Chapter 148 Fire

It was only the first time that Wang Yi saw the exercise, so he thought that the exercises were done early in the morning. In fact, Wei Zhao made people arrange irregular exercises, because you never know which one is tomorrow or an accident first. There will be accidents at any time. If you can react at any time, you will have better results. Moreover, in his plan, there is only one morning and dusk, and it happened to be caught up.

After another day of travel, the convoy had already seen the city wall of Luoxiang Prefecture City. Wang Yi stood in the carriage and could see the city gate forward. He lifted the curtain and went in and said, "Master, we have finally arrived!"

He Zhongkai lifted the curtain and took a look, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I walked on the road for half a month. Although I had all the food and bedding in the carriage, I was really tired when I was walking day and night and staying around for so long!

Several people went into the city and found an inn to stay. They had just had supper and were about to rest. When they heard the sound of gongs and drums in the yard, followed by noises and chaos.

"It's coming again, this time it's evening. Master, look, we've met three times along the way. Huaishu Town once in the morning and at noon, I saw it again in Qingshui Town as soon as I arrived in the city. It's not over yet. I think there's something wrong with the prefect. Let's just give me a note to talk about this matter with the emperor!" Wang Yi heard the sound of gongs and drums, and he covered the box in his hand with a "bang". He was especially unhappy and kicked him again!

But He Zhongkai felt something was wrong. He heard someone outside the window shouting, "It's time to leave!"

He quickly walked to the window, opened it, and saw that it was red outside.

"It's on fire, it's on fire, Master, it's on fire!" Wang Yiyi shouted in shock when he saw the fire outside soaring into the sky.

"I saw it, go, go down and take a look!" He Zhongkai closed the window and walked downstairs quickly. Wang Yi and the guards who rushed over after hearing the news hurriedly followed.

The fire was an embroidery building next to the inn, called Jinxiuzhuang.

"Get out of the way, the Fire Dragon Team is here!" Jinxiuzhuang was surrounded by the crowd watching the fun. Suddenly, a strange sound of suona was heard, and the crowd immediately dispersed. Several yamen runners rushed into the crowd with a cart and arrived at the gate of Jinxiuzhuang.

At this time, the fire in Jinxiuzhuang was in full swing. All the cloths placed on the shelves on the first floor had been lit. The flames rushed straight out of the door, and people couldn't get in at all.

But you can hear someone calling for help upstairs.

Most of the embroidery girls in Jinxiu Village are orphans raised since childhood. They usually live in embroidery buildings. Now the embroidery building suddenly catches fire and they are trapped upstairs.

It has been sunny recently, and the weather is dry and the fire is on fire. The fire is fast and the people downstairs cannot enter. The Fire Dragon Team and the people around have begun to draw water nearby to extinguish the fire, but the results have been minimal.

The girls upstairs were in a panic, hugging each other and crying bitterly. Suddenly, a girl shouted loudly: "Stop crying! The fire is coming soon. People outside cannot come in, so we can only save ourselves!"

A group of headless flies-like embroidered women heard her voice, tried hard to calm down their minds and listen to her.

"We just conducted a fire drill two days ago. Now listen to me, hurry up and find water, get wet your clothes and veils, and then take out the sheets in each room as soon as possible, hurry up!"

A group of embroiderers also remembered what happened during the exercise a few days ago. They hurriedly wiped their tears and went to find things. Soon they brought a lot of fabric.

"Hurry up, connect the fabric, tie a few more knots, soak it in, wrap your hair with a veil, and let's go down through the window!"

When they are in a panic, once a leader appears, the rest will blindly obey the person's words, and soon two long ropes made of coarse cloth appear on the ground.

The embroidered women brought water from their respective houses, soaked long ropes and clothes, and helped each other to wrap their mouths and noses.

Everyone outside the building was still extinguishing the fire, but for a cup of tea, he no longer heard the cry for help from the building. He Zhongkai's heart was cold, could it be...

The next moment he heard a scream of exclamation. He looked up and saw two long ropes thrown down from above the door.

This building is a straight-tube building, only the door is concave. Although the flames here are also rushing out, they are farther away than other places.

Before he could figure out the function of the rope, an embroiderer who wrapped her hair with a veil appeared in the window upstairs.

She moved quickly without hesitation, and grabbed the rope and slid down. The knot on the rope buffered her falling speed. When she fell down, the Fire Dragon Team below had already caught her.

Then the second, the third...

The two ropes slid down at the same time, and soon, all the eight embroidery girls trapped on the embroidery building came down.

The crowd burst into cheers, and He Zhongkai stared blankly at the embroidered women who came down and were taken away to the clinic. He even forgot that he was a doctor and forgot to come forward to help check if anyone was injured.

The Fire Dragon Team was still extinguishing the fire, and he kept hearing people talking in his ears.

"This is the effect of the exercise..."

"They escaped by the fire exercise..."

"...They covered their mouth, nose, hair, and the flames below did not burn them..."

It turns out that the exercise is really useful!

A smile appeared on He Zhongkai's face, and exercises were exercises. Unexpectedly, the fun-like exercises could really save people at critical moments!

His mood was extremely turbulent, and he could not help but be excited. With such a big fire, the woman trapped in the trap could actually think of a way to escape and did it!

If, if... she knew this method at the beginning, wouldn't she have been burned to death?

"Master, I heard that these embroiderers used the method of exercises and escaped. I didn't expect this exercise to be really useful. I misunderstood Master Liang. Hey, hey? Master, what's wrong with you?"

He Zhongkai seemed to be unable to hear his words, and he just stared blankly at the raging fire in the embroidery building, bursting into tears.

Wang Yi saw He Zhongkai like this for the first time, stayed there, half open his mouth, and stood silently behind him after a while.

The fire was finally not extinguished. The owner of the Xiulou arrived in the middle of the night. Seeing that everyone in the building had come out, the Xiulou was separated from other shops and the fire did not spread to both sides. So he told the Fire Dragon Team not to put out the fire and let it burn!

The fire burned all night, but by the morning it was already covered with ashes. He Zhongkai stood not far away for a night.

The embroidered women were sent to Jimin Medical Center. They suffered burns and scratches to varying degrees, but because their clothes were soaked, the injured part was mostly on their hands. In addition, because smoke and dust were inhaled in their lungs and were frightened and cold, they were basically all ill.

In addition, the Fire Dragon Team and several people who put out the fire were also burned to varying degrees.
