The child's cry resounded in the fire.

A man in black who set the fire stopped when he heard the child's cry.

He's done with his mission, it's time to return.

It's just that at this time, hearing the child's cry, the man in black was also a little unbearable.

So, he began to search.

Soon, though, he found the source of the sound.

An eight- or nine-year-old child dressed in white was standing under a burning beam.

And the beam of the house is about to burn out, and the house is about to collapse.

The man in black immediately stepped forward and hugged the child, and hurriedly rushed outside.

With a bang, the beams broke, and the entire roof shattered and slammed downward.

The man in black seized the opportunity and dragged the child out at once, and got out of danger with the two children.

It was just that the roof of the house fell and slammed into the ground, and a few nails hooked one of the black's boots, making him unable to move.

There were no injuries, no hooks on the feet, just hooks on the boots.

The man in black tugged slightly, but the boots didn't move.

Seeing that the flames were about to burn, the man in black quickly took off his boots and walked to the wall with one foot.

Carrying the boy on his back, the man in black climbed the wall and climbed out of Xu's mansion.

..

Liu Yuan, in his deep sleep, suddenly felt a little hot under his body.

Opening his eyes, Liu Yuan noticed a little fire coming from under his feet.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan's unbright brain finally sent out a useful message.

It's on fire!

Gotta run quickly!

Liu Yuan himself has been pampered in Jinling for decades, and he has long been in the sound of dogs and horses of all kinds of people, and he has already made a fool of his body.

This time, I saw the fire burning to my feet.

It's just that at this moment, Liu Yuan's legs suddenly went numb, and he saw the flames rushing to his feet.

Move, move, move!

Liu Yuan hurriedly kicked his legs, and finally regained consciousness in his lower limbs.

Run! Run! Run!

Hurriedly rolled out of bed, Liu Yuan desperately ran away, the fire had already burned through half of the house, and if it was a little later, Liu Yuan would be dead.

ran out of the house with all his might, and Liu Yuan had already ignited a fire in the lower half of his body at this time, igniting his clothes.

As a bloated fat man, Liu Yuan was difficult to extinguish the fire himself, so he had to roll on the ground non-stop, trying to extinguish the fire.

Still, the fire showed no signs of being extinguished.

"Someone, help, come and save me."

..

Xu Liu's family and Aunt Rong arrived at Liu Yuan's courtyard and happened to hear Liu Yuan's screams.

The house in the annex was still burning, and in the open space next to it, a burning man with his lower body on fire was rolling desperately.

Xu Liushi: "This, what can I do here?" ”

"How can I put out a fire!"

Rong Pozi suddenly had an idea at this time and put Xu Lu off her back.

"Master, there is a water tank here, this is the tank where the second master raises fish."

"Let's break the water tank and let the second master roll on the water, won't this put out the fire?"

As she spoke, Rong Pozi picked up a stone in the yard and threw it at the water tank.

This water tank was originally a ceramic water tank, and the texture was very fragile.

The water tank broke, and all the water in the tank flowed out, and Liu Yuan, who was rolling on the ground, saw this situation and hurriedly rolled into the water.

Sure enough, after the clothes were wet, the flames on Liu Yuan's lower body were extinguished with a bang.

The fire was extinguished, Liu Yuan stood up slowly, was supported by Xu Liu, and slowly walked out of his yard.

..

The main entrance of the Xu family.

In order to prevent the people from breaking the door, the Xu family blocked the gate early.

At this moment, this forbidden gate has become a flame moat.

All kinds of boxes and cabinets that were originally piled up in front of the gate to close the road burned out at this time, which became the biggest obstacle for the Xu family to escape.

Xu Liu's group of four finally came to the main gate, and when they saw that the main gate was sealed by a fire, Xu Liu's family was regretting why they had to move so many things to block the gate before.

The surrounding servants were hiding in the open space, not knowing what to do, and when they saw Xu Liu's family coming here, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Madam, steward, what can I do about this?"

"This front door is sealed by fire, and you can't get out."

"Others went to the back door to see, and it was sealed more tightly than the front door."

When the people said this, Xu Liu's anger finally had a place to vent.

Xu Liushi: "You people, don't be stunned, hurry up and move things out of the fire, otherwise you won't be able to get out of the house when all the houses are burned." ”

As soon as Xu Liushi said this, the chattering subordinates were originally waiting for Xu Liu's orders, but now they were all stunned on the spot.

Go to the fire and get all the burning furniture out?

By hand? Xu Liushi: What is this requirement?

Many subordinates and maids were caught off guard by Xu Liu's words.

Xu Liushi: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and move everything out of the fire, if the building in the vestibule collapses in a while, none of us will survive!"

"Hurry up and move, and when you get out of the gate of Xufu, everyone will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

Xu Liushi said this, and there were really people who were eager to try and were ready to move furniture in the fire.

Soon, there was a young guy who really walked over.

He wrapped his hands in a damp cloth and took out a small box from the fire.

When he came out, his eyebrows and hair were burned by the flames, and his whole body was charred black.

"If you can do it, everyone come on, let's move together, and the master will give you a reward."

While talking, many people began to learn from him, entered the fire and began to move things.

It's just that a few unfortunate subordinates also went to try, but they didn't take protective measures, and a fire was drawn to their bodies and they burned themselves alive.

Seeing that the attention of the subordinate maid in front of him was attracted, Xu Liushi immediately pulled Xu Lu, Liu Yuan, and Rong Guzi and went to another place.

Liu Yuan: "Sister, what is this for?" ”

Seeing Xu Liu's actions, Liu Yuan was a little puzzled.

Xu Liushi looked behind him to make sure that no one was following outside, and then said.

"This is the secret passage of the Xu Mansion, from here you can lead to a hut outside, only a few of us are in the family."

Hearing this, Xu Lu on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Just now, why did my mother let those subordinates go to the fire to carry things out."

"Did they really move the furniture from the fire and go out through the gate?"

Hearing Xu Lu's words, Xu Liushi sneered.

"I told them to move their things and divert their attention."

"Otherwise, if they all follow us to the secret passage, they will pull us back."

"It's not a pity that these subordinates are all dead one by one."

"If you come to rob us of our secret passage, you will directly let them die."

While speaking, a subordinate of the Xu Mansion followed, accidentally touched a candlestick, and illuminated the figures of several people.

In an instant, the subordinate of the Xu Mansion looked at a few people with a little hesitation.

"Madame, you...."

"Tell us to go to the fire to carry things, but you have come here to find a secret way."

"I see, I want everyone to know about it!"

While talking, the people of the Xu Mansion wanted to run, but the Rong Pozi beside Xu Liu's side was quick-eyed, ran up and grabbed the clothes of the people of the Xu Mansion.

He pulled it back and slammed it to the ground.

Xu Lu on the side hurriedly took a stick, used all his strength, and the green tendons burst out, grabbing the throat of this subordinate.

As he struggled, he gradually lost his breath.

Xu Liushi: "Don't bother, hurry up and follow me." ”

"These cheap bones are still gathering in front of the gate to carry furniture, and when the front hall of the Xu Mansion collapses, these people will all die."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and follow me down the secret passage."
