Chapter Twenty-Four: My Family Is Still Inside!
Chi Suihe heard the movement and opened the door and poked out half of his head: "Sister? ”
Chi Jiahe walked in while responding: "I haven't seen Lu Nian stay by your side today, what happened?" ”
"How can it-" Chi Suihe held her hand and dragged her voice coquettishly, "What else do you not know about me?" ”
Chi Jiahe was still not used to her sudden closeness, so he didn't answer, put the pastry in his hand on the table, took out the kettle and poured out the little water left in front of her.
"The abbot has sent someone to solve the water problem, you are tired of this trip, take a good rest first, and you will be able to bathe well later."
People up and down the house know that she has always loved cleanliness, and she cares about her appearance to an almost harsh degree, and she can't stand the slightest dirt.
I don't know if I'm afraid that she will make trouble and have a bad reputation, so Chi Jiahe also made a special trip to comfort her.
Chi Suihe made it clear by name, holding his chin indifferently, a pair of smart apricot eyes were not tired, blinking, and the bottom of his eyes was shining.
Chi Jiahe looked at her reaction, and suddenly said, "Sui He, since you got sick, it seems that you have changed a lot?" ”
In a firm tone, Chi Suihe's eyelashes were certain, puzzled and cautious: "Where has it changed?" ”
"I can't say it, I just feel that it's not the same as before."
"What's the difference, people, you always have to grow up, I was ignorant in the past, and I want to learn from my sister in the future, and everyone is really good."
She sat against the light, and said this with sincerity in her eyes, and she couldn't fault the slightest mistake.
Chi Jiahe stared silently for a long time, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Fortunately, she was not a person to get to the bottom of it, so she pushed the pastry in front of her.
"Okay, let's not talk about the side, is Sister hungry? Use some pastries to cushion your stomach, and today's meal may not be available until later. ”
When he withdrew his hand, he found that his sleeve was stained with some dust, and he raised his hand to get closer in confusion, "Why is the Baisheng Temple careless not to wipe the table this time, this smell...."
Chi Suihe sighed in his heart, came to her and patted her sleeve, pulled her away from the table, pulled out the handkerchief and brushed it on the table.
"Yes, when I just walked in, I was choked by the dust in the house and coughed, I don't know how long this house has been useless, Jiahe don't dirty his clothes, let's go sit by the window."
She spoke very quickly, and while pushing Chi Jiahe to the window, she threw the handkerchief in her hand under the table at will.
Chi Jiahe was pressed by her on the couch by the window and sat down, and before she could think about the smell wafting by the tip of her nose, she saw Chi Suihe climb onto the couch and lean out half of her body and push open the window forcefully.
The moment the window opened, a gust of wind swept in the heat, and the ends of their hair fluttered, and they squinted their eyes to avoid it.
Chi Suihe rubbed his eyes, and his ears were filled with the noise that followed.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Chi Jiahe standing up with a frightened expression, his eyes were bright, but what was reflected was a fire outside the window.
Chi Suihe was shocked, and turned his head sharply to lean out of the window again.
A small building in the distance was surrounded by fire, and there was no near water, and the flames jumped up and licked wildly around, and she recognized that the noise was people shouting for water.
The corner of Chi Jiahe's clothes swept by, and he turned around but fell short: "Jiahe!" Where are you going?! ”
"Mother.... Mother had just entered that little building! ”
Chi Suihe was slightly stunned, his heart jumped suddenly, and he wanted to call her back first, but found that the person had long since disappeared.
His brain was blank, and he flashed the figure of the woodcutter for a while, Lu Nian for a while, and Qian Lan for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had rushed out of the door.
The people fled in a panic, and at a glance they could see Chi Jiahe, who was rushing in against the crowd, and disappeared into the ring of fire in an instant.
Chi Suihe was almost suffocated when he saw it.
Tear off the cloak on his body and throw it into a small water tank covered with moss on the side, endure a suspicious smell to make the cloak barely soaked, pull it out and unfold it above his head to run towards the small building.
There was resistance from the corner of his clothes, and he turned his head angrily to meet the man's eyes that intended to stop.
searched his face in his mind, only to feel unfamiliar, and blurted out in a hurry: "Who are you??! Let go of the old lady!! ”
The man was stunned by her angry voice, and the strength in his hand weakened a little, but he still insisted on stopping her.
