Tao Ran was on her way back to Ni Hong's courtyard, taking her ninth step.
When she looked back halfway, a faint light came out of her small courtyard, and the air began to smell of acrid smoke.
However, everyone was fast asleep and no one noticed the situation here yet.
It wasn't until Tao Ran pushed the door open to enter Ni Hong's courtyard that he heard someone in the distance shouting "Wait out!"
At this time, she had to hurry up.
Tao Ran quickly took out another bottle from his sleeve.
Well, there is still oil inside.
She just poured a bottle over.
He poured all the oil on the curtain of Ni Hong's room, lit the charcoal basin, and threw all the books and papers on the table.
The flames began to jump in the brazier.
Tao Ran kicked over the charcoal basin again.
Once here, Tao Ran clapped his hands and walked out of the yard calmly...
She didn't start the fire in this courtyard very much. It might take a while for it to start burning little by little...
At this time, in the small courtyard where she lived, a fire had broken out, and the flames were rolling high. It was exactly what Tao Ran wanted - a raging fire.
The sound coming from that place was much louder than before, and it could be seen from a distance that many people were screaming and running over.
What's the use of running over there?
The courtyard was extremely remote, and there were no wells nearby. The fire had already reached this level. It was not easy to put it out.
…
The old lady was woken up from her sleep.
"What did you say?"
Leaking water?
How can water leak?
And it’s Jingui’s yard?
She was helped out of bed, put on her clothes and rushed to the courtyard. When she looked out, she could already see the fire in Jingui's courtyard reaching half the sky, reflecting the bright red.
"How's it going inside? Has Jin Gui been rescued?"
"Go back to the old lady, Miss Jingui is still inside."
Still inside?
Looking at the intensity of the fire, I'm afraid it's going to be very dangerous!
"Quick, get someone to rescue you!" The old lady still remembered Jin Gui's role in blocking evil spirits.
"It's gone, it's all in the past."
"Come on, hurry up and take a look."
The old lady is panicking!
At this moment, her first reaction was that the water ghost had once again found Jingui and headed towards Jingui!
Is it because the ritual ceremony is about to end and the water ghost and the evil spirit are making their final death struggle?
That’s not right!
The Taoist priest clearly kept saying that the evil spirit has been almost dispelled, and that the water ghost has been seriously injured and cannot do evil! Is it an accident? Is it an accident?
The old lady was very upset.
The closer she got to the small courtyard, the more panicked she became and the more certain she became that Jin Gui might not be able to be saved. The fire had already penetrated the courtyard and was burning so fiercely that it was impossible to get in!
The old lady was busy directing everyone to put out the fire, but the women around her suddenly pointed in one direction and jumped.
There seems to be smoke billowing from another part of the backyard?
"I'm afraid that's not the case..."
"Where is that?"
"Back to the old lady, it's like my cousin's yard."
The old lady wants to pass away, how could she?
"Let's go and take a look."
As they got closer, they became more and more certain that it was Ni Hong's courtyard.
There were already flashes of fire, and it seemed that there was really a fire.
"Hurry, call for help."
The fire didn't look that big, but now everyone ran to the corner of Jinguiyuan. People were sent from Jinguiyuan to Ni Hong's place to put out the fire, but the journey was quite far. Although everyone tried their best to save them,
But he could only watch the fire getting bigger and bigger.
The old lady was at a loss as to what to do.
The fire on Jingui's side was bigger, but Ni Hong was more important than Jingui, so the old lady led the people and trotted over to Ni Hong first.
Looking over, no one from Ni Hongyuan came out to put out the fire.
The old lady was anxious, maybe Ni Hong was trapped in the courtyard.
Fortunately, after getting closer, I could see the situation clearly.
"This fire can be saved, right?" The furniture in Ni Hong's courtyard is all new, coated, and not flammable. It looked like a fire, but it didn't actually burn badly.
"You run as fast as you can. Go and notify Miss Biao. We must rescue Miss Biao!" the old lady ordered hurriedly. "Jin Gui's place is slow. As long as the fire doesn't spread, we can first mobilize manpower to rescue Miss Biao."
"
…
At this time, Tao Ran had already knocked on Qian Feng's courtyard door.
She took out Xiao Cui's token.
"Pass the word from the old lady, everyone in the mansion, hurry up and put out the fire." Tao Ran had already smeared a handful of black ash on his face, looking completely embarrassed as he had just been busy putting out the fire.
"Yes, okay." The women who were guarding Qianfengyuan had long heard the noise and saw the fire. They were anxious. The news coming at this time was just what they wanted, so they did not suspect that he was there at all.
.
"Then young master..."
"The old lady wants the young master to come over too. My cousin is still in the sea of fire..." Tao Ran lowered his head.
She is a good person. At this time, how could she let the eldest young master miss the opportunity to watch the fun? How could she let the eldest young master be kept in the dark without knowing it? How could she let the eldest young master become a green turtle known to the whole house without knowing it?
?
The two mothers-in-law still had no doubts, and rightly so, the eldest young master's women were both in the fire place, so the eldest young master naturally came to the scene at this time. One of them immediately went to knock on the door to unlock it and call Qian Feng to get up, and the other went to get a bucket.
Tao Ran then trotted away, pretending to tell others to put out the fire...
In fact, not only did she not go far, but she took advantage of the courtyard door to be open, ran away while the mother-in-law had her back, and hid in the darkness of the courtyard.
A minute later, seeing the horrified Qian Feng rushing out with the two women, Tao Ran started another round of her search...
Hum hum, if Qian Feng doesn't get out, how can she continue to search?
Young Master, Young Master!
Jin Gui has lived here with the eldest young master for a long time.
Wherever there is good stuff, she knows it!
In this round of searching, Tao Ran gained a lot, and another sack was filled...
about there.
withdraw!
The door of Qianfeng Courtyard has been locked.
Tao Ran was locked up in the courtyard.
But now, the mere courtyard wall can no longer contain her.
Tao Ran took out the iron piece from his lower back that tied the Taoist priest and the female corpse together.
She asked the Taoist priest to build it according to the drawing she gave her. After connecting the rope, it became an iron claw.
A tick on the wall gave her help.
Similar to rock climbing, with tension, wall climbing can get twice the result with half the effort, so it’s not that difficult.
The whole government's attention was focused on the two fire scenes. This time, of course, no one saw Tao Ran going to the other side of the backyard...
Just like the previous time, Tao Ran unloaded the sacks to the same place and hid the iron claws together.
The reason why I chose this place was not only because no one would come here, but also because if I walked a few steps further from here and passed behind the abandoned courtyard, I could reach the outer wall of the northwest corner of Qian Mansion.
Now that I have the wall-climbing tool, I can climb out and leave the Qian Mansion.
So Tao Ran tentatively decided this place would be his last place to stay in the Qian family before leaving.
In fact, now, Tao Ran can proceed to the tenth and final step of her plan: leaving.
But she doesn’t want to leave yet!
Jin Gui wants to be a bad person. In the final analysis, it is because he was too wronged and suffocated before, and he wants to be happy this time!
If you want to be happy, wouldn’t it be happier if seeing is believing?
