Is this what he was very angry about? "

The countess suddenly raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, she shook her head nervously, her words were full of fear: "No! Impossible! Randall is crazy! Totally crazy! Terry can't tell him! He can't Know!"

"Why? Why are you so sure?" Ronald's eyes suddenly became very sharp.

"Because...because..." The Countess was on the verge of collapse, she was trembling so much that she could hardly make a sound: "Because...Terry...already..."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the house, and a servant suddenly broke into the entertainment room. His face was flushed with anxiety, and he said out of breath to the people in the room: "It's not good! The Earl's room!" on fire!"

The author has something to say:

Chapter 15

The flames were seen at the edge of the garden, and when Ronald rushed to the earl's hut, most of the hut had already been submerged in the sea of ​​flames, and there was a tendency to spread.The big tree next to the cabin was split in two, and the burning half fell right on the cabin.The flames shot up into the sky, and the flames extended to the top of the big tree. Several newly burning branches snapped off and fell straight to the roof, igniting the rest of the hut.

Ronald saw the manservant named Bingley and the other two manservants running over from the well not far away with buckets in their hands, sweating profusely. A lot of water was lost.The first manservant who ran to the hut poured out the water in the bucket desperately, but because the fire was too big to get too close, the splashed water only extinguished a small area, and soon it became bigger and bigger. The ferocious flames struck, engulfing the small area that had been extinguished just now.

"That won't work! The fire is too big!" cried Ronald.

"Ah! Your Excellency!" The servant named Bingley saw Ronald, and he said out of breath, "Master Butler just rushed in, and the door caught fire after he entered! They must all be trapped It's inside!"

"How many people are there?" Ronald asked nervously.

"The earl and Lord Wendyford are both in the room, no matter what we call, there is no response from inside! My lord, what should we do?" Bentley was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Oh my God! Randall!" The countess also arrived at this time, hearing the servant's words, she almost fainted, and was helped by two maids beside her in time.The frightened faces of several women were flushed by the raging fire.

"We must go in and save people!" Ronald said as he took off his coat.

"How to get in? The fire is too big!" Bentley said anxiously.

Ronald didn't answer, he snatched the bucket from the servant's hand, soaked his coat in the bucket, took it out and put it on his body, took a deep breath, and immediately covered his mouth and nose with his wet sleeve, Straight into the flames.

Ronald only felt that his surroundings were burning, and he couldn't tell what was burning.The heat wave hit his face, the thick smoke made it difficult for him to breathe, and the crackling sound of burning wood was all in his ears.He stepped over several obstacles with difficulty, and suddenly he faintly heard someone shouting.

"My lord! Are you okay? I'll come right over!"

Ronald looked around and saw a figure in the firelight.The man was struggling to move a burning piece of furniture and a pile of twigs out of his way.

"Gerald!" Ronald saw the man clearly and shouted with difficulty, and then he was coughed by a puff of smoke.

The butler turned around in surprise and saw Ronald walking towards him with difficulty.

"Master Hurst! It's too dangerous here! What are you doing...?"

"Where is the Earl?" Ronald interrupted him.

"It's right in front! But this damn table and branches are lying here, blocking the way!" After the butler finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing.

"Those branches are too thick to move! Here! The table is burning, break it!"

So the two joined forces and kicked hard towards the burning table.After a few strokes, the table collapsed, causing a burst of sparks.There was a gap in the wall of fire in front of them, and the two of them got through one after another.

There was still fire all around, and it took Ronald a lot of effort to figure out that they were now in a room where burning furniture kept collapsing and ashes fell from the ceiling from time to time.He followed closely behind the butler, every step he took was difficult and frightening.

"I saw my lord! My lord! Get out of here with us!" the housekeeper shouted anxiously.

Ronald followed the direction pointed by the butler and saw the Earl who was trapped in the room.He was still wearing a brocade nightgown, and his tall body stood amidst the raging flames.Behind him was a simple big bed. The big bed was not on fire, but the raging flames were slowly approaching.Some burning furniture stood between them.

When the count saw the two men coming towards him, there was a glimmer of hope in his anxious eyes, and he shouted to them: "Quick! Terry said he can't get out from here! Come and help me!"

