My Queen Pluto is dead

Chapter 40 Thunder and Lightning Startled the Horse
Because of the thunder and lightning, many horses were startled. Recently, people had to tie the horses to the abandoned pillars of the manor in the rain.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night.

"What should we do if this continues? Chen'er, are you afraid? I'm so scared." Wan Fangfang hugged Xingchen's arm with a headache.

It was so dark outside, and these lightning bolts were scary, what's more, they had nothing to eat, no place to sleep, and she was starting to feel cold.

"A little bit scared." Xing Chen was also scared.Maybe girls are naturally afraid of such weather.

In fact, she wanted to go back to the carriage, but the accompanying general said that thunderstorms can easily startle horses, so everyone should be together.

"I'm so cold. Can you send someone to get clothes in the carriage?" Lin Chun'er couldn't help asking the accompanying general.

This damn weather, it's extremely hot during the day, and now it's raining like this, and it's getting cold all of a sudden.

"It's raining so heavily. Once the carriage is opened, it will be completely wet inside. What will you do tomorrow? Besides, your clothes will be completely wet after you take them over. Wait a little longer." General Qi didn't want everyone to return to the carriage, but for To be safe, we still have to wait for the rain to lighten up.

Not to mention, this God is also very stubborn with them. After the thunder and lightning, the ghostly weather actually started to rain hailstones, hitting the top of their heads.The horses not far away neighed wildly, and some even broke their reins and ran away.

Now it's really a shame, it's not working.General Qi didn't dare to order anyone to chase the horse, for fear that there would be another problem here.

It's a trivial matter to lose something. If something happens to Xiu Nu, then his head may be lost.

"It's so cold..." More and more people began to shiver.

Wan Fangfang and the weaker Ke Lin were so cold that their mouths were livid.

Going on like this is not an option, Xing Chen stood up.

"General Qi, I'll go to the carriage to get something. I'm not a show girl, it's fine." Xing Chen knew what General Qi was thinking, so before he could answer, he had already gone out in the rain and hail.

Everyone looked at her with different thoughts!
"Be careful!" Mr. Ke yelled loudly, it was too dark, and he was afraid that the girl would not see her.

"Idiot!" Man Tianrui whispered in the crowd.

Wan Fangfang also stood up. She wanted to help Chen'er, but she fell when she reached the steps of the corridor, which was really embarrassing.

Xingchen moved quickly, and quickly found her carriage. She tore off a thin blanket, wrapped some clothes and cushions for the people in the carriage, and specially packed some food from the space. Yes, after putting a protective barrier around her body, she seemed to be walking slowly towards the place where the crowd gathered.

She didn't remove the protective barrier until she was near the corridor, and the raindrops fell on her body at the right time.

"Chen'er, thank you." Ke Lin put on her clothes, took a cushion and sat down.

Wan Fangfang was very depressed. Instead of helping, she fell and hurt herself.

"Put on your clothes first!" Xing Chen gave them the things of the people in the same carriage.

Lin Dongqing and Lin Chun'er were surprised that Murong Xingchen even helped them get clothes and mats.

When the other beautiful girls saw that they had clothes, some were envious and jealous.

What made them even more jealous was that there was a lot of food in Murong Xingchen's big bag, even though it was just pastries and fruits, it was better than what they didn't have.

Xingchen gave Man Tianrui the only thin blanket, and gave her a big bag of food.

The rest she shared with Mr. Ke and the others, and the rest were eaten by the people sitting next to them.

"General Qi, we also want clothes, it's too cold." More beautiful women in the crowd began to shout about the cold.

General Qi saw that Murong Xingchen could come back safely, so he ordered people to go to the carriage to fetch things for these beautiful girls.

Unexpectedly, although many people went there, they either fell or brought back a pile of wet clothes, which were uncomfortable to wear.

"Miss Murong, can you help me get something? I'm not in good health, and it's too cold now." A beautiful girl who looked a little like a sick Xi Shi looked at Xingchen pleadingly, she was afraid that she would So freezing to death.

Xingchen glanced at her, and gave her a thick dress he was wearing, "Put on mine first. I don't know your carriage, it's too dark to see clearly. And I'm not the same as the people in your carriage. It’s too familiar, I took the wrong things, or something is missing, and I can’t explain clearly. I’m really sorry!”

Man Tianrui smiled slightly, this girl is not stupid, she also knows how to reject people.

The sick Xishi Tang Mo'er smiled and nodded gratefully.

What Murong Xingchen said is right, the people in their carriage are not fuel-efficient, and it is really hard to tell if something is missing.Therefore, I am even more grateful to Xingchen, she actually gave her own clothes to herself.

"Stupid girl, come here. Let's cover it together!" Man Tianrui stood up, pulled the star who was separated from her to her side, and divided the thin blanket into half for her.

Xingchen smiled sweetly, and tilted her head on her body.

She has always known that Sister Tianrui has always been a cold-hearted person.

Man Tianrui patted her forehead lightly, but did not push her away.

An hour later, their torches were extinguished, and the surroundings were completely dark. Because they couldn't sleep, everyone was terrified, and many beautiful girls were already crying.

In the dark night, this cry sounded even more frightening, Xing Chen frowned and sat up straight.

