Chapter 46: The Raging Fire
In the flash of light, Xia Jinse had already thought of something, and couldn't help but sneer.
Cannonball, fire oil...... Such an obvious arrangement, it's ruthless, so vicious! If she hadn't been staring at her, if something really happened, it would have been too late to save people.
Xia Junping hadn't reacted yet, he was a little dazed in his wheelchair, Xia Jinse didn't have time to explain, and immediately said, "Brother, someone is going to harm you again, let's get out of here first." β
Xia Junping's face changed, and Shooting Moon walked over, pushed his wheelchair and followed behind Xia Jinse, and quickly went out. A few people did not stop, and quickly followed a path behind the house and hid in a bamboo forest next to them.
The bamboo here is densely growing, and a thick layer of withered yellow bamboo leaves is spread on the ground, but I am afraid that no one has cleaned it for several years. Usually, Xia Junping comes here at most, but at this moment, the mood is completely different.
"Miss, you and the eldest young master are waiting here, and the slave maid will go to the front to take a look." Shooting Moon said.
"Okay, be careful, don't get caught by them." Xia Jinse advised.
The figure flashed, and the shooting moon quickly disappeared in front of her, Xia Jinse was a little surprised by her light skills, it turned out that shooting the moon was not only good for hidden weapon kung fu, but also good for light skills. Thinking about chasing clouds, he said that his martial arts were not good, but he was also humble.
In the sound of the wind, the bamboo leaves rustle and the coolness is bursting.
Xia Jinse and Xia Junping didn't speak, just waited quietly. Mu Xiang stood at the front, anxiously looking forward to it, hoping that the moon would come back quickly.
Xia Jinse was also looking into the distance, Xia Junping secretly looked at her, he heard those words clearly just now, and only then did he realize that his sister Xia Jinse came to save him. I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people who want him to die, if it weren't for his sister, he would have died last time.
The hand clenched little by little, Xia Junping's face was shaking, as if he wanted to say something.
He just opened his mouth: "Sister......"
"Miss!" A voice came from a distance, interrupting Xia Junping's words.
The two slender figures moved quickly, and soon arrived in front of them, and it turned out that the moon was shooting back with chasing clouds.
As soon as he saw Xia Jinse, Chaiyun said: "Miss, there are already people pouring fire oil in the courtyard of the eldest young master, but they didn't go in, probably because they were afraid that the eldest young master would find out." The two subordinates who accompanied the second young master to play artillery battles also came, and it seemed that they wanted to use the second young master's hand to set fire to Mo Zhuxuan. β
And so it was!
Xia Jinse guessed this when he saw Xia Guangzong playing artillery battles.
Mu Xiang clenched her fists and said hatefully: "These people are so hateful, Miss, do you want to go out and arrest them?" Now that they have taken the stolen goods, send them to the master, and see how they quibble! β
Xia Jinse sneered, his eyes full of hatred: "Just grasping the current situation like this, wouldn't it cheapen them?" If you dare to harm others, you will have to pay the price! β
"Chasing clouds, you will ...... like this" Xia Jinse said a few words quickly.
"Yes, miss." Chasing Yun's eyes lit up and he went quickly.
β¦β¦
The entrance of Mozhuxuan.
The two subordinates led Xia Guangzong all the way, and finally arrived here.
"Second Young Master, there is Mo Zhuxuan in front." One of them pointed to the front and said with a smile, "This is the place where the eldest young master cultivates, the master said that you can't make noise, and you can't go in at will, so let's go back, right?" β
Holding a incense stick in his hand, Xia Guangzong is playing happily!
He was bouncing, wearing a round hat and a brocade coat embroidered with a little tiger, dressed like a wealthy young master. Touching the cannon in his pocket, he still has seven or eight unfinished, how can he just go back?
"Hmph, why can't you go in?" Instead of listening, Xia Guangzong picked up a cannonball, lit the fuse and threw it in.
Syllable!
A crisp explosion sounded, and a cloud of red confetti scattered in all directions, and the sound was extremely clear, even Xia Guangzong was startled.
But he laughed all at once, his eyes lit up with a blazing light, and a mischievous thought came to him, clapping his hands and laughing: "It's fun, it's fun!" Big brother must have been shocked, and I'm going to put another one to scare him. β
After saying that, he went to touch the cannon in his pocket again.
The two subordinates glanced at each other, a different color flashed in their eyes, and one of them deliberately persuaded: "No, second young master, if you disturb the eldest young master's recuperation, the master will know about it, and he will punish the second young master!" Let's go. β
"Dad loves me the most, so he won't punish me! That cripple, I'm going to scare him. Xia Guangzong didn't listen, and swaggered inside.
He was usually spoiled by the Zhao family and the Su family, and the two of them had never instilled in him the words of respecting his brother in front of him, so that he knew that Xia Junping was his brother, but he didn't care about it at all, but instead played tricks.
The two subordinates didn't stop him, followed him, watched Xia Guangzong light another cannonball, and threw it into the window, and the two hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.
One person quickly lit the torch and soon set the kitchen on fire, he quickly rushed out and motioned for the other person to take the second young master away.
The artillery exploded, but Xia Guangzong saw that there was no movement in the house, so he ran in: "Hey, is there no one inside?" As he ran, he was still holding a cannon in his hand, as if he wanted to find Xia Junping, and then startled him, not noticing that the kitchen was already burning.
