Shen Zhaozhao unscrewed the cap of the gasoline bottle and was about to pour some of the liquid inside onto the bonfire.
“Someone is coming!”
Shen Zhaozhao recognized that it was the shouting of Guo who was guarding the outer circle, and hurriedly looked up.
There are too many people and I can’t see clearly.
"Go and take a look." Cao Ya lowered her eyes and glanced at the gasoline barrel in Shen Zhaozhao's hand. She didn't ask any more questions, but just gave her a reassuring look.
After Cao Ya finished speaking, he bent his body and walked out of the crowd.
Shen Zhaozhao poured some of the gasoline in his hand onto the dwindling campfire.
In an instant, the flames leapt high.
"Ouch!" The sturdy man holding the rainproof sheet was startled and jumped suddenly.
The elder of the Cao family squinted his eyes, rubbed them, and when he saw that the bonfire had indeed become more intense, he let out a long sigh.
"God bless you."
"Uncle, this is not God's blessing," Mrs. Cao hugged Cao Yue, and it was impossible to tell where the rain and water were on her face. "Without the third daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, we would all die."
The elder of the Cao family glanced at Shen Zhaozhao and had to admit that he was getting old and was not so accurate in judging people.
Seeing Shen Zhaozhao reignite the fire, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could catch his breath, something went wrong in the outer circle, and there was a cacophony of shouting and talking.
"Mother, is that the volunteer coming over here?"
“How tragic!”
"Help save them quickly, the third son of the Zhan family is very accurate in archery..."
Shen Zhaozhao couldn't see the situation outside clearly, and was a little anxious. He was thinking of giving the gasoline to someone else to take care of the fire and going out to take a look. He was looking down to see if there was anyone he could trust, and when he turned around, he saw Cao Ya coming back.
"How about it?"
Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly pulled her and asked.
"They are some volunteers who were injured but not dead yet," Cao Ya said, "They have agreed to come to us at their best."
She said, pursing her lips.
It was hard to see clearly from a distance, but what was clearly visible was extremely tragic.
Those who are seriously injured will come here even if they have to lie on the ground.
Some who were not seriously injured had not even taken two steps before a wolf pounced on them from behind, biting their necks and pinning them to the ground and devouring them.
Shen Zhaozhao frowned, feeling that these people came here at the risk of their lives, not necessarily for survival.
Cao Ya shares her opinion.
"Some people wanted to go over to rescue people, but they stopped them," Cao Ya continued. "These wolves have gone crazy. They are afraid that the bloody smell of these injured volunteers will stimulate the wolves to pounce on us."
"Well done." Shen Zhaozhao bit her lip and nodded.
She had given these volunteers a chance to live, but they were suspicious and refused.
Shen Zhaozhao was still a little worried when she heard Cao Ya say this, after all, the scene in the dream was too scary.
"Go watch outside, you help take care of the fire," With Cao Ya, Shen Zhaozhao could safely hand over the gasoline to her.
"When the fire gets weaker, pour a little more water, but never too much." Shen Zhaozhao said, "Every time you pour it, you must be careful. This stuff is the same as lamp oil, it helps with combustion, but it is much more powerful than lamp oil. If you are slow, the fire will burn up along with the oil."
“Very dangerous.”
Cao Ya solemnly took the gasoline barrel and nodded in response.
After entrusting the bonfire to Cao Ya, Shen Zhaozhao squeezed to the outer circle and came to the donkey cart.
There were also a few people next to the donkey cart.
Zhan Nanxing stood on the donkey cart with the support of Jiang Hu, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, looking at the volunteers.
"Third Master, you have a bow and arrow in your hand, help us shoot the wolf to death!"
"I also know that your Zhan family and you have had some conflicts before, but as long as you raise your hand to save people, why not save them?"
"Yes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
Shen Zhaozhao walked over and noticed that those who persuaded Zhan Nanxing to save people were all bodyguards who escorted the volunteers all the way here.
"The Third Young Master's wife is here too, just in time," Wang Tou was trying earnestly to persuade Zhan Nanxing to use a bow and arrow to save people, but to no avail. He turned around and saw Shen Zhaozhao coming too.
He hurriedly pulled Shen Zhaozhao.
"Madam San Shao, please try to persuade your husband."
"I'm sorry for you before, but I was also wrong. You saved us, why didn't you save some volunteers?"
"Some of them were seriously injured, but they still managed to crawl over here to ask for help, and your husband just watched with such cold eyes."
Wang Tou was extremely anxious.
"Zhao Zhao." Zhan Nanxing lowered his eyes, looked at Shen Zhaozhao, and opened his mouth to explain.
Would she also think she was cold-blooded?
Even though he had a bow and arrow in his hand, he did not save the injured volunteers who were trying desperately to come over.
"You heard the explanation..."
I can let others say that I didn't help, but I don't want her to think so.
Shen Zhaozhao motioned for 놛 not to say more, "Cao Ya told you guys, don't save people."
Zhan Nanxing nodded.
Shen Zhaozhao said: "Listen to her, don't save her."
Zhan Nanxing's heart was relieved at once, and the corners of his lips, which had been tense all the time, loosened a little, and he said softly, "Hmm".
She didn't misunderstand, that's all.
Zhan Nanxing no longer paid attention to the escorts around him who were urging him to save people, but continued to stare at the front.
"No, the girl just told others not to rush out to save people." After all, Wang Tou had been with the volunteers for many days, and he was not used to seeing people coming for help and remaining indifferent.
"Third Master, you have a bow and arrow in your hand."
"Just help us shoot the wolf to death, and we will be rescued!"
Shen Zhaozhao pulled Wang Tou, who was trying to persuade others earnestly, with such force that he almost fell down.
"My Lord, my husband needs to pay attention to the movements of the wolves over there and has no time to explain to you."
Shen Zhaozhao glanced at Zhan Nanxing.
"You are seriously injured and are just trying to stand. Every time an arrow is shot, the wound on your body is in danger of bursting."
Wang Tou was speechless after hearing this. “I don’t know…I don’t know…”
Shen Zhaozhao motioned for him to continue listening, "Also, we watched them die without helping because those volunteers were injured. If we let them come, the smell of blood might stimulate the wolves to ignore the campfire and pounce on us."
"Wangtou, that's not nice to say."
"My husband has done his utmost by not shooting each of us with an arrow and leaving us to our fate."
