Traveling through ancient times.

Yucui and Yunxin finally ran out of the house, but they forgot to take their lanterns with them. They stumbled all the way, and halfway through, they saw a group of people holding lanterns rushing towards them.

Looking closely, I saw that the two people walking in front were Xiaoyi and Xiaoyu, who were doing odd jobs in the backyard, and the old man in the middle was the local celebrity of Fusong Town, Liu Enchang, who became a Jinshi in the ninth year of Tongen.

After twenty or thirty years of ups and downs in officialdom, he finally returned to his hometown and was elected as a local celebrity.

Following him were a few middle-aged men, two of whom were his second and third sons, and the others were his neighbors.

Yucui and the other girl looked at what was in front of them and then looked at each other. Who asked them to go?

Could it be a young lady? It could only be a young lady.

But when did the young lady ask them to go out and look for someone?

But they were still a little puzzled. These two girls were usually like quails. With the scene at night, shouldn't they have been scared and hidden away long ago?

It seems that Miss has never communicated with them before?

In any case, now that they saw Mr. Liu coming, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

When Old Liu saw Yucui and Yunxin, he was immediately surprised, "What are you doing..."

Both of them had blood on their faces and bodies, looking extremely disheveled.

Just as Yunxin was about to speak, Yucui burst into tears, "Please ask Master Liu to help our young lady. Uncle, he... not only did they have people bully me and Xin'er, but they also wanted to kill her after she found out. Master Liu, help me..."

Just now, Xiaoyi and Xiaoyu only said that Miss Jiang was in danger, but they didn't explain why.

Liu Enchang was supported by Mr. Jiang because of his past relationship with Jiang Mingcheng. He had no money for the imperial examination.

Later he returned to Fusong Town, and the two families often visited each other.

So in the middle of the night, even if only two little girls from the Jiang family came to find him, he got up without hesitation.

His two sons were worried and followed him.

The neighbors who were close to them also followed the two of them to show their power.

"Why are you like this? What happened? Where is your lady?" Liu Enchang was so angry that his beard was shaking.

Yucui cried, "Grandpa, please go and take a look. The young lady is almost killed by them. The uncle...he is crazy, he wants to burn the young lady to death..."

Everyone was shocked, and one person shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. Master Liu, let's go over and take a look first."

…………

The houses of this era were all made of earth and wood, and in the dry autumn, they could be ignited by a little spark.

The smoke seeped in through the cracks in the door and window frames, and Jiang Yizhou could only stuff as many of the original owner's clothes as possible into the gaps.

Many people who died in fires died from suffocation due to thick smoke.

She is now doing her best and leaving the rest to fate.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he started to counterattack, he would encounter such a fatal blow.

She increasingly felt that the original owner's weakness was a manifestation of her wisdom.

Just like me, without the emotional bond of the original owner, and with a golden finger that raised my strength to that of an ordinary person, wouldn't I also be suppressed in front of these people?

Previously, she was able to take down several servants with two maids at once, not only because she killed them right away and it was unexpected, but also because although these servants trampled on her, at least at that moment they did not dare to really kill her. So she had a slight advantage.

And now, when she faced someone who really wanted to kill her, she had no power to fight back at all.

In other words, the character of Jiang Yizhou can either be like the original owner, always cowardly and submissive, and then curl up in a corner waiting to die, or put his only hope of turning things around on his son - if this son is a person who is grateful for his mother's kindness and has a talent for reading, maybe he can really help the original owner to turn things around.

Or fight back.

Jiang Yizhou thought about it carefully. This outcome was destined to happen from the moment she decided to fight back - either you die or I die.

In a nutshell, once the relationship has been broken, only force can resolve it!

Jiang Yizhou's mind was full of thoughts, but it did not affect her judgment and actions at the moment.

After stuffing all usable clothes into the gaps, smoke still seeped into the house.

Her eyes swept across the room and landed on the teapot on the table.

I quickly went over, picked it up and weighed it, there was water!

A hint of joy flashed across her face - luckily she didn't like drinking cold water very much, so there was still half a pot left.

Otherwise, she might just have to pee...

What a blessing!

Jiang Yizhou tore off a piece of bed sheet, wet it, and covered his head with it.

Well, in the final analysis, it’s because her power is too weak.

If she had several hundred kilograms of strength, would she still be afraid of a few men? She could just hit them one by one!

It’s unnecessary to think about those things now. I just hope she didn’t misjudge Xiaoyu and those two girls.

In the original owner's memory, after he was driven to the side yard, these two girls had secretly delivered things to him.

It can be seen that although these two girls have always followed Xu Ma's work, they are good people at heart and can be won over.

…………Ning Jianren looked at the growing flames in front of him with a grim expression, licking the doors and windows.

In less than half an hour, everything here will be over.

At this moment, a servant who was guarding the door outside rushed in and reported in a panic: "Master, something bad has happened. Someone is coming."

Ning Jianren was very upset. "Didn't I just ask you to guard the door? No one is allowed to come in!"

"Master, it's the local wise man Mr. Liu and others..."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone banging on the door outside, followed by the sound of countless people rushing into the house frantically.

Ning Jianren's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, his hands were clenched, and his body was shaking.

Qi Hao gently reminded: "Master——"

Ning Jianren calmed himself down, then shouted to everyone, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and put out the fire..."

A few servants came to their senses and started pretending to find tools to fetch water.

In just a moment, the people outside had already rushed into the middle courtyard.

Not only Mr. Liu and his party came, but also the neighbors nearby, who all came with basins and buckets and started to put out the fire.

And those servants who were pretending to look for tools looked like a joke in front of these people.

…………Although Jiang Yizhou tried his best to block the thick smoke, he still choked on a lot of it and felt dizzy.

She grinned when she heard some noise outside.

Finally, God did not let her down for traveling through time and gave her a glimmer of hope.

A sinister smile appeared on her face. As long as she didn't die this time, the world would definitely change because of her!

Ning Jianren?

Not only did she want to take back everything he had deceived from the original owner, but she also wanted him to pay a hundred or a thousand times the price!

There is strength in numbers, and the fire was quickly put out.

Only the main house in the central courtyard was burned. Apart from the fact that the house was almost completely burned, no one was injured or killed.

People sighed and said that Miss Jiang was really lucky as she was not burned to death in such a big fire.

A voice in the crowd said: Fortunately, the son-in-law of the Jiang family rushed back in time, otherwise, I think Miss Jiang’s nine lives would not be enough to burn.

Jiang Yizhou: ...Haha, you reacted so quickly. Have you started the public opinion offensive?
