Chapter 439: On Fire
Fire
In the dead of night, in the Gu family's big house, people have already slept, perhaps because the Gu family is on the outskirts of the city, it is extremely quiet at night.
Shi Sheng was lying in bed, sleeping a little dazed, there were so many things that happened these days, and he would always wake up in nightmares at night. She even felt like she was about to have a nervous breakdown.
She was bored lying on the bed and flipped through her phone for a while, and habitually flipped to Gu Yueqing's circle of friends, but his circle of friends was still empty as usual. Yes, how could a cold man like him do that kind of little girl's thing.
When he couldn't hold it anymore, Shi Sheng was willing to close his eyes and sleep.
Yan Momo waited in her room until late at night, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, which could suddenly appear and harm people anytime and anywhere.
After making up her mind, she carefully arranged everything in Gu's house without being discovered. Everything was as if it were an ordinary and peaceful night.
When the flames spread, red flowers swept through every part of the Gu family's mansion, and the delicate retro murals and the high-quality curtains of the cloth were all swallowed by the red flowers and turned into gray smoke.
The tongue of fire engulfed the Gu family's floor house, making a terrible sound of "crunch, crunch", and it turned from a small spark into a raging fire, and it only took a few minutes. People who are asleep are automatically blocked from perceiving dangers in the outside world.
Shi Sheng, who had just fallen asleep, heard the sound outside, and turned over in a daze, she dreamed that she was in a closed room, someone was burning wood to make water in the room, and the firewood made a "crunch, crunch" sound, and even a little staggering, she dreamed that she was struggling in her dream, but she could not escape her fate, and finally was buried in the fire by a beam.
No, if it were a dream, it wouldn't have such a real smoky taste.
Shi Sheng woke up from her sleep, wisps of smoke drifted in through the crack in her bedroom door, Shi Sheng was startled and bounced up from the bed.
Yan Momo looked at the sins she had done in front of her, she began to panic, she didn't know, she just wanted to put a small fire, just learned from the people in the TV series to sprinkle some fire primers, the kind that is easy to be found and can be extinguished quickly, but she didn't expect that it may be because she didn't control the amount well, and the fire became bigger and bigger within her uncontrollable range.
"What to do... What am I going to do... ”
She looked at everything in front of her with a little horror, the fire spread from under the curtain to the ceiling, she raised her hand to cover her delicate face, this is her only capital, the first thing that popped up in Yan Momo's mind was to escape.
Yes, none of this has anything to do with me! It's all Shi Sheng... It's all Shi Sheng's fault!
Thinking of this, Yan Momo hurriedly returned to her room, and just wanted to run outside with her things, but happened to meet Shi Sheng who came out of the room.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Shi Sheng went out, she saw Yan Momo, she was looking flustered and wanted to run downstairs, Shi Sheng walked forward quickly, and was about to be on the spot
Yan Momo, who was about to escape, grabbed it.
"You... I..."
Yan Momo saw that she was discovered by Shi Sheng, she looked at Shi Sheng with a messy expression, stammering and not knowing what to say, her eyes glanced at the flames behind Shi Sheng, a year flashed from her mind, and quickly broke free of Shi Sheng's hand, ran to the middle of the stairs and tore her throat and shouted:
"Come on! It's on fire... Shi Sheng set fire! ”
"Someone, it's on fire..."
Yan Momo's sharp voice echoed in the empty Gu family's mansion.
Before Shi Sheng could react, Yan Momo had already shouted, she stood in place and was stunned for a second, then stepped forward and slapped Yan Momo in the face:
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
It's just a big joke, what kind of fire is you setting in the Gu family when you are idle?
However, what Shi Sheng didn't expect was that Steward Li woke up when he heard the movement outside, and he rushed out of the room and saw the scene that had just happened.
The servants of the Gu family also walked out of the room one after another, everyone's faces were hazy and did not wake up, but when their eyes fell on the blazing fire on the second floor, their faces showed a frightened expression.
The butler didn't care how the fire burned at this time, he was only wearing a pair of pajama pants, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him
Downstairs maids:
"Hurry up and put out the fire for me! What are you still doing there? Waiting to be burned?! ”
The housekeeper woke up the people downstairs with a loud voice, and they hurriedly shuttled through the room in a panic, looking for tools to extinguish the fire.
The whole Gu family was in chaos, probably because the windows were still open for ventilation, and the wind outside blew in from the windows, turning into a wind through the hall, bringing the fire bigger and bigger, and it was about to be uncontrollable.
Shi Sheng looked at the people upstairs and downstairs, she just wanted to go to the kitchen to find water, but she didn't see Mrs. Gu.
