Chapter 013 White Lantern
Something seemed to be burning in the distance.
The sky is getting redder.
The coldness in spring swept away, and even the air became hotter.
There were crowds of people around the fire, and those who carried water and those who put out the fire were busy. The government rushed over and wanted to save people, but no one dared to go in when they saw the fire.
Fortunately, the Tang family's house was built against the mountain, and the surroundings were empty and there were no other people.
No matter how big the fire is, it will not cause any burden to others.
But unexpectedly, it had just rained before, and as Mars surged, the continuous buildings and buildings immediately started to burn. When the water vapor was dry and the wind blew, the flames danced like a dragon.
The person who tried to put out the fire couldn't help but throw the bucket and retreated repeatedly.
The black smoke rose and the eyes were red.
Everyone coughed and retreated.
The hot wind was blowing over the Tang family, and the black smoke was blowing desperately.
In a blink of an eye, the smoke melted into the morning mist.
Although it was still dark, dawn seemed to be not far away.
The black smoke was blown to the river by the wind.
In the pleasure boat, Tang Ning was sitting at the entrance. Not far behind her were Jia Lan and Tang Xin lying side by side. The two teenagers were sleeping there, looking carefree, which was really enviable.
She breathed silently and closed her eyes.
There was a continuous sound of water in my ears, huh... huh... like a gentle tune...
Tang Ning closed his eyes and had a dream in this tenderness.
In the dream, she was still a small figure, and was tightly held in her arms by her mother. She smelled the faint fragrance on her mother's clothes, exuding a sweet peach smell.
"Where is Daddy?"
She looked like a child and asked her mother with her head raised.
My mother laughed when she heard this, but she didn't smile very well.
She found it very strange.
My mother is beautiful and smiles more beautifully, and she always looks good.
Why does my mother show such an expression when she talks about her father?
Is it a quarrel?
She asked again.
The mother shook her head, her voice was very soft, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Dad's headache. She doesn't want to see anyone, so don't quarrel with him."
Suddenly, the picture changed and the weather seemed to be much warmer.
She was wearing a thin spring shirt, but she still looked small.
The palms spread out, and the flesh is white.
She sat on the swing and kicked off her shoes, and her feet looked chubby.
He's completely a little baby.
She grabbed the rope with both hands, swinging around, and was very happy. The swing was getting higher and higher, but she didn't feel any fear in her heart. Until she saw a white lantern.
Such a pale color, such a pale light.
The rope sniffed and broke.
She fell off the swing and cried.
The wet nurse ran over hurriedly and saw her crying, her eyes were red as she saw her eyes red.
She opened her mouth to ask for her mother.
The wet nurse hugged her and tears came out: "My good lady... the wife is gone..."
But she turned a deaf ear and still cried and shouted to see her mother.
White lanterns hung all over the house.
The mother never showed up.
She heard the servants whispering, saying that her mother died suddenly and her death was horrifying, so her father refused to let her meet her for the last time.
But my mother has always been strong and healthy, and she has never had any wind and cold. How could she die suddenly?
She didn't believe it, and went to find her father with two fat short legs.
Along the way, she refused to stop anyone who told her.
When she arrived at the study, she saw her father standing there motionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.
She walked over gently and called him, "Dad?"
He turned around and frowned when he saw her.
My father, who has always loved her very much, looked at someone else's daughter at this moment.
Tang Ning woke up suddenly.
The heart is beating wildly.
She held her chest and her mind became chaotic.
She hasn't done such a dream for a long time.
Those scenes and dialogues are dusty memories. The missing father, the mother who died young... no matter which one, when she thinks about it, she still feels depressed.
Taking a breath, Tang Ning stood up from the ground, walked to the bow of the boat with a slight hand and let the cool breeze blow on his face.
My mind is a little clearer.
The stuffy chest seemed to have dissipated a little.
She slowly lowered her head.
Suddenly, a hair on the back of my neck.
Tang Ning turned around suddenly.
But there was no one behind him, nothing was there.
Standing in the wind, Tang Ning raised his hand and pressed the back of his neck, and a layer of fine goose bumps appeared on her head. Just now, she did feel it, as if... someone was looking at her secretly.
Touching my neck, I remembered unpleasant memories.
Tang Ning hurriedly headed to the stern of the boat: "A Yan."
Aryan emerged and looked at her.
This guy's eyes are always open and disgusted.
Not it.
Tang Ning walked into the pleasure boat, but the two people inside did not wake up. Although she had just been outside and found that they were not awake, she was sure and became even more uneasy.
Goose bumps on the skin faded and came out again.
Tang Ning knew very well that this was not because of the wind or the cold. The strange feeling of being stared at by someone was following her like a shadow and did not disappear because of her walking.
But they are on the water right now.
There is no ship around, so naturally there is no one.
On the pleasure boat, there were only three of them besides A Yan.
Among them, Jialan was sleeping deeply, as if even her breathing had stopped. If she hadn't come up and listened, she could still hear his heartbeat, and she would have thought that the person lying here was a dummy.
Beside him, Tang Xin was unconscious for a long time and had no intention of waking up.
With this calculation, can't she be peeking at herself?
Tang Ning sat next to Jialan and looked down at his face.
Handsome teenager.
Handsome monster.
When she saw her in the well, her world had turned upside down.
There are monsters in this world.
Although there were only a few of them on the boat, there might be some monsters hidden in places where she couldn't see them. After all, when I ran into the antique on the street, the antique never found A Yan.
Thinking of this, seeing that the two people in front of him still didn't seem to be awake, Tang Ning stood up again and went to the stern of the boat.
"Argy, soaring."
Ayan wrinkled his face.
Tang Ning smiled and leaned closer to it: "Look, are there any other monsters on this boat besides you and the fox?" She pressed her voice very low.
A Yan seemed to have not heard it clearly, and he whispered and flew up from the stern of the boat.
Tang Ning said it again.
It flew up and down, left and right, and flew around her for a long time.
Tang Ning asked it to go around and was dizzy and almost unsteady: "I asked you to find monsters and see what I do..." Before he finished speaking, Tang Ning paused, his face slowly looked ugly.
Gulugulu.
A cheerful sound came from the blue flames.
It stopped in front of her, and she had no eyebrows, but she still had to wink and look disgusted. It seemed to be saying, "You, monster? Humph, it's impossible!"
In a blink of an eye, Ayan flew over Tangning and flew backwards.
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around when he suddenly felt a strange force coming from his back. He staggered under her feet, and she fell into the water with a "thump" sound.
