Chapter 1016： Fire

The two had been on the pier until it was dark. Under Zhang Wenhuan's guidance, they found the only inn on the pier.

Because it is the only one, many people are mixed, most of them are merchants who have not had time to go back or are ready to go to sea.

"I don't know how the son will convince Old Sun?"

"I don't know." Xiao Nuan wiped his face and lay down on the bed. He has been on the way these days, and I have been walking for another day today. I am really tired.

Looking at Xiao Nuan's appearance, Zhang Wenhuan buzzed his lips to say something, but finally held back.

The injury on her body is not completely healed, she has been gritting her teeth these days, I wonder if you can still be so safe! !

Zhang Wenhuan thought Xiao Nuan didn't believe her own words, and felt that she could find veterans who were better than Sun.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Xiao Nuan felt uncomfortably bloated in his lower abdomen. He drank a lot of water before going to bed tonight, and he was afraid that he was going to the latrine.

Having to get up from the bed, Xiao Nuan rubbed his eyes to see the hourglass in the moonlight. Now it is almost half a day before dawn. The sky is the darkest before dawn. From the window, you can see everything. not see.

There are Gong buckets in every room. Xiao Nuan wanted to solve it directly, but he glanced at Zhang Wenhua who was sleeping on the small couch, and after thinking about it, he still carried the lantern to the hut downstairs to solve it.

There were only two more lights left in the inn, which made the whole lobby look gloomy. Xiao Nuan had no fear of ghosts. The mother emperor once told her that the most terrifying thing in the world is people. What are ghosts? .

After solving the problem in the hut in the backyard, Xiao Nuan yawned and prepared to go back to sleep.

When I left the door, the lantern in my hand suddenly touched the door of the cottage, and when it was tilted, the fire went out.

In an instant, the surroundings became darker, and she simply put down the lantern and walked back in the moonlight.

But just when she was about to move, a black figure quickly passed by in the moonlight. If Xiao Nuan hadn't seen it clearly that it was a person, she would really think she was a **** now.

She didn't act immediately, instead she pushed back to the door of the cottage quietly and looked outside through the gap.

The black figure just now was not accidental, and several black figures burst out of the courtyard in a blink of an eye.

Soon after, Xiao Nuan saw the fire rushing up from the corners of the inn.

These people are here to set fire!

Xiao Nuan thought of Zhang Wenhuan who was still asleep in the inn, and had to run back towards the inn.

This fire was just released, even if you use kerosene, it will not burn so fast.

When I moved in, Xiao Nuan knew clearly that there were a lot of people living in it! When she rushed in, there was no movement inside.

"Walking, everyone, get up, we are walking!"

Xiao Nuan shouted so, and gradually there was some movement in the inn.

Xiao Nuan ran to her room and called Zhang Wenhua, who was a little awake.

"Take something and go quickly, the inn is on fire."

"Oh, good." Zhang Wenhua woke up, and the two of them took the basin of water in the house and dampened their veils, covering their noses and mouths and ran out.

At this time, the noise inside the inn was getting louder and louder, and many people ran out to flee in a panic.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the thick smoke choked people almost unable to open their eyes.

"Quickly, go this way."

"Wuwu grandma... oh cough cough cough milk..."

When he was about to go downstairs, Xiao Nuan suddenly heard the cry of a child not far away. Because of the heavy smoke, he couldn't see which direction the child was in for a while, but the sound should not be far away from her.

She gritted her teeth and stuffed her baggage into Zhang Wenhuan's hand. "Take it, run out first and wait for me outside!"

"My son, you want..." Zhang Wenhua was shocked, and was pushed by Xiao Nuan before he finished speaking and walked to the top of the stairs.

Zhang Wenhuan also knew that it was not the time to be hypocritical, so he could only run downstairs with a burden.

Xiao Nuan followed the voice and found the child, and before he could think about it, he put the cloth towel on his face on the child's nose and mouth, and ran towards the exit, holding him.

"Kang, boom!"

The inn is made of wood, and with the help of the Shanghai wind, it burns very fast. The fire rushes to the second and third floors. If it weren't for Xiao Nuan's quick movements, there would be no way to go downstairs.

The high temperature made Xiao Nuan feel uncomfortably wanting to scream. She cursed in a low voice, avoided a fallen crossbar, and rushed out with the little guy in her arms.

Xiao Nuan didn't feel that she was alive until she felt the fresh air outside!

It's a catastrophe of life and death!

"My son, are you okay, my son?"

Zhang Wenhuan, who had been waiting outside, saw Xiao Nuan rushing out and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Xiao Nuan took a few deep breaths, and shook his head when he was sober.

At this moment, her face was gray and black, and she couldn't see the original appearance at all.

"My son, this child..."

Xiao Nuan looked down and saw that the child she was holding in her arms looked only two or three years old, because it was covered with a wet cloth towel, and it seemed to be no problem. He just wanted to be choked by the smoke.

"Which child is this, weird."

Xiao Nuan shook his head. "First find a place to rest for a while."

"Here, the maidservant went to find some clean water just now, just waiting for the son to come out."

Xiao Nuan laughed, she was confident in herself, if she couldn't get out...

Pooh!

She is fine now!

Xiao Nuan fed the little child a little water, and the little one eased up.

"Oh, grandma... I want grandma..."

The little guy saw that he was holding him with a black face and started to cry scary.

Xiao Nuan has been the youngest in the family since he was a child, and the mother emperor has not given birth after that. She would know how to coax the child well, but she looked at Zhang Wenhuan in a daze.

Zhang Wenhuan hugged the child and wiped his face clean with a damp cloth. "Well, good boy, don't cry, grandma will be here in a while."

After coaxing for a while, the little guy finally stopped crying.

He choked and leaned in Zhang Wenhuan's arms, and fell asleep after a while.

"My son, the fire started too suddenly."

The two raised their eyes to the inn that was almost surrounded by flames, and felt lingering. If the son awoke her quickly, she would probably not be able to get out...

"Well, when I went to the hut, I saw several people in black. They should have set the fire."

"This inn has been fine at Tianhai Wharf for so many years. I heard that it was a big man behind it. I don't know..."

Xiao Nuan's eyebrows darkened slightly.

"This matter has nothing to do with us." She is a person who is about to leave, and does not want to involve herself in unnecessary disputes.

"Yes, the servant doesn't know anything."
