Chapter 9
Along the way, Meng Xiaosuo remained silent, not because she was pretending to be deep, but because she felt a little uneasy in her heart.Zhao Lingling talked to Gu Zhiyuan casually, regardless of whether the latter was listening or not.Not long after, the three of them arrived at the busiest street at the foot of Mengshan.

Zhao Lingling was quickly attracted by the dazzling array of gadgets. She squatted in front of a jewelry booth, picking left and right with great interest.Meng Xiaosuo stood aside boredly, yawning.She got up in a hurry today and forgot to wear her veil. The stall owner's daughter is only six or seven years old. She wears pigtails and has two dimples looming on her pink face. The scarred face was suddenly taken aback, tears and snot were rushing: "Dad, dad! There are monsters!"

The stall owner looked embarrassed and patted his daughter's head, not knowing how to end it.These three people seem to have a lot of background, especially the young man in the middle, who should be a high-ranking official. If he offends him, he may not be able to eat and walk around.Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

"Why are you crying? If you cry again, the monster will eat you!" Meng Xiaosuo said with her eyes wide open.

Zhao Lingling put down the rouge in her hand, covered her face with a handkerchief, and kept laughing to herself—no matter how much scheming you, Meng Xiaosuo, might not be able to seduce Young Master Jiu, is there any man in this world who likes a tigress?
Unexpectedly, when Gu Zhiyuan saw Meng Xiaoshu's fierce look, he smiled slightly.The longer he got along, the more interesting he felt that this woman was very different from those he had seen before.

The stall owner's daughter wailed louder, and Gu Zhiyuan clapped his hands and pinched his face to tease her for a long time, but it still had little effect.Meng Xiaoshu sneered at him as a rich brother, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, and bought a bunch of candied haws.

Shaking the bright red candied haws in front of the little girl, the little girl stopped crying, took it, and held it in her arms. She timidly looked at Meng Xiaosuo, as if she felt that this person was not so scary anymore, and turned her head away. Said to Gu Zhiyuan in a childish voice: "Brother, your wife is really bad!"

Her voice was loud or small, and it happened that both Meng Xiaosuo and Zhao Lingling could hear it.

Although this place is at the foot of Mengshan Mountain, it is a remote place, not comparable to the capital city, but it is also very taboo. Women who are not engaged or married are not allowed to go out at will.Meng Xiaosuo and Gu Zhiyuan walked together all the way, and Gu Zhiyuan's affection for her was completely palpable, no wonder even this little girl thought they were a couple.

Gu Zhiyuan was very happy in his heart, but Meng Xiaosuo, a tigress next to him, stared at him with a gloomy expression, so he could only hide this smile in his heart.On the contrary, Zhao Lingling's face was even more gloomy than Meng Xiaosuo's.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the side of the street. The three of them raised their eyes and saw thick smoke billowing from a house not far away.A woman about thirty years old screamed and ran out from the house, and turned around hastily after running a few steps.

It turned out that under the collapsed wall, there was a middle-aged man, who seemed to be her husband.

Meng Xiaosuo knew these two people. The man was Li Laoer and the woman was Li Ersao. When she first came to Mengshan, Li Ersao helped her with hot steamed buns.

The stall owner stood up in surprise and said, "Isn't this Li's restaurant?"

Immediately afterwards, there were chattering comments from the crowd:
"It's so pitiful. There's no way to put out a fire in a restaurant. Once the fire comes down, there's nothing left!"

"Tsk tsk, what a crime..."

After a while, many people came forward to splash water, but the fire was so strong that they frightened all the helpers away, and only the second sister-in-law was left, crying to save her husband who was crushed under the wall.But with her thin arms, I'm afraid she can't even lift a bucket. How can she lift a wall?

"Would you like to take a look?" Gu Zhiyuan frowned slightly and asked, but there was no response for a long time.Turning his head to look, where is Meng Xiaosuo's shadow beside him?

At this moment, Meng Xiaosuo has come to the edge of the wine shop, but the crowds of onlookers can't get through.

Are these people helping or making trouble?Sighing, she tapped her feet to the ground in desperation, jumped up, stepped on the heads of everyone, and rushed towards Second Aunt Li.Everyone's attention was on the Li couple who were trapped in the fire, how could they bother to look at the sky?And she went to the place where the smog was the thickest, so she was naturally not seen.

Just now, she hastily glanced at the situation here. The wall on Li Er Er's body can be said to be thick or thin, but with the strength of her and Li Er's sister-in-law, it is determined that she will not be able to lift it up for a while. Only by crushing those clay bricks with the palm can people be rescued as soon as possible.

Fortunately, in her previous life, she practiced her palm technique to a high degree of proficiency, and in this life, it is also smooth and smooth. A mere earthen wall is not difficult for her at all, with a few bangs, it becomes countless pieces.

Li Lao Er lightened up and immediately got up.

Suddenly there was a "bang" in Meng Xiaoshu's ears, the beams that had been burned into charcoal finally couldn't support the roof and collapsed suddenly.The blazing flames rushed towards her face, she managed to dodge with lightness kung fu, and turned her head to see that Li Ersao, who was standing next to her, had disappeared, most likely buried in the ruins!

And that second Li didn't intend to save people at all, instead he ran away without looking back!

Meng Xiaocom was stunned, and all the people who witnessed this scene were also stunned.

At this moment, Meng Xiaosuo really wanted to catch this wolf-hearted bastard back, and let him taste what it was like to be abandoned by others!

"Hurry up!" A hand grabbed her, and when he turned his head, it was Gu Zhiyuan.This gentle and jade-like Mr. Pianpian squeezed through the crowd and ran in at some point. Whether it was because of anger or worry, his well-defined face was almost distorted and out of shape.

"No, I'm going to rescue Mrs. Li!" Meng Xiaoshu struggled desperately.

"Look!" Someone shouted in surprise.

I saw a thin figure staggering towards me, it was Li Ersao!It can be said that God has eyes, when the beams of the house collapsed just now, she escaped by chance and only suffered some skin trauma.

The three of them fled outside side by side. The billowing smoke made the short few steps extremely long. When Meng Xiaosuo's vision gradually became blurred, countless hands stretched out and pulled them out of the sea of ​​flames.There was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves not far away, Meng Xiaoshu turned her head to look, and saw that it was the second son Li who had abandoned his wife and fled, now he had become a burning man, baring his teeth and claws, so scary!
It turned out that this man was a drunkard, and the wine gourd on his waist caused a catastrophe, and the wine spilled all over his body during his escape, so it was difficult not to catch fire.

"Tsk, what a retribution!"

"This kind of person should be burned alive!"

Contempt was written on everyone's face.

Having said that, many people still brought water from the house and splashed it on him hastily.Perhaps the life of the second brother Li was supposed to die, and a basin of water was poured on him, but it didn't work at all, and he rolled feebly on the ground, and he was about to die.

"Are you okay?" Gu Zhiyuan looked at Meng Xiaosuo firmly, with a face full of self-blame.It was his idea to come to the market, but unexpectedly this happened.

"I'm fine." Meng Xiaoshu shook her head, only to realize that her hand had been firmly held by him at some point, she pulled it out calmly, her eyes swept across the corner of the street, and suddenly saw a touch of déjà vu. figure.

 I suffered from insomnia last night, and I am in poor condition today, please forgive me.
