The evil cultivator who was standing there reporting was shocked when he heard this.
When he went there before, there were no problems. He even checked around and there was no one suspicious.
Why suddenly...
He didn't understand how the other party could be so fast. He was ordered by his master to check the grains. How long had it passed before they were all burned?
Could it be that someone was following him when he passed by?
He suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if there was a poisonous snake staring at him. When he looked up, he saw his master staring at him with eyes as gloomy as a dead man.
"Master, master..."
His face turned pale, he took a step back, and opened his mouth to ask for mercy, but he didn't know how to ask.
"Master, this subordinate... I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so careless. Please give me a chance to make meritorious service. I will lead people to put out the fire."
He knelt down to Yang Tianxiu with a bang and said.
In fact, his legs had long been weakened by fear and he could not stand at all. He could not imagine what would happen to him if the food was not saved.
"Since you want to be punished and make meritorious service, why don't you go quickly!"
At this moment, Yang Tianxiu had no idea of blaming his subordinates. He just wanted to send someone to put out the fire quickly.
"Let Leader Ge and Leader Zuo go, immediately, immediately!" he shouted angrily at the kneeling evil cultivator.
"Yes Yes."
Xie Xiu said yes, gritting his teeth before letting his weak legs stand up, and ran towards the door with some staggering.
He was afraid that if he ran a step slower, he would be killed by his angry master.
"Damn, damn!"
Yang Tianxiu's eyes were scarlet, like a devil coming out of hell.
He also couldn't figure out who had such powerful means to follow all his people.
Even for those who were hiding in the dark, he believed that they did not have that many people who could keep an eye on the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention setting fire to his granary in broad daylight!
This is simply challenging his bottom line!
…
After a while, several places in the city were set on fire and crowded with people.
Each one held a bucket in his hand and poured buckets of water into the fire. One after another, when the bucket was empty, he went to fetch water again.
But, after all, it is a drop in the bucket.
There are not many water sources in the city, and they rely on some well water, but it requires manpower to bring it up.
They have manpower, but it doesn't take time to fetch water.
For a time, evil cultivators gathered at the mouths of various wells in the city, all waiting to get water.
Seeing that the fire was burning more and more fiercely, everyone knew in their hearts that the food could not be saved, and it was too late.
"What are you doing here?"
A sharp shout sounded from behind them, and the left leader strode over.
"Separate a group of people and look for pools. There are pools and wells in the backyards of those big houses, and this is not the only one. Look for all the houses here that don't have wells!"
After Leader Zuo's reminder, everyone suddenly came to their senses.
Yes, they used to fetch water mainly for drinking, so naturally no one has ever thought of the water in the backyard ponds of wealthy families.
But now it is used to extinguish fires, and the water in the pond can play a big role.
