Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 571: Fiery Red

When she was still young, there was another time when the sun was setting and the sky was filled with sunset glow. She and Wu Xunsheng were tired of playing in the wild, so they rested while looking at the sunset glow. Wu Xunsheng asked her if she liked the sunset glow that was particularly red, and she said she didn't know. He asked her, "Don't you think it's beautiful?" She said it depends on how red it is. Sometimes she thinks the sunset glow that is particularly red is beautiful, and sometimes she doesn't. Wu Xunsheng said he likes the sunset glow that is particularly red, and he thinks it's beautiful no matter what color it is. She said she doesn't think it's beautiful when it's as red as if the sky is bleeding.

It was also on this day that after she said that sentence and Wu Xunsheng asked another question, she saw bloodstains again - this time on Wang Qi's clothes.

Twice, when the sky was filled with sunset glow, he saw bloodstains on other people's clothes. No wonder Tie Hongyan would sometimes associate the sunset with bloodstains after that.

Time flies, taking away the days when the sky is filled with sunsets one after another, and many years have passed like this. One day when she grew up, Tian Wen told her that the sunset was "very beautiful". She looked at the sky and said "hmm", then looked up at the sky again after walking a few steps, thinking a lot. She didn't say anything after that, but looked at the road and the sky, as if the sunset recorded a lot of the past and also called her future - as early as the two times when she saw bloodstains when she was a child, she couldn't help but think of the horrific scenes she had seen earlier, which undoubtedly made her certain beliefs more firm at that time. That belief not only concerns her when she was a child, but also her when she grew up, not only about her who looked up at the sky from time to time today, but also about her who will grope forward on the long road in the future.

Tian Wen saw her looking up at the sky from time to time and seemed to be lost in thought. He thought it was a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "We'll be there soon."

His words pulled Tie Hongyan out of her thoughts. She looked at the woods ahead and asked, "Is that the woods ahead?"

Tian Wen said: "Yes. I feel a little sorry for letting the young patriarch go for so long."

Tie Hongyan had been lost in thought while watching the sunset, and hadn't noticed the passage of time. She felt that she and Tian Wen hadn't walked for long when they saw the place he mentioned, so she said, "It doesn't feel like a long time, we're almost there in the blink of an eye."

When Tian Wen heard her say this, he was secretly delighted at first, thinking that it was a good thing that she didn't feel that time was passing slowly when she was walking with him, but he changed his mind and realized that the reason why she didn't feel that time was passing slowly was obviously because she was lost in thought, not because she didn't feel that time was passing slowly when she was walking with him. Despite this, he still said, "It's good that you don't feel that time is passing slowly."

The two soon entered the woods. Tian Wen brought Tie Hongyan to a patch of blooming flowers and pointed at them, saying, "Young Patriarch, this is it. The thing planted in the soil that I just mentioned is this kind of flower."

Tie Hongyan looked down and saw that the flowers were the Fiery Rose. Although the Fiery Rose in the woods was not as lush as those in the wild, it was also a fiery red, and each one showed the color of life. Looking at this fiery red, Tie Hongyan couldn't help but think of the wild, and the scenes related to the Fiery Rose, but she quickly collected her thoughts and looked at Tian Wen.

Tian Wen continued, "What I want to ask you for help with is related to this flower."