"Where's Auntie? Where did Auntie go?! Shi Sheng ran to the butler and asked the butler loudly.
The housekeeper was originally focused on extinguishing the fire, but after hearing what Shi Sheng said, he also realized this problem.
"Didn't Madame come out?!"
The housekeeper frowned and looked around, and sure enough, he didn't find Mrs. Gu's figure, he turned around a little anxiously, looked at Shi Sheng and asked.
Hearing the butler's answer, Shi Sheng ignored him angrily, and ran back to the second floor from the first floor in a hurry, but the entrance to the second floor was about to be flooded by the fire, and the housekeeper followed Shi Sheng to chase him up and saw the dangerous scene in front of him.
"Madame... Madame, where are you?! ”
The butler looked at the corridor at the entrance of the second floor and shouted, the fire and smoke filled the entire corridor, and neither of them could see the situation inside, but people couldn't get in, so he had to do it outside the corridor in a hurry.
"It's... How that should be! ”
After not hearing Mrs. Gu's response for a long time, the housekeeper had no idea for a while, he frowned and wanted to take a step forward, but found that the stairs had begun to crumble.
"Why don't you go to the police and what are you doing here?! Auntie is still inside, we can't just let it go, you go to the police, I'll figure it out! ”
After speaking, Shi Sheng rushed to the first floor, found a bedroom where the servant lived, rushed into it and lifted off a thick layer of quilt on the bed, ran to the kitchen as fast as he could, and then returned to the second floor.
The housekeeper looked at Shi Sheng's back a little stunned, and only after Shi Sheng rushed into the fire in the corridor on the second floor did he react and go back to find the phone to report the fire.
Shi Sheng was covered in a thick quilt, and she tried her best to avoid the dangerous objects that fell from being burned into charcoal, and tried to discern this direction in the smoke-filled corridor.
Shi Sheng, choked on the thick smoke, was a little out of breath, she covered the corner of the wet quilt on her mouth and nose, and tried to hold her breath, only then did she feel a little better.
Although wrapped in a thick quilt, she could still feel the temperature of the tongue of fire around her licking behind her, but she could still bear it, Shi Sheng endured the pain, walked over in the direction she remembered, and finally found the door of Mrs. Gu's room in a sea of fire.
Mrs. Gu's room was tightly closed, and Shi Sheng reached out to touch the iron doorknob, but found that the doorknob was frighteningly hot, and Shi Sheng retracted his fingers like an electric shock.
"Shhhh ”
Shi Sheng sighed in pain, she had to put the quilt on her fingertips and rotate the doorknob as fast as she could.
When he opened the room, Shi Sheng could hardly see the contents inside, and the entire bedroom was already filled with black smoke, but it may be that the quality of the door is relatively good, and the flames have not yet extended into Mrs. Gu's room.
Shi Sheng stepped over the not-so-big flames at the door and rushed to Mrs. Gu's bed, only to see Mrs. Gu's eyes closed tightly, and her breathing seemed to be a little short.
"Auntie, Auntie, wake up, the Gu family is on fire... ”
Seeing that Mrs. Gu didn't wake up, Shi Sheng thought that she was still asleep, and stretched out his hand to shake Mrs. Gu's shoulder a few times.
But Mrs. Gu still lay there indifferently, without even moving her eyelids a few times.
"Auntie!"
Seeing that Mrs. Gu didn't react, Shi Sheng panicked, she hurriedly saw the quilt on her body thrown on the ground, stretched out a finger and carefully probed under Mrs. Gu's nose...
And a faint breath!
A faint air flow sprayed on Shi Sheng's fingers, and a big stone in Shi Sheng's heart fell to the ground in an instant, she wanted to shake Mrs. Gu awake and rush out of the room together, but looking at Mrs. Gu's appearance, it seemed that she had passed out.
"Crunch... ”
Just when Shi Sheng was struggling and didn't know what to do next, there was a sudden sound of wood breaking behind her, Shi Sheng looked back and saw with some panic that the door frame of Mrs. Gu's bedroom door was crumbling and about to fall.
The fire has spread from under the door frame to above, if you don't leave quickly now, you probably won't be able to get out for a while, besides, this is the second floor, Mrs. Gu is in a coma, even if she runs from the second floor, she can't be thrown down from the upper floor...
Thinking of this, Shi Sheng knew that she had no time to hesitate, she looked at Mrs. Gu, who was still unconscious on the bed, picked up the quilt on the ground and draped it on her body, and then gently helped Mrs. Gu on the bed up, and she used all her strength to help Mrs. Gu out of bed.
