As the smoke grew thicker, the instinct for survival prompted everyone to go to the cave entrance to find out what was going on.
The sudden sparks burned the three people nearby.
“Ah… help!”
"ah……"
Three figures screamed in panic at the same time, their instinctive reaction prompting them to move closer to the crowd.
But... three fire men, who dares to get close?
But there were also some brave ones who took off their clothes and slapped the three people, trying to put out the fire. The power of one person is always weak, but the power of a group is endless.
However, it only put out a small part of the fire. The other two people's slapping movements actually accelerated the burning of the fire.
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
With two sounds of watering, the fire on the two people was a little smaller.
Everyone looked up and saw Su Sijin and Lu Changgong carrying wooden buckets and going to fetch water again.
At this time, everyone realized that there was still water in the cave, so they fetched water, completely forgetting that Lu Changgong had been a bad person before.
The fire was put out in a cup of tea. Both men were covered in charred flesh. Large pieces of charred flesh fell off with a slight touch, and blood oozed out.
Su Sijin felt the pulse of the two and shook her head slightly. With such severe burns, it would have been difficult for them to survive even in their previous life, let alone in Daiyue where medical resources were scarce.
When the families of the burn victims heard the sad news, some fainted and some fell to the ground and cried loudly.
"Everyone, come and put out the fire, otherwise everyone will die here." Tang Peng's voice woke up everyone present.
They rushed to the cave entrance, carrying clothes, branches, and a drop of water, but the fire at the cave entrance was too big.
“Cough… cough…”
The entire cave was filled with thick smoke, and the only sound was coughing.
"Ahem... ahem... there are people outside, someone wants to burn us to death." Tang Peng said truthfully. The fire was too big, could they only sit there and wait to die?
Outside the cave, you can hear people laughing, mocking, and smug.
"Haha... I've eaten whole roasted lamb, whole roasted pig, and whole roasted cow, but I've never eaten a whole roasted human." At this time, someone outside the cave said something inhumane.
"Damn it, these beasts, beasts, cough cough..." an old voice scolded.
"They are worse than animals, they are demons, demons." Someone followed up with condemnation.
"Woo woo, we're going to... cough... burn to death, cough... I don't want to burn to death, I want to get out."
As the fire grew bigger and bigger, everyone became more and more desperate. The light at the cave entrance became unreachable and untouchable.
They instinctively rushed forward, but the fire was too big, and the group of beasts outside were still laying branches. The fire was like a fire dragon, opening its bloody mouth towards everyone.
The temperature in the cave continued to rise, the air was thin, and the yang energy was insufficient, so many people had difficulty breathing.
Su Sijin covered her mouth and nose, not caring whether she would be exposed or not. While no one was paying attention, she took the quilt and entered the space.
When she came out again, the wet quilt was already draped over her back. Just as she was about to rush out of the cave, she felt a lightness on her back.
The quilt was already on Lu Changgong's back.
Lu Changgong comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I'm here."
After saying this, Lu Changgong gathered his internal strength and rushed out of the cave.
"What went out? Ahem..." Someone seemed to see a black shadow rushing out of the cave.
"I must be blind. How is it possible for anyone to rush out of the sea of fire? Even if they rush out, they will be in great danger." The man muttered to himself in despair.
But... after a while, there seemed to be sounds of fighting outside, and the man listened in disbelief because he was closest to the cave entrance.
After listening for a while, he burst into tears of joy, "Ahem...someone really rushed out, we are saved, we are saved."
Sitting and waiting for death is not Su Sijin's style. She doesn't know how many people are outside, but she knows that the oxygen in the cave is almost gone.
She was still covering her mouth and nose with a wet cloth, having difficulty breathing, and those people were even more...
Su Sijin instructed Lu Changji and Lu Changming, "Cover your mouths and noses, lie on the ground, and don't move rashly. I'll go help your eldest brother."
"But..." Before Lu Changming could utter a word of resistance, Su Sijin had already left.
Su Sijin pushed through the crowd and rushed to the cave entrance as fast as she could. With the crackling sound of fire, she finally rushed out.
What he saw were corpses lying all over the place, and dozens of people besieging Lu Changgong.
But, it was obvious that Lu Changgong was beating dozens of them. He flew into the air, and when he landed in a spin, dozens of people who formed a circle around him had their necks cut and fell down at the same time.
Lu Changgong saw Su Sijin coming out, and he jumped lightly to her side. He frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you that I was here?"
Su Sijin: ...
Su Sijin refused to answer this question, so she made a quick decision and said, "You are responsible for holding them back, and I will put out the fire."
Extinguishing the fire is of utmost importance. You can ignore the thief, but the fire must be extinguished first.
Lu Changgong nodded and stood two meters away from her, killing anyone who came and killing any pair who came. He held a stone in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, and for a moment no one could get close to him.
Anyone who comes near will be killed without mercy.
This gave Su Sijin the space to focus on putting out the fire.
Su Sijin threw two quilts directly onto the fire. The wet and thick quilts immediately reduced the fire.
Su Sijin shouted at Tang Peng, "Tang Jieren, arrange for everyone to escape in an orderly manner. Don't rush to escape to the cave entrance. If you do that, the entrance will be blocked and no one will be able to escape."
After hearing Su Sijin's words, some people who were ready to make a move immediately stopped.
But some people refused to listen and rushed forward regardless of the consequences. The first to bear the brunt were the people from the second and fourth branches of the Lu family.
The people from the second and fourth rooms were only concerned with their own escape and completely ignored Old Madam Lu, which made the old lady furious.
Seeing this, Qin Qing became even more anxious. She glanced at Lu Mao who was standing beside her in a daze, then pulled Lu Changbao and rushed towards the cave entrance.
Lu Mao instinctively pulled Lu Changbao. Qin Qing couldn't leave for a while. She was already anxious, her throat was uncomfortable, and she had difficulty breathing. She immediately let go of Lu Changbao's hand and rushed to the cave entrance.
She is broad and fat. If anyone blocks her way, she will push them away. If she can't pull them away, she will bump into them. If anyone blocks her way, she will step on them and use them as stepping stones.
And these so-called others are all people from the second and fourth houses, and only those from the Lu family are fighting for it, fighting for it at the cost of their lives.
Just as Qin Qing was about to leave the cave, she was pulled down by someone, and before she could react, her body was bearing one weight after another.
She had no power to resist and could only passively endure it, unable to express her suffering.
"Crack!" The sound of broken bones.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
The sound of bones breaking one after another made the listeners shiver.
In the end, she vomited blood, her eyeballs bulged, and she fell at the entrance of the cave with a painful expression.
Such a tragic scene shocked everyone.
The people from the second and fourth branches of the Lu family who had escaped were lying on the ground, breathing in deep gulps of fresh air.
