Chapter 126 She Didn't Appreciate It
That night.
The five members of the Gu family were all dressed in black and poured enough wine inside and outside the Gu house.
Pour out all the wine that Gu Feixue had brewed before, and it will definitely burn immediately.
Especially the house where they lived, in order to make the combustion more complete, it was not visible that the "ashes" on the ground were actually made of quicklime, so that the villagers would not rush in to rescue them.
After pouring the alcohol, he poured all the oil in the kitchen onto the floor and walls. Even the prepared butter was not spared and placed around the threshold to ensure that it burned thoroughly and no one could break in.
After all this was done, Gu Lang, Wang Shi and Old Lady Gu from the Gu family entered the tunnel first, followed by Gu Tingchuan, and finally Gu Feixue who threw torches around.
Almost in an instant, the Gu family in Anju Village was engulfed in flames.
By the time the villagers woke up from their sleep and were anxiously carrying buckets across the Gu family ditch, the Gu family had already reached the mountain exit through the underground passage.
The Gu family was not worried that the fire would spread to the surrounding villagers because of the water in the ditches around the Gu family.
Of course, in order to prevent the hidden weapons in the ditch from harming the villagers who came to put out the fire, Gu Feixue had already removed all the hidden weapons of the Gu family in advance.
"Village chief! Are the Gu family members still inside?" The villagers looked anxiously at the burning Gu family's house. Someone asked the village chief, only to see that the village chief also looked anxious.
"Li Tiezhu, do you know that the Gu family is inside?"
Li Tiezhu hesitated a bit after hearing this, but finally nodded.
In the end, Li Tiezhu still failed to stop the villagers. The village chief and his men used straw mats and iron pots as shields to block hidden weapons, surrounded them and rushed into the ditch.
However, to everyone's surprise, the mechanism that the Gu family had previously used to capture the eight criminals was not triggered this time.
Before the crowd could think whether the Gu family's hidden weapons had failed due to the fire, they took water from the ditch to put out the fire.
However, the fire at the Gu family's house was so huge that it took a full hour for the fire on the periphery to only get a little smaller.
Someone took advantage of the fire at the Gu family's gate to look inside, then cried out with a look of sorrow:
"Heaven has no eyes!"
Soon after, the village chief and others also rushed over in the flames, and saw that the Gu family's house had already been burned to ruins. The house had collapsed and could not be collapsed any further, not to mention the surviving members of the Gu family!
"The Gu family is so kind, why did they end up like this..."
The old village chief aged several years in an instant. Looking at the villagers who were looking desperate, his face became dazed.
The Gu family has been taking good care of Anju Village since they were all refugees.
Miss Gu brought water and vitality to them. That year, every household lived a good life and the village became the well-known No. 1 village in Liangcheng.
If it weren't for the Gu family, they wouldn't know where they would be being looked down upon.
Now they are being engulfed by the fire without any warning. Is God really blind?
The village chief and a large group of villagers sat on the ground in despair. Some villagers who were on good terms with the Gu family had already begun to sob softly.
Li Tiezhu, Chunyue and others couldn't bear to watch, so they started crying too.
For the safety of Anju Village, the masters have handed over everything in Liangcheng to them. From now on, they will have to rely on themselves! They will not let their masters' expectations go unfulfilled!
Chunxiang and Chunyue cried even harder when they thought about not having a master to teach and remind them in the future, and not knowing when their master would come back.
Even Li Tiezhu, who knew the truth, couldn't help but shed a few tears when he saw such a scene.
Some villagers were unwilling to believe it. They took off their clothes, soaked them in water from the ditch, and put them back on. They rushed into the fire despite everyone's attempts to stop them.
Everyone only heard them muttering:
"There's always a glimmer of hope!"
"Maybe we can rescue one or two more..."
However, after their hair and eyebrows were burned off, everyone got a fact that they did not want to believe.
No one survived.
What the people of Anju Village didn't know was that when they were gathered in front of the Gu family's gate, sighing and crying, a person had sneaked into the deserted Anju Village watchtower and was observing the movements in the direction of the Gu family from a distance.
After the man confirmed with the help of the firelight that no one in the Gu family was alive, he jumped off the watchtower and hurried back to report.
However, he didn't know that everyone in the Gu family had already escaped from the exit of the mountain.
"Xue'er, are you okay?"
Gu Lang and Old Mrs. Wang came out of the tunnel first. They waited for a long time before they saw Gu Tingchuan and the others come out.
"Dad, Mom, Grandma, I'm fine. I have martial arts skills. Fire is not as fast as me."
Everyone was afraid that Gu Feixue might be affected by the fire when she set it, so they checked the place several times before they felt relieved.
Seeing that Gu Feixue and the other two were indeed fine, the group felt relieved. Then they heard Gu Lang ask:
"Where are we going now?"
The group was afraid that the fire would reveal their whereabouts, so they did not dare to light torches to find their way and could only grope in the dark.
Gu Feixue stood at the exit and sensed the direction, then pointed to the north and said:
"Everyone, hold hands and follow me to avoid falling into the traps set by the hunters."
There were hunters in some of the surrounding villages who made a living by hunting, and it was easy to enter in the dark, so the Gu family and their group moved extremely slowly.
When the group finally walked out of the mountains, it was already dawn.
"not good!"
Even though the light was not sufficient, Gu Feixue still noticed with her sharp eyes that there were two carriages parked in the distance.
"Someone got here before us. You wait here and don't move. If you encounter any danger, use the gunpowder I gave you to resist."
After saying that, Gu Feixue took out several bamboo tubes filled with gunpowder from the bag she was carrying.
She prepared these before she left, just in case.
I didn't expect to use it so soon.
However, after Gu Feixue walked forward a few steps, she discovered that Rong Xing was parked in the carriage next to her own!
"Why are you here?"
Gu Feixue, who had just had a false alarm, settled the Gu family in the carriage and then came out to ask Rong Qi and the others.
During this period, Rong Qi and the other man did not come to see her, so she thought that they had exchanged information and parted ways completely.
"You are going to Jiangzhou. You can't protect everyone with your own strength."
Rong Qi's calm judgment came from the carriage.
After a moment of silence, Gu Feixue gritted her teeth and said:
"So Doctor Rong is here to be an escort this time?"
"I guess so."
Gu Feixue sneered, said nothing more, turned around, got on the Gu family carriage, and started on her journey.
She didn't care why Rong Qi and the other two came, as long as she didn't stop them from leaving Liangcheng, this place of trouble.
Rong Xing saw Gu Feixue's bad attitude and couldn't help but get angry and sullen:
"Master, look at her! We're trying to protect them out of kindness, but she doesn't even appreciate it!"
After saying that, Rong Xing also climbed onto the carriage.
With a "Gee!", he drove his carriage behind the Gu family's carriage.
After a long while, Rong Xing heard Rong Qi sigh from inside the carriage:
"If she appreciated it, she wouldn't leave without saying goodbye."
