375 Playing with life

"It's on fire......"

The wolf-like roar in the crowd startled everyone, and even the madmen and catchers who were chasing me in the street stopped, and people soon discovered that billowing smoke was rising from the main hall of the yamen.

Thick smoke billowed out, surging from the cracks in the doors and windows, reaching straight into the sky, and the black smoke was like a peerless demon descending into the world, water and fire were ruthless, especially in this era of making stoves and lighting candles, almost every day people died in the flames and smoke, so people were extremely afraid of fire.

More and more smoke came out, and in an instant, the paste window paper burned, and soon there was an open flame in the entire window frame, and more smoke gushed out, straight into the sky, like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun.

"Ah, it's on fire, extinguish the fire, put out the fire." Huang Yuanwai was the first to react, pointing to the lobby and shouting loudly.

Han Jianren was slightly stunned, and hurriedly shouted anxiously: "Quickly extinguish the fire, my silk is still in the lobby." ”

As soon as they heard the silk two people, everyone was excited, but in the face of the fire that devoured life, it was in the yamen, although some people were in their hearts, they did not dare to take the double danger to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Everyone stood outside the door, watching the smoke billowing and the flames jumping, but no one dared to step forward, Huang Yuanwai and Han Jianren were anxious as if they were burning on fire, Liu Li Wa shouted unhurriedly: "Where is the crowd catching, quickly extinguish the fire!" ”

The catchers should have said in unison, and Huang Yuanwai finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the catcher was just about to retreat, and the knife-wielding madman who had been besieged by them suddenly jumped up, screamed strangely, kicked a catcher to the ground, and slashed out a knife, cutting off the water and fire stick in the hand of the catcher, which frightened the catcher to retreat again and again.

The crowd was about to abandon the madman and rush to save the life, but in the blink of an eye, the madman put down two people, which greatly surprised people, and at this time, the madman was really crazy, like a wolf into a flock, a person rampaged in many catches, the kitchen knife danced wildly, and soon a few catchers fell to the ground, but they were not too heavy, either knocked down by the madman, or scratched by the kitchen knife.

But despite this, the catcher didn't dare to take it lightly, because the madman had no sense of proportion, no, he was cutting at the head of a catcher with a kitchen knife, and he saw that the catcher was about to be killed, but the madman himself stumbled, his body was crooked, the knife was not cut, but he hit the catcher with his shoulder.

At this moment, all the catchers became nervous, even if they didn't arrest him, they had to take care of their own safety. Armed with water and fire sticks, they besieged the madman in public and began to encircle and suppress him.

And the madman is like a loach, dodging left and right, although his movements are embarrassing, but he is never harmed.

More than 20 arrests were all dragged by a madman with a knife, and in the lobby of the yamen, the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and the window frame was burning, and Han Jianren was still shouting vigorously: "Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire, my silk, that's my life!" ”

He roared anxiously, rushed into the crowd, and pulled when he saw someone: "Please, come with me to save the life, please, please ......"

Naturally, people would not take the risk to help him put out the fire, and the catcher was dragged by the madman, seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, many people sighed, it was silk worth 300,000 taels of silver, and silk was the most afraid of fire, and it might have all turned into ashes.

"No ......" At this moment, Huang Yuanwai suddenly let out a loud roar, don't look at the age, but the body is still vigorous, the whole person turned into a gust of wind, desperately rushed to the yamen lobby, plunged into the smoke, and slammed open the door with all his might, and suddenly a fire snake danced out wildly, the flames were rolling, Huang Yuanwai subconsciously stopped, but it was this slight hesitation, the fire snake had become a wall of fire, completely blocking him out.

The flames rose, the heat was rolling, the scorching breath was blowing in the face, and even the people outside the gate involuntarily retreated, all because of the fear of the flames.

"Huh?" Of course, there are also people who are not afraid, that is, the little emperor, he has even been dripping wax oil in his life, so he is naturally not afraid of fire, but he is very calm and observed, and finally saw the difference, and whispered in my sister's ear: "Sister, when I came out just now, I saw with my own eyes that there was no combustible material at the door, it was a bare floor, how could it be burning?" ”

"That's because someone has piled up firewood and grass in the doorway, and it's the firewood and grass that is burning." The princess sister smiled and said, "This is what he said from the heart. Look at people's hearts to make judgments. ”

The little emperor didn't understand it very well, because he didn't have any social experience, let alone human hearts and human nature.

But soon, someone will tell him with practical actions that right now, under the gaze of the little emperor, Huang Yuanwai roared, this is a kind of roar that is willing to go out and give up his body, it is a roar of despair, a roar of admitting if he is unsuccessful, and a roar of sacrificing his life and money!

With this shout, Huang Yuanwai gritted his teeth and rushed towards the wall of fire, as if rushing to hell, and was instantly engulfed by the flames.

"Ah......" Everyone was in an uproar, some were shocked, some sighed, and some sympathized.

But before the uproar fell, the burning wall of fire seemed to be separated, and the yellow man who had just rushed in appeared again, as if he had returned to the world from hell, and even the fire of hell could not help him, and in his arms, holding a silk horse, holding it tightly, as if he was saving people.

Everyone suddenly realized that he was so desperate to rescue the batch of silk in the lobby, this entry and exit speed is extremely fast, which is impressive, and sure enough, at the critical moment, people will burst out with incredible energy.

There was a stir in the crowd, and the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob began to breed again, but when Huang Yuanwai stood still and put down the silk in his arms, people were surprised to find that Huang Yuanwai moved very fast just now, and it seemed that nothing was going on, but in fact, at the moment of crossing the wall of fire, the merciless flames burned off his eyebrows and scorched his hair, and the small arm of his luxurious silk brocade was burned, revealing a red and swollen arm, which was bubbling at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Seeing the tragic situation of Huang Yuanwai, everyone's thoughts of wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob were all annihilated, just when they felt that money and foreign objects were not worth such a life, Huang Yuanwai, who was already covered in bruises, rushed towards the wall of fire again, and successfully crossed again, but people heard the sound of zila la, which made people's scalps tingle......
