Raising the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 38: The Fire in the West Courtyard
Gu Xiao rubbed his ears, finally stopped the tinnitus, and said: "In the foot shop, I looked at the girl's steps, and I could tell that she had martial arts skills. I thought that since Mr. Liu has been doing evil for many years, he might do something bad.
As a means, he came to help."
Lin'er said with lingering fear: "I only thought that Mr. Liu was a idiot. I didn't expect that he would resort to such tricks and almost got into trouble. Thank you very much for helping me this time." Thinking of Mr. Liu's mysterious fragrance, Lin thought of him.
Angrily, he kicked Mr. Liu a few times with his feet, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Seeing that Lin'er was still venting his anger on Mr. Liu, Gu Xiao lowered his voice and said: "Miss Lin'er, there are many guards in the courtyard of Liuzhuang. I sneaked into the courtyard and even though I knocked all the servants unconscious, the night watchman
The nursing staff are afraid that they will patrol here at any time, so we'd better leave as soon as possible."
Lin'er was surprised when she heard what Gu Xiao said. It was the first time they met in the foot shop. She saw that the young man in green was thin and thought he was just a passing scholar.
Unexpectedly, he could actually sneak into the guarded Liuzhuang alone. Lin'er calculated the time in his mind and said to Gu Xiao: "Thank you for saving me, but Lin'er has made an agreement with someone. If he leaves at this time,
I'm afraid that person won't be able to find me when he gets here."
"Is that the bearded man in the inn? In the foot shop, I saw that the girl and the man knew each other. Don't worry, I have made an agreement with him to find you and we will meet in Liangzhou City." Gu Xiao looked at Lin'er.
explained.
Lin'er suddenly had doubts in her heart at this moment. Who is this young man in green clothes named 'Mu Yi'?
With his martial arts skills in mind, he also recognized that Xue Hu was the one traveling with him.
This 'Mu Yi' is by no means simple. When he left the island, Xue Hu had warned him that the people in the world were sinister and that he should not trust others. Now what is the purpose of this 'Mu Yi' in front of him to save him? Lin'er thought about this.
Suspicion arose.
Seeing Lin'er's suspicious look, Gu Xiao felt anxious. He suddenly remembered the small token that Xue Hu handed to him, groped in his arms and found the peach blossom token.
He quickly took out this thing and handed it to Lin'er and said: "This is really not the place to talk. Fortunately, when I came here, I thought that the girl would be suspicious, so I showed you this thing. It was something given to me by the big man accompanying you. This is always
It’s time to trust me.”
When Lin'er saw 'Mu Yi' take out the Peach Blossom Token, seven or eight points of doubts in her heart were gone. She took the Peach Blossom Token, nodded to Gu Xiao and said: "What Mu Shaoxia said is true, let's leave Liuzhuang first."
After saying that, he knelt down and slapped Mr. Liu a few times to vent his anger, but just when Gu and Xiao were about to turn around and leave, Lin'er turned back again, groped around in Mr. Liu's arms, and found the
Zhang Fengling took the ticket, stuffed it into his sleeve, and left with Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao and Lin'er opened the door and were about to leave, but were shocked by the scene outside the door. The small courtyard was already ignited with flames.
Assisted by the winter wind, the fire gradually rose. It turned out that while Gu Xiao and Lin'er were talking inside the house, the incense pills that Gu Xiao had just thrown out of the incense burner outside the window were blown aside by the east wind with sparks.
On top of the door curtain that blocks the wind and snow.
In the winter, when things were already dry, the sparks on the pills were blown by the winter wind and gradually turned into a prairie fire. By the time Gu Xiao and Lin'er were about to leave Liuzhuang, the fire had already spread.
Seeing that the fire was out of control, Gu Xiao turned to Lin'er and said: "Miss Lin'er, this Liu Yi has done many evil things. It's okay not to save him, but these servants are all miserable people. I'm going to move them to a safe place."
, you wait for me in the forest outside the courtyard."
Lin'er said: "Master Mu sneaked all the way into Liuzhuang. How could I leave alone? I'll help you move these people to a safe place. Two people are faster than one."
Seeing that Lin'er wanted to help, Gu Xiao became much faster. The two of them dragged the people in the hospital who had been knocked unconscious by Gu Xiao out of the hospital one by one, when they suddenly heard shouting coming from a distance.
"Come on, come on, come on, come on!" The fire got bigger and bigger, eventually attracting the guards who were patrolling the night. The nurses found that there was a faint flame in the west courtyard of their son's house, and they quickly shouted loudly. Several nurses shouted
He quickly picked up the bucket, filled it with water from the nearest well next to the pavilion, and rushed to the west courtyard.
