"You go ahead and I'll go beside you, quickly disperse the crowd."
He looked up at the meteorite about to fall and pinpointed its approximate location.
"Do not walk towards the street, and be careful!"
Xiao Xiyou looked very nervous, and there was even a fleeting sense of fear in his eyes.
Zhou Zhizhi felt that this person was definitely not the kind of person who would be afraid of these things.
Something else must have happened.
But right now, I don't care about those old, trivial matters.
She flew forward quickly; it was the Lantern Festival, and there were just too many people.
With great effort, he grabbed a crying child next to him, held him in his arms, and ran forward, shouting loudly.
"Don't go out into the street!"
"Come back quickly!"
Zhou Zhizhi shouted towards the front, but the voices of those people were even louder than hers.
Those who were nearby quickly turned back after hearing this, but those who went any further forward could no longer hear what she was saying.
Zhou Zhizhi was quite helpless. Just as she was about to rush forward, a man pushed her, and she almost fell into the river next to her.
Fortunately, there was a tree nearby. Zhou Zhizhi struggled to push the child to the shore with one hand, and then slowly climbed up the tree trunk with the other.
Bang!!!
It was nighttime in the city, but for a moment when the meteorite hit the ground, the sky turned completely white.
The houses next to it were also blown to pieces, and the fire had begun to spread to the surrounding area.
Those who didn't listen to her are now either dead or injured, their screams echoing everywhere.
Zhou Zhizhi instantly felt tinnitus, and her brain seemed to explode.
Just moments ago, the area was ablaze with the vibrant colors of the Lantern Festival, bustling with activity.
But now it has turned into such a tragic state, it is truly heartbreaking.
The shock and heartache in her eyes were unmistakable; she stood there dumbfounded, somewhat at a loss.
The fire from the meteorite ignited the entire row of houses, and the crackling flames showed the fire continuing to burn ever forward.
It was like a fire dragon, constantly devouring the houses and people.
The cries and screams around her kept reaching her ears.
"How about it?"
Are you injured?
Xiao Xiyou's concerned voice came over, and Zhou Zhizhi turned around to see Xiao Xiyou running quickly toward her.
For some reason, Zhou Zhizhi burst into tears in that instant.
Xiao Xiyou stood there somewhat bewildered, sighed deeply, raised his hand to pat Zhou Zhizhi on the back, and pulled her into his arms.
The voice was gentle, offering patient comfort: "You've already saved so many people. You can't possibly save everyone, so now I need your help."
Although Zhou Zhizhi was in great pain, she patiently nodded: "What do I need to do?"
This is the first time she's experienced something like this, and her mind is still reeling.
Xiao Xiyou's voice has a very reassuring quality and is also very gentle.
"Ru Feng will be here soon. He will bring some people with him. You will get half of them and organize all the injured and uninjured people to go to other places."
"I will summon the doctors in the city to treat their injuries."
"Other matters are our business and have nothing to do with you. Make sure you are safe before you do anything, understand?"
Xiao Xiyou had never been so patient with her before; this was the first time he had ever been this patient with her.
Zhou Zhizhi nodded, hastily wiped her tears from her face, and then took the little girl's hand: "Little girl, where is your mother? Shall I take you to find her?"
The little girl's face was now covered in black ash from the drifting grass and wood dust, and her eyes were dark and round, but she looked aggrieved after hearing these words.
"Sister, I have no father or mother..."
"Can I go with my sister?"
Zhou Zhizhi was slightly shocked by those words, but she quickly recovered.
"Of course! I'm actually looking for a younger sister!"
In normal times, Zhou Zhizhi might constantly act crazy and court death in order to avoid the plot of the original book.
They even say things that are completely irrelevant.
But if something really happens, she is definitely someone you can rely on.
"grown ups!"
As Ru Feng spoke, he strode over with a group of people.
After thinking it over carefully, Zhou Zhizhi handed the little girl over to Rufeng: "Since you're going there anyway, please take good care of this little girl for me and make sure she doesn't get lost."
"Xiao Xiyou, I know some medical skills, I can help you save people!"
She spoke with a resolute expression, as if she were unafraid of death, which inspired admiration.
Xiao Xiyou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"If you think you can do it, then come with me."
He wouldn't refuse this either; everyone has things they want to do.
All he can do is protect the people or things he considers important, while everything else is irrelevant to him.
The fire ahead is getting bigger and bigger, and many people are now running to the bridge on the right to cross the bridge.
That's exactly where they're going.
After calming himself down, Xiao Xiyou quickly said to Ru Feng, "There's no time to lose, go and take the people away!"
The two of them immediately rushed towards the side where the fire was most intense.
And the people Ru Feng brought were all with them.
Even though people outside were already banging gongs and shouting that the fire had started.
But still no one threw water, because everyone had just experienced a disaster.
They had absolutely nothing to put out the fire.
Zhou Zhizhi glanced at the river beside her and quickly grabbed Xiao Xiyou's arm.
"Let's find a few people. The water here is close to the fire site, so it'll be more convenient!"
Xiao Xiyou immediately understood what she wanted to say, and turned to the person next to him and said, "Xie Liu, send a few people over to water the plants first, and then send someone to find the people in the other residences."
"There are simply too few people here. Even if we called everyone in the manor, it would be of no use."
For a moment, Zhou Zhizhi felt a deep sense of despair, and her face turned pale.
The fire continued to burn, and there was even a strange odor mixed in with it, making people afraid to think about it.
"The Emperor in the palace must already know about the fire here. We won't be able to hold out for long before they arrive."
