Shattered Glass (Shang Li)

8: Relieved

The fire, the continuous fire scorched her whole body with severe pain, and her breathing became so difficult that she was awakened in her sleep and opened her eyes...there was fire everywhere! Even a corner of the bed sheet ignited a flame, and the churning air distorted the scene in front of him.

Help! help me!

Her voice was choked, and she couldn't make a sound for the first few times, and she was so anxious that she would jump out of her voice.

Help! Help!

She finally yelled out, hoarse, but-no one came to save her! She fell into the flames in despair, alone and helpless. That kind of despair, helplessness on the verge of death... made her heart burst. She knows that no one will come, she can only rely on herself! When she restrained her fear and ran towards the front line of life with her weakened legs, only she could understand the loneliness of sorrow. Seeing the starry sky shining with fire, she looked at the twinkling stars behind the hot air, she was saved! A section of the flaming beam fell down, and she instinctively blocked it with her arm...

pain! She hurts beyond words!

Save me, who can save me? !

In the fear and pain, although knowing that no one will come, and no one can protect her, she still hopes mournfully... someone can give her a hand, have an embrace that makes her cry, someone can take care of her and she is already burnt. Wounds.

No... never.

She curled up in a corner of the yard trembling. The **** chief who came to hear the news just glanced at her and said, "Just run out." No one paid attention to her pain, no one comforted her fear, everyone did. Busy to fight the fire, she was forgotten and shivered in that dark corner.

Orphan...At this moment, she felt the bitterness of this word most deeply.

She hugged her legs tightly, and her whole body shrank into the smallest ball. Tears flowed from her burnt face and stinging. Her jaw trembled so badly that she even clucked her teeth. With all her remaining hope, even though it was already faint as sparks in dead ashes, she still stared at the door of the yard, hoping that someone would come... to rescue her. I hope that the next person who comes in through the door will come to her.

Help me...Help me!

What she begged to be saved was her heart that had been burned through by loneliness and despair.

"Meiligege! Meili!"

Someone grabbed her arms and shook them. Her eyes were scorched by the heat and couldn't see clearly. Is the one she longing for to save her coming? ! Tears filled her, and she couldn't even see the person's face.

"It's on fire! It's on fire! I am hurt! My arm hurts!" She cried, and finally someone could hear her say this. Even if she is not comforted or protected, it is good to be able to hear her talk about the fear and pain in her heart.

"Miri, there is no fire! There is no fire!"

She stubbornly grasped the man's hand, tears rippling, "Take me away! Take me out of here!"

"You have a nightmare, open your eyes and see, you are safe!"

Safety? She shivered and closed her eyes to look around...Where is this? She was puzzled for a while. She saw several guards with amazement, holding a torch in one hand and a knife in the other, all looking at her weirdly.

She shuddered and slowly regained consciousness. This is the tent in the paddock... She saw the person who came to save her, but ran into a pair of young and clear eyes with sympathy and pity. The torch dotted his beautiful eyes with a few light spots, like stars reflected in a deep pool.
