The old man looked at Wu Captou's leaving figure and sneered at his pretentiousness.

The subordinate next to him noticed something was wrong, pointed at the growing fire below, and shouted: "Master, it's not good! The fire is starting to burn!"

But the old man didn't take it seriously and said without even looking at it: "How can this damn weather go? Come back!" As he walked away, he complained in a low voice: "It's already midnight, what a waste of time!"

It turned out that the torch that Capt. Wu threw away accidentally fell on the withered vine above Qi Yang and the others. The withered vine was quickly ignited, and the fire spread all of a sudden, burning Qi Yang and Linger's eyes.

before.

Neither of them expected such a change to happen, especially Ling'er. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

The natural barrier that could shield the two of them before turned into a blazing wall of fire, and the heat wave rushed directly to the door of the two of them. Even on this cold winter night, no one could withstand the heat at such a close distance.

bake.

But they couldn't evacuate because the enemy was still above. As long as the movement was slightly louder, the people above would be disturbed.

Qi Yang could only wrap his arms around Ling'er's shoulders and pull her back, trying to avoid the flames rushing in front of him. But there was a stone wall behind him, where could they retreat to?

Ling'er felt that her head was dizzy from being burned by the fire, so she had to hold on to Brother Yang's clothes tightly to prevent herself from accidentally falling into trouble.

Qi Yang knew that Ling'er's tolerance for high temperatures was far inferior to his own, and he was very anxious. However, Capt. Wu, who was above him, seemed unwilling to leave like this. He was still explaining his reasoning to his men, and had not yet mounted his horse.

The fire was burning more and more fiercely, and the heat wave was getting bigger and bigger. In desperation, Qi Yang did not care about etiquette, and pulled Ling'er towards him, while he quickly turned around and used his back to isolate the flames.

, and protect Linger in his arms.

The dizzying heat wave subsided a lot. Ling'er gradually regained consciousness and found that he was being pressed on his chest by Brother Yang. He was using his body to shield himself from the heat of the fire!

Ling'er was so anxious that she stretched out her hand to push Brother Yang, but she didn't know when Brother Yang had regained so much strength. No matter how hard she pushed, he remained motionless and held her tightly in his arms.

Qi Yang knew that Ling'er would not stay in his arms obediently, so he could only use some tricks. He deliberately lowered his voice and said in a weak tone: "Don't push! It hurts."

Sure enough, Ling'er didn't dare to move anymore after hearing this. How could she forget that Brother Yang was still injured! At this time, she could only move her eyes with difficulty to confirm Brother Yang's current situation.

Qi Yang's forehead had a lot of sweat at this time, and he didn't know whether it was because of heat or pain.

Sensing Ling'er's worried gaze, Qi Yang comforted her softly: "Don't worry, wait until they go further away."

Ling'er heard hope from it and looked at Brother Yang expectantly, waiting for him to quickly end this painful suffering.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yang did not move for a long time. He squinted his eyes slightly, and then simply closed his eyes. Sweat accumulated on his forehead, and then flowed down his temples.

Ling'er was very anxious when she saw this. There was no movement above. Her brother Yang wouldn't want to wait until everyone was gone before going to hide from the fire, right?

She knew that Brother Yang had always been cautious, but at this time she was very dissatisfied with Brother Yang's excessive caution. She pulled Brother Yang's clothes hard to urge him.

Only then did Qi Yang open his eyes again. Finally, under Ling'er's expectant gaze, he grabbed Ling'er's waist and moved away, retreating to the open space.
