Lin Rui'an ran to a spot not far from the fire, looked at the little girl in red, and rushed into the fire.
Many people present screamed in fright.
"That child is so young! How did he get inside? How did his parents take care of him?"
"Two people are going to die now, what are we going to do? It's heartbreaking to see."
"That child is only five or six years old at most, and his parents don't even keep an eye on him."
Lin Rui'an then ran to the lakeside not far away, grabbed a wooden bucket, scooped up a bucket of water, and carried it to the sacrificial altar.
Seeing this, everyone rushed to help.
Just as everyone was anxiously searching for the wooden barrel.
At this critical moment.
A girl in a vibrant red dress emerged from the sea of fire, her steps firm and resolute.
She held a young child tightly in her arms, the firelight illuminating her face, and her resolute eyes shone with an indomitable light that inspired awe.
"Look, she wasn't burned!"
"That's amazing! Whose child is this little girl? She rushed into the fire and saved someone."
"Amazing, amazing."
A round of applause erupted from the crowd.
Upon seeing this, Lin Rui'an quickly ran over.
"Little girl, are you alright?"
When the little girl saw someone asking her, she smiled and handed the child to Lin Rui'an.
"Big brother, I'm fine, please check on him."
Lin Rui'an then lifted the blankets to check the child's condition. Seeing that the child was not burned, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've loved fire since I was a child, so I'm not afraid of it."
Just then, an elderly woman ran over, sobbing, and looked at the child in Lin Rui'an's arms.
"My son, you scared your mother to death! Thank goodness you're alright."
Lin Rui'an turned his head and asked, "Auntie, is this your child?"
"Thank you for saving me, young master and young lady. This is my son. The fire was too big just now. I was holding the child and burning incense when the crowd pushed me off the stage."
"Waaaaah, I thought I'd never see him again."
After hearing this, Lin Rui'an put the child back in the old woman's hands.
"Auntie, please be careful in the future. The child is fine. It was this little girl who saved your son."
The old woman took the child and thanked the little girl profusely before leaving in tears.
"Little girl, whose child are you?"
“My father is the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. My name is Wei Yunshu. My father once said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Anyway, I like fire, so I went in to save it.”
Looking at the fearless young girl, Lin Rui'an smiled and shook his head, thankfully she was alright.
Her personal maid also rushed over.
"Miss, you scared me to death! I thought I would never see you again. What if something happened to you?"
"Ah Tao, you know I like fire. Anyway, I'm fine now, so don't worry."
Atao wiped away her tears, squatted down and picked Wei Yunshu up, "Miss, let me take you back."
"If anything else happens, Master will beat me to death."
Atao shook her head.
"No, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wanted to come out and stroll through the lantern street. If I go back, what's the point of me sneaking out?"
"Huh?" Lin Rui'an was stunned.
Did this girl sneak out?
Atao smiled through her tears, "Miss, when I came out, I secretly told Madam, and Madam agreed."
"In that case, I'm even less inclined to go back."
After listening, Lin Rui'an spoke:
"If Miss Wei doesn't mind, how about joining us for a stroll through the lantern displays?"
Wei Yunshu smiled and agreed.
"OK."
Looking at the flames on the sacrificial altar that had been extinguished by the people, and the soldiers who rushed over, Lin Rui'an took Wei Yunshu to find Lin Chang'an and the others.
Yao Qianshu, the first to notice, said eagerly:
"Brother Rui'an, why did you bring her here?"
“He had just rushed into the fire to save a child and didn’t want to go back, so I invited her to come with us to enjoy the lanterns.”
"Hmph! She blacklisted me, I don't want to be around him!"
Wei Yunshu never expected to meet Yao Qianshu.
She nudged her belly at Yao Qianshu and said, "I'm sorry, big brother invited me. If you don't want to see me, you should go home first."
"I'm not going back." Yao Qianshu snorted and walked forward.
Lin Wanwan looked Wei Yunshu up and down, her eyes filled with doubt.
[Aren't you afraid of fire?]
What a coincidence!
One of my sisters isn't afraid of fire either.
Lin Rui'an heard the thought and shook his head with a smile.
He knew his younger sister was very capable.
As for those who are not afraid of fire, he really didn't quite believe it.
Even though the little girl said she wasn't afraid of fire, her clothes were still burned a bit, and her skin was red.
One by one, everyone put on masks and began their parade through the streets.
Lin Wanwan was overjoyed, wearing the rabbit mask.
The little girl kept rubbing her hands against Lin Chang'an's chest.
The lantern festival is especially lively tonight. Even though the incident just happened, it doesn't stop people from parading through the streets.
"Wow, look at that lion dance over there, it's so beautiful!"
"Yeah yeah."
"And over there, the girls are practicing their etiquette."
"And there, someone is playing the piano, singing, and playing chess..."
Lin Chang'an and Yao Qianshu were overjoyed. After handing Lin Wanwan to Lin Rui'an, they ran into the crowd.
"Big brother, we'll be back in a bit."
Seeing them run away, Wei Yunshu stomped her feet on the spot, "How stingy, they didn't even take me with them."
