Song Qingci didn't want to fumigate with mugwort anymore. After going down to the field, he cleaned up quickly to avoid causing a fire.
Then she lay down without washing her face or feet.
She thought she would have trouble sleeping tonight.
She didn't know how long she tossed and turned in bed. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the shrill sound of a gong outside.
"The fire is coming, the fire is coming..."
Song Qingci didn't hear clearly at first, so he rubbed his eyes and listened carefully.
After she heard it clearly, she lost all sleepiness, sat up immediately and looked around in panic.
She thought there was a fire in her house.
My goodness, Mr. Fu Sanye’s “Be careful with fire” is like a curse.
Fortunately, she wasn't always so unlucky.
For example, this time, it was just a false alarm.
It wasn't that she was on fire.
Song Qingci heard hurried footsteps outside and knew that Mr. Fu San had also heard the noise and had gone out to check.
Mr. Fu San's footsteps were actually very light, and most of the time she couldn't notice them.
Song Qingci thought of the embarrassment he felt tonight and couldn't help but mutter to himself angrily: What a good material for a thief!
So he ran to the mountains to become a bandit, huh!
"Girl, girl, are you awake?"
"Wake up, Fengxun, wait."
Song Qingci put on his clothes, stood up and opened the door.
Feng Xun wanted to help her put on her clothes, "Girl, please get out quickly. The fire is too big and it's smoky outside."
Why does it feel like the whole mountain is about to burn down?
Song Qingci didn't delay, put on his clothes, and was pulled out by Feng Xun.
She was also worried about Songzi.
I wonder if this fire will hurt the pine nuts.
"What are you thinking about?" Feng Xun said as he ran, "It's not a fool. It won't run away when it's on fire! It runs faster than you. Hurry up, catch up."
Song Qingci was panting.
Feng Xun, I really can't keep up with you!
You are a woman who even the wind cannot catch up with, and I am a lazy man who even the wind cannot blow me away. Our physical fitness is not even a little bit worse, okay?
The other people in the village were also awakened from their sleep, and many men came out with their upper bodies naked and wearing only shorts.
Most of the women were in disarray, holding onto their collars and looking around in panic.
"What the hell is going on?"
"How could the granary be flooded?"
"This is the food that the young lady just brought back!" a woman burst into tears.
The distribution of things on the mountain is very fair, and everyone has a share of food.
Those are all fine grains!
At this beginning, many people started crying. For a while, choking sounds, sobbing sounds, and crying and cursing sounds were heard one after another.
Song Qingci looked at the raging flames, which illuminated half of the mountain in red.
She frowned and couldn't help wondering, how could it be such a coincidence, and the fire was so astonishingly big.
Although autumn is dry and prone to water leakage, granaries are designed with fire prevention measures in mind.
For some reason, she always felt that things were not that simple. She even felt that someone was deliberately making trouble and was unwilling to see the good things happen to the mountain.
Could it be that someone has come to suppress the bandits?
Could it be Governor Sun?
Song Qingci's heart suddenly became nervous.
If that were the case, and the people on the mountain knew that it was her who caused the disaster, would they eat her alive?
But she could still afford to pay for this little bit of food.
I hope the silver can calm the anger of the people in the mountains.
Song Qingci felt that her mother was truly a clear-headed person.
My mother said that money is a person’s best confidence.
Since going up the mountain, every time she encountered a big event, Song Qingci would feel much more relaxed when she thought of the 100,000 taels of silver notes she had.
Mr. Fu Sanye and his men were fighting the fire.
His tall back was coated with a layer of golden light by the firelight, making him look even more upright and handsome.
At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and he stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.
"Someone, check all the roads leading up the mountain to see if there's anything unusual!"
"yes!"
Song Qingci breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Fu Sanye thought the same thing as her.
As long as Mr. Fu San is concerned, she doesn't have to worry about anything.
"The fire in the granary cannot be put out." Master Fu San's voice remained calm and composed.
Song Qingci bit his lip.
This was also her judgment.
The fire was so intense, like... like someone poured oil on it, it was impossible to put out.
In that case, let’s just give up.
After all, in addition to the granary, there is also a huge mountain stronghold.
If the other places were not separated from the granary, I am afraid the stronghold would be burned down.
"Separate them, separate them!" Bai Ya shouted at the top of her lungs. "Don't save them. The grain is burned. I can buy more. Human lives are more important, and the stronghold is more important. There's no need to rush forward. Separate the fire and abandon the granary!"
She is here too.
And you can tell that she is really anxious.
Song Qingci quietly stepped back.
At this time, don't think that the previous grudges are unpleasant.
She can't help much, so don't become a hindrance to others.
"The young lady is right!" someone in the crowd echoed.
"Yes, listen to the young lady!"
Bai Ya's prestige in the mountains, like the fire, reached an unprecedented height.
Mr. Fu Sanye had the composure to remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of him. Even now, he remained composed.
He said: "Abandon the granary, protect other places, each of you look after your own children, and don't rush into chaos."
The crowd, like headless flies, began to move according to orders.
Bai Ya suddenly said, "Look carefully for any thieves. There's something wrong with this fire. I suspect there are spies on our mountain, and someone set the fire on purpose!"
When Song Qingci heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
She didn't know if it was because of her petty thoughts, but she vaguely felt that Bai Ya seemed to be targeting her?
A spy on the mountain?
The quota for going up the mountain has been so tight recently that after Song Qingci took Feng Xun up the mountain, no one else went up the mountain.
Except Bai Ya.
But Bai Ya was originally from the mountains, so she doesn't count.
Now Bai Ya keeps saying that there is a spy on the mountain, so isn't it possible that I am also a big suspect?
"Everyone, pay attention and keep a close eye on it! If anyone really dares to set fire, she will be cut into pieces!" Bai Ya looked at Song Qingci and said viciously.
Song Qingci said nothing, remaining frank and calm.
She is not afraid of things she has never done before.
If she had to be afraid, she would only be afraid that Bai Ya was deliberately trying to harm her.
But Song Qingci thought again, Bai Ya would not set the fire herself and pay such a huge price to plot against her.
After all, it was she who found the food, and it also carried the hopes of so many people on the mountain. Could she do it?
Love makes people crazy, and unrequited love makes people twisted.
These words suddenly popped up in Song Qingci's mind.
