels as happy as seeing grapes when he sees her for the first time."

This metaphor...well, it fits his personality very well.

She still wanted to open her mouth to tease a few words, but suddenly she smelled a burning smell, which got into her nose unexpectedly, choking her to cough a few times.

Her heart sank suddenly, and the smile on her face subconsciously disappeared. She turned around and looked in the direction where the breath came from, her eyes were suddenly stunned.

I saw thick green smoke curling up from the noisy and bustling market just now, and large areas of fire spread and burned everywhere, burning up all the small stalls gathered in groups by the roadside.

The crowd immediately screamed in panic, and the sharp cries for help and cries broke through the eardrums.

"Help!"

"There are spies setting fire, please report to the officer!"

"Come and put out the fire first, it's going to burn down to Minfang!"

The original stage of the Baixi Troupe was burned to ashes by the raging fire. The audience escaped from the sea of ​​flames, their faces were so smoked that they could not see clearly, and the fire on their bodies could not be rolled out, so they could only cry. Let the people around you save their lives.

Some well-meaning shopkeepers on the street brought out buckets and splashed them on them with a "wow".The fire on the clothes was extinguished in a short while, and they all expressed their gratitude, raised their foreheads with their hands, and wiped their tears to rejoice that they survived the catastrophe.

Asheng stopped a woman who had just escaped from danger, stroked her shoulder to comfort her, and asked her when she calmed down: "Auntie, why did you catch fire when it was fine, do you understand?"

"Oh, miss, you don't know how frightened I have been. This old life was almost lost in this troupe." The aunt sighed while patting her chest, and her forehead was still sweating. It's tempting to say, just watch it if you think about it, who would have thought that the fire-breathing circus was really good, the old man was still watching it intently, suddenly a real fire burst out on the stage, and it was all burned up without blinking an eye It’s frightening, the old aunt was so scared that she rolled and crawled, and she ran out with all her life.”

"That barbarian - did he set the fire?" Ah Sheng couldn't help but suspect that man in strange clothes.

The aunt shook her head, "This old man didn't understand, but seeing this hundred circus troupe sneaking around, maybe they started the fire."

She still wanted to speak, but she heard the cries not far away became more and more horribly, the fire slowly spread towards this side, the violent tongue of flame licked people's face like a poisonous snake, and the huge heat wave burned and bit people.

The crowd was in complete chaos, and the mere basin of water could no longer stop the intrusion of the fire waves, and there were shrill and anxious shouts and cursing everywhere.

"It's over, it's over!" Pi'er, who was holding her hand, suddenly yelled, and hurriedly tried to break free from A Sheng's arm, and there was a cry in her voice.

A Sheng was staggered by him, "What's wrong with you?"

"I can't find my elder brother, I'm afraid I'm caught in the fire!" Pi'er burst into tears, choked with sobs in his throat, his eyes were swollen and red, and he stamped his feet desperately.

"What did you say?" Ah Sheng didn't realize it for a moment, and subconsciously pulled him to ask.

He cried: "I'm not going to hide it from my mother. My elder brother took me out this time secretly. When my son met my mother, he actually separated from my elder brother. I was afraid that my mother would blame me, so I didn't dare to tell you. But my son I can't find him now, I'm afraid he was in the fire but no one rescued him, so I can't get out now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Sheng's head suddenly "buzzed".

It turned out that Cao Ang might still be inside.

But how could she leave that child alone, "Pi'er, you go back first, mother will come back after saving your elder brother."

After finishing speaking, without any hesitation, she turned around and rushed into the sea of ​​flames. Behind her, Pi'er couldn't help shouting: "Mom, I'm going too."

With a small body and short legs staggering behind, Ah Sheng hurriedly reached out his hand to signal him not to come again, "Go back quickly, or you will be beaten if you are disobedient!"

She didn't care to turn around to stop her, and ran straight to the burning fire, lifted her skirt, and shouted her name loudly with all her strength: "Cao Ang! Cao Ang!"

Violent waves of fire rushed towards his face, and his whole body was drenched with sweat. He only felt that his face was covered with black ash, and his skin was sticky and extremely uncomfortable.

There were running footsteps behind her, and she thought it was Pi Er who was still following, so she shouted: "I told you, don't be disobedient, listen to me, now go back quickly."

"Mom, it's me."

The voice is mature with a bit immature, calm and anxious.

She immediately froze and stood still, turned around in a daze, and saw a handsome face of a 13-year-old boy in front of her eyes. He was already very tall. His eyes were still clear, and he was trying to smile at her.

"Cao...Cao Ang?" She suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen this child for a long time, but the familiar features still remained in her memory.

He nodded: "Mom, I'm fine."

He stretched out his hand to pull Ah Sheng, and she felt countless feelings in her heart for a moment, she didn't know whether to be excited, happy, or relieved.

"I was afraid of you just now..." She hesitated for a while, and took a breath with some fear.

He laughed, refreshingly, sweeping away the haze of smoke and dust in the sea of ​​flames: "My son knows, but Erfu is alive and well, and he is safe and sound. Isn't this alive and kicking in front of you?"
