Chapter 785： fire

"Don't forget to throw that **** at the entrance of the village after it's done, so that everyone in the village can see it." Shen Lixia instructed.

"rest assured!"

The three men would not take pity on Xiangxiyu and take money to do business. Shen Lixia lit a fire, and the northwest wind blew at night, the fire slowly grew bigger, and thick smoke billowed, but the Shen family had not lived for a long time, and it was midnight again. The villagers slept very deeply and did not notice the fire.

The Shen family's house was not a single-family house, but an old half-brick and half-wood house. It was an old house bought by Huang Fengxian who moved from the village. It was surrounded by many other people's houses, and they were all brick-and-wood structures. In an old house, once one family catches fire, dozens of other families will suffer.

Standing outside the door, Shen Lixia watched the growing fire, and began to panic. Shen Yuzhu confessed to him, and when the house was half-burned, he began to shout, attracting the attention of the villagers and creating opportunities for the three thugs.

But now, Shen Lixia can't wait for half of the burn, he is afraid that he won't have time to escape at that time, and if he is caught by the villagers, he will die.

So, after only one third of the fire was burned, Shen Lixia couldn't stand it anymore and started to shout, "It's on fire, come and put out the fire!"

The barking was unusually harsh in the middle of the night. A dog began to bark wildly, and then all the dogs in the village began to bark. The noise was so loud that the sleeping villagers were awakened. The two families next to the Shen family were the first to notice something was wrong. The smoke billows, and there is a burning smell, and the fool knows that it is a fire.

The two families were so frightened that they didn't have time to put on their clothes and ran out barefoot. One of them was the Huang Shilin family, the one who was going to hold a banquet for the eldest son Huang Baomin some time later, and Huo Jinzhi. Grab the potato field.

Huang Shilin was only wearing a single shirt, and his wife Yu Mengdi, who was also wearing a single shirt, ran out in a panic. Seeing the firelight that turned red in the night sky, Huang Shilin was stunned, and quickly ran back to the yard to get a bucket to fetch water. , Yu Mengdi rushed home like crazy, and came out with a basket of cigarettes after a while.

"Baomin, hurry up and pick up the sewing machine, and take out whatever you can!"

Yu Mengdi screamed frantically, she had to hold a wedding party in a few days, and the cigarettes, wedding candy, and return gifts were all ready, exhausted her family's savings, and borrowed a lot of debt. money to pay debts.

The other people also woke up and ran out in a panic. When they saw the fire that was getting bigger and bigger, they didn't need to be greeted.

But at this time, Mopanshan has not yet opened tap water, and all use is well water, and not every household has a well, usually a dozen households share a well, or go to the mountain to draw spring water. In general, Mopanshan is not Villages with abundant water resources.

In addition, the northwest wind blowing tonight, the fire that was finally extinguished, the wind blew violently again, and it was impossible to control it. It happened that Huang Shilin's house happened to be north of Shen's house, and the fire spread to Huang Shilin's house. .

What's even more unfortunate is that the warehouse where Huang Shilin's house put things is the one closest to the Shen's house.

"Who can help? There are still a lot of things that have not been taken out. They are all used by Baomin to get married. The family's money has been spent... I have to take it out..."

Yu Mengdi was insane, rushing in to save things regardless of the fire, but was dragged by Huang Shilin and his son.
