Next, although the speed at which the robbers of Guangyu Village in the granary threw the dry firewood that burned vigorously was much faster than the speed at which Xiao Qiongzhi and Liu Wuxiu threw it back, as well as the speed at which Chu Yunniang tied the torch, as time went by, the fire in the granary gradually burned more and more.

The bandits of the village began to try to throw dry wood and torches into a corner to make room for shelter.

But the heat and smoke were also heavy, and they had no place to hide, and gradually they were all burned to varying degrees, rolling in it and crying wolves, and no longer bothering to throw hot dry wood on it.

Xiao Qiongzhi, Chu Yunniang, and Liu Wuxiu were all sweating at this time, almost exhausted.

They also took the opportunity to stop, leaned over to the entrance of the granary, and looked at the movement below.

The smoke below is getting heavier and heavier, and the smoke is so much that you can't keep your eyes open.

The two female robbers of the bare village had turned into fire men, lying in the fire stacked with dry firewood, not moving, and probably dead.

In a corner directly below the entrance to the granary, about four square meters of open space was cleared.

The five bare-chested male robbers were lying together.

Except for Li Jiedai, who was slashed in the head by Liu Wuxiu and then smashed his head with a hoe by Chu Yunniang, the other four are not dead.

When they noticed Xiao Qiongzhi, Chu Yunniang, and Liu Wuxiu's gaze, they all stood up vigilantly, glaring at them fiercely like ghosts.

Chu Yunniang was immediately frightened, and subconsciously escorted Xiao Qiongzhi out of the entrance of the granary.

Liu Wuxiu did the same, and subconsciously followed them.

It's just that after only a few steps, she came back to her senses, stopped, and reminded Chu Yunniang: "Yun Niang, don't go, those robbers have been burned, and they shouldn't have the strength to climb up the ladder again for the time being, you don't have to be afraid of them!" ”

"They're not dead yet, I'm not worried, there's not much firewood and grass left here, I have to go to the stove house and get more firewood and grass, and throw more torches into it." After Chu Yunniang finished speaking, she escorted Xiao Qiongzhi and continued to walk.

Walking to the kitchen, when Chu Yunniang went to get firewood and grass, Xiao Qiongzhi noticed the jar covering the charcoal in the firewood pit.

She had an idea, pointed at it, and said to Chu Yunniang: "Mother, let's bring this one from home, the coals in it are fast, and they can burn up with a little spark, and after pouring them into the granary, those robbers don't have time to reach out and pick them up one by one, which is better than torches." ”

"Okay, it's still thoughtful." Chu Yunniang immediately went to hug the jar.

Xiao Qiongzhi picked up some firewood and grass, so that after pouring the coals into the granary, he would immediately light the torch and throw it in to catch the fire.

When he returned to the entrance of the granary, Liu Wuxiu had already taken the initiative to use the remaining firewood and grass to tie five or six torches.

It's really sleepy to send pillows.

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly told Liu Wuniang about her plan.

Liu Wuniang also felt that she was thoughtful, so she quickly lit the torches one by one and threw them into the granary.

He also helped Chu Yunniang to take the handle, and slowly poured all the coals in the jar towards the position where the torch had just been thrown.

Soon, the charcoal that fell on the torch first caught the fire, and the robbers who tried to pick up the torch were caught off guard.

By the time they had finally picked up all the torches and thrown them into the corner of the pile of dry wood, the coals were already burning red.

It was only a moment before they were burned more and more severely, and they let out bursts of pain and curses.

Among them, the robber nicknamed Haikuojiakong inside, actually began to cry and beg for mercy with a sad face: "The little sister-in-law above, the little -"

Before he finished his words, Liu Wuxiu had already quickly tied up a new torch, lit it, and threw it right on his head.

His hair was on fire all at once, and he couldn't bother to beg for mercy anymore, so he hurriedly raised his hands to beat the fire on his head.

When Xiao Qiongzhi saw it, she turned her head and discussed with Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu: "Mother, Aunt Liu, anyway, now that the charcoal is already burning red, the fire below is very big, and the fire is very fast, let's just throw firewood and grass around the pile of charcoal in the middle." ”

"Okay!" Liu Wuxiu immediately said yes with a big grin, picked up the remaining firewood and grass under his feet, and threw it around the charcoal pile.

Chu Yunniang took Xiao Qiongzhi and went to the kitchen to bring firewood and grass.

When the firewood and grass in the kitchen were brought over and thrown into the granary, Xiao Qiongzhi, Chu Yunniang, and Liu Wuxiu were all tired enough.

However, the effect is also quite good.

Now, the whole granary is stuffed with firewood and grass, and the fire is burning brightly, like a kiln.

It is estimated that the remaining five robbers have all been burned to death, and there are no more moans and cursing sounds.

Liu Wuxiu was relieved, and said to Chu Yunniang, "It's so late, there shouldn't be any more robbers outside, I'll go and pick up my dogs and stones and settle down." She turned around and walked to her own house.

Only then did Chu Yunniang remember that Liu Wuxiu's two children had not yet been brought over, and Liu Wuxiu's house had already been set on fire by Li Jue and them.

She discussed with Xiao Qiongzhi with some embarrassment: "Zhi'er, after your Aunt Liu brings the dog and the stone over, I am afraid that she will live in our house, and she will not move out until she has the money to build a house again." At that time, I am afraid that the secret of our brick cake will not be kept! ”

Xiao Qiongzhi thought about it and said, "It's okay, she will come over later, let's take the initiative to tell her directly, anyway, if it weren't for Aunt Liu's help this time, we wouldn't be so easy to burn those robbers in the granary." We all share difficulties and blessings. ”

"In addition, I simply took this opportunity to tell the patriarch about this method of making city brick cakes, and said that we had never done this thing before, and we also tried, and now we found that it was successful, and we can hide from the robbers, and we are willing to teach everyone to prevent theft."

"By the way, also, the patriarch must remember to tell everyone to swear that he will not pass on this method to people outside the village, lest the news leak, this method will not work."

"Okay, it's still thoughtful." Chu Yunniang nodded.

Soon, Liu Wuxiu brought the dog and the stone over, and by the way, he also brought a jar of rice, carrying a big burden on his back, which is estimated to be a change of clothes.

She said to Chu Yunniang: "Yun Niang, my house has burned down, and I can only borrow to live in your house in the future, but don't worry, I won't let you suffer, we will share difficulties and blessings, as long as I Liu Wuxiu has something to eat, I won't be hungry for you and Zhi'er." ”

"Wuxiu, don't talk about outsiders, it's good if you have this heart, you don't have to be polite to me, my family's great wisdom also hides the food at home well, this time it was not recognized by the robbers, it should be able to survive until the beginning of spring, and there is food." As Chu Yunniang spoke, she helped her carry the rice into the room where Xiao Qiongzhi used to live.

Liu Wuxiu took off the burden on his back, put it on the bed, swept the obviously newly made mattress and quilt on the bed with his eyes, and said gratefully: "Yun Niang, it turns out that you have already guessed that I am coming, get these ready, you are so good, I'm sorry for you, I used to-"
