The thick black smoke rose into the sky and kept rising.
A large fire was particularly obvious in this dark night, making the place around the inn brighten. The scene of flames burning was particularly obvious, making people feel a sense of fear when they looked over.
feel.
Through the fire, you can see that the place where the Qing fire burned was an inn. The fire was fierce and had risen to the eaves of the road. The fire could flood the entire inn at any time.
"It's time to leave, it's time to leave, everyone run away!"
"Xiao Liuzi, why are you going to be dumb? Run away quickly and get some silver notes. If you lose your life, you will have nothing."
"Run, run!"
At the scene, there were chaotic figures, and screams were heard constantly, and people kept running out of the fire.
However, the figures of those who escaped were a little embarrassed, and their underwear had been messy. Against the backdrop of the fire, they seemed to still look a little panicked, and their chests were up and down. It was obvious that they escaped from the fire.
Afterwards, I showed some fatigue and hypoxia.
"It's a disaster!"
One person stood before the fire and slowly fell down. Facing the direction of the inn, his face was pale. Everyone present knew him, and this person was the shopkeeper of the inn.
The shopkeeper's face was already covered with carbon ash and tears. Under the interaction between the two, his cheeks looked quite embarrassed, but a little funny.
However, at this moment, no one will notice the shopkeeper's funny face, and no one will laugh at him.
Now everyone cares about the situation where there is no escape in the away battle. The disaster is so fierce. If someone trapped inside, there will be only one fate, and that is, it will turn into ashes with the inn.
Everyone stood in the distance, regardless of their embarrassment, constantly calling out the names of their companions to the fire. Although the fire had already destroyed the entire inn, they still had a miracle and were looking forward to their
The fellow disciples can escape from the hands of the god of death by chance.
The fire became stronger and stronger, and there was no sign of decline. Although the sky was pitch black, it was extremely clear and there was no sign of rain.
You should know that in ancient times, there was no professional fire equipment. Faced with such a big fire, there was only one ending, that was, the fire broke out and burned the entire inn.
Many people have lost hope because as the fire burns more and more, fewer and fewer people escape from the inn, and no one can come out of it anymore. They know that their companions are likely to be
There is so much danger, and it has even been buried in the sea of fire, which is the situation they least want to see.
Most of the people who stayed in the inn today are students who came to participate in the Huaiyuan Provincial Poetry Competition. As the poetry competition approached, the entire inn was already crowded with almost no room for comments. In order to make money, the inn
The shopkeeper even sorted out the utility room that had been abandoned before and made a guest room, because this would charge more room money.
However, what people didn't expect was that such a thing would happen.
Many people have already started to cry at the scene. In the blazing fire, there are their friends, brothers or beloved gentlemen. But now they have not come out of the fire, and it is very likely that they are already there.
Death in the sea of fire.
However, there are still some people who have not given up their hopes, who are still standing in the distance and constantly calling out the name of this friend.
For a moment, wailing, crying, and shouting were intertwined, and the whole scene was in chaos.
"Hurry! There is a fire ahead, hurry up and put out the fire!"
In the direction of the Huaiyuan Provincial Office, looking at the fire from the far south, I instantly guessed what was going on, and then quickly reported the matter, and then led the team to the direction of the fire.
These people were the officers and soldiers in Huaiyuan Provincial Capital. At this time, they were not holding any weapons, but equipment for firefighting.
At the fire scene, the fire was still burning or shaking, without any weakening. Fortunately, it was a clear day and there was no wind. Otherwise, I am afraid that the wineries, pawn shops and other shops around the inn would not be spared.
"What's going on here?" The officers and soldiers rushed to the scene and went straight to ask.
"Report to the master, we are resting at this time, and I don't know what's going on, a fire broke out in the inn. Many of our companions didn't have time to escape, I'm afraid..." Speaking of this, the man
As soon as he calculated his nose, tears burst out instantly, and he stopped talking, and he kept telling the officer and soldier that he was infected.
After hearing this, the officer and soldier waved his hand. Now it is not the time to pursue this matter. It is more important to put out the fire first. If the fire is a little bigger, it may have a certain impact on the surrounding buildings.
