After hearing Xueying's question, Shen Ruoyan explained: "It doesn't matter. We just need to ensure that the section near here is not burned, and the section behind is suspended in the air. We don't have to worry about whether it is fireproof or not."

Xueying slapped her head and realized that what they had just imagined was to climb down along the attic. Naturally, they had to consider the issue of fire protection for the escape rope. The current method was to tie the rope to the tree, except for the one near the attic. Small section, the rest of the long section is in the air, there is no need to worry about being burned.

Wanting to understand what was going on, everyone took off their outer robes and got behind the rope. The escape rope was quickly connected to a long length.

After finishing the escape rope, Shuyao gathered the remaining people together.

Lu Yan picked up the rope everyone had made and pulled it, tested the firmness, and after making sure it was OK, he tied one end to a pillar in the house, then took the other end and walked to the window sill.

Shen Ruoyan also followed him to the window sill. A gust of breeze blew away some of the surrounding smoke, revealing a clear sky. It was as if she could see the scene of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting on the Magpie Bridge, and their bridge connected life. I wonder if the bridge can be built successfully?

Looking at Lu Yan's back, Shen Ruoyan's heart was raised high, and everyone on the side was waiting with bated breath.

This young man's leap is the key to deciding whether they live or die.

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Yan turned his head, showed a confident smile to Shen Ruoyan, and then flew out of the pavilion, like a light flying swallow, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and finally landed steadily on the tree canopy.

There was a burst of cheers in the attic.

Lu Yan fixed the rope and raised his hand to indicate to the person on the other side that they could come over.

Seeing the hope of escape, the people who had been very united just now no longer cared about being modest and courteous, and crowded forward one after another, hoping to escape from this nightmare place as quickly as possible.

In the chaos, Xueying was pushed by someone unknown and fell on the fence nearby, almost falling out. Fortunately, Shen Ruoyan had quick eyes and quick hands and pulled her back.

Looking at the crowd scrambling for the first place, Shen Ruoyan was unable to accuse them of anything and could only protect Xueying and step aside.

Lu Yan, on the other end, became a little anxious as he watched people slipping down one after another, but he still didn't see the figure of the person he cared about.

Looking up, the burning attic might fall down at any time, but the person he cared about never came down.

At this time, Shuyao grabbed the cloth and slid down, and Lu Yan hurried over.

Seeing Lu Yan's anxious expression, Shuyao was filled with joy. It turned out that Senior Brother Lu still cared about her. Unexpectedly, what Lu Yan asked was: "Where is she?"

Shuyao was stunned on the spot by this question.

Could it be that Senior Brother Lu only has that woman in his heart and doesn't care about him at all?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Yan changed his usual cold tone and asked again, his tone full of anxiety, "Where is she? You don't think much of her?"

Only then did Shuyao calm down, remembering that Lu Yan had told her to protect the woman, but it would have been good if she didn't stab Shen Ruoyan in the back. How could she protect Shen Ruoyan.

Shuyao defended herself in a panic: "Everyone was squeezing to escape. The scene was very chaotic. I couldn't see where she was, so she was pushed down."

After listening to Shuyao's words, Lu Yan secretly clenched his fists and regretted in his heart that he should not have left her alone there. He wished he could rush back to the fire scene and bring the person out.

There were already people around with buckets rushing to put out the fire. Unfortunately, the water was just a drop in the bucket before the raging fire.

The fire burned more and more fiercely. Shen Ruoyan knew that she and Xueying, two weak women, could not snatch those men away, so she had to wait aside with Xueying. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people at the window sill, hope became more and more clear. Now in front of me.

At this time, neither of them noticed that the beam above their heads began to become loose. Due to the long-term burning, the brackets supporting the hanging wood below were burned very fragile. Suddenly, with a "coaxing" sound, the entire beam fell down.

At the critical moment, Xueying instinctively pushed Shen Ruoyan beside her, but she had no time to avoid it and was firmly pressed under the beam.

There were a few people who had not escaped who were so frightened by this scene that they started shouting loudly.

"Help, the house is going to collapse!"

"Hurry up, get down quickly, I want to get out of here too."

"What are you urging me to do? I can't control my hands anymore. If I urge you to hold you and jump down together, neither of us will survive."

Shen Ruoyan crawled to Xueying on her hands and knees, trying to pull her out, but the beam was too heavy and her strength as a woman was far from enough. She shouted towards the window sill, hoping that someone would come to help her, but those people only cared How can you care so much when you are running for your life?

"Girl, stop shouting and leave quickly." Xueying, who was pressed under the beam, her eyes gradually dimmed, a sign of helpless resignation.

Shen Ruoyan took off the veil from her face and wiped the tears from her face, but her own tears seemed to be broken and kept dripping down.

Xueying saw Shen Ruoyan's whole face clearly and raised a weak smile: "So you are so beautiful! If I had known better, I wouldn't have fought with you."

Hearing that she was still in the mood to joke, Shen Ruoyan raised her hand and touched her face. The originally beautiful face was suddenly stained with black dust, which made Xueying smile even more.

This made Shen Ruoyan feel even more guilty. She took Xueying's hand and tried with all her strength to pull her out, but she still didn't move.

Shen Ruoyan sat slumped on the ground. He had just promised her that he would rescue her, but now he could only watch her being pressed here, but he was powerless.

Xueying laughed for a while and suddenly let go of Shen Ruoyan's hand, "Girl, leave me alone and leave quickly. This is what I am doing anyway, so what if I escape? Why don't I continue to suffer? Why don't I just die here and be done with it." "

Xueying's open-mindedness made Shen Ruoyan feel even more uncomfortable, and she said hurriedly: "Actually, I am quite rich. I can help you redeem your life and give you some silver to open a shop. If you don't want to stay here, I have relatives in the capital. , I can arrange for you to go there and start your life again..."

Shen Ruoyan spoke softer and softer, and suddenly realized how cruel it was for him to describe a beautiful future to her at this time.

Xueying smiled slightly, "Actually, I have already saved enough money to redeem myself, but I am stupid and always think that that stinky man will come back to me one day. If I leave, what if he really comes back? I can't be found!

In love, there has to be someone who is a bit more stupid and has to sacrifice more. Maybe I am that fool. "
