Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1660 (One Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty) Smoke
Tie Hongyan took off Wu Xunsheng's coat in the sedan chair and said to Tie Jinjue, "Uncle, I'm not cold anymore. I want to return the coat to him."

Tie Jinjue took the clothes from Tie Hongyan and handed them to Wu Xunsheng.

Wu Xunsheng took the clothes and looked towards the small window of the sedan chair, and saw Tie Hongyan looking at him through the small window.

"Aren't you cold?" Wu Xunsheng asked deliberately in front of the two people carrying the sedan chair and Tie Jinjue, whom he did not completely trust.

Tie Hongyan nodded.

"Then I'll put it on." Wu Xunsheng said.

Tie Hongyan nodded again.

Wu Xunsheng put on his coat. While he was getting dressed, Tie Jinjue took the Phantom Tassel Spear from him.

Tie Hongyan felt more dizzy and closed his eyes in the sedan.

Before they had gone far, Tie Jinjue saw some people burning something ahead, which caused thick smoke. The road was narrow, and he was worried that the smoke would cause discomfort to Tie Hongyan, who had not yet recovered, so he pointed to another road and said to the people carrying the sedan chair, "Let's go this way."

Tie Hongyan seemed to have heard what Tie Jinjue said, but she was too sleepy to think about why he said that.

The group took another road. That road was very remote and no one usually passed by. Just when she thought she was about to fall asleep, Tie Hongyan was suddenly startled by a strange sound. She immediately looked out of the window to see that they were not taking the same road as before.

Tie Hongyan asked Tie Jinjue: "Uncle, we didn't pass by here when we came here, did we?"

Tie Jinjue said, "Well, this is another way. Some people were burning something over there just now, and the smoke was thick and heavy. You haven't recovered yet, so I was afraid that the smoke would make you uncomfortable, so I took this road. In fact, this road is not far, and it's about the same as that road."

Tie Hongyan was drowsy before, and she seemed to have drifted to another world during that time. After being startled by the strange sound, although she saw that she was not walking the same way as when she came, and asked Tie Jinjue questions, she still felt as if she had not returned to this world. Suddenly, she heard Tie Jinjue say that some people were burning things, and Tie Hongyan didn't know why she suddenly thought of the scene when Chen Lang was burned when he was a child.

That time, when Tie Jinjue took her away from the place where the blue-armored man was burned, he covered her mouth and nose with one hand and said, "This smell is not good for your health! Children will get sick easily if they breathe it in! Let's get out of here!"

That incident in her childhood had a profound impact on Tie Hongyan, and the scars it left in her heart still affect her many years later.

Sometimes, she would be reminded of those scenes by something she didn't know what happened. She witnessed too much cruelty in the following years, but those things did not dilute the trauma left in her heart by her previous experiences. Instead, they continued to injure her.

At this moment, although Tie Hongyan didn't think that anyone would burn the blue-armored man near this place, she suddenly felt a little nervous.

If it were normal times, she might not have suddenly thought of burning the blue-armored man just because she heard Tie Jinjue mention burning things, but her situation was a little different as she had not yet recovered from her injury. In addition, the strange sound she heard before reminded her of the blue-armored man's desperate and helpless cry before his death. Tie Hongyan's heart clenched, and she suddenly asked Tie Jinjue: "What were those people burning just now?"
