Chapter 197: Clichés
With the ingenuity of Ye Caitang, who is the third in the world, this mere fire is naturally nothing.
The fire burned all the way out along the wind, and the tongue of fire quickly licked the door, burning the iron door red and sizzling.
Outside the gate of the courtyard, a ditch of nearly 30 meters has been dug, not to mention that the young man who knows martial arts is neat and neat.
They were all trained in the army, and they were all in good shape, but unfortunately Ye Caitang didn't dare to look at it more, for fear of ruining his character in Chu Shijing's heart.
The villagers were found from the nearest place, and the money was given, and everyone also caught up with their ox carts and donkey carts, carried buckets and pots, and filled them with water.
It's troublesome, but there's a little bit of it.
And don't pour it into the fire, because by the time they arrive, you can already feel the burning breath from outside, and it is pointless to pour that little water on it.
So Ye Caitang instructed everyone to pour water into the ditch dug in front of them, wet the soil, and then continue to go back to carry water.
The fire quickly burned out, but there was nothing left to burn outside, and naturally it slowly went out.
Everyone stood outside the isolation zone, watching in horror, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Tong wiped the sweat from his face: "This fire can be regarded as extinguished." ”
It's really hard to say what came out of this trip, I thought it was a simple inspection of an old house, and I didn't hope to check out anything.
According to Xia Yue's words, they are all here.
Who would have thought that not only did they find out something strange, but everyone also hit one after another, and even extinguished a fire.
Everyone sat down on the spot regardless of their image, and they were really exhausted.
Everyone's clothes can't be wanted, their hair can't be wanted, their faces can't be wanted, although they are not blackened, but they are mud and dirt, mixed with sweat and water, how can they be described in two words.
Ye Caitang didn't dig a pit, he had the best image among them, but that's it, he couldn't ask for clothes when he went back, and he couldn't wash them.
After sitting for a while, Xia Yue said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to enter today, General Chu, take your people to rest for a while." ”
The villagers brought another batch of water, and this time they could approach the house and pour it on the ashes, which had no open flames.
But you still can't get too close, if you get close, you will have a burning feeling, unless there is a rainstorm, otherwise, when the fire cools down by itself, you can't get in today.
Chu Shijing was very depressed, he felt that he had been away all these years, and the life and death situation was not as embarrassed as it is today.
But after thinking about it, there was no other way but to nod.
At the moment, Chu Shijing and Xia Yue discussed, leaving a few people to guard the place, and the others went back to repair and came back tomorrow.
Uncle Chen was stunned again.
What's been going on lately.
He, the housekeeper of Red Leaf Villa, is said to be a housekeeper, but in fact, he is a pensioner, and he is very leisurely.
Sleep until you wake up naturally every day, then eat and drink, tease the birds, walk the dog, play a set of tai chi, read a book, soak in a hot spring, drink a little wine, and sleep.
Xia Yue is busy, at most two or three times a year in winter, how can there be such a few days.
Came, came again, and every time I came, it was like an escape.
And bring a bunch of people every time.
Uncle Chen was a little worried: "Young Master, this ...... Did something happen? ”
"Are you alright?" Xia Yue waved his hand: "Arrange for General Chu to change clothes with everyone, wash up, and eat something." ”
This day was busy, everyone didn't bother to drink a sip of water and eat a mouthful of food, although they could hold on, they were all tired.
Uncle Chen hurriedly responded and ordered his subordinates to do things.
Ye Caitang is also tired enough,
Ran away after entering the Red Leaves Courtyard, she was already familiar with the door, with her own room, her own change of clothes, and the little maid she knew.
Xia Yue had never brought a female dependent here, Uncle Chen and the people in the courtyard began to be startled, thinking that the young master had brought his sweetheart to recognize the door, but he recognized it and was a subordinate.
However, Ye Caitang is easy to get along with, has a cheerful and lively personality, and soon gets acquainted with the little girl.
There are so many people in the courtyard today, and they are all strange men, so it is not suitable to go to the hot springs, and a bath bucket is prepared in the room, and Ye Caitang soaks in it comfortably.
Rich people are exquisite, and the little maid leaned on the side to chat with her while sprinkling flower petals into the bathtub.
I don't know what the use of this petal is sprinkled in.
"Xiaoye." The little maid and Ye Caitang are already friends: "You are a girl's family, you are really not afraid of doing tricks." ”
"I must have been scared the first few times, but I won't be scared anymore." Ye Caitang was drowsy in the water, suddenly remembered something, and opened his eyes: "Xiao Yuan, have you been in this courtyard for a long time?" ”
"yes." Lin Xiaoyuan nodded: "My father and mother are both from the Xia family, and I am naturally too." After the young master returned to Beijing, I came with me, and I have been in this courtyard for more than three years. ”
Ye Caitang quickly sorted out several important pieces of information from Lin Xiaoyuan's casual sentence.
The Xia family is a big family, but the family is not in the capital, I don't know where it is, I haven't heard Xia Yue mention it, and of course it's not easy to ask.
Xia Yue didn't grow up in the capital, but returned to the capital more than three years ago. Lin Xiaoyuan used the word back, it can be seen that Xia Yue should have been in the capital, but later left.
Xia Yue didn't leave alone, to be precise, it was the Xia family who left. Then Xia Yue came back at a certain age.
And after he returned to the capital, he immediately became the chief catcher of the six doors, which Xia Yue had already inquired about, Xia Yue had been the chief catcher of the six doors for nearly three years, and he was almost airborne.
At this age, with this qualifications, and in this position, you are either a genius or someone above.
No wonder it's so rich.
Ye Caitang thought sourly, he didn't care about the six doors at all, just like Xie Zhi, that little bit was not enough for them.
People are more angry than people.
Ye Caitang pretended to be casual and said, "Your father and mother are all right." ”
It's like a homely conversation.
"It's all good." Lin Xiaoyuan said: "They are all very strong, and they sent me a letter last month, and I won't read it, but Steward Chen helped me read it." ”
Therefore, although the Xia family left Beijing for some reason, the family background is still there, and there may be changes, but the changes are not big.
Ye Caitang said: "It's good to be in good health, do you miss them, the young master won't take you back to see." ”
Lin Xiaoyuan was naïve, how did he know that Ye Caitang was talking, and pouted while sprinkling flower petals: "It's a little bit of a thought, although it's idle here, it's sometimes boring." I don't know when the young master will go back, can he take me back to have a look. ”
Looking at the little girl's demeanor, Xia Yue must be kind to them on weekdays.
This is not surprising, Ye Caitang has also gotten along with Xia Yue for a few days, knowing that he looks serious, but in fact, his temper is really good, as long as you don't make trouble, he is willing to talk to you in a gentle voice, and he is a humble gentleman raised in a strict family.
