Chapter 229 230: Destroy the clues

After returning home, everyone was very depressed. They couldn't figure out why the other party came to snatch the box, and how they knew the box was hidden at home.

"Could it be that they have been monitoring us, so it is possible to know that we have taken back the box, and also know where the box is hidden?" Naive looked at everyone suspiciously.

"I can't rule out this possibility. I also feel that someone is watching us all the time. It seems that we have to be more cautious in our next actions." Zhang Yunfeng said.

For the sake of safety, everyone immediately asked Agui to find a lot of curtains and nail all the windows, so as to prevent people from peeping at them in the dark.

By the time this was done, it was already night.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, just when everyone was about to fall asleep, they suddenly heard a series of movements from outside. It seemed that something had happened to the sound, and a large group of people shouted there.

Everyone was awakened at once, and then quickly got up and went out to have a look, and found that many local people were carrying buckets and wooden basins, filled with water, rushing to a place, as if something was on fire ?

It happened that there was a well in front of Agui's house, and many people came here to fill water with containers, so it was very noisy.

"What's going on? What happened?" Tian Zhen stepped forward to pull A Gui and asked.

Agui frowned and said, "The wooden building where you took pictures during the day caught fire, and now the villagers are bringing water to put out the fire there."

"What! On fire? Who did it?" Tian Zhen asked.

Agui leaned into his ear and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, don't tell others that you have been to that building, otherwise they will suspect you..."

Naive is very puzzled: "Do you suspect what we are doing? Although we have been there, you have also seen that we are sleeping at home, how can we have time to set fire? We must pay attention to evidence in everything."

The fat man came up and said: "You think so, but others don't think so. Don't forget that we are foreigners. Once you know that we have been to that building, you will definitely suspect us. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us. You can’t get rid of it, so it’s best not to say it!”

The rest of the people also nodded.

Zhang Yunfeng said: "I'm afraid that there are some unknown secrets hidden in that building. The other party destroyed the secrets before we discovered them, so we will never be able to discover these secrets."

After his reminder, Tianzhen immediately remembered the old black and white photos in the room. If the wooden building was on fire, those photos would definitely be burned too, so he hurried over there too.

The little brother also realized this, and hurriedly followed, followed by Zhang Yunfeng, and then the fat man saw that they were all running there, so he had to follow in a daze.

Not long after, they came to the side of the wooden building. At this time, the wooden building was already on fire, and the smoke was billowing. A large number of villagers gathered around the side and splashed water to fight the fire, but the fire was too big. It cannot be extinguished, it can only be allowed to burn.

Unexpectedly, regardless of the fire, the little brother went straight through the courtyard wall, and then rushed into the room, seemingly looking for those photos.

The people around suddenly exclaimed and hurriedly advised him not to go in, but the little brother disappeared into the sea of ​​flames in a blink of an eye as if he hadn't heard it.

Even Naive Fatty and the others kept persuading the little brother to forget it. After all, this wooden building may collapse at any time due to such a big fire. It is extremely dangerous to go in now. No matter how important the photos are, their lives are not as important.

The faces of the surrounding villagers turned gloomy, and they all looked at them maliciously, as if they were blaming the little brother for breaking their rules, or they were worried that they would die.

But the little brother is still inside and hasn't come out. Even if they are facing the villagers with malicious intentions around them, everyone can't leave. They have to wait until the little brother comes out.

"Crackling..."

At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and one side of the wooden building had collapsed, and thick smoke was billowing immediately, and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats.

"Brother, come out quickly, the building is about to collapse!"

Naively shouted something inside.

The fat man took a bucket of water from a villager and poured it on the wall of the room, as if he wanted to put out a little fire and let the little brother come out. Unfortunately, facing such a big fire, this bucket of water is just a drop in the bucket .

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Tian Zhen was a little anxious to get on top of it. He quickly took off his coat, soaked it in water, covered his mouth and nose, and was about to rush in to save his brother.

"Don't look for death, you will only hinder him if you go in!" Zhang Yunfeng stopped him, the building may collapse at any time, going in at this time is tantamount to seeking death.

Tianzhen wanted to struggle, but found that Zhang Yunfeng was holding on tightly, and he couldn't break free at all. He was so anxious that he jumped up and down, breaking out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and an old man in his 70s and [-]s came to the scene surrounded by the crowd. From the respectful expressions of the crowd, it was not difficult to see that the old man had a very high status in the village, and he seemed to be the village chief. Or village cadres or something like that.

"Old secretary, this is here. It has been burning for several hours. Fortunately, it was discovered early and everyone was evacuated to a safe area in time. There are currently no casualties." One of them introduced.

Just as they were talking, a villager on the side went up and told about the little brother's trespassing.

The old man who was called the old secretary, and the person next to him, all of a sudden darkened their faces, and glanced at Zhang Yunfeng and others unkindly.

However, the fire is dangerous now, and they don't have time to settle accounts with everyone. The old man said to everyone present in an unquestionable tone: "This place is about to collapse, everyone retreats 200 meters away, and no one is allowed to approach!"

After finishing speaking, he waved to the young people next to him: "You are responsible for evacuating everyone to a safe area. In addition... let everyone prepare fire-fighting containers and open a fire-fighting channel to prevent the fire from spreading."

"Okay, old secretary."

"Understood, let's go now."

Several young people nodded, and quickly arranged for everyone to evacuate to an open area. The other young people organized the villagers to dig a fire extinguishing channel around the house and prepared a large amount of water.

Although Zhaizi is relatively backward, it has also received fire prevention propaganda and has awareness of this aspect, so it also understands this.

Soon everyone divided their labor and got busy.

The wooden building made a series of crackling sounds, and it seemed that it was about to collapse. At this moment, a figure rushed out from the flames. fire.
