The fire was burning fiercely, and you could see the fire rising into the sky through the high wall. Almost no one could get close to it. Although the wall isolated this forbidden area, it could not isolate the fire.

When Shen Qingjiu arrived, she saw Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu standing on the high wall, looking at the fire behind the high wall. To her, the wall was actually not too high, so she jumped up.

He jumped up the high wall.

Behind the high wall are all weeds. In fact, it can easily catch fire. However, over the years, everything has been peaceful and there has not been any fire incident. Today, under the blue sky and white sun, the weeds caught fire and destroyed all the buildings.

Everything was burned to the ground, nothing was left, only ashes were left, and they dispersed when the wind blew.

Shen Qingjiu turned to look at Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu. She wanted to say something, but she found that at this moment, she didn't know what to say to comfort their hearts. It seemed that nothing could be said.

is wrong.

The firelight reflected in Bai Ruyu's eyes, and her eyes seemed to turn red. After a long while, Bai Ruyu said: "It doesn't matter if you burn it. The old man likes to be clean and tidy. If such a piece of grass grows here, if

He is still alive, so he has already picked up the sickle to cut it, focus on vegetables, and build a fish pond to raise fish and so on. Now that he has burned it, it saves trouble."

However, her eyes that were illuminated by the fire were clearly flashing with tears. The fire didn't seem to be burning weeds, but rather like it was burning in her heart. I'm afraid there would be no way for a long time.

It went out.

Shen Qingjiu spoke softly and said: "Bai Ruyu, although this place is burned down, the place is still there and will always exist."

Bai Ruyu glanced at her with a smile and said: "Yes, you are right, the place is still there, this place will not disappear, how could it disappear, it will stay here forever, but...but, people

It will disappear, smelly wood, why did the old man die? Why did he die? He didn’t even say a word to me, so I died.”

As she spoke, her tears fell like broken beads, turning around, burying her head in Shao Siyu's arms, and started crying.

Shao Siyu stood still, letting her cry against him. He raised his hand and patted her back gently, saying: "People are all mortal. Uncle Shen is a human being. Even if he lives longer, he will only live a long life."

In a hundred years, he will return to dust. Even if you don't fall into deep sleep, he will die. Probably, he doesn't want you to see him die, so while he is still alive, let you

Fall asleep, so you don't have to watch him die."

Bai Ruyu still cried non-stop and said: "But this way I won't be able to see him for the last time. He died alone like this. I should be by his side, but I fell asleep instead.

He died alone. He would be lonely. When walking on the Road to the Underworld, he would be afraid of the darkness. The old man was such a stingy person, and he would light a candle at night. He was obviously afraid of the dark.

.”

The more she cried, the more excited she became, and the louder she cried. Tears fell down and wet Shao Siyu's clothes. However, Shao Siyu didn't care at all. He hugged Bai Ruyu gently,

Shen Qingjiu comforted her softly. Shen Qingjiu had never heard Shao Siyu speak like this.

In Shen Qingjiu's impression, Shao Siyu was cold, and there was no warmth when he spoke. It seemed that he never had any changes in mood. But today, now, she discovered that Shao Siyu was not...

The side that people know is that it turns out that Shao Siyu can also comfort others very gently, and he can also speak very gently and gently.

There are only weeds behind the high wall, and nothing else. Therefore, this fire will not last for a long time, because the weeds will eventually burn out, when the last weeds are burned to ashes.

After that, the fire also went out. In the final analysis, the only people hurt by this fire were Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu.

The fire went out, and Bai Ruyu was tired from crying. When the fire went out, the sky also darkened. It was logical that Bai Ruyu fell asleep when the sun went down.

Shao Siyu carried Bai Ruyu back to the room, and Shen Qingjiu asked the others to get off work first. She waited here until there were no more sparks, then turned back to the lobby of Tai Chi Building and poured two glasses of wine on the counter.

, and then sat down to wait for tonight's guests, because it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"So, how could a fire break out for no reason? Did someone do it intentionally?"

All Shen Qingjiu could think about was the fire in the afternoon, which was really an unknown fire.

Before she could figure it out, Zhou Nuo pushed open the door of Tai Chi Tower and came to her on time and said, "Shen Qingjiu, I'm here. Hey, you don't look good. Are you sick?"

Shen Qingjiu frowned and looked over, remembering what Zhou Nuo said in the morning that he would live in Taiji Building, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, maybe it's because I didn't sleep last night."

While speaking, she pushed the two glasses of wine forward and said, "There are two glasses of wine in the hall, one glass of clear wine and one glass of turbid wine. Guests are welcome to taste the wine."

Zhou Nuo did not go to get the cup, but said hesitantly: "Shen Qingjiu, I am not an adult yet. The teacher said that underage people are not allowed to drink."

That seems to be the case.

Shen Qingjiu stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said: "But, if you don't drink, you can't stay in Taiji Building, so you'd better drink, just take a small sip, don't drink too much, there should be no problem. After drinking,

Tell me what the wine tastes like."

