Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 366 On Fire
"Quick! Bring some more water!" One person pointed to the front and yelled violently.

Many people swooped on the fire with brooms and clothes, but the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and there was no way to stop it.

"The fire is getting too big, we can't do it without water, come a few more people, and bring the water over!"

There was a mess for a while, Su Yizhao already felt the scorching breath and the pungent smell in the dormitory.

She quickly covered her mouth and nose with a wet veil, then poked her head out to look, and found that the burning house was very close to her.

There are only two dormitories in the middle. At this moment, thick smoke is billowing in that dormitory, and black smoke has spread from the dormitory.

Several people were fighting the fire, but the water came slowly and the fire continued to grow.

The test sheds are all connected together, and there are only two large water tanks nearby, which are drinking water for everyone.

Two of the yamen servants took their clothes and beat them for a while, but the fire was so fierce that even their clothes were on fire.

Seeing this, Su Yizhao was a little anxious, really stupid!Water should be used in the first place.

If the fire comes here, it will be difficult for them to escape.

The entire Gongyuan was locked from the outside, and no one could leave.

"Oops, it's all on fire, and the fire is getting stronger and stronger." Someone shouted loudly.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you bring more water?"

The officials patrolling Chuo immediately pointed to the two stunned people beside them to fetch water. There are all bungalows here, and if there is a fire, they will all be connected together.

"It's on fire, put out the fire quickly! I saw there are still candidates inside."

Some candidates were also very anxious when they saw this, and couldn't help but urge them.

"Ah~" came a tragic cry.Then a Pyro ran out of the house.

Everyone was stunned. Su Yizhao only saw a burning man coming out of it. He couldn't see the face and clothes at all. He could only tell it was a person from the shape.

This examinee?It was burned!

Su Yizhao shouted in shock: "Quickly put out the fire for him, pour all the water on him!"

She really couldn't imagine that someone could be so on fire, how could they not feel it?There are those people who are simply incapable of adapting.

Someone just came over with two small buckets of water, and when they saw it, they poured it on the man.But it was too late at this time, the man fell to the ground, the screams had stopped, and it was unknown if he was still alive.

Another two buckets of water were brought and poured on the man. When the fire was extinguished, there was a "squeaky" sound, and everyone could see the man lying on the ground clearly.

However, at first glance, everyone was taken aback, which also caused extreme discomfort and heart palpitations.

This person has been scorched, black, and blood seeps from the charred flesh, dyeing his body red.

Some candidates couldn't help vomiting.The scorched people are like barbecued meat, beyond recognition.

"Quick! Don't worry about him, he won't survive, so bring more water."

The patrolling officials didn't care about this candidate at all, because the fire in the candidate's dormitory hadn't been extinguished yet, and the fire had spread to other dormitories at this moment.

One examinee was burned to death, and all the examinees were saddened to death. Everyone demanded that they be released first, and some examinees were already pushing and banging on the wooden door.

The scene was chaotic, and everyone shouted and cursed one after another.

Looking at Su Yizhao, who had already burned to the next door, he couldn't sit still. He lost the opportunity to rescue him before, but now the fire is getting stronger and stronger, and he might not be able to control it.

Under such circumstances, it is still important to save your life.Where there is life, there is hope.

"Let us out quickly. Let's help fight the fire together. We must control the fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the wind blows, the fire will be difficult to control." Su Yizhao shouted to a patrolling official.

The bungalows are built in the open space, and they all have only one floor. Although they are brick houses, they are very short.If the wind blows, there is no shelter at all, and the fire cannot be controlled at all.

Everyone was locked in the Gongyuan again, and there was nowhere to escape even if they wanted to escape.

Putting everything into the storage space, Su Yizhao was ready to leave.

However, the patrol official shouted at the crowd: "Everyone stay in the dormitory quietly, and don't take the opportunity to provoke trouble. The fire will be extinguished soon, just wait in the dormitory."

"It's about to burn, why don't you let us run away?" Some candidates were furious, this is a matter of life.

Seeing that the fire had spread to the houses on both sides, if he didn't run away, it would be too late.Just like the examinee just now, he was burned into coke in an instant.

"It's already putting out the fire, can't you see it? If you let you out, you will be punished as cheating. You should think about it, and don't regret it later."

This inspector was very dignified. He glanced at everyone, and wherever he looked, the candidates immediately fell silent.

"Ten years of studying hard in the cold window is just for this day. You will be an official soon, so don't let your efforts fall short."

Everyone understands that the next imperial examination is for ranking, unless the exam is extremely bad, the emperor will not refuse to give a ranking.No matter how bad it is, you can get a fellow Jinshi.

Therefore, it can be said that the test is the last hurdle.

Everyone fell silent when they heard this, even the candidates who made the most noise before were silent.

"I don't accept it!" A clear voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone immediately lay down at the window and looked in that direction.

"This matter is life-threatening. In front of human life, nothing else is worth mentioning. Besides, why should we be accused of cheating when we come out? We can definitely find someone to guard us to prevent cheating."

Du Jiang turned his head and saw the number plate number [-] on the house, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

"The imperial court stipulates that once you enter the dormitory, you must not leave the dormitory until the end of the exam. If you violate the rules, you will be punished as cheating."

Du Jiang's tone was cold, "If I let you out, who will take responsibility afterwards?"

As he spoke, his tone softened slightly, "You don't have to worry, the fire has been brought under control."

Su Yizhao sighed helplessly when he heard the words, "It's really pedantic, I don't know how to change it!"

I can't see the panorama of the fire scene, but the row opposite has become silent. Is it really under control?

But the pungent smoke in the house became thicker and thicker, and I felt discomfort in my throat.

Su Yizhao had to change another wet handkerchief, and then quickly observed the house.

It's better to rely on yourself than to ask for help. Who knows if there will be any accidents?Before the fire is extinguished, we still have to try our best to save ourselves.

The dormitory is a brick house, and it is impossible to pry open the wall to get out.Looking up at the top, apart from the beams, there are rows of tiles.

If it doesn't work, you can only walk from above.But if the fire spread quickly and burned the beam, it would be very difficult to climb out of it.

Also, how to climb up is also a problem.
