Chapter 23: Escape from Heaven

It seemed to be a long time, and it seemed to be only a moment. When Mu Li opened his eyes from the coma, he felt a trance feeling of not knowing where he was.

It was Zhan Zhao's voice that brought her back to reality. He was still bent over and hugging Mu Li, his face covered with dust and sweat, but he still couldn't hide his anxious expression. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked hoarsely, "Are you okay?"

Mu Li shook his head subconsciously, his eyes were dull for a moment, and then he remembered the situation in the fire scene just now, the suffocating fireworks, the scorching high temperature, the broken and collapsed wooden beams... unexpectedly escaped from the sky, and all beards came out, She turned her head with difficulty, and found that the fire had been extinguished, and they were farther away from the fire scene. Looking at it from a distance, only the soldiers and servants were left on the burnt ruins to deal with the funeral.

The great joy of surviving the catastrophe welled up in his heart, and Mu Li couldn't help showing a big smile on his face, and the first sentence he uttered was:

"Zhan Zhao, we're still alive."

Zhan Zhao had just returned from the scene of the fire, and couldn't help laughing after hearing it, then straightened his face, and said seriously: "It's a big loss, nothing happened after all this nonsense, it can be seen that it is God's protection."

Mu Li gave a guilty laugh, knowing that it was too risky to hit the wooden beam by herself just now, so she quickly changed the subject: "Where are the two people you rescued? Are they... still alive?" After asking, my heart sank Suddenly, with such a big fire and heavy smoke, the situation of the two of them is not optimistic. Thinking of this, Mu Li looked up at Zhan Zhao worriedly.

Sure enough, Zhan Zhao frowned, with a painful expression on his face, and said, "When I rushed in, the fire wasn't that big, but there were basically no... intact people in the building, and the rescued two One is still a child, and he was still angry when he came out, and Mai Peng has already sent him to the doctor, I don't know what will happen."

Muchen's throat tightened for a moment. She didn't feel it just now, but now she felt like she was falling apart, and her throat was even dry and sore. She slowly digested what Zhan Zhao had just said. Two children, no more alive?Douzi, Fat Li and the others... If it wasn't because of her... the joy of escaping from the dead just now seemed to be transformed into some tangible force and hit her heavily. He vomited twice with his face turned to support his body, but his entire throat was constricted, and nothing was vomited out. His eye sockets were dry, and there was no feeling of tears at all. Instead, he seemed to be on fire.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and patted Muli's back to comfort her. He didn't know what to say for a while, and said after a while, "Are you injured in any way? Do you want me to take you to see Mr. Gongsun?" Muli just stared blankly. Looking at Zhan Zhao, as if he didn't understand what he said, Zhan Zhao sighed, stretched out his hand to help her up, supported her arm with one hand, and supported her waist with the other hand, and asked, "Can you still do it?" go?"

Mu Li subconsciously took a step forward, and immediately gasped in pain, but the pain also brought her back to her senses, to see Mr. Gongsun?The person she is most afraid of seeing now is Mr. Gongsun, especially afraid that he will see a doctor for her.Mu Li stretched out Zhao's hand to support her, tried to pull out a smile and said: "I'm fine, just rest for a while, but you, who have been in the fire for so long, hurry up and see Mr. Gongsun." After speaking, he sat down on the spot , bowed his head and hugged his knees, and stopped talking.

Mu Li didn't hear the expected footsteps, Mu Li looked up, and saw Zhan Zhao sitting down, he was facing her, very close, Mu Li raised his head, and could feel Zhan Zhao's breath, There was a slight buzzing in Muchen's head, and she subconsciously moved back. Suddenly, her shoulder hurt, and Zhan Zhao stretched out her hand to hold it.Mu Li almost burst into tears, only to remember that he had hit hard in the fire just now, probably broke his shoulder, and if he didn’t break a bone, he would have sprained his tendons. But Zhan Zhao's pinching was too accurate.Mu Li hissed twice, slapped Zhan Zhao's hand off, and looked up at him angrily.

Zhan Zhao had a helpless expression on his face, and said, "A few pieces of your shoulder bones are broken, and your arm will be useless if you don't straighten it."

It turned out that he wanted to set her bones, but didn't know how to say hello in advance?Muchen was a little annoyed, but he didn't win Zhang Zhanzhao's hand anymore.Zhan Zhao was careful and moved as neatly as possible, but he couldn't help but doubt in his heart. Logically speaking, if the shoulder bone is broken, not only the shoulder, but the whole arm will be affected, not to mention that the pain is not something ordinary people can bear. Her arm can still move, as if nothing happened, just now he stretched out his hand to pinch her shoulder, deliberately didn't remind her, she didn't react much, Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, is this not afraid of pain?Or... no pain at all?

Mu Li was also not at peace at this time, she knew that Zhan Zhao found many things wrong with her, wounds that healed quickly, broken bones that healed quickly... almost all injuries, she could heal in the shortest time, and the recovery was even faster than It was better before the injury, which really doesn't seem like the ability that a normal person should have.But Zhan Zhao didn't ask anything, she didn't say anything, and she didn't know what to say.Even when she herself discovered the rapid healing of the wound for the first time, the shock in her heart was indescribable. When Bai Guang told her in prison that night, the few words about the Sahara flower, she felt absurd when she heard it. It's nonsense, but when Bai Guang's prophecies were fulfilled in her body one by one, she couldn't help but not believe it.However, this kind of ability did not make her feel half happy. Although Bai Guang didn't say it explicitly, she also knew that there was never a real pie in the sky. All pies, whether it was beforehand or afterward, required a price ...

