The emaciated villagers in the starving year: ...

What did this child eat to...

Chapter 157 Burning Down the Inn

"Fire! Fire! The inn is on fire!" Xingxing shouted, standing up with a furrowed brow.

"These bastards want to burn us and the inn down together, they want to burn us to death, they're so vicious!" Boss Zhou cursed, and immediately told the three female guards to pack their things and prepare to escape.

But the fire spread extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire inn was engulfed in flames. Choking black smoke billowed into the room, causing everyone to cough from the fumes.

"Jump out the window! Let's jump out the window too!" Old Zhou shouted anxiously. His family couldn't be allowed to die here in such a miserable state.

"Cough cough... It's raining, God is going to send down a heavy rain cough cough..." Xingxing shouted loudly. The little girl was choked by the smoke and tears were streaming down her face, but she was still trying to speak.

“Xingxing, my daughter,” Zhao Guihua ran over and hugged her, shoving her into Tangguo’s arms. “Tangguo, you must take Xingxing with you and run away. You must run away!”

Xingxing struggled and twisted her body, her little voice high-pitched and thin, "I don't want to leave, I want to stay with my parents and brothers, our family will always be together, it will rain, it will rain."

Jingjing and Xiaoxiao were also about to lose it. They hesitated about who to take with them to jump out the window and escape. Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua definitely wanted to save the lives of the Fu brothers. Xingxing was protected by Tangguo. It seemed that they would choose one of the five Fu brothers to take with them.

Quietly glancing at Zhou Sanfu, she liked intelligent and quick-witted people, so she walked towards Zhou Sanfu, but before she could get close, Zhou Sanfu shouted her away.

"Don't come any closer, I won't leave. Take Fifth Brother away and protect him well." Wu Fu is the youngest son, so as the older brother, he naturally has to protect his younger brother.

Xiao Xiao wanted to take Zhou Erfu and Zhou Sifu with her. She was close to the two brothers and wanted to take them with her. However, she was too small to take both of them at once. After seeing that Zhou Erfu had internal injuries, she decided that it would be better to take Zhou Sifu with her instead.

The two women were deep in thought, but it only took a few breaths for them to react. However, before the two female guards could make a move, a loud "boom" suddenly rang out from above, followed by a deafening thunderclap.

"Splash..." In an instant, a torrential downpour came down from the sky, extinguishing the fire in a flash. Then, a gust of wind howled and blew away the choking smoke from the house.

"The fire is out, we're safe now." Old Zhou felt a mix of emotions, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

The inn was partially destroyed by the fire, but the roof and beams were saved. The heavy rain continued, so the Zhou family was relatively safe inside.

They didn't know if the arsonists would come back, so they didn't dare to go to sleep. Boss Zhou and his three female guards were on guard all night.

On Tuesday, he took some oral medication for his injury, lay down, and fell asleep. He's always been in good health, as strong as an ox, so this injury should heal in a few days.
