To the southeast, it has been reduced to a sea of red.

Huairentang is wide and crowded, with countless houses, corridors and corridors, shady forests, and a large number of dried medicinal materials hoarded in each medicine storehouse, which is the most afraid of fire. As a result, a lot of effort was put into dealing with the water walk.

Not only the front hall and the back house are fully equipped with water hoses, water bags, water bladders and other things for firefighting. Large water tanks with surplus water were also placed around each storeroom, and water was stocked up for many years just in case.

A few days ago, because of the shortage of iron pots for soup soup and medicine, Yang Ye sent people to requisition a certain number of water tanks from various medicine depots and pharmacies, but the number left was enough.

If it weren't for the guards and guards of the East Medicine Depot who called Tan Lang to entangle and rescue the masters, it would not have caused such a disaster.

Chang Qianfo performed light skills, walked along the periphery of the fire, climbed high and looked into the distance, looked at it, only to see the smoke billowing in the southeast corner, among which the fire in the east medicine depot was the most serious.

Due to the southeast wind, half of the East Pharmacy to the north of the East Medicine Depot was burning, and the Dong Shu Medicine Center, which caused the disaster, was the least affected because it was located directly south of the East Medicine Store, and was saved with the full help of the guards.

After Fu Xiu led people to extinguish the fire in the pharmacy, he left some people to deal with the aftermath and took the rest of the people to the east to extinguish the scattered small fires, so as not to turn into a large fire, burning through the streets and burning the surrounding houses.

In the northwest direction, the fire is raging, and there is a non-stop posture. The tongue of fire several feet long was tumbling and rolling in the air, licking wherever it went.

The guards stood in a row around the fire, carrying buckets and water bags, and one wave was sprayed, and the next one was immediately connected.

However, the fire was so fierce that the water spilled out was turned into a cloud of white smoke and dissipated with a "snort" before it reached the center of the flames.

It was useful to throw the water bladder into it, but the fire burned like this, and the number of water bladders was not enough at all, which was quite a drop in the bucket.

Everyone put out the fire and retreated, but they couldn't stop the fire from spreading.

Chang Qianfo was condescending, and he saw the situation clearly, and his heart became heavier and heavier. The retraction fell on the eaves, jumped down, and just saw Wang Lianchen and Yang Ping, the two masters, rushing over.

Yang Ping and Wang Lianchen were respectively responsible for the evacuation of patients in the autumn and winter two medical care homes, and the four major medical care gardens of Huairentang in spring, summer, autumn and winter were aggravated in chronological order, with the spring and autumn gardens in the west, while the autumn and winter gardens located in the east were all seriously ill, and it was difficult to sit up, let alone walk.

It all relied on the young and strong labor to carry people out one by one.

A sudden fire broke out in Huairentang, and there was panic in the medical care center. Some unreasonable relatives and friends of the patient even resented and scolded. What's more, they left their parents or wives on the hospital bed and fled for their lives.

Although the remaining part can help to rescue patients, because they have never encountered such a big situation and do not know how to deal with it, they are panicked and run around headlessly, finding the wrong door and recognizing the wrong way. People crowd people, people hit people, and it's a pot of boiling porridge.

At the beginning of the fire, the guards of the two gardens and most of the young people rushed to put out the fire with buckets. There are only a group of weak doctors and apprentices left, where is there enough manpower?

Wang Lianchen and Yang Pingyi planned to go to the west to borrow someone, but they happened to see Chang Qianfo on the roof, and hurriedly ran over to ask for any instructions.

Chang Qianfo was also looking for something to say, jumped off the roof and ran towards the two.

didn't have time to say hello, and said as he walked: "Uncle Yang, you personally go to the east to deliver a message and inform all the firefighters to withdraw." Give up the East Medicine Depot and the East Pharmacy to help rescue the patients in the Autumn and Winter Gardens, regardless of property, human life is the most important. If someone sees the intention of making money and causes robbery, the court rules will deal with it.

Another person was sent to find Uncle Jiang and asked him to organize manpower to take Yixin Hall as the boundary, and all the houses east of Yixin Hall were demolished and people were evacuated. Let it go, whoever helps to fight the fire will be rewarded by Changjiabao afterwards. Mobilize the people to build an earthen wall defense along the line from Jiangjun Street to Neihu to prevent the fire from spreading to the west of Yixin Hall. ”

Chang Qianfo's words were clear and clear, but Yang Ping and Wang Lianchen were dumbfounded, and no one dared to accept this.

The meaning of Chang Qianfu is to give up a corner and protect the overall situation.

It sounds like a good idea, but it's not so easy to give up. To the west to the Yixin Hall as the boundary, to the north as the boundary of the inner lake, the southeast covers an area of more than 100 acres, not to mention the houses and buildings on it are all over the place, the furniture of each hall alone does not know the value, not to mention all kinds of valuable medicinal materials and medical utensils.

This is tantamount to giving up half of Huairentang, and the loss is incalculable.

"Childe, can't you really be saved?" Yang Ye hesitated and asked, "Do you want to wait no longer and see the situation?" ”

"Can't wait any longer." Chang Qianfo looked up at the clouds in the sky, his face was calm, and said: "Wait any longer, wait until the southeast wind blows completely, and the fire takes advantage of the wind, and the entire Huairentang can't be saved." ”

This is not alarmist, it is still a small breeze, and the fire is moving so fast, it is really a matter of time for the wind to blow, from east to west.

Even if you can't give it, you have to give it.

Yang Ye looked up at the sky, only to see the firelight reflecting the sky, and the haze rolling, which had the tendency to cover the sky and the sun. In these cases, the clouds that are gradually graying and darkening do not look so conspicuous.

Looking at the sky, the rain will not fall for a while and a half, and it is very likely that there will be a strong wind.

Yang Ping was afraid for a while, and secretly regretted that he was confused and made a big mistake. Take the command and go.

Chang Qianfo continued to instruct Wang Lianchen: "Uncle Wang, you immediately go west, transfer fifty people who rushed to fight the fire, retreat to the inner lake, put water and water to extinguish the fire, and keep the granary." To the east of the inner lake, don't take it lightly and don't let the fire go into the backyard. ”

Wang Lianchen also went.

Chang Qianfo performed light skills and rushed towards Jiujia Street. Before he arrived at the Yamen of the Assassin History, he saw that the door of the barracks, which was less than two miles away, was wide open.

Ling Fu rushed out first.

Huang Yuan led the team, and thousands of soldiers formed a queue of four people.

Chang Qianfo was overjoyed, strode away, and shouted, "Uncle Ling." ”

He bowed his hand to Huang Yuan again: "There is Deputy General Lao Huang." ”

Huang Yuan nodded: "It should be." He turned around and waved, "Keep up!" ”

Most of the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion were sent to garrison the city gates, and there were less than 600 people left. After Fang Xian received Ling Fu's request for help, he personally seconded five hundred soldiers from Chen Ning.

Half of the soldiers of the Huxiao battalion and half of the soldiers of the Chuzhou government formed a temporary formation, but there was no major situation. It's just that there was a mess at first, but soon it was in order, and it was neatly marching towards General Street.
