The village chief of Tieniu Village is well aware of the true faces of those people in the Luocheng government.
He also thought that what Su Chengnan said was right!
The fire on Yinmeng Mountain was so intense that within an hour, the entire Tieniu Village, including the Ningyuan Palace's annex, would be engulfed in flames. They were fortunate to have escaped tonight, otherwise not even ashes would have been left.
So no matter how unwilling others were, he insisted on leaving.
Village Chief Yu stopped and turned around, shouting, "Everyone, support each other and walk faster."
Liu Laosan frowned and said, "Village Chief, no matter how fast we go, we can only go this fast."
Others echoed, "Yes, Village Chief! Lao Gao's family, as well as Liuzi, are all injured. They can only walk slowly with their limping legs."
Song Xiaoliu, who was walking last, used a wooden stick to support himself and hopped forward two steps on one leg. He waved his hand and shouted, "Just keep moving forward. Don't worry about us! We won't hold you back."
Village Chief Yu raised his walking stick and pounded the ground a few times. "Tieniu Village has been burned, but we are still alive! Let's hurry up to the official road and escape first!"
"Hey! Okay." Everyone answered in unison.
"No one left behind! Follow us!"
When Su Chengnan heard him shouting at the top of his lungs, he felt that this old man had a strong sense of responsibility.
Jia Yi and the others protected her in the middle, "Miss, can you still walk? If you are tired, go and rest immediately. We can carry the injured."
"I'm fine. I can still walk a little further." Su Chengnan took off his outer robe and put it on his arm, then shook his head slightly. "You two go to the back and see if there are any stragglers?"
"Okay, I'll go."
She stopped and fanned herself with her hands, looking back at Jiayi's back.
They saw thick smoke billowing from the direction of Yinmeng Mountain not far away, and flames dancing on the mountain, shooting straight into the sky. It was so terrifying. They had to escape quickly while the wind was blowing in the opposite direction.
There were no helicopters or modern advanced firefighting equipment in this era.
Such a large fire cannot be stopped by human intervention.
"what--"
Suddenly several screams were heard.
Everyone was shocked.
When I looked over to hear the sound, I saw Jia Yi and his men holding one person in each hand, rising into the air from behind, and then using lightness skills to fly to the front of the team.
As soon as he loosened his grip, the young man named Liuzi jumped steadily to the ground.
"Wow, thanks, strong man!"
"thank you all."
"Okay, be careful."
"it is good."
Su Chengnan took a few more glances and found these young carpenters quite interesting. They were energetic and proactive in helping their fellow villagers. Their craftsmanship was also quite good. They had completed the two wheelchairs in just a few hours, which was beyond her expectations.
Moreover, the wheelchair lasted for such a long time on this bumpy road without falling apart, which shows that it is indeed quite useful.
When Jia saw that she was watching seriously, he lowered his voice and said, "I just tried it, but I don't have any skills."
Su Chengnan was somewhat surprised by Jia Yi's tacit understanding. She paused, then looked up at the man beside her. He had a calm expression, his face, like a passerby without any memory features, still blank.
She retracted her gaze and said, "Well, let's take another look."
"Yes."
After a while, Su Chengnan suddenly asked, "Who delivered the drawings today?"
"Xiao Wu. He accompanied Mr. Sun to the carpenter's house. After returning, he went to Luocheng with people from Ningyuan Palace. Originally, the shop was supposed to open the day after tomorrow, oh no, tomorrow."
"Oh! Shop!"
Su Chengnan slapped his head suddenly, "Hiss, how could I have forgotten about this."
Jia Yi consoled him: "Everything has been arranged. The Ningyuan Palace is keeping an eye on the city, so you can rest assured, young lady. But we still have some people in the courtyard, what do you think?"
Su Chengnan took a deep breath and thought carefully. "They are safe in the other courtyard. Bingsan will rush to reunite with my second sister after catching up with mother's carriage. I believe my second sister will make arrangements."
"Well, I also believe in the Second Miss."
Su Chengnan pursed his lips and remained silent, then quickly distracted himself and slipped into the space to look for someone.
Really! What do you believe? Believe!
She was burning with heat here, while the girl was eating a popsicle in the carriage and had forgotten all about it.
Su Weimin looked at her anxiously and said awkwardly, "Nan girl, why don't you take one out to eat too?"
"How can I have the chance to eat it!" she said helplessly.
"Then... I'll talk to her later!" Su Weimin scratched his head.
"Alright, Dad, when she comes in, tell her to alert Ah Shun immediately. Have them send someone back to Luocheng to pick up the Su family's servants. With such a big incident, I'm afraid Luocheng will be under martial law. It's not safe for a long time."
"Okay, she'll come in every once in a while and I'll tell her later. Don't worry."
"Yeah, let's go."
Su Chengnan sighed deeply, feeling that life in ancient times was more difficult than it was today. In the past, he only had to worry about two or three artists, but now he had to worry about so many people just to survive safely.
……
Walk from early morning to noon.
They finally got onto the official road, away from the area where the fire could spread, and were finally able to rest.
so tired.
After walking for five or six hours straight, Su Chengnan felt like his legs weren't legs anymore, they were like two pillars filled with lead. They could only move straight up and down, not bend.
"Miss, please sit here and rest for a while."
"Okay. You guys take a break too."
"A-Shun and I will go check around. You guys protect the young lady."
"Yes, boss."
These secret guards had been with Team A for years, and like him, they were expressionless and seldom talked. As expected, the leader resembled his subordinates, and Team C3's group was much more lively.
Mi Feng helped Sun Liangyuan get off the horse. He took off his veil and looked very haggard.
Su Chengnan stood up and patted the big rock beside him, "Mr. Sun, come and sit down."
"Okay." He straightened his back, but bent it down again after just two seconds.
"Oh, my old waist and legs are no longer able to bear it. My whole body feels like it's about to fall apart."
Mi Feng put the face towel on the medicine box, smiled and let go of his hand, "I'll give you two injections later, then have a good sleep, I guarantee you'll be full of energy when you wake up."
"Ha, that's just a blank check." Sun Liangyuan waved his hands and sat down. "Look at this official road. Where is there a post station to stay in? It's all desolate mountains and wilderness. Where can I, an old man, sleep?"
Mi Feng curled his lips and said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Su Chengnan looked around and said, "Let's get something to eat first."
"Hey, I'm really hungry." Sun Liangyuan perked up when he heard this, but then he turned around and became deflated. "Forget it, this area is so deserted... I'm afraid we have to walk a little further and get to the post station to get something to eat."
"There's a stream over there, let's catch some fish."
"Get some fish to replenish your energy, otherwise you won't be able to walk the rest of the way."
At this time, Village Chief Yu came over with his men.
"This water comes from the mountain. There's a big fire on the mountain. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch any fish now."
