Chapter 16 The Chasing Butterfly and the Sea of Fire
The butterfly's wings were shockingly red, and one glance gave a poisonous illusion, as if she was wearing a gorgeous and coquettish red dress.
While it was fluttering its wings, Liu Yichun extinguished the red candle, then went to open the window, and the medicinal fragrance that was still floating just now slowly dissipated in the room.
A group of people stared intently at the red butterfly.Liu Yichun turned around and found a small cage made of bamboo strips, no more than the size of a palm.
He handed the small cage to Jiang Yibei, "When you don't need to chase the butterfly, you can keep it in this special cage, but the butterfly will not die for three months. Remember to feed it with freshly picked flowers every day, preferably with dew."
Jiang Yibei took the cage and muttered, "It's really troublesome."
As soon as the words fell, the butterfly fluttered its wings and flew away.It walked around the house lightly, and then flew out through the open window.
Jiang Yibei and Zhan An chased after him together.
Shen You turned around and handed Liu Yichun a badge, saying, "Mr. Trouble, go to the Jiazi Inn and find the shopkeeper. Use this badge as a proof and ask him to call some people just in case. When we get there, we will send a signal to let them Converge in the past."
After all, he also jumped out of the window.
According to the investigation in the past two days, there are not a few people who have sneaked into Buran City in the past few years.Shen You is a cautious person who is used to planning ahead. In case something unexpected happens, it is always good to have backup.
Jiang Yibei and Zhan An followed the chasing butterfly all the way, the red butterfly's wings glowed faintly in the dark.It didn't fly fast, so Shen You quickly caught up with them.
These few people knew very well that the person who sneaked into Buran City was aiming at that blind man.But now he has extended his hands to all aspects of Buran City, from ordinary people like peddler porters to those who register for Buran City to enter the city.
It is absolutely impossible for them to withdraw all their personnel just because they caught the blind man.
The spider's web is already open, how can it be closed just because it caught today's lunch?Keep this thing, maybe it will be used in thousands of ways in the future.Everyone understands this truth.
So the best result is to kill the spiders on the web in one fell swoop, and then pick the web.
As for the caught butterfly on the spider web, whether it can be saved or not is the next best thing.
This is also the root cause of several people chasing and coming together.After all, among the three people, Shen You may be the one who has the deepest personal relationship with the blind man.Even Jiang Yibei has only known the blind man for a few days, so calling him a close friend is considered flattering.
Butterfly walked forward all the way, passing through most of Buran City, and flew out of the city gate.
Several people flew out from the city gate together.It was already late at night, and the gates of Buran City had been completely closed.Fortunately, several people's Qinggong skills are not bad, so nothing went wrong.
Probably because the speed of the chase was slow, Zhan An got a little bored, so he took the initiative to say, "We are idle on the road, so whoever can tell me, what is the origin of that Mr. Ge?"
Jiang Yibei said: "You ask me, who do I ask? I thought he was from the Xuanji Pavilion, but I didn't expect to hear a man surnamed Yao call him cousin yesterday."
Zhan An: "I had a speculation, but if you say it like this, my speculation is untenable. Speaking of Mr. Shen, please give me an opinion. Who do you think that person is?"
After Zhan An finished speaking, he and Jiang Yibei waited for Shen You to answer their questions.
What they were going around was just digging a hole for Shen You, just waiting for Shen You to speak.
The only thing to blame is that Shen You is too sincere, he is very close and distant inside and out.Anyone who was a little familiar with him could tell that he had a personal relationship with the blind man.
Shen You didn't answer the two people's words at all, but stared into the distance and said, "Look over there."
Jiang Yibei and Zhan An raised their eyes and saw a large mass of warm yellow in the night, and could vaguely see billowing thick smoke.
It's firelight.
Because the distance is too far, only a large group can be seen.If you look at it from a close distance, I'm afraid it has already been burned into a sea of flames.
Zhan An said sarcastic words, "Could it be that who did it?"
Because the person who needs to be caught has been caught.Now it's time to evacuate, so first burn the place where I stayed before, so as not to leave any clues to cause trouble for myself.
Jiang Yibei's heart sank, and he said, "No way, I saw that kid didn't want the blind man's life yesterday."But I began to care about it in my heart.
If this group of people really wanted to evacuate before setting the fire, was the blind man taken away by them, or was he killed and his body buried in the flames?
The two had known each other for a short time, although it was far from being intimate, but if the blind man really died like this, there would always be regrets.Now my heart is naturally inexplicably worried.
On the other hand, Shen You's already dull face seemed to be covered with frost, and it became so cold that he couldn't look at it.
But the red butterfly didn't know what had happened, it was only chasing the scent of the medicine, and it still walked straight to the place where the flames were soaring.
Seeing the flames getting closer and closer, and the three people in the back also having their own thoughts, Zhan An thought that if the group of people wanted to withdraw, they might not have gone far.Moreover, only the leaders should be withdrawn.The "nails" in Buran City are still there, as long as they want to come back one day, they can be awakened at any time.
Jiang Yibei couldn't help but start planning to collect the blind man's body in his heart. If he couldn't save the whole body, he would give someone a place to bury his ashes, and he would be worthy of getting acquainted.
As for Shen You, his face just became darker when he saw it.I can't see anything.
When they were in front of the fire, they realized that the burning place was not a deep mountain or forest at all, but a small village.Most of the houses in the village are made of wood, and the whole village is almost in flames at the moment.
The red butterfly was about to fly into the sea of fire regardless.It's not like moths rushing to the flame, but the end of the scent it's looking for is in this sea of flames.
Jiang Yibei chased after two steps quickly, caught the chasing butterfly with one hand, and locked it into the bamboo cage Liu Yichun gave him.
Shen You didn't stop at all, and was about to go directly into the sea of flames - Ge Di's father had been kind to him, so he couldn't just watch this bloodline cut off here.
Zhan An tried to stop him, but he didn't.His fingers only hooked the corner of the man's robe, and before he could grab it with all his strength, the man had already entered the depths of the fire.
Zhan An: "..."
Jiang Yibei came over and patted him on the shoulder, commenting, "The poor little abandoned one."
Zhan An said with a smile: "We are each other, you little widows who want to be widows."
Jiang Yibei: "..."
At any rate, Jiang Yibei lost his self-restraint, and didn't directly punch this person.Deliberately changed a serious face, and said, "If those people really escaped, they probably wouldn't be able to escape far. You can search around. I'll go and bring Shen You back. If possible, I'll give that blind man a corpse."
Zhan An naturally nodded in agreement.So the two split up and Zhan An took out the signal fireworks to inform the people in the city of the specific location.
Jiang Yibei made some preparations—actually, all he could do was mental preparation—and then went into the burning fire to find Shen You.
The village was full of arrogant flames licking the houses, Jiang Yibei just walked on the road, and already felt his skin was burning.
Shen You had long since disappeared, and the blind man's bones were nowhere to be found.I was thinking about where to start searching, but suddenly found other people in the firelight.
