Tong Xiuzhen's instep hit the door panel, and someone knocked in. "What should we do?"
Lu Anran gave him a hand, "Yixian yamen servant? Who takes the lead?"
"I don't know the leader. Judging from the official uniform he's wearing, he must be a police officer." Tong Xiuzhen didn't notice that Lu Anran was holding her injured hand, and said anxiously: "I secretly heard them saying that the Fox Fairy is hiding here. Now We need to arrest people.”
Li'er Niang leaned half of her body against the window sill to prevent herself from collapsing. She felt dizzy and her vision was filled with white Sichuan paper. There was only one thought in her mind - the death penalty.
The hatred towards Liu Zhiquan in my heart reached its peak.
But no matter how much you hate it, the person who committed the crime is dead, and the pain and despair have to be borne by the innocent family members who are still alive.
Tong Xiuzhen clenched her hands, her eyes were full of timidity, her body was shaking uncontrollably, but she still said in a firm but strong tone like a mosquito, "I'll go explore the situation again, and you guys can quickly come up with a countermeasure."
Lu Taotao curled his lips: "This shabby farm has only a few empty houses and not even a cellar. I have even caught the rats. Where can you guys hide?"
Tong Xiuzhen was stunned, "Then... what should we do?"
Li'er Niang looked out through the gap in the window and vaguely saw a few figures flashing past the low wall outside. She didn't know if she was cautious or had any concerns, so she didn't rush in with anyone immediately.
Lu Taotao finally got tired of playing, threw away the rat string in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "I'll go take a look."
If the wind blows, the door just shakes, and there is no shadow of Lu Taotao in the room. Let the remaining three look at me, and I look at you.
Lu Anran spoke first: "It's okay, you guys are inside, I'll go see the government officials."
Although there would be trouble, Cheng Jiuwan would not fail to give Mengdu Lu a little face if she showed her identity, insisting that she was transformed into a fox fairy.
When she turned around, Tong Xiuzhen saw a drop of blood coming out of Lu Anran's naturally lowered hand. Later, she realized that she had helped her just now. It must be because of this that the wound opened and started bleeding again.
However, from beginning to end, Lu Anran never made a complaint or even a look of dissatisfaction with her.
"Miss Lu..." Tong Xiuzhen stared at Lu Anran's back as she stepped out of the threshold, and whispered, "What a good person."
Li Erniang couldn't use her strength, so she called Tong Xiuzhen for help. After hearing this, she said: "You must not judge people's character based on their appearance. Miss Lu has a cold temper, but she is warm-hearted in everything she does. Some people look at honest people. , but he did everything that harmed nature, harmed others, and harmed himself."
Tong Xiuzhen knew that Li Erniang was thinking of Liu Zhiquan again, but she didn't dare to talk to her. She thought that she would make amends to Miss Lu later.
The courtyard of the farm has a zigzag structure. The room Lu Anran came out of faces the door. Just as she was about to turn around, Lu Taotao jumped down, grabbed her and dragged her behind the wall, "Be careful, you're playing with arrows."
The two looked at each other in confusion. Lu Anran suspected that Lu Taotao was using homophones to curse, "What sword?"
Lu Taotao blinked his big black and white eyes, "It's not my arrow anyway, you can have it."
Under Lu Anran's indifferent gaze, he chuckled again and said, "It's a long pole with a barb on the tip, so it flies out with a whoosh." After saying this, he thought it was quite interesting and started laughing.
Lu Anran's eyes narrowed: "They want to shoot arrows."
"Uh-huh." Lu Taotao tilted his head, "I saw them setting up bows and arrows, so I stepped aside. Although they are all three-legged cat kung fu, they can still kill the master with random punches, right?"
Lu Anran had no time to talk to her. She had to remind Li Erniang and Tong Xiuzhen immediately. At this moment, a sharp weapon came from the sky. It was like a meteor streaking across the black sky, shining brightly and brightly. Must be able to burn people's eyes.
Lu Taotao kicked open the door, and Lu Anran ran in. He saw Tong Xiuzhen standing blankly at the window, her lowered head slowly raised, her eyes met Lu Anran's, her mouth opened, and her voice With confusion, "Miss Lu, I..."
Lu Anran's dark eyes reflected the fire, and his expression changed from indifferent to rare urgency, "Don't talk or move."
Li'er Niang seemed to have finally recovered from the accident, but looking at Tong Xiuzhen's body that had been hit by an arrow, she seemed at a loss. She pinched Tong Xiuzhen's arms tightly with both hands, and her voice suddenly became hoarse, "Xiuzhen, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Lu Taotao pinched a stream of wind with two fingers, extinguished the spot on Tong Xiuzhen's clothes that had been ignited by the fire particles, and said, "They tied kerosene on the arrows. Are they planning to set us on fire?"
Li Erniang was half-kneeling, holding Tong Xiuzhen's body flat, with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to disturb Lu Anran's diagnosis and treatment, so she bit her lip.
She was the one who hurt Xiuzhen. She was leaning on the window sill and had to help her, otherwise Xiuzhen wouldn't be hit by the arrow right away.
Lu Anran took out a thin lancet from the small cloth bag he carried with him and cut off Tong Xiuzhen's clothes around the arrow. After looking at the location of the wound, he became silent.
