Chapter 20: Finding Bitterness and Joy, Day and Night (3)
The wind was blowing unusually hot, Shen Xiyao's heart tightened, there was a bright light jumping up and down in the west, it seemed that the gangsters wanted to burn them all to death in this remote inn.He also brought other people to be buried with him.

Two black figures suddenly flashed outside the window and stopped by the door.Shen Xiyao held her breath, gently took the pill in her hand, and quietly stood behind the door.

With a sound of "squeak", the door was slowly pushed open, and two black figures crept in, with a cold light flashing from their hands.Shen Xiyao watched them walk to the bed carefully, and slashed at them with a raised knife. If someone really slept soundly on that bed, they would be out of their wits.

Only the sound of "嗙" came, and there was a "dong" all over, something fell to the ground.

The first person turned around suspiciously, but saw that the person behind him was nowhere to be seen.The night was pitch black, there were still footsteps and cries outside, and there was a flickering red light on the window, and the fire had already started.

Suddenly there was a chill in the neck, something flashed in the night, leaving a greasy liquid.The last thing the man saw was a sword dripping with blood under the god-like face...

Shen Xiyao looked at the two people lying on the ground with disgust.There is nothing to fear from an enemy who has no wisdom but only recklessness.What's more, the fighting education he received since he was a child is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It was getting hotter and hotter outside, Shen Xiyao didn't look at the two of them again, turned around and left.

In the guest room, Xia'er was obviously terrified.The fire was already raging, and it was too late to change back into my clothes, so I had to wake up the young lady and leave quickly.

At the door, Xia'er met He Langzhong. "Sir, this..." Xia'er looked at him in panic, at a loss.

"Hurry up and wake up your lady, the fire over there should be a little lighter, maybe it's still too late." Langzhong He was also anxious.

In Ling Xuewei's room, a shadow stood by the bed, and the fire outside didn't seem to attract his attention.He carefully looked at the face of Ling Xuewei who had fallen asleep after taking the medicine, admiring and hesitating at the same time.

At this time, another figure walked in from the door, and asked in a tone like ice on the snow: "What are you doing?"

The shadow turned around, and it was the leader of the group.And the person who walked in was none other than Shen Xiyao.

"Why are you here?" The leader was a little surprised, but laughed again: "It seems that they didn't find you."

"No, I have already dealt with them." Shen Xiyao's eyes also fell on Ling Xuewei.She slept soundly, with a slight smile on her peaceful face, as if she had a good dream, she didn't know what happened around her, and she didn't know that her life was at stake.

"She is so beautiful, it would be a pity to kill her." The elder brother who was in charge said indifferently: "But I still have to kill her after receiving money from others to eliminate disasters for others."

"You can't kill her." Shen Xiyao also said indifferently: "Because I am here, no one can hurt her."

"Haha," the leader, Lang laughed, "Even if I don't kill her," he looked at the burning sky outside, "You guys won't be able to get out."

Shen Xiyao frowned, his words were true.The fire outside is extremely fierce, and now there is no need to delay.Either persuade the person in front of you to give up, or fight with him.Persuasion is obviously not easy, so we have to go another way.

The long sword was slowly pulled out from the scabbard, Shen Xiyao sighed and said to the person in front of him: "You want to kill her, I want to save her, then we will see who is stronger."

The leading man also put on a serious expression and pulled out his waist knife.

The two faced each other in this room like this, but no one made a move first, only the knife-like eyes flashed across the air, and the air in the room seemed to condense.

"Ah" screamed, it was Xia'er who had just rushed to the door.Of the two people in the room, she only knew the handsome young man, while the rough man standing by the young lady's bed was not a good person at first glance.

Startled, the two looked at Xia'er at the same time.Her gorgeous costumes and exquisite dress have a mysterious and strange seductiveness in the firelight.

It was too late and then quickly, another figure quickly flashed to Ling Xuewei, He Langzhong's face was flushed abnormally in the night, and Wen Wei's arm raised a stone inkstone, intending to slam it at the leader brother.

And Ling Xuewei on the bed also grunted, as if she was about to wake up.

At this moment, the leading man had already noticed something strange behind him, and raised his knife to chop Ling Xuewei on the bed.He Langzhong jumped in front of him and was hurt by the cold light.

