With the help of the villagers, the fire was finally extinguished, and because it was discovered late, after the fire was completely extinguished, three houses had already been burned.

"Lao Zhao, Lao Zhu, what's going on? Where did this fire come from? The old man's hair was a little messy, his face was very gloomy in the night, and the shoes on his feet were worn backwards, and he didn't even notice it. At this time, I was so angry.

Zhou Yanliang was also uncomfortable, he was in charge of this workshop, and when such a big thing happened, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood.

Lao Zhu's face was sweaty, his body was also dirty, black, and even his clothes seemed to have been burned with a hole, and he raised a face that looked like a cat and replied, "Old man, this fire burned in the middle of the night." Lao Zhao and I both slept, I woke up and felt a bright light, so I came out to take a look, and I found that it was burning. Old man, this fire is not normal, there is no fire at all in this workshop, and we don't use fire, so it is impossible to burn it for no reason. ”

He knew in his heart that most of this fire was set by people, and this person was a little too poisonous to set it on fire.

"Oh, listen to this man, someone set the fire." The village fires that did not disperse began to be discussed.

"It's not nonsense, it's the middle of the night, it's not someone who set the fire, is it that the fire appeared for no reason."

"Who do you say set the fire, who has such a big enmity with the Zhou family?"

"Who knows, but the person who set the fire is really vicious, this person has to find out, what are the usual contradictions, quarrels or fights are not a big deal. But this arson, that's a big deal. Such people are too insidious. If you don't find out, I'm afraid that something big will happen to you if you accidentally provoke this person in the future. If this person can set fire, it means that he must dare to kill. Isn't it often said that murder and arson? ”

Zhou Yanliang gritted his teeth with hatred, he didn't know how much this thing had been destroyed, if this person found it, he would have to skin the other party.

The old man was also very angry in his heart, but this time almost all the people in the village came to help, he was still grateful, and thanked the villagers who did not leave, "Villagers, my Zhou family is in trouble today, thank you for your help." Thank you, old man. This is obviously arson, so tomorrow the old man will go to report to the official. When this matter is finished, the villagers will be invited to eat and thank them. This time will be pushed back, I hope you will understand. ”

"Oh, old man, you're too polite, push it, this workshop is burned out, but hurry up and fix it, otherwise it will delay the affairs of this workshop."

"Yes, eat, eat early, eat late, don't rush. Don't take it to heart, old man. ”

"The old man did the right thing, he had to report to the official, and he had to find out the bad guys, such people are too bad. found out, such a person, we Shanshui Village resolutely do not stay, we must drive out of the village. ”

The old man felt a lot more comfortable when he heard this, and everyone dispersed, after all, it was night, and it was impossible for the dark paint to stay here, and the old man also went back. Lao Zhao and Lao Zhu sighed, and also went back to the place where they lived, fetched water and washed their faces, and then rested. Before, they were busy shouting and putting out fires, and the two of them were also working hard, so now when they sat down, they found that they were so tired, so they cleaned up casually, and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yanliang and the old man went to the town in a carriage, and they went to report to the official.
