Chapter 138: The Coming Storm (8)
As they left, the mansion behind them lit up half of the sky with a sky-high red fire, and the flames unbridled its minions and devoured everything, and the crimson flames were painted black everywhere they passed.
"Fight the fire! Walk the water! Gone out of the water!! Finally, a watchman saw the fire and rang the gong in his hand.
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
The rapid sound of gongs startled the neighborhood.
"Quick! Fight the fire!! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
"Fire fighting......"
"The water is frozen! What to do!! ”
"Go fetch water !!"
People were in a mess, crying and screaming.
The fire went mad, scurrying around with the wind, slowly approaching the nearby houses.
"Oh my house! Hurry up and put out the fire! You're a ball! The house is about to burn down!! A man barefoot, with a heartache, watched as the fire slowly approached his house, shouted at the people around him, and dragged the man with the bucket of water.
Helplessly, the buckets of water splashed on it were like pouring a glass of water in the desert, and it didn't work at all.
As soon as the water met the fire, it immediately turned into smoke, and the tongue of fire was like a dragon, dancing wildly, and the nearby houses were touched, and the scene soon turned into a sea of fire.
The roof tiles were roasted by the fire, and there was a violent explosion, and the broken tiles flew like hailstones.
The people who were close were smashed and injured in an instant, and there was a lot of wailing, and when people saw this, they dared to put out the fire, and they fled from the fire one after another, and no one dared to approach.
When Bai Pang of the City Lord's Mansion heard the news, he commanded his men to put out the fire, and ordered people to dig up several truckloads of sand and soaked quilts.
Cover the flames with sand, lay quilts on the eaves of the houses near the fire, and pour buckets of water on them.
The firefighting continued until the sky was slightly bright, the wind gradually subsided, and the smoke filled the sky, and the smokers could not open their eyes.
"My lord, none of them survived, they were all burned to death." Bale reported.
"Hmm......" Bai Pang nodded with a calm face, and then went to comfort the injured people who were fighting the fire with a sad face.
Bai Pang is full of style, taking the initiative to bear all the expenses of the injured, not to mention, and compensating them, for those whose houses were implicated in the burning, Bai Pang also made a promise, and the city lord's mansion will build new houses for them.
"Bai will naturally not sit idly by, and the City Lord's Mansion will not sit idly by, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this fire!" Give you an explanation! "Bai Pang's righteous words are righteous.
When the people who had been busy for most of the night heard this, they were naturally grateful to Bai Pang, and they all sighed that the city lord of their Fengshan City was a good person, and they were wrong to blame him before.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Bai Pang did not rush to leave, but placed all the people in the mansion in Yizhuang, and said some touching words, and returned to the city lord's mansion surrounded by everyone.
"This Fei family doesn't know what to do, to suffer this kind of tragedy, so many people, all of them are living people! Hey......" A barefoot man sighed as he looked at the desolate Fei family's mansion.
"You lament what they do! If it weren't for the fire in their house, would they be able to implicate the people around us, now it's good! Everything burned down! There is no place to find them for compensation!! Hmph, I can't get used to them on weekdays, and they are all arrogant! Now it's okay, it's damned! Another bearded man snorted, looking at the burnt black mansion with a hint of schadenfreude on his face.
"You can't say that, there are so many human lives, and they haven't done anything that hurts heaven and reason, and their crimes don't lead to death! You can't say that! Ineffable!! The barefoot man hurriedly bowed to the mansion, and said Mo Wei Mo Mo ......
"Your home is burned down! And speak for them! You see you've even run away from your shoes, what can they do for you? In the end, it wasn't for the mercy of the city lord, otherwise we would all have frozen to death on the streets! Bazihu pursed his lips, very disdainful of the barefoot man's words.
"Oops, didn't you notice something was wrong?" A lean man approached.
"Found what?" I don't know what to do.
"Those people were obviously not burned to death! I've seen people burned to death before, all with teeth and claws, and it's ......terrifying," the lean man lowered his voice, "and they were probably ...... before the fire," he said, making a motion to wipe his neck.
"Don't talk nonsense! The city lord said that he would investigate, and we ordinary people just need to be fed and clothed, and we can't control this kind of thing! "The barefoot man moves his feet," and as soon as he stops, it starts to get cold! I'll go first......"
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
"Let's disperse, we haven't slept all night, sleepy!" Bazihu stretched his waist and went to the inn that Bai Pang arranged for them.
"I'm telling the truth! They don't look like they've been burned to death at all! Cut...... If you don't believe it, forget it," he said, and trotted all the way home.
The crowd dispersed one after another, and those who were not far away glanced at the mansion and disappeared at the end of the street.
The fire soon caused an uproar in the city, and there were many rumors that Fei Zhai did not know who he had offended, and he was killed and destroyed.
