Chapter 1 Wildfires
"Ahem, ahem!...Huh--!"
Accompanied by a violent heart-shaking cough, Xie Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Just then, Xie Chen could even feel that the extremely hot magma instantly wrapped and swallowed him up! All this was so real. The moment it fell into the magma, the flames burned the body, and in an instant, the body and soul turned into ashes.
The vision gradually became clear, and the heartbeat that was beating sharply due to cough gradually became smooth. Here is...
Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, green mountains and green trees, and the noon sunshine was warm in front of him, with the vague sound of water gurgling, and the birds and cicadas singing. Everything in front of him was extremely unfamiliar, but for no reason, she felt so familiar...
"Hiss-!" My body moved slightly, and a heart-wrenching feeling spread instantly.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Chen's heart thumped again, and his body and legs were now charred! A faint smell of flesh and flesh spread out and floated into his breath.
"What's wrong with me?" Xie Chen stared at the burning marks on his body in a daze. It shouldn't have fallen into the scorching magma that even steel can melt instantly, but how could there be only such a little burn?
"Brother Chen! You are not dead yet?!"
Suddenly, a somewhat sharp voice sounded from a distance with a little childishness. Although the sound contained strong surprise and excitement, the words... Xie Chen couldn't help but feel a little discouraged when he heard it. Isn't this nonsense? Can you still open your eyes when you die?!
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and a chubby little face appeared in Xie Chen's sight.
To use the word fat, it may be a bit indefinite. To be more precise, it should be round. The round head has a pair of big round eyes, two curved eyebrows, and the ends are downward, like two crescent moons. Below the round nose, a small mouth with a thick lips, and it is actually a round shape. The whole face looks very fleshy, and at first sight, people have the urge to squeeze hard.
"Brother Chen, are you okay? It's so good! You didn't even breathe just now, and I thought you, wuwu..."
Two downward curved eyebrows frowned together, and the fat on the face changed his expression, squeezed a pair of originally very round eyes into a **. Two drops of teardrops the size of soybeans crossed mountains and rivers, and rolled down with difficulty. Although they were crying, the face looked an unusual sense of joy.
"Damn, Xie Tuo! Why are you crying? I'm fine..." Xie Chen endured the pain and forced a smile, his head full of black lines. For some reason, he naturally called out the name of the young man who was like crying in front of him.
Xie Tuo, my cousin, the only blood of the second elder of the late family. Ten years ago, when the second elder Xie Zhiyuan and his wife were besieged and killed by dozens of roaring moon wolves while hunting in the Warcraft Mountains. Since then, Xie Tuo has been raised by his father and regarded him as his own. He is kind-hearted and can't speak. It can be said that this fat man speaks so uncontrollably...
Messages suddenly surged in Xie Chen's mind like a tide. In an instant, Xie Chen felt a headache splitting, as if his mind was about to be burst by this massive amount of information.
"Brother Chen?! What's wrong with you? Does the wound hurt? It's good if you know it hurts. If you die, you won't feel the pain. Hold on and I'll wipe it for you..."
Suddenly seeing Xie Chen's expression suddenly became ferocious, as if in great pain, the fat little fat Xie Tuo was immediately panicked. While talking nonsense, he was busy holding the towel that had just been soaked in the stream, and carefully wiping the burning area of Xie Chen's body. If Xie Chen hadn't had time to pay attention to what he said at this moment, he would have been angry to death even if he was not burned to death.
At this moment, the huge stream of information finally passed through Xie Chen's mind. But Xie Chen's expression froze, because since these messages appeared in his mind, he suddenly understood what was happening to him.
I...oh no, my soul actually possessed another person? And this person turned out to be a boy named Xie Chen...
Although the information flowed over, Xie Chen's mind was even more confused. So, he did not survive in the magma of the Ice and Fire Island. Instead, after his body turned into ashes, his soul strangely possessed him on the young man who should have been burned to death in the fire and had the same name as him.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, the tribe members will definitely see the fire on the mountain, and Uncle San and the others should arrive soon." The fat man Xie Tuo lowered his head, carefully wiped Xie Chen's body with a charred black, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what's wrong? I originally meant to let Brother Chen sleep for a while, but I didn't expect me to fall asleep too. If I saw you being burned to this way, Uncle San would be so sad... Come on, I'll sort out your face for you..."
"Get out! Do you know what the appearance means?" Xie Chen gritted his teeth and roared angrily.
Although Xie Chen is Xie Tuo's cousin, she has been born with premature babies and has been infertile and has many diseases since childhood. When the two were together, Xie Tuo, the cousin, has been taking care of Xie Chen.
This is the case this time. Xie Chen felt quite tired from climbing the mountain and had to take a nap in the wooden house in the mountains for a while, but Xie Tuo was guarding him. However, he never thought that Xie Tuo fell asleep too, so that both of them were almost buried in the fire.
"Xie Tuo, are you saying that you are asleep too?" After roaring, Xie Chen suddenly felt aroused in his heart.
"Yeah." Xie Tuo raised his head and said, "Originally, I planned to meditate for a while to see if I could feel the existence of my natal spirit. Unexpectedly, I lost consciousness just after I was exercising my qi. I didn't wake up until the fire burned on my feet. When I woke up, I looked back and saw that you were already dark..."
Xie Chen had no choice but to ignore the second half of Xie Tuo's words. It was not until this time that he noticed that Xie Tuo's right trouser legs were charred, with chubby little feet exposed outside, and there were a large number of burn marks on his feet that were awakened.
