However, everyone present was clenching their teeth and persevering in silence.
Under the high temperature, their faces were roasted dry, and they were constantly suffering from the pain of their skin cracking.
No matter how careful they were, blisters still formed on their hands from the heat. The blisters burst, revealing bright red flesh.
However, no one was willing to stop. They were all working hard for their companions' survival.
"More or less. Let's try and see if we can get out of here!"
Lin Mengya counted the number of metal shields and couldn't help but smile.
Not only could it be used as a fire shield, but it could also be used as a bridge to the outside world at a critical moment.
The Jackdaw Guards retreated and watched as she poured two buckets of water on the thick quilt.
Inside the quilt, there were many pieces of heat-insulating metal.
"Miss, you go first."
The captain's face was red from the heat, and his hands were a bloody mess.
However, he still held on to his responsibility in the face of such temptation.
In fact, none of the nine Jackdaw Guards had betrayed them.
Even if they died, it was their duty and belief to protect their mistress.
However, Lin Mengya glanced at the fire and said resolutely, "No, you guys go first. Aunt Fang and I will hold them off."
"No, it's too dangerous here. Our responsibility is to protect you!" The captain thought that even if they were all burned to death, they had to get their mistress out of here.
Unfortunately, Lin Mengya was even more determined than them this time.
"Hurry up and go! This is an order! Also, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that these metal blocks appeared? "
The squad leader furrowed his brows, but he quickly understood what was going on.
He pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the broken knife in his hand.
"I understand. Don't worry, Miss. We'll be careful and get rid of all obstacles."
Lin Mengya couldn't help being rude.
"What do you understand? I'm telling you to find someone to dig this out! How can we let such a good thing fall into someone else's hands? They almost burned me to death for it. I won't leave a single feather for them this time! "
The captain was stunned again.
In a trance, he suddenly remembered something that their fox-eyed instructor had said when they were being trained.
Whatever their Miss wanted, they had to pluck the feathers from the geese, leaving not even a blade of grass behind.
He had even trained them for half a year on how to empty a treasury in the shortest amount of time possible.
Hmm, now that I think about it, the instructor either had a precedent, or he had foresight!
The fire outside the courtyard was getting closer and closer.
The nine Jackdaw Guards were divided into three groups. One group was responsible for opening the path, while the other two were responsible for dealing with unexpected situations.
Lin Mengya and the others followed them.
However, the Second Young Madam insisted on bringing along her daughter's remains.
"I can't leave Qiao Er here! I have to take her with me! "
The Jackdaw Guards were about to charge into the fire, but they were still tugging at each other.
Fang Rao felt a little troubled.
"Second Sister-in-law, Qiao 'er has already left. Even if we bring her out, it won't help."
She didn't say that it would be difficult for them to walk out on their own, let alone carry an unconscious and a mummy.
However, the Second Young Madam refused to let go of Fang Qiao's remains. She wept silently and refused to let go of Fang Qiao's remains.
For a moment, they were at an impasse.
Suddenly, the sound of the walls exploding came from outside.
This time, most of the courtyard's walls collapsed due to the fire.
The wildly dancing tongues of flame were like living creatures, as if they could instantly engulf this small courtyard that was surrounded by them.
The captain's anxious voice came from outside.
"Miss, if we don't leave now, we won't be able to!"
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared.
Before anyone could react, he forcefully pulled the Second Young Madam away and threw the girl's mummy out of the fire.
"Damn it, are you trying to get me killed? Useless thing, she's already dead! "
A roar of despair came from the Second Young Madam's throat.
She felt like she was reliving the moment when she lost her daughter.
"What are you screaming for? I know you're up to no good, you little slut. Now you're trying to get me killed! "
The man didn't seem to be satisfied and actually wanted to beat the Second Young Madam up.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya and the others reacted in time.
"Second Brother, you've already woken up? Then why didn't you get up and leave on your own? "
Fang Rao blocked Fang Gui with an unfriendly expression.
However, the other party glared at her in dissatisfaction.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to lie here and pretend to be dead. Let me tell you, you must compensate me for the Fang family's losses. Otherwise, I'll tell Elder Zhao that the man beside you is that little bastard from the Huo family! "
"You know about it?" Fang Rao couldn't believe it.
However, the other party was quite pleased with himself.
"Of course. If I hadn't been smart enough to pretend to be dead, I wouldn't have known about your many secrets, my dear sister."
Seeing the smug look in his eyes, Fang Rao's heart turned cold.
It turned out that the Fang family were all selfish and cold-blooded.
