Steward Qin personally arranged for personnel to ensure the safety of the young master, the Song family, and the monks.
All the equipment outside the council chamber was put away, and everyone returned inside.
The wounded sensed something was wrong and heard the sounds their tribesmen had made, but they didn't know what had happened.
The monks patiently comforted and carefully cared for them.
Location of the fire.
The fire was started in a corner of the mountain village, where the trees were most lush.
The houses are close together, right under a big tree.
The fire is spreading, not only burning large areas of forest, but also potentially reaching the foot of the mountain...
If the houses under the tree catch fire, it will inevitably spread to other places.
The roofs of the houses were built by the Li people themselves, after a long day's work, by dismantling the original wooden plank walls and constructing the roofs...
But to those behind the scenes, it's probably not worth mentioning.
In their scheming, these things were insignificant, so they didn't even consider the fact that the fire was spreading...
The tribe's houses and belongings were burned down, the animals in the mountains were burned to death, and the tribe may not even be able to find food...
They were willing to do anything.
The Li people, unaware of the cause, worked tirelessly to extinguish the fire under Song Chengjian's organization.
Because the water source was far away, everyone used their hands and wooden shovels to dig up soil and throw it at the fire...
After half an hour of hard work, the forest fire was extinguished by digging trenches and cutting down tree trunks...
Four houses in the village were destroyed, and the roofs of two other houses around the village were burned down. Fortunately, the items inside the houses were not seriously damaged.
The clan chief had arrived long ago and was personally fighting alongside everyone.
Just as the fire was about to be extinguished, the deputy clan chief, Lin Hong, arrived late, supported by his son, Lin Sen, feigning concern and discomfort.
The Li people's faces were blackened by smoke, and they collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
But my mind is clearer than ever.
Li Jing left several people behind, scattered in various corners of the village, to prevent any hidden fire hazards.
Jiang Xinyu provided several personnel to help patrol the mountain and prevent any potential dangers.
Song Chengliang appeared from the shadows, and Li Jing saw him and immediately reported to his father, Li Guang.
The Li ethnic chieftain displayed a level of force that the Song family had never seen before in the past two days.
He ordered his men to strike a gong to summon everyone together.
Except for those who were left behind to prevent fires, everyone else followed the clan chief to the center of the village.
Several burly men had their hands tied behind their backs and were twisted aside.
The people holding them captive were Song Chengliang and Jiang's men.
Li Guang personally tore off the face masks they were using to cover themselves.
The Li people were in an uproar, whispering amongst themselves, their voices growing louder.
"You all know these people, right?"
Li Guang's gaze passed over the clansmen and settled on the deputy clan chief, Lin Hong.
Lin Hong didn't shy away at all; instead, he curled his lips into a playful smile.
The clansmen nodded in agreement, awaiting further instructions.
"These people are the culprits behind this arson!"
Everyone worked hard to restore the village, but these people are plotting to destroy it, without considering the consequences!
As soon as Li Guang finished speaking, he saw his clansmen in front of him filled with righteous indignation and uncontrollable rage.
"Pah! You beast!"
"How could they be so cruel? Are they trying to burn us alive, or someone else?!"
"The village is destroyed, the forests are destroyed, what benefit do you get?!"
"I never imagined that such a vicious person was hiding in our village!"
......
Amidst the cacophony of voices, Song Chengliang looked at Li Guang, and with the latter's permission, calmly spoke:
"Whether they wanted to burn everyone alive and destroy the village, I don't know..."
But I can roughly guess what these people are planning...
If the fire hadn't been rescued so promptly...
They would say that Mother Li has decreed that we are the ones who bring disaster and misfortune...
Incite everyone to punish us...
However, they probably didn't realize that even if they framed us, our homes would be destroyed as well.
How much do they hate us to abandon their own people...?
The words, spoken in a simple tone, resonated deeply within the hearts of the Li people.
Although Song Chengliang's words were not directed at anyone else...
But at this moment, the Li people present all thought of another person...
Witch doctor.
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.
"How dare you question Mother Li's decree?!"
The voice was stern, and everyone couldn't help but look back towards the source of the sound.
