Chapter 21: The inn caught fire.

Zhou Mu has always been sensitive to danger. The fire was so fierce that he just faintly smelled the smell of gunpowder and reacted instinctively.

  But he didn't expect that his instinct was to grab the woman and run away together.

  And he also took into account the guest room next door, where her son and entourage were.

  Gu Changsheng responded to the danger instinctively. She heard the sound of a fire when she was dragged to the next room. Without saying a word, she picked up her son and held him in her arms. She gave the order quickly and firmly, "Han Qiu, take care of Han Mo. You all follow and retreat quickly!" Fire and water are merciless.

  She cannot hesitate and blurts out a military order.

  Zhou Mu was stunned. The familiar feeling, the kind of decisiveness and perseverance that only veterans can have...

  Gu Changsheng took two quick steps and looked back to check the situation. Everyone followed closely behind her, only the evildoer was still in a daze. She immediately stepped back, grabbed him with one hand and ran out, scolding him harshly, "Are you stupid? It's already this time, and you still have time to be in a daze."

  This person pulled her when danger was approaching. Gu Changsheng has always been a person who returns a favor to others. Naturally, he will not abandon him or ignore him.

  Zhou Mu was dragged out. There was no emotion on his cold face. He just stared at the hand that was pulling his arm.

  The fire was fierce. The wooden stairs were already stained with flames. The smoke was filled, choking people so that they couldn't open their eyes. Gu Changsheng was surprised at the size and urgency of the fire and was the first to bend down, "Bend down and move forward, try to adjust your breathing, and reduce your breathing rhythm."

  When escaping from a fire, the most important thing is to inhale less smoke to prevent fainting and suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

  Familiar scenes, familiar smoke and flames, familiar suffocation, made Zhou Mu feel like he was falling into an ice cave, his body was as stiff as iron, and he could only stagger forward being dragged by Gu Changsheng.

  "Adjust your breathing, don't breathe heavily." Gu Changsheng kicked the counter that blocked his way and shouted back. The person behind him was too abnormal, making her feel that he was afraid, yes, afraid. Some people are afraid of closed spaces, some are afraid of water, and naturally some are afraid of fire!

  But now she is on the verge of life and death, and she can't ask for clues. She wants to live. She died unjustly in her previous life. In this life, even if it is a disaster, it can't take her life!

  When life is threatened, human potential will be infinitely stimulated.

  Gu Changsheng held his son and dragged Zhou Mu, and rushed out of the inn first, followed by Han Qiu and Han Mo, and then Dong Lei who was dragged behind Han Qiu.

  Several people were extremely embarrassed, beating the flames on their bodies.

  Zhou Mu looked up woodenly and looked at the inn that was already shrouded in light and fire.

  He came out alive! The same scene, the same fire, his loved ones abandoned him, but this time, when he turned down, the woman was still pulling his arm...

  Gu Changsheng, who had counted the number of people silently, looked up in horror, "Xiao Cui! Xiao Cui didn't come out!"

  In the situation just now, Han Qiu grabbed Han Mo with one hand, and instinctively grabbed the nearest person with the other hand...

  "Bang..." The door beam of the inn fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust and fire.

  "Take good care of him." Gu Changsheng stuffed his son in his arms into the arms of Zhou Mu beside him, and turned to go back.

  She wanted to save Xiao Cui, the person she saw when she opened her eyes when she came to this world as a ghost, the beautiful girl who took care of her and followed her!

  "No, it's dangerous!" Zhou Mu stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

  The fire was too fierce, and going in now would undoubtedly be courting death!

  Gu Changsheng steadied himself, turned his head suddenly, and looked directly at Zhou Mu with cold and firm eyes, "I want to save her!"

  Zhou Mu stared at the serious woman in front of him for a few seconds, turned around and stuffed the little meat bun back into her arms, and then he flashed towards the inn, and disappeared in the fire in a blink of an eye.

  The smoke blinded Gu Changsheng's eyes, and she followed him blankly for two steps, muttering: "You are afraid of fire..."

  The little meat bun, who was tightly held in his arms, twisted his body uneasily, as if he felt the danger, "Mother, Uncle Mu..."

  "He will come out!" Gu Changsheng interrupted his son firmly. He was the invincible general Wang, and he could fight his way out of the pursuit. This time, he will be fine.

  "Yes!" The little meat bun nodded firmly, Uncle Mu and Aunt Cui will be fine.

  The fire was out of control, and the inn was filled with the cries and roars of people before they died, which was thrilling.

  The hot air rushed in, burning Gu Changsheng's face. She held her son in her arms, staring at the door that had been burned beyond recognition.

  Time seemed to freeze, with a suffocating fear.

  "Bang..."

  There was another sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Gu Changsheng knew that the main beam of the inn's roof had collapsed.

  The inn in the firelight suddenly became a purgatory on earth.

  Gu Changsheng had never owed anyone anything in her life. She didn't want anyone to die because of her. Human life might be as cheap as grass in the eyes of the ancients, but in her eyes, it was extremely precious. No matter good or bad, noble or humble, everyone has the right to live!

  Putting her son in front of Han Qiu, Gu Changsheng looked up. She only spent fifty taels of silver to buy this girl. She was a daughter of a general, but he chose her and swore to be loyal to her. She never believed in oaths, nor in the so-called loyalty, but now she was the only person she could trust. Gu Changsheng bent her usually straight back, bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "Han Qiu, take good care of him for me!"

