It is said that a long time ago, Tongjing Island was still a relatively rich living island.

Most islanders rely on fishing for a living, and the daily supply and demand can fully meet the needs of self-sufficiency.Therefore, people have lived an ordinary and comfortable life, and never thought that one day, this closed island facing the sea will be reduced to a state of extreme poverty.

Xie Hengyan didn't want to reveal too much about the past memories.Especially behind the screen there is another pair of ears listening, as if they are trying to find out about him all the time.

Fortunately, the girls were all tired, playing and fighting for a while, so they rolled up their bedding and slept sweetly.Just now there was a warm atmosphere full of laughter and laughter, but in an instant only Xie Hengyan was left.

But he was tired, but he couldn't sleep peacefully no matter what.

"How is it possible to sleep?"

At this time, the night was getting deeper, and the room was full of soft breathing one after another.Occasionally the girls fell asleep soundly, and grinned and let out a thunderous snore.

Xie Hengyan stared at the row of red candles in front of the window: "...Do they not regard me as a man?"

The seal behind the screen: "..."

"Hey, the surname is Yin." Xie Hengyan couldn't sleep by herself, so she rushed to harm others, "Why don't you leave...are you going to stay until dawn?"

Yin Chun didn't want to talk to him, let alone say the first half of a sentence.

"Yin Chun?" Xie Hengyan whispered, "I am not mistaken, is that your name?"

Yin Zhenxin said, this guy's eyes and ears are also very sharp, and he can hear the names and relationships of others clearly wherever he goes.

Xie Hengyan: "... Forget it, just ignore it, and forgive you for not daring to speak."

After saying that, he leaned back arbitrarily, leaning against the screen behind him, intending to sleep all night.

He himself was tired, and even his consciousness was slightly chaotic.To put it simply, it is the difference between deep sleep and half awake. Not long after leaning on the screen, people also fell into a trance, and fell into a light sleep accompanied by the sound of dreaming in the room.

At this moment, a gust of wind blows past a row of faint red candles neatly stacked in front of the window.

During this period, two or three sparks disappeared against the wind, instantly frightening the room to dim the peripheral light.

A slender and thin figure gently pushed the bed away, turned over and stepped across the body of a woman who fell into a deep sleep and unconsciousness, then pushed open the door, and walked out slowly as if nothing had happened.

Xie Hengyan opened her eyes suddenly, and almost subconsciously called out in a low voice: "Xiaolu?"

Xiaolu ignored him, only wearing a snow-white and thin coat, and walked barefoot into the corridor.

"Miss Green?"

Xie Hengyan didn't dare to raise her voice, for fear of disturbing people's quiet in the middle of the night.He didn't even bother to call Yin Zhu, and immediately stood up on tiptoe, jumped up and down and chased out the door.

However, when Fang walked to the end of a dark long corridor in front of the door, Xie Hengyan looked left and right, thinking that she had lost her eyes, but she didn't see Xiaolu's familiar clothes.

"What about people?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he raised his head and looked up, and saw that the girl had already stepped onto the top of the floor alone, standing on the edge of the highest wooden railing, with her feet off the ground, as if she wanted to break free from the shackles and turn over and leap down.

Xie Hengyan: "Miss Xiaolu?!"

What the hell is going on this big night?

However, as soon as the words fell, there was a sudden wind in the inner room, the red candle swayed left and right, sparks scattered and flew, and finally stained the creaking wooden frame of the paper window, spread upward along the way, and ignited the uneven floor all the way Mattress!

Xie Hengyan hadn't realized what happened, but only heard a loud noise of howling wind behind her ears, and the blaze soared into the sky, almost engulfing the entire corridor.

All the women in the room who were sleeping peacefully woke up suddenly, screaming in panic——

"what happened?"

"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

"My God, I'm burning my feet! I'm burning my feet! Come on, come on, come on!"

"Ah—run! Run!"

In an instant, there were chaotic figures, and the sound of panicked footsteps continued continuously. Looking at the entire empty building, a large amount of black smoke entered from the window, and instantly spread to many escape routes such as the corner of the stairs.

Xie Hengyan looked up, but saw Xiaolu, who was about to jump down from the top of the floor just now, disappeared from sight again at this moment!

"Miss Xiaolu, where did Miss Lu go?" Xie Hengyan ran all over the ground in a hurry, and seemed to think of something after a long while, and suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, "Yin Zhu? Yin Zhu, come out for me!"

"Didn't you come all the way here to find someone? Why do you shrank like a turtle bastard at the critical moment?"

Just happened to finish the last paragraph of cursing, Ah Chun from the next room had already rushed out of the room with both hands and feet, without shoes on, and just ran downstairs in one mind.

Xie Hengyan rushed to the doctor due to sudden illness, grabbed the girl and asked, "Ah Chun, have you seen Xiaolu?"

