Chapter 24: Hospitality

"yes, okay." Zhu Yuanyuan didn't know Begonia's thoughts, she still had reservations about Begonia, she wouldn't question Begonia's words, but she would secretly observe and test.

"So what do we do next?" Haitang moved his body, "Why don't you set a fire and burn the rope, and we can get out." ”

"No, we were kidnapped, and if we escaped and were found out, we would be suspected of arson, but we were tied up here, and it wouldn't be on our heads if it burned outside."

"That's right, how to set fire when you're tied up, it's definitely not up to us, Second Young Grandma, you're really smart." Haitang looked at Zhu Yuanyuan with a little excitement.

Zhu Yuanyuan looked at the door with a strange face, and wisps of black smoke slowly drifted in, "I hope I won't be suffocated to death by the smoke." ”

"Will it?"

"Yes, when there is more and more smoke, we will be suffocated." Zhu Yuanyuan looked at the door worriedly.

"So what to do?" Begonia looked at the black smoke drifting in, and began to worry, I heard her father say that when catching rabbits, they would also use smoke, and now they have become smoked rabbits, and their brains hurt.

Zhu Yuanyuan looked at the black smoke at the door, fell into deep thought, she used the method of ignition for the first time, the flame was as big as a soybean, and the second time it was as small as a mung bean, she thought it was the reason for the short time gap, but now it has been half a month apart, and it has not recovered the size of soybeans, but ten thousand mung beans are still small, and if it is smaller, it is not a fire, but a spark.

Zhu Yuanyuan didn't know anything about this, and she didn't understand why at all, this question was beyond her knowledge.

"Second young grandmother, there are more and more cigarettes, what should I do?"

Haitang's words brought Zhu Yuanyuan back to her senses, she looked up at the black smoke hovering over the top of the secret room, and said, "Squat down." ”

Zhu Yuanyuan bent her knees and moved her body down, and Begonia did the same, squatting down and burying her mouth and nose in her knees.

Zhu Yuanyuan listened to the movement outside with her ears sideways, the screaming had stopped, now it was the sound of shouting for fire, Zhu Yuanyuan was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to call for help, when the sound outside was noisy and there were more and more people, Zhu Yuanyuan began to shout for help.

"Help, someone!"

Begonia didn't need to say hello, and shouted for help at the top of her voice.

"Help!"

"Someone! Help me! ”

The people outside heard Zhu Yuanyuan and Haitang's cries for help, but they suddenly quieted down and silently put out the fire.

"Why is there no sound outside, no one?" Begonia thought it was strange.

", it's all their own people out there, and no one wants to let us out."

"That's... Are we still shouting for help? ”

"Save some effort, wait until no one comes, I'll take you out."

Looking at Zhu Yuanyuan, who was domineering and exposed, Haitang believed in her heart that they would soon be able to escape.

The fire broke out at night, and the firelight was particularly eye-catching, and people nearby came out to watch from afar, and the firelight also attracted the Han family who were looking for Zhu Yuanyuan.

Wangcai was knocked unconscious before pushing down the carriage, a little injured, fainted not long before he woke up, he looked at the direction of the traces of the carriage ruts, looked all the way, found Zhu Yuanyuan's hairpin, until there were more footprints on a road, and there were ox cart prints, there was no way to find it anymore, Wangcai went back to report the news.

It has been a lot of time since the Han family sent people out to search, and it was dark, so it was even more difficult to find, so I could only ask village by village, and at this time, suddenly there was a Zhuangzi who was on fire, attracting the Han family's subordinates to investigate.

The door of the grange where the fire broke out was closed, the fire was shining in the sky but no chaotic voices could be heard, and it was so quiet as if nothing had happened, and the Han family felt suspicious, so they sent a person to climb over the wall and open the door.

The people in the grange went to put out the fire, the Han family and his party rushed to the fire as if they were in a no-man's land, and the tenants nearby had already come to knock on the door, but no one responded, and they didn't dare to knock on the door to enter, and now the Han family opened the door and went in, and they also had the courage to follow in.

Dozens of people suddenly rushed in, and the people in the grange stopped them in a panic.

"Who are you? How did you break in? ”

"Don't look at what kind of place this is, this is the private property of Wu County Order, you..." A steward swallowed his saliva, and suddenly he couldn't say any more, the county order had been hung up, and he didn't know whose power it was if he wanted to fight the dog, the backers had fallen, and the steward wanted to cry without tears.

"Yo, it's Wu Renxing's grange, hey, isn't this the county order's brother-in-law Hu Song." Steward Han was about to say a few words to Hu Song, and a sturdy subordinate pulled his clothes and said, "Butler, someone is shouting for help, it's a woman." ”

There was a girl in the tenant who was a girl here, and her eyes were red, and she rushed over, pulling a subordinate to ask who was trapped, and the subordinate was glared at by Hu Song, and bowed his head and did not dare to speak.

Steward Han's eyes widened and he glanced at Hu Song and the others, and said strangely: "If you don't go to save people, what are you stopping us from doing here." ”

Hu Song and the rest of the subordinates all had empty eyes, but Hu Song still pulled his neck stiffly and said: "It's just two cheap girls, it's none of your business to save it or not, hurry up and let me go, otherwise I will sue you for trespassing on the house." ”

Hu Song's words aroused the anger of the public, they were usually called and drunk when they worked, and now they are even more blatantly contemptuous of the lives of their subordinates, and they all feel the same attitude of being despised and a fire rises in their hearts.

Zhu Yuanyuan and Haitang's cries for help were faint, and the housekeeper couldn't tell if it was the person he was looking for, but he didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered: "If you don't save it, we will save it, you go and help put out the fire and save people." ”

"Don't go." Hu Song opened his hands and stopped the people of the Han family, "Stop them quickly." ”

The dozen or so subordinates brought by Steward Han were all powerful, Hu Song and those subordinates couldn't stop them at all, plus there were more than 20 tenants, how could a dozen or so people stop dozens of people.

The tenants helped to pour water to put out the fire, and together they extinguished the fire at the point where they called for help, removing the charred wood and debris to reveal the staircase that went down.

The cry for help was much clearer, and the Han family hurriedly walked to the basement, and saw that Zhu Yuanyuan and Haitang were tied to a pillar, and a lot of water was flowing on the ground, so they quickly cut the rope and helped them escape.

Fortunately, the fire is not very big, before Hu Song promptly commanded his subordinates to pour water to fight the fire, and most of it has been extinguished, but the smoke is relatively large.

"Hu Song, this is the second young grandmother of my Han family, how could she be tied up in your basement? You are in the grange of the county order, doing murder and arson, does Wu County order him know? You have to give our Han family an explanation, otherwise our Han family will go to Governor Lin's mansion to sue you, you can't eat and walk around, this is the grange of Wu County Order, and he can't get rid of it, hum. ”

Those tenants extinguished the fire and didn't leave, they stayed to see the excitement, and when they heard that it was the second young grandmother of the Han family, they looked at Hu Song's eyes wrong, with contempt, and flashed with the brilliance of gossip.

Zhu Yuanyuan and Begonia were so smoked that their tears couldn't stop dripping down, and they kept coughing, looking pitiful, and they won the sympathy of the tenants at once.

In front of everyone's eyes, everyone got the stolen goods, Hu Song knew that he couldn't deny it, gritted his teeth, and said: "I don't know what's going on, I just came here to stay for a few days, but I didn't expect my brother-in-law to invite the second young grandmother of the Han family to be a guest." ”

Steward Han laughed angrily, "Guest? Tied with a rope in the basement as a guest? How hospitable is your family? ”
