Chapter 9: The Fire

Ning Shu suddenly crumpled the freshly written paper into a ball and threw it into a paper basket full of paper balls.

Thinking about it, a thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, can she pay it off in this life?

The more I wrote, the more irritated I became, so I simply stopped writing.

Pick up the one you just wrote from the paper basket, flatten the paper with your hands, and fold it neatly.

When I walked out of the room, I saw the sunset molten gold, and the red glow stained half of the sky......

Zhao Mansion.

Xuan Feng arched his hand and reported to Xie Yunyan: "Master, everyone in the Yu Mansion has investigated, and the only one who can have a chance to get close to the general sentence and poison him is the little guy who followed him that night. The person has been restrained and interrogated, and he seems to be unaware. ”

Xie Yunyan stood in front of the door, looked at the golden clouds floating in the west, and bowed slightly: "Continue to investigate, don't miss any details." ”

"Yes."

Xuan Feng was about to retreat, but unexpectedly, Xie Yunyan walked straight out of the door, "You come with me." ”

He said that he would send someone to collect the IOU in the evening, and then set off, and it should be dark almost in the west of the city.

Sitting in the scarlet canopy carriage, he twisted his fingers boredly.

Can she afford a thousand taels of gold? Aren't you going to play the trick of paying off your debts?

The thin lips were slightly raised, and he changed his hand to drag his cheeks, and enjoyed the street scene through the carriage window, and the mood was inexplicably light.

Wrong!

If the girl of the Ning family really had an uneasy mind, she should not have fled from the Zhao Mansion that night.

He even left ten taels of silver!

Retracting his gaze, a gloomy depression lingered in the car.

Xie Yunyan wandered outside the world, and the carriage had already arrived in front of the Ning family's small courtyard. Xuan Feng said outside: "Master, is this here?" ”

Xie Yunyan pinched his eyebrows tangledly, and finally stayed in the car.

"Well, the third courtyard on the left, you just have to go in and find Miss Ning."

"Yes."

Xuan Feng didn't doubt him, and he turned around and walked towards the small courtyard.

On the dilapidated courtyard gate, the original dark red primer was washed by wind and rain, mottled.

He was thinking about when his master had become acquainted with such a refugee family, when the small courtyard reflected in his pupils suddenly flashed, and the golden-red fire filled the sky, more dazzling than the sunset on the horizon.

Xuan Feng's body reacted faster than his brain, and he immediately stepped forward and rushed into the courtyard gate.

"Let's go to the water! Oh no! Come on! ”

Poria choked on the smoke, and she paced anxiously in the courtyard, her crying voice engulfed by the crackling fire, and no one heard it.

was running out to find someone, a black man instantly rushed into the courtyard gate, Poria didn't know whether this person was good or bad, grabbed his arm tightly and cried: "My young lady and masters are all in the house, please save them!" ”

Xuan Feng glanced at the fire, and was about to step forward, when a dark figure flashed around him like the wind.

He hurriedly scolded Poria and said, "How can I save people if you pull me?" ”

Poria was so frightened that her hands loosened, her hands folded, and she knelt on the ground and prayed to Xuanfeng's back as if worshipping Buddha.

"Lord Heaven, bless everyone......

The family was having dinner, and Feng's had a large amount of food during pregnancy, and a bowl of rice was obviously not enough.

At that time, Poria was closest to the door, and when she was instructed by her master, she went to the kitchen to get food. I don't want to just come out of the kitchen and the room is on fire.

A dilapidated house that leaks rain continuously in the summer, and there are many small holes in the roof beams that have been pecked by insects and ants, where can it withstand the sweep of the fire?

Poria could only pray that the hero could save his masters.

Inside the house, the gray smoke was like mist, and Ning Zhao stood in front of the Feng family and Ning Shu, thinking about how to deal with it.

"Ahem, ahem, leave me alone, you guys go out first." Feng Shi spoke with difficulty.

At this time, a beam of the house was burned and broken by the fire and fell uncontrollably.

"Bang dang!"

Ning Shu suddenly turned around and hugged Feng in her arms and pushed towards the wall behind her.

Ning Zhao hugged the two of them in his arms, protected them in front of his chest, and the broken wooden beam smashed firmly on his left shoulder.

"Xianggong!"

"Big brother!"

Feng Shi panicked and slapped out the sparks on his shoulder, and the splashed flames rushed towards Ning Shu like quenched poisonous minions, her expression was in a trance, and the whole person seemed to have returned to the night of the sacrifice.

"Ahh

Ning Shu squatted down with her back against the wall, her eyes were a little confused, she covered her ears with her hands, shook her head like crazy and roared, "Don't, don't!" ”

Her vision turned from hazy to clear, and through the firelight curtain, she seemed to see several elders smiling sadly at her.

Behind the group of elders, Wu Tan, who was dressed in white, had a happy look in his eyes.

Wu Tan, but her most gentle and kind little sister, Ning Shu looked at Wu Tan's smiling face dumbfounded, and the tears lingering in her eyes finally burst out......

"Why?"

Ning Shu looked at Wu Tan walking towards her figure, and asked Wu Tan hysterically, "Why you?" ”

Xie Yunyan was stunned when asked, the room was full of smoke, and it was easy to find someone, she was actually very dissatisfied with her appearance?

"Let's go out first."

The cold sound was like a stream between springs, extinguishing the scorching heat of the fire, and Ning Shu's sanity gradually returned.

When she saw the tall figure like a god in front of her, her expression was slight, and her autumn-like eyes were full of endless sadness.

"How are you?"

Xie Yunyan: ......

Ignoring Ning Shu's strange question, Xie Yunyan looked around, and in the smoke, he could vaguely see that Xuan Feng was supporting Mrs. Ning to dodge the flames left and right, moving towards the door.

He casually grabbed Ning Shu's arm and pressed it against the corner of the wall and was about to act, only to hear Ning Shu grab his arm and pray: "Save my sister-in-law first!" ”

The girl's originally white cheeks were gray and abrupt at the moment, and the messy hair was scattered in front of her forehead, and there were even thin teardrops in her crimson eyes, obviously looking pitiful as a frightened bird.

And yet, she was begging him to save her first?

Xie Yunyan turned his eyes to look at the Feng clan on the side, no longer hesitated, and let go of Ning Shu's hand.

Ning Zhao didn't know martial arts, but it was still okay to protect someone, and he proposed: "Lord Xie, please save the little sister first, and Neiko won't bother the adult." ”

At the moment when the fire just broke out, Ning Zhao thought about covering the Feng clan to walk out of the room first.

But I was still worried about Ning Shu in my heart, so I delayed.

He didn't know why, but he just believed that Xie Yunyan would rescue Ning Shu.

After that, Ning Zhao no longer procrastinated, carefully held the Feng clan, and moved towards the door step by step, avoiding the flames.

Xie Yunyan had no choice but to look at Ning Shu, and he said, "If you refuse again, then I will leave!" ”

He swore that if he had known that he would encounter such a big fire, he would not have come to Ning's house today!

It's a big deal, the 1,000 taels of gold are gone, and he will feed the dog as his innocence!

Ning Shu coughed lightly twice, covered her mouth and nose and stood up, "Thank you." ”

The fire inside the house is getting more and more ferocious, and there is very little open space left for people to stay.

In desperation, Ning Zhao picked up the Feng clan and rushed out of the door.

The moment he stepped out of the flames, the door behind him was burned by the raging flames, and the whole room collapsed, accompanied by a deafening roar of thick black smoke.

"Shu'er !!"

The Ning family exclaimed in unison, Xuan Feng's eyes condensed, and he immediately wanted to fly into the firelight......
