By the time the fire finally goes out and people can enter, it is already more than half an hour later.
The fire-fighting soldiers ran out one by one, with some burns on their face and body. They hurried the doctor over to check, and Song Huaiyi sent another team to check in. If there was a flame that had not extinguished, It must be extinguished, and if there is a possibility of collapse of the house beam, it must be dealt with.
Finally, when these people came out, they said, "It's safe."
As soon as I heard it, the subconscious had to move outside the car door.
But before I got out, Pei Yuanxiu said outside, "You can't go in."
"why?"
"You're pregnant," he said a little harder this time. "You can't enter this place, whether it's dangerous or not."
"..."
I just remembered that when I was in Huai'an, they killed people outside the door and were said to have smashed the child in my stomach. Now this official was burned down by the fire, and many people must have died. It would only be worse than ever to see the dead.
Seeing me holding still, he said again, "Not allowed out."
"..."
I bit my lower lip, a little bit sloppy, and then looked up to see his firm, completely incomprehensible look, and finally nodded.
He was relieved, and asked several people to come over and guard the carriage. No matter what happened, they were not allowed to leave here. Then he brought a team of horses and entered with Song Huaiyi, the Cui family, and Xie Ye. The official scorch burnt black.
I just curled up and sat by the window, looking out.
Light smoke continued to emerge from the ruins, and the heat was still there. I could hear the water splashing on the hot wall and the noisy sound from the stone wall. They were a team of people. After entering, everyone almost held their breath, silently watching the scorched door, waiting for the reaction inside.
My heart was almost stagnant.
I don't know how long it took before Pei Yuanxiu came out slowly.
Although the temperature inside was still very hot, many people were sweating in and out when they went in and out, and they were stained with a lot of carbon stucco. Only he went in and out, and his gown was still spotless except for his face. His expression turned paler and there was not even a drop of sweat on his face, and frost had condensed in those eyes.
He stepped out slowly and stopped at the door.
Song Huaiyi followed them out, but the situation of these people was not so good, probably the situation inside was too terrible. After Song Xuan came out, his face was already unable to conceal the pain, when he stepped out of the threshold He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Song Yan aside grabbed his arm and whispered, "Be careful."
"Ok……"
Cui Tai and his son, who came out behind, did not look good either.
When I saw them like this, I hurried out of the carriage and approached, and when I saw me coming, Pei Yuanxiu stepped down the steps and stopped me under the stone steps.
I tempted to look in, and he opened his arms, "You can't look."
"I--"
Even so, I still couldn't block my view. I saw some things near the gate at a glance-such as the dark ground, such as collapsed house beams, such as a corpse that had been burnt and deformed.
With only one glance, my face became pale, and Pei Yuanxiu immediately took a step forward, blocking his sight with his body rigorously, and his tone became almost harsh: "I said, don't look ! "
This time, without his orders, I didn't even dare to lift my head again.
Cui Tai came over and said softly, "My son, this way, I'm afraid I can't find any clues."
Pei Yuanxiu frowned, and asked, "What about the rest of the city?"
Song Huaiyi hurriedly said, "There is no resistance at all, and no defenders can be found."
Pei Yuan Xiu said: "From the situation of your battle last night, at least hundreds of soldiers in the city guards have just seen inside-but dozens of people and hundreds of people have disappeared out of thin air. ? "
At this time, Song Ye and Song Xuan came over, Song Ye said softly, "Will it be when the gates were opened in the early morning that they rushed out among the refugees?"
Pei Yuanxiu was silent.
The people around were also silent for a moment. At present it seems that this is the most likely.
From what he said just now, there are dead people in the officials, burned dozens of them, and some of them are out of the city among the refugees. Now, is there no one in the Cangzhou city who has an official government? Are the soldiers guarding the city?
Of course, they can send people to the city to ask ordinary people who have been unable to escape and are like corpses.
But such a secret thing, I'm afraid that the generals who keep the city may not know a few people, let alone these ordinary people, it is impossible to spread the news.
They let those exiles rush out of the city, burned the officials and killed so many people. Isn't it just to protect this secret?
Thinking of this, I also trembled slightly.
For one person and one secret, these people can do this step, and even give up their lives!
For them, maybe life is important, but there are some things more important than life!
At this time, I didn't dare to look at Song Xuan's face, but I could still feel his heart moved and suffering at this moment. Pei Yuanxiu frowned and said nothing, and everyone around him was silent at this moment.
At that moment, Xie Xuan stepped out from behind.
He said, "My son, look!"
When Pei Yuanxiu heard his voice, he turned around in a hurry, and I looked up, and saw that Xie Yi's face and body were stained with a lot of coal ash. Yes, and both of his hands were blackened with charcoal, but there was something not so dark on the palm of his hand.
It was a small, satin-like thing, and it was burnt all around. It was probably the only thing left unburned, and I didn't know where Xie Yun came from.
Pei Yuanxiu frowned immediately.
With a little recognition, I also murmured in my heart.
Although this thing was found out by him from the fire and the surroundings were also scorched, in the sun, this thing slowly gave out a bright yellow luster, which was its original luster.
Bright yellow!
