The neighbors panicked and poured water to put out the fire. Jiang Zhiying and Xiao Lin stayed in the house and naturally would not stand idly by.
They also didn't want the fire to actually spread.
So while everyone was putting out the fire, Xiao Lin tried his best to mobilize his spatial abilities and use them to cover the flames.
Anyone who has attended junior high school knows that flames need oxygen to burn. As long as the oxygen is cut off, the flame cannot continue to burn and will go out.
The principle of fire extinguishing is basically to isolate oxygen through various means.
After Xiao Lin wrapped the flame with the power of space, it was equivalent to sealing the flame. Moreover, the sealed space was very small, so there was naturally not much oxygen inside.
So after being wrapped by the power of space, the flame was quickly extinguished.
However, there were quite a few fire points, so Xiao Lin did not dare to be careless. After putting out one fire, he went on to the next.
Soon, all the flames were put out.
Many neighbors came to help, all trying to put out the fire by either pouring water or beating it with brooms.
The scene was very chaotic.
So no one noticed the abnormality at all, and everyone thought that the fire was successfully put out thanks to their efforts.
After the fire was put out, the police and firefighters also rushed over.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the fire was out. However, the firefighters were still cautious and conducted a thorough inspection, fearing that there might be sparks that could ignite the fire again if blown by the wind.
It's summer now, and the temperature is high, making fires very likely to occur. Even if the flames are extinguished, there may still be residual sparks, which can start a fire again if you are not careful.
So you have to check carefully.
It's the middle of the night now. If the fire breaks out while everyone is sleeping and we don't have time to put it out, and the fire spreads to another place, it would be terrible.
During the inspection, firefighters and police found two people lying on the ground.
At first they thought it was someone who lived there, or a neighbor who came to help. However, after asking the neighbors who were present to identify it, they all said they had never seen it before.
So they immediately became alert.
Since it wasn't someone who lived here, nor was it a neighbor who came to help, who could it be?
The police officers looked at each other, realizing that the matter was not simple.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Come and see, there is a lock on the door, and there is someone in the room!"
When the police and firefighters heard about it, they rushed over to check.
Although the wooden door had been charred by the flames, the lock hanging on it could still be seen.
The police officer turned on the flashlight and shone it on the burnt lock, allowing everyone to see it clearly.
"It's locked, that's not right!"
"There's someone inside, rescue them immediately!"
Soon the door was broken open and the people inside were rescued.
Xiao Aiguo and the others had already shouted themselves hoarse, and were in a state of extreme distress. They were terrified, and the smoke choked their throats, leaving them feeling dry and sore.
Xiao Lin was also rescued.
He also looked disheveled, much like the others, his clothes wrinkled like pickles, his hair a mess, but his face was tense and cold.
Because he was young and good-looking, many people couldn't help but feel sorry for him when they saw his miserable appearance.
"How old is this child?"
"It's so pitiful."
"I was locked in the house and nearly burned to death."
"If Old Man Xiao hadn't taken him back, how could he have encountered such a terrible thing?"
Xiao Lin: “…”
