Chapter 11 Fire
After speaking, Tong Hang realized that the demon girl actually snored slightly. When the two maids came up, they saw that Li Qiaoqiao was asleep, so they gently took a silk quilt from the next room, gently covered her, and then stood silently aside.
I don't know how long it took, Tong Hang heard footsteps and hurriedly opened his eyes. Somehow it was dark, and the hall was lit with butter candles. A maid came over with a basin. Seeing that he woke up, he hurriedly stopped, turned his head and said, "Miss, he is awake." ”
"Hmph, splash when you wake up!" I only heard Li Qiaoqiao's puffing voice.
With a "bang", the maid splashed a basin of water in her hand. Even though it's April, it's still cold. In ancient times, there was no industrial pollution of the atmosphere, and the ozone layer should be intact. I wore a lot of clothes on my body, but the water was a little uncomfortable when I splashed on my body. Why is this water still greasy and greasy, with the smell of fragrant powder? Wash your face?
The maid stepped back, but saw Li Qiaoqiao sitting at the table eating slowly. Seeing him look over, he said, "I'm talking to you, you actually sleep with me, is this where you sleep?" ”
Tong Hang couldn't help but feel a little angry, although he had the experience of being in his twenties, coming here and experiencing violent trampling and beating, but how could this twelve-year-old body bear it? Watching you sleep, and snoring, my eyelids are as heavy as Mount Tai, I, why can't I sleep? What's going on here? You're fourteen or fifteen years old, and I'm not only twelve? What can I do with you? Don't forget, I'm tied up by you!
"Can't tell, can you? Even if you have a conscience, you know what to lose. Seeing that he lowered his head and didn't make a sound, Li Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"Little ...... Miss, what do you see over there? A maid ran up downstairs, pointed to the window behind Li Qiaoqiao and said anxiously, "Is it on fire?" ”
When everyone in the hall heard this, they flocked to the window. Tong Hang also raised his head, and couldn't help but be stunned, where is this burning? I saw that the fire over there was half the sky, and it must be on fire, but I couldn't see where the backyard was on fire. I wanted to run to the window to look, but I was tied up again.
"Miss, it's the house in Guiyuan that's on fire."
The three or four girls stood by the window and chattered, but none of them thought of putting out the fire, as if it was not their Li family that was burned. There was the sound of people shouting and running from the Guiyuan, and some people were knocking on the wooden basin and shouting for firefighting.
"I don't know which row of houses it is."
"Little ...... Miss, look like that...... Looks, like an old ...... The old lady's attic. ”
"Shut up!"
"Probably the house behind the attic."
"Miss, let's take a look."
Li Qiaoqiao was also anxious, I didn't know if my mother's attic was on fire, and said anxiously: "Come with me to have a look." ”
Tong Hang is in a hurry, which row is the kitchen? I and my live in that long row, those houses are rammed with one-person high earthen walls, on top of which are bamboo and wood structures, it is easy to catch fire, one is on fire, as long as the fire is not put out in time, a long row will be burned out. Not to mention the dry April. He was so anxious that he shouted, "Third Miss, where is the fire?" ”
"I don't know." Li Qiaoqiao ran towards the stairs with the maid.
"Third Miss, let go of me, I'm going to put out the fire." Tong Hang was in a hurry. Although are not their own mothers, since they crossed over, especially when they were seriously injured and bedridden, her meticulous care like a mother has allowed her to be touched and attached by family affection in this strange world.
"What kind of fire do children fight, don't make a mess." A maid shouted. They rushed downstairs, heard them beckoning the maids downstairs to go with them, and slowly heard their noisy voices gradually disappearing.

Li Qiaoqiao led a group of maids through the backyard atrium, but saw a pot of porridge in the Guiyuan, and people ran around.
"Miss, it's the long row of houses in the kitchen." I saw the light of the fire reflected through the attic window, and it was bright red, as if the attic was also on fire.
"It's not an attic. Let's take a look at the back. Li Qiaoqiao commanded.
The crowd walked through the attic and came to the back row of bamboo and wooden houses. These old bamboo and wood roofs, in this dry April, I saw these bamboo and wood burning crackling. The backyard was inhabited by maids and old mothers, and at this time they were all cowering into a ball, and it was a fantasy to rely on them to fight the fire. What's more, the fire is raging, and it feels uncomfortable to roast when you get closer, let alone put out the fire.
"Let's, let's!" Steward Li rushed over with the guards in the front yard, and he shouted in a loud voice: "Laifu, you take someone to snatch out the things in the small few rooms." Come on, you fetch water to fight the fire! A group of people dispersed in a hurry, and most of them went to grab the wooden basin and barrel in the hand of the old maid and ran to the well in front of the kitchen.
"Mother." Li Qiaoqiao saw the old lady coming out of the attic, and hurriedly took the maid to greet her.
"You're restless." The old lady looked at the little daughter dotingly and said, "Go back quickly, this fire is not good-looking." What if you touch Mars and get hot? ”
"No, mother, it's stuffy in the attic, I want to see it here."
"Madame, please go down to the attic with Mademoiselle, it's dangerous here." Butler Li stood next to them at some point.
"Donglin, let them pay attention to it, grab things if they can, don't force them if they can't." The old lady said again: "If something is destroyed, it will be destroyed, don't hurt anyone." ”
"Madame, I'll go and command." Butler Li hurriedly ran away. Li's housekeeper's name is Li Donglin, and he is a remote branch of the Li family. When he was at the old lady's house, he came with his father and was taken in by the old lady. Butler Li was arranged to serve the master at that time and became the master's playmate. Later, the master was in charge, and the big playmate was promoted to the chief butler.
"Don't wait, Laishou, you take some people to the lotus pond to scoop water!" Li Er's housekeeper also led a group of people to run over, and saw that most of the people were crowded by the well. "Don't be afraid to fight the fire, the second son said, but there are injured people, the second son pays for the soup and medicine, and the salary will not be less than one of you during the medical treatment! Each person who participated in the firefighting tonight was given ten wen. ”
When everyone heard this, they cheered, and they all fought bravely. When the old lady heard this, she was silent. When the old man left, he handed over all the affairs of the outer house to Li Xunzhou, and he himself expressed doubts, but the old man said that the kid had this ability. Now it seems that the wild seed of the cheap life is a little clever, and he knows that he has won people's hearts, and it seems that he has to deal with it carefully.
"Ma'am." Xiao Cui called out weakly, "Madam." ”
"Cui'er, what's wrong?" The old lady saw Xiao Cui's eyes begging for help, tears rolled in her eyes, and she hurriedly asked.
"I ...... and don't know Xu ...... and Ba'er, they ...... Go out...... Did you come out? Xiao Cui finally cried out and was out of control. , Ba'er, have you come out?
"Did the wake up in the afternoon?" The old lady asked, "Don't cry Cui'er, didn't I ask you to come and see it in the afternoon?" ”
"When I left in the afternoon, ...... Still...... Didn't wake up. Ba'er is boiling porridge. Xiao Cui finally stopped crying and replied with sobs.
That didn't wake up? Well, well burned! When you took the opportunity of me going back to my mother's house and climbed into the master's bed, did you ever think that there would be today? Your bastard was pushed into the pond, or did I help extinguish that little Jane's mouth? Oh my God, you've finally opened your eyes!