Bai Pang naturally did not let this rumor ferment, and released the report of the autopsy, saying that the people in the Fei family's mansion were fainted by the thick smoke, and they were burned to death without resistance.
At the same time, Bai Pang was constantly building houses for those who had lost their homes, and the people in the city discussed Bai Pang's great achievements after dinner.
In the Black Tiger Village, the two brothers who received the news were furious.
"I wrote from the other day! Why are they all dead now??? Fei Jin's eyes were red, and he smashed his fist on the pillar, "More than thirty people!" Can a fire burn all the people? ”
Fei Song was also red-eyed, looking at the letter in his hand over and over again, "This matter was handled by Bai Pang, and it was also the result of his announcement!" I suspect he has something to do with it! ”
With all his might, he was about to rush out.
"Second brother! Come back! Don't be impulsive! Faison got up and went to pull him.
"What for! If you let it go, that's our uncle! My cousins and cousins are gone!! How do you make me not impulsive! "It's hard to tear your eyes.
"What if you go? Who are you going to seek revenge? White Pang? Do you have proof? Fei Song's voice trembled, and his heart was also full of grief.
"Big Brother !!" Shouting hard.
"Now the city is full of white people, I'm afraid you haven't rushed to the city lord's mansion yet, and you will be caught by them!" Effortlessly reminded him.
"So what to do? Uncle, their bones are still in Yizhuang! We can't leave them alone......" said Francisco, crying.
"No, let's go to the city first to transport our uncle's body back, and then investigate the cause of their death! You can't be impulsive, if it's really Bai Pang, he dares to do this, naturally he is not afraid of being investigated, maybe, the old guy Pound can't move now. Grandfather's life on the other side of the country is not easy either......"
Fei Song said slowly, "Daddy and Grandfather shouldn't know yet, Grandfather has a hidden disease, if he knows, his body will definitely not be able to bear it!" ”
Fei Song pressed Fei Li back on the stool, "I'll go and explain, and we'll leave for the city in a moment." ”
After listening to Fei Song's words, he finally quieted down.
Jimi came in through the door, looking sad, and just as she wanted to speak, she fainted.
"Jimei!" Fei Song rushed over with an arrow step and picked Jimei up from the ground, "Quick! Second brother, go find Doctor Lian! ”
Nodding vigorously, he rushed out.
A moment later, Dr. Lian returned.
"Quick, Brother Lian, you can show Jimei quickly, what's wrong with her?" Fei Song gave up his place for Dr. Lian.
Doctor Lian touched Jimei's pulse, his expression changed and changed, and he checked his pulse back and forth three times.
Doctor Lian kept a calm face and motioned for Fei Song to go out with him.
"What's wrong? Even big brother? What happened to Jimi? Faison was heartbroken.
"It's Ximai!" Doctor Lian looked at Fei Song.
"Really?" Fei Song was a little excited.
Doctor Lian paused for a long time before he could speak.
"More than two months......"
Fei Song's heart sank suddenly, "You're not mistaken? ”
Doctor Lian shook his head, "I've seen it three times, and I'm sure I'm right!" ”
Fei Song took two or three steps back, "This...... How...... Probably ......"
Even the doctor sighed, Ji Mei had only been back for less than six days, and he had already thought of it, "Let her rest well!" She was weak and weak, so I went to prescribe two pairs of drugs for her. ”
"Big brother!" Struggled to walk around the corner.
"Did you hear it all?" Fei Song said lonely.
"I'll ask her what's going on!" Clenched his fists with great difficulty.
"I'll do it myself, it's my business! Give me a day, and we'll be in town early tomorrow morning!" Ferzon took a deep breath.
Nodding hard, his fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened.
Fei Song entered the room and looked at Jimei lying on the bed, his eyes were gentle, but his expression was very sad.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Fei Song grabbed her hand, his heart was confused, he desperately wanted to know what was going on.
Tears flowed from the corners of Jimei's eyes, and then she opened her eyes, "I'm sorry, Brother Song, I'm sorry!" ”
"Who is it? Tuck? Faison looked at her.
"I ...... I don't know...... They drugged me, and when I woke up, I was ...... It's already ......" Jimei couldn't cry, "I wanted to see you for the last time, but...... I can't bear to ......"
"You have a good rest, I'll come back to see you later!" Fesson covered her with a quilt and turned to leave the room.
Jimi closed her eyes in despair, crying silently.
Fezon took his weapon and prepared to descend the mountain.
"Big brother!" Fei Jin stopped him from behind.
Fei Song stopped and turned his head, "You're going to persuade me not to go?" ”
"Nope! I'll go with you! He struggled to carry his knife.
A woman ran out in her clothes.
Fei Song nodded, and with effort, the two went to Tayuan Village.
In the courtyard of a high-rise mansion in Tayuan Village, a strange sound came out.
With a dark face, Ferson and Painstaking sneak into Tucker's house.
