Inside the car.

Pei Jiangzhi frowned, and he asked, "Xuyun, have you noticed that there seems to be a fire somewhere in front of you?" ”

Xu Yun was taking a nap with his eyes closed, and when he heard this, his eyes widened and he looked ahead.

I saw a roaring fire on another hill not far from them, which stood out in the deep night. Thick smoke billowed upwards, with the momentum of swallowing up everything.

Xu Yun rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he hurriedly dialed the number of the fire alarm.

Pei Jiangzhi glanced at him with his afterglow and did not stop it.

On this trip, the direction they were originally going to go happened to be the one that lit the fire.

He was displeased, how could it seem that wherever he went, something strange was happening?

Xu Yun on the side swallowed his saliva, he buckled his phone and looked at Pei Jiangzhi.

"Boss, let's... Do you still go to Rongcheng this time? I feel like the fire in front of me won't be extinguished for a while. You can see this smoke from all afar... Tsk, I can't think it's close. ”

Pei Jiangzhi held the steering wheel with one hand, and turned on the mobile phone that had not been turned on for a long time with the other hand.

The bright light of the screen set off the dark night and hit him in the face.

With a vibrating sound when the mobile phone was turned on, many text messages from Luo Qinghe suddenly crashed into his sight.

Pei Jiangzhi probably glanced at it, and the top messages were all sent by Luo Qinghe.

He thought about it, found a clearing on the mountain road that did not delay the traffic of the traffic, and stopped the car.

It's really not safe to look at your phone while driving. What's more, this is a message from Luo Qinghe, and he doesn't want to miss a word.

Xu Yun looked at him puzzled, "Boss, you-"

"You drive, change me to the co-pilot." Pei Jiang neatly unbuckled his seat belt and buckled the door.

Xu Yun is simply a second zhang monk is confused, he doesn't understand why the boss wants to replace him in a dignified manner? But I did it anyway.

As soon as the two switched positions, Pei Jiangzhi glanced at the back seat by the way when the co-pilot was wearing a seat belt - Xiao Ji curled up in a ball, not moving, as if he was asleep.

He stretched out his long arm, scooped up a plush blanket and put it on Xiao Ji's body.

Xu Yun happened to see this scene, and he was no stranger to the carefulness of his boss.

Pei Jiangzhi then shifted his gaze back to the mobile phone screen that had not been opened for a long time, and suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He shouted, "Go straight!" Go in the direction of the fire! ”

Xu Yun was coldly yelled at by Pei Jiangzhi, and shuddered, he said, "Boss, you scared me!" Why did we suddenly go to the scene of the fire? Isn't this looking for death? ”

Pei Jiangzhi's eyes were fixed on the raging fire, and he said coldly: "Luo Qinghe is there." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the speed again, "Xuyun, hurry up." If you can't, I'll do it. ”

Xu Yun drove too slowly, how could he rush to save people at such a speed?

Pei Jiangzhi was a little anxious for a while.

As soon as he sat down, he looked at the first message sent to him by Luo Qinghe with great interest: Hey, Pei Jiangzhi, have you arrived in Rongcheng? Why didn't you tell me when it arrived?

With a smile on the corner of his lips, he could almost imagine Luo Qinghe's playful appearance with his hands on his waist and his eyebrows slightly frowned.

Then, his finger slid to the second message: Hey, Jiang Zhi... Why do some people's hearts always can't be warmed? He turned out to be the man behind our original reasoning... It's unpredictable.

Oh? Pei Jiangzhi raised his eyebrows with interest, who is this "he"? It seems that Luo Qinghe has discovered something now, and he will have to ask her another day.

What came to his mind again was that Luo Qinghe looked melancholy, with his hands on his cheeks, looking at the sky speechlessly.

When he looked at the third message, which had just been sent today, the smile on his lips froze, as if he had been frozen.

I looked back and forth several times to confirm that I was not dazzled-

I'm coming to Rongcheng, Pei Jiangzhi. Don't let me catch you then, or you'll be miserable, hum...

His heart trembled, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Rongcheng, it's not big, it's not small. But he didn't dare to bet, what if there was Luo Qinghe in the firelight?

He prayed, preferably not.

But the world is unpredictable, such a coincidence, and now she has also come to Rongcheng... It's better to take a look at it for yourself.

Xu Yun increased his horsepower, gritted his teeth, and said, "Boss, sit tight—"

Pei Jiangzhi's eyes showed a look of worry, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was even worse. He is like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, anxious and out of proportion.

Xu Yun stared at the road in front of him, and he asked casually, "Boss, why don't you call Miss Luo by the way to ask her about her safety?" ”

That's right!

There was a flash of lightning in his head, he didn't think of it! How did the mobile phone in the hand become an ornament?

Pei Jiangzhi shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, as soon as this person is in a hurry, every inch will be in chaos.

"Thank you." He said seriously.

Xu Yun was confused again, he just reminded the boss by the way, as for him to thank himself so formally?

I really don't understand him anymore.

