"Quick! Bring more water!" One person yelled, pointing forward.
Many people used brooms and clothes to attack the fire, but the fire became more and more fierce and could not be stopped at all.
"The fire is so strong that we can't do it without water. Come and bring a few more people to bring the water!"
There was a moment of chaos, and Su Yizhao could already feel the burning breath and pungent smell in the dormitory.
She quickly covered her mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, then looked out and found that the burning dormitory was very close to her.
There were only two dormitories separated in the middle. At this moment, thick smoke was billowing in that dormitory, and black smoke had spread from the dormitory.
Many people were putting out the fire, but the water came slowly and the fire became more and more intense.
The examination sheds are all connected together, and there are only two large water tanks nearby, which are used for everyone's drinking water.
Two of the officials held their clothes and fought for a while, but the fire was so fierce that even their clothes caught fire.
Su Yizhao was a little anxious when he saw this. How stupid! He should have used water from the beginning.
If the fire comes here, it will be difficult for them to escape.
The entire Gongyuan is locked from the outside, and no one can leave.
"Oh no, it's all on fire. The fire is getting more and more intense." Someone shouted loudly.
"What are you doing standing there? Why don't you bring more water?"
The patrol official immediately pointed to the two people who were stunned next to him to carry water. These are all dormitories. If there is a fire, they will all be connected together.
"It's on fire, please put out the fire quickly! I see there are still candidates inside."
Some candidates were very anxious when they saw this and couldn't help but urge.
"Ah~" a tragic cry came. Then a fireman ran out of the dormitory.
Everyone was shocked. Su Yizhao only saw a burning man coming out of it. He couldn't see his face or clothes at all. He could only tell it was a person from his shape.
This candidate? He was actually burned!
Su Yizhao was shocked and shouted quickly: "Quickly put out the fire for him and pour all the water on him!"
She really couldn't imagine that someone could be on fire like this, how could they not feel it? And those people were simply incapable of responding.
Someone just happened to bring two small buckets of water over, and when they saw this, they poured it on the man. But it was too late at this time, the man fell to the ground, the screams had stopped, and it was not known whether he was still alive.
Two more buckets of water were brought up and poured on the man. When the fire was extinguished, there was a "squeaking" sound, and then everyone saw the man lying on the ground clearly.
However, at first glance, everyone was shocked, and it also caused everyone to feel extreme discomfort and palpitations.
This man had been burnt into a black patch, and blood seeped out from the flesh that looked like it had been roasted to charcoal, dyeing his lower body red.
Some candidates couldn't help but vomited. The burnt people were like barbecued meat, and they were beyond recognition.
"Quick! Don't worry about him, he won't survive. Bring more water."
The patrolling officials did not pay attention to the examinee at all, because the fire in the examinee's dormitory had not yet been extinguished and the fire had spread to other dormitories.
One candidate was burned to death, and all the candidates couldn't help but feel sad. Everyone demanded that they be released first. Some candidates were already pushing and banging on the wooden door.
The scene was chaotic, with shouts and curses coming from everyone.
Seeing that Su Yizhao, who had been burned to the dormitory next door, could not sit still. He had lost the chance to rescue him before, but now that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, he was afraid that he could no longer control it.
Under such circumstances, the most important thing is to save your life. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.
"Let us out quickly. Let's help put out the fire together. We must control the fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the wind picks up, the fire will be difficult to control." Su Yizhao shouted to a patrolling official.
The houses are built in an open area, with only one floor. Although they are brick buildings, they are very short. If the wind blows, there is no shelter at all, and the fire cannot be controlled at all.
Everyone was locked inside the Gongyuan, and there was no place to escape even if they wanted to.
After putting everything away into the storage space, Su Yizhao was ready to leave.
However, the patrol official shouted at everyone: "Everyone should stay quietly in the dormitory, and do not take the opportunity to cause trouble. The fire will be extinguished soon, just wait in the dormitory."
"The fever is about to come over, why don't you let us run away?" Some candidates were furious. This is a matter of life.
Seeing that the fire had spread to the dormitories on both sides, if he didn't run away, it would be too late. Just like the examinee just now, he was burned to charcoal in an instant.
"We are already putting out the fire, can't you see? If you are let out, you will be punished as cheating. You must think carefully before the time comes and you will regret it later."
This inspector was very dignified. He glanced at everyone. Wherever he looked, the candidates immediately became quiet.
"I have studied hard for ten years just for this day. I am about to become an official, so don't let your achievements fall by the wayside."
Everyone knows that the subsequent palace examination is for ranking. Unless you do extremely poorly in the examination, the emperor will not deny you a ranking. Even if you don't do well, you can still get someone with the same background as a Jinshi.
Therefore, it can be said that knowing how to calculate is the last level.
Everyone fell silent when they heard this, including the candidates who had made the most noise before.
"I'm not convinced!" A clear voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone immediately lay down at the window and looked in that direction.
"This matter is about lives. In the face of human lives, nothing else is worth mentioning. Besides, why should we be accused of cheating when we come out? We can definitely find someone to guard us to prevent cheating."
Du Jiang turned around and saw the number fifteen on the dormitory, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
"The imperial court has regulations. Once you enter the dormitory for the exam, you must not leave the dormitory until the end. If there is any violation, you will be punished as cheating."
Du Jiang's tone was cold, "If I let you out, who will be responsible for it afterwards?"
He said, his tone softening slightly, "Don't worry, the fire is under control."
Su Yizhao sighed helplessly after hearing this, "You are really pedantic and don't know how to adapt!"
We couldn't see the full view of the fire scene, but the row on the opposite side had fallen silent. Could it be that it was really under control?
But the acrid smoke in the dormitory became thicker and thicker, and I also felt discomfort in my throat.
Su Yizhao had no choice but to change into another wet handkerchief, and then quickly observed the dormitory.
It is better to rely on yourself than to ask for help. Who knows if any accidents may happen? Before the fire is extinguished, you still have to try your best to save yourself.
The building is a brick building, and it is impossible to pry open the wall to get out. Looking up at the top, in addition to the beams, there are rows of tiles.
If you really can't, you can only walk from above. But if the fire spreads quickly and burns the beams, it will be very difficult to climb out from above.
