Qingyunxian

Chapter 43 Death in Life

Deng Changsheng looked at Liu Xun warily and directly pulled Yu Nianci away.

Deng Changsheng has a natural aversion to people from outside the village. Perhaps this has something to do with his nature.

Yu Nianci was dragged away by Deng Changsheng, and cried out, "Changsheng, you hurt me."

Deng Changsheng came back to his senses: "Xiaoci, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention."

"You seem to be worried today, Changsheng." Yu Nianci's face turned slightly red and she rubbed her wrist that was pinched.

Deng Changsheng looked confused when he heard this and shook his head, "It's okay, I just ate breakfast in a hurry."

"Ah, really?" Yu Nianci's eyes curved into crescents, "Next time, Changsheng, you must eat slowly!"

"Oh, it's getting late. I still have to help my mother run to the shop to get the cloth for embroidery today."

"Changsheng, I'm leaving first!"

After Yu Nianci left, Deng Changsheng clenched his fists. He made up his mind to go and remind his fellow tribesmen to be on guard against the fire that would happen in the evening.

Arriving at the guard post, Deng Changsheng said to a young soldier, "Brother Huan, can you help me call Chang Bo?"

The young man named Huan Ge saw that it was Deng Changsheng and waved his hands impatiently, "Uncle Chang is busy dealing with things, don't make trouble, little guy."

"I have something important to tell you, really!" Deng Changsheng looked anxious and tried to force his way in.

Deng Hao used the hilt of his sword to separate Deng Changsheng, his expression slightly unhappy.

How could a descendant of a side branch shout and yell in front of him, a legitimate descendant of the eldest son?
Seeing that he couldn't get in, Deng Changsheng gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out.

Unable to find the person in charge of the village, he went to look for the immortals in heaven.

Since Deng Changsheng couldn't go to Deng Dazhou who was guarding the wind weasel, he prepared to go find Elder Deng Yuan.

A group of outsiders came to the village yesterday, and Elder Deng Yuan was said to be drinking with an old friend in the restaurant.

Deng Changsheng arrived at the restaurant and found Deng Yuan drunk as expected.

"Elder, Elder?" Deng Changsheng walked to Deng Yuan and called cautiously.

Deng Yuan was holding the wine jug and staring blankly. When he heard the voice, he looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"

There are many younger generations in the family, and Deng Yuan doesn't remember Deng Changsheng, who is not outstanding.

Deng Changsheng organized his words, swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "Elder, the bluestone lamps in the village are lit all night, is it possible..."

"Why are you hesitating so much? What exactly do you want to say?" Deng Yuan widened his eyes, moved closer to the little guy, and stared at his face.

Deng Changsheng was a little nervous and timid, hesitating, "Will there be a fire?"

"Haha, little guy, you think too much. The houses and wooden buildings in the village are specially made. There is no chance of fire." Deng Changsheng took a sip of wine. "Besides, there are military patrols, which makes it even more impossible."

But there was indeed a big fire tonight!
Deng Changsheng couldn't say this out loud, it was his secret.

Deng Yuan waved his hand impatiently, signaling Deng Changsheng not to disturb him while he was drinking.

Deng Changsheng had no choice but to leave, he gave up.

Since no one listens to him, he might as well avoid it on his own.

It’s just a fire. If you don’t sleep tonight, you can avoid the fire!
At night, Deng Changsheng was sitting on the steps taking a nap. He saw the warriors of his clan rushing past him, led by several leaders, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Did something big happen?

Deng Changsheng thought about it and decided not to follow.

He is just a descendant of a collateral family, and his status seems to be higher than that of ordinary people, but in fact it is not much higher.

After a while, Deng Changsheng saw a fire not far away and thought to himself, "It's really a fire!"

But then I thought, how could the fire start with so many warriors there?

Deng Changsheng was full of doubts and hurried towards the fire, ready to help put it out.