Pei Jiangzhi looked at the phone number, paused, and dialed it.

...

Two minutes passed, and all that responded to him was a cold female voice: "The phone you made is temporarily unanswered, or the phone has been turned off..."

Pei Jiangzhi was suffocated, he deducted the phone, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.

Xu Yun turned his head to look at Pei Jiangzhi when he was busy, and quickly turned his head back.

The boss looks really fierce now! He didn't know what was going on, but his instincts told him that it was better not to hit the muzzle of the gun now.

***

Luojia Rongcheng Annex.

Luo Qinghe was shocked, who locked her in the east wing without knowing it?

The cold sweat on her hands almost made her unable to hold her phone, and she held her breath and wanted to call for help.

But the phone couldn't be dialed.

Luo Qinghe looked at it, and the mobile phone didn't even have a signal...

The explosion outside was deafening, and the smoke of the fire rose into the sky. The east wing was filled with a suffocating pungent smell at some point.

Luo Qinghe was anxious, she slapped the dilapidated Zhumen hard, and shouted, "Is there anyone?" I'm still here..."

"Ahem..."

Probably because she inhaled too much smoke and dust in a hurry, she choked at the moment and coughed non-stop, and her throat became much hoarse.

No one responded to her, and she seemed to be forgotten in this corner.

Suddenly, there was a series of muffled sounds from the direction of the east wing connecting the main hall, mixed with a piercing scream that broke through the air.

Luo Qinghe looked back in a panic, and a blazing flame was scurrying around, licking the tongue of fire close to the ground. The recent old wooden furniture, the strange smell is pungent, and the smoke is thick.

She tried to push the door that locked her again, and although it looked crumbling, she didn't expect it to be so strong?! I don't know if someone put something like a cabinet outside the door to prevent her from getting out... It's too late to think about it, it's time to save your life.

She steadied herself, wiped the cold sweat from her palms onto her body, and looked up at the roof.

I don't know what's going on outside, and I don't know why no one responds to her pleas for help... However, she must not sit still here, she also has to avenge her father and the Luo family.

Pregnant! Luo Qinghe's eyes lit up, and his eyes locked on a gap on the roof of the east wing. It's not small, she roughly estimated, it should be just enough for her body to drill out.

Alas, it's time to thank the dilapidated old house, which left a small gap.

After making up her mind, Luo Qinghe's heart had been tense, and she quickly swept around all the objects in the east wing that she could climb.

The dust accumulated over the years fell on the tables and chairs, and as soon as Luo Qinghe moved, they floated up indiscriminately, choking her so much that she couldn't open her eyes.

She has not practiced all the sports related to climbing, and it is impossible for her to climb directly to the roof without the help of external forces. I can only make do with the integration of everything available in the East Wing.

The fire seemed to be getting closer and closer, the smoke was mixed with the smell of dust, and Luo Qinghe was so smoked that tears flowed, and it was difficult to breathe.

After piling another pony on the coffee table, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed to the ground.

She knew that the best way to escape a fire was to hunch over and not stand upright.

Because the smoke will only go up.

But now, her only way to escape is on the rooftop, and she has no other way.

Luo Qinghe glanced at the inside of the east wing again, the fire seemed to have spread from the main hall, and now it was about to burn to her place.

The raging fire unscrupulously expands its minions, trying to encompass all parts of its rule.

She neatly pulled her long hair up, leaned down and took a deep breath, stepping on the "ladder" she had just set up and ready to pick up the steps.

There could be no further delay, the fire had already spread to the door of the East Wing.

Luo Qinghe gritted his teeth, endured the pungent smell of fire in the billowing smoke, and staggered...

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the roasting made her lips thirsty and the heat unbearable.

Luo Qinghe held his breath and stepped on another maza.

She looked at the gap in the roof, and now she was only half an arm's length away, and she could reach it!

However, at this time, the flames had already burned through the wooden door connecting the east wing to the main hall, and it was becoming more and more uncontrollable. The only breath of air that Luo Qinghe had left in her chest before was about to be exhausted, and behind her was a tongue of fire that was chasing after her, and in front of her was billowing smoke.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead, and her face was pale, but she still gritted her teeth.

Can't breathe! Bear with me a little longer, and you'll be able to go out soon... When Luo Qinghe's consciousness was about to dissipate, the nail of her right hand slammed into her palm, and she suddenly sobered up a lot.

And yet—

Just as she stepped on the last small bench with all her strength, perhaps due to disrepair, the small bench lost its balance, and one corner of the bench suddenly shattered into several petals.

Now, her hand was touching the edge of the roof.

Luo Qinghe was shocked into a cold sweat, she closed her eyes, and felt hopeless.

She was ready to fight one last time when she was about to die—when the "ladder" she had built was about to collapse, she used her strength to leap up with all her strength and climbed onto the roof with both hands.

At this time, she had exhausted all her strength, and there was a vicious tongue of fire under her feet.

The strength of the fingertips is getting looser and looser, and it gradually can't support it... She closed her eyes in resignation, ready to die.
