Chapter 379 The Flower Picker

Chu Shijing and his party felt like they had just come back to their senses, and couldn't help but said: "I didn't set the fire..."

Looking at Xia Yue's expression, Ye Caitang felt that Xia Yue wanted to curse someone, but considering Chu Shijing's face, he held it back.

"I'll go take a look." Xia Yue stood up.

They had always thought that Chu Shijing led his men to set the fire, and that they might have been forced to set the fire to relieve themselves. But now it seems that the origin of the fire is unknown, which makes it even more troublesome.

Wang Tong and Liu Sha both stood up quickly: "Sir, we will go with you."

How could they let Xia Yue enter alone, not to mention that Xia Yue was injured.

Chu Shijing also stood up.

"I'll go." Chu Shijing wiped his face.

He's not that cowardly either.

Xia Yue waved his hand: "I won't go in, I will just take a look from a distance."

If it was already burning inside, it would be useless for Xia Yue to rush in no matter how good his martial arts skills were. Water and fire have no mercy. In the face of natural disasters, personal power is pitiful.

After Xia Yue finished speaking, he jumped in, but Ye Caitang stood up, looked at the yard with a heavy face, and then said: "Brother Liu, please accompany me to look around."

No one understood, not even Chu Shijing, but Liu Sha followed anyway.

Ye Caitang is very worried now.

She was worried about the same thing as Xia Yue, about the fire in the house.

There are a lot of flammable materials in the house, but there is a lack of water. There are only a few wells in the house, but there is no water in them. They have been in disrepair for many years, and the tools for drawing water have been abandoned. It is very difficult to draw a large amount of water from them.

.

The nearest water source was the creek that Xia Yue took them to before. It was unrealistic to bring water from there unless the fire was kept burning all the way to the creek.

Chu Shijing's face also looked ugly. He couldn't sit still anymore, wiped his face with his sleeve, and entered the house again.

If the fire breaks out and something big happens, he will be blamed.

Ye Caitang walked along the wall of the house, Liu Sha followed beside him.

"What's wrong with Xiaoye?" Liu Sha thought he still understood Ye Caitang: "Do you not want to stay with Chu Shijing? Don't worry. With us here, how dare he, surnamed Chu, be rude to you?"

In the past, Liumenmen did not have much contact with the Chu family, but Chu Shixuan was a well-known playboy in the capital. In Wang Tong, Liu Sha and Xie Zhi’s heart, how could he be worthy of our smart, lovely, innocent big man?

girl.

Although Xiaoxia is not a lady, other than this, she is no worse than others. Liu Sha and the others feel they have an obligation to take care of important matters in life.

"No, I'm worried about the fire." Ye Caitang grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and slowly let it go: "There is wind now. The wind is blowing from inside the house, and the fire will soon burn out."

Suddenly, Liu Sha felt that his situation was small.

They stood outside the courtyard wall and could even hear the sound of burning.

The bushes outside have more dead branches, and once the fire breaks out, it will be even more unstoppable.

What's even worse is that now we don't even dare to let everyone go in to put out the fire. Who knows whether you will put out the fire or throw yourself into the fire after entering.

Ye Caitang said: "You can't let the fire burn out."

Although Liu Sha has experienced many cases with Xia Yue, he has never put out a fire. There is a fire-fighting organization in the capital called the Hidden Fire Army, but it will take some time to get there.

Liu Sha said: "When the adults come out, if it really burns inside, call for help."

Ye Caitang sighed: "Don't wait any longer. When people are called from the capital, this fire will be uncontrollable."

They must have never experienced a fire burning for days and nights, so they could reach such an agreement.

Even Xia Yue and Chu Shijing were too calm about this matter.

This is not a matter of one plus one equals one, a gradual process. When the fire starts, it will be overwhelming.

Seeing that we can no longer count on these, Ye Caitang said: "Brother Liu, do you believe me?"

Liu Sha said without hesitation: "Of course I believe you, do you need to say this?"

After entering the sixth door, you are one of your own. What's more, they have worked together for a while. Everyone sees Ye Caitang's behavior and is a down-to-earth and talented person.

Ye Caitang was very pleased.

Although entering the Six Doors was confusing and even a little helpless, the colleagues in the Six Doors made her really feel loved by her colleagues.

After Xia Yue entered the house, he didn't dare to get too close. He didn't want to get another stab in his arm.

The fire started from the house in the yard where they spent the night, and now it has ignited the shrubs and dead trees nearby, and has also ignited the surrounding yard.

But because the wind blows towards the door, the fire basically comes in this direction. There is an open space on the other side with only weeds, so the fire does not go too far.

Xia Yue took a few steps and could even see the burning heat. He frowned and stepped back. Chu Shijing was now making a big fuss.

Just after taking a few steps back, Chu Shijing also came in.

The two stood side by side, and Xia Yue said in a deep voice: "Call someone to put out the fire."

There was no water in the well in the house, so the only way to put out the fire was by transporting water from the nearest creek and swatting.

No matter what, it's not something dozens of them can do.

Chu Shijing said, "I'll go back to the capital and call for help."

Xia Yue said: "I'll go take a look around."

The two of them quickly turned around and rushed out of the door, both stunned.

The scene outside was in full swing.

Chu Shijing's men, Liu Sha and Wang Tong, were digging in the soil. Each man had a shovel in his hand, and they were digging vigorously.

They did bring shovels because they were afraid that something might be hidden under the house. The worst possible possibility was that they would have to dig up the entire ground of the house and dig three feet deep. But what were they doing?

Ye Caitang also rolled up her sleeves, but she didn't dig, and she couldn't dig. She was watching, as if she was supervising the work.

Xia Yue walked over: "Xiaoye."

What are you doing?

When Ye Caitang saw Xia Yue coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, you are out, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xia Yue pointed: "What is this?"

"Dig a fire break." Ye Caitang said, "Xie Zhi went to the nearby village to look for people. We were afraid we wouldn't have time to dig first. Fortunately, the wind is not strong today. Depending on the weather, it may rain."

If the wind is strong, a fire break zone of 60 meters in this kind of forest cannot be built. Without large machinery, the fire break zone of 60 meters must be dug manually. I am afraid that the fire will have reached the capital by the time the digging is completed.

Xia Yue and Chu Shixuan's expressions were both complicated.

Xia Yue hesitated and said, "Did you ask them to dig it?"

Ye Caitang didn't think there was anything wrong.

Moreover, Chu Shijing's people are quite sensible and understand things as soon as they are told. They are not pedantic and insist on waiting for Chu Shijing to come out before taking action.

"Yes, sir, is the fire inside out of control?"

"We really can't control it with just a few of us." Xia Yue said: "We are planning to find someone, you... did a good job."

"That's not true." Liu Sha joined in the fun and said, "Xiaoye also knows how to put out fires. He is really knowledgeable and talented."

Ye Caitang cupped his hands and said: "Just average, third in the world."

Xia Yue asked: "Who is first and second?"

"..." Ye Caitang was stunned for a moment and said seriously: "The first is my father, and the second is of course you, sir."
