Chapter 17 – Escape from the Fire

Lan Yi rushed to Che's house, only to find that the situation was not good, the raging fire spread into the sky, accompanied by fierce and choking smoke, tongues of fire licked around the roof of Che's house.

The other villagers of the small fishing village were fighting to put out the fire, and buckets of water were thrown into the Che's house, but the fire was as fierce as a huge wave, and this little water was nothing under the huge tongue of fire.

Lan Yi hurriedly grabbed a little brother next to him and asked, "How is the Che family?" Did you come out unharmed? ”

The little brother said: "I haven't seen a figure yet, I'm afraid it's already ......."

"Impossible! They'll be fine, especially Cheerilee! She is so kind, how can God be willing to take her away! Lan Yi said and rushed into the fire regardless of his personal danger.

"Hey, young man, you can't go in, aren't you looking for death?" The little brother wanted to grab Lan Yi, but his strength was not as strong as his, so Lan Yi still broke free from his hand and ran into the smoky car.

"Cheerilee! Uncle and aunt! Senior Brother Yuechi! Lan Yi shouted as hard as he could, and the rising black smoke was so big that he couldn't breathe, so he had to take a towel and wet it with water, cover his mouth and nose, and squatted down to lean forward.

But because the fire was too fierce and the smoke was billowing around, Lan Yi did not find the Che family in the first place. But he had been scorching in the flames, and he felt like his skin was about to crack and burn.

Cheerilee and they were anxious in the house, a little panicked, but Cheerilee was alert, and said to the father and mother and Master Mo: "We wet the cuffs with tea, cover our nostrils, and try not to breathe in the smoke." So the father and the others did the same.

Only the idiot Che Yuechi stood there stupidly: "Okay, good, so choking." The mother pulled Yue'er over and gave a handkerchief wet with tea to Che Yuechi to cover her mouth and nose, but the unexpectedly Che Yuechi tried her best to resist, mistakenly thinking that the mother was going to cover herself, "Mother, mother, don't cover Yue'er." ”

Che Yuechi knocked the handkerchief to the ground in the struggle, and the ensuing puff of smoke choked Che Yuechi's throat, and his eyes were also smoky, and he blinked his eyes and shed tears while coughing violently.

Worried that Che Yuechi, who was mentally unsound, would have an accident, Che's father and mother said intermittently to Master Mo in the thick smoke: "Old Mo, take Yue'er with you first, take it away, he is like a child now, and he can't figure out the situation." Ahem. ”

Although Master Mo was already too busy to take care of himself, he still agreed: "Okay, good." ”

"Yue'er, follow me." Saying that, Master Mo grabbed Che Yuechi's shoulder and dragged him to the door of the house, and Che Yuechi looked disobedient.

"Don't go, I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with the fairy wife." Che Yuechi muttered and was choked with tears again.

"You go with the master first, and the fairy wife will come later." Master Mo took Che Yuechi and prepared to take him out of the fire.

"You go first, Brother Yuechi, I'll arrive later, don't worry." Cheerilee persuades the stubborn Che Yuechi.

"Okay, little fairy wife, I'll wait for you." So Master Mo and Che Yuechi first wrapped a soaked quilt and hit it for a long time before they hit the nailed window and were able to escape.

"Dad, mother, squat down quickly, I'll find you a quilt." Cheerilee let out a heavy snort from the sleeve that covered her mouth and nose.

"Don't, Cheerilee, don't look for it, let's get out of the window that your Uncle Mo knocked open, don't wait." The mother was so choked that she was almost speechless.

Just as the three of them crawled to the window, Cheerilee suddenly thought of something and turned back.

"Cheerilee, are you crazy?" The father yelled.

The father and mother of the car hurriedly turned back and grabbed Cheerilee, "Daddy, don't pull me, my dowry jade pendant and the bracelet that Lan Yi gave me are still there, and they are still in the cabinet." "Cheerilee wants to rush into the fire.

"Don't go, Cheerilee, we'll get it for you." As the three of them continued to pull, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and it was about to jump to the tip of their noses.