Zhou Nuo hesitated for a moment, then he picked up the glass of turbid wine, held his nose and took a sip. When the sip of wine entered his mouth, Zhou Nuo's expression suddenly brightened, and he was delighted.

Said: "Why is this wine so sweet? It's like juice. Well... not only the taste of juice, but also the aroma of glutinous rice. Take a sip and the sweet aftertaste will be endless. It's so delicious."

Shen Qingjiu also looked at him curiously and said, "First time."

Zhou Nuo didn't understand why and said, "What's the first time?"

Shen Qingjiu continued: "This is the first time someone took a sip of maojiu and told me that the wine is sweet. Grandma said that there is only one kind of person who can taste the sweetness of maojiu after drinking it."

Zhou Nuo chased and asked: "What kind of person is he?"

"yes……"

Before Shen Qingjiu could say anything, he heard the sound of a sudden brake. The door of Tai Chi Tower was pushed open from the outside again, and a group of people came in, and the leader was Bai Bai who left two days ago.

Jingjing.

Seeing her walking in, Shen Qingjiu knew that something bad was going to happen, and whispered to Zhou Nuo: "Come to my place first, I will send her away later, and then take you back to your place."

Go to the room."

Zhou Nuo obediently walked around the counter, stood next to Shen Qingjiu, and whispered to her: "Don't forget, give me Xiao Le. I haven't seen him for a whole day. I'm fine."

I miss him, how is he, is he still stable?"

Xiao Le is still in his room, and he doesn't know if he is awake now. Therefore, Shen Qingjiu has no way to answer Zhou Nuo's question.

Shen Qingjiu didn't have time to answer his words. She first poured another glass of turbid wine, then looked at Bai Jingjing and others who came in with a smile, and said, "Welcome."

The person who came up to talk to Shen Qingjiu was not Bai Jingjing, but a man in colorful clothes with silver-rimmed eyes who was following Bai Jingjing. She noticed that the man also had an orchid finger raised and walked away.

When starting up, he took one step at a time and said in a high voice: "We have six people who want to stay in Tai Chi Building. Miss Bai wants to live in a separate room and two more rooms. Please arrange it."

Shen Qingjiu pushed the wine in front of him forward and said, "We will discuss who will share a room with whom, and then we will select a representative to come up and drink."

The man glanced at the wine on the counter with disdain and said, "If this low-quality wine hurts Miss Bai's throat, can you afford to pay for it?"

Bad wine?

Shen Qingjiu tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "The rules of Tai Chi Tower are to drink before checking in. Those who do not follow the rules of Tai Chi Tower are not allowed to stay in Tai Chi Tower. If you don't want to drink, then please

Go back."

Zhou Nuo, who was standing next to her, looked at her in surprise when he heard Shen Qingjiu speak like this. This was the first time he heard Shen Qingjiu speak like this. The coldness and disgust in her tone were not concealed at all.

, for these people in front of her, she probably really didn’t want them to stay in Tai Chi Building.

The man still wanted to speak, but Bai Jingjing, who was standing behind him, spoke first and said, "Ah Huan, act according to her rules."

The person who was called Ah Huan immediately changed her face and said with a smile on her face: "Okay, Miss Bai."

Then, he glanced at the two glasses of wine in front of him, stretched out his hand to pick up one of the glasses of sake, and took a small sip to drink a little bit of it. His two slender eyebrows were about to frown, and his face was filled with disgust.

Said: "What kind of wine is this? It's sour. I'm going to call you to complain. You're giving your guests low-quality fake wine and you're trying to make money or kill them."

Shen Qingjiu took a deep breath and said: "First floor, Great Heat, please wait, next person."

After saying that, she changed a glass of sake and placed it on the counter.

The next person who came up was a girl. She looked about twenty-four or five years old. She was gentle and quiet. She wore a pair of thick glasses. Before drinking, she said: "I

I’m not very good at drinking, so please don’t blame me if I made a mistake.”

A Le stood aside and glanced at her, sneering: "Isn't it just a cup of shoddy wine? Are you being so careful to embarrass me?"

Shen Qingjiu really wanted to throw him out, but she couldn't do that. Holding back her anger, she softly said to the girl who came up: "It doesn't matter, follow the taste you tasted, and then taste the real thing."

Just tell me the taste and that’s it.”

The girl smiled slightly and reached out to get the wine. However, before her hand touched the wine glass, there was a sudden chaotic sound outside, and a person stumbled in. Several people standing in the lobby quickly moved to the side.

Open, the man also fell to the front of the counter.

This man's face was covered with blood, and he covered his other arm with one hand. He raised his head and glanced at Shen Qingjiu. Although his face was covered with blood, his eyes were very bright, with a gleam of light.

After looking at Shen Qingjiu, his eyes fell on the two glasses of wine placed on the counter.

"Don't let him drink!"

A high-pitched sound outside the door reached everyone's ears. However, it was too late to stop the drinking. The man had already grabbed a glass of turbid wine, drank it, and said to Shen Qingjiu: "It's bitter."