  Han Qiu was stunned for a moment, but came back to her senses in an instant, stretched out her hand and firmly grasped Gu Changsheng's arm, shaking her head, "You, can't go."

  With such a fire, going in would mean death.

  "Han Qiu, I can't watch someone die because of me!" Gu Changsheng roared, turned around and broke away the hand that was grabbing his arm, and ran towards the inn.

  He would not die, and Xiao Cui would be fine!

  Before anyone entered the fire scene, a strong momentum suddenly burst out from it, mixed with burning wood chips, and Gu Changsheng instinctively raised his hand to block it.

  A black shadow strode towards her with anger, and was stunned when he saw her, but in an instant he pulled up her arm and rushed out of the fire.

  Zhou Mu threw Xiao Cui down with a dark face, turned to face Gu Changsheng, stretched out his hand and pointed at the inn, "You have no brains? Where are you running?"

  If he hadn't retracted his palm in time, she would have been a dead body now!

  Seeing that he was fine, Gu Changsheng ran to Xiao Cui who was thrown on the ground.

  Xiao Cui came back to her senses after seeing Gu Changsheng, and a smile rose on her dusty face, "Madam! Madam! I knew that you would be fine. Madam, these are clothes for you and the young master."

  Gu Changsheng stared at the package in front of him, and suddenly a sour feeling welled up in his nose.

  Xiao Cui's body was blackened by the fireworks, and there were even traces of burns in some places, but the package was intact.

  It can be seen that Xiao Cui took good care of it.

  "You are stupid and brainless. It's just a few pieces of clothes, and you risked your life to run back. Do you know that water and fire are merciless! Do you know that you almost died!" A slap hit the package hard. How could she deserve to be protected by someone with her life! "

  Madam, don't be angry, Xiao Cui is fine, Xiao Cui is fine." Xiao Cui hurriedly climbed up, turned around, and still had a comforting smile on her face, "Without clothes, you and the young master will catch a cold."

  Xiao Cui was indeed fine, except that her beautiful hair was burned beyond recognition.

  "Clothes! You're still talking about clothes. I didn't even have time to take the banknotes from your wife. I was just afraid that something might happen to you. You actually sneaked back for a few clothes. Is there something wrong with your brain?" Gu Changsheng yelled at her loudly. Almost, almost, this little girl lost her life just because of getting clothes for her!

  "Ah! Madam, you didn't take the banknotes?" Xiao Cui was shocked, her eyes widened, "Then what will Madam and the young master eat and use in the future?"

  "Xiao Cui, how did you live to this age? Money is something outside of the body. If you lose it, you can earn it again! If you lose your life, then you really have nothing!" Gu Changsheng sighed. For the first time, she knew that the loyalty of the ancients could really be entrusted with their lives.

  In a blink of an eye, he said no more and carefully checked whether she was injured.

  Fortunately, Xiao Cui hid in the corner supported by the fallen beam. Although her hair was burned, she didn't suffer much injury on her body. Only her back and arms were burned.

  "Mom, are we going to sleep on the street today?" The little meat bun bit his finger and asked softly.

  Gu Changsheng glanced at the inn that had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and touched his little head lovingly. Except for them, no one escaped.

  The fire was so big that it was unbelievable.

  Gu Changsheng firmly believed that all unexpected things must have a mystery.

  This fire was too strange!

  He turned his eyes to Zhou Mu, who was still angry, and his eyes flashed with fire. The next moment, he picked up his son on the ground and said, "Let's go! Hurry up!"

  Such a big fire will definitely alarm the government, and everyone will die. If they escape,

  they will definitely be regarded as arsonists! Obviously, the shops on both sides of the street heard the noise and lit up, but they were too late to put out the fire.

  Gu Changsheng walked briskly in front, and Zhou Mu was behind, holding Xiao Cui in one hand and Dong Lei in the other. Before leaving, he frowned and looked at the inn.

  Han Qiu looked back with a little feeling.

  After running for a distance, Gu Changsheng intuitively felt that something was wrong. The fire started suddenly, but someone still shouted, and she also smelled a smell of kerosene.

  Someone must have set the fire to force them out!

  After a buffer to steady his steps, Gu Changsheng looked back at Zhou Mu, his face full of desolation, "I wonder if it will be too late for us to go back and face the officials now?"

  The officials are much easier to deal with than the killers!

  Zhou Mu shook his head with a stern face, "Going back will only implicate innocent people."

  Gu Changsheng didn't ask any more questions, picked a deep alley and turned in, and said while running, "Then we'll just sit and wait for death!"

  The alley chosen by Gu Changsheng was very narrow. If she guessed correctly, someone must be following behind. Now, she can only choose a favorable terrain.

  There are high walls on both sides of the narrow alley. Gu Changsheng looked at the high walls blocking in front of her, and sure enough, it was as she wished.

  Putting her son on the ground, Gu Changsheng squatted down, held his little face with both hands, and said solemnly: "Son, listen, no matter what you hear, don't be afraid, don't open your eyes!"

  Seeing her like this, the little meat bun nodded obediently.

  Han Mo consciously walked over, took his little hand, and retreated to the wall. Happy

  　Valentine's Day!

  　　Happy single!

  　　In fact, the second sentence, I only said it to myself!