Mu Li closed her eyes, she would definitely find a solution, didn't Bai Guang leave her the "Medical Classics Commentary"?When she calms down, she will think about it carefully, as long as she completes what she should complete first...

Zhan Zhao bandages up very quickly. Muli knows that after setting the bone, she can't move around, otherwise the bone will grow crooked, and her arm will be useless, so she doesn't move around right now. Looking at the ruins from afar, she couldn't help but ask with a glimmer of hope. : "Are there... many rescued people?"

The look on Zhan Zhao's face extinguished the last bits of hope in Mu Li's heart. He said, "Except for the restaurant, although the nearby shops were on fire, everyone was rescued, but a few were seriously burned." He paused before continuing, "Most of the people in the restaurant died before the fire broke out."

Mu Li was startled, something flashed in his heart, but he couldn't catch it, and heard Zhan Zhao's voice next to his ear, continuing: "Before the fire started, the restaurant exploded first, you saw it before, It was that explosion that killed most of the people in the restaurant, and traces of burning oil were found in many places in the restaurant."

Numerous thoughts flashed through Muqin's mind, and he subconsciously said, "Fire oil burning?"

Zhan Zhao nodded: "It should be a kind of kerosene from the Western Regions, which is very rare in Middle Earth." He frowned as he spoke, "As for the explosion, it looks like Lei Mingtang's..."

"Hu Qingtian, Lei Mingtang's abandoned disciple, the blockbuster Miao Leishen among the Seven Wonderful Men." Mu Li's voice was calm and steady, but there was a faint sense of ruthlessness in his bottomless eyes. color.

************************************************** ************

Douzi's life has been extremely good recently, if it wasn't for the fact that the proprietress had conflicts with the guests in the inn, and even stretched out her hand to injure them, which made him very worried for a while, his life would definitely be better.

Generally speaking, the days with Qiao Ya, oh, and the nights are all very beautiful.

Every time when he reluctantly leaves Qiaoya, Douzi will feel a little melancholy thinking that he has already collected enough money to beg for a wife these years, if it wasn't for the widow Qiao in the tailor shop, Qiaoya's mother, who disagreed with him life and death. Regarding the matter of the two, he, Douzi, has long embraced the beauty.

So when Douzi slipped out from the back door of the tailor's shop and touched Qiaoya's white and tender little hand protruding from the crack of the door that day, when Douzi was still in the daylight, what he was thinking about was how to persuade Widow Qiao to promise Qiaoya to him, perhaps, to find the proprietress. It’s all right to discuss it, maybe the proprietress can find him a good matchmaker with a flexible mouth, but there is really no good matchmaker, if the proprietress is willing to help him personally, there is no reason for Widow Qiao not to agree... Thinking of this, Dou Zi made up his mind to pay attention, no matter what, Qiao Ya, he is married!

From inside the wooden door came Qiaoya's soft but nostalgic farewell voice, her white and tender little fingers wrapped around Dou Zi's palm, drawing small circles all the time, as if trying to enclose his heart.Douzi's hands were itchy, and he said to himself silently, this girl, he wants to treat her well, one hundred and one thousand.

Until he turned the East Street, Douzi still reluctantly looked back at every step, the tailor shop had long since disappeared, only the numb feeling in the palm of his hand was still there, itching all the way to his heart.He smirked twice, the corners of his mouth reached to the ears, and he couldn't take it back.

Until I saw the ruins of Taibai Residence.

Douzi was dumbfounded, he thought he must have gone wrong, otherwise why couldn't he see the signboard of Taibaiju?Taibaiju is the largest restaurant in Kaifeng City, especially the 20-year-old Nuerhong, which is a must in the capital. Once the green cloth wine curtain is hung outside, you can see it from a distance. There are endless guests every day , endless dishes...

What about Taibaiju?

Douzi's mind was foggy, and he forgot to even panic for a while. He stretched out his hand to stop a passerby, but without seeing who it was, he asked right away, "Where's Taibaiju?"

The man looked at him twice as if he was seeing a ghost, pointed to the ruins beside him and said, "Isn't there, are you looking? Hey, the fire yesterday was so burned..." Douzi didn't hear a word after that, he mechanically He asked again: "What about the lady boss?"

The man was interrupted, the boss was unhappy, curled his lips and said: "I heard from the elder brother here yesterday that none of the people in the restaurant ran out, and the proprietress, the queen mother was burned to death inside." Said After he felt a pain in his head, he was slapped by the daughter-in-law next to him, and spat out, "You bastard, you kept saying that the queen mother was also arranged by you? Spit it out for me..."

The man was dragged away by his wife, Douzi didn't move, he didn't see clearly, he felt numb all over, from his fingers to the root of his hair, the man walked away, before he had time to ask Fat Li and Ah Huang, But the proprietress really burned to death?how can that be possible?When I saw the proprietress a while ago, she was still smiling, making fun of herself and Qiao Ya, how could it be possible?No, no, yesterday Ah Huang said that the proprietress was taken away by the master of Kaifeng Mansion and never came back. When he sneaked out at night, he did not see the proprietress back. The proprietress must have stayed in Kaifeng Mansion!Certainly!

Like a drowning man catching a piece of driftwood, the proprietress suddenly became the only support for Douzi. He turned his head to look left and right, and suddenly ran away. He had to go to Kaifeng Mansion to find the proprietress, who would tell him what to do. do...

One street, two streets, the gate of the government office was in the distance. Douzi was panting a little while running, he stopped while holding on to the wall, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, the government office did not catch fire...

Dou Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a "bang", as if it exploded behind his head. Immediately afterwards, the darkness was accompanied by overwhelming pain, Dou Zi's eyes went black, and he didn't know anything.
