Chapter 297: It's important to save people
"Come on! The academy is on fire! "Some people passing by saw the smoke outside, and when they opened the door, they saw a raging fire inside, enclosing the whole house, and a few students who were lucky enough to run out were also covered in injuries, and their clothes were burned into hole after hole.
The movement outside quickly attracted Li Luobing's attention. Li Luobing, who was next door, was talking to his master, and the servant hurriedly ran in, his face full of anxiety.
"Master, it's not good, the academy is on fire!"
"Fire?" Although the master was still sick, he immediately turned over and sat up when he heard the news.
"Yes, the people outside are helping to put out the fire, and someone has already gone to Dali Temple to report to the official." After the servant talked about Dali Temple, he remembered that Li Luobing was also here, and she was a person from Dali Temple.
"There is no one in Dali Temple except for some guards now, King Yan has entered the palace again, I will go and see it now, Master, you just stay here." After Li Luobing finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave with Qiaosu, who knew that the master also got up and put on his robe and was about to go out.
"You should recuperate now." Li Luobing persuaded the master. He didn't even drink the medicine now, and he couldn't last long on his own willpower.
"There is such a big thing in the academy, how can I, as a master, recuperate with peace of mind. Say no more, come with me! After the master had sorted out his things, he led a group of people directly into the courtyard of the academy through the back door of his house.
At this time, many people were already holding buckets to extinguish the fire, but because it was discovered too late, the fire was too big to extinguish in a short time.
"Princess Yan!" Guo Dong, who had just been called over by the people from Dali Temple, saw Li Luobing, and hurriedly ran to his side.
"My subordinates have already asked people to go to the palace to find His Royal Highness, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen here, the fire outside is difficult to extinguish, and there are still many students trapped in the house." Guo Dong briefly told Li Luobing about the situation here, and when he heard that almost two-thirds of the people in the room had not come out, Li Luobing was also startled.
"How can there be so many!"
"There are still some people who desperately run out, and when the fire starts, everyone finds that there is no way to get out of the house." Guo Dong said to Li Luobing in a heavy tone.
"Don't care so much about it first, hurry up and put out the fire, it's important to save people, you can ask people to go to the security hall to call a few people, after a while, there will definitely be a lot of injured people here, and I can't be busy at all." After Li Luobing finished instructing Guo Dong, he also lifted the bucket and joined the crowd of people who put out the fire.
One of the people filled a bucket full of water, and was about to carry it when he noticed a thin figure who picked up the bucket before him and walked towards the burning house.
"Princess Yan?" He noticed that this person was Princess Yan who had tried the case with King Yan in Dali Temple before, but he didn't expect that a weak woman from her would also come to such a dangerous place. Later, the people next to him also discovered Li Luobing's figure, and when they saw Li Luobing also carrying a bucket and walking towards the burning place regardless of the danger, everyone instantly had motivation.
Princess Yan's noble status is still the same as these people, so they should work harder to save people.
"Quick, hurry up and fetch water!" A crowd shouted, buckets of water were lifted up and splashed on the burning house, and with everyone's efforts, the fire gradually decreased.
Everyone was a little happy to see that the fire had decreased, and a few bold people were ready to go in directly to save people, but before they could get to the front, the house collapsed, and this change caught everyone off guard. If there was still hope for the people inside to survive just now, then now that the house has collapsed, everyone's hearts are cold.
Let's not talk about those who are hit, even if they are not hit, they may be scalded. Everyone was anxious when they saw the house collapse, some of them were looking for tools to prepare to enter the ruins to save people, and the other part was still splashing water to cool down the temperature here and give those students a hope of survival.
Li Luobing was already a little exhausted at this time, she put down the bucket in her hand, gasping for breath, she ran too fast when she was just fighting the fire, her whole hair had been scattered, plus sweat and smoke, her face was black. She looked up at the people around her, and they were just like herself.
"Luo Bing!" When Li Luobing stretched out his arm and was about to go to the collapsed house, he heard Chu Ruoyao's voice. She turned around, and Chu Ruoyan had just run in from the door.
"Are you alright?" Chu Ruoyan had just left the palace gate when he met the guards who were about to enter the palace to report the news, he heard that the academy was on fire, and immediately rushed over, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Luobing with an embarrassed face, and thought she was injured in something.
