Chapter 4: Dropping 'Sky Fire'

Two frightened sounds sounded at the same time.

"Mother!!"

"Miss!"

One threw herself next to Su's mother, and the other threw herself into Su Nanxing's arms.

Because Gu Huaishu was too big, Su Nanxing even staggered and lay back.

Fortunately, he had some conscience and protected Su Nanxing's head with one of his hands, preventing her from falling too painfully.

Su's mother held Su Xinxing in her arms, patted her back to comfort her, and asked Su Nanxing, "It's really scary in the middle of the night. Nanxing, are you not scared?"

"I'm fine, mother, look over there..."

Su Nanxing pointed her white little hand, and everyone saw that outside the mountains and forests, the entire sky over Dingcheng was burning red, extremely dazzling!
"The fire is so big, is the whole city on fire!?"

Mother Su was once again glad in her heart that her whole family had left Dingcheng.

When she thought of home, she thought of the Su family clan.

They are still in the city.

But my heart only felt uncomfortable for a moment, and then nothing felt strange again.

It’s uncomfortable because many innocent people must have died in such a big fire.

That night, everyone slept uneasily, fearing that something would happen again.

The fire burned for nearly a night, and it was not until dawn that heavy rain fell to extinguish the fire.

Fortunately, the forest where they slept was dense enough, so they didn't have to turn into drowned rats.

The next day.

As soon as Su Nanxing opened her eyes, she saw Su's mother staring outside the forest, and Gu Huaishu, who had been hugging him all night and refused to let go.

Obviously, the person who slept so honestly yesterday became so timid today.

"Nan Xing, wake up. I've made the porridge. You go and wash up. I've also filled the water."

Su Nanxing looked down and saw that Su's mother's shoes were full of mud. She must have gone outside to catch the rain.

"Mother, are you worried that the rain will delay our journey?"

"Yes, the rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier. What if we are caught up by officers and soldiers in three days?"

In order to avoid scaring her, Su Nanxing still didn't tell the truth and they would never get up again.

"Don't worry, mother, this old master also predicted it and specially left raincoats for everyone."

As she spoke, she took out four bamboo hats, coir raincoats, and four pairs of leather boots from the space.

But in Su's mother's view, she just took it out of the brocade bag.

However, what does Su’s mother think? Why does she feel that these things look familiar?

At the beginning, Su Nanxing took away all the things that could be transported, so naturally these things were taken from home.

Fortunately, Su Mansion's family had a big business, and Su's mother had many things to worry about. She really couldn't remember where she had seen her before. After all, it was just rain gear. Maybe she looked similar?

After the group had breakfast, they were about to pack their luggage and set off. Su Nanxing threw everything he didn't use frequently into the space.

He also packed a small amount of food, a pot, a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, and two quilts for Gu Huaishu to carry on his back.

You will definitely meet fellow travelers along the way, and you still have to carry things on your back so as not to arouse suspicion when using things in the space.

To be on the safe side, Su Nanxing took out the ointment from the space and smeared it on the faces of the other three people.

After a while, three unfamiliar faces were pinched out by her.

Even if the officers and soldiers would no longer chase him, the emperor was still alive and well in the distant capital. Once he found out that something happened to the exiled team, he would definitely issue a wanted order for them, so it would be better to disguise himself.

Su Nanxing drew a hideous red scar on his forehead and covered his face with a black cloth.

She believed that no one could take off her mask.

However, thinking that only the old and weak in the team are walking outside with their bags on their backs will definitely attract the attention of interested people.

So she thickened her eyebrows, put on men's clothes, and wrapped the sword she picked up from the officers and soldiers in white cloth with the scabbard on her back.

Mother Su was simply amazed.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that her once cute and cute daughter had turned into a man who seemed to have extremely high martial arts value in an instant.

"Nan Xing, I've wronged you."

She understood her daughter's intentions, and felt a burst of sadness in her heart. She blamed herself for being too soft-hearted and raising a pack of white-eyed wolves, which was why her family ended up like this.

But I heard Su Nanxing chuckle and say: "Mom, when you go out, you give your identity to yourself." Mother Su:? ? ?
Although she didn't quite understand it, she knew the general idea.