At this time, the butler who was walking in front paused and stood there in a daze.Ronald saw him trembling all over.After being stunned for a moment, the butler immediately tried to remove the unfired obstacle in front of him.Ronald hurried over to help.

"My lord! Let's find a way to get there right away!" the butler shouted inside.

"Terry, it's okay, we can go out soon, just be patient." The Earl turned his head and said into the room.

"My lord, please! Don't worry about that! Come quickly!" the butler begged eagerly.

"What are you talking about? How can I leave Terry! We must find a way to get him out!" the count roared.Ronald struggled to look behind the earl, the flames were already licking the edge of the big bed, a set of elegant gentleman's clothing was neatly placed on the bed, and there was no shadow of beauty anywhere.

"Be careful behind you!" At this moment, the housekeeper and Ronald suddenly shouted at the same time.

Behind the earl, a piece of the roof suddenly caved in and landed on half of the bed. The flames spread rapidly, engulfing the neatly arranged gentleman's attire in an instant.

"No! Terry! Terry! I'm here to save you!" The count turned around and threw himself on the burning bed like crazy, desperately trying to extinguish the burning clothes.

"My lord! It's dangerous!" the butler shouted, trying to rush towards the wall of fire in front of him.But more parts of the roof fell down, forcing him to stop again: "My lord! Please don't worry about that! Terry is not here at all! There is no one else here!" Nader almost thought he was going to break down.

Ronald quickly pulled the housekeeper aside, and at this moment, he heard a "boom", the beams mixed with tree branches hit the place where they were standing just now, thick smoke and heat waves hit their faces, making the two of them cough .It wasn't until they opened their eyes to see the surrounding situation clearly that they realized that the collapsed beams had completely blocked the earl indoors.The fire spread quickly and became more and more intense, forming an insurmountable wall of fire in front of them.

The two anxiously searched for the figure of the earl through the fire wall, only to see that he tried his best to rescue the suit from the fire and sat on the ground, slumped in his arms, completely unaware of the large-scale collapse just behind him, and He still couldn't help but comfort him: "Aren't you hurt? Terry, it's all right! It's all right!" His firm figure and broad body tightly protected the treasure in his arms.For a moment, Ronald clearly saw that the Earl's resolute face was soft at this time, and he lowered his head, as if he was rubbing shoulders with a figure, calmly and quietly enjoying the only time in the hellish flames. belongs to their happiness.The earl opened his mouth again, as if whispering softly, with infinite tenderness, Ronald couldn't hear what he was saying, but felt that the figure in the earl's arms became more and more real, more moving and haggard than the one in the painting.I saw that person turned his head slowly with the slightest degree, and looked towards this side. It was a pair of foggy eyes, flashing an unforgettable orchid, but the eyes showed resentment and sadness.Everything happened in an instant, without leaving Ronald any time to think, the entire roof of the room where the count was sitting collapsed, obscuring Ronald's sight.

"Big...people..." Seeing the scene in front of them, both of them were stunned, and Steward Gerald was even more unwilling to believe that his master had completely disappeared before his eyes.

The two stood in a daze for a moment, and Ronald was the first to react: "The whole house will collapse soon, you can't stay here! Get out of here!"

"No! My lord!" The butler ignored Ronald completely, and suddenly wanted to rush forward desperately, but was dragged in the opposite direction vigorously by Ronald.

In this way, Ronald dragged the desperate butler through the sea of ​​flames. There were more obstacles on the way and the flames became more intense.Can't care so much anymore, he took the young man whose sanity almost collapsed and ran all the way, behind him was the loud noise of a building collapsing.

Just when Ronald was about to lose his way, a door came into view through the flames, and a breeze that only belonged to the outdoors was brought from outside the door.That's the exit!Escape from hell's exit!With the last of his strength, Ronald dragged the housekeeper and rushed out. For a moment, he felt cool and comfortable all over his body. The evening wind blew on his face, sweeping away the scorching heat of hell. He greedily sucked in the fresh and humid air, I feel a few drops of coolness on my face, as if it is the holy water that can purify the soul, wash away the dust, and redeem the world.There was chaos all around, some people were calling, some were crying, some were screaming, some were