The old man asked Cheerilee and the mother to go first, and went to get the jade pendant and bracelet for Cheerilee, and finally got it through a sea of fire.

Suddenly, a burned-off beam fell from the top of the trio's heads, "Good girl, be careful. The old man pushed the cherry away, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and the beam smashed on the back of the old man car impartially, and his body suddenly couldn't stand such a weight and collapsed to the ground. The beam was heavily pressed on the old man's back, and he couldn't move no matter how much he wanted to.

"Daddy!"

"Husband!"

"Li'er, wife......" The old man who was smashed called his daughter and wife lightly.

It just so happened that Lan Yi rushed over at this time, and he was stunned by the scene of the old man in front of him being smashed.

Cheerilee and the mother kept calling the father in the sea of fire, and the father saw Lan Yi with the little strength he had left and said to Lan Yi: "I'm fast, I'm almost gone, don't call their mother and daughter over, take them away." And this is Li'er's jade pendant and the bracelet you left her. Lan Yi, you won't blame me for losing my temper with you before, right? ”

Lan Yi was also stunned, and when he saw it in the firelight, he could only vaguely distinguish that Old Man Che's face had been blackened, and he covered his mouth and nose hard to prevent tears from falling: "Uncle Che, I have never blamed you." ”

"It's worthy of my godson, so quickly, take them away!" Saying that, the old man fell into a long coma and was unconscious.

Then Lan Yi crossed the sea of fire and linked the jade pendant in the hand of the father of the car with his hand, and touched the snort of the father of the car with one hand, and he was already out of breath. So Lan Yi carefully crossed the sea of fire and came to Cheerilee and Che's mother.

"How's my dad doing? How's it going?! Cheerilee asked urgently, shaking Lan Yi's shoulder.

"Uncle Che, he's out of breath......" Although Lan Yi's voice at this moment was weak, it was like a jack of mallets smashed on the poor mother and daughter.

When the mother heard this, she wanted to pounce on the other side of the fire: "I'm not alive, the old car is dead, and I'm not alive either!" Fortunately, he was pulled by Lan Yi in time.

"Auntie, people can't be resurrected after death, by the way, Cheerilee and Brother Yuechi have already lost an Uncle Che, and if they lose you, what will you do with them?" Lan Yi seriously analyzed for Aunt Che.

Cheerilee was in tears all the time, almost fainting from crying.

"Let's go, let's go, ahem." After Lan Yi said this, he pulled the mother and Cheerilee to the window, and the two first let the mother climb out of the previous window with a chair, and just as Cheerilee was about to pass through the window, a fire burst from the edge of the window panel and burned to Cheerilee's left cheek, "My face!" I only heard Cheerilee exclaim and stepped on the air, and fell into the arms of the car mother outside the window, Lan Yi hurriedly jumped out of the window when she heard it.

I saw Cheerilee covering her left cheek with her hand, while saying, "Dad is gone, my face is burned again, mother, what should we do?" ”

Cheerilee turned her head and saw Lan Yi jumping out of the window, Lan Yi saw Cheerilee covering her left cheek, looking dodging, and asked her worriedly: "Cheerilee, what's wrong with you, were you burned?" As he spoke, he reached forward and reached for the hand that covered the left cheek of the cherry.

Cheerilee knew that she was disfigured, so how could she be embarrassed to let him see her ugly side in front of the person she liked, so she shouted: "Lan Yi, don't come here!" ”

Lan Yi just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by this sound, and did not step forward again, he knew that Cheerilee had just suffered the pain of losing his father, and he was hit on the cheek by the tongue of fire, so he naturally felt bad in his heart.

Cheerilee lost her loved ones at the moment, and was disfigured by fire, she even wanted to die, she didn't know how to face life in the future, how to face her brother and Lan Yi.

At this moment, the entire Che family's house toppled in the fire, and Lan Yi pounced on it to knock down the cherries, so that the cherries were saved from being smashed by the collapsed house tiles.

At this moment, Lan Yi saw that the left side of Cheerilee's face under him was burned red, and his skin was already charred.

