Medical Brocade

Chapter 131
In the next few days, Qu Ruowen stayed in the mansion to help with the loading of the goods. These things were nothing. As long as someone loaded the goods, she would supervise them. Uncomfortable, the scorching eyes that fell on her at that time made her unable to stay any longer.

The medicinal materials that He Xianzhi wanted required at least five large carriages to carry them, no wonder the preparations had to start three or four days in advance.These medicinal materials are relatively common, and they don't need to be stored in large boxes, but they are wasted. This batch of medicinal materials is directly bundled together and loaded in a large bamboo basket.The two assigned people in the warehouse to pack the medicinal materials and store them in the warehouse, waiting for the next day's loading, and finally delivered directly.

After a busy day, Qu Ruowen felt very tired, thinking that he should be able to rest for a while after loading the car tomorrow, and soon fell asleep.

However, in the middle of the night, the whole mansion seemed to be in a turmoil, and Qu Ruowen couldn't sleep well, thinking it was just a nightmare.

"Miss, something has happened, the house is on fire, get up quickly." Qu Ruowen was so tired that he slept soundly, but the door was closed again, Chun Shao was very anxious outside, but he couldn't push in, Qu Ruowen Asked and didn't open the door, she was so anxious that she was sweating.

"The mansion is on fire, where is it on fire?" Rong Che heard the movement outside, seeing that Qu Ruowen hadn't come out, he asked first, his tone was colder than ever before.

He looked around, but there was no fire around, but thick smoke was rising from the sky in the distance, and the fire seemed to be quite large, and that direction seemed to be...

"The storeroom is on fire. The servant thinks that Miss has been working in the storeroom for the past few days. I'm afraid there will be trouble if it catches on fire, so I quickly want to call Miss." Chun Shao panicked, but it was also for Qu Ruo's greeting.

Rong Che was right when he thought about it, but it was a big deal related to He Xianzhi, if it was ruined, Qu Ruowen would have to bear the blame.

Thinking of this, Rong Che pushed the door, but the door was closed, so he slammed open the door. He didn't know where the strength came from, but with a sudden slam, he knocked the door open, scaring Chun Shao into a daze over there.

"Miss." After Rong Che entered the room, he came directly to the bed, without Rong Che shouting, Qu Ruowen was also awakened.

"What's the matter?" Qu Ruo asked with the vigilance of waking up.

"Miss, the warehouse is on fire, go and have a look." When Rong Che replied, he had already picked up the clothes from the side, pulled Qu Ruowen, and put them on for her.

Qu Ruowen was startled, so she ignored Rong Che's actions and hurriedly put on her shoes.He was about to rush to the place where the accident happened, but when he thought of the fire, he sent a few people out first, took out two bottles of medicine from the medicine box, and ran to the warehouse with Rong Che first, as for Chun Shao, he slowly got along with him. Lan Linglong and the others rushed over.

Her steps were relatively small, and she didn't run fast, but she was anxious.When they got to the back, Rong Che couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only grab Qu Ruowen's arm and run, Qu Ruowen felt that he was being dragged away.

When she arrived, she saw thick smoke billowing from the east side of the warehouse, and it was still spreading to the middle and west side.

The warehouse is made of stones, and it was originally to prevent accidents outside, but the beams inside are still wood, and at most three rooms are separated by stones, so the fire in the east room spreads to the middle and west. However, due to the resistance of the copper and iron walls, it did not spread over immediately, but if the fire was not extinguished in time, then all the three rooms would be destroyed, and the medicinal materials inside were all dried, and they would burn immediately.

Outside the warehouse, someone has already fetched water to put out the fire, and there is a large well in the medicine garden, which was built for daily irrigation.

Many servants and servants in the mansion are already carrying buckets to put out the fire. There is no hope for the warehouse in the east. Now they only hope to control the fire, save the medicinal materials in the middle and west rooms, and minimize the loss.

Inside the warehouse, there will be someone on duty, guarding the warehouse to prevent theft and accidental emergencies. I don't know why the fire started. Since she was woken up by Rong Che, the fire has not burned. It can be seen from the other two rooms that the fire broke out. It was discovered early, but the fire was so large that it could not be extinguished in time.

When Qu Ruowen came to the front of the warehouse, Qu Fengquan and Qu Huanxiang had already rushed to control the fire, and they were directing their servants to put out the fire.

"Do you know the cause of the fire?" Qu Ruo asked Agui who was usually on duty in the warehouse.

"Miss San, I don't know. After the three servants and Guanshi Zheng inspected today, they locked the door. When I got up to go to the latrine in the middle of the night, I saw the warehouse on the east side was on fire, and Guanshi Zheng was still inside." Agui replied , with a terrified look on his face.

"What? Did Guanshi Zheng go in to fight the fire, or did he just stay inside?" Qu Ruowen asked forcefully.

"Guard Zheng drank some wine and slept soundly. When the slave found the fire, he ran to wake him up. He asked the slave to run to find someone to put out the fire, but when he came back, he didn't see any sign of Guanshi Zheng. The slave thought It seems that he should still be inside, but the fire is too big, and the slaves really can’t get in.” Agui looked at the flames sweeping the sky, fearing not to go in.

