Chapter 22: The Fire
What does this mean?
Ye Lingyi was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Could it be that the master's appetite is not good during this time, it's all ......"
Pretended?
Could it be that she has been tricked by this guy with a bad stomach again?
Helian Che didn't answer her doubts, and said, "Rest early today, and I'll take you somewhere tomorrow." ”
After that, he picked up the bamboo slips on the case and looked at them.
Ye Lingyi gritted her teeth, she didn't know whether to be happy or angry, given that the guy with a bad stomach had already issued an eviction order, she could only step back to the room with fierce steps.
In the second half of the night, a strong wind suddenly began.
The whirring wind opened the windows of the house, and the sound of ping-pong instantly became a mess.
Ye Lingyi was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly woken up, and through the faint night, he saw that there seemed to be a very bright light outside the window swaying left and right with the wind.
Ye Lingyi frowned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, got out of bed and closed the window.
However, it was only when she reached the window that she saw that the light was coming from the main house.
The eyes that had adapted to the darkness finally cleared up a little bit in the stinging sensation, and wasn't it the fire that was spreading at a frantic speed in the wind?
"It's on fire...... Make move...... It's on fire! ”
Ye Lingyi shouted twice with a blank expression.
The two mothers-in-law rubbed their sleepy eyes and sat up, and scolded angrily: "Dead girl, why do you not sleep in the middle of the night?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, a figure rushed out like a wind, leaving behind the door that was blown by the wind.
The two mothers-in-law looked at each other.
When Ye Lingyi came, half of the main house had already burned, the flames in the sky were blown by the howling wind, the billowing smoke was blown away and carried by the strong wind and rushed straight to the world, choking people's tears, and the amazing heat emitted by the flames scorched the entire Tianxin Residence, as if it was about to melt everyone.
"Master! Master! ”
After the flames, no sound could be heard and no one responded to her, only the door of the house, which had long been engulfed by the flames, made a "crackling" sound, and then something collapsed, "boom".
Ye Lingyi's heart was confused, and her eyes were red, although Helian Che was not very good-tempered, and he was not a good person, but he had saved her when he was in Cangling Mountain, and he couldn't let him die like this.
She was going to save him.
"Come on...... Someone! Someone! ”
She opened her throat and shouted, and when she turned her head, she saw that only two housekeepers trotted over with their coats on, and shouted in panic: "It's on fire, why is it on fire?" ”
Is this the time to think about that?
"It's important to save people, go and call someone to put out the fire, Young Master Miao is still inside."
In a hurry, Ye Lingyi's voice seemed a little hysterical.
The two mothers-in-law were startled, looked at each other, and ran out to find someone to help without hesitation, and there were two guards by the door.
It seems that someone deliberately set the fire.
Ye Lingyi sank his face, and when he looked around, he found that there was neither a tank for storing water nor any water here, and it seemed that he could not use the knowledge he had learned in modern times to enter the fire.
It is urgent to save people, and we can only rush hard.
Under the monstrous firelight, Ye Lingyi's eyes were condensed with a firm light, and he rushed to the fire with his legs.
The moment she rushed through the flame-shattered door with the astonishing speed of this body, she clearly heard her mother-in-law shouting behind her, "Come back! Come back! You don't want to die? Young Master, he's ......."
At?
In what?
Ye Lingyi didn't hear the words behind her mother-in-law, and there was only the whining sound of the wind blowing the flames in her ears.
The situation was extremely dangerous at this time, the main house was in danger of collapsing at any time, and she had to find Helian Che as soon as possible.
As far as the eye could see, there was nothing to see except the fire that was about to eat her and the black smoke from the burning.
"Master? Master? Where are you? ”
"Helian Che? Helian Che! ”
Still no one responded.
Outside the main house, Helian Che hurried in with fire-fighting tools and a group of guards and servants, and saw two mothers-in-law sitting on the ground with decadent expressions.
"If you don't put out the fire, what are you doing here!"
Helian Che scolded sharply.
The mother-in-law turned her head in a daze, and immediately said with a crying expression: "It's over, the girl went in, and the girl thought that you were still inside, so she broke in." This must be a small life. ”
"What did you say?"
Helian Che frowned, and there was a trace of solemnity and anger in his cold eyes: "Bring water!" ”
At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a lion in a low pressure and was suppressing his anger, no one dared to disobey him, but there were still people who persuaded in a low voice: "Young Master, it's just a dead minion, the fire in this house is so fast, don't ......"
The person who spoke pretended to be concerned, and before he could close his mouth, he was stabbed by a sharp look like a knife, so he had to obediently shut up.
The bucket was delivered, Helian Che didn't think about it, and splashed his head on himself, and his whole body was immediately watered.
Many subordinates gathered around him, and just like that, they watched as the man in the silver mask rushed into the fire without hesitation, and his long body leaped lightly, completely disappearing behind the flames.
"He...... Lian Che ......"
At this time, in the depths of the fire, Ye Lingyi, who was traceless, bent down and continued to dig in the remnants of the broken tiles full of flames, and his mind was quickly baked by the scorching heat and almost collapsed.
Because of the lack of oxygen, her eyes could no longer see the situation in front of her clearly, her breathing became shorter and shorter, and she was almost unconscious, but she continued to rush to the fire with an obsession.
Finally, a faint cry for help hit her eardrums.
"Help......
Ye Lingyi pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and the voice as thin as a mosquito came again: "Save ...... Help me! ”
"Helian Che?"
