Chapter 291
Adi returned to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion as quickly as possible. The front yard and the atrium were both fine. Only the backyard was on fire, to be precise, the yard where Li Qingyou lived.
Seeing the smoke billowing in front of him and the fire raging into the sky, my brother's blood ran cold. He was about to rush in with his eyes split open, but was hugged tightly by the servants and servants beside him.
"Let me go in." Adi roared and struggled hard, but he was alone. Two of the servants held their arms, two held their legs, and one held him from behind. He didn't want to die.
Let him take a step inside.
"My lord, water and fire are ruthless. This fire has been burning for a while, and the people inside have been there for a long time... Your Majesty went in at this time with no other intention except to die."
"Sir, take care of yourself."
"Sir, if Miss Li has a spirit in heaven, I don't want you to die because of her..."
Adi's eyes were red, and regrets were rolling in his chest. He was obviously fine at noon, and his sister Qingyou even cooked food for him. Little did he know that only a few hours later, we would be separated forever.
"No..." Adi roared angrily, crawling on the ground, crying and grabbing the ground with his head.
He hadn't yet accomplished his great cause, hadn't had time to give her a status, or even had time to tell her that he liked her. How could she just leave like this?
Scenes of the past flashed through his mind, and Adi was extremely sad, crying and unable to breathe, his vision went black and he fell down.
The servants around him screamed and ran over, hurriedly helped him up and sent him back to rest.
There was chaos in the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion, and at the same time, Princess Duanyang raised the corners of her lips after listening to the information, and the viciousness in her eyes was clearly visible, "Bitch, if you dare to murder this princess, she will die."
Adi woke up after being unconscious for half an hour. Regardless of the dissuasion of the doctor and servants, he stumbled back to the courtyard where Li Qingyou lived.
The fire has been gradually extinguished, and there are ruins everywhere. The smell of burning fills the nose, and someone found a body inside.
The corpse had been burned to charcoal, and it was impossible to tell who it was. The only thing that could be distinguished from the skeleton was that it was a woman, about the same height as Li Qingyou, and a servant took out a white jade hairpin from it.
Adi's eyes went dark again. Although he had been mentally prepared before, when he saw the hosta, he still felt a heartbreaking pain.
He bought this hairpin for her with the money he earned from copying books. Now that the hairpin is still there and the lady has passed away, Adi stamps his feet and beats his chest, filled with regret.
"Check for me, why did it catch fire? Check hard for me. If you can't find out, I will let all of you be buried with you." Adi's eyes were red and he looked like a madman.
Every one of his subordinates was trembling with fear and did not dare to express his anger.
As night fell, Adi kicked everyone out and sat alone in the yard, looking at the burned-out house. Just during the day, he and Sister Qingyou were talking and laughing inside, but in the blink of an eye, they were separated forever.
.
"Are you really jealous of beauty?" Adi sat on the ground slumped, looking up at the stars. Next to him was the charred corpse, "No, I was the one who harmed you. If I hadn't insisted on keeping you,
Maybe something like this wouldn’t happen, and it’s all my fault…”
I cried from dusk until late at night. My eyes were already dry, swollen and sore, and my voice was already hoarse. All that was left was howling.
In the dead of night, the people are quiet, the howling is sad, the wind is rustling, it's like being haunted.
Perhaps God sensed his sadness, and it started to rain, from a drizzle at first to a torrential rain, and then to sporadic light rain.
The servants in the mansion were all silent, wondering whether this unprecedented Six-Yuan Number One Scholar was crazy.
Adi is not crazy, but he is getting close to it. Countless regrets almost tortured him crazy, so much so that he had auditory hallucinations.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Is anyone there?"
"Help!"
It was late at night, it was windy and rainy, and ordinary people would be so frightened that they would run away in such a situation.
Adi didn't. Li Qingyou left and left him in such a decisive way. At this moment, he was completely dejected. Let alone a ghost, he had nothing to fear even if Yama came to seek his life.
The worst case scenario is to take him away together, but you can still go down to accompany his sister Qingyou.
Thinking like this suddenly gave rise to a glimmer of hope. If he really encounters a ghost, maybe this ghost is easy to talk to and can convey messages between him and Sister Qingyou.
At this moment, Adi was confused. He followed the sound to a well and said hoarsely to the well: "Hey kid, if you are willing to promise me one thing, send a message to Sister Qingyou in the underworld for me.
I will build a temple for you and build a memorial tablet for your longevity."
Under the well, "..."
"If you refuse to agree to me, I will find the Archmage to drive you to pieces."
"Just relax, what I ask for is just a piece of cake for you, and it won't be difficult for you at all. What do you think?"
"In this way, both you and I will be complete..."
Under the well, I will treat you like a fairy.
"Adi, Li Zhaodi, Chu Xiwei, you little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you rescue your sister and me?" The person in the well was furious, and his hoarse voice was like a ghost howling. It was not much better than Adi, but he could still hear it.
My brother was shaking with excitement.
The person below must be his sister Qingyou. Others only know him as Adi or Li Zhaodi. Not many people really know the name Chu Xiwei.
"Sister?" Adi carefully picked up the edge of the well and spoke, his hoarse voice carrying an uncontrollable trembling, "Is that you?"
There was no sound from the well. The joy that Adi had finally felt disappeared in an instant and turned into a huge fear. He hurriedly shouted to the servants outside the yard, "Quickly, salvage this well."
Servants, "..."
Most of them are really crazy.
The servants gathered around, and some pointed out that it was a dry well. Someone was sitting on a barrel next to it, and someone was driving a rocker to lower the person down.
After struggling for a long time, we finally fished out the man from the well.
At first glance, the man looked gray and dusty. Since it had just rained, the man's head, face, and body were all covered in mud, and he couldn't tell his original appearance at all.
"Get out of the way." Adi rushed over and wiped the man's face with his sleeves. A servant next to him took a lantern and saw through the light that it was Li Qingyou.
For a moment, my withered heart was like wild grass blooming in spring, sprouting from the ground, and repeatedly ordered people to boil hot water and find a doctor.
Li Qingyou had already passed out. Adi ordered her to be carried to his bedroom, and then ordered two maids to bathe and change her clothes. During the whole process, he stayed there, with only a screen separating her.
Soon the doctor came and treated Li Qingyou. Fortunately, he was just overly frightened and had a cold. In addition, he had some scratches on his body, probably caused by falling to the bottom of the well.
