Chapter 72
It is another year of Lantern Festival, and there are always fire trees and silver flowers everywhere.

The Hu family went out to watch the lanterns together. Yang Feier didn't want to go out to have fun, and told everyone that he could just stay at home and practice writing. At any rate, old man Qiu and Wu Erchi were still at home. The one who was coaxed and persuaded by Yang Feier was sent out with the others.

The factory and five stores had opened on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and many merchants came from other places. First, they passed on the orders, and then notified the bank in Anhuai Prefecture to send a deposit to the biscuit factory. They rushed over one after another, waiting for the factory to inspect the goods when they shipped, and then find the Escort to deliver the goods.

Xiu's family lived in the inn for a few days, and asked the innkeeper to rent a yard from his relative's house, which had all the facilities and moved in yesterday. This yard "coincidentally" was also located in Jinming Lane. When Father Xiu came to visit the factory, he said that this product is rare, and it will be sold well in Taiyuan Prefecture. Xiu's family also has several shops in Taiyuan Prefecture, so he also placed an order of [-] catties in the biscuit factory.

This is the biggest order in the first year. Everyone is very happy and encouraged. They all said that this is a good sign. Yang Feier is also happy, but Zhang Fuzhen reminds him, but he is also a little worried. Is this Xiu family a drunkard? Doesn't mean wine?But he didn't say anything, he was just doing business with the Hu family in a proper way, so he refused his order directly?How to say the past!
Yang Feier was counting a stack of orders on the table, thinking about how to arrange production, when he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, his mind was in a trance for a while, and before he could react, he fell unconscious in the armchair Among them.

But he said that Xiu Ji often didn't go to the street to appreciate the lanterns. He suddenly lost interest in these bustling scenes, and all his thoughts were in the small courtyard only one mile away from him. To him, that small courtyard was mysterious and sacred. How many times did he want to enter the room like Zhang Fuzhen, but he stopped again and again. He could predict that if he broke in, the consequences would be completely devastating for the little hope he had left. He will no longer be able to have any possibility with the person in his heart.

He asked his mother to rent the yard to Jinming Lane, and asked his father to do business with the Hu family. He only wanted to get closer to her, to have a closer relationship with her, and to increase the chances of success in future marriage proposals.

He now understands in his heart that the planned marriage proposal in March has little chance, almost impossible. Even if Xiu'er's parents and elders have no objections, Xiu'er herself will not agree, and he has been in the Hu family for a year. How can you not know that the big and small matters of the Hu family are all decided by that girl!In Hu's family, there are no parents' names and matchmaker's words, but only the girl's "one word"!
So since the night of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, he has temporarily put this plan on hold in his heart, and asked his parents to return to Taiyuan Mansion first, but he can't tell his parents now that he needs to wait and see, and then plan carefully. Let's talk when the time is right.

Perhaps such an opportunity will never be ripe!
Such thoughts made his thoughts suddenly become very anxious, and his mind suddenly went blank, making him unable to think deeply, and perhaps also unable to face the future without that person.He paced back and forth in the study like a trapped animal in a cage.

The moon outside was big and round, shining brightly into the room, scattering white light all over the place, white as snow, white as Xiu Jichang's thoughts at this time.

Suddenly I heard someone shouting outside: "Let's go into the water!"Let's go!The sound was very frightening, followed by a rush of gongs, mixed with the sound of people running and shouting.

Xiu Jichang reacted quickly, stepped out of the study room, and saw a large red light flashing in the east direction, like a red cloud, accompanied by thick smoke billowing straight up into the night sky, but it was in the direction of Hu's factory and Hu's house. Unable to be shocked, he quickly jumped from the courtyard to the alley, and ran straight towards the burning place.

The brilliant clouds in the distance became more intense, and the psychedelic light and shadow illuminated the whole alley red. From a distance, I saw the fire in the biscuit factory. I knew that the factory was on holiday today, and no one was inside. Only the concierge was watching the gate. Having been rescued, he was placed under the opposite wall, limp into a ball, not knowing whether it was life or death, Xiu Jichang didn't care to ask, only the fear in his heart was stronger, and he moved two more times to Hu's house.

Hu's house was in a sea of ​​flames at this time, and the raging fire devoured every building mercilessly, and there was a strong smell of kerosene from it. It seemed that the arsonists were afraid that the house would not be burned thoroughly, so they poured kerosene on purpose to promote the fire. .

Wuxia looked at him, Xiu Jichang quickly went around the east courtyard wall of Hu's residence, and came to the outside of the study courtyard wall where Yang Fei'er lived. On that night not long ago, he was still heartbroken here.

From the outside, the fire in the study room was raging. Xiu Jichang ignored it and jumped into the small courtyard. Fortunately, there were no other flammable objects in the small courtyard except for two pots of charred green bamboo bonsai. The window was billowing with flames, and the ferocious flames were raging and crackling. The door was closed tightly and it was impossible to enter. After turning around twice, he suddenly took off the clothes on his body, wrapped his head and face in two or three times, and only two eyes were exposed. , picked up a two-foot-wide flower pot, and smashed it at the window closest to the door. A big hole was broken in that window instantly, and a puff of thick smoke shot out from it. Like a big fish, he jumped into the smoky room through the broken window.

