The heroine of the healing department is very rigid [Pride and Prejudice]

For some time now Mrs. Bennet has been complaining of neuralgia.There happened to be a new pharmacist in the next village, so Elizabeth decided to check it out and buy some anticonvulsants on the way.

The new pharmacist was so popular that Elizabeth had to queue for two hours to get her medicines.

Just when she was about to buy some more nice fabrics and was about to go home, a pungent smell of smoke suddenly began to fill the air.

At first, she didn't pay attention to it, thinking that the steak of the proprietress of the cloth shop was burnt.But soon, the smell of smoke became stronger and stronger, and no one knew who yelled "it's on fire", and then the customers in the store began to run out in a panic.

Elizabeth was pushed towards the door by the crowd, but then they retreated back. The wooden door of the cloth shop had been engulfed in flames, and the orange flames rushed straight to the pillars of the roof.

The children cried, and Elizabeth covered her mouth and nose with a veil, and looked out through the gap in the window, and found that not only this cloth shop, but also many shops and houses around were on fire.

Several youths were organizing the villagers to fight the fire. They brought buckets of water and splashed them on the flames, but because the fire was too big, it was difficult for the water to work.

The temperature in the cloth shop continued to rise, and the curtains, carpets, and brand-new fabrics had all become fuel for combustion. The raging fire forced people to retreat to the second floor.

But after a while, the second floor was gradually surrounded by flames.Two women were already having difficulty breathing, and their children were choking on the smoke and crying.

"Come here, we can jump from here."

A young woman pushed open a narrow window. There was a large cistern under the window. Probably because of it, the fire had not yet spread to the ground below the window.

So the crowd flocked to the window in an instant.

A man knocked away the women around him by virtue of his physical strength. He dragged his wife over and pushed her to jump out of the window.

But the woman's pannier was too wide, and she was stuck against the window.

"Damn it! Why are you wearing this kind of thing?" The man pushed violently. He folded the woman's legs to his chest and wanted to throw her directly, but a fishbone on the pannier got stuck in the window crack inside.

"Get out." The man lost his patience. He pulled the woman back and threw her on the ground. He stepped up the window by himself, but he was also stuck.He was too big to fit through the narrow window.

Due to the flow of air, the fire became even bigger, and some children could not bear the thick smoke and passed out.With red eyes, the man smashed the window lattice and frame with his fist, and finally jumped down.

The rest of the women also started to follow his example and jumped down. Elizabeth helped the woman just now to tear off her pannier and jumped down with them.

The cistern under the window was very deep, and it was full of various aquatic organisms, so no one was seriously injured.

After climbing out of the pool, the women's clothes and hair were soaked, and every step they took would leave a wet footprint on the ground, but this wet clothes also happened to help them walk through the thick smoke well.

Elizabeth was quite familiar with the environment here, but now the house collapsed, and the stalls, people, and animals on the street were in a mess. This made her unable to accurately identify the direction to go home, and could only follow the flow of people. place to go.

The villagers of Hertford filled their wagons with buckets of water, and drove as fast as they could to the place of the fire, with Mr. Bennet following them.

"Don't you have a fire brigade?" Ai Mier yelled loudly looking at the thick smoke in the distance, "How long will it last to fight the fire like this?"

Mary didn't refute, because this time Emily really hit the point.

Hertford and its nearby villages have never formed a fire brigade. On the one hand, it is because of insufficient funds, and on the other hand, it is because the UK has always been rainy, and everyone has little awareness of fire prevention.

Mary always thought that she could change something after being reborn, such as this fire.

In the previous life, the fire caused great harm, many villagers lost their lives, and the survivors' family properties were also devoured by the fire.

But it happened three years later, so Mary didn't take it to heart for a while.Thinking of finding a suitable time in the spring of the next year to remind them to pay attention to fire prevention.

But who would have thought that it would happen three years earlier, and Elizabeth was still there, which was also something that did not happen in the previous life.Mary was regretful and afraid, and at the same time felt very selfish.

The Black Death is seven years later, but because it concerns her, she started preparing early.

The fire happened in the next village and didn't reach Hertford, so she didn't take it seriously.But who would have thought that Elizabeth would go there.

This must be punishment for my selfishness, Mary's nose began to sore.

In the entire Bennet Manor, only Elizabeth could understand the books she read and silently supported her.When her mother put her in confinement, Elizabeth would buy some books on natural science to relieve her boredom.When she and Emily quarreled, Elizabeth would try to cheer her up.

Elizabeth is the best!

But now, because of her own selfishness, her life and death were in doubt, Mary sobbed, not even paying attention to Emily's contemptuous gaze.

