The villagers were initially in despair, but after witnessing the miraculous power of the fire extinguisher, they were overjoyed and became very enthusiastic about learning how to use it to put out fires.
"Wow, this fire extinguisher is really useful!"
"I've never seen this before. If we had this on hand, we wouldn't have to worry about fires."
"This is great stuff! Hey, where's the rocket? Why isn't it coming over yet!"
"..."
Later on, the villagers even started to complain that the rockets were launched too slowly.
With the help of fire extinguishers, the fire was quickly brought under control; it was extinguished almost immediately after the rocket landed.
"My lord, this...this is very wrong!"
Outside, a constable, sweating profusely, ran up to the magistrate and reported, "That village is very strange; it just won't burn down no matter what we do. No matter how many rockets we shoot in, they all disappear without a trace!"
The county magistrate was sitting facing a middle-aged woman in the pavilion, drinking tea.
If Qin were here, she would definitely recognize that this middle-aged woman was the person who met with her.
A look of surprise flashed across the magistrate's eyes, and he frowned solemnly, asking, "Is this true?"
“Absolutely true,” the official quickly replied.
The magistrate's eyes flickered slightly. He put down his teacup and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him, saying, "Lady Feng, it seems these villagers are not destined to die!"
"Ha, what utter nonsense! A village that can't be burned down? Someone must be outwardly compliant but inwardly defying us!"
After speaking meaningfully, Lady Feng stood up and sneered, "I want to go and see for myself how this village can't be burned down!"
Upon hearing this, the magistrate looked at the constable, and seeing that the man nodded, he concealed his displeasure, stood up, and said, "Then let's go. I also want to see why it won't burn."
Soon, the two arrived at the edge of the village's isolation zone, which was surrounded by a fence.
Then, you can see that the archers who have just been replaced are all panting heavily, covered in sweat in the cold weather, clearly having just gone through strenuous exercise.
As for those who were shooting arrows, their arms were trembling slightly, indicating that they were also exhausted.
Then look up towards the village.
The rocket had clearly hit the thatched roof, but before it could catch fire, someone came up and waved something red.
Then the fire went out!
"Sir, as you can see, we really have no other choice." The officer looked distressed, having never seen such a strange situation before.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Lady Feng's face turned black with anger. She snatched a bow and arrow from the person next to her and shot it at the person on the roof. "Setting fire is just to kill people quickly. If you can't burn them to death, why not just shoot them? What an idiot!"
"call out…"
The arrow flew out at high speed and struck the man directly in the back.
The other person swayed twice and then collapsed.
"Ha! He's dead now..."
Lady Feng smiled smugly, but her smile quickly froze, and she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Because the person who should have been shot dead actually stood up again!
"Second Uncle!"
The person who was shot was Yun Hongcheng. Upon seeing this, Yun Zhourong immediately cried out in worry.
"It's alright, it's alright, that arrow didn't have much power."
Yun Zhongcheng quickly climbed up from the roof and then patted Yun Zhourong on the chest.
Yun Zhourong immediately realized what was happening, and Yun Hongcheng, who was also wearing a bulletproof vest, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Second Uncle, you should still stay away and take the wooden plank with you."
Bulletproof vests can protect the body, but they cannot protect the head and arms.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Yun Hongcheng readily complied and erected the wooden board, then said, "However, from what I just saw, that person's attire resembled that of a county magistrate."
"Magistrate, my brother-in-law has arrived?" Upon hearing this, the postmaster immediately shouted excitedly.
"You've finally arrived, let's go!"
Yun Zhourong and Ji Minxiu exchanged a glance, then propped up the door panel, grabbed the postmaster and stuffed him in the middle, and quickly moved towards the county magistrate, saying to Yun Hongcheng, "Second Uncle, find a way to attract their attention."
"Huh?" Yun Hong was dumbfounded.
attract?
How do I attract them?
However, seeing Yun Zhourong and the other two approaching the isolation line, Yun Hongcheng knew that this was their only chance.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the arrow from the ground and threw it forcefully towards the magistrate.
"puff…"
Before Lady Feng could recover from the shock of why the person was still alive, the arrow had already pierced her hair.
"Cough cough..."
Upon seeing this, many officials couldn't help but chuckle quietly, and even the county magistrate's lips twitched as he tried to hold it in.
This move, while not causing much physical harm, was extremely insulting.
After regaining her senses, Lady Feng's face turned bright red with anger, but her strict upbringing allowed her to suppress her anger and prevent her from exploding.
He took a deep breath, forcefully pulled the arrow out of his head, and shot it at Yun Hongcheng again, yelling, "You scoundrel! Die!"
Yun Hongcheng only saw that the arrow seemed to have really hit someone, and he scratched his head guiltily, not expecting it to be so accurate.
He thought it was just to attract attention; after all, it was quite impressive that he could throw it from that distance, it had no real killing power.
However, seeing the arrows coming again, he quickly hid behind the wooden plank.
The arrow missed its target and instead struck the roof.
Seeing this, Yun Hongcheng felt that the other party had successfully attracted his attention, so he pulled out the arrow again, hid behind the wooden board, and casually threw it back.
"puff…"
Unfortunately, the arrow struck Lady Feng's hair bun.
"Hahaha…"
At this point, the officials couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
