Ah Chang

Chapter 8 Burning

Qi Yun likes women, but she will never be a woman like A Chang.

She likes more delicate and plump flowers, such as hibiscus, but A Chang is slender and thin, as thin as a piece of paper, like duckweed swaying in the wind.

There is always a layer of worry on A Chang's face, even when she smiles. Her most common expression is to squeeze her lips tightly. The "mole" will also wrinkle accordingly, and all expressions will become more vivid and pitiful.

To be vigilant and cautious everywhere, and to be submissive everywhere seems to be the habit this woman relies on for survival.

Qi Yun felt that such a woman was bland and tasteless.

"If Ma'am is willing, why bother crying?"

When Qi Yun stopped, Ah Shang's tears were still falling, she knew that she had messed up again, she thought she could do well.

All is silent, the rain beats the eaves, and the wick of the candle twitches.

A Chang listened to the rain outside the house and thought again, if the rain could wash away everything, such a cowardly and incompetent self... What kind of excuses should I make for myself, and what should I blame for everything, she I don't understand anymore.

Qi Yun said that it was getting late and she should go, and she was talking about herself.

She had decided to leave at night, and A Chang's arrival obviously delayed her plan, but she was going to leave after all.

"Your husband with peculiar habits won't live long anyway..." Qi Yun casually picked up the "collection" of the man beside him, and said casually: "Madam should be happy."

The man may not live long, but she can't get anything.

"Miss Yun...you want me..."

A Chang made the last effort with tears in her eyes, Qi Yun turned the plaything in her hand and looked at her with interest: "Madam is so obedient, I am really curious..." She moved closer to see clearly A Chang's eyes: "If that man asks Madam to kill me, Madam will do it too?"

A Chang's eyes flickered, panicked:

"I......"

Qi Yun didn't intend to listen to her explanation, but only drew a bloody opening on her fingertip with a short dagger, and the bright red blood oozed from her fingertip. The messy and wrinkled skirt was smudged with scarlet red.

"He just wants to see this. Whose blood is not blood? People who are dying, why should they be so serious?" Qi Yun turned around and wrapped his hands, his tone has returned to indifference: "Madam should go."

A Chang stared blankly at the red color on the skirt, she seemed to be able to smell Qi Yun's blood from it, she pursed her lips and stood up, said "thank you" tremblingly, and then said again: "I'm sorry" .

When the two of them brushed each other, the fragrance on Ah Chang's body was gradually fading away. Qi Yun watched the woman's back, and watched her walk into the rain, thin and thin, like duckweed blown by the wind and rain.

Qi Yun followed and was about to leave, but suddenly heard A-Shang's cry from the rain, she chased it out to see, A-Shang was sitting paralyzed in the rain, looking terrified at the room where the man was.

The man's house caught fire, and the raging fire burned violently in the rain.

It was still a bit late, and those people came.

When Qi Yun knew something was wrong, a man in black suddenly attacked from above the roof, she dodged sideways, and hugged Ah Chang.

A Chang was obviously frightened and lost his mind. Just as Qi Yun put her in a safe place, several men in black attacked her one after another. The men in black each held sharp knives. After several fights, the wound on Qi Yun's arm opened again, and blood oozes under the washing of the rain.

"Hand over the things!"

The man in black yelled aggressively at Qi Yun, but Qi Yun, who was surrounded, showed no fear at all. She looked at the gray moon in the rain, and even smiled.

"What about my stuff?"

"What are you?!"

Qi Yun raised his eyebrows and turned his pupils behind them. Those sharp eyes shone coldly in the rain. The man in black felt a dangerous aura coming from behind him. When he turned his head, he was blinded by a beam of cold light. "Boom", the leader of the men in black has collapsed in the rain.

"My sword."

Qi Yun caressed the sword in his hand, blood was dripping from the sword, bright red and warm, it had just been cut from a person's throat.

"Wh... when!"

Those people were obviously frightened, and when they turned around in astonishment, they saw another woman standing under the moon. The woman was wearing a blue shirt, her hair was pulled back, and her eyes were serious, like a green bamboo in the rain.

"My lord, I'm late."

The woman lowered her eyelashes and bowed respectfully to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun turned the sword in his hand and wiped away the blood: "It's not too late, I'll leave the rest to you."

As soon as her words fell, there was a scream from the black-clothed crowd. Qi Yun raised his eyebrows and watched with enjoyment, watching the bright red blood bloom into gorgeous flowers in the rain.

The burning house in the rain made the sound of cracking, Qi Yun thought of A-Shang only then, she turned her eyes to see that A-Shang was no longer where she was just now.

That thin and thin figure appeared in the firelight, and the scorched beams of the house kept collapsing and fell beside A Chang. She dodged in fear and desperately searched for something in it.

Qi Yun knew that she was looking for that man.

"Pavilion Master." The woman in blue came over and replied, "It's all settled."

"Um."

Qi Yun didn't turn around to confirm, she believed in the woman's strength, the only sound left in the noisy courtyard just now was the sound of rain and the crackling of houses burning in the rain.

"Lord."

The woman in the green shirt followed Qi Yun's gaze and saw A Shang who was struggling to find in the fire. She asked Qi Yun if he needed help, and Qi Yun shook his head.

"Look."

Qi Yun's voice was cold, she put herself out of the matter, as if she was watching a play.

She once gave A-Shang a chance, and even used some thoughts to attract the man's attention. She expected that the man would do something, and she thought she could use this to make A-Shang give up. ".

"Foolishness".

The man could have died more happily, perhaps Ah Chang could continue to live in this house, even though he was lonely, he still had a place to live.

But in the end, all of this is still attributed to the cause and effect it should have.

The man asked for trouble because of his evil thoughts, was seriously ill and was burned by the fire, and in the end he couldn't even leave his body.

This is retribution.

Qi Yun felt that some people in this world were destined to die.

As for A Chang, everything is her own choice.

"Let's go."

Qi Yun leaped up to the eaves, raindrops were hanging in her eyelashes, she looked at the corpses all over the place, the mess in the yard, the woody incense tree reflected the fire on one side, and was immersed in the dark rain on the other side, there was a collapse not far away The voice of Ah Chang disappeared.

"Pavilion Master, what to do with these corpses?"

"Burn them all."

"Where is that woman?"

The rain still didn't stop, the fire spread in the rain, climbed up the woody plant, and burned everything sinful in the courtyard.

A Chang never thought about what life would be like without her husband.

A Chang often thinks, if the rain can wash everything away, it will be fine.
