Chapter 12
The days passed like this, playing chess, admiring flowers, feeding fish, and researching new recipes. In recent days, Wen Yuanzhi even prepared to set up a school, so he found three adjacent schools in a village in Mei County. In the thatched cottage, if you open the back window, you can see the distant mountains.There was even thick fog passing through the thatched cottages in the early morning. Gou Yue accompanied him several times and praised them repeatedly. She didn't even know when Wen Yuanzhi purchased these thatched cottages.

According to him, he wants to divide Mei County children of different ages into three levels, young, middle and senior, and teach them according to their age.

Gou Yue felt that he really wanted to be a teacher.

This happened in the second year after Gou Yue followed him, which happened to be the second year, because in the morning Gou Yue was still lamenting that time is like a sword, and she had followed him in such a daze for two years, even though she was In his eyes, they were just friends who had known each other for several months.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, Gou Yue was dozing under the shade of a tree, and Wen Yuanzhi was practicing calligraphy in his room.

The inn has now expanded into a central hall. Because the recipes given by Wen Yuanzhi are so easy to use, the chef Erquan invited is getting better and better at cooking, and new guests come to taste the dishes every day.

Business was very good that night. Although Shen Sang didn't come, he sent his disciples.

Gou Yue had never heard of this person, but since this person started patrolling with his men in Mei County, it turns out that there are no real bandits left in Mei County, let alone any bandits who have done trouble to the people.

After repeated inquiries, Wen Yuanzhi told her the origin of this person.

It turned out that before he became a disciple of Shen Sang, he was a bandit among bandits. Later, Shen Sang captured him and used some method to tell him to go east, just like putting a tight spell on him.

Gou Yue saw him once. He said his name was Ji Pu and that he was here to greet Lord Wen on behalf of General Shen.

They met each other hastily. Ji Pu looked up into her eyes and was suddenly startled.

Gou Yue opened her mouth and saw him blocking the guests at the door, so she said, "Go slowly without seeing him off."

He came to his senses, shook his head, and left with a smile.

Although Gou Yue didn't know Ji Pu's reputation on this road, but seeing that Gao Naiyuan was really jealous of him, and since there was no more banditry, his temper could not flare up.

That night, Gou Yue opened the window to admire the moon and heard Wen Yuanzhi ask her if she wanted to stay in Mei County forever.

Gou Yue didn't turn around and said softly, "Are you trying to keep me here?"

It's ridiculous that he didn't even know that she was approaching him on purpose, yet he had to open up to her.

"If I say yes-"

"Mr. Xiaowen?!!!"

The cook outside the door came up with a pot.

Seeing him kicking the door open, Gou Yue stepped forward to block Wen Yuanzhi, "What are you doing?"

Master Lei, who was cooking, was panicked. "I heard that there was a fire in the shopkeeper's home and I have rushed back now. I also heard that..."

He hesitated, "I also heard..."

"Stop hesitating, tell me what you have to say!" Gou Yue was extremely confused.

"I heard someone in the inn whisper after the shopkeeper came home, Mr. Gao sent someone to put the fire on."

After hearing this, Gou Yue rushed out of the door, followed closely by Wen Yuanzhi.

Both of them got on the horse, and Gou Yue sternly asked him to go back, "How can you help if you follow? I can't carry it on my shoulders. I have to worry about you fainting even when carrying water."

"No, don't think what I said is useless."

"That's it, drive!"

The two rushed to Erquan's home. Before they could reach the door, they saw a corner of the house burned red by flames in the night.

Gou Yue quickened his pace.

drive!
drive!
……

At this time, the fire filled the sky and became fierce.

There was no sound in the house, not even a cry for help, but the horrifying sound of fire and wood crackling could be heard.

Wen Yuanzhi's mind became clearer and clearer, and he asked Gou Yue to hold Erquan who wanted to break in.

This mansion is already a death mansion.All people are dead.

Dead people will not be hurt by fire, so they do not shout.

