Chapter 234 Rescue
In the wilderness, Gu Qingyou listened intently to the movement outside the door, fearing that the scorching weather would cause the people outside to have any dangerous thoughts, she dared not let go of the stick in her hand for a moment.

For the first time, I felt that the summer night was extraordinarily long. Being locked up here was helpless, and I was suffering double the torment in my heart. I was so angry that I kicked the door and desperately fought the wicked.

The chirping of birds, beasts and insects in the mountains was infinitely magnified in the silence. The people outside the door were whispering at first, but when they got tired of chatting, they leaned on the door frame and dozed off.

The sound of snoring came through the door panel, Gu Qingyou was anxious and at the same time felt at ease, what was anxious was that she couldn't get out, what was at ease was that since they were asleep, it meant that she would not come in for a short time to do anything, instead of being anxious, she would rather It's better to take a nap for a while, and then have the strength to wait for the opportunity to escape.

Leaning against the wall with eyes closed, the surrounding temperature is getting hotter and hotter, and the burnt smell is gradually wafting in the air.

Eyelids twitched, she opened her eyes suddenly, and found that there was a fire on the roof, and then the people outside also started running, shouting, "No! It's flooded! Come on!!"

The master told him that before he came, the women in the house must not make any mistakes.

The two strong men guarding the gate panicked and immediately got up to call their companions to put out the fire.

"Hey! You should open the door for me first!"

Listening to them running away, Gu Qingyou kept slamming on the door panel. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. If the fire continued, the beams of the house might be burnt, and she would be crushed to death if not choked to death.

However, the people outside had already run far away, and they couldn't hear her shouting at all, and the room was soon filled with thick smoke.

Lu Qingyou leaned down and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, trying not to let himself inhale the smoke.

But it was useless, the fire was too big, there was no water around her, her throat was scorched by the hot smoke, it was painful and hot, the cry for help became more and more hoarse, and in the end, there was no sound at all.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

Breathing became more and more difficult. She gathered her last strength and slammed into the door panel for the last struggle. As a result, there was a bang outside the door, followed by the sound of metal falling to the ground.

Under the light of the fire, she vaguely saw a figure rushing in, and then lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen.

When he woke up again, Gu Qingyou found himself lying in a simple dwelling.

The clothes had already been changed, which made her panic for no reason, but fortunately she didn't feel any other discomfort, so she felt relieved.

Looking around, I found that it was a very small and dark room, not much bigger than the stove room where I closed myself before.

Except for the kang under him, there is only a lame table and a bench in the room, but they are all wiped clean, obviously someone lives there.

Before she fell into a coma, she didn't see who the other party was, so Gu Qingyou didn't dare to be careless. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she lightly lifted the torn sheet on her body, preparing to sneak away.

The embroidered shoes are still there, but the edges have been scorched by sparks, and many places on the fine silk are scorched, but it is better to barely wear them than to walk barefoot on mountain roads.

Who would have thought that he didn't take a few steps, but the world was spinning for a while, and he fell back on the kang involuntarily, his stomach growled inappropriately.

This damn low blood sugar!
Gu Qingyou bit the tip of her tongue fiercely, the strong smell of blood forced herself to wake up, and walked out again, but heard a clear female voice: "Ah! Why are you up?!"

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Gu Qingyou tried to open his eyes wide, barely able to see the face of the woman in front of him clearly, and his eyes could not help but light up.

The woman's face is like uncut jade, her lips are blue and blue, not to mention the beauty of the country, but she is incompatible with the dress of the mountain village woman on her body.

After looking it over, Gu Qingyou felt vaguely familiar, but she was sure that she had never seen this person before.

And in the current situation, she couldn't tell whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so she held onto the edge of the kang tightly to prevent herself from falling down, while looking at the woman vigilantly, she said, "Who are you?"

As a result, when he opened his mouth, there was a sound like a broken bellows, accompanied by a tearing pain in his throat.

Gu Qingyou subconsciously stretched out her hand to caress her neck. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly put down the basin she was holding, poured her a glass of warm water and said, "Girl has inhaled too much smoke and dust, and her throat has been damaged. Don't talk for now, but Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."

Bad guys don't write bad words on their faces.

Gu Qingyou was full of doubts in his heart, but he couldn't speak at all. The woman knew what she wanted to ask, so she stepped forward and put the water glass into her hand, and said: "Whatever you want to ask, girl, it's not too late to drink first."

Gu Qingyou couldn't refuse anymore, so he hesitated and took a sip.

It was the hot summer, she didn't drink a drop of water all day, and her throat was so sore, this small sip was not enough to moisturize, so she simply drank it in big gulps.

When the cup bottomed out, the burning pain in her throat finally subsided a bit, she smiled gratefully at the woman, Gu Qingyou tried to say in a breathless voice: "It was the girl who saved me? I don't know the name of the girl, why did she appear here?"

The woman poured her another glass of water, suppressed the smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "I also fled here, but because I was bullied in the city, I have been hiding in the nearby mountains. I woke up last night and heard There was noise outside, and there was a fire on the mountainside, so I hurried to have a look, just in time to see the girl unconscious at the door of a kitchen, so I hurriedly brought you back."

There are too many loopholes in this statement, it is obviously an excuse.

Not to mention that Gu Qingyou didn't know why she was lying, maybe there was something difficult to tell, so she didn't expose it, but said: "Dare to ask, when the girl saved me, were there other people around?"

That group of people tried their best to catch her, they would not let her escape so easily, if they found here, they might not implicate this woman.

But the woman shook her head and said: "When I rushed over, I didn't see anyone else, maybe they were all busy going down the mountain to fetch water and put out the fire!"

Could it be that those people knew that they were locked and couldn't escape, so they went to fetch water without worry?

But it wasn't right, she clearly heard the sound of someone cutting open the chains outside, and also saw someone coming in to save herself.

This is too different from what the woman said, Gu Qingyou kept an eye out and didn't say any famous words, but said: "Thank you for saving my life, miss. If you dare to ask Gao's name, I will come to the door to thank you in person someday."

Her words were more or less tentative, if this woman is Meng Yan's person, she directs and plays this scene, just to let her relax her vigilance, and it would be bad to trap her later.

But unexpectedly, the woman did not stop her movement, but said: "There is no need to thank you, it is just a matter of convenience, but the girl has been burned in several places by the fire, it is best to cultivate for a few days before leaving."

"No, I've been away from home for two days. I should be in a hurry at home. I still have to go back and report my safety."

While talking, she seemed to be ignoring the cuffs, touched something, quietly clenched her palms, nodded to the woman, and walked out.
