Chapter 40: Here I Am

The last time there was a fire in Dongshan was more than fifty years ago, when the talented legendary woman Bai Mengying destroyed two mountains in a row to suppress the rampant demons.

On that occasion, a fire from the sky burned Budongshan for seven days and seven nights, and the downpour could not extinguish the mountain fire. Although it took only a few years for Budongshan to gradually recover, the local people have never dared to be careless for decades.

The late-night wildfires caused the town's residents to put on their clothes and walk out of their homes, and the cold streets soon became bustling. Many men gathered to go up the mountain to extinguish the fire, they carried the buckets of water at home, and some even picked up flat burdens, shouting loudly to recruit their companions to go to the mountain.

The town was in chaos, and the five wealthy merchants who had not yet left were also awakened, for fear that the mountain fire would spread and destroy the spring water and herbs in the forest, so they hurriedly sent their subordinates to follow the people into the mountain to extinguish the fire.

Just when the people were panicking, two figures, one white and one green, hurried from outside the dark town, followed by dozens of uniformly dressed masked people, rushing in the direction of Budongshan in a hurry.

Ignoring the many figures talking on the street, Qiu Yan quickly passed through and rushed directly to the direction of the fire.

Ye Shiyuan didn't stop at all, only waved his hand and sent one person to inform the five merchants to appease the people, turned around and chased after Qiu Yan's back like a wind.

The mountain road in the dark was not easy to walk, but Qiu Yan's speed was not affected, and he went straight to the small courtyard with a familiar car.

"Sweet ......"

Qiu Yan stopped and looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and it was hard to believe that this was the small home they had lived in before.

In the skyrocketing fire, the ruins and broken walls continued to collapse, and billowing black smoke spread like a tide into the surrounding mountains and forests.

Fire and water were ruthless, and he couldn't see a single living figure when he stood outside.

"Childe!"

Ye Shiyuan, who rushed over, was also shocked, it was impossible for anyone to survive under such a fierce fire, even if he was not burned to death, he would definitely be choked by the smoke and suffocated.

"Find!"

Qiu Yan gritted his teeth and spit out a word, and the dozens of people behind him quickly scattered to search.

He was nervous, and all he could think of was Wen Tiantian crying and crying in the firelight.

"Sweet!"

"Wen Tiantian! Where are you!! ”

"Wen Tiantian!"

"Doctor Wen!"

Countless shouts were drowned out in the wind, skyrocketing fires whirred through the mountains and forests, and the occasional sound of houses collapsing could be heard in between.

"Sweet!"

Qiu Yan was in a desperate mood, stumbling and shouting desperately in the grove they frequented. The only remaining reason made him not rush into the burning courtyard, but walked to the woods where Wen Tiantian often picks mushrooms and wild vegetables. If Dong Xian doesn't rescue her, it is likely that she will hide in a hidden place nearby, and then lure the killers away and destroy them one by one.

"Autumn Yan ......"

The shallow voice was barely audible in the chaos, but he still caught it keenly, and his footsteps stopped instantly.

"Qiu Yan...... I...... ...... here"

Perceiving the direction of the voice, his gaze lit up as he caught a glimpse of a vague white figure.

"Sweet!"

His voice passed through countless noises, and Wen Tiantian struggled to hold up his eyelids to look at the white shadow who was rushing towards him.

She waited, and finally she waited!

"Sweet! Sweet! ”

Ye Shiyuan had never seen Fang Qiuyan in a panic like this in his life, this man who could not change his face before the collapse of Mount Tai was like a child at this time, he even forgot to use his martial arts, and only ran forward by himself.

Kneeling on one knee, he looked at the woman curled up in the grass covered in blood and did not dare to reach out for fear of touching her.

"Tiantian, I'm back."

took off her coat and carefully wrapped her around her, Qiu Yan's hands trembled and slowly helped her up and leaned against her arms.

"Qiu Yan...... Bun...... Save the bun ......"

Wen Tiantian was so weak that she couldn't say a complete sentence, so she could only tilt her head hard and whisper in his ear.

Baozi helped her break the door of the bedroom and ran out, she knew that the little guy would definitely not leave her alone, and must have gone to find the killers desperately.

