Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 113
(30)

If it is said that in the time before this night, everything was considered proper and traceable, then what happened tonight is really a "headless injustice case".This is because most of those who witnessed it can only remember that it was a silent fire: no one knew where it came from and why it came from.

People at that time only knew that this silent fire completely devoured their hopes.

It is said that it was the drug boy who was in charge of night watch in the Zhangjia Pharmacy who first discovered the fire.It was still half-shift at that time, and it hadn't been long before people went to bed and rested.

At first, there was only a little black smoke from the place where the medicinal materials were stored in the back hall.Seeing this, the Yao boy felt surprised, so he carried the lantern and walked away, intending to find out.

Unexpectedly, but in an instant, a beam of intense fire burst out of the eye, illuminating the entire warehouse for storing medicines.And because the roof of the warehouse was made of ordinary haystacks, the fire could quickly spread here.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the little boy of the drug boy faced the warehouse door and shouted towards the dark night sky: "It's on fire! It's on fire! Come put out the fire! Come someone..."

He hissed as he knocked on his clogs, police guards, or whatever else was available.Those people who just started to settle their minds were stunned and panicked, and they all rushed out of the door to the back hall.

I don't know if it was due to the spontaneous combustion of the grass caused by the continuous drought, or someone deliberately set the fire.At this time, everyone in the pharmacy only knew that the fire was spreading like someone was behind the scenes.If possible, they really would rather believe that this is the will of God.

After a while, the fire quickly spread to the nearby huts, kitchens, and medicine houses.If it wasn't for others to draw water in time to put it out, the fire might spread to the entire Zhang family.

People took wooden barrels, wooden basins, and all containers that could hold things, filled the few water that was originally used for drinking, and wanted to open the warehouse door and go in to put out the flames.Just as soon as the door was opened, the exuberant flames inside were exhausted from the desire to move forward.Inside this small thatched hut, it was like a red-hot medicine pot, and the air filled with the heat wave was filled with bursts of heartbreaking medicine fragrance.

The sudden deflagration of the flames will lift those roofs like a whirlwind, allowing the flames inside to escape completely.At night, it's more like a big fire, people "dancing" wildly around it, pouring the little water on it without hesitation, but in the end, it can only fuel the momentum of the flames.

In desperation, in order to keep the pharmacy, people had no choice but to turn to cut off the way the flames spread, and watched the unreasonable fire, burning all the medicinal materials that had been hard-picked in the past few days to ashes!

"No...no!" A man with disheveled hair was facing the building that had been burnt out of shape, sadly, and said: "Those are life-saving things! They can't just disappear like this!" His side tried his best to stop him, but he still couldn't let him give up the idea of ​​going to rescue the medicine.

Xiaohu, who was going to Xiahe Town for help, brought a gong and kept beating along the road to convey the news of the fire in the pharmacy to the townspeople.The able-bodied people took the water tank at home without saying a word, and pushed the cart to rush to help; those weak women and children also knew that it was impossible to be alone at this time, so they all tried their best to help others.

The Zhangjia Pharmacy surrounded by flames was immediately surrounded by a mess of human voices.Everyone does their best and is not afraid of hardships and dangers.Some medicine boys worried that those medical books that have been passed down for thousands of years would be burned, so they wanted to petition the master and planned to transport all the important books.

Little did he know that Zhang Yi had completely lost his fighting spirit at this time.He knelt down on the ground slumped, looking at the sparks floating in the night sky, and murmured in his mouth: "God's will... God's will... I will never be able to defeat..."

E Feiying on the side also kept saying comforting words, saying that she could ask others to bring the medicine back from other places.All in all, there's no need to be so negative.

Perhaps Zhang Yi already knew that, as a doctor, all he could do was cure diseases and save lives.When faced with things beyond his reach, he could only raise his head and sigh.

"There is not much medicine left in the mountains, and it will take at least ten days to transport medicine from other places. What's more, we don't have time to plan anymore..." Zhang Yi said, and let his Apprentices, don't act rashly, even if you stood up by yourself, smoothed your clothes, walked into the fire scene, and planned to go to the dormitory to take out those important books and manuscripts in person: "You are still young, such a life-threatening thing, you should let it go!" Let me, the 'master', do it."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yi took advantage of the flames before they spread, bypassed the place where the flames were strong, and went to the dormitory to pack up the things he needed.But after a while, E Feiying also came with a few people.Seeing that Zhang Yi was friends with them, he didn't say anything to hinder them, and let them help.

Leaning less, the flame will die, and everything it passes will become nothingness.Sweat-stained and plastered people sat beside the pile of ruins and wreckage, sighing and mourning, completely losing the joyful atmosphere of playing in the mountains before.Maybe I am still thinking about my sick family members and what to do in the future.

It was at this time that those people who were ghosts and ghosts came one after another.

After half an hour of the night, the neighing of soldiers and horses roared outside the pharmacy.I saw E Binghuan and the town official Li adults each leading a team of people waiting outside, with red lanterns hanging in their hands.Among them, there is also a unique sedan chair parked.

Xiaohu, who had been standing outside the house organizing visitors, saw those officials and grandpas, and invited them in.Seeing this battle, Master Li immediately got off his horse and invited the people in the sedan chair out, and said, "Master Wugou is really good at predicting things! It's really counted, but it's a pity that we came a step late!"

"Don't talk so much, go in and have a look!" E Bing said, then dismounted and followed Xiaohu one step ahead.He didn't pay any attention to Master Li who was always saying compliments behind him, and the long-bearded Taoist who seemed to have a plan in mind.

E Bing still thought about the safety of his youngest daughter, and asked her where she was when he entered the door.After learning that she was in the back hall, he hurried to greet her.Unexpectedly, what he saw was not only E Feiying whose clothes were covered in dirty mud, but also Zhang Yi who was sitting on the ground flipping through books, feeling extremely lost.

"Nephew, this..." Seeing the mess in front of him, E Bing hesitated to speak.Afterwards, those two people also walked in, and he turned around and waited respectfully: "Mr. Sima, you see, this is really the monster 'Song Wuji' doing the trick?"

"The words of divination indicate that 'Song Wuji' will come down here at that time. And because Wuji is in charge of the fire, a fire will surely break out." After Sima Tu replied, he deceived himself to Zhang Yi and comforted him: "Doctor Zhang is benevolent. Kind hearted, Quan Yin Pindao failed to inform in advance, please don’t blame yourself too much. If you have any difficulties in the future, Taipingdao is willing to lend a helping hand.”

Zhang Yi laughed absurdly after hearing this, and said, "Sima Tu, Sima Tu! I understand what you mean! There are thousands of households in Xiahe Town, and almost every family has a sick person. With so many people, won't your heart ache?"

"Zhang Yi, what nonsense are you talking about, old boy!" Master Li said angrily from the side.

Zhang Yi immediately stood up and said back to Master Li, "Master Li, I have nothing to say. I can only leave the rest to you adults..."

After speaking, the doctor, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, went into the dormitory to rest with the support of his friends, waiting for the dawn.