"Young master, hurry..." He Langzhong shouted, with strength from nowhere, he hugged the leading man and forced him back. His thin arms were even more slender on the thick shoulders, A lot of blood flowed down the arm.Seeing this, Xia'er also ran away, dragging the leading man with all her strength, at the same time, she also picked up the inkstone in Langzhong Cai He's hand, intending to throw it at the leading man's head.

Ling Xuewei turned over, but did not wake up.

The extra medicine prescribed by Mr. He earlier added some sleeping ingredients, so that she was not awakened in such a chaotic situation.

Shen Xiyao took a deep breath, flicked the famous sword in his hand, shouted to He Lang: "Get out of the way", and stabbed at the leading man.The force was so fierce that it directly penetrated the chest of the leading man.

Blood trickled down slowly, and the leading man looked at the hole that suddenly appeared on his body, but he didn't seem to have reacted yet.And Langzhong He who was behind him didn't let go, just hugged the leading man like that, and fell on his back together.

"Why, didn't you tell me to get out of the way?" Shen Xiyao rushed forward, looked at He Langzhong, and asked in disbelief.

"My lord, he hurt my vitals, and I won't live for long." He Langzhong never let go: "I'm afraid that if I let go, he will be bad for the young lady..." He coughed: "Your foot hurts." , it is inevitable that the movement will be slow..." A stream of blood flowed down the corner of He Langzhong's mouth, and he smiled with difficulty: "Take them away quickly, and use a wet towel to protect your mouth and nose... ·" His eyes gradually lost their brilliance: "Quick... fast... too late... it's..." He tilted his head, but with a faint smile smile.

"Sir...Sir..." Xia'er had already rushed forward, crying, "Sir, you can't leave..."

Shen Xiyao silently looked at He Langzhong who had lost his breath, with mixed feelings in his heart.But this is not the time for mourning, and there are already some sounds of collapse from outside. The inn is made of wood and cannot withstand the devastation of the fire.

"Quickly, wake up your lady, let's get out of here quickly." Shen Xiyao pulled Xia'er up from the ground, pushed her to the bed, and threw Ling Xuewei's robe hanging by the window to Xia'er, tearing her up. He took off his robe feet, soaked them with the clean water in the room, covered his face, and prepared two more of the same ones, opened the door, the flames were burning outside, and the shuddering heat waves came in bursts, and there were figures struggling in the flames , everything is like Abi Hell...

Ling Xuewei woke up from the trance, and what she saw first was Xia'er's panicked eyes, her blood-stained robe, her head lowered, and two men lying on the ground, one of whom she recognized was He Langzhong who saved her life, the other was thick and She doesn't know the evil man.At this point, the two had lost their breath.There was also a masked man standing by the door.All this startled her who had just woken up from her sleep, but she immediately noticed the flames shooting up to the sky outside, and realized the dangerous situation now.

"Miss," Xia'er was crying to explain something, when Shen Xiyao by the door saw that Ling Xuewei had woken up, she strode forward, "Hurry up, it's too late, go out and explain." His voice had become hoarse due to the injury and heat, Ignoring Ling Xuewei's bewildered expression, he handed the other two soaked cloths to Xia'er and Ling Xuewei, "Come on, we're going to rush out."

The corridor of the inn was already extremely hot, and the fire opened its mouth like a ferocious and hungry beast, trying to devour everything.

Shen Xiyao dragged Ling Xuewei and Xia'er forward and had to avoid the charred pieces of wood and rubble that fell from time to time.Sparks scattered around them, Ling Xuewei staggered between Shen Xiyao and Xia'er, her long hair fluttered in the wind, making her face extremely pale.

Suddenly, his hand sank, and there was a sound of collapse behind him, as well as Xia'er's shout.Shen Xiyao clenched Ling Xuewei's hand tightly, but inertia still made him take half a step back.

The floor of the wooden corridor behind her had already collapsed, Xia'er stepped on the ground, and if she hadn't been pulled by Ling Xuewei, she would have fallen into the sea of ​​flames below.

