Chapter 3499: Chapter 3499: Go Immediately, Right Now!
"What?!"
The Evil Cultivation standing there reporting was taken aback when he heard this.
When he went before, there weren’t any problems. He had specifically checked around, and there weren’t any suspicious people either.
How did it suddenly just...?
He didn’t understand how the other party could act so quickly. He was following his master’s order to check the food supplies and it hadn’t been long, yet they were all set on fire?
Could it be that he had been followed when he went over?
He suddenly felt a chill all over, as if a venomous snake was staring tightly at him. Looking up, he saw his master staring at him with a grim gaze as if looking at a dead person.
"Mas-master..."
His face turned pale as he took a step back, wanting to plead, but he didn’t know how.
"Master, I... I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so careless. I beg you to give me a chance to atone for my mistakes. I will take people to extinguish the fire immediately."
He knelt down before Yang Tianxiu with a ’thud’, saying.
In fact, his legs had long gone weak with fear, and he couldn’t stand at all. He couldn’t imagine how he would end up if those food supplies weren’t saved.
"If you want to atone for your mistakes, then hurry up and go!"
At this moment, Yang Tianxiu had no thought of blaming his subordinate, only thinking about quickly sending people to put out the fire.
"Get Ge Leader and Chief Zuo, go immediately, right now!" he roared angrily at the kneeling Evil Cultivation.
"Yes, yes."
The Evil Cultivation kept responding ’yes’, gritting his teeth to make his weak legs stand, running awkwardly to the door.
He was afraid that if he ran a moment slower, his furious master would kill him.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Yang Tianxiu’s eyes were bloodshot, looking like a devil emerging from hell.
He couldn’t understand who had such powerful means to follow his people.
Even those hiding in the dark, he believed they didn’t have so many people who could keep an eye on the City Lord Residence, let alone set fire to his granary in broad daylight!
This was simply a challenge to his bottom line!
...
Not long after, several places in the city that were set on fire were surrounded by people.
Each holding a water bucket, pouring bucket after bucket of water into the fire, one person after another, when the wooden barrel was empty, they went to fetch more water.
But, this was ultimately a drop in the bucket.
There were not many water sources in the city, relying on some well water, but that needed manpower to draw up.
They had manpower, but fetching water took time.
For a time, each wellhead in the city was crowded with Evil Cultivation, each waiting to fetch water.
Seeing the fire burning more vigorously, everyone actually knew in their hearts that the food supplies couldn’t be saved, it was simply too late.
"What are you all doing blocking here?"
A stern shout rang out from behind them; Chief Zuo walked over briskly.
"Divide some people to find pools; wouldn’t every big residence’s backyard have pools and wells, there isn’t just this one. Which home in the residence does not have a well, go find them all!"
Upon Chief Zuo’s reminder, everyone suddenly realized.
Yes, they used to draw water, half for drinking, so no one ever thought of the water in those large households’ backyard pools.
But now it is for fire extinguishing, the water in those pools could play a significant role.