In the courtyard, the subordinate who lit the fire hurriedly said: "Don't take the second young master out quickly, leave quickly!" β
Another subordinate looked at the fire in the kitchen and immediately looked into the house, for fear of being discovered by Xia Junping. But when he reached the door, there was a sudden explosion, and then a tongue of fire came out, and the entire door frame was on fire.
He stepped back in fright, and then remembered that someone had already poured fire oil around the house, and he was waiting for them to set it on fire.
But the second young master set off a cannonball, and it really burned the house doused with fire oil!
"Second Young Master, come out quickly!" He shouted anxiously.
Another subordinate was also worried, and ran over and shouted, "Second Young Master! Second Young Master...... Stop playing, come out, it's on fire! β
Sure enough, there was an exclamation from inside: "Ah! β
"It's on fire! Help me! Xia Guangzong's voice was full of fright.
When the two subordinates heard this, they wanted to rush in, but the house had already been poured with fire oil, and it was so hot in the blink of an eye that they couldn't get close at all. Seeing that everything was burning, the two had to retreat, terrified.
Oh no, if the second young master is burned to death in the house, they will definitely not survive! But let them go in to save people, it's impossible, the fire is too big!
"Don't call someone, put out the fire!"
The two of them didn't care about the task, and their frightened souls scattered, shouting 'on fire' and 'fire fighting', and ran out of Mo Zhuxuan like a fire burner.
The raging fire carried thick black smoke, like a black dragon flying into the sky, Zhao was drinking tea in the house, while talking to Xia Ruxue about the eldest prince, suddenly a girl hurriedly ran in, panicked: "Big lady, it's not good!" Mo Zhuxuan is gone! β
"What, Mo Zhuxuan is out of the water?" Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this, but a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, eldest lady, the eldest young master and the second young master are still inside!"
Like a blow to the head, Zhao's face changed, and he stood up: "What did you say?" Guangzong actually ...... Don't hurry up and put out the fire! What are you doing in a daze, looking for Steward Lin to save people! She was really shocked, how could this be!
When the Zhao family, Xia Ruxue, and Xia Mengyao sisters hurried to Mozhuxuan, they were stunned by the raging fire in front of them.
There is only one main building in Mozhuxuan, which is where Xia Junping usually lives, and at this moment, the main house, the side room, the study, the kitchen, etc., are all shrouded in fire. Flames and smoke are intertwined, and the heat waves are rolling in, making it feel hot and impossible to approach.
As soon as he saw the Zhao family coming, Lin Tao, the housekeeper who was fighting the fire, hurriedly said: "Madam, it's not good, the fire is too big, I can't go in!" The eldest young master and the second young master haven't been found yet, but I'm afraid they've ......."
"What did you say?" Zhao was sweating when he heard this, "What the hell is going on?" β
It's nothing to kill one Xia Junping, but if the two sisters-in-law are gone, even she can't get rid of responsibility!
Lin Tao's face was embarrassed: "The second young master set off the cannon battle and accidentally ignited the fire, and the result was ......" Even he didn't expect this to happen, it was just ...... It turned out to be ...... It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven!
The two sisters, Xia Ruxue and Xia Mengyao, were also stunned, they had never seen such a fire, and there were people inside. One is the crippled eldest brother Xia Junping, and the other is the seven-year-old younger brother Xia Guangzong, do the two of them want to be burned alive inside?
"Mother, what should I do......" Xia Ruxue grabbed Xia Mengyao's hand tightly, and her face changed.
At this moment, Su Shi also hurriedly came with the girl.
As soon as she looked at the raging fire, she screamed from afar: "Guangzong! My sonβ"
Su Shi pushed away the girl who was supporting her, stumbled and ran over, looking at such a terrifying flame, engulfing the entire Mo Zhuxuan, she almost fainted.
"Guangzong, Guangzong!"
Su Shi's voice was trembling, his entire facial features were distorted, and he rushed forward suddenly, shouting in his mouth: "Mother is here to save you, Guangzong, where are you?" β
The two girls, Juan'er and Su'er, hurriedly grabbed her and didn't let her rush over, but Su Shi rushed in like crazy, and the two girls couldn't pull it. But before Su Shi rushed to the door, the hot flames blocked her way, and she couldn't rush in at all.
Su Shi was in a hurry, grabbed Lin Tao next to him, and begged bitterly: "Steward Lin, save the second young master!" Is the second young master in it? Get him out of here......"
"Aunt Su, the little one also wants to save the two young masters, but the fire is too big to go in." Lin Tao couldn't help, he couldn't do it in a hurry, so he could only quickly wave his hand and shout: "Splash the water, the water, bring the water, save the eldest young master and the second young master!" β
One by one, the girls carried basins and buckets, but they couldn't get close at all, so they could only splash water from afar, which didn't play a role. In just a moment, the fire was raging, and it had already engulfed the entire Mo Zhuxuan.
If it is elsewhere, there is a prepared water tank in the yard for water walking.
But this is Mo Zhuxuan, no one came at all before, it was a depression, and it was only recently that Xia Yanxiu paid attention to it, and it was redecorated to sweep away the decadence. There is such a thing as a fire-fighting water tank, which will not be ready for a while.
Not only could the flame not be extinguished, but it became more and more intense because of the pouring of fire oil.
The smoke billowed and went straight to the sky, and Zhao was stunned and his heart was cold.
