The strong burning smell was pungent, and the rapidly spreading fire was frightening. From the corner of my eye, I saw the corner of my clothes being ignited by sparks. I quickly took off my armor and outer shirt with my quick eyes, still looking hard at the billowing smoke.
Search carefully.
The fact that the fire can expand in such a short period of time indicates that there are flammable accessories, oil, or other materials, and it also indicates that someone is secretly causing trouble.
Walking closer, he found that the fire point was still some distance away from Sima Tulan's residence. This made Ou Suiliang feel relieved a little, but he did not dare to slow down. Who knew if there would be cold shots and hidden arrows after the fire? Anxiously.
While searching desperately in the chaos, Yi Huaiyu's hoarse shouts kept coming to his ears.
"Tu'er! Tu'er!"
In his memory, Yi Huaiyu had never been so anxious and flustered about anyone. Unknowingly, Ou Suiliang slowed down.
Thick smoke and chaotic crowds made it difficult to distinguish the clearly visible camps. Ou Suiliang was shouting back the running soldiers while directing people to extinguish the fire and be vigilant. In addition, he also tried his best to find Sima Tulan's whereabouts. He looked calm and calm.
In fact, he was in a panic, but he was just forcing himself to be calm. Fortunately, the silent prayer in his heart was heard by God. When he groped for the fourth tent, a faint cry for help came clearly.
"Tu'er? Don't move, I'll come right away!" Ou Suiliang tried hard to distinguish the direction from which the sound came. In desperation, he called out Sima Tulan's name directly. His heart trembled immediately, and he didn't dare to speak carelessly again - he liked her.
Only Yi Huaiyu knows about this matter currently. He doesn't want anyone else to notice it, especially Sima Tulan.
Since you can't get the results you want, don't cause her any trouble.
Perhaps because the surroundings were too noisy, Sima Tulan didn't seem to hear clearly who was calling her just now. When Ou Suiliang pushed aside the mess and blocked the approach, the fire had weakened a lot after everyone put out the fire. Ou Suiliang took the opportunity to take a look, and couldn't help but
Taking a breath of cold air - Sima Duran was not trapped in the tent by the fire, but her situation was worse than that. The huge log used to fix the tent fell down next to the tent and was pressing on her legs. If he hadn't arrived in time,
I'm afraid that Sima Tulan has no way to escape and can only be burned alive.
He rushed to Sima Tulan's side with a sigh of relief, and Ou Suiliang tried to lift the log, but it was very heavy.
"Be patient, and hurry out when I lift the log." He lowered his eyebrows and gently warned Sima Duran. When Sima Duran calmed down and nodded firmly, Ou Suiliang dared to use all his strength to lift the log.
.
The fire-scorched earth was blazing hot everywhere. The lower end of the log had been burned into a black charcoal color. Although the upper part was not burned, it was also heated by the fire. Only when Yi Huaiyu lifted the log halfway did he realize that the palm of his hand was piercing the heart.
However, he did not dare to relax at all, for fear that the heavy log would hurt Sima Tulan again, so he had to grit his teeth and endure the pain and continue.
Sima Duran knew that the log was quite heavy, and it was very difficult for Ou Suiliang to lift it. However, despite the severe pain in her legs, she still tried her best to move out the moment the log was lifted.
How could the movement of a person with a little life in her belly not be affected? Just as Sima Duran was sweating profusely and struggling inch by inch, a pair of arms held her firmly, and with a strong pull, her whole body escaped from the log.
Under the threat of heavy pressure, under the action of inertia, he fell backward together with the people behind him.
"Huaiyu?!" Turning around and seeing a familiar face that was blackened by fireworks, Sima Tulan was surprised and happy. Regardless of who was watching sadly, she threw herself into Yi Huaiyu's arms and buried her head deeply.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Yi Huaiyu gently stroked his hair that was slightly curly due to the fire, with gentle lips, "Let's leave here first. Come on, I'll carry you out."
Sima Tulan climbed onto Yi Huaiyu's back obediently, while Ou Suiliang followed silently. The three of them quickly evacuated from the fire area, and the false alarm finally passed.
The fire was quickly extinguished by the soldiers. Another deputy general led a team of people to search for clues in the fire. The injured soldiers gathered outside the general's tent and waited for treatment by the army doctors. Inside the general's tent were the relatively lightly injured deputy generals joining the army and Yi Huaiyu.
There were several people. The doctor who accompanied the army was so busy that Yi Huaiyu simply asked for burn medicine and applied it to Sima Tulan himself. He also found a thick branch to temporarily use as a crutch for her.
"There are no serious burns. The doctor said that the legs are fine. It's just that if you press them for too long, they will be paralyzed for a period of time. If you survive the disaster, you will be lucky." Half-jokingly teasing Sima Tulan and Yi Huaiyu, who were still in shock.
A relieved smile appeared on his face.
Sima Duran glared at him, then thought of something, and frowned with her slender dark eyebrows: "Someone set the fire on purpose. I was taking a nap before the fire, and vaguely heard a rustling outside the tent, so I went out to take a look. Just now
As soon as I opened the curtain, I saw two people secretly tinkering with something. I wanted to stop the two people from interrogating me, but someone unexpectedly attacked me from behind. I was hit on the head and then passed out. I didn't wake up until you called me.
Come."
"Let's ask more about it after they come back from the search." Yi Huaiyu didn't even raise his head, and gently pushed the medicinal oil with his warm palm.
"What's wrong with your hand?" She accidentally caught a glimpse of the redness on the back of Yi Huaiyu's hand, with a few dazzling blisters. Sima Tulan took a breath and touched it carefully with her fingertips, "Does it hurt?"
Yi Huaiyu shook his head.
The little soldier who was helping him looked back and said with a grin: "The general was planning to deliver medicine to Miss Sima just now. Unexpectedly, something happened over there just halfway. The general knocked over the medicine in a hurry.
.I just made the medicine and it’s still hot. No, the general’s hands have been burned.”
It is inevitable to suffer hardships and injuries during marching and fighting, but this kind of injury is really not worth it. Sima Tulan lowered his head, held up Yi Huaiyu's injured hand and blew gently, a smile on the corner of his lips was not sure whether it was bitter or sweet.
"Are you anxious?"
"Can you not be anxious? Fire and water are ruthless, and what if someone secretly does something evil? Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise I would have lost my wife and lost my army."
Yi Huaiyu concentrated on applying the medicine and answered nonchalantly. It was this unconscious nonchalance that made Sima Tulan's heart feel warm and her watery eyes became softer.
Before the expedition, the news that the second prince hurriedly married General Sima's sister had spread throughout the military camp. Now who doesn't know that Sima Dalan is the future prince's concubine? The tenderness between the two of them is something that a group of soldiers like to hear. After all, there are few women.
It was rare to feel a touch of warmth among the troops who showed up.
The little soldier secretly glanced at Sima Duran's blushing cheeks with a pair of smart eyes. He turned slightly and winked at Ou Suiliang. There was a lot of pride on his young face. Ou Suiliang squeezed out a smile in response and quietly put his hands behind his back.
The palm that no one saw was already scarred and bloody.