"My daughter! Fang Gui, give me back my daughter! "
The Second Young Madam completely broke down.
However, she only received a cold threat from Fang Gui.
"Your daughter died a long time ago! Little slut, when I get out of here, I'll definitely divorce you — Ah! Pull this lunatic away! "
The second half of the sentence was because the Second Young Madam suddenly broke free from Lin Mengya's grasp and slammed her head against the other party.
"Give me back my daughter's life!"
Anger drove the Second Young Madam to make her final counterattack.
She exploded with unlimited power, her eyes bloodshot.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, she actually grabbed the other party's neck and fearlessly pushed him into the raging fire.
"Ah! Save me! Hurry up and save me! "
Fang Gui only felt as if someone had ripped off his skin and flesh. He screamed in pain.
However, the people around him couldn't save him even if they wanted to.
The Second Young Madam gritted her teeth and pushed him into the deepest part of the raging fire.
That pair of cold little hands were like a pair of pliers, locking him firmly in the middle of the raging fire.
Even though the other party's entire body was on fire, that pair of blood-red eyes still stared at him.
"I was wrong! Xiaowen, I was wrong, please let me go! Ah! "
He cried bitterly, but his tears evaporated before they could flow out.
He wanted to struggle, but the immense pain made it impossible for him to escape.
Suddenly, the grip on his neck loosened.
Fang Gui screamed and used all his strength to crawl out of the raging fire.
"You're not fit to be the father of my child. Get lost."
Finally, the woman who had been a coward all her life could only coldly watch the man rolling on the ground and wailing.
In the end, she was also engulfed by the raging fire, her soul also following in the footsteps of her beloved daughter.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
By the time they wanted to save him, the couple had already become a pair of men on fire.
In the end, the Second Young Master of the Fang family, Fang Gui, also couldn't escape the punishment of fate.
He crawled out of the raging fire, but he also became a human-shaped piece of charcoal, paying for his sins.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked.
Especially Lin Mengya and Fang Rao.
They were both mothers, and more or less understood the Second Young Madam's state of mind.
She was a woman who had reached the pinnacle of despair.
It was a pity that her husband, the man who was the source of all this evil, wasn't willing to leave her even the slightest bit of hope.
Presumably, even if she lived, she would only become a walking corpse.
Lin Mengya rubbed her dry eyes, her expression couldn't help but become more serious.
"Let's go."
The squad leader nodded, raised a simple and crude fire shield, and fearlessly rushed out of the raging fire with his companions.
Behind them were Lin Mengya, Fang Rao, Zhao Ziyan, and the servants.
The temperature of the raging fire was too high. Even though they weren't slow, it still made it difficult for them to breathe.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya had told them to wrap their heads in wet, heavy clothes or blankets, so that they could move with difficulty in the raging fire.
But the air was getting thinner and thinner.
The raging fire wantonly robbed them of the oxygen they needed to survive.
In the end, these people actually felt their vision go black, and they couldn't even see where they were going.
"Hold on a little longer, we'll be able to get out of here soon!"
At this moment, Lin Mengya's hoarse voice became the guiding sign for everyone present.
Every time she shouted, she would violently cough a few times.
The scalding air poured into her throat, and it could cause permanent damage to it.
For someone like her who practiced reading minds, the damage would definitely be fatal.
But she couldn't stop.
She had to encourage everyone and lead them out of here.
One sound, two sounds …
Her voice became hoarse.
Finally, after she shouted for the fifth time, the Jackdaw Guards in front of her had safely rushed out of the raging fire.
The first thing they did was to use the almost dried shields in their hands to form a path for the people behind them.
"We've escaped?"
When the last servant walked out, their faces covered in soot, they finally realized that they'd really escaped from death!
Everyone's hearts were filled with a wave of wild joy.
Fang Rao also hugged Auntie Lan, bursting into tears.
Only Lin Mengya frowned.
She touched her throat, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a bitter smile.
"That's great! Let's hurry up and go. Xiao 'er should be thinking of a way to save us!"
Fang Rao said excitedly to Lin Mengya, feeling lucky to have survived a disaster.
When she saw Lin Mengya nod, she immediately led everyone in the direction of the front yard.
Although the entire Fang Residence was on fire, the fire at Second Young Master Fang's side was the most intense.
Just as Lin Mengya had guessed, they'd probably done this because of the mysterious metal block.
Suddenly, the main door collapsed.
Countless guards rushed in and surrounded Lin Mengya and the others.
Fang Rao's heart tightened. She immediately shielded them behind her and prepared for battle.
But unexpectedly, those people didn't act rashly.
