Chapter 21 Steward Hong is playing with fire

On the night of the two of them, the nine groups caught fire.

The place where the fire broke out was a pyre, and the time of the fire was early in the morning.

At this time in the wee hours of the morning, everyone is still basically in a dream.

Although it was autumn, the weather was dry and dry, and a single spark could cause a fire, but this was by no means a reason for the nine groups to catch fire.

The pile of firewood has always been there, new firewood for old firewood, since the establishment of the nine groups, at least seven or eight hundred years of history, these seven or eight hundred years have not occurred a grain of ignition, why did it catch fire in the early hours of yesterday morning?

It is impossible to say that the nine groups do not pay attention to potential safety hazards and have no fire prevention measures, otherwise, this pile of firewood with a very long history has been burned dozens of times early.

A cadre of people was busy fighting the fire, wooden basins and buckets took turns to fight, basins and buckets were splashed on the firewood stacks, helpless to dry the firewood, the flames had burned the firewood stacks thoroughly, and when the fire was finally extinguished at dawn, only one-third of the firewood was rescued, which could only last for seven days.

"You're like that fire, a raging flame, burning my ......"

Just when everyone was busy with the smoke, an untimely song rang out.

Cao Hong saw Du Mu happily humming a minor tune while washing his black dirty face next to the water tank, and couldn't help but be furious, "Little junior brother, you are singing this song now, it is very undesirable." ”

"Oh, then I'll change it. Du Mu grinned at him, his dark face showed two rows of white teeth, and sang: "My heart rises and falls, like that beating ...... fire."

Cao Hong roared: "Little Du Mu ......"

"It's weird. "Qilian Mountain Road.

"That guy only came here during the day last day, and it caught fire in the early hours of the night, and if you want to say that there are no ghosts in it, I don't believe it if you die. Cao Hong said angrily.

"It seems to be quite a coincidence, and your suspicions are quite reasonable," Qi Lianshan spread his hands and said, "However, we have no evidence." ”

"There is no evidence, we can go for evidence. Cao Hong said: "I don't believe that they can do it without leakage." ”

Qi Lianshan shook his head and said, "A fire, all the evidence is gone." ”

"We're gone here, there's still there. Cao Hong glanced in a certain direction and said, "Even if there isn't, I will let him have it." ”

Qi Lianshan said: "After all, we are under the control of the other party, and if we do this, if we go out, the trouble will be even greater." ”

Cao Hong said: "Then what should we do?"

Qi Lianshan sighed, "Let's chop wood." ”

Cao Hong lost his voice and said, "Chopping wood?"

Qi Lianshan said: "What else can you do if you don't chop firewood, the remaining firewood will not be available for a few days." Do you want to wait for the guy surnamed Hong to see the joke?"

Cao Hong said angrily: "He still dares to come?"

Qi Lianshan said: "Why doesn't he dare, and I'm sure he'll be there soon." ”

......

"This fire burned out six or seven out of ten, and I think they are in danger this time. "Service office, Sha Huaiyuan said excitedly.

"Well done, I'm going to see how the nine groups escaped from the palm of my hand. Hong Baiquan clenched his fists and said.

"This is over?" Sha Huaiyuan said tentatively.

"Don't rush it. It's not good to show up too early, it's easy to make people suspicious, it's not good to be too late, it seems like we're in the clouds, and it's not good to go after breakfast, and then everything you should know knows. The old god of Hong Baiquan took a sip of tea while he was there.

"Senior brother has always been thoughtful, and it is difficult for senior brother to deal with what happens. ”

Hong Baiquan yawned, stretched his stiff limbs, and rubbed his bloodshot eyes, "After staying up all night, you and I are tired, you can rest and go, and I will sleep for a while." Cultivate enough spirit, and only then can you have the strength to do things during the day. ”

......

A fire in the early hours of the morning alarmed many people, and at breakfast time, from one group to eight groups, it almost spread. The whole service team knew.

Almost every group came, and among these people, some people came to express condolences, some people expressed regret, and some people watched the excitement.

However, no matter how these people made a fuss, the people of the nine groups did not appear, since the fire was extinguished, Qi Lianshan took several people from the nine groups down the mountain to chop wood, and the beautiful name was: Dead fire to replenish firewood. Only Du Mu was left to guard the nine groups of residences.

Tossed by the fire for a morning, Du Mu was sleeping in the house at this time, who would care about those people outside, as long as they didn't set a fire anymore, whatever they looked like.

"What's going on, what's going on, why did such a big thing happen, and no one in the nine groups reported it?" Sha Huaiyuan shouted behind Steward Hong.

Seeing that there were four groups of people in the lively crowd, they hurriedly ran out of a sharp-eyed one, trotted up to meet them, and said with a sneer: "Two stewards, why did you alarm your old man?"

The disciples of the other groups scolded in their hearts one by one, Wang Ba Lamb is a dog leg and a sycophant, isn't the surname Hong the person who went out from the fourth group, is the sycophant to be filmed for this part.

Hong Baiquan said: "If such a big thing happens, can I not come." He sighed and said earnestly: "When I came to inspect the work yesterday, I pointed out that the firewood stack is too close to the stove room, and there are huge safety hazards. ”

As soon as Hong Baiquan opened his mouth, he buttoned down the hat of disobedience and disobedience.

"I have specifically pointed out this hidden danger yesterday, why did such an accident still happen? It disrupted the normal work order of the service group and delayed the cultivation of the senior brothers and sisters, who will bear this responsibility?" Hong Baiquan's tone gradually became serious, and finally, he said in a fierce voice: "I need an explanation, what about the people in the nine groups, are they all dead?" ”

After waiting for a long time, none of the nine groups came forward.

Sha Huaiyuan saw that his leader's face was almost unbearable, and shouted: "Qi Lianshan, get out of here for me and explain what happened to the accident." ”

Du Mu rubbed his eyes, walked out of the room, and said in a daze: "Early in the morning, who is here to call ghosts and ghosts, mourning, the grandfathers of the ninth group are still alive." He sighed and said in surprise: "A lot of senior brothers, this is ...... What's going on?"

Sha Huaiyuan pointed to a pile of ashes in front of the stove room, and said angrily: "What's going on, why did the firewood catch fire? What is such a big thing, why don't you nine groups report it? ”

Du Mu made a fuss and said: "Why did the pyre catch fire? You shouldn't ask me this question, you have to ask the person who set the fire." One sentence made the lively disciples laugh. Du Mu said: "Oh, as for Senior Brother Qi, they went down the mountain to chop wood, delaying the cultivation of the senior brothers and sisters in the inner gate, and our nine groups can't afford it." ”

None of the nine groups were there? They all went down the mountain to chop wood?

It's good not to be there, it's good to go and chop wood.

Hong Baiquan was overjoyed in his heart, his face turned red with excitement, and he roared excitedly, "The people of the ninth group are not here?" I would like to ask Senior Brother Li, disband the nine existing groups, and expel all of you from the sect. ”

As soon as he heard this, the faces of some people next to him suddenly changed greatly, and a few people showed joy on their faces, just as the so-called some people were happy and some were sad.

Du Muqi squinted his eyes, and saw that Hong Baiquan's heart was cold, "Senior Brother Hong, you are playing with fire." ”
