Chapter 322: Home Swallowed
Zhou Zixu couldn't concentrate during training tonight. He always felt that something was going to happen.
He drove home and took a look, and seeing that Grandpa and Dongsheng were both fine, he turned around and left.
Grandpa Zhou hadn't been able to catch sight of his grandson recently, so when he saw Zixu coming back, he naturally wanted to keep him and have him play chess with him.
"Come on, Zixu, let's play a game."
"Grandpa, I'll accompany you another day. I have something urgent to do."
Zhou Zixu straightened his military cap and saluted his grandfather, looking serious for a rare time.
"Is it about the army?"
The old man noticed that his grandson's brows were always furrowed, and thought that something unpleasant had happened to him in the army.
"No, I'm upset. I want to go see her."
Throwing down a bunch of incoherent words, Zhou Zixu turned around and strode away.
"Great grandfather, my uncle won't play with me."
Dongsheng just ran towards Zhou Zixu, wanting to act coquettishly with him, but his uncle didn't even notice him.
This made Zhou Dongsheng feel very aggrieved, and he ran to his grandfather to complain.
"Tsk, what happened?"
Although Zhou Zixu didn't make it clear who he was going to see, the old man guessed that only that cold girl could make Zixu lose his composure like this.
Zhou Zixu sped along, feeling more and more uneasy. He had been enduring the longing for Lu Sihui these past few days. The competition was coming up, and he wanted to show her good results to prove himself.
But today, he must go see her. Only when he is sure that she is okay can he return to the army with peace of mind.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw flames rising from the direction of Lu Sihui's house. I was suddenly shocked. Could it be...
Without thinking too much, he drove into the village and headed straight for Sihui's house.
The little bit of luck she had left disappeared, and it turned out that her house was on fire.
As soon as the car stabilized, he pushed the door and ran away, not caring about the thick smoke and flames, and wanted to rush in to save Sihui.
The heat from the flames made it impossible for people to open their eyes. As soon as he rushed to the door, the flames burned his hands, but he didn't care at all.
Since Sihui was not in the yard, she must still be in the house.
It was time to sleep, and his heart seemed to be smoking, so anxious that he forgot about his own safety.
"I'm here, don't go in."
Lu Sihui came over and grabbed him.
"Sihui, you came out, that's great."
Zhou Zixu hugged Lu Sihui tightly in his arms. Just now he felt that he would lose her. Only by holding her tightly could he feel that she was safe.
"Leave quickly, the house is about to collapse."
Lu Sihui was stunned for a moment. His chest felt so warm. After just a moment of daze, she pulled Zhou Zixu and ran towards the courtyard gate.
Passing by her younger brother who was staring at her house stupidly, she pulled him along and ran along.
The wind was a bit strong tonight, and the fire spread quickly with the wind. There were neighbors nearby, so Aunt Liu's family was the first to suffer.
"Sihui, take Jianguo to the side. I need to put out the fire."
Zhou Zixu is a soldier, and it is impossible for him to sit idly by and watch the people's property being devoured by the masses.
After making sure Sihui was safe, he put out the fire together with the villagers who rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
Aunt Liu and her family also ran out of the house and managed to grab some things, but most of the items could not be moved out. They watched the flames devour their once warm home.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, everyone, otherwise the fire will burn the whole camp."
Zhou Zixu began to command the chaotic villagers. They were all panicked and needed a leader.
Lu Sihui asked her brother to stay away and went to put out the fire herself.
There was no fire truck at that time, and water had to be drawn from the well. The speed of firefighting was unable to control the spread of the fire. After engulfing the Liu family, the flames swept towards the next family.