"Which girl are you? The temple has sent people to put out the fire, and you will only move forward so rashly..."
"My family is still inside! Leave it to me!! I don't care about you! ”
After speaking, I don't know where the strength came from to break free from his hand, and by the way, I knocked his body crooked, turned around and rushed into the sea of fire without looking back.
The man watched her figure disappear into the sea of fire, and then looked at the people around him who fled in panic, and his face sank.
"How can a good person catch fire, the monks of the Hundred Saints Temple? Do you just abandon the people? Where's the person you're looking for?! ”
The people who followed him were still immersed in the shock of their master being yelled at by the little girl, and they were asked one question after another, and their faces bowed their heads.
"Master, my subordinates have been...."
"Mother!"
Chi Jiahe, who rushed into the circle of fire, searched anxiously, turned his head like a feeling, and wanted to meet it with joy on his face, but was blocked by the flames.
The two were forcibly separated from each other.
Qian Lan raised her head when she heard this voice, saw her figure clearly through the firelight, and waved her hand in a panic: "Jiahe, go away!" Stay back! ”
There are many ordinary people in the small building, since the fire to now, she has arranged to dredge people to escape, she kept it behind, she thought that the fire could be quickly quelled by outsiders, but she never thought that it would burn more and more, only she was trapped by the fire ring.
At present, only the corner next to the stairs has not been licked by the fire because of the perennial accumulation of damp things, and the wooden door behind the stairs is loose, and it is the only place where you can rush out, but this staircase....
Qian Lan's mind was racing and thinking about the possibility of rushing out, when she saw Chi Jiahe's eyes firmly gritted her teeth, and rushed towards the staircase with an arrow step.
At the same time, she saw that the wooden pillar above the staircase was gradually softened and crumbling by the fire that had been going up, and then the pillar fell down.
The pupils shrank and screamed: "Jiahe-"
"Shhhh
Chi Suihe covered his hands and squeaked in pain, relieved the strength of cerebral palsy, and then helped the sluggish person on the side to get up, "Jiahe, are you okay?" ”
Chi Jiahe glanced at the charred wooden pillar next to her head, and it almost hit her head.
At the last moment, it was Chi Suihe who pushed her away and used herself as a meat pad, realizing this, her heart palpitated.
Fortunately, the wooden door had been smashed open, and he was only a few steps away from escaping.
hurriedly pulled someone to stand up, and saw that the back of her hand was burned red, and a sour tear in front of her eyes was about to fall, but now is not the time to talk more.
wiped his face casually, pulled Chi Suihe behind him to block the heat wave in front of him, tore off the wet clothes covering the two of them, and forcefully tore off half of them and threw them to Qian Lan.
"Mother! Protect yourself, let's go out through this door, you go first! ”
Qian Lan quickly took over the cover of her head and hands, and she was not ambiguous, and threw herself towards the gap, hitting it out and hitting the door even wider.
Chi Suihe and Chi Jiahe hid under their wet clothes and clinged to each other, and were about to pull her to rush through the gap that was squeezed out, but they noticed her pale face.
Subconsciously looked at her legs, the red and swollen pieces had been scalded and turned over some flesh, Chi Jiahe gritted his teeth and pulled the hem of his skirt to cover it casually, "It's okay, let's go out first." ”
"Hmm!" Chi Suihe helped her out with red eyes, seeing that the gap was in front of her, but there was resistance behind her again.
There was a pile of sundries in the corner of the stairs, and the two rushed through while the wire hooked Chi Jiahe's skirt and bit it tightly.
Hearing a muffled snort of pain, Chi Suihe looked down in panic and wanted to tear the skirt open, but found that the wire was trapped in the already erosive flesh and blood on her leg.
The blood in the whole body seemed to be coagulated, and the hearts seemed to be squeezed together while being squeezed into this damp corner.
There was a smell of blood in his mouth, and Chi Suihe was terrified, but he still blinked quickly and trembled his hands to touch it, and his voice was shaking: "Jiahe.. Jiahe, you bear with it...."
By this time, Chi Jiahe only had a wry smile left, listening to the sound of crackling wood burning in his head that might collapse at any time-
"Maybe I'm going to die here today."
Blessed to the soul, Chi Suihe was shocked, shaking his head like a rattle: "Wait! And so on and so forth! Jiahe, no, don't you think about it! No! No! ”
