Chapter 366: Moths to the Fire
Cheng Jinzhi could feel that the sky was about to dawn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As Gu Hanqing said, this long night will eventually pass, but what should happen after dawn?
Who knows if there will be countless dark and painful nights waiting for her?
The cycle repeats itself, with no end.
Cheng Jinzhi sat on the ground and curled up, even though his eyes were already sad, he still did not give up hope in his heart.
Everything has not yet developed to the last moment, and as long as she is alive, there is still a chance to get out of here.
It's just that at this moment, it is difficult for her to get out of it by herself.
The surroundings suddenly became unusually quiet, and even the sound of leaves falling on the ground could be heard through the doors and windows.
In addition to this, there is a sound similar to a broken branch ringing in the ears from time to time.
Cheng Jinzhi moved his somewhat heavy eyelids, and his gaze fell on the closed door in front of him, and a sense of foreboding unconsciously rose in his heart.
Gradually, the smell of burning began to waft through the air, as bad as the smell she had smelled when she had set the fire before.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jinzhi opened his eyelids, his heart sank suddenly, and he quickly stood up with his hands on the ground and rushed to the door.
As soon as she reached the door, she immediately felt a scorching breath slowly steaming up from the soles of her feet.
Then, through the gauze paper on the door frame, she clearly saw the surging and spreading firelight outside the door.
It's like a ghost that is scurrying around, constantly waving its teeth and claws by the door, as if it will rush up in an instant, devouring and destroying everything around it.
Including her, a living person.
"It's him, he wants to burn me alive......"
Cheng Jinzhi embedded his nails into the wood carving of the door frame, his chest rose and fell violently, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She knew that the prince would not spare herself easily, but she never expected that this man would be so vicious!
The fire outside the door became more and more intense, and soon, puffs of smoke mixed with a pungent smell of burnt drifted through the cracks in the doors and windows, and it was not long before the whole room overflowed.
Although Cheng Jinzhi's heart was anxious, he was terrified, and he was even on the verge of collapse.
But when I thought of the prince's hateful and vicious face, I thought of Gao Heng, who was afraid of her outside, and the child in her womb.
She kept telling herself in her heart that she would survive no matter what!
Only by sparing her life can she have a chance to take revenge and fight back a thousand times the pain she has suffered today!
She forced herself to calm down, and after a quick look around, she rushed to the table and covered her mouth and nose with a tea-soaked handkerchief.
The quilts on the bed were then dragged to the floor and unfurled one by one to block the cracks in the door to slow down the spread of the fire.
It's just that there is no extra water in the room, and just pouring the tea from the teapot on these heavy quilts is really a drop in the bucket, and it won't last long.
"Help, let me out, let me out-!"
Although she knew that the people in this mansion were all from the crown prince, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart when she thought of the person who threw stones when she was treated lightly by the prince before.
So he shouted hoarsely, ignoring the rising burning sensation, and pounded the door with his hands desperately.
I hope that I can find out my conscience and come over to save her and the child in her womb.
However, it backfired, no matter how desperately she screamed for help, there was no movement except for the increasingly ferocious fire.
And after shouting, she felt that her throat was dry and itchy, and she couldn't help coughing first.
Although some precautions were taken, the blazing fire soon spread to the house through the wooden doors and windows.
In addition, the whole house is mostly made of wooden structures, so the fire is even more unscrupulous.
In less than half a pillar of incense, there was already a raging sea of fire in front of him, and it was constantly approaching.
Cheng Jinzhi didn't care about choking on the smell of burning at the moment, but pulled down the curtain on the bed hard, raised his hands and kept fighting the fire in front of him.
Even if it's just a small effort, I hope to be able to fight for more hope for myself.
However, even if she temporarily slowed down the fire in front of her, there would still be more intense flames burning one after another.
It's like it never stops going out.
Just looking at it like this can make people feel a deep sense of despair and powerlessness.
Cheng Jinzhi covered his mouth and nose with difficulty and retreated to the corner, watching the firelight getting closer and closer to him, covering his hand on his lower abdomen, and finally couldn't help it, and shed tears anxiously and fearfully.
"Am I really going to die here today? How ugly it must be to become a charred corpse... Moreover, even my child has to die with my useless mother, who has not yet been born, and has not yet had time to open his eyes and take a look at the world......"
She sat on the ground and muttered to herself, tears already flowing unconsciously, except for the heart in her chest that was still beating rapidly.
Waiting for that person to be able to cut a way out of this sea of fire, take her, and escape with her child.
"Your Highness, where are you, save me out, save me ......"
Her body began to burn hotter, and her mouth and nose were filled with a suffocating smell that pricked her throat and made her unable to spit out a word.
I don't know how long it has been, but the light of the fire that is dancing in front of me is so close that it seems to be far away.
Whether it's the creak of a burning fire, or the faint wheezing of oneself.
All the sounds suddenly disappeared at this moment.
"Cheng Jinzhi ......"
In a trance, she only heard someone calling her name softly and clearly.
She struggled to open her eyes a slit, and slowly raised her head, and her blurred vision suddenly became bright and clear at this moment. What caught my eye was the tall and familiar figure.
The figure who thinks about himself and pins all his hopes on it.
Just like when you were in prison and on death row.
In the boundless darkness, he appeared in front of him like a savior, calmly and calmly, and stretched out his hand to himself.
"Let's go, I'll get you out of here. ”
"You... You're finally here. ”
Tears silently overflowed her eyes, but every tear shone with excitement and joy.
Cheng Jinzhi put his trembling hand in his warm palm, and suddenly felt that his body, which was already as heavy as a thousand pounds, had become as light as a wing.
It was as if he had finally found this place in purgatory, and finally closed his eyes peacefully and gratifyingly.
