Chapter 289: Days Like the Clock (10)
Li Yaoyao walked in like a ghost, walking lightly, and when she came to the eaves where Ruyi and the others lived, her eyes burst with coldness.
In the heat for several days, it was easy for a fire to break out, so she just had to put the lantern in the corner of the wall, and tomorrow it would all be reduced to ashes.
But—
Do you really want to do this?
If you do it, you will never be able to turn back, and you will be beheaded if you kill someone!
Li Yaoyao hesitated.
But she is unwilling, what should she do?
By the way, tomorrow is the day of their family's beams, if there are no beams on the day of the beams, see what they do!
So, Li Yaoyao gave up the idea of setting the house on fire and planned to burn the batch of wood in the courtyard.
She came to the pile of wood like a ghost, and slowly tilted the lantern upside down in a corner of the wood, and in an instant, the candle flame burned the lantern, emitting a bright fire.
Li Yaoyao looked at the scene in front of her, hooked the corners of her lips evilly, and turned away decisively, and her ghost-like figure instantly disappeared into the night, as if she had never appeared.
The moon shone coldly, and the lanterns made of bamboo strips burned more and more, and in an instant, the pile of wood slowly burned, at first the fire was small, and in the end, the fire became bigger and bigger.
The bright light of the fire was imprinted in front of Ruyi's window, and she was still asleep in a dream, in which she was at the scene of the fire, and there was a crackling sound in her ears, and the scorching temperature burned her body.
It's hot, it's hot......
Ru Yi was awakened by the nightmare, stared at the big eyes like copper bells, sat up suddenly, gasped for breath, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and after a while, he slowly came back to his senses.
She blinked her eyes, and was about to lie down to sleep, when she noticed that the room suddenly became very bright, and she thought it was morning, and turned her head to look outside the window to see what day it was, but found that the fire outside the window was soaring.
Ru Yi was stunned for a moment, and soon came back to his senses, it turned out that it was not a dream, it was really on fire outside!? She picked up a coat and put it on, opened the door and ran out immediately, shouting from time to time: "It's on fire, it's on fire, mother, auntie, come and put out the fire!" ……”
"What? On fire? When Qian heard the sound, he got out of bed in a panic and put on a piece of clothing, and woke up Yuan Shu, who was still asleep on the other bed: "Shu'er, don't sleep, get up and put out the fire." ”
"On fire? Where is the fire? ......" Yuan Shu woke up like a dream, and immediately got out of bed, not even wearing a coat, Qian was afraid that she would freeze, so he hurriedly put a coat on her.
Ru Yi ran outside the first time, found a basin casually, and didn't care whether the water in the tank was drinking water or not, he directly reached into the tank to scoop water, and then came to the middle of the fire with an arrow step. With a "bang", the water poured on the flames, and the fire gradually decreased on the side that was splashed, but the surrounding fire was still soaring.
Soon, Qian and Yuan Shu also joined the ranks of fighting the fire, one of them had limited strength, but the strength of the unity of the three was immeasurable. The three of them didn't know how many times they ran back and forth, and finally put all the fire on the pile of wood.
The cold moonlight poured down, and all the thick wood was reduced to ashes, and wisps of smoke rose from some of the corners that had not yet been watered. Yuan Shu, Qian Shi, and Ru Yi sat on the threshold softly, their faces were crimson, gasping for breath, their backs were already soaked, and a cool breeze hit them, and they trembled all over.
Yuan Shu took a breath and asked puzzledly: "Sister-in-law, why did you say that this good and decent thing suddenly caught fire?" ”
