Chapter 277 The Ring Is Missing

Needless to say, Jinxi, Qingxing and Haitang also knew that something was wrong, and a puff of thick smoke was pouring in from the entrance of the cave.

The three of them were choking and coughing again and again, with snot and tears streaming wildly together.

"Get down!" Jin Xi hurriedly got down, and at the same time turned her head to say hello and squatted behind her, holding the jewelry box and waiting for her orders. Qing Xing and Hai Tang said, "I don't want anything, we can talk after climbing out!"

"None...cough...don't you?" Haitang was so choked that she couldn't even speak, she still held the two boxes tightly in her hands, and didn't let go.There are shop deeds and bank notes inside. If it is burned, most of the girl's wealth will be gone.Even if she dies, she can't let go.

"Life is important!" Jin Xi shouted angrily and anxiously, "Throw them all down and crawl out with me!"

The smoke in the cave was getting thicker and thicker, and I couldn't escape if I stayed for a while even if I wanted to run.Jin Xi gritted her teeth, and began to crawl out using both hands and feet.Even if the gang of thieves are still guarding outside the cave, they have to go out.

Using both hands and feet, she crawled very fast, touched the wet moss along the way, quickly grabbed a handful and covered her nose, then turned to ask Qing Xing and Hai Tang to do the same.

Jin Xi said twice, but did not hear back.In the thick smoke, they couldn't see where they were, so they could only yell loudly: "Qing Xing! Hai Tang?" There was no movement after the cry, and Jin Xi was startled with fright, wouldn't the two of them be fainted inside?

"Qing Xing! Haitang!" He called out again, but there was still no response. Jin Xi gritted his teeth and tried to crawl back to find someone. Throwing the two of them inside would definitely kill them!

After taking a few steps back, Qing Xing's faint cry sounded behind her, "Girl... we're fine, you... get out..."

"Hurry up and follow!" Jin Xi's heart tightened a bit, why did the two of them crawl for so long and still stay in the cave?
Hai Tang and Qing Xing are also desperately crawling out from behind, but they grew up in the inner house, and they have been serving the master since they were four or five years old, let alone climbing, they will be punished if they go the wrong way.

This will lie on the ground, and it really won't crawl.Just relying on the instinct to survive, move out bit by bit.Hearing Jin Xi's anxious tone, the two of them bit their lips tightly, regardless of whether they would bump into a rock, stood up, and ran forward with their backs bent.

The girl will not leave them alone, if she moves slowly, it will hurt the girl!

Although Jin Xi couldn't see their movements, she could hear their footsteps. She felt anxious and couldn't help shouting: "Get down, you can't stand up and run!"

Before the words fell, someone shouted outside, "Princess Leyi! Princess Leyi! Princess, are you inside?"

Jin Xi froze, feeling that the blood on her body was frozen.Qing Xing and Hai Tang quickly lay down on the ground, not even daring to breathe.

Who knows who is outside?
"Princess, I am the Qiu family. If you are inside, please sign!"

After a while, another woman's voice came in, anxious and panicked.After that, there was a messy sound of splashing water, and the sound of something hitting a stone.

The smoke in the cave became lighter, and it seemed that people outside were putting out the fire!
Haitang happily whispered: "Girl, you heard the voice of Mrs. Qiu!"

Qing Xing sobbed in surprise and joy: "Girl, you should get out quickly! Leave the servants alone!"

Haitang also said anxiously: "Young lady go out first, and then let people come in to save the servants and maidservants, it's the same."

Jin Xi took a closer look, and it was indeed Qiu Shi who was talking outside, but he didn't leave first like Qing Xing and the others said.Anyway, the smoke is light now, so it’s okay to wait a little longer.If Qiu really brought someone to rescue her, it doesn't matter if she goes out later.If not...

But it's not that Jin Xi is careless, it's just that she looks like a frightened bird now, no one can believe it!
After all, the group of masked people came suddenly and left unexpectedly. If there is no traitor from the Zhao family leading the way, she wouldn't believe it if she was killed!

"Xi'er! Are you inside? How are you?" After waiting for a while, the outside suddenly became quiet, and Zhao Tingxuan's voice came in.

So anxious, so concerned, so unabashedly caring, Jin Xi's eyes shrank involuntarily.

Jin Xi took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'm fine! I'm coming out now!"

Even if Qiu could be coerced to coax her out, Zhao Tingxuan would not!
If in this world, apart from Qin Xiao, she had to pick out one trustworthy man, it would be Zhao Tingxuan!Can't tell why, just her intuition.After going through the divorce, she knew that Zhao Tingxuan was much more mature and assertive than before!

Even if Zhao Tingxuan came forward, Jin Xi didn't relax his vigilance, and turned back to tell Qing Xing and Hai Tang, "You stay here and don't move, I'll tell you to come out, come out later!"

Hearing Jinxi's response, Zhao Tingxuan's heart slammed down, he turned around and drove out the servants who were fighting the fire in the yard. The house was burnt down, and it was useless to rescue them, but they couldn't let them see Jinxi's distressed appearance.

"Go to the kitchen and boil some hot water, and then go to the fourth girl's room to get some clean and unused clothes!" After Yuan Tengfei ordered the maids who followed him, for some reason, Zhao Tingxuan suddenly felt joyful, He secretly thanked God for giving him a chance to take care of Jinxi.

