Chapter 66: Fire (2nd Watch)
At this moment, a loud voice came from the front.
"Miss Zhao! Are you still in there? ”
Zhao Xiaowan couldn't see which direction the person was in through several tongues of fire, so he could only shout loudly against the smoke, "I'm here!" ”
There were immediately several faint conversations on the other side.
Then, it was still Hu Zhukuai's familiar loud voice: "Miss Zhao, you quickly find a place where the fire is slightly smaller to hide, the adults have already come to put out the fire, and if you insist on it, I can save you out!" ”
Zhao Xiaowan wanted to say that she was not the only one in this, and her third brother was also trapped inside, just one mouth, she was choked by the smoke, and immediately coughed dryly.
Zhao Shou hurriedly tore off a piece of clean fabric from his body and handed it to the little sister's mouth and nose.
"Stop talking, cover up!" As he spoke, he tore off another piece and covered it on his face.
Zhao Xiaowan threw the corpse on his back and covered his nose, saying in his heart that it would not work at all like this.
It is important to know that many of the people killed in the fire did not lose their lives because of the fire, but because the smoke made it impossible to breathe and choked to death.
"It's better to have water to wet the veil......"
Zhao Xiaowan thought, but, where is the water in the dungeon?
Zhao Shou also thought so.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a pot in the corner, shaped like the one he would use at night.
Zhao Xiaowan: "!! ”
"Wait, brother, or forget it!" Zhao Xiaowan panicked.
Zhao Shou said: "Is life important or face important? ”
Although Zhao Xiaowan has always felt that life is more important than face.
But......
If she wants to use a urinal to save her life, then she still thinks that face is more important.
Seeing that the third brother was coming, Zhao Xiaowan's mind turned faster than ever.
In a flash of light, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called out to the third brother who was attacking the urinal: "Brother, I have water!" We don't need that, we'll be out right away! ”
As she spoke, she was afraid that her brother would not believe it, so she took out the white porcelain bowl in her arms.
As soon as his mind moved, a gurgling stream of water flowed out of the bowl.
Zhao Xiaowan hurriedly took the handkerchief to pick it up until all the cloth was wet, Zhao Xiaowan handed the soaked handkerchief to her third brother, and then took the opportunity to kick the urinal far away.
Zhao Shou was stunned by her repeated movements, and it was not until he felt that his mouth and nose were covered by a moist veil that he reacted.
He looked at the little sister who was pressing the handkerchief for him with one hand, and then at the white porcelain bowl spraying water wildly in the air, as if he was still in a dream.
"Little sister, you ......" Zhao Shou didn't know where to start for a while.
Zhao Xiaowan was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, in fact, a series of incidents in the past few days not only invaded all the minds of her family, but also made her feel exhausted. So much so that she didn't react until now, and she hadn't had time to explain the matter to her family before she could do so.
At this moment, when the third brother asked, he could only say vaguely: "When I go home, I'll tell you again." ”
Zhao Shou had to pay attention to the scene in front of him.
Zhao Xiaowan didn't know how much water the white porcelain bowl had stored in the cave of Panlong Mountain, and was worried that the water would not be enough, so he could only let the white porcelain bowl pour a path for them to pass.
Outside, Hu Zhukuai was extinguishing the fire with his colleagues, but the fire was too big and underground, and the fire extinguishing process was very unsmooth.
A group of people were extinguishing the fire, and a large amount of white mist suddenly evaporated from the depths of the dungeon, and the massive fog instantly blocked everyone's view.
In the mist, Zhao Shou carried Su Dazhi's corpse on his back, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him, and he jumped out quickly, followed by Zhao Xiaowan, the explosive head who was burning against the fire and struggling to escape.
At first, Hu Zhukuai thought he was wrong, but it wasn't until the two of them passed him out of breath and ran towards the outside of the dungeon that he reacted that someone had successfully escaped from the sea of fire!
It wasn't until she ran out of the dungeon that Zhao Xiaowan remembered Liu Tieniu, who was locked in cell C by her, and hurriedly turned around to go down to save people, but bumped into Hu Zhukuai, who was chasing them all the way.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaowan was in a hurry and was about to drill down again, Hu Zhu immediately grabbed her arm, "Miss Zhao, you finally escaped death, what are you going to do in there?" ”
Zhao Xiaowan is in a hurry!
"I locked my fellow brother inside!" After howling, he was about to drill in, but he heard a familiar male voice suddenly coming from behind him.
"But it can be regarded as remembering me, if it weren't for Hu Zhukuai who opened the door of the cell for me while the fire was still young, I guess I would have been semi-mature ...... by now."
"You're not dead yet!"
Zhao Xiaowan looked back with great joy and saw Liu Tieniu with a resentful face.
As for how she could see the resentment in that smoky black face? Probably talented......
Liu Tieniu: "...... Listen, what is this called? ”
It wasn't until midnight that the sudden fire was extinguished by the relay of everyone.
Zhao Xiaowan didn't even have time to catch her breath, she was called to the county hall by the Wen County Order, and the bodies of her third brother, Liu Tieniu and Su Dazhi went with her.
In the lobby of the county government, as soon as a few people entered the door, they faced the fierce beast elephant at the entrance of the hall.
The beast elephant crouched on both sides of the lobby of the official office, looking like a tiger but not a tiger, with two dragon horns erected on its forehead, staring at a pair of angry eyes, and glaring at everyone present majestically.
If there is a ghost in the heart of the person, I am afraid that I will be frightened by this beast elephant, and it is really possible to shake out a few words of truth.
Zhao Xiaowan, who thought that there was no ghost in her heart, stared curiously for a long time, and did not recognize what kind of animal this was from her barren knowledge base, so she could only pass by with regret.
When a few people went to the hall, they saw the county magistrate sitting in the first seat with a solemn face, and next to him, there was also Sun Chengzuo, who was blue and black, and his apprentice Fugui, who also looked tired.
Zhao Xiaowan thought to himself, this master and apprentice went to be thieves in the middle of the night?
On the other side, Fugui, who noticed Zhao Xiaowan's sight, secretly raised his eyes, pursed his lips at Zhao Xiaowan, and showed a wry smile.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wen County immediately began to inquire about what happened tonight.
Probably someone had already told him about what happened tonight, and at this time, he looked directly at Zhao Xiaowan and asked his soul, "Miss Zhao, Shili Village is more than ten miles away from the county government, I don't know why you appeared in the county government office in the middle of the night?" ”
Of course, Zhao Xiaowan couldn't say that she came because of the mission, so she could only lie and say that she had been restless since nightfall, and suspected that something had happened to the third brother in prison, so she hurried to the county seat without telling her family.
Just when I entered the city, I saw that the lights in the direction of the county government were bright, and there were no patrols and guards at the door, and I heard the sound of fierce fighting inside.
Because she was worried about the safety of her third brother, and Hu Yu quickly dragged the man in black behind her for her, she successfully entered the dungeon.
After that, there was a fight with the leader of the man in black, Su Dazhi was killed, and the dungeon caught fire for no reason.
