Chapter 56: Wildfire (2)

Li Shuci wrapped up and walked out, and saw that the old lady had already walked out of the house wearing this fox fur, Li Shuci stepped forward and walked out of the courtyard with the old lady on his shoulder, and asked, "Grandmother, what's going on, why did you go to the water?"

The old lady was worthy of her age, and she was quite calm, and said, "Yuxiang has already gone to find someone to put out the fire." But the fire spread very quickly. ”

At first, it was just a side room at the entrance of the courtyard, but tonight the wind was a little strong, and when it blew slightly, the fire spread rapidly. Some timid mothers-in-law and girls were already crying in fright, screaming desperately, and at a loss. Mu Yun protected Li Shuci and the old lady to retreat, the fire in the winter night was eye-catching and abnormal, the tongue of fire was swept by the cold wind and raged everywhere, rushing to the eaves and roof tiles, the tiles were crackling, and they exploded.

Most of the girls have errands, and they are used to sleeping lightly, and most of them hear the movement when they are on fire, so they stumble out of the yard.

The old lady lived on this side better, the old man slept lightly, and even the grandmother kept vigil and did not sleep. Li Shuci didn't sleep at all, he ran out as soon as he heard the sound, and specially asked Qingge to knock on Wu's door, Wu stood next to Li Shuci with Li Shuran in a daze, and there was nothing wrong, but he was just scratched by the falling gravel on the eaves. Seriously, there was a row of houses opposite, Li Shuwan and Li Shuyu ran out of the innermost room with their arms, and just ran out of the courtyard, the crossbar of the courtyard gate was burned by the fire, blocking the courtyard gate, and the two coughed for a while, and fell to the ground, and their faces were also black.

At this time, Zhou's half-dragged and half-hugged Li Shuwen, covered with a quilt, rushed out of the room, and arrived in the yard, but saw that the courtyard door was blocked by the fire, Li Shuwen seemed to have fainted, and everyone saw Zhou come out, and they all sped up to the gate of the courtyard, and someone shouted: "The eldest lady will quickly dip the quilt in snow." ”

When Zhou heard this, he looked down, the snow on the ground was roasted by the fire, and he hurriedly put Li Shuwen on the ground, pushed her to roll around, and rolled the snow himself, holding Li Shuwen to re-approve the wet quilt and rushing out of a weak place where everyone had finally splashed with water.

Some of the girls are not very old, and they have not experienced anything, so they are so frightened that they cry again and again, and even Mama scolded loudly: "What's it called!

Zhou had just come out of the courtyard, he was full of excitement, glanced around, didn't see Li Shuqiao, and shouted: "Qiao'er! My Qiao'er is still inside...... Hurry up ......"

Zhou was originally in a room with Li Shuqiao, but Li Shuqiao couldn't eat or sleep well in Lingxin Nunnery these days, Zhou wanted her to sleep well, so he let her sleep alone, and he took Li Shuwen to sleep in a room, but he didn't expect it to ......

Zhou's eyes turned red sharply, and he pointed to a group of whimpering mothers-in-law and shouted, "You guys, don't go and save people quickly!"

But whether it was the nun who rushed to put out the fire or the guards brought by the Li Mansion, they all stopped, and if such a big fire rushed in, it might not be able to get out.

Zhou cried, pulled up the quilt on the ground and was about to rush in, Mama He hugged her, "Madam, are you crazy? If you go inside at this time, even you will be burned to death!"

"But my daughter is still inside, and my Qiao'er is still inside!" Zhou pushed Mama He away and dragged the quilt to the yard.

Everyone was stunned by Zhou's actions, and they didn't cry or scream. Watching Zhou's rush into the yard with all his strength, fortunately Li Shuqiao's house was leaning on the side, and the fire passed a little later, but at this time it was already crumbling, and everyone only heard Zhou shouting inside: "Qiao'er, Qiao'er, where are you?"

This is the fact that everyone has gradually reacted, Li Shuyu and Li Shuwan stood behind everyone, and the corners of their mouths were not easy to detect, reflecting the light and darkness of the fire. At the moment when the roof beam was about to collapse, Zhou held Li Shuqiao tightly in his arms and rushed out of the fire, the quilt no longer knew where it had fallen, and the clothes on his body had been ignited by the fire.

The fire at the gate of the courtyard was finally extinguished by everyone, and as soon as they saw Zhou come out, they immediately stepped forward and poured the cold and biting water in the bucket on the two of them. Zhou was already unconscious, his right foot was dripping with blood, and Li Shuqiao in his arms was motionless.

The old lady frowned tightly and said, "Quickly carry the person to the house and see how the injury is?"

The three mothers-in-law pulled the black Li Shuqiao out of Zhou's arms, and one of the mothers-in-law screamed, and everyone looked at Li Shuqiao, only to see that her long black and beautiful hair had been burned and curled on the scalp. Her arms were tightly protecting her face, and she couldn't tell if her face was burned, but her two slender arms had been burned black and blurred.