There is a cloud of smoke inside, you can't see it, although there is no open flame, it feels like jumping into a burning furnace, almost roasting people, Xiu Ji often closes his eyes, groping around his body like a blind man touching an elephant .There are four study rooms in total, which one is Xiu'er in?
Just as I was thinking about it, my hand suddenly touched a soft piece, and I grabbed it with my backhand, but it turned out to be an arm. I was very frightened, and felt the shoulder, neck, and head along the arm, and the hair was scorched and curled.

Xiu Jichang felt as if he had been punched hard in the chest, and suddenly felt a pain. With this figure and hairstyle, who else could it be if it wasn't Xiu'er?I miss her every day, but I never expected that when we meet again, life and death will be so unknown!

Remembering the location of the door and window when he came in, Xiu Jichang closed his eyes and walked towards the door in the opposite direction without hesitation, ignoring the scorching flames above, touched the door latch, quickly pulled it open, then turned back to pull Xiu'er up, bent With their waists supported and hugged in their arms, the two of them came out of this purgatory on earth.

When he came to the courtyard, he didn't stop there, he raised his breath and climbed up the courtyard wall, and left the Hu's house in the sea of ​​flames.

There were ten neighbors at the gate of Hu's house. These people didn't go out at night. They didn't expect such a big event. They were passing buckets of water from a family's well and pouring it on the fire. The fire was so fierce it barely worked.

Everyone was anxious and helpless, when they suddenly saw a person coming out from the side, with his head and face completely covered, only a pair of red eyes were exposed, holding a girl in his arms, she was the daughter of the Hu family, just like a The torn quilt was soft in the arms of the strange man, his hair was scorched, his face was like red paper, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was unconscious.

The weird man anxiously asked them: "Everyone, do you know where the nearest doctor is?"

One of them said: "Doctor Jiang lives in our Jinming Lane, but I don't know if he will be at home tonight. I will lead the way!" Then he took Xiu Jichang to the east.

Knocking on the door of Dr. Jiang's house, the concierge asked why he was here. Dr. Jiang happened to be at home tonight, so he blocked the person who led the way, and asked Xiu Jichang to send them all the way to the main room in the east wing of Jiang's house. According to the concierge's instructions, Yang Fei You carefully placed it on a two-and-a-half-foot-wide couch in the middle of the main room. Doctor Jiang hurried out of the main room after hearing the report from the medicine boy at home. On the square stool prepared by the concierge, the drug boy lit several oil lamps and candles, illuminating the whole room brightly.

Doctor Jiang felt Yang Feier's pulse for a while, then brought the oil lamp close to Yang Feier's eyes, opened his eyelids, and looked carefully at the pupils.Returning the oil lamp to the porter, the medicine boy handed over a tongue depressor, looked at the tongue coating, and quickly wrote a prescription for Shenfu Decoction and Siwu Decoction on the side desk, and ordered the medicine boy to grab the medicine.

Xiu Ji asked quickly, "Excuse me, doctor, how is the situation?"

Dr. Jiang didn't lift his eyelids and said, "Don't worry, luckily he was rescued in time, and his life will be safe."

Xiu Jichang finally let go of his burning heart, and let out a long breath.

Here Dr. Jiang took his acupuncture box again, and ordered Xiu Jichang and the concierge to approach with oil lamps to illuminate it.

Dr. Jiang took a few long needles at Baihui, Guanyuan, Fuliu, Taiyuan, Taixi, Zusanli acupoints, moved the needles on them, and moxibusted Baihui and Guanyuan with moxibustion moxibustion. point, until the skin flushed, and even vesicles formed, but Yang Feier still showed no signs of waking up.I had to keep the needles on the acupuncture points and wait and see what happened, hoping that the situation would improve.

The medicine boy took the medicine and set fire to it in the corridor to suffer.

At this moment, Xiu Jichang pulled out his hand, took off the clothes wrapped around his head, and put them on again. Under the candlelight, Yang Feier lay motionless on the board, short of breath, his face was red, and the clothes on his body were taken off. Only the undershirt was left, with silver needles pierced on it, which gleamed coldly with the breath under the candlelight.

At night, he stood behind the gable of the house opposite the Hu family, and saw the Hu family go out from a distance. Ji Xiu'er sent everyone to the door and watched them leave, but he turned around and went back. At that time, he was still upset. When you plan to watch the lanterns on the street, if you come across something by chance, even if you can't get closer to each other, you can still talk about your lovesickness.So after saving Xiu'er alone, Xiu Jichang was not in a hurry to search and rescue other people.

But there was another sound of gongs outside, and another group of footsteps running, and someone said: "Okay, okay, the official water dragon team is here!"

But Xiu Jichang didn't respond at all, as if he hadn't heard anything, he sat next to Bantao, just staring at Yang Feier blankly.