Seeing Lan Yi seeing her left cheek, Cheerilee pushed Lan Yi away violently, and stood up tremblingly: "Lan Yi, since you have seen it and know that I am an ugly bastard, you can go." ”

"Why should I go?"

"My house has been burned to the ground, and I am also disfigured, so there is no point in you staying here." Cheerilee's tears rolled down beneath her fluttering eyelashes.

"No, I'm not leaving, even if you have no home and are disfigured, I don't care, I like you." As she spoke, Lan Yi hugged Cheerilee, whose left cheek had been burned, into her arms, giving her endless comfort. And this time Cheerilee didn't struggle again.

"Do you really still like me?" Cheerilee sobbed.

"Really." Lan Yi stroked Cheerilee's hair with her hand and kissed her deeply on the forehead.

"Lan Yi, actually, I ......" Cheerilee in Lan Yi's arms gradually stopped crying.

"Cheerilee, what are you?"

"Actually, actually, actually, I like you." Cheerilee buried her head in Lan Yi's arms and chirped.

"Cheerilee, what did you say, you said you liked me? Didn't you say that your liking has always been your brother? ”

The mother on the side spoke: "That's what Cheerilee said in order to repay us." ”

"I had guessed that this was the case, but later Cheerilee's tone made me mistakenly think that she really liked Senior Brother Yuechi." After Lan Yi touched his head, he hugged the cherry in his arms tighter.

"You two, you have gone through so much to exchange affection with each other, I really don't want to say anything anymore, even if the old car is knowledgeable, he will agree to the two of you being together." The mother said lightly.

At this time, Cheerilee and Lan Yi both looked at each other, and shed tears of sadness and joy.

"Am I ugly?" Cheerilee kept touching her injured left cheek and looked down to ask Lan Yi.

"It's not ugly, it's not ugly, you are also a little fairy in Lan Yi's heart, a fairy forever and ever, you are a cinnabar mole in my heart, no one can erase it." Lan Yi smiled at Cheerilee, his smile was like a plum blossom in the snow, revealing a light fragrance.

"Little fairy?" When she thinks of the little fairy, Cheerilee thinks of her brother Yuechi.

"By the way, Yue'er should have been taken back to the Mo family by Master Mo." The mother said.

"I'm going to see my brother." Cheerilee wiped the tears from the corners of her blackened eyes, "By the way, Lan Yi, you can go with us." ”

"Okay."

After a long time, the fire was finally extinguished, and Chejia was left in ruins. The villagers saw Cheerilee, Che's mother and Lan Yi standing in a clearing, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the old man?" ”

As soon as she heard her father who died in the fire, Cheerilee's tears flowed down uncontrollably, "My father, he didn't escape." It's just to get me the dowry jade pendant and the bracelet that Lan Yi gave me that will cause an accident, I'm a sinner. ”

"Kid, don't talk about yourself, this is what you don't expect." A few villagers comforted Cheerilee.

"Speaking of jade pendants and bracelets, cheerilee, both of these things are for you."

Cheerilee asked puzzled, "Now that you're not leaving, don't you have to give it to me?" ”

Lan Yi said: "This is a token of love for my sweetheart." As he spoke, he placed the bracelet in the palm of Cheerilee's hand.

Cheerilee took the bracelet in her hand and looked at it in the moonlight, the platinum bracelet glittered in the moonlight, shimmering with dazzling brilliance, and then Cheerilee saw a letter "F" on the chain of the bracelet.

"Lan Yi, look, this bracelet is engraved with the letter 'F'."

"yes, I'll take a look." Lan Yi took the bracelet and looked at the chain, and sure enough, there was an F that was not easy to look at.

Suddenly, some memory fragments jumped up again, and Lan Yi shook his head, and the bracelet in his hand fell to the ground.

"Lan Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Yi froze, the memory fragments dispersed again, and he smiled: "It's nothing. "Stoop down to pick up the bracelet on the ground.

At this moment, Lan Yi and Cheerilee had just revealed their hearts to each other, he thought about this moment for a long time, he would rather never recall the past and be her Lan Yi forever. The moment she bent down, Cheerilee didn't see that his eyes were moist.