Gu Xiaolin'er and Gu Xiaolin didn't bother to wipe the sweat from their faces at this time. They heard the shouting getting closer and closer, and knew that the people putting out the fire in the courtyard were about to arrive. They looked at each other and stepped into the scenery outside the west courtyard of Liuzhuang.
In the forest, Lin'er followed Gu Xiaoxiang and pretended to be a layman, using the cover of the woods.
Villa Master Liu had dealt with Elder Fei and was changing his clothes and was about to rest in the study when he suddenly heard a nurse outside the courtyard shouting loudly. Mrs. Liu noticed something unusual in the village, rushed into the study and shouted at Master Liu: "This nurse
The hospital members are making a lot of noise, why don’t you go and have a look quickly?”
The expression on Master Liu's pale face darkened, but he did not answer Mrs. Liu Gao's words. He put on his coat, opened the door, and saw a flash of fire in the village. It turned out to be the direction of the west courtyard where his son Liu Yi lived. Mrs. Liu Gao saw that her husband was not there.
I ignored myself and felt angry, but when my husband opened the door, I saw a fire in the direction of the west courtyard.
Mrs. Liu Gao stood up hurriedly: "Oh no, it's... my son's yard is on fire." Before she could finish her words, she saw that Master Liu had already used Qinggong, jumped to the roof, and headed towards the west courtyard. Mrs. Liu Gao was extremely worried.
, also jumped up with Master Liu's Qinggong and rushed to his son's yard.
On the other hand, Elder Fei, who lived in the guest courtyard, was also attracted by the firelight and the shouts of the nursing staff. He opened the window, looked at the firelight in the distance, stroked his thin beard, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that here.
It's very interesting to see the excitement in Liangzhou."
Elder Fei only cared about the two things that the sect master told him. Elder Fei was too lazy to take care of other things. With the mentality of watching the fun, Elder Fei even took out a pot of wine from the room and looked at the gradual progress.
Drinking wine under the light of the sky.
After a while, Master Liu and his wife arrived outside the west courtyard. Seeing the flames in the courtyard, the couple were in no mood to question the nursing staff who were putting out the fire one by one.
Villa Master Liu looked around with a gloomy face. He saw that all the young boys outside the courtyard were unconscious in the snow outside the courtyard. No trace of his son could be seen. Villa Master Liu casually picked up the unconscious leading boy among them.
The sound of "papa" was clear and clear, and two slaps were slapped hard on the face.
The boy who had fainted woke up from the pain and saw that the owner of his village was holding his collar. He also saw the fierce fire in the west courtyard, so he stammered and said: "Master...Master, owner of the village."
A murderous intent appeared on Master Liu's pale face, and he shouted at the young man: "What's going on, where is the young master?"
The young man remembered what the young master had told him, and he hesitated and wanted to hide that the young master had brought a girl from outside the village. Mrs. Liu didn't have the patience, so she snatched the young man from her husband's hand, slapped the young man on his right cheek with her palm, and shouted:
"Speak quickly, or I will skin you."
Although Liu Gao's martial arts skills are not as good as Liu Piaopiao's, he has also practiced martial arts at Jindaomen for many years. Not to mention this young man, even a seven-foot-old man would be stricken by this slap. The young man was beaten by this palm.
He spit out several teeth and continued to vomit blood. He did not dare to hide anything anymore. With his mouth full of blood, he told the owner and his wife what happened before he fainted.
Master Liu heard the young man say that the young master had brought a girl back to the village from outside the village. His son was probably still in the room at this moment. He sneered at Mrs. Liu and said, "You taught me a good son."
After saying this, Master Liu used Qing Kung Fu to rush into the fire. Mrs. Liu saw her husband rushing into the fire to look for his son, and knowing that Liu Piaopiao was a skilled martial artist, she screamed at everyone to put out the fire quickly.
Liu Piaopiao's feet kept flashing and moving in the flames, avoiding the layers of flames, and finally arrived in front of the door of Liuyi's room, shouting Liu Yi's name loudly.
Seeing no response, Liu Piaopiao mobilized his inner strength with both sleeves, and two icy air shot out from his sleeves. It was the cold air palm that Liu Piaopiao had practiced for many years. The icy air hit the burning body.
The door of the room shattered with a sound, and Master Liu rushed into the room.
