Chapter 785: The Fire
"Don't forget to throw that slut at the entrance of the village after the deed is done, so that everyone in the village can see it." Shen Lixia advised.
"Don't worry!"
The three men will not pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, take the money to do things, Shen Lixia lit the fire, the northwest wind blew at night, the fire slowly became bigger, and the smoke was billowing out, but the Shen family had not lived for a long time, and it was the third watch in the middle of the night, and the villagers who had worked all day were very sleepy, and they did not notice the fire.
The Shen family's house is not a single house, but an old house with half brick and half wood, it is an old house bought by Huang Fengxian from the people who moved from the village, there are many people next to each other, and they are all old houses with brick and wood structures, once one family catches fire, the other dozen or so families will suffer.
Shen Lixia stood outside the door, looking at the gradually growing fire, and began to panic, Shen Yuzhu told him that he would start shouting when the house was halfway burned, attracting the attention of the villagers and creating opportunities for the three gangsters.
But now, Shen Lixia couldn't wait to burn halfway, he was afraid that he would not have time to escape at that time, and he would die if he was caught by the villagers.
Therefore, after only a third of the fire, Shen Lixia couldn't stand it anymore and began to shout, "It's on fire, come and put out the fire!" ”
The yelling was unusually harsh in the middle of the night, a dog began to bark, and then the dogs of the whole village barked, the movement was too loud, the sleeping villagers were awakened, and the two families next to the Shen family were the first to notice that something was wrong, the smoke was billowing and the smell of scorching, and the fool knew that it was a fire.
These two families were so frightened that they didn't have time to put on their clothes, and ran out barefoot, one of them was Huang Shilin's family, that is, the one who was going to give the eldest son Huang Baomin a banquet after a while, and Huo Jinzhi grabbed the potato field.
Huang Shilin was only wearing a single coat, and his wife Yu Mengdi, who was also wearing a single coat, ran out in a panic, and saw the fire that reflected the red night sky, Huang Shilin felt a sigh in his heart, and hurriedly ran back to the yard to get a bucket of water, Yu Mengdi rushed home like crazy, and came out with a basket of cigarettes after a while.
"Baomin, go and lift the sewing machine, take out everything you can!"
Yu Mengdi shouted frantically, in a few days, she had to hold a wedding wine, cigarettes and candy gifts, all of which were ready, exhausted her family's savings, and borrowed a lot of debts, planning to collect money to pay off the debts when she was going to hold a banquet.
The other people also woke up and ran out in a panic, and when they saw the fire getting bigger and bigger, they didn't need to be greeted, they took the pots and the buckets and fetched water to put out the fire.
But at this time, Mopan Mountain has not yet opened tap water, all the well water is used, and not every household has a well, generally a dozen or so families share a well, or go to the mountain to draw mountain spring water, in general, Mopan Mountain is not a village with particularly rich water resources.
Moreover, the northwest wind that blew tonight, the fire that was finally extinguished, the wind blew and became fierce, and it couldn't be controlled, and the partial Huangshilin family happened to be in the north of the Shen family, and the fire spread to the Huangshilin family.
What's even more unfortunate is that the warehouse where Huang Shilin's family places things is the one closest to the Shen family, and Huang Shilin's family watched the fire tongue roll out of the warehouse, but they couldn't do anything.
"Who can help, there are still a lot of things that have not been taken out, they are all used to protect the people for marriage, and the family's money has been spent...... Gotta take it out......"
Yu Mengdi was like crazy, regardless of the fire and wanted to rush in to rescue things, but was dragged by Huang Shilin's father and son.
