Finale (9)
In the middle of the night, everything is silent. The people of Huocheng entered the dream fragrance early, and under the effect of the sleeping pill, they slept sweeter than ever.
Yes, for more than a year, Gu Qiancheng has not only found routes and stored food, but also saved a little medicinal herbs.
The people of Fire City don't know how to heal, and they don't have that strict care for herbs. When Gu Qiancheng was collecting medicine, he quietly kept his hand and saved for several months, and finally saved a sufficient amount of sleeping pills, and sprinkled the medicine powder on the water source while people were unprepared.
This herb is harmless to the human body, it will only make people sleep sweetly, and the next day when they wake up in good spirits, there are no side effects at all, unless people with a lot of thoughts, they will never find it.
While everyone in the village was asleep, Gu Qiancheng quietly got up and took down the dry food hidden on the roof. It is said to be dry food, but in fact it is some dried fruits, dried meat and hay.
Gu Qiancheng had limited access to food, so he could only find these miscellaneous things that could fill his stomach.
After saving for several months, he saved a small burden, and Gu Qiancheng expected to eat less, and he could eat for seven or eight days. As for seven or eight days later, Gu Qiancheng didn't care, and she couldn't care about it.
With the burden on his back, Gu Qiancheng opened the door and walked out without hesitation, stepping into the dark night.
She knows that there are good people in Huocheng, she knows that the children she teaches are very innocent and beautiful, but these can't keep her, not to mention that Huocheng is not good, even if it is good, it is not her home, she must leave here and return to her family.
Because he had stepped on it before, after Gu Qiancheng walked out of the village, he walked into the woods by the moonlight and walked all the way north.
Combined with her observations and what she had heard from the children, the Flame Fruit was planted in the north, and if she wanted to take it, she had to go north.
As for whether the north can get out, she doesn't care, but she must get the Flame Fruit before she can get out.
It is difficult to walk at night, and it is especially dangerous to enter the woods at night, but Gu Qiancheng can't care about this, she has to take advantage of the darkness to go farther, and when the people in the village wake up at dawn, she will not be able to leave.
With the previous experience of walking from the capital to the northwest with Tang Wanjin, Gu Qiancheng walked quite smoothly this way, without alarming the animals in the forest at all, and did not leave too obvious traces.
Because he was worried that after dawn, the people of Fire City would come to him, even if he couldn't see the road, Gu Qiancheng didn't dare to stop, he walked all the way fast, and he couldn't wait to get out of Fire City before dawn.
Of course, this is impossible. If you can get out of Fire City in one night, the people of Fire City will not be trapped here forever.
Gu Qiancheng, who was walking in the woods, didn't know that when she left the village, a young man had been standing in the dark, watching her leave, and after she left, he lit a fire and burned the school and the place where she lived!
"It's on fire, it's on fire!" The fire was very fast, and the people of Huocheng slept very soundly, and it was not until the fire reached the sky that they found that the courtyard where Gu Qiancheng lived was on fire.
The whole village tried their best to rescue, but the fire was so big that they couldn't turn back, so they could only watch the school being burned to ashes by the fire, as for the people in the fire?
When the people in the village came out, the fire was already very big, and they didn't hear the cries for help at all, and everyone thought that Gu Qiancheng was dead inside.
Of course, it wasn't that no one thought about whether Gu Qiancheng would escape by chance, but two days later, the fire was extinguished, and they found a charred corpse in the fire, which looked almost the same as Gu Qiancheng.
"Why did Mr. Gu die?"
"It's all us, we didn't take good care of Mr. Gu, and actually let Gu Qiancheng be burned alive."
"It's too miserable, Mr. Gu died too miserably."
……
Seeing the charred corpse, the people in the village blamed themselves very much, thinking that they were not vigilant enough and did not find out at the first time when the fire started, which made Gu Qiancheng burned alive.
When the whole village was sad that the only literate gentleman in their village had died, and there was no one to teach the children in the village in the future, only a young man stood in the crowd with a blank face, looking into the distance, with a smile in his eyes: Sir, I know you don't want to stay here, I wish you a safe journey.
Gu Qiancheng walked in the forest for three days, but no one caught up, and his heart finally fell.
"Looks like they're not going to be looking for it." Gu Qiancheng sat on a big tree, gnawing on cold and hard jerky in his mouth.
The farther north the forest, the fewer prey there were, no matter how good Gu Qiancheng's skills were, it was useless, he could only eat dry food to satisfy his hunger, and silently prayed that he could find the Flame Fruit as soon as possible, and then find a way out, leave the Fire City, and return to Qin Shiyan and Long Bao's side.
It's been four years, and she misses her son, and she misses her son's father, so much, so much......
At the same time, Jing Yan, who had been traveling day and night, finally arrived at Huohuo Mountain.
Nearly four years have passed, and the volcano has long since calmed down, and only the layers of rusty red stones on the ground silently tell the world what has happened here.
"It's hot!" The volcano erupted four years ago, although the fire slurry has cooled down at this moment, but the temperature around the volcano is much higher than four years ago, even if Jing Yan's internal strength is not low, it can't bear the sultry heat.
After pouring a mouthful of water, Jing Yan took out the map he had copied in advance, compared the direction of the volcano, and looked for the entrance.
"Looking at the map, the entrance to the Fire City should be at the foot of the volcano, walk through the volcano." Jing Yan took the map and compared it for a long time, and finally found the place, and this place was where the nine gates were located.
There were still rows of numbers on the door, Jing Yan glanced at it, then took out the worn-out "Yiguo Zhi" for comparison, and opened the first door in a hurry.
That's right, the method of opening the door is written in "Yiguo Zhi", and there is no need to use manpower to calculate it at all.
The further you go inside, the higher the temperature becomes, Jing Yan is so hot that the skin exposed outside is hot and festering, but Jing Yan doesn't even frown, and opens the nine doors one by one in front of "Yi Guozhi".
Walking to the ninth door, the clothes on Jing Yan's body already exuded a burnt smell, and there was a faint smell of meat.
"If it goes on like this, I'm going to be roasted." Jing Yan laughed at himself, and according to the instructions of the "Yiguo Zhi", he walked through the Bagua Gate and came to the volcano.
I don't know when the fire in the volcano is gone, of course, the rows of green trees are gone, this is just an ordinary wasteland, if the temperature is higher than other places, this is an ordinary wasteland, completely worthless.
"Walk through this wasteland and you'll find it." Jing Yan glanced at it again, made sure that he had made no mistake, put away "Yiguo Zhi", and ran forward lifelessly.
There is no way, it is too hot here, it is torturous to stay for a moment, he doesn't want anything now, he just wants to find Gu Qiancheng quickly, or he can't find Gu Qiancheng and find Fire City. In short, let him find the same no matter what, otherwise he won't give up......
