After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Xueying pulled out the hairpin on her head and said slowly: "This magnolia hairpin was the token of love he gave me. It was always hidden at the bottom of the dressing box. Today, for some reason, I wore it on a whim. Coming out, I didn’t expect that now that I think about it, it turned out to be a kind of destiny.”

Shen Ruoyan looked at the hairpin illuminated by the firelight. The texture of the white jade was not very good, but it was covered with a smooth and translucent light. It could be seen that someone often held it in their hands and touched it, which formed such a film.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but feel sorry for Xueying. Although her tone was calm when she mentioned the past, she must still be thinking about that man in her heart.

Patting Xueying's shoulder, Shen Ruoyan smiled and said: "It's okay, everything will be fine. Aren't we still alive now? There is hope when we are alive!"

Xueying raised her head and showed a bitter smile to Shen Ruoyan, "I am still alive now, but I don't know what will happen next moment."

Seeing her dejected look, Shen Ruoyan blurted out: "Don't say such depressing words, I won't let you die here!"

People are so strange. Shen Ruoyan was originally extremely scared, but once she thought about protecting others, she became brave.

If she lives another life, she will definitely be a person favored by God. The devastating earthquake last time could not kill her. There is no reason why she should die in this small fire.

You can definitely escape!

Sure can!

Once she calmed down, Shen Ruoyan's mind began to work quickly, and she muttered about the endless road ahead, while looking around.

Suddenly, Shen Ruoyan discovered that the floor mat beside her feet was very thick, and there was no smoke at all from the area covered by it.She originally thought that since this was the upper wind, there would be less smoke, but now it seems that the bottom pad also played a role.

Shen Ruoyan hunched over and walked to the edge of the mat. When she lifted it up, she found that there was a layer of white-grey stuff under the mat.

Xueying also walked to her side and explained: "This is a unique craft of our Qingwu Town. Mix the five materials of white clay, tung oil, reed ash, and lime into one piece, and then mix it with glutinous rice paste and spread it on the cloth. Behind the back, the floor mat made in this way is solid and durable, does not get wet by water, and does not burn when heated by fire..."

At this point, Xueying paused, her eyes shining with hope.

"Won't it burn if heated by fire?" Shen Ruoyan held the mat as if she had found some treasure, and told Xueying her plan, "Let's cut this mat into strips, then connect them one by one and hang them outside as a Can’t we climb down with a rope?”

Xueying nodded, but said worriedly: "But the outside of this attic is also full of fire!"

Shen Ruoyan patted her shoulder, "Although it's burning outside, if we go faster, we may suffer some minor injuries, but it's better than dying here, right?"

Seeing the hope of survival, Xueying also became motivated, and worked together with Shen Ruoyan to drag the bottom mat in front of her.

Shen Ruoyan visually measured the area of ​​the mat, and her heart skipped a beat again.

This is the top floor, which is more than ten feet high from the ground. For such a small piece of bottom mat, if the cloth strips are cut too thin, they may not be able to support their weight. If they are made thick, they may not be able to make an escape of sufficient length. rope.

Just when the two were helpless, Lu Yan walked over from the thick smoke, followed by Shuyao, who had been separated since the fire.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan wearing Lu Yan's clothes, Shuyao's expression suddenly became extremely bad.

"Those people outside have been taken care of." Lu Yan strode over and said to Shen Ruoyan, "But now that it has been burning for so long, I am worried that the outer wall is already very fragile and there is a risk of collapse at any time. It may not be able to withstand the two of us. weight."

Shen Ruoyan nodded, she couldn't escape alone now, she had to take Xueying with her.

"But there is a big tree to the east." Lu Yan continued, "I can hold you and jump to the tree. You may get some bruises, but it will never be a serious problem."

After Lu Yan finished speaking, he was about to pick up Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan quickly avoided it, and in Lu Yan's puzzled eyes, she revealed her discovery: "This bottom pad can be used as an escape rope, but it's not long enough. Is the big tree you mentioned far away? Are we? You can hang this rope on a tree to form a rope in the air, so maybe everyone can escape!"

Shuyao listened on the sidelines and couldn't help complaining: "Don't waste your time! By the time you finish the rope, the fire will have scorched us. Senior Brother Lu, let's go!"

Shuyao couldn't understand that at this moment, she still had to care what others did!

Isn't it the most important thing to survive on your own?

If Senior Brother Lu hadn't insisted on coming back to find this woman just now, they would have escaped long ago.

After listening to Shuyao's words, Shen Ruoyan became angry and pointed at the people who were running to seek refuge one after another and said: "Look at them, each of them is a living person, and there are family members and friends behind them. , are so many human lives a waste of time in your eyes? If you were to leave like this today, wouldn’t your conscience be uneasy? "

Because she was so excited, Shen Ruoyan took a big puff of smoke and couldn't stop coughing.

Lu Yan pulled Shen Ruoyan over, patted her back gently, and said to Shuyao, "If you want to leave, go ahead. I'll stay."

Seeing her sweetheart looking at her with such disappointed eyes, Shuyao froze on the spot, her face burning with pain.

Seeing that she refused to leave, Lu Yan said to Shuyao, "Go and gather the rest of the people."

In response to Lu Yan's words, Shuyao did not dare to resist, turned around and walked back.

Lu Yan took out the soft sword from his waist and cut the solid floor mat into even strips of cloth with a few swipes.

Shen Ruoyan also stopped coughing and said to the people around her: "Let's all help, tie up these strips of cloth and make ropes, and we will have a chance to escape."

When they heard that there was a chance of escape, the people around them immediately squatted down, picked up two strips of cloth, and began to tie them.

The people who came to the banquet today were all well-known local people, and they were not good at this kind of work. In addition, there was still thick smoke floating in the air, and the vision in front of them was very blurred, which made it a lot more difficult.But due to the large number of people, everyone quickly made the strips of cloth into a rope, but unfortunately the length was still far from enough.

"Hey, it's only so long, we are dead this time." One person sighed.

"What are you saying to be dejected? Everyone, take off your clothes and tie them at the back to increase the length!" Shen Ruoyan said to her without raising her head.

Xueying frowned and reminded: "But our clothes are not fireproof either."
