Inside the ancestral hall, Lu Anan jumped back a few steps holding an umbrella, avoiding the rubble and beams that had fallen due to the collapse of the entrance. At this time, the fire at the entrance started again, and the flames climbed up the surrounding wooden beams wantonly, completely blocking the exit.

Lu Anan's eyes wandered between the ruins and the flames, with a complicated expression.

[This is good, I'm the one who gets burned to ashes. ]

She turned her head to look at the brightly lit inner hall, thought about the current scene inside, and her body shuddered involuntarily.

[Eh~ Never mind, I'd better not go through the inner hall. The meat should be grilled inside by now. I'd better not go through. It's like a horror movie.]

[I remember looking at the map of the ancestral hall at that time. It seemed that there was a side door next to the ancestral hall. I went to look for it. I had to go out quickly. I felt that the water in the umbrella was about to become boiling water. It was so hot! ]

Lu Anan held an umbrella, bathed in the heavy rain, and shuttled through the firelight. The scene looked full of fantasy.

She wiped her dripping face and boasted to the customer service.

[I'm not bragging, I must look awesome right now, what's that saying? A strong woman never looks back at an explosion, it really suits me right now, alas, it's a pity that no one appreciates my heroic appearance. ]

[Customer service, why don’t you record it for me, and then I’ll show off to my parents when I go out.]

【Customer Service: ...OK.】

Lu Anan followed the route to the side door and saw a small figure lying not far ahead.

She took a few steps closer, and after seeing who that figure was, her heart tightened, and she whispered softly, "Xiao Shi?"

She hurried forward, squatted beside Xiao Shi, and held the umbrella over Xiao Shi's head, relieving the heat all over Xiao Shi's body.

After checking Xiao Shi's body and feeling his pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully, "Fortunately, he just fainted from the heat and is not injured."

Then, she pinched Xiao Shi's Ren Zhong acupoint with her fingertips and called softly, "Xiao Shi?"

Xiao Shi's consciousness slowly awakened in the call. When he opened his eyes for the first time, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Lu Anan.

However, the next second, her mouth pursed, her eyes quickly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she softly called out, "Sister..."

Just after shouting, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly covered his lips with his little hands, his eyes full of panic and anxiety, secretly glancing at Lu Anan.

Lu Anan smiled and touched Xiao Shi's head, comforting him: "It's okay, sister knows you are not mute."

Xiao Shi finally felt relieved and said in a depressed mood: "Sister, the village chief is very good."

Hearing this, Lu Anan was silent for a moment before responding gently, "Yes, I know."

Xiao Shi's tears fell, and he said intermittently: "Sister, the village chief..."

Halfway through his words, Xiao Shi couldn't continue and could only let the tears flow, crying and hiccuping.

Lu Anan picked up Xiao Shi and said as she walked, "Sister will take you out first."

She had just walked to the side door with Xiao Shi in her arms when another beam fell down. In order to protect Xiao Shi in her arms, Lu Anan dodged sideways, but due to the cramped space, there was no way to avoid it, and the beam finally hit Lu Anan hard.

"Hmm..." With a muffled groan, Lu Anan frowned slightly, hugged Xiao Shi tightly in her arms, continued to quicken her pace, and hurried out through the side door.

Finally seeing the light of day again, she relaxed, bent down and put down Xiao Shi in her arms, only to find that her shoulder was cut by a long wound caused by the broken beam during the collapse.

She touched it lightly and let out a suppressed cry of pain: "Hiss——"

Xiao Shi raised his childish face, his eyes full of endless worry and concern for Lu Anan, "Sister, you are bleeding!"

Lu Anan endured the pain, raised a gentle smile, patted Xiao Shi's head gently, and comforted: "It's okay, it's a minor injury, sister can handle it, don't worry, Xiao Shi."

She casually stopped the bleeding, her eyes wandering around involuntarily, with a hint of confusion lingering between her brows.

[Where is this place? It seems to be out of the scope of Yunling Village? ]

As their thoughts were flying, an old lady quietly walked into their sight. She was wrapped tightly, with only a pair of deep eyes looking at them, and slowly approached them.

Lu Anan cautiously protected Xiao Shi tightly behind her, and her cold voice was a little wary: "Who are you?"

After hearing this, the old lady stood still and stopped moving forward. She looked carefully at the two people in front of her. Then, a burst of laughter came from behind the layers of veils.

"My dear, I found a little girl and I can make a big dinner tonight."

Lu Anan opened her eyes wide, pointed at herself, and said uncertainly: "Huh? You want to eat me?"

[Is the big meal referring to me? My big cotton-padded jacket, did I meet Hannibal or a cannibal? 】

Her eyes, flashing with eagerness, were fixed on the old lady. She was secretly calculating where to start to knock the old lady down. However, the next second, an inexplicable dizziness suddenly hit her, catching her off guard.

Lu Anan widened her eyes in astonishment, steadied herself, and whispered in disbelief: "You will..."

Before she finished speaking, she could no longer hold on and her body went limp. In the last second before she lost consciousness, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Anan's mind, and in the end she still thought in disbelief.

[I never thought that one day I would be drugged. ]

ancestral hall.

Firefighters shuttled back and forth between flames and ashes, finally putting out the growing fire. The crumbling ruins also gained temporary peace, no longer making the heart-pounding collapse sound.

In the midst of this devastation, several firefighters who were searching for survivors slowly walked out from the depths of the ruins, exhausted.

Fu Zhiyan and the other two, who had been tightly blocked, rushed over immediately, followed closely by Gu Tingyan and Gu Shichuan, whose steps were also hurried and heavy.

Lu Yanli's eyes were fixed on the returning firefighters, his voice trembling slightly with anxiety: "Where's my sister? Why didn't you bring her out?"

A firefighter shook his head silently.

The air around him seemed to freeze suddenly, and time became unusually slow at this moment. Gu Shichuan's eyes lost focus, and he muttered to himself, his voice full of disbelief: "Shaking your head...what does that mean?"

Lu Rongyu, who was watching quietly at the side, had a hint of surprise in her eyes. Lu Anan was burned to death?

Lu Yanli grabbed the collar of the firefighter who shook his head, and yelled with red eyes: "Say something! Where's my sister!"

At this time, another firefighter quickly intervened and rescued his colleague from Lu Yanli. He quickly explained: "Mr. Lu, calm down. After our careful investigation, we did not find Miss Lu at the fire scene. We noticed that there were traces of moisture at the side door, and the door was open. Miss Lu may have found a way to escape before the fire spread."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere around them also relaxed.

Only Lu Rongyu held her breath in her heart, neither letting it go.

After Fu Zhiyan received the news, his trembling hands slowly calmed down. He turned to the firefighter beside him and said with a hint of imperceptible urgency, "Which direction is the side door?"

The firefighter raised his hand and pointed to one side: "The side door is over there, but we still need to search further, you can go and check it out first."

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhiyan felt relieved. Knowing that Lu Anan had already come out of the fire scene, his tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment.

He knew that as long as Lu Anan came out safely, with her ability, she should be back soon, so he turned to look at Lu Wenjing's wound and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with your abdominal injury?"
