As I passed by the villagers distributing tree branches, I grabbed a large branch and ran forward.
She didn't know where her sister was, and she couldn't think about anything else; she just wanted to go up and see if her sister was safe and sound.
Besides her younger sister, she has no other relatives in modern times.
Having come to this era, even though I have a house full of children and grandchildren, none of them are as dear as my younger sister!
Although she was only seven years older than her younger sister in modern times, she practically raised her sister herself.
The original owner of this body also raised her sister-in-law single-handedly.
This kind of affection is unmatched by anyone!
Chi Yu was unaware that her older sister had returned and was looking for her.
Holding a large tree branch, she desperately rushed towards the wildfire.
At the same time, it kept releasing water from the space to help.
Wherever she, or rather, wherever they went, the fires were quickly extinguished.
The shrewd young men of Chijia'ao, fearing that the refugees would notice something amiss, ordered those less quick-witted among them to go down the mountain to fetch water while surrounding her.
Therefore, this wildfire, which was discovered relatively quickly, was eventually extinguished completely two hours later, even with the help of the wind.
After the last spark was extinguished, Chi Yu threw away the charred tree branch that he had replaced countless times, sat down heavily on the ground, and gasped for breath.
Not only her, but also the people from Chijia'ao and the refugees who came to participate were like that.
Chi Qiao, who had already found her, held her tightly in her arms with tears in her eyes.
Chi Yu, who was already experiencing a stress reaction due to the wildfire, buried her head in her sister's arms and whimpered when her sister hugged her.
The unsuspecting people of Chijia'ao felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this sound.
He even gave the refugees sitting next to him a cold look.
You could even say it's disgust!
After holding out for half an hour, the elderly Chi Dongyi was escorted down the mountain by the younger members of his clan.
At this moment, among the young people present on the mountain, Chi Ye was the leader. After hearing their aunt's cries, he publicly attacked the refugees.
He exchanged a glance with Chi Deng and the others beside him, then grabbed a young man sitting not far away, choked him, and asked sharply:
“Tell me, where are you from, and what are you doing here in my Chijia'ao Beishan?”
And who started this fire? Hand them over to me!
The number of refugees from Wuning Prefecture was greater than that from Chijia'ao, totaling more than 800.
They included men, women, and children, but the majority were able-bodied men aged fifteen to thirty.
Of course, having come this far, from more than 5,000 to more than 800, there must have been a leader.
Having witnessed countless life-and-death situations along the way, they eventually became cold-blooded and callous in order to survive, no matter how kind they were.
The fact that they were able to work with the people of Chijia'ao to put out the wildfire was a rare moment of conscience on their part.
When the leader saw that the people under his command were being grabbed by the collar by the locals, he stepped forward.
"I don't know the names of these brothers, let's talk this out!"
Upon seeing the person who stood up, who appeared to be in his early thirties, Ikeno feigned ignorance and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Song Chongjin from Mingyang County, Wuning Prefecture. I passed the imperial examination in the eighteenth year of Kangqing (1709) and became a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination)."
After saying that, he carefully took out his scholar's certificate, a symbol of his status, from his pocket and handed it over.
"This is my personal document, which serves as proof!"
Chi Ye already knew some characters, and since Shen Zhaochen became the teacher here, he has learned some more.
Therefore, he could still make out the scholar's documents, even though he only half-recognized and half-guessed them.
