Chapter 211 The Yu Family House Burned Down
Upon hearing his words, everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
In the darkness ahead, pairs of green eyes shone brightly.
"What...what...what is this?!" The servant standing in front was horrified.
The leader of the servants was perhaps the bolder; he grabbed the person next to him and threw him forward, saying, "Go and check it out!"
"Yes, boss." The servant who had been left in front stood up timidly and slowly walked forward.
Not long after, they saw a gray wolf staring at them fiercely.
He was terrified and ran back immediately, shouting, "Ah! A wolf! A wolf!"
Hearing his exclamation, everyone ran back.
The head servant grabbed them all and said sternly, "There are no wolves in this small village. You must be mistaken!"
After saying that, he turned and walked forward, but when he looked up, he saw five or six wolves in front of him, and then he suddenly fell to the ground.
"They really are wolves, and a pack of wolves at that!"
The group of servants behind him were so frightened that they turned tail and ran away.
In the end, only the servant who had fallen to the ground remained.
One by one, the gray wolves approached him, baring their sharp teeth, as if they were about to rip him apart at any moment.
The servants quickly retreated a few steps, but were surrounded by the pack of wolves.
Upon seeing this pack of ferocious wolves, the servant closed his eyes and fainted from fright.
Meanwhile, inside the Yu family residence in Qingzhou Prefecture.
Master Yu was reading by lamplight, thinking that the Zhou family's land would be gone after tomorrow, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
I don't know how much time passed, but the window that was originally closed was blown open by the wind.
He quickly got up, went to the window, and closed the window.
However, he had only closed the window a short while before the wind blew it open again.
This happened several times in a row, and Mr. Yu got a little annoyed. He thought it might be because of the strong wind tonight, so he left the window open.
Before long, the wind picked up and turned several pages of the book on the table.
Mr. Yu hurriedly looked for something to weigh down the book, and while he was looking for something, he accidentally knocked over the candle on the table.
The candle fell over on the table and accidentally set the bed curtains on fire.
As a gust of wind blew in from outside the window, the small flame instantly grew larger.
Master Yu was shocked and quickly got up, walked to another table, picked up a pot of water, and poured it over the fire.
However, as the water in the kettle was poured down, the fire grew even bigger.
Master Yu then realized that the pot on the table tonight didn't contain water, but wine.
As the fire grew larger, Master Yu panicked and rushed outside, shouting, "It's terrible! There's a fire! Help! There's a fire!"
The servants and maids in the mansion rushed over upon hearing the noise.
"What happened, sir?"
Master Yu pointed to the room behind him, "My study is on fire! You all need to put it out quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the servants and maids immediately looked up.
Then another gust of wind blew in, and the fire inside the house shot out, setting the house next door ablaze, instantly illuminating the darkness.
The servants and maids rushed to the backyard, carrying buckets and water to put out the fire.
However, as bucket after bucket of water was poured in, the fire burned brighter and brighter, as if it were oil being poured in, not water.
Master Yu also carried a bucket and poured it up, which was the same thing.
The servants were stunned. "Master, this fire can't be put out!"
Seeing the fire growing larger and larger in front of him, Master Yu was stunned. He gritted his teeth and shouted at them, "Quickly, get more people to put out the fire!"
"Yes, sir." The crowd quickly summoned everyone in the mansion.
Everyone worked together to carry buckets of water to put out the fire.
No matter how much water was poured in, the fire could not be extinguished; with a gust of wind, the fire would only grow bigger and bigger.
Master Yu was extremely anxious, as the fire was spreading to the storeroom.
He strode over, shouting, "My storeroom! My rice!"
The butler quickly stopped him, saying, "Master, the fire is too big. You must not go any further."
