The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 119 Who started the fire (1)

Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Mo Dashan was completely dumbfounded while holding the fire certificate.

He wanted to set a fire to burn some wood to cause trouble for Mo Qingze, but he didn't set a fire, so why did it start burning?

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger with the wind, and the flames were almost reaching the huts nearby, Mo Dashan woke up from a dream, rushed to the house closest to the fire, slammed the door and shouted: "It's on fire. , it’s on fire, get up and put out the fire!”

The temperature is getting more and more scorching. If the fire is not put out, the thatched houses in this area will be burned down, and maybe people will be burned to death. Mo Dashan is really anxious.

As soon as the family who was woken up heard "fire" and heard the crackling sound of burning outside, they were so frightened that they didn't even have time to put on their clothes properly. They ran out with only a jacket on, threatening to burn their home if they saw the fire. When he came, he yelled, rushed back to the house to wake up the others, and ran to the kitchen in panic with a wooden bucket to put out the fire.

Mo Dashan saw this and grabbed him: "This fire is too big and cannot be extinguished with water. Now move the surrounding wood away quickly to prevent the fire from coming over."

The man was so panicked that he didn't think of this. After listening to Mo Dashan's words, he quickly threw away the barrel and ran to move the wood placed under the eaves.

This man's surname is Lin, and his name is Lin Mu. He is from the Lin family and is proficient in carpentry. Most of the purlins and rafters of the wood prepared for the Mo family last year were processed by him.

At this time, seeing the piles of wood being engulfed by the fire, Lin Mu was so anxious that he wished he could grow a few more hands and **** the wood out.

After a while, his parents, mother-in-law and brothers also came out to help and moved all the unburned wood to one side.

While Lin Mu and his family were grabbing wood, Mo Dashan had already run to other villagers' homes, knocking on the doors of each house, waking up the villagers to put out the fire quickly.

The dozen or so families in the row all belonged to the Lin family. Not only did they care about the kindness of the Mo family, but they also had to rush to put out the fire for their own safety, so they all put on their shoes and ran out to put out the fire.

Lin Yong, who lived at the end, was also woken up by the noise outside. When he learned that there was a fire, he rushed out without saying a word.

Mo Qingze, who was sleeping on the construction site and taking care of the materials, was woken up by the villagers. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and ran over barefoot. Looking at the raging fire, his legs were weak.

By this time, the fire had burned half of the sky, and you could feel the scorching heat from a distance. Everyone was rushing to grab the surrounding wood to prevent the fire from spreading to the house.

The Mo family has a lot of wood, most of which were prepared with the help of the Lin family. Not only one family has piled up the wood, but there are also more or less a dozen nearby houses. Among them, the pile on fire is the largest, with trees dried one by one. Wooden beams, if this fire continues, all the wooden beams will probably be destroyed.

More than half an hour later, all the surrounding rafters and purlins were rescued, successfully preventing the fire from spreading to the house. The villagers looked at the burned wooden beams in silence and sighed.

Mo Qingze sat on the ground with weak legs and weak feet. His whole body was limp and he had no strength at all. At this time, he was sweating profusely and his face was covered with black dust. Looking at the still burning wooden beams, he couldn't stop feeling. He was afraid: "Why did it catch on fire after everything was fine? Fortunately, the house was not set on fire. Thank you!"

 Otherwise, if someone is burned to death, the Mo family’s sin will be great.

When the villagers on the side heard what Mo Qingze said, they said angrily: "Someone must have set the fire deliberately. He wants to kill us. We must find this person and send him to the Yamen."

"That's right, there was no thunder today, and it was midnight. If we hadn't set the fire intentionally, it wouldn't have started burning."
