Chapter 383 The Agarwood Forest Was Burned
Feng Aoqing is taking a nap.
Summer naps are the most comfortable. An Jinge lay on the couch in her room. Siyan was even more exaggerated and spread a mat on the floor because her room was very cool.
Tougu Town has many ice cellars because of the need for a good preservation environment for some medicinal materials, so there is enough ice. Chonglou arranges ice trays in Feng Aoqing's room every day, with ice on the bottom layer and drinks and fruits on the upper layer.
Yu Haokong made her a huge fan, which was controlled by a mechanism and required no electricity or manpower.
So since the hot summer began, the three of them have been sleeping in the same room.
Just as they were sleeping soundly, they heard a loud noise and shouting. All three of them heard it and sat up.
There are only two courtyards in the Ghost Fan Tower. The building is tall and numerous but not deep, so if there is a loud noise on the main street, it can be heard in the second courtyard.
"It must be the sister-in-law Wei next door. She beat her husband so ruthlessly, and her martial arts skills are incredible. At first I thought they were my aunt's people, but later I found out that they were not. They were originally thieves, wanted by several countries, so they hid here and became herbal farmers."
Siyan loves to inquire about things. There is nothing she doesn’t know and no one she doesn’t know on this main street.
"Yes, yes, I've seen it too." Feng Aoqing nodded quickly.
"That's not right! When a couple quarrels or fights, you always stand in the front row and aren't afraid of getting hit. Especially with Mrs. Wei, you don't even know if you can get hit by her." An Jinge rolled her eyes at her.
"Hehe, I'll just flash away like this!" Feng Aoqing flashed behind Siyan.
"Don't worry, Commander An, I'm here! I'll take the blame for the master." Si Yan nodded quickly.
"I haven't talked about you yet! What does it have to do with you if people are fighting or quarreling? You even used your lightness skills to run back and take your master to see it!" An Jingge was the first to pack up and picked up the sword.
"My master loves to watch that!" Si Yan tidied herself up and helped Feng Aoqing straighten her skirt.
"You can't look over the eaves!"
"It's not exciting if it's far away!" Feng Aoqing added.
By the time they were cleaning up, the fight was probably almost over, but the three of them still went out of the room to check.
It was obvious that something was wrong. There was a fire, because everyone saw a cloud of black smoke rising in the sky in the distance.
Feng Aoqing hurried to the street and grabbed someone at random to ask what was going on.
The man answered her, "Miss, the forest to the east caught fire for no reason!"
"Si Yan, the medicine box!" Feng Aoqing shouted and ran out.
Feng Aoqing’s medicine box is in the ear room in the front yard, just in case of emergencies.
Siyan went back to get the medicine box and used her lightness skills to chase Feng Aoqing.
Wow, only after climbing up the wall did I realize that Tougu Town is really a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere!
From this perspective, Mrs. Wei is really nothing.
The ones running on the wall are so skilled in lightness, and the ones running on the ground are like rabbits, almost leaving afterimages!
Is that herbal farmer Uncle Chen, carrying his water bucket up the wall?
Is that Brother Li, the butcher? In each hand, he's carrying a massive bucket for collecting pig blood, each weighing dozens of kilograms, and he's walking incredibly fast!
......
Feng Aoqing and An Jinge also noticed something was wrong. The people around them were running forward. The two of them did not use any light skills, and were overtaken by everyone.
An Jinge and Feng Aoqing looked at each other, and they began to use their lightness skills to catch up with these people.
The two ran in the direction of the smoke, and when they got closer, they realized it was an agarwood forest! This was the best agarwood forest in all of Kyushu!
Oh my god! You're going to burn the most expensive one!
No wonder everyone left afterimages!
The fire is quite big.
This isn't the dry season! I'm afraid it was caused by someone, either careless or arson.
"Water is useless, use branches to beat them! Stand in a row, beat them in groups of several people, don't go alone!" Feng Aoqing commanded.
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, and the people from Hantian Valley followed her.
Everyone in Hantian Valley knew her abilities. When they reached the retreat, Feng Aoqing took out a carriage filled with fire extinguishers. Each of them took a few fire extinguishers, carried them on their shoulders, and rushed to where the fire was the biggest.
During one of the few snowless seasons in Hantian Valley, they had encountered a forest fire. The forest in Hantian Valley was denser, and it would be terrible if it burned. So Feng Aoqing commanded them to put out the fire once, and they would use it every time.
"Brother, what the hell is this!" Wang Laoer, who was holding a branch, exclaimed.
"This is something our master made specifically for extinguishing fires! We used to live in a place surrounded by forests, and we were most afraid of forest fires!" Yu Tiannan replied.
"Oh my god! That's awesome!"
"Don't follow me! Go shoot where the fire is smaller! You'll get sick if you breathe this stuff in!"
"Okay!"
The others dispersed into groups of several, holding fresh branches in their hands and making smaller fires.
In addition, Feng Aoqing also asked Chonglou to take a group of people to the downwind side, start cutting down small trees, turning over the soil, and clearing a path to prevent the fire from spreading.
If these things hadn't happened, Feng Aoqing wouldn't have known that there were quite a lot of people in Tougu Town.
Everyone was like a well-trained army, very obedient and efficient, so the fire was put out soon.
Part of the forest was burned, causing great losses. Fortunately, no one was injured and the fire did not spread, which is a blessing in disguise.
The people in Hantian Valley were sensible and knew that these iron cans could not be carefully studied by the people in Tougu Town, so they collected all the used cans and put them back on the car that Feng Aoqing pulled over.
Feng Aoqing was afraid that there was still some fire left, so he arranged for people to patrol the entire forest to make sure there was no trace of sparks, and only then did he feel relieved.
The person in charge of guarding the forest was called by Chonglou to the Ghost Fan Tower.
This forest is the most valuable part of the entire Tougu Town, so special people are arranged to guard it.
Nothing had happened in all these years, and this was the first time, so Chonglou was very angry.
"The reason why we let you two take turns on duty is so that one person has to be there all the time. Why don't you follow the rules?" Chonglou asked.
The caretaker, Qiu Laowu, replied, "Lao Liu came over after dinner, and I went back to eat and rest. When the fire started, I rushed to put it out, but Lao Liu fell asleep under the tree."
Fang Laoliu slapped himself hard and cried bitterly, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I was so tired in the summer that I fell asleep."
Then Qiu Laowu was furious and sternly accused him, "If you're sleepy, you should have told me. I could have kept my job even if I had it! How could you do such a thing? You must have gambled all night in the underground gambling house yesterday, so you're sleepy!"
Chonglou was already very angry when he heard that Fang Laoliu had fallen asleep. Now he heard that he had not been watching the forest because he had been gambling all night, so he became even angrier and pulled out the dagger from his boots to kill him.
"People like you can't stay here! When you came to town, I told you that no matter what bad habits you have, you must get rid of them all. I won't care about you once you leave town, but as long as you are here, I will be in charge!"
