Chapter 008: Drunken Dreams and Death (Eight)

Cough, he must be foolish to hide here waiting for you to catch him! Didn't you see that the doors and windows are all open? He must have escaped long ago! Let's go, pursue in this direction, it must be correct!

At this moment, Eleven suddenly raised his hand and extinguished the oil lamp on the wall

The wine cellar was suddenly engulfed in darkness

Another person remarked: "No need to say more, with such skills, only Han Tianyao can accomplish this"

This wine cellar is not concealed; if someone enters the room to take a look, it would be easy to discover that there are people hidden here

Xiao Long'er stood in the pitch-black cellar, not daring to breathe, a chilling sensation creeping up her spine, while cold sweat trickled down her forehead

She quickly stuffed two full wine bags into the back of her pouch, then picked up the astonished tabby cat staring at the flames and placed it in the front of the pouch. With it slung over her shoulder, she hurriedly made her way to the door

Outside, exclamations of surprise have already been heard, clearly indicating that the two corpses have been discovered

Little Long'er hurriedly followed, "Madam Eleven, wait for me..."

But I heard Eleven sigh and say: "I wish to die drunk, but I do not want to be burned to death"

Xiao Long'er said: "My parents have both passed away, and I have come to seek refuge with my grandfather and uncle... Moreover, there are wolves in this mountain, where can I hide?"

A fleeting light passes by in a daze, the voices of people gradually fade, yet the crackling sound of wooden objects burning begins to emerge

She hurriedly ran out and closely followed by Eleven's side

Xiao Long'er tightly clutched her collar, and although Shi Yi was determined to ignore her, he could not bring himself to push her away harshly

All that could be heard was someone saying: "What is going on here?"

The quick and awkward indeed resembles a dog, a dog without a home

Outside the cellar, flames have already begun to rise vigorously

The wolf let out a howl as it was kicked, rolling over twice in the wild grass before immediately fleeing away

Little Long'er was left in the wine cellar, yet she was even more astonished than the tabby cat, and after a while, she exclaimed: "Madam Eleven, wait for me!"

Then you should go back and find them

Eleven said: "I have already left the other courtyard, and those people may not even be interested in pursuing an insignificant girl like you. You can hide anywhere; wait until dawn to seek refuge with relatives!"

Xiao Long'er could not help but cry, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed: "My grandfather is still inside... My uncle and Uncle Chen, Uncle Jing, they are also inside..."

Fortunately, the Qiu Yan Pavilion is located in a remote area, and the fire has not yet spread. Relying on her lightness of body and taking advantage of the cover of night, Shi Yi was finally able to retreat with her safely.

On the 11th, I indeed saw a pair of green, glowing eyes hidden among the bushes, yet they were far more terrifying than the green eyes of a tabby cat

Little Long'er has already exclaimed: "Wolf, wolf!"

Oh, don't be afraid, it's a dog

You are overthinking it; where is the wolf?

But as they gazed longingly at the vibrant flower-filled courtyard, it had already been completely engulfed by the raging flames

Then hurry in and search

Eleven has turned and is seeking a path down the mountain

After the dawn, those magnificent and elegant buildings, along with the people above and below who harbor selfish intentions or good will, will turn to ashes, silently disappearing with the wind

Before the conversation could finish, the tabby cat, which had been restless in the bag and seemed eager to jump out, tensed up and arched its back, its eyes fixed on a thicket, letting out a low growl

She leaped into the air and delivered a flying kick at the moment the wolf lunged to attack her

After just a cup of tea's time, Eleven had already brought Xiao Long'er to a grove outside the Huanong Courtyard.

Xiao Long'er was astonished
