Chapter 106 Fighting the Fire
After a brief trance, Cheng Yingmei quickly placed Xiaoling in her room.

After gently placing Xiaoling on the bed.

Seeing the fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her slightly shaking body, Cheng Yingmei wiped it briefly with distress.

Just as he was about to get up and leave to help put out the fire, Xiaoling grabbed him.

“Aniang—don’t leave!”

"I'm scared! I'm scared!"

Cheng Yingmei's heart trembled when she heard A Niang shouting, and her eyes couldn't help but get wet.

Poor child, with such a father!

Cheng Yingmei patted Xiaoling and coaxed her in a low voice while always observing what was going on outside.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoling, you are safe now, everything is fine."

"Sleep, sleep for a while."

Under Cheng Yingmei's soft soothing voice, Xiaoling seemed to have found a harbor where she could live, and her fear gradually dissipated.

The aroma on the tip of her nose was a bit unfamiliar, but it gave her the same warm feeling as grandma.

As her breathing became regular, Xiaoling's tightly held hands gradually loosened.

Cheng Yingmei took this opportunity to put Xiaoling's hand back under the quilt.

After confirming that the other party was fine, Cheng Yingmei did not dare to delay any longer and ran out quickly.

He picked up the wooden bucket placed in the corner of the yard, trotted to the well and fetched a bucket of water.

The bucket is heavy and Cheng Yingmei is fast, so it inevitably shakes from side to side along the way, which is a bit difficult.

At this moment, many people had gathered outside Yao Niang's courtyard. Everyone came to put out the fire spontaneously with buckets in their hands.

Yaoniang is usually kind to others, and Xiaoling is well-behaved and sensible.

The neighbors around them all knew something about their affairs, and felt some pity in their hearts.

Faced with such a disaster, naturally we will not just sit back and watch, but we will do whatever we can to help.

There was a lot of noise, and everyone in the neighborhood was mobilized.

Cheng Yingmei weaved in and out of the crowd and splashed the water in her hand vigorously.

Translucent water splashed onto the swollen flames, and the flames instantly shrank by a few inches.

But after getting enough air, he jumped up again.

Cheng Yingmei took a short breath, then carried the bucket to the well again to fetch water.

Once, twice, three times...

At the back, Cheng Yingmei no longer remembered how many times she had run back and forth.

His arms were numb, and the tiger's mouth was red and swollen from the barrel and hemp rope.

Touching it accidentally, the pain is so painful that it makes people gasp.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the fire has been mostly suppressed.

There are still some remaining flames dancing on the fine pieces of wood, which are not large in scale.

However, under the high temperature evaporation, the scene was filled with thick smoke and water vapor, which made the mouth and nose uncomfortable.

After Cheng Yingmei choked for a few times, she was forced to go to the outer circle to breathe fresh air.

After breathing heavily for a while, I felt a little smoother.

He coughed twice and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm with a hint of black smoke in his throat.

At this time, Cheng Yingmei completely regained her clarity.

Ignoring the mottled black smoke on her face, Cheng Yingmei ran towards the house.

Although in this extreme situation, there is almost no chance of survival, Cheng Yingmei does not give up.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

Maybe Yao Niang had already escaped when the fire broke out?
As long as you haven't seen the body, there is a possibility of being alive!
Cheng Yingmei nervously held up her skirt and walked among the charred ruins.

But when she got really close, she felt a little scared.

Every detail of these days with Yao Niang flashed through my mind involuntarily.

Yao Niang was Cheng Yingmei's first friend when she came here, and she was also the first person to help her and show her kindness.

It can be said that without Yao Niang’s help, Cheng Yingmei would not have been able to live in Qiubu Village so quickly.

Although they have only known each other for a short time, they have become like old friends for many years.They had obviously made an appointment in the evening.

We have to go to work together tomorrow, and if we are free later, we can take Xiaoling for a walk in the town.

Go and try the snacks and sugar drinks that are hotly sold recently, and go shopping together like a girl.

I just slept for a while, why...how...
Cheng Yingmei knew Yao Niang's situation. She also had a scandalous husband.

It is precisely because of this that the two of them particularly cherish each other.

The same tragic experience and unfortunate fate resonated in an instant.

Cheng Yingmei did not reveal anything about the mysterious immortal at first, but now she really hopes that he can appear again.

If it had been earlier, if the immortal had been found earlier, would Yao Niang not have died?

Cheng Yingmei couldn't help but feel guilty, even though the incident had nothing to do with her.

The fate and fate of each person are different.

The last time she was able to get Cheng Yao's help was by chance.

It's a pity that this time Yao Niang couldn't escape Weng Danian's harm to her.

Tears fell, Cheng Yingmei bit her lip, not wanting to cry.

But after the rescue, the feeling of separation and inner regret hit her like an overwhelming ocean.

The people on the side noticed her strangeness and quickly came up and asked with concern.

"Yingmei, are you okay?"

"On weekdays, you and Yao Niang have the best relationship, but something like this suddenly happened today..."

"Don't be too sad, just give me your condolences."

"By the way, Xiaoling, have you seen it? Why can't I find anyone in the blink of an eye?"

"Now that Yao Niang is gone, nothing can happen to poor Xiaoling."

Cheng Yingmei wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand and choked up.

He replied in the clearest voice possible.

"I, I'm fine."

"Xiao Ling is asleep in my room, don't worry."

"This child was very frightened, and he ran so fast. It's normal for him to be unable to bear it all of a sudden."

"Everything is in a mess now, Xiaoling will follow me first."

"We will make arrangements after all these things are taken care of later."

The people beside him let out a long sigh, not sure whether they were pity for Yao Niang's miserable death, or because Xiaoling was orphaned at such a young age.

"You're still interested."

"My wife is lucky to have you as her friend."

Several tall and strong men were gathered on the other side.

The roof beam of this house collapsed, resting on the top.

There was no way to exhume the body without moving it.

Cheng Yingmei walked to one side and made way for them.

With the combined efforts of everyone, the wreckage underneath was gradually revealed.

Cheng Yingmei glanced briefly and didn't dare to take a closer look, and quickly looked away.

Those strong men walked in and wanted to carry out the bones.

But suddenly I heard one of them exclaim.

"Inseparable!"

"She bit her tightly and I didn't dare to use brute force."

These words sounded confusing. Cheng Yingmei overcame the fear in her heart and bravely walked up.

After she saw everything in front of her clearly, the tears that she had originally suppressed could no longer be held back.

He knelt down on the ground and cried loudly.
