Crazy! The cold master fell in love with me, she ran away from him

The three of them sat around the square table, all concentrating on eating. They finished their meal in a short while. The old man was still the one cleaning up the dishes, and then he skillfully prepared the day's meals and kept them warm on the stove.

As long as the old man was around, Li Nian and Jiang Yuxia never had to do these chores. They were well-fed, unlike ordinary country children.

Both of them were dressed simply, their clothes were clean and comfortable. They looked like linen, but they were indescribably comfortable to wear.

Li Nian and Jiang Yuxia are of the same height, both have round heads, small round faces, rosy cheeks, black and bright eyes, and black, oily and soft hair tied into two small buns on their heads.

It is white and tender like a little dumpling, which makes people happy.

Li Nian looked at the yard. The memories of his playing in this yard were so long ago that he seemed to have almost forgotten some of them.

The three lounge chairs in the yard were neatly placed together, and there was a small table between every two lounge chairs, which was used to place candied fruits.

There is a swing hanging on the thick tree trunk.

That was when they first arrived. They couldn't adapt and always had sad faces. The old man did this to make them happy.

The old man's life was actually very rough as he lived alone. He just wanted to drink enough wine every day and never cared about what was happening in the yard.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every table and every stool were arranged for them by the old man.

Although they didn't know why the villagers were all contaminated with evil spirits after drinking the water from the river, but they were fine, one thing was certain: the old man treated them sincerely.

There is often impatience on the old man's face, but his eyes are full of love. A person's kindness can be pretended, but the eyes cannot. Li Nian can feel it.

But Li Nian could not ask any of his doubts. These questions were not something an eight-year-old child could ask. He had never been out of the vicinity of Lanxi Village. How could he know about this ancient evil spirit? How could he explain this bizarre rebirth?

The old man in his previous life was not in Lanxi Village when the demons came, and no one knows what happened to him later.

I never saw him until I died in my previous life.

Maybe it's a good thing that the old man is not here. Li Nian is just an ordinary child now. Without the cultivation of his previous life, it is extremely difficult for him and Yu Xia to hold on under the hands of the demons until the disciples of Tianyan Sect arrive.

If the old man hadn't faced those demons head-on, he'd have a better chance of surviving, right?!

Li Nian lay on the recliner with his eyes closed. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting shadows on the ground. The leaves swayed gently in the breeze.

The old man came over, looked at her with his head down, picked up a dogtail grass, and gently swept it across Li Nian's nose.

"Old man, if you do it again, I will pour out all your wine tonight!" Li Nian knew it was the childish old man without opening his eyes.

Jiang Yuxia was lying on a recliner nearby. "I told you, don't tease her, or you'll lose your wine. You still don't believe me!" she said with a grin.

"No...no, let me go of my wine, it's my life!" the old man said embarrassedly.

He got up again and went to his room, took out a plate of candied fruits and put it on the small table next to the recliner.

"Eat, there are sour jujube cakes, plum-flavored kumquats, preserved green plums, and candied red fruits. They are all your favorites."

As soon as Jiang Yuxia saw the food, she couldn't lie down anymore. She quickly got up, picked up the sour jujube cake and started eating.

"Thank you, old man, you are so nice!" He spoke vaguely with pastries stuffed in his mouth.

Li Nian also hurriedly got up, picked up the plum-flavored kumquat and started eating. Including her previous life, it had been a long time since anyone bought her candied fruits.

"Little old man, you are so nice to us!" The girl smiled, her eyes turned into two crescent moons, and the joy and happiness on her face seemed to overflow from the dimples at the corners of her mouth.

The old man's face was full of pride, as if it was a great thing for him to make the two little girls happy.

An old man and two children bathed in the shallow warm sunshine and faced the gentle breeze.

But days like this seem to be rare, and everything here will be destroyed tomorrow.

……

Beautiful and peaceful times always pass quickly.

The sun sets, the light gradually fades, the brightness is about to disappear, and the day will soon be over.

The old man, who hadn't had a drink for most of the day, couldn't resist his craving and hurried out to drink again.

He repeatedly reminded us that when he was not around, the door to the yard must be locked, and the door of the house must be closed when resting at night.

He has been repeating these words over and over again for three years, and Li Nian and Jiang Yuxia can repeat them with their eyes closed.

Li Nian looked at the nagging old man and couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him, "Old man, don't drink too much in the future, it will hurt your health."

"Okay, okay, just tell me what you want. Why are you hugging me again?" He said those words of disgust, but he was holding her gently in his hands.

The old man touched her head lovingly, and where Li Nian couldn't see, his eyes were full of complexity as he looked at her...

The old man passed away just like in his previous life, and Li Nian was thinking quietly.

In the previous life, the demons would come at noon tomorrow. As long as Yu Xia and I hide well and wait until the disciples of Tianyan Sect arrive, we can be rescued.

But this time, I absolutely must not let Yuxia get hurt again. In her previous life, Jiang Yuxia had protected Li Nian by blocking the attack from the demons, saving her life.

But her body became very weak. Although she strengthened her physique through practice later, it also caused irreparable damage to her body.

Li Nian's eyes were full of determination. This time, Yu Xia would not be hurt no matter what.

The dim twilight gradually pressed down, and the sky and the earth merged together. At a glance, the endless darkness made people feel uneasy.

For some reason, Li Nian felt an indescribable uneasiness in her heart, as if it was foreshadowing what was about to happen.

Could it be... could it be that I'm worried about tomorrow? But this feeling is so strange!

"Li Nian, Niannian, Niannian..." No one responded after calling for a long time. Jiang Yuxia couldn't help feeling strange and turned to look at her.

As a result, I saw Li Nian standing there stupidly, motionless, and something was wrong.

He walked over and patted her shoulder, "What are you daydreaming about? Do you really miss the old man that much?"

“No, it’s not.”

Thinking about what will happen tomorrow, Li Nian said to Jiang Yuxia in a serious tone:

"Something might happen tomorrow at noon. Remember, you will hide in the big water tank in the old man's room. No matter what sound you hear, don't come out and don't make any noise!"

"Is there any danger? What about you? What will you do?"

"I will be fine. I will find a place to hide. You have to promise me that you won't come out no matter what happens!" Li Nian just looked at her steadily, with pleading in his eyes, asking her to agree. She was afraid that Jiang Yuxia would climb out of the water tank as soon as she saw that she was in danger.

As if frightened by the pleading look in Li Nian's eyes, Jiang Yuxia had no choice but to agree to her. "Okay, I promise you, but you must protect yourself."

Hearing this answer, Li Nian felt slightly relieved.

It was time to go to bed, and they washed up and prepared to rest. But before they closed their eyes, they suddenly heard the shrill screams coming from outside.

Li Nian paused for a moment, immediately stood up, put on his clothes, walked to the door, gently opened it a crack, and looked outside the yard.

I discovered that not far from the yard, there was a mass of black fog, accompanied by the cries of the elderly, women, and children.

Li Nian's face suddenly turned pale. How could it be? How could it be the demons? They came early.

Soon, Li Nian forced himself to calm down, grabbed Jiang Yuxia who was standing beside him, quickly walked into the old man's room, and urged her to get into the water tank.

Jiang Yuxia also saw clearly what had just happened outside the house. Deep fear appeared in her eyes and her body was shaking.

Li Nian didn't have time to explain to Jiang Yuxia, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Remember, remember what I told you, don't make any noise!" He just told her hurriedly and closed the tank lid.