Man Tianrui roared in displeasure: "Shut up whatever you cry at night."

"That's right, don't cry, it's scary." Someone began to echo.

Those who were crying tried hard to hold back their tears, not letting themselves make a sound.

General Qi was still trying to light the fire, but it didn't work.

"General Qi, give me a torch to try." Xing Chen stood up and took the torch handed over by General Qi.

She turned slightly, with her back against the wind, and with a slight movement of her fingers, a string of pure spiritual fire quickly lit the torch.

After three years of domestication, the destructive fire in her body has evolved into a spiritual fire, and she can freely switch between the spiritual fire and the destructive fire as she pleases.

General Qi is very grateful, this little girl helped him a lot tonight.

With the firelight, everyone's emotions were under control, and there was no such shrill cry anymore.

The fire seemed to have touched the heavens, the heavy rain in the sky stopped as soon as it was said, the hail stopped, the wind stopped, and the night was quiet.

General Qi ordered his men to check the carriages with torches, and found that most of the carriages were already wet, and some salute cars were filled with boxes of water. Everyone began to pack things in the dark.

Xingchen and the others' car was the cleanest and driest car, because Xingchen used spiritual fire to drive away the moisture in the car before getting on the car, and she quietly dried the wet curtains.

The six of them fell asleep in their seats as soon as they got into the car.

In the early morning of the next day, someone delivered cold-dispelling soup to each carriage early in the morning.

Different from the comfort of Xingchen and others, 90.00% of the people in the car have heavy dark circles, and their faces are haggard and embarrassed.

Xingchen got out of the carriage, and seeing Mr. Ke and General Qi sitting on the side worrying, she thought that things might be a little troublesome.

"Girl Chen, wake up!" Mr. Ke waved to her, signaling her to go over.

"Well. Teacher, is something wrong?"

"The bridge over the Yicheng Boundary River ahead has collapsed, the path is also flooded, and the carriage can no longer walk. I'm afraid we will stay here for a few days." Mr. Ke deeply felt that this trip was too much ordeal. Both storm and hail met them.

General Qi is also very irritable, he has already repaired the book for Yicheng prefect, hoping to get their help as soon as possible.

"If that's the case, then we need to find a place to settle down as soon as possible." Xing Chen turned his head and looked around, there were beautiful women with sad faces everywhere.Most of them have never experienced hardships. After going through last night, I am afraid that many people will not be able to bear it.

"I've already asked someone to clean up the manor, planning for the worst. Ms. Murong can also go and have a look. If there is a suitable place, I can settle it first." General Qi has a good impression of Murong Xingchen, so he is willing In a difficult situation, give her convenience first.

"Thank you. I'll call them and go take a look now." Xing Chen decided to listen to General Qi and go take a look first.

She could predict that there should be a lot of people wanting to stay in that corridor tonight, so they'd better find another place.

She went back to the carriage and told her companions what General Qi meant, and Wan Fangfang said that she would go with Xingchen.

"Your foot is hurt, you should rest in the car. Chen'er and I will go." Ke Lin followed Xing Chen out of the car.

"I'll go too!" Meng Chiyu also got out of the car, showing great perseverance.

Lin Dongqing and Lin Chun'er refused to admit defeat, got out of the car, and followed them to the depths of the manor.

It was still early, and most people were still busy tidying up their wet things, and had no time to find a place, so apart from the officers and soldiers in the depths of the manor, there were only Xing Chen and the others.

This manor is really big. Most of the burned houses are rubble, black ash is all over the ground, and weeds have grown on them.

The 30 people sent by General Qi only cleaned up a small area in the morning and built a gambling wall, saying that they wanted to set up a simple kitchen here to cook for everyone.

"How about over there? The four walls are still there, and it's the best-preserved house in the manor." Meng Chiyu pointed to a row of houses in the side courtyard ahead.

"Go and have a look!" Although Lin Chun'er didn't want to live in such a ghostly place, she also felt that it looked like the best place besides the corridor.

When they got closer, they found that the houses here were full of water because of the high threshold, and they could raise fish.

"Hey, let's go!" Ke Lin walked forward again, and found that the entire row of houses was flooded, and was about to leave depressed.

"It's no wonder that General Qi didn't choose this place." Lin Chun'er curled her lips too. They must be the most unlucky girls in history.

"Forget it, let's look for a cleaner place." Meng Chiyu didn't want to go back and squeeze in that small car.Although the car was comfortable, it was still very crowded when all six of them were lying together, and they were basically unable to move.

"Wait." Xing Chen walked not far away, picked up a thick wooden stick and walked over.

"Get out of the way." Xingchen tied her skirt to her waist, revealing a pair of fair legs, and then the whole person entered the room that formed a small pond.

Lin Chun'er wanted to say that she was not ashamed at such a young age, but when she saw Murong Xingchen holding a wooden stick, she pried open the high threshold, and the water in the room poured down...

In order to let the water flow faster, she drew a small ditch with a wooden stick at the entrance of the house, and soon, the water in the whole room flowed out, revealing the original appearance of the house.

Not to mention, the house is much cleaner than expected, and there is a row of stone pavements in the house, which were not destroyed by the fire because of material problems.Presumably this is the servant's room of the original manor.
