Fishing in Troubled Waters
Chapter 174:Fishing in Troubled Waters
Although his heart was uncertain, Lu Wei still followed Xu Chengzong's trip to the count's house.There must have been him in front of the road, and the guard inside was afraid to stop it.
But the subsequent situation surprised him, since breaking into the gate, all the way forward there is no one, the front yard is not, although there are a few people into the double courtyard, but it is anxiously holding or carrying basin buckets and other things to the back.It turned out that, except for the guard in front of the door, the people of the Count's house were running to the backyard to fight the fire.
See this, Lu Wei's heart is even more determined, immediately striding the meteor straight forward, the mouth is constantly greeting people to fight the fire.To be honest, if he is bold enough to be black enough, it is easier to put a fire in the front yard of this count's house while there is no one around.But since there is Xu Chengzong around, there is no need to do such things again.
After the third entry, the number of people gradually increased.But the household slaves of these count's house, waiting for each of them, were too busy to distinguish who was coming, and when they saw that they had set up a water dragon, they hurried to give up their way, and pointed to the smoke still rolling in front, and even saw a few fire heads in the backyard and exclaim: "Quick past, how can the fire over there not be extinguished."
"All right!Go ahead and put out the fire!”Lu Wei waved his big hand, greeted the people and killed them inside, and on the one hand, he shouted, "Let them all go, let us bring the dragons to fight the fire."
It was so useful that the people under the count's house, which had been encountered along the way, quickly flashed the road, and let a group of them enter, and no one even asked.After all, in the eyes of these people, fire fighting is the top priority in the house at this time, and seeing that they are all wearing public clothes and coming in directly from the front door, naturally there will be no problem.
In this way, Lu Wei's line drove straight in and rushed to the backyard of the Count's house on fire.There should be a house and a warehouse, at this moment the small exquisite house has been burned for the most part, and the warehouse is constantly braving the fire, although the people below are still pouring water, but obviously can not extinguish it.Especially the flame that has spread on the top, because it is far from the ground, the water of the people can not be poured, but can only watch the flame spread in four.
At this point, an old man dressed in silk and full of black and gray faces was jumping and shouting loudly: "Come quickly, who dares to go into the warehouse to move the box inside, the uncle must be rewarded when he comes back!"Who can help to burn the fire, the old man and uncle to open up, to ensure you a future!"
However, the entice-betic effect of such fame and wealth is limited, although those people still try to fight the water next to the front well to save, but no one dared to rush in to save the property as he said, and no one wants to climb up the top of the warehouse to fight the fire.
For just now, after the three inspired domestic slaves rushed in, they did not come out again, and the fire looked bigger than just now.Also, before, a person also tried to climb on the top of the warehouse to fight the fire, but he was empty, fell into the warehouse where the fire had long been set, and there was no sound... The reward was tempting, but it also had to have a life to enjoy it?
The old housekeeper saw this, and was even more eager to turn around, but he could not help, and could only keep urging the people below to risk the fire and raise the price again and again.But the people below can only hear, and still splash water according to the appearance just now, to cope with the errand.
At this time, one person shouted: "All let, the water dragon is coming!"
At this, the old housekeeper wrinkled into a chrysanthemum on the old face suddenly appeared a glimmer of joy: "Quick, bring the water dragon in to fight the fire!"
In fact, without his command, behind them, everyone had already given up the road, put the water dragon in, the thick bamboo body was quickly pointed at the front of the warehouse top, accompanied by several officers shouting loudly, a large plume of water like a white practice flew out, and was hitting the flame at the top of the warehouse.
Suddenly, a white gas was steaming, and the flame momentum that was constantly rising was stopped.
At this, the spirit of the people was a shock, and the old housekeeper was waving his hands loudly and commanding: "Quick, spray again!"The fire is under fire!”
The battle behind the water dragon pushed hard again, and another stirring water column flew out, pressing the fire.At this time, the people of the Count's house also returned to God, knowing that this water dragon alone could not really extinguish the fire, so they rushed up with pots and barrels containing water and constantly sprinkled on the top...
However, this fire is not small, and now it is the wind and monsoon, under the wind to help the fire, but it is not something that can be extinguished by such waterpower, and it is controlled at most.And as the water stored in the dragon gradually ran out, the situation seemed to be getting worse again.
