Chapter 379: A Fire
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the little servant kneeling in the main hall, reporting in a trembling voice, "Back to the master, the incense building is on fire, and now the fire is being extinguished, and the steward asked me to come back and report." ”
"What did you say?"
Zilan rushed forward with an arrow step, grabbed the little guy and pulled his body, and his eyes widened, "You say it again, where is the fire?" ”
"Miss, the Xianglou is on fire, the Xianglou."
The little guy fell to his knees and broke down and cried.
Zilan blinked her eyes, couldn't believe it, turned around and rushed out.
"Lan'er, follow her."
The second grandfather roared, and Su Xin and Qiong Xin quickly chased after everyone.
Zilan climbed onto the horse that the little maid rode back, rushed out of the Song family's old house, and ran straight in the direction of Xianglou, followed closely by Su Xin and Qiong Xin.
The main hall was also in a mess, "How can this be, how can the Xianglou catch fire, what about Lao Qi, what does he think?" ”
The third grandfather angrily dropped the teacup.
"You are all dead, what are you doing here, go and see, help put out the fire, and deal with the aftermath."
The second grandfather's angry face turned red, pointing at the fourth and fifth children and Song Zhengtian and scolding angrily.
Only then did everyone recover from the shock and began to go out and get busy.
Zilan rushed all the way to the Xianglou, and saw the raging fire from a distance, and when she arrived, she had to believe that her Xianglou was on fire, the fire was very big, and the surrounding neighbors were carrying buckets to extinguish the fire.
She gasped, her body shook a little and she almost fell off the horse, if it weren't for Su Xin's quick eyes to hug her, her head would have fallen to the ground.
As soon as she shook off Frangipani and was about to rush into the fire, she was blocked by the butler who was directing the aftermath with his arms outstretched, and Qiong Xin hugged her from behind.
"Miss, you can't go, it's dangerous."
The steward moved back and forth to block her from rushing into the fire.
"Let go, this is my hard work for many years."
Zilan broke down and cried.
The seventh uncle also saw her, and hurriedly rushed over to grab her, "Child, don't be afraid, I'm putting out the fire, you can't go in." ”
"All my heart and soul are gone."
Zi Lan trembled with anger, and pressed her breath to her chest, only the red firelight in front of her kept jumping and lingering, and her body fell straight back, and she didn't know anything in front of her.
"Lan'er."
Cui Hao arrived in time on horseback, picked up the person from Su Xin's arms, hugged him horizontally, and glanced at Uncle Seven.
"You go back first, I'll deal with it here, and the family will be here soon."
Uncle Seven's anxious eyes were on fire.
"Put out the fire first and deal with the aftermath, and then open your mouth if you need anything."
"Okay, don't worry, there are a lot of people, bring them back to see the doctor."
Uncle Seven stomped his feet angrily and distressedly.
Cui Hao got on the horse with people in his arms and hurried back to the old house of the Song family, all the way to the main hall.
Yang and the other elders were also startled when they saw someone unconscious, "What's the matter, go and ask for a doctor." ”
The second grandmother shouted anxiously.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, I glared in anger, let out a sigh of relief, go get some hot water."
Cui Hao put the person on the concubine's soft couch and pinched her person.
Zilan has been groggy all the time, her brain seems to be filled with paste, her ears have been ringing in her ears, buzzing, half of her body is numb, and she can barely move.
"Mother, my hard work is all gone, ...... they are so ruthless."
Zilan opened her eyes and saw her mother, her hands trembling all over, and she threw herself on her and howled.
Yang's eyes were red, tears fell down one by one, she knew best how much effort her daughter had used to make Xianglou prosperous, and she had been working day and night in those years.
From scratch, from existence to prosperity, one difficulty after another, one after another solved, under countless pressures to today, all the fires are gone, and no one can stand it.
Song Yilan asked people to serve warm water and handed it to Yang, sobbing quietly beside him.
"Don't cry children, you have to be strong, we can rebuild it if we burn it, only people are still there, there is hope for everything."
The second grandmother also shed tears, but she still cheered up to comfort her granddaughter.
"They are not men, they are beasts, and they will be punished sooner or later if they lose their conscience."
Zilan hissed angrily and scolded.
"Lan'er, you are the eldest lady of the Song family, you are the backbone of the sisters' hearts, you are all down, let the sisters behave in the future, you have to be strong, my mother believes that you can make the Xianglou that has nothing into the prosperous one it is now, I believe you can also start all over again."
Yang hugged her daughter and cried to cheer her up.
Zilan cried for a while, her emotions were temporarily vented, and she was much more sober, she sat up, she was really angry just now, and she was still a little numb.
"Qiongxin, Yilan."
"The slave is here."
"Sister, I'm here."
"Go, let people open my treasury, there are boxes of silver, and boxes of copper plates, all of them are brought and moved to the incense building, all those who help to fight the fire, each person has always been copper coins, the fire will spread very quickly, you remember to shout loudly, those who help fight the fire can get money, and get money now."
If the fire burns down the neighbors in front of me, all the losses will be borne by me Song Zilan alone, and I will be fully responsible for the loss of house decoration, and I will send someone to treat the injured people, and I will not shirk or delay.
In the end, the high price of 100 taels of gold offered a reward for the arsonist, and let my father report to the yamen. Go now, bring a few more guards, and bring my uncle's men with you, to prevent everyone from looting." ”
"Yes."
"The loss is from the Song family, there is no reason for your sister to bear it alone, you go to do this first, it is important to extinguish the fire, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and it is important to call on everyone to extinguish the fire."
The third grandfather immediately added.
The doctor came over and checked Zilan's pulse, "I'm angry, fortunately I'm healthy and young, if I'm a little older, I'm afraid I'm going to have a small stroke." I'll give you two stitches to dredge your qi and blood. ”
Banla's body is numb, isn't it angry?
"Thank you, doctor, something happened at home and you are childish, so you bother."
Yang immediately said good things.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem, we're old friends, I'll get better with a few needles, my mood must remain stable, I can't be angry anymore, it's not a joke."
The doctor repeatedly comforted Zilan.
"Thank you, doctor, I'll listen to you."
Zilan took a breath slowly.
"You have a good rest, I will help you with things outside, and your body is important."
Cui Hao was also distressed and didn't dare to leave, looking at her with anxiety and pity in his eyes.
"I'm fine, Brother Hao, you help me, my years of hard work are all gone, you help me."
Zilan covered her face and couldn't help crying again.
"Okay, don't worry, you can keep it in peace, I'll go to the scene to see if there is anything I can help, cry if you want to, I know it's distressing, but I can't hold it in my heart."
"Okay."
Cui Hao didn't delay, he was with the former elders, and it didn't make much sense for him to stay, so it was better to go to the scene to help his father-in-law.
"Don't feel bad about the child, if it's gone, we can build it again, and build a better one."
Yang didn't know what to say to her daughter except for talking about this, so that she wouldn't be so uncomfortable.
"They calculated correctly, as soon as my eldest uncle left, they turned around and started to kill a thousand knives."
Zilan tried hard to calm herself down, but she was still angry.