"It can't be saved." It was Lu Taotao who spoke. She usually spoke in a coquettish tone with a girlish accent, but now she sounded particularly cold, "If you pull it out, you will die immediately. If you don't pull it out for a moment, you will die." "
Lu Anran knew she was right. The silver needle in his hand stuck into a certain acupuncture point, and he looked up at Tong Xiuzhen, "What do you want to say?" The implication was that Tong Xiuzhen was asked to leave a few last words.
Li'er Niang and the others burst into tears, their chests rising and falling, but they tried their best to suppress the cries that were about to break down. They tried several times but couldn't speak, so they simply turned away.
Tong Xiuzhen's eyes moved, her eyelids opened again, and a string of tears fell from the corners of her eyes. However, her expression was calm, even with a slight smile. She first comforted Li Erniang and said, "Don't feel sorry for me. He was already dead."
Then he said to Lu Taotao: "Great Immortal Fox, you avenge me, I am grateful to you."
Tong Xiuzhen's eyes began to wander, and she tried her best to focus on Lu Anran, "Also, Miss Lu, thank you, I'm sorry."
The apology she had hidden in her heart came out, and she felt relaxed for a while. Her mouth moved, as if there was something else she wanted to say, but looking back at her life quickly, she felt that there was only so much she could say.
Lu Taotao stepped forward, placed his palms against Tong Xiuzhen, and said in a bewitching voice: "The body is dead, and I am called to return to heaven. Om, Qinxi, razah, bang. Om, palamani, daza, humpa stud..."
Under the firelight, her face seemed to be blessed with a holy halo, removing all stubbornness and surliness. It actually showed a solemnity that had never been seen by others. Her mouth opened and closed, "I wish to dedicate all my merits to the ultimate happiness." The world, return to the pure land of all Buddhas...to be freed from the suffering of the world, and the soul to return to the paradise of bliss."
When Lu Anran recalled it a long time later, she felt that this was an indescribable scene. Tong Xiuzhen slowly closed her eyes while murmuring such a prayer, and died peacefully.
Li'er Niang finally burst into tears. She and Tong Xiuzhen had been together for more than a month and had a deep love for each other. Faced with the separation, they couldn't help but let go.
Lu Anran looked at Lu Taotao's right hand that was straightened but not retracted, "You can also save others."
"Ah?" Lu Taotao tilted his head, and when he turned around, he looked like he was having fun with everything because he was afraid of chaos in the world, "I think others have read it before, I must have learned a lot."
Lu Anran shook his head. It was not a matter of resemblance, but that Lu Taotao in that situation seemed to be a completely different person.
"Well..." Lu Taotao became distressed, squeezing his head and thinking for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands, "Then, one of you will die again and let me practice my skills?"
Only Lu Taotao could say such heartless words with confidence, and Li Erniang suddenly stopped crying.
"Place her." Lu Anran looked away from Tong Xiuzhen and looked outside through the window.
Lu Taotao leaned his head together to look at each other, stood up and rested his chin on Lu Anran's shoulder, "Ah ha, they are going to shoot rockets."
Li'er Niang didn't have Lu Anran's strong heart and indifferent attitude toward everyone in the world, nor was she cynical like Lu Taotao. She couldn't understand how normal people could be so calm when seeing someone alive and dead, and she was stunned in place for a moment.
"Sorrow can't solve anything, unless you do nothing and just want to die together." Lu Anran said calmly.
Li'er Niang wiped her face with her sleeve, pulled the white cloth flag on one of the big boxes and covered Tong Xiuzhen, "Don't be afraid, I will take you with me." Her nose felt sour and she squeezed back her tears.
Lu Anran saw that Li Erniang's mood had stabilized, and she gently let go of her clasped hands. There was solidified liquid on her fingertips, a faint bloody smell filled her nose, and there was a non-stop pain like ants gnawing at the bones of her wrists. Onset.
Lu Taotao raised a corner of his lips and said close to her ear: "You clearly care, but you have to act like it doesn't matter. Little sister, it's not good to pretend."
Lu Anran glanced at her, noncommittal.
People have a heart, and as long as it is still beating, it is hot. Even if it is as indifferent as Lu Anran, how can one watch a life passing away in front of one's eyes without being indifferent.
But the crisis is still before us, and as she said, there is no need for unnecessary sadness.
At this time, Lu Taotao asked doubtfully again: "Are they setting fire to force us out?"
"No, they don't need to arrest people." Lu Anran looked at two pairs of puzzled eyes, "They want to burn all the Sichuan paper in the farm."
"Then why haven't they taken action yet?"
"Those who are good at using tricks will be suspicious and anxious, and they will make decisions later."
Lu Taotao nodded: "Oh~ They are afraid that we will have a yellow bird behind them. So, little sister, have you prepared a yellow bird?"
Lu Anran remained silent.
"Miss, have you thought of a countermeasure?"
Lu Anran's eyes were fixed on a small firelight above the low wall, "I was thinking whether these government soldiers obeyed Cheng Jiuwan's instructions or the government's orders."
"It makes no difference."
Lu Anran lowered his eyes and said nothing, but said in his heart: The difference is that if it is the latter, they may not be able to escape.
Cheng Jiuwan may be concerned about the status of the Lu family in Mengdu, but there may be someone more powerful hiding in the dark who must know what a death certificate of innocence is.
Lu Taotao rolled his eyes, jumped up and stepped on the beam to lift a few tiles, and shouted outside: "Miss Mengdulu is here, who of you dares to be presumptuous."
Dozens of flaming arrows were fired at him. Lu Taotao lowered his head and said, "It's over, your name is not very useful."
Lu Anran's heart sank, and when he looked outside, there were already flames everywhere.
