148. Stranger

The raging fire was like red waves, and the surging hot air came over me, and my hair curled slightly in the orange-red light and shadow.

Chen Ji watched the Golden Pig retreat and shouted in confusion, "Master Golden Pig, didn't you just say you wanted to abandon the Pegasus?"

The Golden Pig ran off into the distance: "I've offended so many people over the years. Tianma is my biggest supporter in the Imperial Household Department. If he dies, I won't have a good ending either."

Chen Ji shouted sincerely, "Master Jinzhu, thank you for coming to save me."

The Golden Pig turned its back to him and waved impatiently: "Get out of here."

Chen Ji stood at the edge of the sea of ​​fire, listening to the wailing of the soldiers behind him, and watching the golden pig running back to the battlefield.

He knew very well that the Golden Pig had come to rescue him day and night because he had bet on him, and that he was essentially driven by profit.

But if the golden pig had not arrived in time, he would not have survived until now.

Saving him is saving him, and he is grateful for this favor.

However, Chen Ji looked at the golden pig's back and was not sure whether the golden pig went back to save Tianma in order to avoid falling in realm or for friendship.

Perhaps, sometimes even the Golden Pig himself can't tell the difference.

The prince looked at Chen Ji and said, "Let's go. The fire is spreading very fast. It will burn ten miles in a blink of an eye. If we don't leave now, it will be too late to save them."

Chen Ji looked back at the hand that the prince bent over and stretched out, but said, "No, I can't leave yet."

"Um?"

The prince was a little surprised: "You want to help them?"

Chen Ji glanced around hastily and replied, "No."

He looked around but couldn't find the person he wanted to see.

Zaozao stood in the heat wave, stamping the horse's hooves anxiously, ready to run away at any time.

Chen Ji didn't want to waste Bai Li and the others' time, so he slapped Zao Zao on the butt and said, "You go first."

Zaozao, however, was not scared away by the flattery like an ordinary horse, but just calmed down and looked back at him in confusion.

Chen Ji hesitated for a moment: "Miss Zhang Er, your horse?"

Zhang Xia said unhappily, "Zao Zao won't be scared away so easily. What on earth do you want to stay for? We can help you."

The situation was urgent, and Chen Ji could no longer care about anything else. He shouted, "Wuyun, Wuyun, where are you?"

The prince was stunned for a moment, "Wu Yun is here too?"

Chen Ji looked into the wildfire and had a bad feeling in his heart.

If Wuyun had nothing to do, he would definitely follow him. Now that Wuyun didn't answer him, he must be troubled by something.

Wildfire!

At this moment, a meow sounded from the sea of ​​fire.

He looked in the direction of the sound, but saw the dark cloud pacing anxiously on the top of a dead branch.

As he paced back and forth, there was a sea of ​​fire under his feet, and the flames were spreading upwards along the bark.

Chen Ji rushed towards the dark clouds, but was knocked back by a wave of fire.

The billowing smoke made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

Gradually, the dark clouds were no longer anxious. They just squatted quietly on the branches and let the flames spread.

Wuyun looked at Chen Ji's anxious look and meowed softly.

A man and a cat were more than twenty steps apart, looking at each other from a distance.

The prince shouted anxiously: "Chen Ji, hurry up and leave."

Zhang Xia shouted in confusion, "It's already this late, why are you still caring about a cat? Human life is more important than a cat's life. Three people risked their lives to find you, and you're wasting time on a cat?"

"Sorry, you guys go first."

Chen Ji glanced at Zhang Xia. He stopped rushing into the sea of ​​fire and instead looked for something hurriedly.

The next moment, he ran towards a towering cypress tree with the whale knife in hand, holding the knife with both hands, and chopped the trunk with all his might.

With every cut, a large amount of wood chips were brought out.

The prince was puzzled: "What is Chen Ji doing?"

Zhang Xia said calmly, "He wants to cut down this tree to build a bridge for the cat."

