Chapter 48: Buried in the Sea of Fire
I stared with my eyes wide open, frozen in place with a look of shock.
The red flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the dark night. The thick smoke was like a dark cloud, shrouding the sky above our village and blocking the moon.
After seeing this scene, I was completely dumbfounded, because the house on fire was actually Hu Zi's house!
"Oh no, Hu Zi's grandmother..."
I shuddered in my heart, and then I didn't care about the pain anymore. I gritted my teeth and rushed out of the yard, and then rushed to Hu Zi's house desperately.
The fire was so big and made such a big noise that almost all the villagers were awakened. I saw many people rushing out, men carrying buckets of water, women holding basins of water, all shouting that there was a fire and they should put out the fire.
When I rushed to Huzi's house, the fire had already started completely. I looked at the blazing fire and lost my mind for a moment.
What on earth is going on? Huzi and I first almost died in the mouth of the yellow-skinned man, and then we almost died by the three brothers of the Liu family. Now we finally ran away from the Liu family, why is there a fire in Huzi's house again? How
did this fire start?
Could it be...
revenge by the three brothers of the Liu family?
The next moment, I was suddenly startled because I didn't see Hu Zi in the crowd.
"Oh, where's Hu Zi!" I grabbed a middle-aged man's hand and asked, "Uncle Li, has Hu Zi's grandmother been rescued? And where's Hu Zi? Have you seen Hu Zi?"
"Hu Zi..." Uncle Li opened his mouth, sighed and said, "This kid is too stubborn. With such a big fire, he insisted on rushing in to save people. This time, not only did Mrs. Zhao fail to be rescued, but even Hu Zi might have died. Hu Zi has a miserable life!"
"What!"
I was stunned as if I was struck by lightning.
Hu Zi actually rushed in?
With such a big fire...can Hu Zi still get out?
The scorching flames burned my face red, and my expression gradually became fierce. After a while, I gritted my teeth and cursed: "Fuck!"
After cursing, I snatched the bucket from Uncle Li's hand and poured the remaining half bucket of water on myself.
When the cold well water poured on me, I shuddered immediately, and a chill immediately came out of my body.
But I didn't care about so much anymore. I threw away the bucket and rushed into the house.
"Hey Qianyu, what are you doing? Are you crazy!" Uncle Li wanted to stop me, but I was too fast and rushed to the front of the house in a few steps.
Before I even entered the house, the scorching air had already hit my face. My wet clothes were dried in an instant, and my face was so hot that it felt like a layer of skin was being peeled off.
I looked at the dazzling flames and made up my mind, and rushed into the house.
It was called a house, but in fact, it was no longer recognizable at this moment. The whole house was engulfed by the fire, and only the structure was intact, so the house had not collapsed.
After I rushed in, covering my mouth and nose, I found that there was fire all around, and I seemed to smell a faint smell of gasoline.
In such an extreme environment, people are very likely to change direction because of panic. I thought I could rush in to rescue Hu Zi and Hu Zi's grandmother, but I was still too naive.
No matter how good your martial arts skills are, no matter how deep your Taoism is, it is useless in front of this blazing fire!
The pungent smoke drilled into my mouth and nose, and the hot air waves wrapped me up. I covered my mouth and nose, held my breath, and forced my eyes wide open, trying to find Hu Zi and Hu Zi's grandmother.
But there was nothing around, only the bloody fire. The fire kept twisting and jumping in front of my eyes, like a demon, mocking the weakness of a mortal with flesh and blood.
"Hu... Hu Zi, where the hell are you!"
I coughed and endured the severe pain all over my body as I passed through a sea of fire. 7K妏敩
I squinted my eyes and looked around. Judging from some furniture that had not been burned, this seemed to be the living room.
I am very familiar with Huzi's house. Now that I have found the living room, it will not be difficult to find the rest of the rooms.
The pungent smoke made my tears and nose flow, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more severe. My head began to feel dizzy. I knew that I was poisoned by carbon monoxide.
In many fires, the real cause of death of people who were burned to death was not because of the burning of the fire, but because they were choked to death by the thick smoke, that is, they died of carbon monoxide suffocation.
Once a person inhales too much thick smoke, he will be poisoned by carbon monoxide. After poisoning, he will feel dizzy, and in severe cases, he may go into a coma.
I gritted my teeth and stumbled forward. I almost fell down several times, but I knew I couldn't fall down. If I fell down, I wouldn't be able to stand up, and it wouldn't be long before I would be burned to charcoal.
I staggered and finally rushed into the bedroom. After entering the bedroom, I immediately saw Hu Zi and Hu Zi's grandmother.
I saw that Hu Zi was protecting his grandmother under him. Both of them were lying on the ground motionless, and I didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
"Hu Zi!"
I rushed over and pushed Hu Zi over.
"Hu Zi, Hu Zi... wake up!"
I wanted to wake Hu Zi up, but Hu Zi's eyes were closed, his face was blue, and he didn't react at all.
I looked at Hu Zi's grandmother again and found that her situation was similar.
I gritted my teeth, first carried Hu Zi on my back, then picked up Hu Zi's grandmother, and then stumbled out.
Compared to when I just came in, the fire was bigger, and the house had begun to collapse. From time to time, burning wood fell from the roof, and I was almost hit several times.
The dizziness became more and more severe, and I had to carry Hu Zi on my back and hold Hu Zi's grandmother, so I didn't walk fast, and every step was extremely difficult.
The burning sensation on my skin became more and more intense. In the end, my hair was curled up by the burning, and I even felt that the sweat hair on my body was scorched.
Then, my clothes actually caught fire.
"Ah!..."
I let out a scream, and then I couldn't hold on any longer. I knelt on the ground holding Hu Zi's grandmother.
Tears mixed with snot flowed down, I knelt on the ground with trembling body, struggled for several times, but could not stand up.
"I, am I going to die?"
The raging fire surrounded the three of us, and the despair began to grow rapidly in my heart like spring bamboo shoots after rain, until it finally occupied my whole heart...
"Master, where are you, I'm dying, Master, save me..."
I cried out hoarsely, and then I felt a black screen in front of my eyes, and fell to the ground.
