Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 243
"Sanlang, the water is gone, the water is gone."

That night, just as Zhang Qingfeng was going to bed, someone knocked on his bedroom door.

Zhang Qingfeng quickly put on his clothes and opened the door, only to see the shocked old man Liu at the door.

"What's the water? Is the Qiantang River high tide?" Zhang Qingfeng asked inexplicably.

"It's burning, it's burning in the city, look over there." Old man Liu pointed in one direction and said.

"Oh my God."

When Zhang Qingfeng looked in the direction that Old Man Liu was pointing at, he saw that half of the sky in Lin'an City had already been reddened.

At this time, many people were alarmed, and there was a commotion all around for a while.

"Quick, get everyone up, let's fight the fire." Zhang Qingfeng said to old man Liu.

"Whatever the fire is, it's burned like this, I'm afraid it can't be saved."

At this time, the rest of the Liu family also got up.

The fire in Lin'an City burned so much that the outside of the city was like daylight, which shows how big the fire is.

Zhang Qingfeng quickly remembered that according to historical records, on the night of March 1201, 23 AD, a fire broke out in Lin'an City, which burned for three days and nights before it was extinguished.

The fire destroyed more than 5 households and affected as many as 18 people.

"Uncle Liu, call the people from our drama troupe, let's go to the city to fight the fire." Zhang Qingfeng said to old man Liuliu's eldest son.

"It's none of our business, right?" someone said.

"It's none of our business, we have to go to the city to fight the fire, even if it doesn't help." Zhang Qingfeng said firmly.

It is impossible for him not to take advantage of such a good opportunity to gain reputation.

Fighting the fire is definitely not going to save the fire. People can't get close to such a big fire.

However, even if it's just a show, it can also make a name for the theater troupe.

"Mr. Liu, you don't have to go. You can help me find someone outside the city to buy various bricks, stones and tiles for building a house tomorrow. After this fire, I guess all the materials for building a house will increase in price. My side I have more than 4000 yuan, you can help me buy these materials, as much as you want." Zhang Qingfeng said to old man Liu.

Four thousand guan is not a small amount, but Zhang Qingfeng believes that old man Liu will not seek his money, because all members of the Liu family perform dramas with him, and they can earn more than ten or twenty guan every day, and several hundred guan a month. , Four thousand guan is the number they earn for most of the year.

For this little money, they wouldn't break up with Zhang Qingfeng.

"Yes, that's a good idea." Old man Liu's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Qingfeng's words.

The fire in the city has burned half of the sky. How many fires have to be burned? When the time comes, these people will definitely need building materials to build their houses. Now is the time to hoard building materials.

Zhang Qingfeng, as the head of the drama troupe, quickly sent Liu's family out and informed all the drama troupe members one by one.

Two hours later, more than 100 people from the theater troupe gathered at Liu's house.

"Everyone, we are going to fight fires in the city, not to die, so if you encounter someone who cannot be saved, don't try to rescue them, and protect your own safety first..."

Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone: "If someone asks who you are, you should say that you are from the Yangliu Drama Troupe. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Everyone agreed in unison.

"Take your buckets, let's go, let's go."

Finally, Zhang Qingfeng waved his hand and headed towards the city first.

Others, men, women, young and old, also followed behind.

At this time, Lin'an City was in chaos, countless people were running and shouting, and there were also countless people carrying buckets to the fire scene to rescue the disaster.

Zhang Qingfeng led more than 100 people. They carried buckets, washbasins, and water tanks, which attracted many people's attention.

"Good."

Someone gave a thumbs up to Zhang Qingfeng and his group.

When Zhang Qingfeng and the others arrived at the destination, it was surrounded by people watching the excitement.

In some places where there was no fire, the people saw that the fire was about to spread, and they all rushed to save the precious things in their homes.

People from the Fire Protection Department of Lin'an City were also on the edge of the fire, but they couldn't put out the fire because the fire was too intense.

Most of the houses in Lin'an City are made of wood. Due to the high housing prices, some spaces are basically used by the people of Lin'an to build houses and rent them out.

As a result, the houses in the entire block were basically housed next to each other, and when the fire came together, the houses were directly burned down one by one.

Because the houses are too dense, it is impossible to isolate a firebreak. Whether it is the people of Lin'an or the officials of the government, they can only watch countless houses burn down.

After Zhang Qingfeng arrived with more than 100 people, he could only stare.

"Help rescue supplies." Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone.

Next, Zhang Qingfeng took all the members of the drama troupe and began to help the people in the city rescue supplies.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome, we're from the Yangliu Drama Troupe, so it's fun to help others."

Members of countless theater troupes shuttled from house to house to help the people rescue supplies.

Whenever someone thanked them, they would say: "You are welcome, we are from the Yangliu Drama Troupe, and you are our parents. It is our duty to help everyone."

At this time, all buckets, washbasins, and water tanks were discarded.

Now everyone only does one thing, and that is to help the people rescue valuable supplies.

There are still many people like Zhang Qingfeng and others. When encountering such natural and man-made disasters, there will always be kind people.

Of course, there are good ones, and there are also evil ones. Seeing such a chaotic situation, some people start to fish in troubled waters and take other people's things for themselves. Of course, this is a minority after all.

Zhang Qingfeng and others spent the whole night in Lin'an City to rescue them.

During the daytime of the next day, the fire was still spreading. After everyone went home and had a meal, they did not rest and continued to help with disaster relief.

It wasn't until the afternoon that some people couldn't hold it any longer and went home to rest.

Those who can survive, such as Zhang Qingfeng, are still on the front line of disaster relief.

The fire continued to spread, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the imperial court quickly joined the disaster relief campaign.

They used buckets of water to try to put out the fire, but in the end they could only do so in vain.

The next day, under the order of the imperial court, countless soldiers forcibly demolished some buildings in the area that had not yet spread, and opened up a isolation zone.

Even so, this is not the end, countless officials mobilized the people to prepare water-filled utensils at the side of the isolation zone, and when the fire spread, they would forcefully suppress the fire with everyone's concerted efforts.

Zhang Qingfeng brought all the members of the theater troupe to join in this operation, and those who were unwilling to participate were directly expelled by Zhang Qingfeng.

On the third day, with a heavy rain, the fire was finally extinguished, and Zhang Qingfeng and his party were almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

However, as Zhang Qingfeng led the theater troupe to participate in the rescue, they also received praise from many people in Lin'an.

Many people in Lin'an knew that there was a theater troupe, and more than 100 people barely closed their eyes for three days and three nights for disaster relief.