Just in the panic of the hearts of the people, there was a noise behind it, but five water dragons came in again!It turned out that it was the people of the West City soldiers and horses who finally arrived at this time, and they had bigger hands, and there were five water dragons.
This time, the six water dragons spewed the water column at the warehouse of the fire, and the fire was quickly contained, and then gradually extinguished.Until then, the count's house was greatly relieved, and the old housekeeper was even more grateful to those soldiers who were controlling the water dragons to thank: "Thank you for your help...!Until now, when he was shocked, he found that the fire extinguishers in front of him were not all the costumes of soldiers and horses, and all the way to the horses was actually the dress of officials.
After he stopped, he grinned, “Are these bad guys?”
"We are the people of Daxing County."A chief of the officers was busy returning to the truth.
The old butler's heart is even more mentioned: "It is all of you who are in Daxing County, but you have been born."Mouth said, but the eyes were opened to the back, see a guard who should have been guarded in front of the door of the house, he tugged at each other fiercely, before he was not killed to look after the door, he actually let these guys come in, if something happened, he could not afford it.
The one who was in a hurry, struggling to squeeze forward, could not care about the current scene, and said urgently: "Fub, just now the Daxing County ordered people to go straight to the back garden..."
“What?”The old housekeeper Fu Bo's foot hit a stud, almost fell, can not care about what the scene, immediately turned to the back garden of his own, look at his appearance, even more afraid than before watching the warehouse fire.
A dryman around the crowd was stunned on the spot, especially the generals led by the soldiers and horses of the West City, and they were even more confused: "What is this?Our brother worked hard to help him save the fire, even thanking half a word?“What back garden?”
@@@@@@
As he made his way to the Count's house, Lu Wei was still looking around, and soon found his real goal this time - the back garden.
So he ordered his officers to continue carrying the water dragons in, and he and Lin Li took the other two straight to the back garden.Xu Chengzong, who was already curious about his intentions, did not go to the backyard to make any fun, but followed it to the Chinese garden.
Seeing Lu Wei so clear goals, Xu Chengzong was more interested, although he did not open his mouth to ask anything, a pair of eyes were swept around in the garden that had been slightly defeated, to see what strange things in this place, so that Lu Wei willing to take this risk.
However, Lu Wei's subsequent actions made him somewhat disappointed, and after entering the back garden, they were all staggered there, especially Lu Wei, and after standing, his eyes were swept around like him, looking for something.
However, this garden is really not able to see too many things to come, although the area is not small, there are also a few flower pavilions built, some of the flowers and plants that were previously competing for glory are due to the early defeat of the autumn, only a few autumn chrysanthemums are angry in the wind, in addition, there is nothing strange.
What is he looking for?What can this Guangningber hide here, rather than put it in a more secure treasure?Although Xu Chengzong had some smiles on his face, his eyes were full of doubts and made some guesses.
Finally, Lu Wei's eyes fell on a clump of flowers and trees next to the pavilion, and the flowers and trees in this place looked much better than elsewhere.Looking back at the other side of the small fire, Lu Wei no longer hesitated, and gave an order with his finger: "Dig it here!"
This garden is naturally equipped with a variety of spade pickles, at this time the gardeners here also ran to fight the fire, but the tools are left in the same place, but it is convenient for Lin Li and others, immediately picked up the spade and dug up toward the bush.
The nature that can be planted in Guangningbo House is not a hospitable, but Lin Li few people did not hesitate at all, and between the hands, the lush flowers and trees were dug up, and then moved to the side, and then dug a few times, and the soil buried in the roots also plowed open, and a small pit appeared.
A few people dug down this pit, shoveled like a fly, and dug a few feet down, but nothing else appeared except for the soil, which made the action of the two officers' hands slow, that is, Lin Li, and slightly frowned.
Only Lu Wei, but still calm, said: "Continue to dig, since there is a problem here, they will hide things deeper."
After promising, the speed of digging a few spade was fast again.When they see this, they are becoming more and more curious, what are they digging for?Is there anything unseeming in this Count's house?
Just when a few people dug full of sweat, the fire on the other side was completely extinguished, and then a sound of footsteps sounded outside the garden, but the old housekeeper finally came...