Obviously, in order to save himself, Xie Tuo has not dealt with his injuries until now. Thinking of this, Xie Chen couldn't help but feel a little warm.
"What about cousin Xie Hao? Didn't he go up the mountain with us? Where is others?" Xie Chen suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Brother Hao?" Xie Tuo seemed to remember this person just now, then smiled relievedly and said, "Brother Hao is fine. Just after you went to bed, Brother Hao said he would pray before noon, so he left first. Fortunately, Brother Hao was not in there, otherwise, he would probably have to be as dark as us."
"Oh..." Xie Chen nodded slightly, looking at the black smoke rising from the sky of a jungle not far away, thinking about something.
The back mountain of Xie's family occupies a huge area, and the wooden house that was on fire is being built on the hillside. This wooden house is originally a villa, which is usually used for people in the tribe to take a break when they are tired from climbing the mountain. Although there are no servants in the wooden house, they are often cleaned and equipped with all the equipment.
Standing by the window of the wooden house, you can look out of the distance, and even overlook the panoramic view of the entire Wushi Town where the Xie family is located. There is a clear clump in front of the house, and a stream in the mountains beside the house is gurgling. It is the place where you can cultivate yourself and cultivate yourself.
However, I didn't expect that such a paradise-like place suddenly caught fire, almost killing the lives of the two teenagers.
"Xie Tuo, do you feel something unusual before you fall asleep?" Xie Chen asked in a deep thought.
"Strange place? No..." Xie Tuo didn't know why Xie Chen asked this, scratched his head in confusion, and suddenly exclaimed, "If it's unusual, it's really a little..."
“What is it?”
Xie Tuo recalled vigorously, "Just when I just started practicing, I smelled a faint fragrance..."
"fragrance?"
"Yeah!" The little fat man Xie Tuo nodded affirmatively and said, "It's the fragrance. I was thinking at that time that it was already autumn now, and there were not even a few wild flowers on the mountain. Where did the fragrance come from? I thought I had smelled it wrong."
"Yes! It must be like this!" Two cold lights suddenly flashed through Xie Chen's eyes, and his heart was already bright!
Through the memories that just came out, Xie Chen knew that his cousin Xie Tuo had cultivated spiritual power since he was a child under the guidance of his father. Although he was only twelve years old now, he already had a good foundation. People with spiritual power naturally would not fall asleep when they were just meditating and practicing. There must be problems with this.
And the key to this problem is the sudden fragrance! Thinking of this, Xie Chen sneered in his heart, "Hmph, is it a magical fragrance? First, fascinate us, then set fire to the house, and there is no evidence to die? Such a vicious method..."
"Brother Chen, do you think, what kind of flowers on this mountain are so fragrant? Could it be that when we were asleep, a fairy sister happened to pass by?" Xie Tuo did not doubt the fragrance at all, but instead thought about it with longing eyes, "Oh, it's such a pity, I didn't see it. If I saw it, maybe...hehe..."
"Hehe, if a fairy really sees you, a fat man who is so slutty, she will not be able to help but ignite the fire and roast you into a suckling pig!"
Xie Chen complained unhappily. He did not tell Xie Tuo what he thought. He grew up among horse thieves since childhood and has been sticking to the horse thieves' creed for many years. One of the horse thieves' creeds, "Before finding out the truth, any guesses can only be a piece of paper. Bury everything he has in his heart until he will kill with one blow!"
"Is that true? If this is true, then this fairy sister is too unaware of appreciation. You know, I still have a lot of connotations..." The fat man Xie Tuo stopped fantasizing and said seriously.
"Xie Chen! Xie Hao! Where are you?!" At this moment, a clear voice sounded from where the black smoke rose, and the sound was filled with anxiety.
"It's Brother Hao! It must be Brother Hao who saw the wooden house caught fire and came down from the mountain." Xie Tuo heard the voice, his eyes lit up, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother Hao! We are here! Come here quickly, Brother Chen and I are not dead!"
"Crash!" The bushes sounded, and accompanied by rapid steps, a thin boy had arrived at the two of them soon.
"You are all okay? That's great..." The boy seemed to breathe a long sigh, then turned his head to look at the black smoke behind the woods and asked, "What's going on? Why did it suddenly catch a fire?!"
"Probably because the weather is dry and there is something flammable in the room, it's spontaneously ignited." Xie Chen looked at the handsome boy in front of him and said, "Cousin Hao, do you think so?"
"Oh, huh, not bad." For some reason, when the moment she faced Xie Chen's gaze, Xie Hao's gaze flashed a little.
But after a moment, Xie Hao returned to his calmness and said calmly: "I just tied the red cloth to the tree on the top of the mountain when I saw a fire at the foot of the mountain. The family's back mountain is prohibited from entering outsiders on weekdays, and it must be because of the dry weather."
As he said that, Xie Hao suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Xie Tuo with some reproach and said, "Xie Tuo, have you been with Brother Chen all the time? Why did he get Chen Du so burned so seriously?!"
"I, I..." Faced with Xie Hao's questioning, the little fat man Xie Tuo suddenly felt embarrassed and could not speak.
His father had passed away and he had always been the patriarch to raise him. Although Xie Tuo was still young, he had already made up his mind to repay the patriarch. Now Xie Chen's injuries are also closely related to his inexplicable sleep, which makes him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Brother Hao, it's not about Xie Tuo's business. It's because I'm too slow. If I could be like Brother Hao, I wouldn't be burned so badly." Xie Chen smiled indifferently, as if there was a hint of envy in his words. However, a cold light flashed quickly in his eyes.
