Chapter 25 Gu Yuan's Crisis
...
When the sacrificial team was about to set off, the villagers here were foolish.
They are good at using traps and are prepared to prevent this from happening.
The patriarch whistled, and somewhere overwhelming bats flew over.
The bats overturned the wine jars on the roof, and the wine jars rolled on the piles of haystacks.
The patriarch and another man threw the fire in while the guards were in chaos.
They only said four words-
"Sacrifice to the mountain with one's own body!"
Almost instantly, when everyone reacted, the fire had instantly lit the haystacks in the village and ignited the nearby mountains and forests.
The fire filled the ground and the heat was surging.
The fire accompanied by the vortex of the wind, surrounding the village, like a flame hell.
The flames burned the ropes tied to the villagers, but the villagers did not escape.
Under the leadership of the patriarch, they all jumped into the sea of fire.
They recited harsh and strange spells in the sea of fire, like crying and laughing.
Struggle, twist until the skin is completely burned.
The moans broke into the sky, creepy!
It is no longer possible for the secret guards to go in and catch people again.
"Go away, don't worry about them!" Chu Hao ordered the people from the secret guards to evacuate in the distance.
Even if you have extraordinary skills, you will never be able to get out of this wildfire.
And in terms of the fire, they will be swallowed up sooner or later.
Bai Jue was wearing white clothes, standing in front of this sea of fire, his clothes flew with the wind, and his deep eyes were red.
Chu Hao urged: "Master, please leave quickly, those people are crazy!"
"They are not crazy, they have clearly chosen their own path, which is really sad." Bai Jue stopped for a moment, "Forget it, go back and explain the situation to my elder brother."
Xuan Ming and Gu Wanqing sat in the carriage and witnessed the ignition of fire.
The fire had spread to the place where the offerings were placed, so they had to be discarded.
The carriage drove forward, and Gu Wanqing looked at the thick smoke.
Various discarded sacrificial masks lie on the side of the road and are caught in the sea of fire.
Not in hell, but better than hell.
Suddenly, a sound came from the sacrifice where the fire spread—
"Help...help..."
Gu Wanqing was shocked and hurriedly turned around.
Xuan Ming asked, "What's wrong?"
"I seem to hear Gu Yuan's voice."
"Who?" Xuan Ming thought she was joking.
"My brother."
Gu Wanqing didn't bother to explain, and to confirm, she rushed into the sea of fire.
That's right, I just heard Gu Yuan's voice in the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacr
When Xuan Ming chased him out, he could no longer see Gu Wanqing, and he had no idea which road she entered.
"Where is the general!" Bai Jue, who came from the other direction, saw Xuan Ming anxiously searching, and knew something was wrong.
"The general is going to fire to save people!" Xuan Ming stamped his feet in a hurry and wanted to follow him.
Chu Hao grabbed her, "You're dead!"
Bai Jue frowned and quickly ordered the secret guards around him to disperse themselves, "Find General Wanqing!"
"yes!"
"You two stand here, don't move around!" Bai Jue said to Chu Hao and Xuan Ming.
Then, he turned around and rushed to the sea of fire.
The heat waves wrapped in flames came.
Gu Wanqing tightly covered her mouth and nose, and gradually heard clear crying.
Breaking through the fire around, Gu Wanqing saw Gu Yuan standing next to the sacrifice box.
His little body was huddled there, and half of his sleeves had been burned out by the fire.
The skin on half of the face and arms was also bloody and bloody.
Gu Wanqing ran over and held him in her arms, "Gu Yuan! You are really here! How did you follow me?"
Because of the huge pain, Gu Yuan was crying heart-wrenchingly, "I saw that the box was fun, so I hid in... and then fell asleep... When I woke up, wuwuwu, there were so many fires... Sister, I felt so painful..."
"Gu Yuan is not afraid, my sister takes you home, so you can endure it."
Gu Wanqing hugged Gu Yuan tightly and rushed out of the fire.
The whistling of wind and fire is like the hissing of wild beasts.
Scattered Mars fell down, and the clothes on Gu Wanqing's back were burned out.
After enduring the huge pain, he finally ran out of the sea of fire.
"General!" Xuan Ming was frightened by the scene in front of him, "General, you are injured!"
Gu Wanqing shook her head, "I'm not seriously injured. Gu Yuan is burned. You have to find a doctor as soon as possible!"
Bai Jue came out from the other side of the fire.
A moment ago, his expression was panicked and anxious as if he had lost his treasure.
The moment I saw Gu Wanqing, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He put his scarlet right arm behind him, and his face returned to his calm state, "Go away quickly."
After everyone left, thunder rolled in the sky.
The pouring rain poured out half an hour before the wildfire was wiped out.
That night, everyone in Yan'an City could see the thick smoke that entered the sky.
There are also faint, wailing screams.
...
The Gu family found a doctor overnight, and a group of people surrounded Beiyuan.
Because Gu Yuan was too young and had too large a burn area, the doctor said that it would leave scars that were difficult to heal.
"My son is only ten years old! Now half of his body is ruined! His face is ruined, how do you ask him to be a human being in the future!"
Gu Dongqi went crazy in Gu's mansion and couldn't accept it.
Mrs. Gu also cried and howled, as if there was something earth-shaking funeral at home.
Gu Qing and Gu Xi were also frightened by their younger brother's appearance and stood aside at a loss.
Regardless of Gu Xi's quick acceptance, he quickly went up and worked hard to comfort his parents.
Gu Wanqing sighed and tried to comfort her: "Fortunately, Gu Yuan has no worries about his life and did not hurt his eyes. As long as he recovers well in the future, it will not affect his daily life."
It would be fine if she didn't say it, but as soon as she spoke, she was targeted by Gu Dongqi and Mrs. Gu.
The two of them were covered up like a ferocious spirit, pointing at Gu Wanqing's nose and cursing:
"What's OK! Don't think I don't know, it's all your conspiracy!"
"That's right! Gu Yuan disappeared during the day. We searched all over the city... It turned out that you brought it back! It turned out to be like this. Wasn't it your harsh action?"
Gu Wanqing frowned deeply and stared at Gu Dongqi's face without saying a word.
Xuan Ming guarded Gu Wanqing, "Hey! It was the young master who hid in the box for sacrificial purposes. What does it have to do with the general? If the general hadn't rushed into the fire today, the young master would have turned into a scorched corpse like those villagers!"
Mrs. Gu wiped her tears and raised her hand and wanted to hit her, "You damn girl, how can you speak here?"
Xuan Ming raised his hand and pushed her to the ground easily, which made Mrs. Gu fall.
Xuan Ming snorted coldly, "What are you doing? Want to hit me? In terms of official rank, I am no lower than you, Mrs. Gu. Besides, I am not the maid who signed a contract for sale in your family. I am the general's deputy general, so you are not qualified to bully me!"
Gu Dongqi's face turned red, "You...you said that Gu Yuan crawled into the sacrificial box by himself, who can prove it?! I think it was you who did it!"
Gu Xi dodged his eyes and said nothing, looking at his younger brother lying on the bed, his heart was silent.
Gu Wanqing said calmly: "I didn't see it. But I didn't do it either."
The second sister Gu Qing next to her walked to the bed and said, "Gu Yuan, tell me, how did you get burned!"
