Seeing that Ma San'er drank the wine by himself, Zhang Meng listened to the window and felt that it was already the third watch, so he took the wine jug and instructed Ma San'er: "Eat a few bites of food and go back."

Go lie down and take a nap, there will be big things to do, when I call you, don't be hairy! ”

At this time, Gao Ling and Liu Ying had already gone to sleep, Ma San'er listened, dried the leftover wine in the cup, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food indiscriminately, and then said goodbye to Zhang Meng and went back to sleep.

Zhang Meng was ready not to sleep tonight, so he was still drinking a little wine there silently at this time, while listening to the sounds outside the house.

After the third watch, the northwest wind became more and more urgent, and the roof treetops whined, as if crying and mourning. At this time, Zhang Meng suddenly heard the street outside Zhang Luo firefighting, when he turned his face to look, he saw that his window paper was reflected by the fire outside for a while, Zhang Meng saw it, knew that the blind barking donkey was successful, and heard the footsteps of the street and the sound of the dog barking and the shouts of firefighting, Zhang Meng came over and woke up Ma San'er: "Hurry up, General Sima has added a fire, follow me to fight the fire." ”

At this time, Gao Ling and Liu Ying got up first, and walked over while getting dressed and asked, "Boss Zhang, where is the fire?" ”

Zhang Meng listened and instructed them: "Don't go out at home. Ma San'er, go quickly, put out the fire for me. ”

Zhang Meng said and went out, picked up a bucket, flew to the river, carried a bucket of river water, walked through the willow forest, and came to Sima Yi's door.

At this time, the long-term workers of Sima Yi's family had already gone out to put out the fire, some took out donkeys, and some carried buckets to the river to get water, and the whole courtyard was in chaos, the north wind was blowing, and the courtyard was filled with thick smoke.

When Zhang Meng saw it, he asked the old man if he had been rescued?

When the long-term workers heard this, they looked around to see that they couldn't see Sima Yi, so they shouted repeatedly, saying that they should hurry in to save the old man.

Zhang Meng listened, lifted a bucket of river water in his hand to the top of his head, poured it from the top of his head, first poured cold water on his body, and then lowered his head and rushed into the yard with thick smoke.

At this time, there was no echo in Sima Yi's bedroom, and I don't know whether Sima Yi fell asleep or was fainted by the fireworks.

When Zhang Meng saw this, he stretched out his hand to separate the two Sima Zhao brothers, raised his leg and kicked it, only to hear a plop, and the door opened in all directions. At this time, the room was filled with black smoke and no one was visible. Zhang Meng saw it and lowered his head and rushed into the house, and there was another plop, it turned out that Zhang Meng was tripped by Sima Yi who was lying on the ground.

Zhang Meng took a look by the firelight, and saw that it was Sima Yi lying on the ground face down, and the two maidservants beside him were crying and coughing, but they couldn't get up.

Zhang Meng saw it, didn't say a word, reached out to help Sima Yi, sandwiched it in his left arm and wrist, and then, with his right hand, grabbed the hair of the two handmaidens, dragged the two handmaidens, rushed out of the door in three steps and two steps, dragged it to the door, and turned to the back of the house to be in the limelight, then put down Sima Yi and the two handmaidens, handed them over to Sima Zhao and the two brothers for rescue, and turned back to find the bucket and brought water to put out the fire.

At this time, the northwest wind blew more and more rapidly, and the fire burned more and more cheerfully by the wind.

At that time, was there any current firefighting equipment, facing such a strong north wind, the fire was so ferocious, how could these dozens of people carry water over with their hands and shoulders, how could they extinguish the flames in the courtyard?

In this way, everyone was busy rescuing half of the house, and there was no half of the house left, and the entire Sima Manor was burned to the point that the walls were crooked, and it was a mess.

By daybreak, the fire had gradually been extinguished, the northwest wind had stopped, and Zhang Meng and the others looked like soldiers who had fled after defeating the battle, all of them in tattered clothes and covered with charcoal black.

At this time, Zhang Meng was worried about Sima Yi's safety, and hurriedly came over to check, only to see Sima Yi wearing a broken quilt at this time, leaning under an old willow tree, sitting diagonally, and standing next to Sima Shi guarding him, I don't know where Sima Zhao went at this time.

When Zhang Meng saw it, he hurriedly came over to greet him, but before he could speak, he saw Sima Shi kneeling down on one leg, saluting Zhang Meng, and said with a crying voice: "Fortunately, Boss Zhang saved my father's life, and he is polite here." As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to Zhang Meng.

When Zhang Meng saw it, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Sima Gongzi, don't do this, Zhang Meng can't afford it." Unfortunately, there was a fire at home, but fortunately, General Sima and his family were not injured, and they were very lucky. ”

When Zhang Meng said this, he hurriedly came over to greet Sima Yi, only to see Sima Yi nodding with a wry smile and sighing: "Alas, ——, disaster is dissatisfied, providence, what can be done?" ”

Zhang Meng listened and said a few words of comfort. Seeing that it was already breakfast time, Sima Yi's family had neither a hiding place nor a place to eat at this time, not only did they have no place to eat, but they also had no place to eat. Zhang Meng saw it and discussed Sima Shi: "It's come to this point, why don't you ask General Sima to live in my store temporarily?" ”

Sima Shi heard this, and hurriedly came over to ask his father, only to see Sima Yi shake his head and disagree, Zhang Meng saw it, and came over to persuade: "The general will stay in the shop for a while, and after breakfast, we will discuss and find a place to live—you can't stop outside the house all day and night, right?" ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he got up and tore off the torn quilt, and reached out to tidy up his clothes. Zhang Meng saw that Sima Yi's hair was also scorched in a few places by the fire, and saw that his face was covered with dust and rags, and sighed in his heart: "This is the general who commands thousands of troops and horses, and he has fallen to such a point at this time." ”

sighed that he couldn't bear it in his heart here, and turned his heart sideways, and said to himself: "My actions stabilized Sima Yi alone, and didn't let him go to war again, that is, I saved the lives of countless people!" Judging from here, Sima Yi is down for a while, why not! ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng stretched out his hand to support Sima Yi and walked to his shop, and instructed Ma San'er: "Go quickly, go back first, pack up a house, and leave it for General Sima to settle down." He instructed Ma San'er here: "You can let Gao Ling do the things that the store cleans up." Then you go to the restaurant and ask the boss to prepare bun porridge for thirty people, send it to General Sima, and invite everyone to have breakfast. ”

But it was said that last night the donkey was blindly called a fire, which burned Sima Yi's family to a mess, and it was dawn, and Sima Yi's family had nowhere to stay, but fortunately, Zhang Meng was Zhang Luo, at this time Sima Yi was sitting in the hall of Zhang Meng's pharmacy, silently eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, putting down the dishes and chopsticks, and not speaking, lowering his head and thinking about his thoughts.
