At this time, the wind happened to blow again. The wind helped the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind. In an instant, most of the lantern market was ignited, which reflected the blood red in the night sky and also reflected the red eyes of the emperor on the Five Phoenix Tower.
"All nations are guilty, and I am the one to blame." Only then did Zhu Di wake up from his shock and anger. There were not many things that the emperor was afraid of. Only the visions of heaven and earth made him feel deeply afraid. Because the emperor was ordered by the sky,
Floods, fires, locust plagues, earthquakes and plagues were all regarded as warnings from God. Zhu Di didn't believe this at first, but an incident that happened a few years ago gave him nightmares one after another, and the dragon's body was deteriorating, so he gradually became superstitious.
To Emperor Yongle, the fire in front of him was a warning from the King of Heaven. To the people who were in chaos on the imperial street, it was like falling into hell. Boundless fear spread quickly, and people ran around like headless flies, colliding with each other.
Squeezing and trampling countless people, the entire imperial street was filled with the sounds of mothers and fathers calling for their children, wives looking for their husbands, screams and pain...
"Officer, let me down quickly." Lin Qing'er was still on Wang Xian's back. She was frightened and said in silence, "I will drag you down."
"Shut up," Wang Xian cursed, and instead tied the two of them tightly with a belt, "If we die together, we will die together."
"Officer..." Lin Qing'er buried her head deeply on his shoulder, and the happiness of living and dying together diluted her fear a lot.
But Wang Xian didn't want to die, let alone let Lin Qing'er die. He tied Sister Lin tightly on his back just to escape. After experiencing so many life and death moments, he could already calmly assess the situation at all times. He knew that the biggest
The threat does not come from fire, but from the panic of the crowd - the vastness of Yuqian Street is actually the best place to take refuge. The fire is raging and looks very scary, but it is just a mountain of lights connected to each other.
Being ignited, he actually has no ability to engulf the crowd. But fear spreads like a tide, and people have lost the ability to think. Even if there is a calm person like him, he must follow the panic of the crowd, otherwise you will be free to use martial arts.
No matter how high you are, you will be knocked to the ground and trampled into meat patties...
But drifting with the crowd is also extremely dangerous. As long as someone in front accidentally falls, they will stumble. The people behind will see it in advance, but there are human walls in all directions, and there is no way to avoid it.
Press on...
Being in the crowd was extremely dangerous. Wang Xian was anxious. While resisting the pressure from all directions, he tried his best to think of a way. But at this time, he felt that his manpower was so small that there was no way... he could only remain extremely vigilant and pray that the people in front would not stop him.
He fell. At this time, he saw the crowd splitting to both sides. It turned out that a brightly lit lantern mountain stood in front of him. The lantern mountain was more than three feet high, and the underground shelves were naturally densely packed. People were so busy running for their lives that they didn't care about their feet. There were people on both sides.
Someone tripped and fell. People behind him pressed on him one after another.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Xian was also squeezed in front of Dengshan Mountain. He had to make a decision immediately, whether to go left or right. In the end, Wang Xian's choice was...down. He rolled around like a lazy donkey, carrying Lin Qing'er on his back.
He rolled to the bottom of the shelf. Others thought he had fallen down, but no one expected that he would dare to crawl under the mountain... Even if some people expected it, they would not dare to follow him. Because people haven't realized it yet.
Their biggest enemy is not fire, but themselves.
People outside panicked and ran for their lives, but Wang Xian untied his belt and let Lin Qing'er lie on the ground side by side with him to take a breath. Carrying Lin Qing'er was not tiring, but he was so nervous just now that he was scared out of his mind.
Sweating profusely
"Grandma..." Wang Xiangang wanted to curse, but he suppressed the curse word and said, "You can get into a fire even if you go out to watch the lanterns."
"Sir, will this lantern mountain catch on fire?" Lin Qing'er asked in a low voice while carefully wiping his sweat with her sleeves.
"I can't tell." Wang Xian looked at the swaying Dengshan Mountain that was squeezed by the crowd. The hundreds of lanterns hanging on it were shaking to the west. The oil lamps inside could fall over at any time, igniting the silk and bamboo strips.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It's nothing, but if I keep wandering around, I'm going to get caught."
"Then what should we do?" Although Lin Qing'er is willing to live and die with her husband, she doesn't want to die, let alone Wang Xian.
"Don't worry, let me take a look..." Wang Xian looked around. Although there was only about a foot of space under the lamp mountain, through the densely packed bamboo poles, he could see that the distance above was very large, forming a huge hollow.
. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We're just going to stay here. It doesn't matter even if the lantern mountain really burns down... Okay, it's already burning..." With the unremitting efforts of the crowd outside, the lanterns were finally covered with lanterns.
The oil lamp inside ignited and turned into a fireball. The crowd's panic suddenly increased several times. They desperately wanted to leave this dangerous lamp mountain, but they didn't know how many people were trampled on.
