Chapter 141: Standing Up

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Ying entered her interspatial store when the fire started burning. She put on a fire suit while inside before coming out. She brought the unconscious people who were still breathing into her interspatial store.

However, as the fire continued to burn, even with the protective suit, she couldn’t escape from the blazing fire unscathed. So, she planned to leave only after the fire had almost died down.

However, how were Jiang Yang and the others to know that Su Ying was safe? “Master, the slope behind is on fire. Mistress is still on the slope!” Jiang Yang returned to the courtyard and reported the situation to Xiao Jin immediately. Xiao Jin’s expression changed drastically. “What did you say? Su Ying is still on the mountain?”

“Yes. Someone saw her. Mistress fell into a pit!”

“What… what should we do?” Aunt Zhao and the rest heard the commotion and walked over. When they found out that Su Ying was trapped in the sea of flames, they were so anxious that they wanted to cry.

Xiao Jin gripped the armrest of his wheelchair tightly, his face extremely tense. “Jiang Yang, immediately take Number One and the others to put out the fire. Tell Tiger Might and the others to mobilize everyone to put out the fire on the mountain. Hurry!”

“Yes, Sir.”

Number One and the others had already returned. When they heard that Su Ying was in danger, they didn’t wish for her to be in trouble immediately. Instead, they were afraid that something bad would happen to her. They didn’t even realize the change in their mentality.

Tiger Might had also received the news on his side. He personally led his men and rushed to the slope.

Fortunately, there was a branch of the stream near the slope, so everyone went there to get water to put out the fire.

Chu Yun stood in the corridor on the second floor and held tightly onto the three children who wanted to dash out.

“All of you don’t worry. Mistress will definitely be fine.”

Even Aunt Zhao was weeping as she went to the backyard to get a wooden bucket to join the people to put out the fire. No one stopped her this time. Almost everyone brought along all the tools they could carry and rushed to the slope to put out the fire.

Chu Yun lowered his head and looked at Xiao Jin, who was in the courtyard. His eyes suddenly widened.

“Your Highness!”

Xiao Jin’s body was calm, but he stood up from the wheelchair with an exceptionally determined expression.

“Zhao Neng, you and Chu Yun will take care of the children in the house.” After Xiao Jin steadied himself, he took his first step stiffly.

“Your Highness, your legs…” Chu Yun’s expression changed instantly. Su Ying had not said it was time for him to stand up!

“Take care of them!” After Xiao Jin slowly got used to his legs, he turned around and headed in the direction of the stables without the slightest sign of joy at his ability to stand up again.

“Father, Father, you must save Mother! Father!” The older toddler Ji and the younger toddler Ling held onto the railing tightly. They wanted to follow their father but Chu Yun held on to them tightly.

“Boo hoo hoo, Mother… I want my mother…” In fact, the younger toddler Ling did not know what it meant when she heard people talking about the great fire burning in the mountain. She could only sense the emotions of the adults and became extremely uneasy as a result.

Xiao Jin mounted his horse in one move and left the courtyard. The alpha wolf leader, which used to lie lazily outside the courtyard, seemed to have sensed something at this time. The entire wolf pack stood up like a solid line of defense outside the courtyard.

“Protect this place!”

Howl!

Xiao Jin spurred his horse onward and left.

At this moment, Number One and the others had already arrived at the slope. Some of them fetched water, while others used branches to put out the fire. Everyone had a determined look on their faces. It was as if they felt they would be able to put out the fire as long as they persisted in repeating the same actions.

Aunt Zhao, Bai Shuang, and the rest were all holding back their tears, fumbling around madly to extinguish the flames until they could barely open their eyes under the constant exposure to the stinging smoke. However, they did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

“Mistress, you must remain safe! Mistress…”

Tiger Might had also arrived with his men. He immediately asked everyone to join in to fight the fire. Even Li Laosan and the others brought shovels and spades to put out the fire.

The sky gradually darkened, but the fire still illuminated the slope brightly.

Su Ying didn’t stay idle in the interspatial store. After she caught her breath, she stood up and checked the injuries of the people she dragged in. She also had to make sure that they wouldn’t wake up in the interspatial store.

The bones of many people had been crushed by the collapsed pit, so it was not easy to treat these injuries.

She dragged them into the operating room one by one and treated them.

The fire burned from night to dawn, and from dawn to night again. It was only on the morning of the third day that the fire gradually died down.

Who would have thought that a small slope could burn for so long after catching fire!

By now, everyone was so exhausted from fighting the fire that they couldn’t even lift their fingers. However, the fire hadn’t been completely extinguished and they hadn’t found Su Ying yet. Thus, they couldn’t stop.

Due to the long period of smoke getting into their eyes, the eyes of Bai Shuang and the others were swollen up until they looked like two walnuts. The swelling was so bad that they could only open their eyes a slit.

Aunt Zhao gave a long sigh and wanted to stand up, but just as she lifted her butt, she fell back down.

Her arms and legs were already weak, and she couldn’t move anymore.

“Aunt Zhao, you should rest for a while…” Bai Shuang also felt bad when she saw Aunt Zhao in this state. Due to the effects of the smoke, Bai Shuang’s throat had become hoarse, and when she spoke, she sounded like some broken bellows.

However, Aunt Zhao shook her head. “I can’t stop until I find Mistress. Quickly put out this fire. Finding her is more important.”

“Mm-hmm!”

Xiao Jin’s face was covered with a damp cloth. For every inch of ground where the fire was put out, he would search an inch up the mountain. He searched all the burnt corpses but still didn’t find the pit Lian Qiao mentioned.

Qiao Yang’s face was blackened by the smoke, and his legs wobbled as he walked down the slope.

He also did not once take a break from fighting the fire.

“Big Brother, Big Brother…”

Tiger Might grabbed Qiao Yang, who was about to collapse.

Qiao Yang had been holding on for two days now. When he looked at Tiger’s face, which was also covered in grime, he broke down at last.

“Big Brother, do you think Madam Su will be fine?”

Tiger Might’s face clouded over but he didn’t say anything.

The fire had been burning for a long time, and Li Yong had told him that the pit was at the top of the slope. It had even collapsed. After so long, no matter how powerful Su Ying was, there was no possibility of her surviving.

The truth was cruel, but Tiger Might still hardened his heart and said, “Qiao Yang, you should know that the possibility of getting out of such a big fire alive is very small.”

“Impossible! Don’t talk nonsense. I’m telling you, Madam Su is very powerful. You don’t even know how powerful she is. What are you talking about!” Qiao Yang jumped up at once and roared at Tiger Might.

Tiger Might also hoped for a miracle, but could there really be miracles in this world?

Xiao Jin didn’t care if there were any miracles in this world. There was only one thing on his mind, and that was to locate Su Ying!

As the fire had just been put out, the ground was still warm from being burned earlier.

The horse stopped moving after walking one round.

Xiao Jin could only jump off his horse and step on the hot, scorched ground to continue searching.

“The pit! We found the pit! We found the pit!”

Xiao Jin rushed over at once when he heard the commotion..