Ye Lingyi, who was already exhausted, heard the cry for help clearly, and he didn't know where to burst out of nowhere, looking around excitedly, and shouting: "Helian Che!" Helian Che, where are you? ”
Suddenly, there was no sound on the other side.
Ye Lingyi was in a hurry, moved a few more steps forward, and finally saw a person behind the dazzling light of the flames.
It appears that the roof of the house was destroyed by the fire, and he was buried in a pile of rubble, unable to move.
Ye Lingyi didn't care much, rushed over to dig up the hot rubble with his bare hands, he tried his best but forgot the pain, and his hands were full of blood and ashes, and he only dug out his upper body.
The man's face was buried in the ground, and the large area of blood on his head had no movement, as if he was dead.
"Helian Che, He......"
She shouted loudly with red eyes, and in her excitement, she accidentally inhaled a few puffs of smoke, choked and coughed, and when she coughed badly, she actually had tears in her eyes and fainted directly.
Helian Che, who heard the sound, frowned, squeezed into the collapsed and deformed small door with difficulty, and saw the two people surrounded by firelight from a distance.
"Green kite."
Helian Che shouted, jumped into the encirclement of the flames that grew stronger, and shook her shoulder.
Ye Lingyi only opened half of his eyes, and the moment he saw him, the red eyes under his eyelids were completely soaked with tears.
"Helian Che!"
She didn't know if the current scene was true, but in her half-line vision, she could only see countless sparks rising and falling above his head, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky on a summer night, like countless beautiful and gentle red fireflies.
In the depths of her love, she reached out and hugged his neck tightly, burying her face in his neck socket.
Helian Che's back stiffened involuntarily, and finally a chill gradually came from the neck socket, which was actually wet with her tears, and the owner of the tears, the girl who held him, was already tired and fell into a deep sleep.
Helian Che carefully kept her out of the reach of the flames and began to dig up the man buried in the rubble.
Suddenly, a gray-and-blue hand caught his hand.
Helian Che looked sideways, only to see Danqing raise his face from the ashes, smile at him with difficulty and shake his head, the top of his head was smashed into a large hole by the falling rubble, and a large area of crimson and black blood mixed with cement-colored fire ash fell along his head down his cheek into the hot ashes under him, and soon baked into smoke.
"Danqing ......"
Helian looked pained and tried to take his hand away.
Danqing's strength is incomparably great.
"My leg is gone."
He said this softly, and as he laughed, a clear tear slipped from the dark eyes of the young man, and soon the color mixed with blood dripped from his jaw, which looked as shocking as crying blood.
Helian Che was shocked.
Danqing continued, but his voice was extremely weak: "Master, I found that when the fire burned, it was the same as this girl......"
The young man's eyes when he looked at the unconscious girl were obviously filled with tiredness and pain, but the smile on his face remained the same: "I thought the master was inside, I knew that someone was harming the master in this fire tonight, I wanted to save the master, but ......"
When he spoke, the look in his eyes gradually became sad and tormented: "I'm really useless, I don't have the good skills of the master and the luck of this girl, the fire collapsed the roof and happened to hit me, my legs are gone, I was buried in a pile of hot rubble, like being thrown into an oil pot, I can't climb and move, I don't even have the strength to speak, I'm really afraid that I will die directly like this, but it's okay, I can see you at the end, hehe......"
His eyes began to dilute, his pupils tightened again, his eyes were full of concern and reluctance, he grabbed Helian Che's hand tightly, and said in a pleading tone: "Master, can you promise me one thing?" ”
Helian Che's heart seemed to be scraped with a knife, and he said in a calm voice: "You say! ”
With only two words like this, Danqing smiled as if he had taken a reassuring pill.
But the good times didn't last long, and he immediately didn't hand over again: "Don't ...... Don't ......"
He always had trouble saying anything.
A pair of eyes looked at the girl behind the firelight, and her chest began to rise and fall violently due to shortness of breath: "Don't be so strict with her...... She also ...... It's also a ...... Hard-working child. Like my ...... Poor sister alike! Master......"
Helian Che also followed his gaze and nodded heavily: "Okay!" ”
At this moment, the young man's eyes finally showed undisguised sadness, and a pair of eyes seemed to regain color: "Master, in fact, I don't want to die." Master, I don't want to leave you......"
Helian Che couldn't stand it anymore, gritted his teeth and looked away, so heavy that he said: "Don't say it, I'll take you out!" ”
"Master......"
Danqing's hand pressed on the back of Helian Che's hand that was about to continue digging the rubble, and shook his head slightly, he knew very well that the fire had reached the point where it was out of control, and he and the sleeping girl had to give up one of them.
For Danqing, Ye Lingyi is a hard-working girl, and she is a person who has made him treat her as a sister countless times since they met, so there must be a trade-off, it is better for him to do this.
It's just that at this moment, he misses his dead sister too much.
When he was dying, his gaze was no longer focused, and his voice was soft: "Sister...... I'm sorry, it's my brother who is too incompetent, he didn't protect you well, and he didn't even find your body, I want to see you again......"
The last word "you" was still in his throat, and the man was no longer alive, only a pair of eyes staring at the raging flames, as if a thin girl was walking towards him, opening her arms and smiling at him, "Brother." ”
At this point, the range of activities is getting smaller and smaller, and it is time to leave.
Danqing has followed Helian Che since he was a child, and now he has gone like this, although Helian Che can't bear it, he can only endure the pain and pick up Ye Lingyi, leaving him with this large area of fire behind him.
