Chapter 290: Catching a turtle in a urn
"Do you know the constellations?" Qin Li'er suddenly asked.
"Constellation? What is it?" Zeng Tiancai looked at Qin Li'er. Although he couldn't see her face clearly in the dark night, he knew that she always knew a lot of strange things.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Qin Li'er suddenly felt a touch of sadness. After savoring it carefully, she knew that it was a kind of homesickness. Yes, she was a little homesick.
No matter how careless she is, deep down in her heart she still has emotions common to all humans.
Damn it, some damn poet said that the starry sky makes people homesick!
She shook her head slightly, trying to get rid of the sadness in her heart. The smell of sadness made her very uncomfortable.
After a long while, she slowly said: "In my hometown, someone connected the stars in the sky according to different directions so that they outline different shapes. These shapes became constellations. There are a total of twelve in the sky.
Different constellations were given names. Later, I don’t know if people were too idle, but they assigned various rules, birthdays, emotions, fortunes, etc. to these twelve constellations.”
"Oh, is there such a strange thing? What constellation is directly in front of us?" Zeng Tiancai suddenly became interested and pointed to the sky and asked.
"Uh!" Qin Li'er looked at the stars in the sky, scratched the back of her head, and said weakly: "The stars here are different from those in my hometown."
Zeng Tiancai turned his head and said, "Hey, different?" He stared at her suspiciously.
"Huh? Not only are they different, the stars here will also get bigger!" Qin Li'er's eyes widened, looking at the increasingly larger light spots on the horizon.
"Grow bigger?" Zeng Tiancai turned his head to look at the sky suspiciously, but in an instant his pupils suddenly dilated and shouted: "There are flying arrows! Everyone take cover!" After saying this, he dragged Qin Rong'er into the hole.
Almost at the same time, the "stars" that grew bigger in Qin Li'er's eyes turned into rockets and shot towards the location of several people. Several people on duty who were slow to react were suddenly hit by arrows, and several screams were heard.
Zeng Tiancai's cry woke up those who were resting. Uncle Qiao touched Zeng Tiancai's side and asked: "Young escort master, what happened?"
"We are under attack. Let everyone find cover. We don't know where the other party is coming or how many people there are at the moment." Zeng Tiancai quickly ordered.
"Yes." Uncle Qiao quickly went to wake up those who were still awake, and at the same time arranged for the panicked people to rescue the person who was hit by the arrow.
"Are you okay?" Zeng Tiancai then looked at Qin Li'er beside him.
"It's okay." Qin Li'er shook her head, "Hey, the ground is on fire." She pointed to the ground.
"No, there is a bamboo tube filled with kerosene tied to the arrow. The kerosene leaked out as soon as it hit the underground bamboo tube." Zeng Tiancai frowned.
"The fire is spreading inward." Qin Zhuer pointed out the important point again. The terrain in this cave is sloping inward, so as soon as the fire oil leaks on the ground, it flows inward, which causes the fire to spread inward.
Zeng Tiancai also discovered this, "The other party is trying to catch a turtle in a urn and wants to burn us to death in the cave."
Qin Li'er couldn't help but become anxious, "What should we do?"
He stretched out half of his head and looked outside. Countless rockets were still flying towards him. Now the fire was obviously put out by the arrows. After pondering for a moment, he shouted loudly: "Push the carriage to the entrance of the cave to block it."
Uncle Qiao immediately led several people to cut the ropes connecting the horses, and then pushed the carriage to the entrance of the cave.
Six carriages blocked the entrance to the cave, but when the rocket hit the wooden carriage, it immediately burned.