"Brothers, put out the fire!"
"yes!"
A sound fell and all of them rushed up.
The way to put out the fire is simple. Use wooden barrels to fetch water, and water each barrel on top of the fire. The restaurants and pawn shops around the inn are convenient to become places for water withdrawal.
"You all evacuate temporarily and are farther away from the fire to avoid any harm again. The Governor will send someone to protect your safety later. We are about to start putting out the fire and cannot be distracted to protect you."
Everyone nodded and retreated to the back very consciously. They even had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, feeling that their friends still have the possibility of survival, and they looked forward to the officers and soldiers extinguishing the fire and rescuing their friends.
At this time, the crowd thought that the middle-aged scholar was holding a child tightly in his arms and protecting him. Even though he was safe, he was still afraid that the child would be harmed and refused to put him down.
Of course, this kid is Xiao Chu.
At this time, Xiao Chu was also full of fear. For him, the fire was not the first time. He experienced a fire when he was still in his infancy, but at that time he had his mother Jiang.
The clan protects him.
What he didn't expect was that his unreliable father was trying to protect him like this.
Since he entered the Xiao family, he has always felt that Xiao Changan is a bit unreliable. He even used fennel beans to deceive himself in order to make Liu give up adopting him.
However, he did not expect that Xiao Chang'an would perform like this today.
Just as he was running away with him, he returned the cabinet that fell down, which made Xiao Chu feel a little fond of this cheap father.
"It seems that my previous view of him was wrong." Xiao Chu thought secretly in his heart.
"Chu'er, our luggage has been burned, what should we do now?"
Xiao Changan's tone was a little depressed. You know, this time he entered the city, he was going to buy some gifts for his whole family, especially Liu. After following him for so many years, he didn't have any good gestures. He was about to give Liu.
I bought a beautiful jade hairpin and took it back, but I didn't expect that my silver bill would be ruined like this.
After hearing Xiao Chang'an's words, Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, as long as we have nothing to do, as for the money, I will earn back ten or a hundred times in the future. But, Dad, can you do it now
I put it down, you have brought me into a meat pie.”
Xiao Chu's tone was a little awkward. Although he once told Xiao Changan that he would come down from above, he didn't expect that Xiao Changan was so decisive. He said that the staff on the scene were too messy, and that you were effective in your age and were afraid of being hurt by others.
It's right.
This made Xiao Chu feel a little moved, but he was a little helpless. No one ran around the scene now.
The situation on the scene is that those who can run out have already run out. Those who are cultivating on the spot, but those who don’t run out can basically not come out, so the current scene is not that chaotic.
Of course, this just means that the fire scene of those who escaped from the inn was still extremely chaotic. Officers and soldiers kept rushing into the fire with buckets, and then ran out to fetch water again.
However, in Xiao Chu's eyes, these are indeed dropping into the bucket.
"Sure enough, in front of nature, the power of human beings is too small." Xiao Chu sighed in his heart, and then quietly broke out in Xiao Chang'an's arms, but the result was
Xiao Changan hugged him tighter. After trying it a few times, Xiao Chu had to give up.
Xiao Chu was very satisfied with Xiao Changan's performance. He hadn't seen it before, but his unreliable father was finally reliable once, which made Xiao Chu feel warm.
Just after Xiao Chu mentioned to Xiao Changan more than ten times that he had put him down, Xiao Changan finally couldn't stand Xiao Chu's soft and hard beating and put Xiao Chu down.
"Little guy, I can listen to you in other things, but today you have to listen to me. The fire is too big, so you can run around." Xiao Changan's face was extremely stern, but Xiao Chu never saw him since he was a child.
The look of passing.
This scene surprised Xiao Chu very much. Xiao Changan's undeniable tone completely dispelled Xiao Chu's idea of thinking about plagiarism, so he had to nod.
Seeing Xiao Chu obediently nodding, Xiao Changan smiled with satisfaction, but still felt a little worried. He immediately held Xiao Chu's small hand tightly with his big hand and pulled it into his hand, for fear that Xiao Chu would be hit.
.
Although Xiao Chu was a little reluctant, he had to agree when he saw Xiao Changan's desperate look.