There are many people on the other side, and Bai Mengying didn't see the figure of Baozi when he killed them one by one, and the child was probably already very lucky.

Wen Tiantian was worried, and wanted Qiu Yan to leave her alone and go to find her quickly. But at this time, Qiu Yan didn't care about anything else at all, and picked up Wen Tiantian and walked back immediately.

"Shi Yuan!"

Ye Shiyuan glanced at the woman in his arms, and said with understanding: "Understand, I will handle it here, and you will take Dr. Wen back to heal first." ”

"There's also a white fox around here, find it and bring it back."

"Yes."

Ye Shiyuan didn't need him to explain anything at all, and immediately scattered his people to search. Kill what should be killed, find what should be found, and his favorite thing to do is to mend the enemy's knife.

After Qiu Yan took Wen Tiantian and rode down the mountain, Ye Shiyuan looked at the fire and sighed in his heart.

Shi Tianming and Beiguan Cheng are really big things this time, Qiu Yan usually acquiesces to them tossing completely because of their relationship with the royal family, this murder and arson will make things bigger, it is already challenging Qiu Yan's bottom line, and he will never let it be appeased again.

"Hey, it's better to mix the rivers and lakes, the twists and turns of the court are not suitable for me."

Ye Shiyuan smiled bitterly, clutched his chest and began to look for the little fox who had not yet met with his subordinates.

When she hurried back to the mansion with Wen Tiantian in her arms, the maidservant who took care of Ye Shiyuan was already waiting at the door.

"Quick, check her injuries."

Qiu Yan didn't have time to say more, so she got off the horse and immediately ran to the house with someone in her arms, her face gloomy and terrifying.

Qiu Gongzi, who has always been gentle and kind, suddenly showed such a terrifying aura, so frightened that the little maid didn't even dare to breathe, and immediately followed behind and walked quickly into the house.

Putting Wen Tiantian on the bed, Qiu Yan stood aside and watched the female doctor help her do a detailed examination.

"Young Master Qiu, Dr. Wen's bones are not injured, his pulse is stable, and he is not worried about his life. Next, I'm going to strip her and check her to see if there are any external injuries on her body, so please avoid it. ”

The female doctor's words were gentle, and when she heard that Wen Tiantian was not worried about her life, Qiu Yan's heart was relieved.

"There's Dr. Law."

After speaking, he glanced at Wen Tiantian again, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

instructed the people in the house to boil hot water, and by the way, they helped Wen Tiantian prepare clean clothes and gauze, and even didn't forget to let people get some hemostatic medicine used by Ye Shiyuan.

After arranging everything, Qiu Yan did not go to the front hall to wait for news, but leaned against the railing of the corridor at the door of the bedroom and waited quietly.

The depressed aura around him made everyone who passed by him subconsciously stay away, he didn't say a word, but he could personally see that Qiu Gongzi was hovering on the verge of going berserk at this time, if Miss Wen had any situation, what kind of thing this man would do next, no one dared to imagine.

There was such a big thing in the town, many people saw Ye Shiyuan, who was riding his horse and rushing straight to Budongshan, and the people did not flee in a panic while talking about it, which was enough to see Ye Shiyuan's prestige in the town.

There are five businessmen in Budong Town who arrange manpower to appease the people, and Ye Shiyuan on the mountain leads people to find the little fox and investigate the murderer. On the way back with Wen Tiantian in his arms, he saw a large number of men who took the initiative to ask Ying to go to extinguish the fire, holding various tools and rushing to the mountain.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner in chaos, Qiu Yan stood outside the door and couldn't see eagerness, but his right hand with a clenched fist betrayed his mood at this time.

The female doctor has a lot of experience in practicing medicine, she not only takes care of Ye Shiyuan's daily life, but also usually treats small wounds for the people around her, reminding everyone to pay attention to their health.

Not long after the clothes and warm water were sent in, the door opened, and Qiu Yan immediately stepped up.

"How's it going, is she badly injured?"

The female doctor shook her head slightly, and said strangely: "I just wiped Dr. Wen's body and changed clothes, and I didn't find any traces of injuries on her body, but the nails on both hands were slightly worn, and a large amount of blood coagulated in the nails. ”

"Young Master Qiu, Dr. Wen should just suffer from the wind cold, and she is too excited and physically exertions to faint, let her sleep well and rest for a few days, it will be fine."

Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in thanks: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go see her." ”

As Qiu Yan walked to the bedside, the female doctor said softly: "Doctor Wen is sleeping very deeply, I'll go make some medicinal food for her." ”

"Okay, thank you."

The female doctor withdrew and brought the door with interest, so that the two of them could have a chance to be alone for a while.

Moving over the low stool and sitting on the edge of the bed, Qiu Yan picked up her hand and swayed carefully. There were still a few traces of blood left in the nails that could not be washed off.

"Autumn Yan ......"

After just a few months of getting along, Wen Tiantian seems to have regarded him as the only person she can rely on. Whether you are sick or trapped or have nightmares, the first person who comes to mind when you are in trouble is him, and the thoughts in your mouth are all about him.

Qiu Yan held her cold hand and slowly conveyed internal force to ward off the cold, and there was only the sound of two people's even and shallow breathing in the silent room.

Tiantian, what are you going to do if I'm gone?

Ye Shiyuan, who had been busy all night, finally rushed back to the house at dawn, he left all his men on the mountain to continue to extinguish the fire, and returned alone. Barely rushed to the gate, Ye Shiyuan finally couldn't hold it anymore holding his bleeding chest, and the whole person fell to the ground.

He snorted, tucked the fan into his waist, and stood up with one hand on the ground.

"Come on, Mr. Ye is back!"

The guard guarding the door immediately shouted when he saw that it was Ye Shiyuan, and in the next second, he saw half of his body stained red with blood, and he quickly stepped forward to help him in shock.

"Mr. Ye, your injury ......"

"Don't get in the way, help me find Mr. Qiu first."

Ye Shiyuan was so weak that he was trembling slightly when he spoke, he knew that he had lost too much blood and could not support it for too long, so he had to go and report the situation outside to Qiu Yan first before he could rest assured.

Feeling that Wen Tiantian's body was much warmer, Qiu Yan slowly withdrew her internal strength and sat quietly to breathe.

"Young Master Qiu, Mr. Ye is back and is waiting for you in the front hall."

"Got it."

Putting Wen Tiantian's arm back into the quilt, he raised his hand and touched her forehead, and then he put down his heart and walked out of the bedroom lightly.

As soon as I stepped into the antechamber, a smell of blood hit my face.

"Shi Yuan!"

One thing after another, Qiu Yan almost forgot that Ye Shiyuan's injury had not yet healed, so he kept running around with him, and finally the wound cracked and bled non-stop.

He sat topless in a chair, and the female doctor crouched in front of him to help him clean his wounds.

"Childe, I'm sorry, we searched the entire mountain forest and still couldn't find the white fox." Ye Shiyuan was afraid that he would faint, so he tried to hold his breath and speed up his speech and said, "The scope of the fire is very strange, it only burned the yard and houses and half of the grove, and it did not spread to the surroundings. Everyone fought all night to extinguish the fire, and I asked Zihe's people to lead the people to look for the remaining hidden dangers in the mountains, and they will come back after dealing with them. ”

"Are there any casualties?"

"No, everything went very well. Except for not finding the white fox, the other problems are almost solved, you can rest assured. In addition, the group of people who set the fire had no marks on them, and they were not any of their subordinates, and judging from the traces left at the scene, it was very likely that they came for Dr. Wen. ”

Qiu Yan didn't ask any more questions, Ye Shiyuan at this time needed to rest in bed immediately, talking more would only consume his energy.

"Will the bleeding from the wound stop?" He walked closer to inspect it carefully, and found that the recovery of the wound was not as good as expected, and coupled with the fatigue of today's travel, the wound that had healed was actually half cracked.

The female doctor was also very nervous, she had seen Ye Shiyuan's bleeding appearance, and it was easy to get better under the joint treatment of Qiu Yan and Wen Tiantian, and now Dr. Wen is unconscious and unable to perform acupuncture, and only Qiu Gongzi is afraid that he can't do anything about it.

"Childe, Mr. Ye's injury needs acupuncture to stop the bleeding and then suture, but Dr. Wen ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a pale woman appeared at the door, wrapped in a coat.

"I'll come."