When he was halfway through chopping, Chen Ji looked back at the location of the dark cloud. When he looked back again, he held the knife with both hands and chopped it accurately at a certain position: "Fall!"

The sound of wood fibers breaking was heard, and the towering cypress tree fell down under the heavy load.

Zhang Xia looked at the direction in which the cypress tree had fallen, calculated silently in his mind for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "Wrong direction, move a little further north."

Chen Ji looked back at her, took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and then sprinted forward with all his might, bumping his shoulder against the cypress tree that was about to fall.

The force of this collision could only cause the giant tree to shift slightly, but it was enough.

With a loud bang.

The cypress trees fell not far from the dark clouds, forming a long bridge.

The dark cloud leaped down and landed lightly on the cypress tree a few meters away.

It stepped on the cypress trunk through the sea of ​​fire, ran towards Chenji, and jumped straight into his arms.

Chen Ji looked down and saw that Wu Yun's black hair had been burnt and curled.

He put the dark cloud in his arms, turned around and ran: "Hurry up!"

The prince shouted, "You also get on the horse."

Chen Ji said without turning his head, "Four men are too heavy. Those soldiers have been driven away by the wildfire. Now we just need to race against time with the wildfire."

Zhang Xia shook the reins lightly and spurred his horse to catch up.

Zaozao was an extremely majestic horse. Even with three people on his back, he could keep pace with Chenji in the mountains and forests.

However, the sea of ​​fire spread all over the mountains and the strong wind blew up thick smoke. The four people were dressed softly in the gray smoke, but how could they

There is no way to escape the pursuit of fire.

It was as if they had been running on the edge of the sea of ​​fire and had never left.

Chen Ji stopped.

No more running around.

The fire must be carefully monitored.

Wildfires are divided into surface fires, crown fires, and underground fires.

Surface fires are divided into steady-advancing fires and rapid-advancing fires. When encountering a rapid-advancing surface fire, the only way to survive is to move away from the direction of the fire spread.

People can't outrun fire.

But how to get out?

Chen Ji only thought for a few seconds.

"Go northwest."

"Go northwest!"

Zhang Xia said almost in unison with him.

Zhang Xia glanced at Chen Ji, shook the reins with his wrist, and galloped towards the northwest without hesitation.

After running a few hundred steps, the four of them ran into thick smoke and the world suddenly became clear.

The prince was surprised and asked, "Why is the fire here so much smaller?"

Zhang Xia replied, "This is the leeward side of the mountain, so the impact of the mountain wind is less. Also, this is the shady side of the mountain, so the vegetation is sparse and there are fewer dead leaves accumulated over the years. Naturally, the fire will spread more slowly."

The sea of ​​fire was still surging up the mountain with the mountain wind, but the place where they were was much peaceful.

When everyone looked back, they saw that the ground behind them was full of scars, and the ashes from the sea of ​​fire looked like black scars on the mountain.

The fire was still burning up the mountain. Chen Ji wanted to find any trace of Mr. Feng's battle with Tianma, but he could not find any trace of it.

Even the soldiers who were chasing them didn't know where they retreated to.

Survived the disaster.

While thinking, Zaozao's front legs suddenly bent, almost causing the three people on his back to fall to the ground.

The three of them quickly jumped off their horses.

Zhang Xia explained, "Zao Zao carried the three of us all night and was a little exhausted."

She held Zaozao's head with a little heartache: "Zaozao, thank you so much."

After saying that, Zhang Xia took out an oil-paper bag from the backpack next to the saddle, and unfolded it to reveal more than ten pieces of snacks.

She held the snack in her palm, fed it to Zaozao's mouth, and said softly, "Eat it, eat it."

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Ji: "Does your cat eat food given by strangers?"

Chen Ji touched Wu Yun's head that was sticking out from his arms and said calmly, "No. Eat strangers."

Zhang Xia: ...