"This is almost the same. At least it looks like a father. It's worth calling you a father." Xiao Chu secretly exclaimed in his heart, and his senses towards Xiao Changan were better.
"I don't know how those people who came with us are doing." Xiao Changan seemed to be talking to Xiao Chu, but he seemed to be muttering to himself.
Although the scene was brightly found by the fire, they were already away from the fire scene. Even if they could vaguely see people's faces, if they wanted to find their companions from one after another, it would be obvious that it would be a
Extremely difficult things.
Xiao Chu looked at the direction of the original inn and saw many officers and soldiers running back and forth in the fire, and sighed.
It is obvious that without professional fire fighting equipment, it is difficult to put out the fire. They are now doing so to reduce the fire, but they are just futile.
Not long after, a large group of officers and soldiers joined in again. With more officers and soldiers joining the team to put out the fire, the fire became much weaker for a moment.
Even Governor Xu Yannian came to the scene to command the fire.
After all, a fire is not a good thing at this critical moment. You should know that the Huaiyuan Provincial Poetry Competition has been held. If a student dies in the fire, it will be a serious matter.
"Mr. Xu, the fire has basically been controlled by us and will not spread. It will take almost a stick of incense to extinguish it."
Xu Yannian nodded and said sternly: "Be sure to seize the time and search for anyone who may survive on the scene!"
After this statement, Xu Yannian was a little bit confident. It was almost impossible to survive such a big life.
Xu Yannian walked towards Xiao Chu and the others and said to everyone: "Everyone, are you all okay?"
When everyone heard the arrival of Governor Xu Yannian, they felt a little depressed. The person in front of him was Governor, a serious official. The entire Huaiyuan Province had to listen to him. With his respect, he could come.
Care about them, this is a great honor.
"I have heard that the Governor of Huaiyuan Province, Xu Yannian, loves the people so much. This is indeed true."
"It is our blessing to have a good official like Lord Xu in Huaiyuan Province."
"I think Mr. Xu can actually come to care about us in person in white clothes like us. It seems that the rumors outside that Mr. Xu is a good official who is rare in a century is indeed true."
Among the crowd, just as Xu Yannian walked to them and greeted them, he began to discuss in a low voice, but the topic of everyone's discussion was praise for Xu Yannian.
Indeed, in such an emergency, Xu Yannian is indeed worthy of the title of good official who can come forward to the situation of these white clothes.
"Mr. Xu, we have nothing to do, but our companions may be trapped in the inn. You must save them!" Someone in the crowd was already crying when he thought about Xu Yannian.
"Don't worry, I have ordered people to put out the fire as soon as possible and search for detailed information on whether there are surviving people. If there are, I will definitely rescue them." Xu Yannian said to everyone with a serious expression.
"Thank you, Lord Xu!" Everyone had already burst into tears and respectfully bowed to Xu Yannian. After seeing Xu Yannian, they felt like they had seen a great savior, pouring out all the tears that had not shed just now.
Seeing this, Xu Yannian quickly shook his head and helped the people in front of him up one by one, "Everyone, get up quickly, as the governor of a province, it is Ben Guang's dereliction of duty to let everyone suffer such a major fire under my rule.
Now, everyone get up quickly.”
Seeing everyone getting up, Xu Yannian said to everyone again: "I promise everyone that if you find that there are still survivors, you will do your best to treat them."
Xiao Chu looked at Xu Yannian's figure in front of him, and was no stranger to him. He had seen it once before when he was in Chongming Mansion and had a meal together.
However, I didn't expect that this governor would be so loved.
Just as Xiao Chu was looking at the fire in the distance, he suddenly thought of someone in his heart, fair young actor, Lu Yu!
Since the fire broke out, I have never seen this guy. Then Xiao Chu looked around for a while, but he did not see any child.
"You kid won't really hang it inside, right?" Xiao Chu said lightly in his heart.
Although Xiao Chu hated Lu Yu a little bit about him at the beginning of the day, as he got along slowly, he found that this little guy was quite pleasing.
Don't be stubborn, I promised to ask you to eat skewers. Whoever breaks his promise is a bastard.
