Qin Li's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he immediately jumped off the bed, and hurriedly came out of the house without having time to put on his robe.

The little scholar Liu Feng was also very clever, and he was the first to get out of the house.

The two of them stood in the county college and looked, oh my God! Good fire! The fire is raging, and the flames are flying. Qin Li's heart suddenly "chuckled", it's over! I'm afraid that this time the entire county school will be difficult to preserve!

The direction of the fire was the firewood room of the county school, Qin Li was in front, Lin Yan'er, Qimeng, Liu Feng and others followed closely behind, and soon ran to the place where the fire was burned.

At this time, the county school instructed Long Deyou to lead a group of poor people from the county school to fight the fire. The fire was so fierce that they couldn't come forward at all.

Qin Li's face was pale, and he quickly circled around the fire before his heart slowly put down. Although the fire was very large, fortunately, there was only one firewood room, and it could not spread. It is said that Qin Li is really careful in his work, and he isolated the firewood house from other buildings far away on the drawings for the construction of the county school.

Qin Li deeply knows that as a school, what is the most important? It is very important for more people to learn the skills of production and life, and for more people to show their talents and lift people in the examination. But the most important thing is the safety of those who read.

Safety is a top priority.

Long Deyou shouted and asked everyone to put out the fire, Qin Li waved his hand to stop him, and said in a deep voice, "Long entrusted, no need!" There is no way to save the fire. What we need to do now is to strictly prevent the spread of fire. ”

Long Deyou obeyed the order and immediately separated the messengers and surrounded the firewood room.

Fortunately, the servants had already been afraid of Qin Li, not only did no one dare to cheat and play tricks, but their enthusiasm was also very high. Some of them watched the fire, and some of them were anxious to find a burden and quickly ran to carry water outside the county school.

Yangzhou in July was originally rainy weather, but this year is very different from previous years. It's been half a month, not only hasn't it rained, but the sun is shining every day, and the weather is dry. But fortunately, there is a small river not far from the county school, and although the water level of the small river is already very low, fortunately there is still water at this time.

After the servants brought the water, they poured buckets into the fire one by one, which really fulfilled the sentence: a drop in the bucket.

More than 40 loads of water were poured into it, and the fire not only failed to be reduced, but grew bigger and bigger. What's even more strange is that there was no building connected to the firewood house, but the fire slowly spread, and the ground slowly caught fire.

Qin Li was stunned for a moment, wondering, a gust of hot wind rushed towards him, and he suddenly smelled the smell of fire oil in his nostrils. Hurriedly looked down, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, this look suddenly felt cold in his heart.

The ground was black and covered with oil. Just now, because of the first fire, no one found the fire oil on the ground. After the oil was ignited, it slowly spread and spread, followed by the fire to the back kitchen of the county school, the school building, and the students' dormitories.

Finished Bird! Finished Bird! Even if the gods came, the fire could not be extinguished.

Sweat dripped down Qin Li's head.

"Long entrusted, Long entrusted, quickly take someone down, notify all the students to come out for me, don't want anything, leave the county school quickly!" At this critical moment, Qin Li immediately made a decision and ordered.

Long Deyou was beside Qin Li, he was immediately stunned, looked at Qin Li blankly, and saw that Qin Li was calm at this time, and what he said was categorical. Long Deyou said secretly, it's over, all the hard work of these days has been burned.

But Long Deyou also knew very well that Qin Li's approach was right, except for this method, there was really no way at this time. Do you rely on the loadloads of water that are sent to put out the fire? Or organize all the students to carry water to fight the fire? But how can there be so many burdens in the county school?

Long Deyou didn't dare to hesitate, and ordered the people with a cold face.

For a while, the county school was lively, in fact, most of those students were also watching the fire at this time. At this time, they all knew the seriousness of the fire, and they rushed towards the gate of the county school.

At this time, everyone knows that nothing matters, only life is precious. If you run a little late, you may be surrounded by fire and burned to death in the fire.

After all, the fire oil in the Ming Dynasty was different from the current diesel and gasoline, and it burned very slowly. It's just that once it catches up, it is a blazing flame, and the choking people can't breathe.

It was the first time for Lin Yan'er and Qimeng to see such a fire, and at this time, they understood Qin Li's mood very well, and followed Qin Li closely, without anyone speaking.

Speaking of retreat and escape, everyone was not far behind, and before the tea was ready, everyone in the county school ran outside the gate of the county school, far away from the fire, and left the place where there was fire oil on the ground.

As the teacher of the county school, Qin Li naturally wanted to be the last to leave.

At this time, he also had his little wife Lin Yan'er by his side, the big beauty Qimeng, and the little scholar Liu Feng, who entrusted Long Deyou. Tang Bohu and the others were all timid people, and besides, they were all old people, Qin Li had already arranged for someone to send them out of the gate.

It was still the Italian Matteo Ricci, who had been by Qin Li's side, and he looked at the fire with an extremely thin cheek, and said, "Lord Qin, in fact, as long as there is enough water to dilute the fire oil, this fire can still be saved." ”

"Huh! Mr. Matteo Ricci, don't say anything, where do you get so much water? Withdraw, someone will have everything. This time the county school was burned, and the official wants to rebuild the county school, but the official doesn't believe it, and the official can't afford to run the county school? I want to see how difficult it is to do something in this Daming? ”

Qin Li said very casually, but there was obviously a kind of confidence in his tone that he would not admit defeat and give up.

One last glance at the fire, the fire had almost doubled, and the distance from the school, kitchen, and dormitory was still more than forty steps.

Qin Li thought, after a stick of incense, the entire county school would be a sea of fire!

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he smiled coldly, turned to everyone and said, "Let's go and watch the fire outside the gate, this is also a very spectacular and happy thing!" ”

When he spoke like this, Lin Yan'er's tears almost fell.

As Qin Li's wife, she knew how much hard work and sweat Qin Li had put in for the county school, but it was such a fire that completely destroyed the county school. She could hear it, although Qin Li didn't care about what he said, but there was endless bitterness and helplessness in those words.

The group slowly walked out of the county school and arrived outside the gate.

Under the clear moonlight, Qin Li saw Zheng Yunlin of Jiangdu Zhixian County at first glance, but saw Zheng Yunlin's gloomy face. Behind him is Li Bo, the county prince, Huang Tian, the chief bookkeeper, and a group of servants in the county government.

There was such a big fire in the county school, Zheng Yunlin had already seen it in the county government, as the governor of Jiangdu County, Zheng Yunlin was also scared enough, and quickly summoned everyone in the county government to rush to the county school.

Li Bo and Huang Tian were both listless, bowing their heads, obviously they were feeling sorry for Qin Li at this time. After all, both of them are Qin Li's people, and they are bent on thinking that Qin Li can successfully run the county school!

Qin Li glanced at Zheng Yunlin slightly, and turned his head away, as if he didn't see him.

Zheng Yunlin smiled coldly, walked forward slowly, and said sharply, "Qin Li, Lord Qin, this is the county school you run, and now the fire is soaring and destroyed, what else do you have to say?" This official is going to the prefect to impeach you for dereliction of duty, hum! You're just waiting to go to jail! ”