Ah Chun had already been so ashamed by the thick smoke that filled the room, and now his soul was about to fly to the sky, so he tremblingly said to Xie Hengyan: "It's this time, what are you looking for? Hurry up and run for your life." !"

Yan Bi bumped his head forward, and rushed down the stairs in front of the overwhelming fire in the corridor, without looking at the road, he stumbled and ran straight to the gate.

The flames soared so high that they almost destroyed all the long ladder railings in the building into coke.Before, I could barely see what was going on around me, but now I looked out in a hurry, except for the black smoke, which smoked people's ears, nose, mouth, eyes and eyes without any fear, and shocked all the girls who were running away. Shouting involuntarily, his throat was hoarse and stinging, and tears welled up in his eyes involuntarily.

Xie Hengyan stood alone in the middle of the dark crowd, and Fang was about to take a step towards the corner of the wooden ladder, but he didn't want to suddenly stretch out a pair of lifeless palms, and silently climbed forward and backward. Neck, shoulders and arms, finally covered his lips with force!

Xie Hengyan opened her eyes, but she couldn't make a sound no matter what: "Ugh...!!!"

The strength behind the hand was surprisingly strong, and Xie Hengyan couldn't break free even after trying his best, so he could only be pulled by others and rushed all the way, avoiding the large and chaotic crowd around him, and breaking into the empty room at the end of the corridor , took him empty-handed and threw him backwards.

This man possessed unprecedented brute force, comparable to a mad buffalo.Xie Hengyan was thrown on the ground by her, and nearly smashed his head on the collapsed beam of the roof—after he managed to stabilize his hands and feet and turned around, he just happened to meet the little green girl who was covered in black smoke all over the sky. A blank face.

"Miss Xiaolu?!" Xie Hengyan said in horror, "What's the matter with you?"

Xiaolu only moved her gaze upwards slightly, and was stunned for a while, then hugged a pair of thin and thin arms tightly, and said tremblingly: "I...I'm so scared."

Xie Hengyan was confused, and asked in astonishment: "What are you doing?"

With tears in Xiaolu's eyes, she repeated: "...I'm so scared, really scared."

Xie Hengyan: "..."

"They are all dead..." Xiaolu opened her eyes wide, and approached quickly and asked, "Why did they die? It won't be long before they die... I will die too, right?"

Hearing her series of lifeless questioning, Xie Hengyan suddenly felt his head was full of bewilderment.

In fact, the scorching fire in front of them was gradually sweeping across the sky, and the girls in the empty building didn't even bother to put on their clothes, and rushed out barefoot to escape.

Only this little sister Lu didn't know which tendon was wrong, she ran up and down the building for a while, and then grabbed people and asked her if she would die...

——If he, Xie Hengyan, could predict people's death in advance, then he wouldn't have to come to this empty building to be a waiter, and go directly to the bridge to set up a fortune-telling stall.

That's what he thought at first.When he turned his head again, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the hideous red mark in the girl's eyes, which seemed to flash past.

In such a situation until now, his indifferent and indifferent face was finally stained with a look of astonishment.

Because this imminent danger signal is too familiar to Xie Hengyan, no one knows what it means better than him.

Xie Hengyan's first reaction was to step forward and try to hold her wrist tightly.

But Xiaolu shook her head and backed away, standing all the way in the middle of the fire rushing towards her face behind the door, and said to him softly: "...Why do people die?"

"Is there really nothing eternal in this world?"

Xie Hengyan was stunned, and gradually revealed a complex expression of bewilderment.

Xiaolu shed tears, not afraid of the dazzling fire that spread to her feet.

She said, "Have you ever lost anything that was most important to you?"

Xie Hengyan raised her head slightly.This time, between the red eyes illuminated by the light and shadow, there was already some indescribable emotion.

He took a step forward, stepped over a row of charred logs destroyed by the fire, opened his eyes, and responded to her word by word: "I have lost many important things."

The red light in Xiaolu's eyes remained unchanged: "Have you thought about taking it back?"

Xie Hengyan's eyes gradually drifted away, and under the guidance of the woman's soft voice, she became more confused and confused: "...thought about it."

Xiaolu opened her arms, her eyes were scarlet, and at the same time she was full of fire: "Then you come to me."

Xie Hengyan completely lost consciousness, and walked towards the deepest part of the fire in a daze.

And Xiaolu was standing not far from him, with the corners of her lips raised, smiling all the time, as if leading him to a happy death.

Just at this moment, the broken door creaked and was pushed open forcefully, and then a bucket of cold water poured from bottom to top, covered Xie Hengyan's messy head, and splashed out indiscriminately. land.

Immediately afterwards, a male voice suddenly rang in his ears, Xie Hengyan's front foot was desperately burrowing into the fire, but Yin Chu pulled his back foot out from the collapsed wooden door frame, and stretched out his hand towards his dripping handsome face without any explanation. He pinched hard:

"Give me... sober up!"