"The fire won't spread here, right?" Emily said suddenly, she remembered that there was no fire in "Pride and Prejudice", but the current situation made her afraid.

She just wanted to marry Darcy, but she didn't want to spend her life here.Thinking of this, Ai Mier immediately ran back to the bedroom and began to pack her luggage. She wanted to leave before the fire spread to this side.

"Stupid girl, put down your luggage. The wind here always blows to the east, and we live on the west side." Ms. Gray sat on a high-backed chair poisedly, holding a cup of black tea.

She was very dissatisfied with the panicked performance of the Bennet family. You must know that a lady must remain graceful at all times, instead of crying at every turn.

Emily can never tell the difference between south, east and north, but at least she can understand what Ms. Gray is saying.

She went out to take a look suspiciously, and found that the fire did not intend to spread to this side at all, so she was relieved.But still did not relax his vigilance, but looked around for horses and carriages with his suitcases, but found nothing.

"Your father won't take all the horses and carriages to the next village to fight the fire? What shall we do? What if, what if the wind changes?"

"If we don't do everything we can to help them fight the fire, the fire will reach Hertford even if the wind doesn't change."

Mary wiped away the tears from her face and explained through gritted teeth.Not without vicious hope in his heart that it was Emily who was caught in the flames, not Elizabeth.

"We should leave ourselves a way out." Emily walked up and down the living room irritably, her heavy boots creaking the floor.

"Do good every day, do good every day." The system reminded its host in a low voice.

"They are just paper people, and it doesn't matter if they die." Ai Mier shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "Do NPCs understand? They are all NPCs, and it doesn't matter if they die."

"You'd better go and rescue Elizabeth." The system kindly reminded.

"The fire is so big now, do you want me to die?" Emily exclaimed, "How can there be a system like yours?"

"You are bound to me, so you won't die. Besides, I told you that the boss of this world is Mary Bennet, and I didn't make you an enemy of her." The system muttered softly, and then repeated, "You just have to remember to do one good thing every day, one good thing every day."

But Ai Mier never took his words to heart, so she didn't hear a word of what the system said just now.

Pushed around by panicked villagers, Elizabeth's nose was filled with soot and she was choked with barrages of coughing with every breath she took.She had completely lost the ability to recognize the direction, so she could only stand in the middle of the crowd in a daze, trying to find a familiar face, but all failed.

A piece of sparkling wood fell and was about to hit Elizabeth's head, but missed.

Darcy dodged the flaming log grabbing Elizabeth's shoulders, his suit jacket gone, and only a dirty vest and shirt left on him.

He held Elizabeth's wrist and nimbly shuttled through the crowd, "I just saw your father. He was fighting the fire and he was also looking for you." Darcy explained quickly that he had only been here once, but with Good sense of direction without getting lost.

The fire gradually decreased, and the clouds in the sky piled up together, forming a black mass.A flash of lightning suddenly flashed, followed by rumbling thunder, and the villagers cheered.

After a while, big raindrops fell down like a vent of anger, and the flames that had been arrogant an hour ago gradually faded away.The flames on the roof were extinguished first, followed by some roadside carts and stalls, and the villagers cheered and accelerated the pace of clearing the embers.

After more than an hour, the fire finally went out.

"The fire is out." Mary was the first to discover the situation. She stood at the entrance of the village and loudly reported the situation to the villagers behind her. Then she handed over her mother and sisters to Jane and Mrs. Gray, and ran to the neighboring village impatiently.

"I'm going to pick up Father and Elizabeth." Mary said as she ran through the rain, terrified that she would only see the dead bodies of her family.

After the fire, the village has become pitch-black. The beautiful red-roofed and yellow-painted houses can no longer be seen. The trees are black, the roads are black, and even the people are black.

A child with all his hair burned was crying for his mother. He had a large burn on his face, and the wound looked even more horrible under the rain.

After hesitating for a while, Mary carried the child to a safe place to shelter from the rain, handed him a bottle of ointment she had specially picked up before leaving, and continued to search for her family.

The embers of the fire were everywhere in the air. God probably moved his compassionate heart, and the rain only increased, but this undoubtedly made it more difficult to find someone.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Mary finally saw the familiar figure of Elizabeth.Her skirt was so black that she couldn't see the color, and her face was covered in smoke and dust, but she was fine.Mary rushed up immediately, almost crying with excitement, and then she found that Darcy was there, but Mr. Bennet was not seen for a long time.

"Where's father? Father is here to look for you and put out the fire. Have you met?" Mary asked, holding Elizabeth's cold hands.
