The old man looked at Wu Captou's leaving figure and sneered at his pretentiousness.
The men next to him noticed something was wrong, pointed at the growing fire below, and shouted: "Master, it's not good! The fire is burning!"
The old man didn't take it seriously and said without even looking at it: "How can this damn weather get worse? Come back!" As he walked away, he complained in a low voice: "It's already midnight, what a waste of time!"
It turned out that the torch that Wu Captou threw away accidentally fell on the withered vine above Qi Yang and the others. The withered vine was quickly ignited, and the fire spread all of a sudden, burning right in front of Qi Yang and Ling'er.
Neither of them expected such a turn of events to occur. Especially Linger. She turned pale with fear.
The natural barrier that could previously shield the two of them turned into a blazing wall of fire, and the heat wave hit the door directly in front of the two of them. Even on this cold winter night, no one could withstand the heat at such close range.
But they couldn't evacuate because the enemy was still above. As long as the movement is slightly louder, it will disturb the people above.
Qi Yang could only hold Ling'er's shoulders and pull her back, trying to avoid the flames that came to his eyes. But with the stone wall behind them, where can they retreat to?
Ling'er felt that her head was dizzy from being burned by the fire, so she had to hold on to Brother Yang's clothes tightly to prevent herself from accidentally falling into trouble.
Qi Yang knew that Ling'er's tolerance for high temperatures was far inferior to his own, and he was very anxious. However, Capt. Wu, who was above him, seemed unwilling to leave like this. He was still explaining his reasoning to his men, and had not yet mounted his horse.
The fire was burning more and more fiercely, and the heat wave was getting bigger and bigger. In desperation, Qi Yang ignored the etiquette and pulled Ling'er towards him, while he quickly turned around and used his back to isolate the flames. , protecting Linger in his arms.
The dizzying heat wave subsided a lot. Ling'er gradually regained consciousness and found himself being pressed on his chest by Brother Yang. He was using his body to shield himself from the heat of the fire!
Ling'er was so anxious that she stretched out her hand to push Brother Yang, but she didn't know when Brother Yang had regained so much strength. No matter how hard she pushed, he remained motionless and held her tightly in his arms.
Qi Yang knew that Ling'er would not stay in his arms obediently, so he could only use some small tricks. He deliberately lowered his voice and said in a weak tone: "Don't push! It hurts."
Sure enough, Ling'er didn't dare to move anymore after hearing this. How could she forget that Brother Yang was still injured! At this time, she could only move her eyes with difficulty to confirm Brother Yang's current situation.
Qi Yang's forehead had a lot of sweat at this time, and he didn't know whether it was because of heat or pain.
Sensing Ling'er's worried gaze, Qi Yang comforted her softly: "Don't worry, wait until they go further away."
Ling'er heard hope from it and looked at Brother Yang expectantly, waiting for him to quickly end this painful suffering.
Unexpectedly, there was no movement from Qi Yang. He squinted his eyes slightly, and then simply closed them. Sweat accumulated on his forehead and flowed down his temples.
Linger was very anxious when he saw this. There was no movement above. Her brother Yang wouldn't want to wait until everyone was gone before hiding from the fire, would he?
She knew that Brother Yang had always been cautious, but at this time she was very dissatisfied with Brother Yang's excessive caution. She pulled Brother Yang's clothes hard and urged him.
Only then did Qi Yang open his eyes again. Finally, under Ling'er's expectant gaze, he grabbed Ling'er's waist and moved away, retreating to the open space.