Guanshi Zheng treated her well. In her memory, she had rescued her and took good care of her. Remembering that he was still inside, Qu Ruowen couldn't be indifferent. Although the fire was huge, she wanted to save people.

Hesitating slightly, Qu Ruowen handed the two bottles of medicine to Agui: "Take it first."

She took off the cloak on her body, tore off a large piece of clothes from the clothes Rong Che was wearing, and wet them with water.

"Miss, what are you doing?" Rong Che was terrified. At this moment, he actually tore off his clothes, which shocked him.

"Save me, I'll change your clothes when you come back." Qu Ruowen asked Agui about the exact location of Steward Zheng, then covered his head with a cloak, covered his mouth and nose with a damp cloth, and rushed into the east. inside the house.

"Miss!" Rong Che exclaimed, he didn't expect Qu Ruowen to save someone, he was startled, and just watched Qu Ruowen disappear into the fire.

No one would have thought that Qu Ruowen, a dignified young lady, would risk her life to save a servant.

"Hurry up and go in and save people!" Seeing Qu Ruowen, Qu Huanxiang yelled at the boys who were fighting the fire like moths flying towards the fire.

"Continue to put out the fire." Qu Fengquan stopped him. He was not as indecisive as Qu Huanxiang. He lost the entire warehouse for one person. He stopped the servant who was ordered by Qu Huanxiang.

Qu Fengquan is the head of the family, so everyone naturally listens to him.

"Father, Ruowen is still inside!" Qu Huanxiang argued, but unfortunately, Qu Fengquan pretended not to hear it, and only had to keep the warehouse in his eyes.

After hearing this, Rong Che knew that asking for help was hopeless, and told Agui and the others to find a doctor first, then poured a bucket of water on himself, and rushed into the fire after chasing Qu Ruowen's figure.

Inside the warehouse on the east side, the fire was raging and smoke billowed. After Qu Ruowen entered, he couldn't find his way at all. A beam had already collapsed on the ground, laying across the house.

According to A Gui, Steward Zheng should be in the northeast corner of the room, and there is a bed over there for people to rest when they are on duty.

Fortunately, he had inspected the warehouse and knew the direction of Zheng Zheng, so Qu Ruowen quickly found the northeast corner.

"Save...life..." Before he could finish, Qu Ruowen could hear intermittent cries for help.

Qu Ruowen heard that it was Guanshi Zheng's voice, and he was still inside, and he could still shout, which meant he was still alive.

Qu Ruowen carefully discerned the direction and groped carefully.

Guanshi Zheng was lying there, his clothes were almost on fire, and his limbs could move slightly, but he seemed unable to get up.

Qu Ruowen ran over and wiped off Guanshi Zheng's clothes with the cloak on his body. Looking carefully, Guanshi Zheng's exposed arms and face were burned. Less smoke and dust, the sound is very weak.Qu Ruowen covered Guanshi Zheng's nose with the wet cloth he was covering to reduce the smoke he breathed in and avoid excessive inhalation of smoke, but he suffered from respiratory failure.

Manager Zheng was still conscious, and things were better than expected. However, she was glad that everything was better than expected, but she didn't know that she encountered more serious problems.

She was about to take Guanshi Zheng out, but found that she couldn't help him.

Guanshi Zheng was a little fat, and Qu Ruowen didn't have enough arm strength, she didn't have the strength to lift someone up at all, so she felt misguided, she had to give up on her own powerlessness after finally seeing someone.

"Miss—" Seeing that the fire was getting more and more intense, just when Qu Ruowen was hesitating whether to give up, there was a shout. Qu Ruowen was overjoyed, and replied, attracting Rong Che to come over.

"Ah Che, come and help me." Seeing that there was a savior, Qu Ruowen shouted desperately, interrupting her plan to give up saving people.

Under Qu Ruowen's call, Rong Che came over and helped Guanshi Zheng together with her. The strength of the two of them naturally got twice the result with half the effort. They supported Guanshi Zheng and walked out step by step.

I don't know if the firefighting operations outside have any effect. The fire stayed at this intensity and didn't intensify. Qu Ruowen and Rong Che walked smoothly, but the journey was not enough.The thick smoke inside was very heavy, choking people very uncomfortable. Qu Ruowen gave Guanshi Zheng the wet cloth, and every step was difficult. Rong Che was fine, his clothes were soaked, and sometimes he could cover his nose with his sleeve to breathe. Qu Ruowen Wen can only pray that he can last long enough to bring Guanshi Zheng out.

But with Rong Che's body and physical strength, she couldn't place too much hope on it.

"Ache, you have to persevere. If it doesn't work, you go out first and ask other people to come in and help." Qu Ruowen couldn't force others, and could only prepare for the worst.

Rong Che nodded with difficulty breathing, couldn't say a word, coughed all the way, but his upright body didn't retreat in any way.

The journey back was a bit more difficult than when I came in. On the one hand, my skin felt like it was burning, and my hair felt like it was burning.
