Zuo Shaoyang was panting with half a bucket of water, and Miao Peilan quickly caught up with him, snatched the bucket from him, and ran forward with him. Zuo Shaoyang knew that her strength was far greater than his own, and he didn't fight with her.

The two rushed through an alley and were running, when more than a dozen men ran in the distance, and when they saw them, they shouted in surprise: "Xiao Langzhong! Perran! ”

The two looked at each other, but the leader was Li Dazhuang, the son of Aunt Li of Laohuai Village. Miao Peilan hurriedly said, "Brother Li, where are you going?" ”

"We're going to Guizhi Hall! My mother said that she wanted us to come to Guizhitang to protect Zuo Langzhong and them. Coincidentally, I met you in Xiaolangzhong, how about it? You okay? ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Our pharmacy is fine at the moment, you don't have to go, come with me to fight the fire, this fire can't be saved, and it will burn to our pharmacy!" ”

Li Dazhuang and the others hurriedly agreed, and followed the two of them to run forward again.

They rushed to the apricot alley where the Qingxiang tea shop was located, which was already a sea of fire, and there were already many people here carrying buckets to put out the fire, but under the rising flames, they couldn't get into it at all, although they were carrying water in their hands, they couldn't splash it to put out the fire. I was so anxious that I shouted and screamed.

Zuo Shaoyang's anxious eyes searched through the crowd, and finally, he saw Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin, who were busy moving things out of the tea shop with Father Sang, Mother Sang and Sang Wazi.

Seeing that she was still safe, Zuo Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the house on fire was four or five houses away from the Qingxiang Tea Shop, and there were only scattered people around to save lives, and he didn't see the water dragon team of Yamen that specialized in fighting fires.

Now the fire is too fierce, there is no way to come forward to save the fire, so I can only remove the isolation belt to stop the fire from spreading!

The burning row of houses was next to the river, one after the other, so just demolishing one or two of the houses facing Guizhitang would stop the fire from spreading in this direction. Zuo Shaoyang pointed to the houses that were two separate from the burning house, and said to Miao Peilan and Li Dazhuang: "Let's quickly demolish this house and remove the isolation belt!" ”

This is the most commonly used means of firefighting in ancient times, almost all of them were wooden houses or brick and wood structure houses in ancient times, and it was easy to burn a street or even half a city after a fire. In the absence of fire-fighting equipment and backward fire-fighting conditions, demolishing the house and marking out the isolation zone has become the most effective and commonly used method. The reason why no one is doing this now is because the rebels are besieging the city, and there is chaos in the city, and there is no one to command.

And Miao Peilan, Li Dazhuang and more than a dozen other people obeyed Zuo Shaoyang's arrangement, and as soon as they heard this, they immediately rushed to the house and began to find tools to tear down the walls and cut the columns. Although the owner of this house was crying and watching, he did not dare to stop it, because he also knew that there was no way, and if the house was demolished, there would be some left, and if it was burned, there would be nothing.

Miao Peilan rushed to the front, and when she came over, she had already seen the structure of the house, found the location of the main column supporting the beam, flew up with one kick, and kicked a wooden board next to the column, and a few more kicks, kicked out two big holes on both sides of the column, and raised the firewood knife in her hand to slash. As long as this column is broken, at most one or two other supporting columns are removed, the beam at the top of the house loses its balance support, and the weight of the beam plus the weight of the green tile of the roof will cause the roof to fall under the action of gravity. This is the fastest way to demolish a house.

Li Dazhuang had no tools in his hands, so he could only kick the wall with his feet, and several men rushed into the house, found hoes, maces, kitchen knives and other tools, and smashed and chopped them together.

Zuo Shaoyang threw away the bucket in his hand and rushed into the house, also wanting to find a knife and axe or something like to demolish the house, at this time, the thick smoke formed by the burning of the adjacent house had enveloped the entire fire, and the things in the house that were rushed by the owner had already been turned into a mess, where to find tools for a while.

When he looked down in a panic, the house was already creaking, and the roof tiles were falling down. Knowing that the house was about to fall, he wanted to run out, but at this moment, something was mixed under his feet, and he fell down on all fours, and with a bang, the back of his head hit an iron pot that fell on the ground.

He struggled to get up, staggering to get out, but the fall was so bad that he couldn't find his way out of his head, and there was black smoke all around, so choking that he couldn't keep coughing and couldn't open his eyes.

At this moment, I heard Miao Peilan's hissing shout: "Brother Zuo! Brother Zuo, where are you? ”

Zuo Shaoyang was surprised and shouted, "I'm ...... "Cough cough cough" smoke inhaled, coughing violently.

Immediately, a black shadow rushed in like a whirlwind, pounced on him, and hugged him: "Big Brother Zuo! ”

This black shadow is Miao Peilan, it turns out that Miao Peilan has already cut off the most important pillar in this time, as soon as she turned around, she couldn't see Zuo Shaoyang, she knew that as soon as the pillar was broken, the house would soon collapse, so frightened that her heart was about to jump out, and exclaimed: "Brother Zuo!" Brother Zuo, where are you? ”

After screaming twice, I heard Zuo Shaoyang's answer and a violent cough from the house. She immediately rushed into the house like crazy, saw Zuo Shaoyang in the smoke, and was so happy that she threw herself into it and hugged him desperately.

