She suddenly thought of something.
It was recorded in the Mind Control Technique that if one mastered it, they could easily hypnotize a group.
Furthermore, the Soul-Sucking Bell was an auxiliary tool. With it, it would be easier to blur one's own imagination.
She felt that Aunt Fang must have met the culprit.
If not for Aunt Fang's strong willpower and focus, she would have forgotten about the culprit.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
The Second Young Madam finally woke up. However, the moment she opened her eyes, she looked around in confusion.
"What, what happened to me?"
Hearing her voice, Fang Rao immediately asked, "Second Sister-in-law, do you remember what happened?"
The second young mistress shook her head.
Then, she suddenly thought of something, and her face instantly turned pale.
She grabbed Fang Rao's hand and warned her in a hoarse voice, "Go! Someone is trying to kill you! "
Fang Rao smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"I know, but it's too late. I'm sorry, Second Sister-in-law. I'm sorry. Please don't let hatred torment you, seeing that we're both going to die here. "
Two streams of tears flowed from the corner of the second young mistress's eyes.
She looked at the mummy on the chair beside her and couldn't control herself anymore. She broke down and cried out in despair.
It was as if she wanted her tears to take away the grief of losing her beloved daughter.
Fang Rao's eyes were wet as well. This feeling was unbearable. She had suffered in hell before.
In the midst of their cries, the two of them poured out their misery.
Lin Mengya went out for a walk.
She thought that the fire would spread quickly, but strangely, the surrounding houses were burning very slowly.
The air was filled with smoke and the smell of burning things. It was hard for her sensitive sense of smell to accept.
She carefully observed the situation in the courtyard and found that the thing that stopped the fire from spreading was the outermost layer of the walls and houses.
She saw that the flames roasted the material for a long time, but the outer layer was only charred black and did not ignite.
"Come out and do me a favor. Scrape the outermost layer of paint off the house."
The Jackdaw Guards immediately got to work.
But what surprised them was that even though they used all their strength to scrape the outer layer of the ordinary sandstone, it didn't budge at all.
"Miss, what the hell is this thing? Why is it so hard?" the captain asked as he was on the verge of breaking down.
Not to mention their physical strength, the weapons in their hands were all specially made. They were definitely sharper and harder than ordinary swords.
Unfortunately, after scraping and hacking for a long time, other than a few shallow marks, their weapons were all bent. They couldn't do anything to the wall.
It was infuriating!
Lin Mengya asked them to stop and reached out to touch it.
She didn't know the difference between the building materials, so she knocked on it and was surprised to find that the wall seemed to be hollow.
She thought for a moment, then suddenly borrowed a weapon from one of them and ran into the house.
Since it didn't work outside, why not try inside?
However, it turned out that the builders were not fools.
Apart from a thin layer of paint, the inside was also indestructible.
Seeing this, the big guys didn't believe it and knocked everywhere.
Unfortunately, they were poor.
The inside of the wall was almost scraped off, but the house was still stable.
Fang Rao helped the second young mistress out. She was dumbfounded when she saw the house.
"Are you trying to demolish the house?"
She could understand how they felt. She thought that they were venting their anger in the face of death.
She looked down and sighed. She said in a low voice apologetically, "If only I had found out earlier. Sigh, I'm the one who dragged you down."
She felt very guilty.
These children were going to die because of her at such a young age.
When she looked up again, she looked at the group of young people with an indulgent look in her eyes.
Let them demolish it, as long as they were happy.
Lin Mengya didn't know about Aunt Fang's complicated feelings. In fact, she just wanted to figure out the secret of the wall.
"Aunt Fang, how did you build this wall? Why is it so hard?" Lin Mengya asked.
Fang Rao hadn't prepared herself yet, so she didn't want to dispel the children's enthusiasm.
"Oh, it was passed down from our ancestors. You can demolish it as you like."
"I want to demolish it, but I have to be able to move it."
She said expressionlessly. Then, she waved a thick steel knife and slashed it at the wall.
Sparks flew in an instant. The owner of the knife almost died of heartache.
Lin Mengya looked at the wound of the knife helplessly. Then, she looked at Aunt Fang with tears in her eyes.
Fang Rao was a little confused, but she didn't know the secret.
She even suggested kindly, "Why don't you try other places? Maybe this is the only one that's harder."
Lin Mengya didn't say anything and just pulled Aunt Fang out.
In the courtyard, the tall and burly guards were exerting their full strength.
