Chapter 15: Fighting Fires
When Gu Yue'er arrived at the place where the fire broke out, she found that the fire was a two-story wooden building, and the fire was very large.
The plaque on the first floor reads "Rifle School".
Gu Yue'er immediately had a bad premonition in her heart, the school was generally more concentrated, and she saw many people kneeling outside crying.
A lame woman struggled to get in and save her child.
Gu Yue'er pushed the lame woman into the arms of a woman watching the excitement, "Look at her, don't let her in, I'm the Lotus Woman." β
"It's the Lotus Womanβ"
"The Lotus Lady is hereβ"
The crowd boiled.
A man carrying a bucket to fight the fire walked up to Gu Yue'er and said, "Lotus Woman, the children on the first floor have all run out, and there are still children on the second floor." β
This information is very important, Gu Yue'er nodded to the person carrying the bucket, put the casually pulled sheet into the bucket to soak it, wrapped it around her body, jumped lightly, and went up to the second floor.
The people downstairs applauded when they saw the Lotus Woman's superb light skills, and with the Lotus Woman's presence, the children's hope for salvation was great.
The three rooms on the second floor are independent, Gu Yue'er entered the first room, the walls, tables and chairs inside were burning, and the room was full of smoke, which made her cough, fortunately, the black face towel she wore on her face was wet, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable.
Gu Yue'er shouted a few times, but no one answered, she walked around the wall, didn't find anyone, and went directly to the second room.
The situation in the second room was fine, the fire was not very big, Gu Yue'er found four children and an adult man inside.
The adult man was dressed as a weak scholar, and was comforting the four children in a low voice, he should be the gentleman in the school.
Gu Yue'er grabbed four of the skinny children under her armpits with two hands and jumped out of the window.
As soon as she put the child on the ground, several pairs of parents cried and picked up the child.
Gu Yue'er jumped up to the second room on the second floor and asked the man in the room, "Are there any children in the room next to it?" β
"There should be no more on the left, and the classroom on the right is taught by Mr. Liu, I don't know if there is anyone inside."
As the scholar spoke, he was about to lead the way, but he pushed open the door, and the hallway was full of fire.
Gu Yue'er pushed the young scholar back into the house, picked up a long wooden bench from the house and threw it into the corridor where the fire broke out, and stepped on the wooden bench into the third room on the second floor.
In the third room, the fire was so great that all the tables and chairs were on fire, the smoke was billowing and the air was scorchingly hot.
Gu Yue'er saw the two children huddled under the window, coughing non-stop, and immediately jumped to the two children, ripped off the wet sheets on their bodies, and draped them over the two children.
She asked one of the older children, "Is there anyone else in this room?" β
The child pointed to the opposite ground, Gu Yue'er saw that there was a child in blue lying on the ground, and she hurriedly went over and held the child on the ground in her arms.
Fortunately, the three children were not very big, Gu Yue'er directly picked up the three children and jumped down from the window, handing the children over to the onlookers.
Shocking applause rang out all around, and many people were chanting the words "Lotus Woman".
Gu Yue'er didn't have time to stay, she jumped up to the second room on the second floor again and rescued the young scholar.
Qiao Xuan walked nearby, and after hearing the movement, he ran over with his entourage in the direction of the Fu School with Xiao Wu.
Qiao Xuan is good at martial arts, although he was born in a princely family, he is a warm-blooded heart, I heard that there may be people on the second floor, he used light skills to fly to the second floor.
As soon as Gu Yue'er rescued the young scholar, she saw a man in red go to it.
Now it is very dangerous, it has burned more than half of it, and it may collapse at any time.
So Gu Yue'er flew to chase after her, grabbed Qiao Xuan's sleeve with one hand, and was stunned for a moment when she saw Qiao Xuan's face, this guy was the most handsome man she had ever seen, but his brain didn't seem to be very good, and he was in a hurry to rush into the fire in this case.
Qiao Xuan saw that Gu Yue'er was dressed in black, and her face was covered with a black scarf, thinking that she was a villain, so the two fought directly in the air.
The two fought inseparably, and the two-story wooden building next to it made a huge rumbling sound and collapsed.
Gu Yue'er no longer entangled with Qiao Xuan, and used her superb light skills to fly away.
Qiao Xuan, dressed in red, followed after him, and was soon left behind by Gu Yue'er.
Qiao Xuan sighed, walked back to the gate of Fu Xuetang, found Sui Xiaowu, and prepared to go back to the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Xiao Wu was very gossipy: "Young master, I heard from the people that the masked man in black is the famous Lotus Woman." β
"So what? The Lotus Woman can't stop your young master from saving people. Qiao Xuan's chin was slightly raised, and his eyes were bright and dazzling.
Xiao Wu had already inquired about the matter carefully just now, and he explained:
"Young master, I heard that the Lotus Woman rescued all the people in the school, fortunately she didn't let you go up to the second floor, otherwise you would have collapsed as soon as you entered the building, and the young master's life would probably not be guaranteed."
Xiao Wu had a happy smile on his face, if something happened to the young master, Xiao Wu felt that his life was almost over.
"Now the young master is still standing in front of Xiao Wu with all his beards and tails, Xiao Wu is so happy."
The handsome and extraordinary Qiao Xuan quickly digested Xiao Wu's words, and in this way, the Lotus Woman actually saved his life.
Qiao Xuan respectfully bowed ninety degrees in the direction of the Lotus Woman's departure, "Thank you Lotus Woman for saving her life." β
After Qiao Xuan finished saluting, he said to Xiao Wu with a smile on his face: "Xiao Wu, let's ask the people about the deeds of the Lotus Woman." Your young master, my next hero, please spare my life, I already have inspiration. β
He was ready to write about the Lotus Woman.
Qiao Xuan returned to the outside of Laifu Academy, and Su Yuan, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, had just arrived on horseback with seven or eight officers and soldiers.
He got off the horse and saw Qiao Xuan in red in the crowd at a glance.
"Brother Joe."
Qiao Xuan snorted: "The people of your Five Cities Terracotta Division are also too late. β
"Brother Qiao, you are also a member of our Five Cities Terracotta Division."
Su Yuan is a newly released martial champion this year, and was sent by His Majesty to serve as the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Although Qiao Xuan was still studying in Liuli Academy, he had already begged the emperor's uncle to let him serve as the deputy governor of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.
He's a vice governor who is very idle, but he can't go.
On the other side, Gu Yue'er climbed into the room through the window, wiped off a piece of black ash from her forehead with a handkerchief, changed her clothes back, put the wet clothes into the baggage, and prepared to take them back to the ancient mansion to be washed.
As soon as she finished finishing, she heard someone knocking on the door, "Miss, I'm Ah Xi." β
Gu Yue'er opened the latch and handed the burden to Ah Xi, "It's not too early, let's hurry up and go back to Fengming Town." β
A donkey and a horse walk on the street, the donkey in front, the horse in the back, you just look at it and you will find that the little donkey in front is much more arrogant than the tall horse in the back.
