At the urging of Mrs. Hou, the people served the water more frequently, and finally, the last basin of water was poured down, the fire was completely extinguished, and it was wet everywhere, and there was a crackling sound in the fire, which should be the sound of wood breaking after burning into charcoal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Now it seems, the green bamboo garden has become a ruin, steaming hot, the air is filled with a smell of burning, with bursts of crying, from time to time a person runs out of the fire, or a person in his hand, or a person on his back, or should I say, a corpse.

Although some people are still moaning and squirming, they don't seem to be alive, they are placed side by side by the guards of the Hou Mansion in an open space, their heads, faces and bodies are all scorched and black, and they know that it is a person by looking at their figures, but they can't tell who it is.

After a while, the little Hou Ye also rushed out of the fire, holding a child in his hand, at first glance it was Cui Xiyu, she was now fainting, her hands and feet were hanging softly, and she was shaking with the fast running of the little Hou Ye. He untied the cotton clothes on his body that had been dried and rotted by the fire, and carefully placed Cui Xiyu on it.

At this time, the doctor happened to be invited, and the little marquis hurriedly asked the doctor to see Cui Xiyu first, and the old marquis and Mrs. Hou also came around, after all, Cui Xiyu is not someone else, even if she is just a concubine, she is always her own granddaughter, and they are also very concerned.

As for the aunt, if it's gone, it's gone, and the aunt comes home, isn't it just to have a child, but to put it mildly, it's still the heir who is more important. Mrs. Hou stretched her neck and looked at it for a while, but she still didn't see a guard bring out a big-bellied woman, so she sighed in disappointment.

After a while, two guards finally carried out one person, it was Xiangmo with a big belly, in fact, she was already unrecognizable at that time, her whole body was also charred, no skin on her body was good, and her body exuded a terrible smell of burnt meat, almost disgusting, and she could be recognized, mainly by her stomach.

At this time, she could no longer speak, her mouth kept opening and closing, opening and closing again, and so on, it seemed that she wanted to speak, but unfortunately she could no longer speak, and could only do the final death struggle like a fish out of water.

Qian Yuning saw Xiangmo's tragic situation, couldn't bear to look at it directly, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, turned her face away, and suddenly had infinite fear in her heart, a person who was sitting there a few days ago, and now she has become this picture of no person, no ghost, besides, she is still pregnant with a child in her belly.

Two more doctors came one after another, and checked all the people who came out, at this time, Xiangmo was dead, because she opened her mouth wide for the last time but never closed it again, looking at her tragic death, she remembered the sound of small cries all around, first she started to be very low and depressed, and slowly the sound of crying increased, and for a while, the whole sky was full of sadness and irrepressible fear.

After the all-out treatment of the three doctors, only Xiangshu, who had the lightest burns, and her personal maid Yin'er picked up one life, and the other fifteen people, including Xiangmo and the child in the belly, Cui Xiyu, the two grandmothers sent by Mrs. Hou to give her a baby, and the other maids and daughters-in-law in Qingzhuyuan, the entire sixteen lives were all gone.

Although Xiangshu picked up a life, but her life was worse than death, she and the maid Yin'er both had their faces burned, half of Xiangmo's face was burned by the fire, the whole face looked very terrible, her eyes were also red and turned outward, and her once black and beautiful long hair was also floated away by the tongue of fire. Yin'er's entire head and face were licked by tongues of fire, her nose and ears were burned, and her long hair was burned to the ground.

According to the guards who rescued them, the two escaped the catastrophe because they hid in the big water tank in the yard, but after the water tank was turned in by one person, the whole body could be covered, but the head and face could not be covered, and there was no way, they could only be exposed outside the mouth of the tank, so they only burned their heads and faces, and they were fine from the neck down, but they burned some clothes, and fortunately picked up a life.