On a cold winter night, the fire that burned half of the sky red was finally extinguished, and there were burnt roof ridges and debris everywhere, and the pungent smell of burning. That's when everyone felt cold. The silent nun chanted the Buddha's name in her mouth, and at this time she couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked the nun in charge behind her: "What's the matter, how can you go to the water?"

Nun said nervously: "This courtyard is full of nobles, and we don't want to disturb it rashly, but it really caught fire somehow, and the wind was strong at night, and it was impossible to say if the candle flame was blown down." ”

Li Shuci and Mu Yun glanced at each other and looked around, the fire almost burned the yard clean, and even if there were any clues, they couldn't see it. This Lian clan is really ruthless, is this going to burn the big house to death like this?

The silent nun confessed again and again, rearranged the courtyard for everyone, and said, "I will go to the government office tomorrow, and I will definitely find out and give the old lady an explanation." ”

The old lady nodded, it was cold, the nun boiled ginger soup for everyone, and found the female doctor in the nunnery to treat everyone's injuries.

Zhou's injury was the worst, the entire back was already scorched black and blood-red, and the person was even more unconscious, Mama He was anxious to shed tears on the side, and the old lady ordered: "Send two guards to return to the house overnight, and let the house hurry up and bring a few more spacious carriages." ”

Mama Lian hurriedly went. The master was injured several times, and the girls and mothers-in-law were more or less injured. Lian only showed up at this time, looked at everyone's injuries, sighed again and again, and deliberately glanced at Zhou and Li Shuqiao a few times, with a sneer on his face, but he hid it for a moment.

Li Shuci sneered, if you want people to know unless you don't do it. When the Zhou family suspects Lian's body, I'm afraid that the matter will not end so easily. But now she wants to help the Lian family cover up, the Shen family has such a moth, why not worry?

Early in the morning of the second day, five more extraordinarily spacious carriages came to the Li Mansion, and everyone sat in the carriages, silent, and when they came, they were happy, but when they returned, they were so bleak.

Li Shuran said gloomily: "The family's Xuanhe is often like this fire, and it will be gone when it is burned. ”

Li Shuci thought for a while and comforted: "Sisters in this house, I have always felt that the second sister has always been the most transparent, but she is too pessimistic. If you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing, everything is predestined. ”

Li Shuwen didn't expect that Li Shuci was the most noisy on weekdays, but now that he is quiet, he is such a wonderful person, nodded and said: "You are right, good people naturally have good rewards, and evil people also have evil people to grind." Everything was meant to be. ”

The injured were afraid of bumps, and the carriage walked slowly towards Li's mansion step by step, Li Shuwen had already woken up, guarding Zhou and Li Shuqiao. Zhou was lying on the soft couch, she looked at Zhou's burned cheeks and back blankly, she couldn't tell what it was like, her mother was very strict with them on weekdays, but in the fire, her mother hugged her tightly and desperately...... The tears in Li Shuwen's eyes fell with a snap......

Li Shuqiao snorted, frowned slightly, opened her eyes, there was no place on her body that did not hurt, and the memory flowed through her brain little by little, and the fire was on fire! Li Shuqiao ignored the pain in her body, sat up suddenly, and touched her face with her hand.

"Ahh

Li Shuwen looked at Li Shuqiao and hurriedly said, "Sister, you're awake!"

Li Shuqiao's eyes were flustered, and she asked, "Wen'er, my face, is there anything wrong with my face?"

Li Shuwen was still grieving, and said with tears in her eyes: "Eldest sister, mother she ......"

Li Shuqiao was anxious, regardless of the pain in her body, ignoring Zhou's serious injury on the side, she rummaged in the carriage frantically, the wounds on her body collapsed, and the pus and blood mixed with it were left behind, but she only cared about rummaging, and muttered: "My face...... Is there anything wrong with my face......"

Li Shuwen's eyes were full of disbelief, "Eldest sister, why don't you look at your mother, your mother is to save you, and she was burned like this by the fire to save you!"

"Wen'er, you tell me first! Tell me first! How is my face?"

Li Shuwen's tears rolled down, and she couldn't help but step forward and grab Li Shuqiao's arm and say, "Sister, wake up!"

Li Shuqiao kept rummaging, and was suddenly grabbed by Li Shuwen's arm, screaming in pain, and suddenly saw her arm in her eyes, and screamed again. Li Shuwen looked at Li Shuqiao, whose face was good, and there was no intact place in her body, and all of her body was smoked and blackened, and she only felt that her heart was more terrible than her current appearance! Li Shuwen's trembling hands took out a palm-sized copper mirror from the warm hole, and the back of the copper mirror was inlaid with several gems, which were gorgeous and abnormal, and it was a small mirror that Li Shuqiao carried, and Li Shuwen picked it up in a ruin, so she helped Li Shuqiao put it away.

Li Shuqiao hurriedly stretched out her hand to take it, and couldn't wait to look into the bronze mirror, a good cheek! She muttered: "My face is not burned, my face is good, haha...... Hahaha......"

Li Shuwen looked at Li Shuqiao, who was a little crazy, her face was not bad, but her skin from head to toe was burned black, and now she doesn't know where it was burned, where it was smoked, and her moving hair was gone.
