CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 333: SUCH A PITY HER FACE IS SCARRED

Pei Shu’er was the first to run inside wrapped in a blanket, followed closely by Lin Yu and Lin Hong, all charging into the sea of fire to save lives.

Seeing this, the others also joined in, rushing inside.

The reason Pei Shu’er came here was because the County Magistrate’s Wife of Su County perished in this fire.

The County Magistrate was greedy, but he had a great affection for his wife, and after her death, he was despondent for a long time.

Now Pei Shu’er has offended WangLintao and is sure to encounter trouble; Tang Zan is far away, so she must find her own support.

Moreover, the County Magistrate isn’t completely beyond redemption; it’s just that in clear waters, there are no fish. He goes with the flow in corruption, otherwise he couldn’t fit in with others.

Furthermore, in the bureaucratic path, one needs to show respect when meeting leaders, and to get promotions too. In short, if you want to thrive and go far in officialdom, money is involved everywhere.

Not being corrupt isn’t an option.

She remembers Mrs. Hu was asleep in the side room at this moment, and when she discovered the fire, she had already inhaled too much smoke and carbon monoxide and couldn’t move.

Fortunately, there wasn’t anyone around; Pei Shu’er walked along spraying with a fire extinguisher, managing to control the fire somewhat, making it less difficult for her to pass through.

Upon encountering people running out, Pei Shu’er quickly put away the extinguisher.

Pei Shu’er ran toward the side room, and sure enough, heard faint cries for help.

She sprayed the door with the extinguisher before kicking it open, and saw a woman pinned down by a burning piece of wood, her clothes already on fire, unable to move.

Upon seeing Pei Shu’er, she immediately called for help.

"Help!"

Seeing the silk on the person, it must be Mrs. Hu.

After all, today the side room only had one woman—Mrs. Hu.

Pei Shu’er hurriedly kicked the wood away, extinguished the flames for her, and pulled Mrs. Hu under the blanket.

But Mrs. Hu was seriously injured and couldn’t move.

With time being urgent, Pei Shu’er didn’t delay and immediately carried her up.

Mrs. Hu was a bit scared, exclaiming in shock.

Pei Shu’er said, "Sister, don’t be afraid, I will definitely save you."

Mrs. Hu was in her early twenties and was crying in panic, her eyes full of pleading.

"My child is still on the bed, please save him."

Pei Shu’er quickly pushed the lady out of the room, placing her in a spot where the fire was less intense, and then hurried back inside.

Inside, she indeed saw a child of seven or eight years old; the child had already fainted.

Pei Shu’er immediately picked him up and walked towards the door.

Mrs. Hu watched with tears streaming down her face as Pei Shu’er carried her child.

As she was about to approach, Pei Shu’er said, "Go out first."

It was soon to reach the flashover stage; soon, the temperature here would be uncontrollable.

Thinking of Mrs. Hu’s condition, Pei Shu’er gritted her teeth and drank several mouthfuls of Spiritual Spring Water, then let Mrs. Hu hold the child, and she bent over to carry them both.

Mrs. Hu’s eyes widened; this girl had such strength.

Clearly, she could run by herself.

She could see Pei Shu’er’s face reddening from exertion, and her hair and facial skin were blistered from the flames.

Yet she didn’t mind.

Mrs. Hu was moved, but also feared dying here.

She held her child tight, thinking if she could get out alive, she would be good to this girl.

Once they got outside in the fresh air, Pei Shu’er was exhausted; with barely enough air inside and so much smoke, she was nearly fainting.

She put the two down, then leaned against the stone wall, panting for a while.

Pei Shu’er whistled, and as her men escaped too, the fire suddenly erupted.

Pei Shu’er quickly had people put out the fire with water; fortunately, no one died here, and at most, people were burned.

County Magistrate’s Wife Mrs. Hu held and shook her child, finding the child showed no signs of waking, his breathing getting weaker.

"Yun’er, wake up, mother is sorry to you. If not for insisting on coming to this temple, you wouldn’t be in danger."

Pei Shu’er said, "Let me try, bring the child to the carriage."

Mrs. Hu was about to get on the carriage; Pei Shu’er said, "Madam, I am a doctor, trust me."

Mrs. Hu cried and nodded; what other way did she have than to trust this girl?

After all, she’d tried many methods earlier, but Hu Yun hadn’t woken up.

Pei Shu’er put the oxygen tube on Hu Yun, waiting beside him, while applying burn ointment on herself.

Her face was somewhat burned but only blistered from high temperature, with the worst burns on her arms and legs.

Her effort in saving so many potentially doomed lives made the injuries worthwhile.

Hu Yun suddenly made a sound; outside the carriage, Mrs. Hu heard it and immediately opened the curtain, seeing Hu Yun’s open eyes.

Soon, Hu Yun turned his head and drifted back to sleep.

Mrs. Hu wiped her tears again, seeing her child’s improvement.

Pei Shu’er smiled, "Sister, come, let me treat your injuries."

Mrs. Hu nodded quickly, showing her wounds.

Only then did she notice Pei Shu’er’s injuries.

Her hands were blistered all over, already broken and covered in ointment, with many blisters on her fair, jade-like cheeks due to high temperature roasting.

Her feet were more severely injured.

Mrs. Hu lowered her gaze, suppressing her emotions of gratitude.

Pei Shu’er seemed unaware of Mrs. Hu’s strangeness, focusing on applying burn ointment for her.

"If all goes well, applying the ointment continuously for several days should heal."

Mrs. Hu nodded, feeling the burning pain had vanished, with a cool comfort at the wound site.

She sincerely looked at the girl before her, not only beautiful but a Divine Doctor with a kind heart.

She said earnestly, "Thank you, young lady."

Her gaze uncontrollably went back to Pei Shu’er’s blistered cheek, thinking such severe burns might leave scars.

Such a pretty young lady; if scarred, it was truly a pity.

She wanted to say more to the girl but saw her limping away to check on others’ injuries.

Pei Shu’er first applied burn ointment to those seriously injured and left some medicine.

Then she looked for other wounded.

Luckily, no one was seriously injured, requiring surgery.

After this round of treatments, people found the burns were no longer unbearable, instead feeling cool with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Everyone was very grateful to her; only then did they realize this girl had been the one who rushed into the fire to save lives.

She indeed was kind and beautiful.

It’s just a pity that her face was ruined...
