But compared to the villagers who fought the fire, the fatigue she suffered last night was far less than theirs.

Li Changlong quickly took off his coat and draped it over Lu Qiqi, saying, "You've been in the water all night, it's too cold. I'll boil some water for you to take a hot bath when we get back."

Lu Qiqi glanced at the villagers who were weeping with their faces covered, but didn't say much. Six houses had been destroyed.

It was only under her command that the losses were reduced.

Fortunately, the villagers were relatively safety-conscious, and no one risked their lives to run back to retrieve valuables.

That's how the fire saved a villager's life.

Burns and cuts are inevitable when fighting fires, but they are not serious.

Everyone is exhausted now, so talking about finding the root cause of the flood is just empty talk.

There's no rush to do this. The important thing right now is to conserve our energy and find the root cause.

Lu Qiqi said, "Second Brother, I'm going to talk to Village Chief Niu about something."

Upon hearing this, Li Changlong did not follow, but simply stood there and waited.

Lu Qiqi walked over to Niu Dahang, whose voice had already gone hoarse from shouting all night.

The word "village head" made Lu Qiqi's eyelids twitch.

Upon seeing Lu Qiqi, Niu Xiaozhou assumed she had come to interrogate him and hurriedly said, "Village Head, we didn't start this fire! We didn't know..."

"I understand."

Many villagers focused their attention on them, and Lu Qiqi immediately interrupted Niu Xiaozhou.

Then, Lu Qiqi instructed, "Don't say anything about how the fire started last night or when it was discovered. Keep everything to yourself. Find a place to rest and recharge before making any further plans."

Upon hearing this, Niu Xiaozhou nodded blankly, unsure whether Lu Qiqi believed him or not.

He watched helplessly as Lu Qiqi's figure disappeared from sight.