Qiu Shi took a deep look at him and sighed secretly.Who has never been young and frivolous, who has never had a spring heart, although the sky is still a little hazy, but the joy and anticipation in Zhao Tingxuan's eyes are so strong that people cannot ignore it.

She shook her head and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I'll leave the princess here to Brother Xuan, I'll go and have a look elsewhere!"

"Second Aunt, don't worry, I'm here!" Zhao Tingxuan hurriedly saluted. He lost his father since he was a child, and his mother was ill in bed for a long time. The Qiu family almost single-handedly raised him.

He has a deeper affection for Qiu Shi than he has for his own mother, and after the accident, Qiu Shi immediately brought people to Ningxiangyuan to save Jinxi, this affection also moved him extremely.

Jin Xi stumbled out of the cave, the cool night wind still smelled of burning, but it was many times better than the suffocating smoke in the cave, she took two deep breaths, and then she felt the whole body Came back from the brink of death.

With the torches flickering around, she saw Zhao Tingxuan standing there straight with his back facing the cave, heard her footsteps, and didn't look back, but said in a low but urgent voice, "Are you okay?"

Jin Xi stretched out his hands to brush his hair, then tugged at his messy clothes, before saying, "I'm fine!"

The voice was as flat as possible, but the bottom of my heart was full of sighs.No matter how much Zhao Tingxuan changes, he is still a modest gentleman in his bones, always thinking of helping others.

Looking around, he didn't see the thief, so Jinxi turned around and rushed into the cave, "Come out, you're fine!"

Hearing the sound, Hai Tang and Qing Xing came out of the hole one by one, and Zhao Tingxuan also turned around slowly, looking at Jin Xi with concern.

At this time, in the bright and dark firelight, Jin Xi was leaning against the rockery, with a few strands of messy hair on her temples being gently blown by the morning breeze, and she raised her hand to calmly gather it behind her ear.

His hands and face were covered with mud, but his face was unusually calm.Not only does it not have the panic of the rest of the life after a catastrophe, but it is like the first magnolia flower standing proudly in the spring breeze, with a calm and elegant style.

Zhao Tingxuan's heart stopped, thinking that when he was just awakened, he was reminded by the old servant who served him, and only then did he know that he raised his sword and rushed to the upper room to protect his grandfather.Compared with what Jin Xi did when he was suddenly startled, he suddenly looked filthy.

He always thought that he was too stupid to sacrifice himself and her blindly for the benefit of the family!
If he was given a chance to start over, he would definitely be able to take her back from Qin Xiao!

This time, it was like a slap in the face, which woke him up severely.Do it again...he will still lose!

Not to Qin Xiao, but to himself!
He is not worthy to stand side by side with such an outstanding woman...

Seeing Zhao Tingxuan staring at her in a daze, Jin Xi couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Did your family suffer heavy losses and casualties? What's the situation now?"

"The thieves who came in at random were all subdued by the servants, and there was no loss. Only a few servants injured their legs and feet, and a few servants who watched the night were slightly injured, but you..."

Zhao Tingxuan's tone was stagnant, and his expression was suddenly extremely embarrassed, "Only the thieves who came to attack your place, none of them were caught, they all ran away! And... your things were also burned!"

Dear host, Kehuan, on the first day the guest came in, he encountered a thief, and all the luggage he brought was destroyed.Zhao Tingxuan felt that as the master, he was ashamed to face others!

Jin Xi didn't think about this question. Although she knew that these people were coming for her, she still felt a thump in her heart when she was confirmed. Did you leave on your own initiative?"

Zhao Tingxuan was even more embarrassed, "After the servants subdued those thieves, when they arrived at your place, those thieves had already run away! Before leaving, they set fire to the yard..."

Jin Xi looked down at the scorched clothes and bedding scattered around the entrance of the cave, and frowned.

It turned out that those thieves knew where she was hiding, but the cave was dark and narrow, so they didn't dare to go in rashly. They set fire to the cave entrance to suffocate her to death!

Don't let me know who you are!

Jin Xi's teeth were itching with hatred, and she subconsciously turned the ring on her left ring finger.Stretching out her hand to feel the space, she was startled, and hastily stretched out her left hand in front of her eyes, and sure enough... the ring finger was empty, and the engagement ring that she specially asked Tang Tiancai to hit was gone!

"Where's my ring?" She screamed, her face pale as paper in an instant.She didn't feel distressed just because of the ring, but suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Zhao Tingxuan was taken aback, what kind of ring, so necessary, can make Jin Xi, who is calm in the face of life and death, so nervous?
"Girl, don't worry, you said the wedding ring is put away by the servant!" Qing Xing, who was holding the jewelry box, hurriedly said, and opened the mahogany box in her arms, and suddenly screamed, "Slave... put that ring with it!" The pieces of silver are put together!"

"Go find it!" Jin Xi's head buzzed, and the bad premonition in his heart became more and more serious.

Put her in front of the palace gate and see if that bastard Qin Xiao can't open the palace gate!

Lost her ring...

Qin Xiao is in the palace...

The thief changed his mind temporarily, he didn't want to capture her alive, but burned her to death...

Thoughts come one after another, each of them is fleeting, and I can't catch any of them too quickly.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and these seemingly unrelated thoughts immediately strung together into a thread.

Frightened by the scene she thought of, Jin Xi's eyes darkened and she almost fainted!
