Chapter 287: Add a fire
When the lord of Rouping arrived, he saw that the people, including his own sons, rushed forward to move the fallen sand and rocks.
"What are you guys doing?" Lord Rouping asked casually to a few.
The brothers of the Xiao family did not dare to respond, but they worked harder than one to carry the stones.
Looking at the Ruins of Qi Meitang, the Rouping County Lord frowned, "Why did the West Cross Courtyard collapse not long after it was repaired?" Mama Ying, go back to those craftsmen and reprimand them. ”
Mama Ying bowed and said, "Yes, the slave has written it down." Fortunately, the second room moved away, and the west cross courtyard was an empty yard, leaving the two little servants to watch the door and not hurt. ”
The conversation between the county lord of Rouping and Mama Ying was heard by the brothers of the Xiao family. Xiao Kezhong opened his mouth and didn't know where to start; Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren were so heartbroken that they couldn't open their mouths; Xiao Kaili also looked sad and didn't speak.
"Mother, grandmother and Xuanbao were buried inside, and grandma Sun was stoned to death. The corpse brother asked him to carry it to the corner first. Xiao Keyi half-turned around and said with a choked voice in his voice.
"What?" The county lord of Rouping suddenly turned black in front of him, and he fell down like this.
Mama Ying's eyes were quick to reach out and try to support the lord of Rouping, but her strength was also limited, but fortunately, a few maids who followed behind her stepped forward to help the person.
"Mother!" The brothers exclaimed.
Seeing this, Mama Ying told the little maid to hurry up to find the doctor, and at the same time stretched out her hand and pinched the people of the county lord of Rouping.
With a leisurely sound, the county lord of Rouping quickly woke up: "Xuanbao, old lady." ”
Xiao Kezhong hurriedly reassured: "Mother, don't worry, the house happened to fall when we came in, so let the subordinates speed up their hands and feet ......." ”
The county lord of Rouping came back to his senses and cried: "How could Xuanbao and the old lady be buried in it? ”
"Oops! The treasure was buried inside. Xiao Mingzhu, who rushed to hear the news, came in and heard this.
Great, Xiao Xuanbao, look at how arrogant you are, don't you have God to take it, Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but grin the corners of his mouth.
When he came back to his senses, he glared at himself with anger on the faces of his elder brothers and the people who found that the county lord of Rouping never got angry, Xiao Mingzhu quickly lowered his head and barely restrained his joyful look.
Raising her head again, Xiao Mingzhu looked anxious: "How is that good?" ”
Although the anxiety on her face was not hidden, the joy in her eyes had not had time to hide, and at this time, no one was flawless to deal with her.
"Everybody go up and help, hurry." Xiao Keren raised his voice
The corners of Xiao Mingzhu's mouth were slightly hooked, she had long wished that Xuanbao was dead, and Mrs. Xiao, this old woman didn't eat hard and soft, and if she couldn't win her over, she would die, so it would be an eyesore.
Buried in the ruins, although it would be more dangerous to stay for a while, but Xuanbao has some ability, Xiao Mingzhu is still not at ease before seeing the corpse.
Seeing that everyone in the West Cross Courtyard was busy, and the people spontaneously rushed to the ruins, they looked forward to speeding up to find their ancestors and grandchildren.
Xiao Mingzhu's eyes were dripping and wandering, and soon her eyes fell on those curtain curtains, all the windows of Qi Meitang used good curtains, not to mention the silk curtains.
Fang Rongru was so sorry that she had done too much, so she naturally wanted to cover it up, and the people outside the curtain couldn't see the situation inside at all.
Xuan Bao's smiling face appeared in front of him, and then he thought that he was so smiling because of her.
The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, although there are many people, but it is also just fishing in troubled waters, Xiao Mingzhu thought about this and turned around decisively.
"You guys, too, go and help." Xiao Mingzhu instructed the people around him.
Several subordinates of Yicai Yuan had long wanted to come forward to help, but because Xiao Mingzhu didn't dare to go up privately, they rushed up as soon as they heard it, after all, the Hou Mansion was the lord of Rouping County, and this was an opportunity for the current people to show their loyalty and brush up their sense of existence.
Xiao Mingzhu secretly ran towards the small kitchen in the west courtyard, and after a while, she rushed towards the ruins after she went and returned.
"Fire, on fire." The flames rose, and Xiao Mingzhu retreated again and again, shouting loudly.
The county lord of Rouping was heartbroken: "Xuanbao, my Xuanbao." ”
Mama Ying pulled the county lord of Rouping back with all her might: "County lord, be careful." ”
The ruins suddenly caught fire, and the fire burned very fast, and the whole yard was surrounded by windows, and where there were windows, there were curtains and curtains, and the cloth burned very quickly.
The Xiao brothers tried to rush in, but the smoke choked them to tears, and the personal servants who were waiting beside them knew their own responsibilities, and they all struggled to bring them to a safe place.
Suddenly, the scene was very chaotic, and no one noticed that Xiao Mingzhu, who had already retreated under the courtyard wall, sneered.
Xiao Xuanbao, even if he wasn't stoned to death, he would be smoked and burned to death, look at how you still oppose me, Xiao Mingzhu couldn't wait to laugh out loud at the moment.
"Bang ——!" There was a loud bang.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and in the firelight, they saw that the collapsed ruins had been smashed out of their heads.
"Xuanbao!" Xiao Kexiao broke free of the restraint and rushed up, and Ngawang also rushed forward.
"Grandmother!" Although Xuanbao's strength is great, it is not easy for a little doll to support an adult like Xiao Taijun.
The county lord of Rouping shouted as he moved his steps excitedly: "Hurry up and take the handle!" ”
Without his mother's orders, at the moment when Xiao Kexiao rushed forward, the brothers came back to their senses and rushed over one by one.
Xuanbao was gray-faced, her little face was like a little cat, she raised her head and looked at a few rushing over or grinning.
"Grandmother." Xiao Kexiao took the first step and stretched out his hand to support Old Taijun Xiao and asked with concern, "Xuanbao? ”
"It's fine." Xuan Bao quickly glanced around, "Brothers, hurry up, the beams of the house are burned and are about to collapse again." ”
Xiao Keyi stepped forward and carried Xiao Lao Taijun behind him, Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren grabbed one of Xuanbao's small hands, and Xiao Kezhong and Xiao Keli delayed.
The brother and sister rushed forward, and the firelight burned the wood in the ruins with a crackling sound, which was terrifying to hear.
Xiao Kezhong and Xiao Kaili, who were running last, rushed out less than a zhang, and the ruins behind them really collapsed again.
"Ah——!h Lord Rouping let out a terrible scream.
This time, it's not just Xuan Bao and Mrs. Xiao, but her children are in danger.
There was a coughing sound in the dust and smoke, Xiao Keyi, who was carrying Xiao Laotaijun on his back, strode out, and Xuanbao, who was closely behind him, was tightly held by Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren, and Xiao Kezhong and Xiao Keli, who appeared last, were also safe and sound.
"Mother!" The brother and sister shouted in unison.
The county lord of Rouping breathed a sigh of relief, and his feet were weak in an instant and he almost couldn't stand, but fortunately, Mama Ying supported him.
Xiao Mingzhu's eyes widened in disbelief, she never expected that Xuanbao would come out alive in this situation, and she couldn't burn her to death with all her efforts and recklessness.