Unfortunately, the wall was still strong even though their faces were red. The faint white marks on it seemed to be mocking their incompetence.
"This …"
Fang Rao didn't expect this.
"This wall is not only hard, but it can also block the fire. The reason why we haven't been burned to death is because of this wall. "
As she spoke, she pointed out to Aunt Fang the situation of the fire that was being held back outside.
Aunt Fang's heart skipped a beat, and she was instantly filled with hope.
"It's a pity that the gate is blocked. My men went to check it out and found that the fire was the strongest there. If I'm not wrong, the other party probably knew that the wall here is not flammable. "
No matter how hard the walls were, there would come a time when they could not withstand the roasting of the raging fire.
When that happened, they would have no way to survive.
"But even I don't know the secret of the wall. Who could have done it?" Fang Rao felt a chill in her heart.
Just as Lin Mengya was thinking, she suddenly heard a crackling sound coming from the southwest corner of the wall.
Finally, the wall couldn't take it anymore and collapsed!
"Hurry, everyone, go back inside!" Lin Mengya said awkwardly.
The Jackdaw Guards immediately protected them as they walked inside. Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya's eyes were blinded.
"Did someone not get their weapon back?" she asked in a low voice.
But everyone shook their heads. Although the blade was bent, it could still be used after some sharpening.
Lin Mengya suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at the collapsed wall.
If she was not wrong, the thing that had blinded her should be there.
"Miss Gong, it's dangerous!"
Fang Rao warned her anxiously when she saw her walking towards the broken wall.
But Lin Mengya couldn't care less about that now.
The broken wall in the southwest corner wasn't big, and because there weren't many flammable materials here, the fire didn't spread in.
Instead, she saw a faint metallic luster on the cracks in the wall that had already collapsed from the heat.
"Look, what is that?" she asked.
The captain who was in charge of protecting her poked it with his weapon and said in a strange tone, "It looks like a piece of iron. But the sound doesn't sound right. If it was an ordinary piece of iron, it would have been charred by the fire. "
That's right.
If it was an ordinary metal, even if it was copper, iron, or alloy with a high melting point, it wouldn't be able to maintain such a luster in such a big fire.
She was even more curious now.
"Can you draw out a piece for me to see?"
The captain immediately did as he was told.
By the time they finally managed to hook out a complete piece of iron, the weapons in their hands had almost become soldering irons and were almost deformed by the heat.
But in stark contrast, there was a silver-white luster of the metal.
This thing was so strange. Lin Mengya even asked Xiaoyao to test the temperature. She found that after burning it for a long time, the temperature of the metal was only about two degrees Celsius.
This was so amazing!
"See if you can cut it open." She stepped aside and said to the captain.
The captain, who had probably always been depressed about tearing down the wall, used all his strength to cut the metal.
With a crisp sound, his pitiful saber actually broke into two pieces!
The captain looked at his beloved saber and felt that he might as well rush into the fire.
There was no way out!
But when Lin Mengya saw this, she broke into an ecstatic smile.
"This thing is really a big treasure. Let's all help and dig out as much as we can. Maybe we can be saved because of it!"
In the face of a life-threatening situation, survival was the instinct.
Hearing this, everyone was not in a hurry to feel sorry for the captain's beloved saber. They immediately tried their best to dig out more pieces of metal.
Lin Mengya, who was at the back, asked Aunt Fang to bring them some cold water.
"Pour it on this!"
She took a basin of water and poured the metal pieces on it.
Soon, mist rose into the air, and she carefully picked up one of the metal blocks.
"Be careful! It's hot!" Fang Rao warned. Lin Mengya threw the metal piece closest to the fire. After burning it for a few minutes, she asked someone to bring it back with a smile on her face.
"Just as I guessed! This thing can resist high temperatures, and it heats up slowly and cools down quickly. If we have enough metal pieces, we can use them as fireproof shields and rush out of the fire! "
Upon hearing her words, everyone was stunned.
After that, everyone worked even harder.
Fang Rao was also overjoyed. She quickly ran into the room and pulled Second Young Madam out.
Everyone worked together. The strong guards were responsible for digging out the metal pieces. Lin Mengya was responsible for cooling down and testing the temperature. Finally, Aunt Fang, Second Young Madam, and their maidservants worked together to fix the metal pieces.
There were a few more sounds of the wall cracking. Although it meant that more metal pieces were coming out, it also meant that the fire was about to spread into the yard.
They were in a more dangerous situation. There was a possibility that they would be swallowed by the fire snakes at any time.
