Chapter 477
"Huh! That's good." Chen said with a breath, patted his chest and looked at Chen Zhouheng, "I'm almost scared to death by you."
Just as I was having a good time, I heard a noisy sound from outside, "It's gone, it's gone."
Chen Zhouheng hugged his son and stood up, looking outside anxiously.
Qi Yaoyao stood up and carried his son over, urging Shenzhou to cross the road, "Go and have a look! They are all wooden houses, and if the fire is too big, it can burn the entire street."
Chen Zhouheng hurriedly ran out and happened to meet Lu Ming who was running towards him and said, "Do you know where the water has gone?"
"If you don't know, you will know that you're going to go out of the water." Lu Ming replied quickly.
"Let's go and take a look." Chen Zhou ran outwards.
Lu Ming's feet were not slow at all, and he followed closely behind and ran towards the place where the fire was soaring into the sky.

"Can you put it out?" Chen walked back and forth with an uneasy expression.
"I don't know." Qi Yaoyao shook her head worriedly and said, "Fortunately, there is no wind blowing now, otherwise this wind will help the fire. Not to mention the entire street, this county town will not be able to keep it."
In ancient times, there were no advanced fire protection facilities, so they could only rely on people, carrying water from wooden tubs and barrels to extinguish the fire.
Not to mention it, this house is so high, it can’t be so high!
"Looking at the black smoke, this fire is so small." Chen said worriedly.
"Would we pack up clothes, bedding and valuable things? If the fire burns, we will run away after carrying it." Qi Yaoyao said with his eyes looking straight at Chen.
"Oh oh!" Chen stood up in panic and said, "Daughter-in-law, you have your eldest grandson in your arms, I'll do it."
"Yeah!" Qi Yaoyao nodded gently, hugged her son and walked out.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, where are you going?" Chen asked, chasing her and blocking her.
"Go and find Tie Shu and the others." Qi Yaoyao looked at her as usual and said.
"Let them pack and prepare things too." Chen said with a hurry, "Then go quickly!"
Qi Yaoyao hurriedly searched for the pomegranate with her son, but she couldn't find it in a circle.
Qi Yaoyao found Han Chunxi and the others, looked at the children being honestly packed things, and nodded with relief.
It's great that I didn't run out to watch the fun!
"Young Madam." Han Chunxi and Xia Mingyue said with a blessing.
"I'm not here to find Tie Shu and the others, where are you going?" Qi Yaoyao looked at them and asked.
"When they heard that they had left the water, they ran to put out the fire with wooden barrels." Han Chunxi quickly replied when he heard this.
"Nothing!" Qi Yaoyao lowered her face and scolded her.
The lady, who had always been kind to the face, was angry at this moment, which scared them both of them and didn't dare to breathe.
"It's not that you two, don't be nervous, they are still children themselves! Water and fire are ruthless, don't hurt yourself." Qi Yaoyao comforted the two people with pale faces.
"Who are you going to help me pass on a message to the county magistrate?" Qi Yaoyao said straight to the point.
"Young Madam, you said," Han Chunxi said immediately after hearing this.
"If the fire cannot be extinguished, it will strip the houses on both sides to block the burning objects." Qi Yaoyao looked at them for a moment and said, "Did you remember?"
"Remember!" Pomegranate's voice came from behind, "I'll talk! Let Chunxi and Mingyue pack up just in case."
"Okay!" Qi Yaoyao turned around and looked at the pomegranate.
Pomegranate turned around and walked outward, while Qi Yaoyao walked towards the backyard, hoping to tear down the left and right rooms to stop the fire.

Chen Zhouheng and Lu Ming ran out of the yamen, and there was no need to find somewhere to go, just run along the place where the fire was soaring into the sky.
The two ran to the place where they walked, which was the most prosperous street in the county, with shops everywhere.
The wooden brick and tile house burned and the flames surged everywhere.
There were endless crackling sounds.
Because it was a fire in the evening, people had already started to spontaneously carry the wooden tub and the wooden barrel began to put out the fire.
Chen Zhouheng looked at the drop in the bucket of water and put out the fire, but it was not possible at all.
"Mr. Shen." Qiao Dayong ran over with sweat on his head and bowed.
"Dayong, isn't it a way to put out a fire like this?" Chen Zhouheng looked at him with calm eyes and asked, "Is there a firefighting team in the county?"
"Uh..." Qiao Dayong scratched his head when asked and grunted for a long time.
OK! No need to ask, this is gone.
"What should I do if I leave the water?" Lu Ming looked at him and asked directly.
"Everyone from the neighbors came together to help put out the fire." Qiao Dayong quickly explained, "We usually go to the water accidentally. There is a server at night. The weather is dry and the things are dry. Be careful of the fire. They are all alert! There are very few cases of go to the water."
"Then the fire is so strange, so big, and it was in the evening." Chen Zhouheng's face was reddened by the flames, "The fire is developing too fast."
"This time the fire is so big and it is so strong, because the bastard Wu Youde poured tincture oil and lit the fire." Qiao Dayong said gritting his teeth.
"Ah!" Chen Zhouheng said in surprise, and a faint light flashed in front of his eyes and said, "It's the gambling house that won't burn, right?"
"Yes! How did Lord Shen know?" Qiao Dayong looked at him in surprise and said, "I was arrested by the people at that time, but it was too late and it became hot."
"Where is the person there?" Lu Ming asked with concern.
"Everyone went to have dinner in the evening. There was no one at the entrance of the gambling house. He took a big lock and locked the door." Qiao Dayong said to them with a pale face.
"The door is locked, this person can jump out of the window!" Lu Ming said casually, looking at the dense window lattice on the second floor with a simple face, "Uh..."
"Master Shen doesn't know, that's called "Disable Jumping on the Fence." Qiao Dayong looked at the second floor engulfed by the flames, "It is to prevent people who lose gambling from jumping off the building. It is the most solid and difficult for ordinary people to smash it open." He said in a low voice, "Of course the fire is burning, and the room is probably full of fire."
Chen Zhouheng and the others could still hear screams and shouting for help from inside.
With such a big fire, no one dares to step forward.
"Isn't this a solution? If the fire cannot be put out, this street will be burned to ashes." Chen Zhouheng looked at Qiao Dayong with a cold face and said.
"We can't do anything about this! Unless it rains, no one can extinguish the fire." Qiao Dayong looked at the sky stained with fire and said, "It's hard to rain this day."
"It would be fine if a street was burned. It was windy in spring, dry weather, and wood-structured brick and tile houses. If it was windy..." Chen Zhouheng dared not say anything, the entire county town would fall into a sea of fire. Looking at Qiao Dayong's order, "Organize people to retreat the elderly and children outwards."
"It won't be that miserable!" Qiao Dayong said unwillingly.