"Miss," most of Xia'er's body was already hanging in the air, the fierce wind fueled the fire, and when viewed from above, there was a raging flame.In that frighteningly bright red light, the house was twisting, and from its wide open mouth, everything was surrounded by flames, and the sound of objects breaking could be heard from time to time.

"Xia'er, grab me." Ling Xuewei lay on the ground, holding Xia'er's slender arm tightly with one hand, while Shen Xiyao tightly held the other hand.

"Miss, let me go, let go..." Xia'er's face was full of fear, but the sound of "click, click, click" gradually came, which also indicated that the floor here would collapse soon.

"No, Xia'er, hold on tightly." Ling Xuewei said with all her strength, trying to pull Xia'er back.

"Miss, let go." Xia'er looked at the gaps in the floor: "Xia'er can no longer serve Miss in this life, but Xia'er will always remember Miss's kindness. She will protect Miss." Looking at another person who was struggling beside Ling Xuewei, he said, "My lord, please save the young lady." After speaking, she closed her eyes and let go of her hand.

Ling Xuewei didn't hold it steady, and watched Xia'er fall into the fire beast with its mouth wide open.Her gorgeous gown was like a gorgeous flower blooming, and disappeared in the bright fire in an instant.

"Ah..." Ling Xuewei let out a hoarse cry, and fell to the ground.

Shen Xiyao was also surprised and shocked, but time was running out, he picked up Ling Xuewei who was on the ground, and wanted to rush out.

The pain in his feet came again, Shen Xiyao staggered, Ling Xuewei in his arms seemed to feel something, and struggled.

"My lord, you're injured, I'll go by myself." Ling Xuewei lowered her eyes, tightly covering her mouth and nose with a cloth towel that was no longer damp.

Shen Xiyao nodded, but still didn't let go of the hand that had been holding her, and they ran towards the stairs together.

The pain in his feet was getting worse and worse, Shen Xiyao gritted his teeth and endured it, he had to go out, if he went out, everything would be fine.

Most of the stairs had been burned, and the entire inn had collapsed to one side.The stairs can no longer be walked, but how to escape the two-story building...

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the choking smoke rushed straight into the sky, and the sky was reddened by the raging fire for a long time.There was a hustle and bustle of people outside, mixed with cries, exclamations, and screams calling for rescue, like purgatory on earth.

Shen Xiyao looked at the thick smoke and dust around him, the wet handkerchief covering his face had already lost moisture.Ling Xuewei was already a little dizzy from the thick smoke, and he himself was coughing unceasingly, and he couldn't even speak.However, at this moment, he can still stay awake, knowing that he must find a way out immediately, otherwise, they will all be buried in this sea of ​​flames today.

The inn is a wooden structure, and there is no sound of collapse.Shen Xiyao pulled Ling Xuewei forcefully, and finally found a place with less smoke and dust, but the floor under her feet was already hot.In front is the stables in the backyard of the inn, and behind it is the floor that collapses at any time.Shen Xiyao was heartbroken, estimated the distance between the second floor and the ground, and shook his heart, shook Ling Xuewei, who was already staggering beside him, and was about to speak, when Ling Xuewei looked around, as if she had stabilized her mind, He said to him: "Young master." The two looked at each other with the same determination in their eyes, and said in unison with a hoarse voice: "Let's jump down."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.Shen Xiyao broke the guardrail with one kick, and he turned his head to look at Ling Xuewei: "I'll go down first, and then I'll pick you up." After saying that, he turned over, and the person had already landed on the ground.It's just that Shen Xiyao didn't get up immediately, instead he was in a half-kneeling posture, and after a while he slowly stood up straight, and nodded towards Ling Xuewei who was standing on the second floor, smiling to cover up his frowning.

"Jump," he yelled.

Ling Xuewei looked at the man below, and behind her was the unbearable heat.She closed her eyes and jumped down...

When the soft white fell, Shen Xiyao's feet felt a stabbing pain.But he still took a step forward and caught the slender body.

The two rolled over on the ground a few times, and both lay in the open space, gasping for breath.

"Thank you...my lord..." Ling Xuewei finished speaking, and slowly closed her eyes.

There was a dazzling white light in the sky, and with a "boom", heavy rain poured down without warning.