Hearing Miao Peilan's voice with a crying tone, Zuo Shaoyang has always heard her laughter, this is the first time to hear her voice, and it is for himself, Zuo Shaoyang's heart is warm, at this moment he is hugging her little waist, nephrite is warm and fragrant, but unfortunately it is not the time to be warm.

Miao Peilan hugged Zuo Shaoyang, grabbed him and turned around and ran out. As he ran, he turned around and shouted into the smoke-filled house, "Is there anyone else in the house?" Get out of here! The house is falling! They screamed twice, but no one answered, and the two rushed out of the room.

When they came to the house, Li Dazhuang and the others cut off two more pillars, smashed the wooden planks of the wall, and finally the house creaked and collapsed. Miao Peilan hurriedly pulled Zuo Shaoyang and ran away.

Unexpectedly, the house was crooked but did not fall down completely, the original back corner was hung by the eaves of the house on the other side, leaned on the top of the house, shook a few times, and fell down the tiles in a sloppy manner, but did not fall down again!

Everyone was dumbfounded, the tilted house was too close to the adjacent house in the direction of the fire, there was not enough distance to be left behind, as long as the fire burned, it would soon ignite the tilting house and continue to spread!

By this time, the fire had already ignited the neighboring house, and the fire was so fierce that it was so far away that it was so hot that people could not breathe, and they could not get in and cut off the other pillars to collapse the house.

Li Dazhuang pointed to the supporting house and said, "Tear down this one, right?" ”

At this moment, two big men rushed over with kitchen knives in their hands like crazy, waving them and shouting, "Who dares to dismantle it?" Whoever dares to demolish my house, I will hack him to death! ”

Li Dazhuang said angrily: "If you don't open the gap, the fire will burn over, and it will be all over!" ”

The big man roared with red eyes like madness: "I don't care! Whoever dares to come up anyway, I will hack him to death! ”

Another big man also roared: "My mother is still in the house!" If you want to die, come here! ”

Zuo Shaoyang was so anxious that he was turning, and at this moment, he was patted on the shoulder.

Zuo Shaoyang turned his head sharply, and saw a woman in white standing behind him, her hair fluttering, and her face covered with a silk handkerchief, but her body and clothes could still be immediately identified as Bai Zhihan. In his hand he was holding a bundle of thick rope the size of his thumb.

It turned out that Bai Zhihan had been following them, and the men who saw her on the road were shocked by her beauty, and they all looked at her in a daze, and even forgot to put out the fire. She stood in the distance and watched Zuo Shaoyang and them fighting the fire, seeing that the house couldn't fall, she was also helping to find a way, the ground was full of firefighting and rescued objects, and when she saw a circle of hemp rope, she had an idea in her heart, picked it up and ran over and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang hasn't come back to his senses yet: "What are you doing?" ”

Bai Zhihan didn't say anything, just pointed to the leaning house.

Zuo Shaoyang said angrily: "I'll ask you!" ”

Bai Zhi said coldly: "You didn't let me speak!" ”

"I ask you something, you can say it!"

"Tie this rope to the top of the pillar and pull it hard, and the house will fall!"

Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed, thinking to himself why I didn't expect this idea, so he took it and said thank you casually.

Bai Zhihan said lightly: "No thanks! Be careful yourself! ”

"Okay!" Zuo Shaoyang thought that this cold big plate tooth would still care about people, but he couldn't think of Bai Zhihan's next sentence, and almost choked him to death: "--Be careful not to die, otherwise no one will save my grandfather!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was so angry that his head smoked, stared at Bai Zhihan and said viciously: "Then why don't you quickly kowtow and beg God to bless me with a long life?" ”

Bai Zhi snorted coldly and turned her head.

Zuo Shaoyang ran to the inclined house with the rope, and just after running a few steps, he was snatched by Miao Peilan, who had caught up: "I'll go!" ”

She took the rope and braved the blazing flames to roast and rushed to the bottom of the sloping house, but she could climb trees, but she couldn't climb the wall, and she didn't have the kung fu to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and was looking around for a place to climb, Zuo Shaoyang rushed over: "Give me the rope, I have a way!" ”

He snatched back the rope, grabbed a hammer from the ground, tied it with the rope, took a few steps back, rounded it in the air, and threw it upward, and the rope flew up, but it hit the eaves and fell again, and failed to entangle the column.

Retracted, this time with experience, it flew out again, and finally wrapped itself around the girder column above, and pulled it violently, and it was tightened.

Everyone stepped forward to tie the rope together, shouting in unison, and heard a chaotic sound of the house, and the sound of the force collapsing was endless. Finally, with a bang, the whole house collapsed!