Lin Qing'er was immediately frightened and hugged Wang Xian tightly. Wang Xian quickly took off her coat, spread it on the ground, then placed his wife with a puzzled look on it, and pressed her body tightly on top of her... This was originally very charming.
Lin Qing'er's actions made Lin Qing'er burst into tears, and said to her heart, Officer, why are you doing this? If you die, how can I live alone?
Wang Xian put his big cloak on his back again, covering the two of them tightly, and said with a smile: "Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in the sky, so just keep it out of sight."
At this time, the moso bamboo poles on which the lanterns were hung were also ignited, and then ignited more palace lanterns, and then ignited more moso bamboos. The lantern mountain was about to turn into a sea of fire. Wang Xian and Lin Qing'er were lying on the ground.
On the ground, I didn't feel cold at all. Instead, I was so hot that I was sweating...
"Official," Lin Qing'er thought she was doomed and hugged Wang Xian and cried: "After we are burned to death, will people still recognize that we are a couple?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You won't be burned to death." Although Wang Xian was a little unsure, he decided to believe in science.
"Woo hoo, it's time. The official doesn't need to comfort me anymore," Lin Qing'er cried, "It's my blessing to be able to live and die with the official. It's just that I didn't give the official a child. Really.
What a pity. Fortunately, I have sister Baoyin..."
"Uh." Wang Xian suddenly froze and said, "You know everything?"
"It's already here, do you still want to hide it from me?" Lin Qing'er hit his mouth and said sadly: "If I don't even know what my husband is doing outside, this wife has failed too much.
.”
"No, this..." Wang Xian didn't expect that she already knew, and couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Qing'er, listen to me, I didn't want to hide anything from you, isn't it a holiday today, and we have just reunited...
I planned to tell you after the festival."
"Woo..." Unexpectedly, Lin Qing'er cried even more sadly, whimpering: "The officials actually regard me as that kind of jealous and vicious woman. We have a child in our family, and it's too late for me to be happy.
, how could there be any unhappiness?" In this era, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, all the children are under the name of the head wife.
"Haha, that's not what I meant..." That's what Wang Xian meant. He held his wife's hair and said, "I just want to spend time with Qing'er."
"Officer..." Lin Qing'er raised her head and looked at him with tearful eyes: "Isn't Qing'er very useless?"
"..." Wang Xian felt depressed, and she really cared about it. He quickly tried to comfort his wife and said, "This kind of thing is just a matter of chance. If you encounter trouble, you can handle it once. If you are unlucky, you may never encounter it. But it doesn't matter.
, touch it a few more times, and you will always encounter it." After that, he pretended to be relaxed and pinched his wife's buttocks and said: "This ass and balls are definitely fertile."
Lin Qing'er's heart was aroused by her husband's gossip, and then she said heartbrokenly: "But we have no chance to meet again."
"Don't worry, there is definitely a chance." Wang Xian said with confidence.
"Then we made an appointment, okay? We don't want to drink Meng Po soup when we cross the Naihe Bridge, okay?" Lin Qing'er looked at him directly, for fear that she would forget it in the underworld.
"Hehehe..." Wang Xian exposed his wife's slender waist and laughed out loud, "I never thought that my ice-snow and smart Qing'er would also be confused sometimes."
"Are you confused?" Lin Qing'er had just been immersed in the separation of life and death and ignored the surrounding situation. Now she asked Wang Xian to be more careful. She immediately noticed something strange and suddenly said: "Yes, it's all like this.
It’s been so long, why aren’t we dead yet?”
"I can't die." Wang Xian smiled and lifted the big cloak covering his head. Lin Qing'er's eyes suddenly opened up. She saw that the original blazing fire on Dengshan Mountain had been basically extinguished. The upper layer of Dengshan Mountain had been burned to ashes, but the bottom layer
The area three feet below the ground is basically intact, and you can still see the black and red embers on the half-sections of the bamboo tubes. When blown by the wind, they will make crackling sounds from time to time, and strings of dark sparks will appear...
"Official, official, is this the blessing of the Buddha?" Lin Qing'er couldn't believe her eyes. How could such a fierce fire stop when it reached the base? If her husband hadn't been so sure before, she would have really wanted to do it completely
He became a follower of Buddha. "How do the officials know that the fire will not burn down?"
"Haha..." Wang Xian also smiled happily. He was also thanking, but not believing in God, but thanking the elementary school science teacher in his previous life. Thanking her for letting him know that when the flame is burning, because of
The basic nature of thermal expansion and contraction is that air must produce convection, so the overall flame is upward, and the temperature at the bottom is much lower than the upper part, only slightly higher than normal temperature. Although the fire in Dengshan is large, it burns from the top
, it is inherently difficult to burn downwards. Moreover, the entire Dengshan Mountain is hollow, and there will not be many burning things falling down to ignite the base. Therefore, after Wang Xian saw the shape of the Dengshan Mountain, he judged that there was a fire shelter under the base.
A great place.
However, the joy and pride on Wang Xian's face only flashed away, because he heard the sounds of mourning everywhere outside...