Avoiding a blaze, Liu Piaopiao saw the fire on the ground that was like a dead dog. At this moment, half of his face had been burned by the fire. Master Liu couldn't bear to feel sorry for him. He hurriedly picked up his son, and the inner energy of his dantian surged out, and he was filled with awe.
The inner strength emitted gusts of cold wind, and actually suppressed the fire that filled the house. Seeing that the entire room had been burned by the fire, it was on the verge of collapse.
Master Liu closed his eyes and practiced his martial arts for a moment. As soon as he stepped on the ground, his whole body immediately flew into the air. The aura around him acted like a barrier, blocking the flames from being devoured. He hugged Liu Yi and came out, smashing the roof.
When he was in the air, Master Liu kicked out several pieces of wood and tiles to the outside of the courtyard. After breaking through the roof, the energy in his Dantian was transferred to his feet, stepping on the broken wood and tiles in the air, and with the help of these external objects.
With all his strength, he jumped out of the courtyard. As Lord Liu Zhuang landed, the west courtyard behind him could no longer withstand the erosion of the flames, and finally collapsed under the interweaving layers of flames.
Seeing that her husband had rescued her son from the sea of fire, Mrs. Liu rushed over with red eyes. Seeing that her son's cheeks had been burned by tongues of fire, she couldn't help but lose consciousness and burst into tears.
With a gloomy face, Master Liu put his son down gently on the ground, grabbed his son's wrist and checked Mr. Liu's inner breath. When he saw that his pulse was weak, he hurriedly transported his inner breath, and continuously poured his inner energy into his son's body, in order to save his son's life.
After a while, sensing that his son's inner breath had stabilized and knowing that his son's life had been saved, Master Liu withdrew his inner breath and stared gloomily at half of his son's burned face. Master Liu stood up slowly and said almost roaringly: "
Someone come!”
When the nurses who were still putting out the fire heard the village owner speaking, they all turned around and saluted: "Here you are!"
The owner of Liuzhuang gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "The woman probably hasn't escaped from Liuzhuang at this moment. Seal the inside and outside of Liuzhuang for me, dig the ground three feet, and find her!"
As the golden alarm sounded throughout the village, the guards all over the village blocked the water inside and outside the willow. The guards, ten in a row, carefully searched for the whereabouts of outsiders throughout the Liuzhuang.
Amidst the buzzing of people and the sound of walking, Gu Xiao and Lin'er were hiding in a rockery with water features.
Lin'er looked at Gu Xiao, with a hint of apology in her almond-shaped eyes, and said in a low voice: "Hey, I didn't expect that you would be involved in this matter."
Gu Xiaojian frowned, watching the nursing staff outside the rockery searching carefully, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking of a way out.
Hearing Lin'er's slightly guilty words, he lowered his voice and comforted: "Miss Lin'er, I am a nosy person. In the foot shop, if you hadn't acted for the sake of the store and rescued the enemy with wit, I would have taught you a lesson.
That group of people. It was my own idea to come to help you now, so there is no need to worry about it."
Lin'er watched as more and more people gathered in the Zhuangzhong Nursing Home, and the patrols became more and more intensive. I was afraid that the hiding place would be discovered sooner or later, so she said, "I'm afraid it's hard to take off today..." The word 'body' hadn't been uttered yet.
But Gu Xiao's palm covered his mouth.
Lin'er wanted to break away, but when he saw Gu Xiao making a silent gesture, he heard several rapid footsteps approaching near the rockery hiding place. It turned out that he had noticed that someone was coming to search the place. Lin'er
Er thought in his heart. He let Gu Xiao's palm cover his mouth. Gu Xiao did not dare to move at this moment, fearing that any noise would attract the attention of the guards outside the rockery.
"Fifth brother, I heard that someone set a fire in the west courtyard of the young master at night and burned the young master?" The person who spoke was the seventh person who was guarding the courtyard in front of the villa.
The fifth brother from the nursing home whispered: "What's more, I heard that the girl in green clothes that Mr. Liu brought back during the day did it. I heard that our son was even burned."
"How could that girl, who is so weak and weak, burn down the west courtyard silently?" The seventh nurse asked the fifth brother in confusion.
"Well, how do I know, but I heard that Liu Da and the others who were guarding the young master left Zhuangzi and secretly went to Liangzhou City to drink. Now they are in dire straits. They will not be able to escape the death penalty after they come back. I heard that Zhuangzi
The master was very angry and said that this girl must not have run out of Liuzhuang, so aren't all the nursing staff in the hospital searching the village?" The fifth nursing brother said to his brother.
