Chapter 300 Border Town 2
Faced with the smoke-filled ruins, the patrolling soldiers didn't care at all. They jumped off their horses and rushed into the inn where flames were rising to the sky.
The long sword in his hand reflected the firelight, the cold light was biting, and each living life was moving.
Wang Jinyi struggled to be supported by Feng Mei and Lu Chuan, and witnessed the soldiers of Border Town rushing into the sea of fire regardless of everything. In a flash, everyone was vaguely seen as a burnt man. Some of them rescued their comrades, and some knocked down and dragged out the thieves they found.
Wang Jinyi asked: "Where is Sister Feng? Sister Feng went in and hasn't come out yet?"
At this time, the inn had been completely engulfed by the fire. The wooden beams had held out for too long and could no longer withstand the raging fire, so they collapsed with a loud bang.
What was a tall building a few minutes ago has now turned into a pile of black soil. The thick smoke and burning smell that have not yet dissipated remind people of what has just happened. The residents present are still in shock.
Wang Jinyi was anxiously looking for Sister Feng's whereabouts, and the Wang family was also searching everywhere for Wang Jinyi.
Around the inn, everyone was calling out each other's names, responding one after another. Those who had found the person cried and hugged their heads, while those who had not found the person were in a panic.
The moment the cousin saw Wang Jinyi covered in blood, his eyes widened with fear. He held the torch in one hand and reached out with the other hand to touch Wang Jinyi's head. He seemed to be relieved to confirm that although the child was covered in blood, he was still alive.
He even forgot to communicate with Wang Jinyi and ask where the child was injured. He left the two Mr. Wu from the Wang family to protect Wang Jinyi, and hurriedly ran to find the clan elders.
The war horses neighed, raising clouds of dust, and the patrol soldiers quickly left with the injured officers and suspects.
Wang Jinyi witnessed two border town battles with his own eyes. In the war, life and death depended on a matter of a moment. He had just walked up the stairs with his sword in high spirits, but two quarters of an hour later he was dragged by his comrades and put on a horse, and his life or death was unknown.
In the raging fire, the scene of patrolling soldiers jumping off their horses and rushing into the sea of fire with swords brandished replayed in Wang Jinyi's mind again and again...
Hey! By the way, where is Sister Feng? Sister Feng also rushed into the sea of fire. Where is she now?
Feng Mei and Lu Chuan found a quilt from somewhere and laid Wang Jinyi flat. The four of them carried the young lady to find the Wang family's convoy.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. In such a short period of time, all the members of the Wang family had to escape from the sea of fire. They all had burns to varying degrees, and the scene was horrific.
The lightest one was also burned. His clothes had traces of burns and his face was covered with black marks. However, it seemed that Wang Jinyi was not burned.
The Wang family's carriages suffered greater losses, as the horses were tied to the stables and could neither run away nor break free.
The horses were all bruised from struggling and bumping into each other in the stable, and the most pitiful ones were even burned alive and couldn't escape. The horses were neighing and pacing anxiously, and not a single carriage was left, all turned to ashes. There was nothing left of the items stored in the backyard, only sadness.
The uncles and elders sat on the ground and discussed things. Feng Mei saw that no one was paying attention to the young lady for a while, so she laid Wang Jinyi flat on her back. She knelt beside the young lady and asked:
"Miss, what should we do?"
"Sister Feng, first find all the people who came with me, and let Lu Chuan stay with me. You immediately go find Sister Wu Baishu and Sister Feng, as well as the two maids, to make sure everyone is okay before we discuss the next step."
"Miss, you need to see your wound. Your hand is badly injured. You..."
She didn't dare to imagine what would happen to such a fairy-like lady if her hand was disabled.
Wang Jinyi felt pain all over his body, but there was no place where he was numb, which meant that most of the injuries were recoverable. On the contrary, it was more important for the people who followed him to see them alive.
This time, Feng Mei didn't listen to the young lady and went straight to the elders who were gathered together for a meeting.
"Miss, Wang Jinyi is seriously injured. Can the elders please invite a doctor?"
"After escaping from the fire, we sent three teams to ask for a doctor, but he hasn't come back yet. The one who knows about medicinal herbs beside Jin'er was also sent out, and he hasn't come back yet."
"Okay! Thank you! Thank you for still thinking about the young lady."
The elders listened to the angry words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"Jin'er is my Wang family's child, how could I forget about her? I just have to find a new inn to stay in first, and I have to count if there are any missing persons, and...
Hi! You go down first and protect your lady. We will let you know when we have studied it well. "
Fengmei relayed the elder's words to the young lady. Wang Jinyi struggled to support herself on the ground. Lu Chuan hurriedly sat behind the young lady and let Wang Jinyi lean on him.
Wang Jinyi said very seriously:
"Come sit over here, I have something to tell you."
Feng Mei and the two Mr. Wu from the Wang family sat on the quilt that Wang Jinyi used as a stretcher.
"You two saw Wu Bi beside me along the way, go to the fire scene to find her whereabouts..."
Before Wang Jinyi finished speaking, Mr. Wu, who had followed, interrupted:
"Miss, that maidservant Wu has greeted me, and she said that this group of people seemed to be spies who sneaked into the city.
She will follow and be back tomorrow morning before departure at the latest. She told me not to tell anyone except when the young lady asks."
Wang Jinyi felt much more relieved after hearing this. In this case, there was no need to worry about Sister Feng's safety. Bai Zhu had sent someone to ask for a doctor, and Sister Wu had probably also been sent out by the clan. The two maids were helping to take care of the wounded, and there were no casualties. This was a blessing in disguise.
“Sister Feng, take this jade token to Taisheng Rice Shop and ask them to find a way to solve the Wang family’s housing problem.
It would be even better if there is financial support, go quickly and come back quickly. "
Feng Mei knew that the young lady had Tai Sheng Rice Shops in all the cities of the Da Qi Dynasty, and now she was asked to go for help. She took the jade token without hesitation and disappeared into the night.
After everything was arranged, Wang Jinyi felt a little calmer, and the aches all over her body and the burning sensation in her hands slowly came over her.
"Miss, the floor is too cold and damp, you should sit next to me for a while!"
Lu Chuan kindly reminded Wang Jinyi in her ear. She didn't see what injuries the young lady had suffered. She just saw that blood was flowing from her hands and thought that the injuries were on her hands.
Wang Jinyi had not had time to feel the injuries on his body since he was whipped down from the second floor. Now that the emergency was over, he realized that his entire back was aching.
Sitting like this feels more painful, but the autumn nights are cold, and if you have broken bones from a fall, lying on the cold and damp ground will only make the injury worse.
Wang Jinyi gritted her teeth and said to Lu Chuan:
"Help me stand for a while. If I can't stand, I'll lean on you."
The two Mr. Wu advised:
"Miss, you fell from upstairs and it's not suitable for you to stand. You'd better lie down and wait for the doctor to check it out."
"Yes, miss, don't move!"
After hearing what the two Mr. Wu said, Lu Chuan realized that the girl, who was younger than him, was seriously injured and could only lie down.
Lu Chuan quickly helped Wang Jinyi lie down with difficulty, then took off his coat and covered the young lady with it.