When the doctor announced that Cui Xiyu could not be saved, the little marquis looked at her blankly, she was lying quietly on the ground like that, with her eyes closed, a little face that had once bloomed a sweet smile on him was twisted hideously at this time, and her small body had almost been burned to charcoal, what a cruel fact, he couldn't believe that his second daughter was gone.

Qian Yuning walked over boldly, and when she saw Cui Xiyu's body, she couldn't help crying, this child is so pitiful, she is still so young, she suffered this bad luck, it is impossible to believe.

But the facts are in front of us, and people have to believe it! I can't believe it, but I have to believe it, what a frightening answer.

Qian Yuning saw that the little marquis's eyes were moist, squatted down to wipe his eyes, Cui Shuyan glanced at her, took the handkerchief two or three times and wiped his eyes indiscriminately, put the handkerchief in her hand, and turned around and left alone.

Qian Yuning wanted to catch up, but Zhu Rong stopped her at this time: "Aunt Qian, it's good that you're here, please take care of Xiangshu, now among the aunts, there is only an empty room in your Bicui Garden." She stood in the rising sun, behind her a gorgeous glow, like a budding pink rose, slim and elegant, at this time she was holding a handkerchief in her hand, wiping the tears that flowed out from time to time, and even the makeup was crying.

Qian Yuning looked at the incense book lying on the ground, nodded and agreed, she looked at Zhu Rong just now, I don't know why, I always felt that Xiangmo was dead, she was the happiest, but she was obviously crying, she looked extremely sad, could it be that she was wrong? Qian Yuning thought about it, looked at Zhu Rong again, and saw that she was walking to Mrs. Hou to help her up, while wiping her tears and comforting her with red circles in her eyes, she slowly helped Mrs. Hou up and helped her back with Mama Xu.

Seeing that Mrs. Hou Ye and Second Mrs. Rong were gone, and the other aunts had also dispersed, Qian Yuning called four stout mothers-in-law and Xia Ying Xiaoman to work together to carry Xiangshu and Yin'er, who were already unconscious, to the gate of Bicui Garden.

Xia Ying stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Open the door, Mama Liu open the door quickly, my aunt and we are back." ”

After a knock on the door, there was a sound of pulling the latch inside, squeak, the door opened, and Mama Liu and Mama Sun came out of the door, and saw two people lying outside the door, who were as black as charcoal, and were startled, and said, "Who is this?" ”

Qian Yuning ignored them, and just asked them to come forward to help, and everyone carried Xiangshu and Yin'er into it together, and put them in the west wing.

Next, she instructed a few maids and Liu Sun to scrub Xiangshu and Yin'er first, and replace their tattered and charred dirty clothes. Because there were no suitable clothes, Qian Yuning had to take out a newly made one of herself and change it for Xiangshu, and saw that Dongxue and Yin'er were about the same size, so she asked her to take out one and change it for Yin'er.

As for the heads of the two of them, they had to ask a doctor to deal with it first, Qian Yuning called Dongxue and said, "You go and invite the doctor just now and show the two of them." ”

Mama Liu came over to take a closer look at it at this time, she pointed to the incense book that had passed out on the bed and said, "Auntie, why does the slave maid think that this good face is familiar, isn't it an aunt." ”

Qian Yuning glanced at her and said heavily: "It's Aunt Xiangshu, and the other is her personal maid Yin'er." ”

Mama Liu let out an "ah" and asked, "What about Aunt Xiangmo?" ”

"Dead."

"What about the others?"

"All of them are dead, Qingzhuyuan was all burned to death by the fire except for Xiangshu and Yin'er."

Mama Liu covered her mouth and said in disbelief: "That's not even the second girl who cherishes the jade, ...... hey, this kid is also a pity." Mama Liu sighed, Qian Yuning's heart sank, and there was a faint pain in her heart, and the crying and sad face of Second Mrs. Rong appeared in front of her eyes. What seems to be the difference? What am I overlooking? But for a while, I couldn't even think of it, Qian Yuning thought with a gloomy face and a frown. (To be continued.) )