"I'm fine." Li Luobing looked at Chu Ruoyao, who looked nervous, and smiled at him.
"The guards and the people have already put out the fire, but the house of the academy has collapsed, and many people are buried inside." Li Luobing gestured with his eyes, "Now people are carefully lifting people out. ”
Chu Ruoyan followed Li Luobing's gaze, people were carefully looking for the ruins, and from time to time some injured students were brought out from inside, some of them were quite conscious and knew how to cry, but more people had no breath at all, and even their appearance was burned and they couldn't be recognized. And the people who came from the security hall were also stunned by the scene in front of them.
"Have you brought everything?" Li Luobing ran forward and asked Li Yi. After she knew that there was a fire here, she had already asked people to bring all the burn medicine in the security hall.
"I've brought it, but there's only so much left of our security hall." Li Yi, Li Long, and Mo Shi and others, each carrying a big burden, which was filled with all kinds of bottles and cans.
"There's no way, save people first, and then you can go to other medical centers to find similar ointments in a while, looking at the situation here, these things are far from enough." After Li Luobing finished speaking, he took a few people to the injured students, while Chu Ruoyan went to the ruins with the people and guards, and carried the people who were pressed below out one by one.
Li Luobing walked up to a lightly injured student and asked, "I am Princess Yan and a member of the Security Hall, you have to tell me truthfully if I ask you, do you know?" She said as she pulled out the ointment.
"Roll up your sleeves first!" The student was not too injured and ran out of the house as soon as he noticed the fire, so there were only some burns on the front half of his arm.
Li Luobing picked out some ointment and rubbed it on his arm little by little, this person had been gritting his teeth because of the pain, until there was a cool feeling on his arm, and he was relieved.
"How the fire started, do you remember?" Li Luobing asked carefully. Such a big fire, and a place like the academy, could not have ignited on its own, most likely someone deliberately set fire to the academy and wanted to burn it.
"I don't remember exactly, I was closer to the door, and when I found that the fire was almost out of the way, I told the others to run quickly, and then I ran out of the danger of being burned, but as soon as I came out, the pillar on the door fell down, blocking the doorway. Results ......"
Li Luobing's hand paused, it seems that many people in the back were completely blocked in the room because of this.
"Who else ran out but you?"
"And them." The man pointed with his other, uninjured finger, not far away, where several students were leaning together, and although they also had burns, they were much better than those who died in the room.
Li Luobing nodded, picked up the medicine and walked over to the crowd on the other side, she kept shuttling among the injured students, first doing a simple treatment of their skin, and then it could only be sent to various nearby medical centers, and her own security hall could not accept so many people at the same time, whether it was medicine or place.
People were in a hurry for a long time, and finally carried out all the people in the ruins. A rough count showed that only those who had escaped at first survived, and the rest were burned alive in their houses because of the collapse of their houses and the raging fires. The academy is now in chaos, not only the voices of students wailing in pain, but also the family members who have rushed to the school after receiving the news.
It was very difficult for them to accept this scene in front of them, they had originally come to the academy to familiarize themselves with the books of the sages, but now they died in the academy like this. Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao also felt shocked when they looked at the corpses on the ground one after another, this is probably the biggest thing that has happened to Izumo Province in recent years.
"I have already asked people to notify the surrounding medical centers, and I will immediately carry these injured people to the nearby medical centers, and if there is no place for the medical center, it will be in the room where the academy has not been destroyed, and ask Lang Zhong to come and treat them, and there are also some minor injuries who want to return to their own homes." After Chu Ruoqi finished instructing the guards, he came to Li Luobing's side and said.
Li Luobing nodded, now he can only do this first, the injured are fine, but those who died unjustly must have an explanation.
"I have to tell the emperor about this matter immediately, I can't make my own decision on such a big matter." Chu Ruoyan looked at the busy crowd around her and sighed. I just came back from the palace, and now I want to enter the palace again, and I still bring such bad news, I don't know how Chu Zhuangyan will behave when he learns about it.
"You take care of this academy, no one here can run around, the fire is not ignited so easily, there must be someone making trouble in it." Chu Ruoyao instructed a few guards, and the guards nodded after hearing this, and guarded all the exits of the academy. After seeing that the guards were guarded, Chu Ruoyao patted Li Luobing's shoulder and hurriedly left the academy again.