After hearing this, Gou Yue hurriedly said, "I'll put out the fire with you, but don't break in first, lest..."

"What's the point? My whole family is inside, what else should I be afraid of!"

Gou Yue said loudly, "Yes."

Ignoring Wen Yuanzhi's obstruction, he poured a bucket of water on himself and then on Erquan, who was already wet, "Get ready, let's rush in!"

Erquan burst into tears, "With the girl's help, Erquan will be able to save his loved ones."

Wen Yuanzhi secretly clenched his fists and shouted to the two of them to come back.

Gou Yue and Er Quan braved the fire and collapsed beams, and finally made it from the front yard to the place where their relatives were. Er Quan's whole body was burned by the flames, and he couldn't care less about the pain at this time.

Unexpectedly, the door was closed tightly and could not be opened even if Er Quan pushed it.

Neighbors nearby were also putting out the fire, but the fire was only a little bigger.

Some people said, why didn't the government come to put out the fire? Fortunately, the second family lived on a separate homestead and were not connected to other families. The neighbors were happy but also felt sorry for this family.

Right and wrong, everyone also has a balance in their hearts.

Gou Yue told him to get out of the way.

He took three steps back, rushed forward, and knocked open the door.

Erquan rushed in.

He was stunned on the spot, Gou Yue was so burned that she couldn't open her eyes. When she came back to her senses, she realized that all the female relatives had fallen to the ground and died. Behind that door, there were some lying on the edge of the well with swords in their backs, and some kneeling on the edge of the well with swords in their backs. On the ground, there was a dead man with his head leaning on a stone chair, and there was also a man with a big belly, lying on his back next to three or four flower pots... The scene was horrific and horrifying.

Erquan was walking through the fire like a living dead. He held the pregnant woman tightly in his arms, roaring in pain.

Fifteen people, including the concierge girl, died completely.

The fire got bigger and bigger, Gou Yue forcefully pulled him away, "If you stay here, you can only wait to die."

Erquan shook his head, "You go, I won't leave."

Gou Yue's heart was torn, "Can't you understand what I say? If this continues, we will all die!"

In the tongue of fire, a cold arrow curled up in the hot air and came from behind Gou Yue. She was so focused on persuading Er Quan that she was no longer vigilant.

Er Quan hugged her, spun her around, protected her under his body, and dodged the arrow.

Then there was another arrow, hitting Er Quan in the back.

Gou Yue's nose became sore, "Erquan..."

Erquan smiled and said, "Miss Ruru, don't cry. Maybe I should call you Miss Ruoshui. Otherwise, I don't know what to call you."

"Gou Yue, my name is Gou Yue." After saying that, she picked up a piece of broken wood on the ground, turned it into a sharp sword and threw it out. The man hiding in the fire, waiting for an opportunity to act, screamed in pain and ran away.

Before Erquan died, he said, "I know who that person is, and Mr. Xiaowen also knows it. It's just that Erquan is incompetent and has no official position, so he can't avenge his family... I know you have ancient ways and a warm heart, so you still invite the girl... Help my family redress their grievances... Only then can I rest in peace... please... please promise me, girl..."

She came out of the fire, her face and hands were covered with dried blood, her arms were burned by the flames, revealing bright red flesh, but her face had no expression at all.

Wen Yuanzhi stood at the foot of the steps, and she stood on the steps. Behind him was the belated official office, whose clothes were as dark as darkness in the dark night, and behind her was the blazing fire.

She still remembers the first time they came to Erquan's house. It was snowing heavily that day. He stood on the steps and looked down, and she stood on the bottom of the steps and looked up at him.

It snowed heavily that day, there was a fire that day, one was cold and the other was hot, so the eyes of these two people were different.

The government officials used hooks to pull down the rest of the house, and then poured buckets of water into it. It seemed that they had known for a long time that there was no one alive in the house, so they just overturned it to make it easier to put out the fire.