However, after walking less than ten meters, he saw flames all around, burning towards him with the wind. Deng Changsheng saw that the situation was not good and was about to turn around and run, but he was knocked to the ground by a piece of wood that fell from the burning wooden building next to him.

The flames licked and burned Deng Changsheng's body.

"Ah!" Deng Changsheng woke up again, sweating profusely, and it was still dark outside the window. He died again, this time still by fire!

Deng Changsheng didn't expect that he was supposed to put out the fire, but ended up not being able to escape, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He decided not to go put out the fire tonight, but to stay on the stone steps and call for others to put out the fire when he saw a fire.

Next, Deng Changsheng finished his breakfast as usual, and then met Yu Nianci and Liu Xun from outside the village. Then he slept in the house for the whole day, getting enough rest and waiting to prevent fire at night.

When groups of warriors from the clan passed by, Deng Changsheng looked in the direction they were going with sharp eyes, and then waited for the fire to start.

Soon, a fire appeared, and Deng Changsheng immediately shouted: "The fire is coming, the fire is coming!"

His shout startled many people. After hearing the shout, everyone hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out.

Seeing that there was a real fire, everyone quickly fetched water to put out the fire.

However, what horrified Deng Changsheng was that as soon as the villagers got close to the fire, flames would spew out of their seven orifices and they would be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

This is obviously not an ordinary flame!
Deng Changsheng was panic-stricken and immediately retreated, preparing to avoid the fire and wait for the Yunxian from the clan to come and put out the fire.

However, the wooden buildings were arranged in an arc shape, and this was the end of the arc. There was no way to retreat, and the only way out was blocked by the flames.

Deng Changsheng could only watch in despair as the flames surrounded him and finally burned himself.

Deng Changsheng opened his eyes, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. This was the third time, and it was even more difficult to deal with than the ferocious beast that year.

Fire?

Absolutely not!
Deng Changsheng thought of the strange flame and felt that things were not simple.

After meeting Yu Nianci, Deng Changsheng immediately went to find Deng Yuan. He could not tell the truth about his own secret and could only remind him indirectly. As a result, Deng Yuan still did not believe that the fire would happen.

Deng Changsheng could only sit on the stone steps in a daze for the entire afternoon.

When a large group of warriors passed by him, Deng Changsheng suddenly thought: "Where the fire started is where the warriors went. Is there any connection?"

Deng Changsheng simply followed. If there was no problem, he would stay at the entrance of the village. That way he would not be surrounded by the fire again!

If there is a problem, then find out what caused the fire.

Following the warriors to the wooden building used for receiving guests, Deng Changsheng saw Chang Bo kick the door open, and then the warriors rushed in and escorted some people out.

Deng Changsheng knew that these were outsiders who entered the village yesterday. Did they cause trouble?

After Deng Dazhou, Deng Yuan also came here.

"I want to know, what did you use to kill the wind weasel?"

Deng Yuan's eyes fell on Liu Xun, and Liu Xun began to disguise and perform.

Deng Changsheng's eyes widened: "Is it him?"

This was the outsider I met on the street this morning.

When Deng Dazhou ordered the arrest, Liu Xun said with a smile: "I underestimated Deng Family Yunxian."

Before he finished speaking, flames ignited around him.

Deng Changsheng almost cried out in surprise. That strange fire was actually created by Liu Xun.

Liu Xun set fire to the wooden building, and Deng Yuan used Yunfa to destroy the wooden building. For a while, it was unknown whether the outsider was alive or dead.

While Deng Changsheng was wondering, Liu Xun walked out from the ruins.

With a mocking look on his face, he said to Deng Yuan: "Turn around and take a look."

Deng Yuan turned around and fell to the ground strangely.

Deng Changsheng also turned around subconsciously, but he only had time to see a small turtle on its back before he lost his life.

"Am I dead again?"

Deng Changsheng sat up from the bed. He was not burned to death this time, so why did he die?