Gu Huaishu clapped his hands excitedly, "I like what you said!"

Su Nanxing reached out and hit him on the head, "Okay, okay, you're the only one who talks sweetly."

Su Xinxing's depressed mood finally eased, and she laughed happily along with everyone else.

The atmosphere only relaxed for a while, and the group had to go on their way again.

Since they had already walked through once yesterday, they quickly arrived at the gate of Dingcheng again, and it was only after noon.

Su Nanxing originally didn't want to enter here, but after asking Su's mother, she was told that entering the city was the fastest way to the next city.

Fortunately, Su's mother used to follow Su Yuzhu around and fight, and she only raised her in the house until she became pregnant.

So I am still very familiar with the place of Chu State.

With the attitude of giving it a try, she asked Su's mother if she could quickly find friends who were familiar with her father so that she could find out what his father's current situation was.

Moreover, the city of Ding was burned down, and even if their father rushed back, he would not be able to find them.

Unexpectedly, Su's mother actually said: "You can go to Yuncheng, which is the closest to here. The wife of the prefect of Yuncheng has known me since we were young. Her younger brother is the Minister of Household Affairs in the imperial court. I'll definitely know when she writes a letter." .”

"Okay, let's go there first."

Su Nanxing was very happy because this would be the first city she planned to vacate.

She has already planned to move from city to city from here to the capital.

The entire country would be in disaster anyway, and supplies would be wasted if not moved.

When she finds the Su family army, she will move enough food and supplies to feed the army, and she will rebel and prove this crime!
Her father was a good minister, but she was not.

A fire yesterday turned the dilapidated building into something more like a slum.

Ruins of ruins can be seen everywhere, as if after a great battle.

In places where the rain could not fall, sparks were still burning. The sky above the entire city was filled with gray smoke, and coupled with the dark sky, it was very depressing.

There were constant cries in the city. From the conversations of the people along the way, Su Nanxing had a rough idea of ​​the situation.

It turned out that there was a bolt of lightning yesterday and struck one of the wooden buildings. It was originally placed in a developed city and would not be in great danger.

However, the people in Dingcheng are very poor and the population is huge.

Most of the buildings were made of wood. In order to save space, all the buildings except for necessary streets were connected together and stacked on top of each other, with the new ones covering the old ones. This led to this disaster.

However, among the people, it turned out that this was the anger of God. The emperor misjudged the case of General Su. There must be injustice in this matter!
Su Nanxing was happy to see this situation, it was simply paving the way for her to rebel in the future.

When passing the door of Su's Mansion, she glanced inside. Su's Mansion was considered the best and largest mansion in Ding City, so the fire did not have much impact.

It's just that the boy was nowhere to be seen at this time, and the people who happened to pass by inside were also walking in a hurry.

It seems that the remaining people in Su Mansion have completely dispersed.

The city was in chaos, everyone lost their homes, and the government paid no attention to the matter. There had long been rumors that the prefect was taking money and running away. People's hearts were scattered, and everyone fled here.

Going south is just a poor place.

Going west or east, most of these people had never left the city in their lives, so they had no choice but to follow the large army all the way north to the feet of the emperor.

There were many people on the main road, and many people looked at Su Nanxing and his party frequently.

Perhaps everyone was dressed in rags and had empty hands, but Su Nanxing and the others were still carrying bags.

Even though Su Nanxing had dressed as poorly as possible, she couldn't put all her things into the space and then find a place to take them out when it was time to eat?

What should we do when we sleep?
There are only a few good places to sleep.

Maybe it was the long sword behind Su Nanxing that had a deterrent effect on everyone. At most, everyone only dared to look at it.

Soon they arrived at the North City Gate. The soldiers guarding the gate were long gone, so it was easy for Sunanxing and the others to enter and exit.

After leaving the city, they had no time to rest.

It's going to rain so hard, it's not easy to find a place to sleep.

The official road was crowded with many people.

Su Nanxing and Gu Huaishu walked behind to make a comfortable space for Mother Su and Su Xinxing in front.

After walking for almost four miles, it was getting dark, and Su Nanxing decided to rest in the nearby woods.

At this time, Gu Huaishu felt something strange behind him.
