Chapter 137 Be careful!

Xiao Qishu, who was still in a hugging posture, was a little embarrassed, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a creak, and a solid wooden beam that traversed the entire granary broke from the middle, and the part that had turned into charcoal hit Song Qingyou directly.

"careful!"

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Qishu flew to hug Song Qingyou and threw himself aside.

"boom!"

The charcoal hit the ground, and the high temperature instantly turned some nearby grains into coke.

The beams were broken, the granary began to collapse, and the falling bricks and tiles made the road out narrower and narrower.

No longer able to delay, the two of them stood up and rushed out in unison. Xiao Qishu, armed with martial arts skills, observed the broken walls and debris around him as he ran. From time to time, he would fly up and kick away the charred wood blocking the way. Song Qingyou also relied on her keen figure to avoid the things falling from her head.

The firelight all over the sky made it difficult for Song Qingyou to judge the time. Her throat began to dry up and her legs began to gradually become heavy. Maybe it was only a few breaths, or maybe it took a long time. Just when she felt that her legs were almost weak, a basin of water came to her face. Come.

The clerk who was trying to put out the fire did not expect that a person suddenly rushed out and was stunned on the spot for a moment.

"It's Miss Song!"

I don't know who yelled first, and then burst into cheers.

Just as the two of them rushed out of the sea of ​​​​fire, there was a loud noise behind them, and the granary finally collapsed completely. If they had been a step later, they would have died.

Everyone rushed to take the two to a safe place. Dr. Sun carried the medicine box to check the injuries of the two at the first time. Fortunately, they were all burns.

After everyone's efforts, the fire in the granary was finally extinguished. Fortunately, the granary was built to prevent flooding from destroying all the harvest. There was a distance between each granary, and the fire was discovered in time. The loss can be said to be minimized.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, a discordant voice came from the crowd: "Why did it catch fire when she was the only one?"

The scene was instantly audible, but I couldn't find out who said it.

I don’t know if the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was concerned. Fang Cheng came out from behind with a dark face and asked: "It's so late, why are you still in the granary?"

"If I'm too tired, I'll take a nap in the granary." Song Qingyou replied while rubbing her legs.

Fang Cheng finally grasped the handle, but how could he let it go so easily? He persisted and asked, "Then why did the granary catch fire?"

Song Qingyou was really angry and laughed, "What do you mean, Mr. Fang? Do you suspect that I set the fire?"

"That's not sure." Xiao Yiran who didn't know when he came came to help.

Cheng Yuxi on the side couldn't listen any longer, so he pulled Xiao Yiran and said: "Who would set fire to almost burn himself to death? I think the arsonist must be someone else."

"What are you doing!" Xiao Yiran looked at Cheng Yuxi angrily.

No matter who set the fire, Fang Cheng was determined to pin the crime on Song Qingyou, but the common people were not fools, and started discussing in a hurry, but he had no choice but to give up, and left after saying a few words on the scene.

The fire is basically extinguished, and some messes will be cleaned up at dawn tomorrow morning.

Trembling, Lin Shuang poured herself a glass of water, trying to suppress the panic in her heart.

The door of the room was kicked open before anyone finished drinking, and Xiao Baishu rushed in angrily.

"Did you set the fire?"

"Dangdang!"

Lin Shuang was startled and knocked over the cup in his hand.

"You!" Xiao Baishu pointed at Lin Shuang and scolded, "Ignorant woman! Do you know that if you are discovered at this time, it will be a death penalty!"

Lin Shuang covered her face fiercely and cried, "I'm not for you!"

Xiao Baishu looked incredulous, "For me? To make me die early!"

After saying this, Lin Shuang cried even harder, "Look at Dafang, because Xiao Ningning got the whole family's chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, and he got out of slavery directly. Although Sanfang is still a slave, no one in the county can see it. Say hello respectfully. How about you!"

"I-I-" Xiao Baishu was also speechless by the question, and couldn't sleep anymore. He got up, put on his clothes and slammed the door.

"What are you doing!"

The only answer to Lin Shuang was the creaking door.

Lin Shuang, who cried for a while, became more and more frightened as she thought about it. Xiao Baishu was an honest person in the past. Thanks to the support of the Xiao family, he became a fourth-rank official. He worked for 20 years without any mistakes or merits. Arson, there is no guarantee that he will not make a righteous act of destroying relatives.

When people are in a panic, they want to find a backbone. At this moment, the first thing Lin Shuang thought of was Xiao Ningning. She ignored the tears on her face, put on her shoes and socks and stumbled to Fang's house.

It happened that Fangcheng was on duty tonight, and Xiao Ningning was not resting at this time. She saw Lin Shuang coming with tears on her face, which was very different.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Shuang looked at the servants on both sides, and Xiao Ningning immediately told everyone to retreat.

After everyone retreated, Lin Shuang checked the doors and windows again and said: "During the plague, I saw Xiao Yiran tampering with the soup. If you don't want Song Qingyou to know about this, please help me."

Xiao Ningning didn't expect Xiao Yiran to be so bold in tampering with the medicine, and then asked in confusion: "What can I help you with?"

Lin Shuang's heart skipped a beat and she told him exactly who had set the fire.

Xiao Ningning was also surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that Lin Shuang, who had always been cowardly, could do such a thing. Unfortunately, he failed to kill Song Qingyou.

Lin Shuang straightened her temples and tried to calm down before speaking: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope. Whether it is drugging or setting fire, if Song Qingyou finds out, there will be no good end, so we need to cooperate in the future."

Xiao Ningning himself had suffered many losses from Song Qingyou's hands, now that an ally came to his door, he naturally had no reason to refuse, and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

Lin Shuang had been in the Xiao family for many years and was in charge of the affairs of the second room. After experiencing the initial panic, he calmed down and said, "First of all, you have to help me hide the arson and let Fang Cheng find a scapegoat to cover it up." I understand. Then I will find a way to arrange Xiao Baishu to work in a place where he can get access to food, and then I will find my own way."

"Okay, it's a deal."

After going back that night, Song Qingyou had been reviewing what happened before and after the fire. The person who said that was obviously her, so the first suspect was either Xiao Ningning or Xiao Yiran, but when she recalled the look on their faces that night Sometimes it feels wrong.

Song Qingyou was in a daze. Xiao Qishu, who came back from outside, waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Are you thinking about arson again?"

"The fire almost burned me to death, how can we not find people out."

Xiao Qishu poured a glass of water and put it in front of Song Qingyou, and said leisurely: "The county magistrate is coming back, don't forget the agreement you made with the master."
