At midnight, everything was silent. People in Huocheng fell into the dreamy atmosphere early, and under the influence of sleeping pills, they slept sweeter than ever before.
Yes, over the past year or so, Gu Qiancheng has not only found routes, stored food, but also saved some medicinal herbs.
The people in Huo City didn't know much about medicine, and they weren't that strict about herbal medicines. When Gu Qiancheng was collecting medicines, he secretly kept some of them. After saving for several months, he finally managed to save enough sleeping pills to use them when no one was prepared.
The powder is sprinkled on the water source.
This herb is harmless to the human body and will only make people sleep soundly. In addition to being in good spirits when they wake up the next day, it has no side effects at all. Unless you are a very thoughtful person, you will never notice it.
While everyone in the village was sleeping, Gu Qiancheng quietly stood up and took down the dry food hidden on the roof. It was said to be dry food, but it was actually some dried fruits, dried meat and hay.
Gu Qiancheng had limited access to food, so he could only look for these miscellaneous things that could fill his stomach.
After saving for several months, she only managed to save a small amount. Gu Qiancheng planned to eat less and it would last for seven or eight days. As for after seven or eight days, Gu Qiancheng would not care about it, and she could not control it.
Carrying the baggage on his back, Gu Qiancheng opened the door and walked out without hesitation into the dark night.
She knows that there are good people in Huo City, and she knows that the children she teaches are innocent and beautiful, but none of these can keep her. Not to mention that Huo City is not good, no matter how good it is, it is not her home. She must leave here and go back.
to her family.
Since he had done a good job before, Gu Qiancheng walked out of the village, walked into the woods under the moonlight, and walked all the way north.
Combining her observations with the information she heard from the children, the flame fruit was planted in the north. If she wanted to get the flame fruit, she could only go north.
She didn't care whether she could go out to the north, but she had to get the flame fruit before she could go out.
The road was difficult to travel at night, and it was especially dangerous to enter the woods at night, but Gu Qiancheng couldn't care about this. If she didn't go further when it was dark, she wouldn't be able to get out when people in the village woke up at dawn.
Based on his previous experience of walking from the capital to the northwest with Tang Wanjin, Gu Qiancheng's journey went quite smoothly, without disturbing the animals in the forest at all, and without leaving too obvious traces.
Worried that people from Huo City would come after dawn, Gu Qiancheng didn't dare to stop even if he couldn't see the road. He walked very fast all the way, wishing he could get out of Huo City before dawn.
Of course, this is impossible. If we could get out of the Fire City in one night, the people in the Fire City would not be trapped here forever.
Gu Qiancheng, who was walking silently in the woods, didn't know that when she left the village, a young man had been standing in the dark, watching her leave. After she left, he lit a fire to live in the school with her.
The place burned!
"It's on fire, it's on fire!" The fire was very fast, and the people in Huocheng were sleeping soundly. Only when the fire reached the sky did they realize that the yard where Gu Qiancheng lived was on fire.
The whole village tried their best to save them, but the fire was too big and they couldn't turn back. They could only watch the school being burned to ashes by the fire. As for the people in the fire?
When the people in the village came out, the fire was already very strong. They didn't hear the cry for help at all, and everyone believed that Gu Qiancheng died inside.
Of course, it was not that no one thought that Gu Qiancheng would use the fire to escape. But two days later, the fire was extinguished, and they found a charred body in the fire. The body shape was almost the same as that of Gu Qiancheng.
"Why did Mr. Gu die?"
"It was all us. We failed to take good care of Mr. Gu and let Gu Qiancheng be burned alive."
"It's so tragic. Mr. Gu died so tragically."
…
Seeing the charred corpse, the people in the village blamed themselves very much, thinking that they were not alert enough and did not discover the fire as soon as it broke out, so that Gu Qiancheng was burned alive.
When the whole village was sad that the only literate teacher in their village had died and no one would be able to teach the children in the village, there was only one young man standing in the crowd with an expressionless face, looking into the distance with a smile in his eyes:
Sir, I know you don't want to stay here. I wish you a safe journey.
Gu Qiancheng walked in the woods for three days and saw no one catching up with him. Gao Xuan's heart finally dropped.
"It looks like they won't come here." Gu Qiancheng sat on a big tree, chewing on cold dried meat.
The further north you go, the fewer prey there are in the forest. No matter how good you are, Gu Qiancheng can only eat dry food to satisfy his hunger, and silently pray to find the flame fruit as soon as possible, and then find a way out, leave the Fire City, and return to Qin Dynasty.
Ji Yan and Long Bao's side.
For four years, she missed her son and her son's father, very much, very much...
At the same time, Jing Yan, who traveled day and night, finally arrived at Huohuo Mountain.
Nearly four years have passed, and the volcano has long since calmed down. Only the layers of rusty red stones on the ground silently tell the world what happened here.
"It's so hot!" The volcano erupted four years ago. Although the fire slurry has cooled down now, the temperature around the volcano is much higher than four years ago. Even if Jing Yan's internal strength is not low, he cannot withstand the sweltering heat.
After taking a deep gulp of water, Jing Yan took out the map he had copied in advance, compared the direction of the volcano, and looked for the entrance.
"Look at the map. The entrance to Fire City should be at the foot of the volcano. Walk through the volcano." Jing Yan compared the map for a long time and finally found the place, and this place is where the nine gates are.
There were still rows of numbers on the door. Jing Yan took a look at it, then took out a worn-out "Yi Guo Zhi" to compare it, and successfully opened the first door.
That's right, the method of opening the door is written in "Yi Guo Zhi", and there is no need to use human calculations at all.
The further inside, the temperature got higher. Jing Yan was so hot that his exposed skin was hot and ulcerated. However, Jing Yan opened the nine doors one by one without even frowning.
When he reached the ninth door, Jing Yan's clothes already smelled of burning, and there was also a faint smell of meat.
"If this keeps up, I will be roasted." Jing Yan took pleasure in the pain, laughed at himself, and followed the instructions in "Yi Guo Zhi" to successfully pass through the Bagua Gate and arrive inside the volcano.
I don't know when all the fire slurry in the volcano disappeared, and of course the rows of green trees disappeared. It was just an ordinary wasteland. If the temperature hadn't been higher than other places, this would have been an ordinary wasteland. It was completely
Of no value.
"You can find it by walking through this wasteland." Jing Yan took another look to confirm that he was not going wrong, put away "The Chronicles of the Yi Kingdom" and ran forward desperately.
There was no way. It was too hot in here. Staying for a moment longer would be torture. He didn't want to think about anything now. He just wanted to find Gu Qiancheng quickly. If he couldn't find Gu Qiancheng, he could find Huocheng. In short, no matter what
Let him find one, otherwise he will not give up...
