The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 208: Burning stables, frightened horses

There are several grooms watching over the stables, and the troughs are full of fodder.The eighth brother-in-law and Xie Jiuhuan have never been rich, so they can't figure out whether it is the Wei family's groom who has just fed the horse, or whether the Wei family's horse lives like this, with the trough always full of food. day.

"Someone is watching," the eighth brother-in-law whispered to Xie Jiuhuan, "We can't move forward."

Xie Jiuhuan: "Can't you set a fire if you don't move forward?"

Eighth brother-in-law: "I'm going to bring a bow and arrow. I can launch a rocket or something, but now I'm carrying only my clothes behind me."

In order to avoid suspicion, the eighth brother-in-law only carried his own clothes and did not carry them for Xie Jiuhuan.The two people were carrying their changed clothes on their backs, using their coats as temporary baggage. Looking at them from behind, they looked weird.

Xie Jiuhuan: "Then you go talk to the grooms, and I'll put the fire on."

Eighth brother-in-law: "You know how to set fire?"

Xie Jiuhuan touched two fire folds and came out.

Eighth Brother-in-law: "You still carry this with you when you go out?"

Xie Jiuhuan: "The fourth young master gave it to me. Brother-in-law, do you have it with you? Give it all to me."

The eighth brother-in-law pursed his lips, took out a fire seal, handed it to Xie Jiuhuan, and said, "Why does the fourth young master carry two fire seals with him? Isn't he afraid of burning himself?"

Xie Jiuhuan: "Oh, he and Mu Dong each brought one. Didn't you see it when Mu Dong gave me the fire fold?"

The eighth brother-in-law looked at Xie Jiuhuan with dead eyes, "I didn't see it."

Xie Jiuhuan shrugged, "Sometimes the truth hurts, but I tell the truth for your own good. Eighth brother-in-law, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Eighth brother-in-law: "You don't need to tell me."

Xie Jiuhuan said sincerely: "In the future, you can be a general, a marshal of the armed forces, or anything like that. Just don't do things like detectives and horse scouts. You are not suitable."

This was so bad that the eighth brother-in-law didn't know where to start complaining.He can't even do a good job on a horse, so he still wants to be a marshal?

Looking down at the three fire dumplings in his hand, Xie Jiuhuan said, "Shall we start now?"

The eighth brother-in-law: "Are they, the fourth young master, at the gate now?"

Don't forget that they have finished all the work here, and Lin Deyi hasn't arrived at the gate of Wei Mansion yet.

Xie Jiuhuan: "It should be here, right? Can he leave us and run home with others?"

No matter how Lin Deyi looked at it, he didn't look like such a heartless coward.The eighth brother-in-law lowered his head and adjusted his clothes as the gatekeeper of the Wei Mansion, and then confirmed with Xie Jiuhuan: "Can you really set fire?"

Xie Jiuhuan: "Don't worry."

The eighth brother-in-law cleared his throat, walked towards the grooms, and shouted: "Hey, brothers."

The groomsmen were startled by the sudden noise of the eighth brother-in-law, and quickly turned to look at the eighth brother-in-law.This man looked like a member of their family by his clothes, but his face was unfamiliar.

"Who are you?" A man who looked like the steward of the stable asked the eighth brother-in-law up and down.

The eighth brother-in-law walked up to the steward, waved to the grooms who were standing in different places, and said, "I heard that there is a reward coming out of the house today, but I don't know if it is true."

tips?

When the grooms heard this, they became energetic.

"There is no happy event in the house," the steward said suspiciously, "How come a reward is given? Who did you listen to? No, you are new here? Why have I never seen you before?"

Eighth brother-in-law: "I used to work hard at Zhuangzi. No, it took a lot of effort to come to the house to serve me."

The eighth brother-in-law was very familiar with himself, and he was also very good at telling nonsense. In just a few words, he started chatting with several grooms.

The steward asked: "It's not easy to get into the house. Whose way can you go?" "Who said that the reward was going to be given?" This was the question asked by the concerned groom.

The eighth brother-in-law said with a simple and honest smile, "Well, it, it's a long story..."

While talking nonsense, the eighth brother-in-law turned to look at where Xie Jiuhuan was standing. At this sight, the eighth brother-in-law's heart trembled. There was no trace of Xie Jiuhuan in the shade just now.

"Tell me about it," the manager asked with great interest. He also had relatives who wanted to come to the house to serve him, but he couldn't find a way. Someone came to his door today, so he had to ask carefully.

"I can't elaborate on this matter," the eighth brother-in-law said to the stable manager, while looking into the stable, it was like a ghost, there was no sign of Xie Jiuhuan in the stable.

The eighth brother-in-law is sweating again. Where has his ninth sister-in-law gone?
Fat Orange got into the stable and almost got kicked by a horse before he even looked up.Jumping up and dodging, Fat Orange bared his teeth at the tall horse in front of him.

The horse mewed softly, and when it saw the cat in front of it turned into a human, the white horse froze.

"It's up to you," Xie Jiuhuan took the fire stick and lit the fodder in the trough.

The forage smoked first, and the fire was very small at the beginning, just a small spark, the kind that would be extinguished by the wind.

"If you want to survive, run faster," Xie Jiuhuan started lighting fires everywhere while chatting with Baima: "You look like the leader here, you have to take the responsibility of leading the brothers to escape, do you understand? "

The white horse raises its hooves and hits the ground. This is a concrete manifestation of the horse's nervousness.

"Why are you still sweating?" The steward outside asked the eighth brother-in-law who was sweating on his face.

The eighth brother-in-law raised his hand to wipe his face and said, "I was just thinking, since my brothers haven't heard that the government is going to give out rewards, am I happy in vain?"

Steward: "I told you just now, there is no happy event in the house now, how can the masters give out rewards?"

The Wei family is rich, but being rich doesn't mean they are generous to their servants.

The eighth brother-in-law slapped his thigh, "Then wasn't I deceived?"

The steward was about to say, please tell me which way you took to enter the house to serve, but at this moment, the steward smelled the smell of burning grass.

"What does it smell like?" the manager asked.

Several people looked around together.

The eighth brother-in-law looked at the stables at first sight. The smoke in the stables was already very strong. "Ouch," the eighth brother-in-law pointed at the stables and shouted, "stables, your stables are on fire!"

The eighth brother-in-law had a big throat and roared so hard that the steward's ears buzzed.

The person in charge was only two seconds behind the eighth brother-in-law, so he turned around and looked at the stables.When he looked, there was not only smoke in the stable, but also a red fire.

The steward's liver and gallbladder were broken, and the stable was on fire. He couldn't escape the blame!

"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!" the manager shouted, his throat breaking.

The horses in the stables rushed out. Under the smoke and fire, the horses in the stables were frightened.

"Hurry up," the eighth brother-in-law shouted enthusiastically, pretending to put out the fire and loudly said: "Where is the bucket? Fill it with water to put out the fire!"

"No," the steward shouted again, "stop the horse. The horse is frightened. Stop the horse quickly!"

If the horse is injured, he can't afford to pay for it. If the horse runs around in the house and hurts a servant, it's okay. If he is unlucky and hurts a master, he can't pay for it even if he takes his own life.

The white horse rushed ahead, and when a groom tried to stop it, the white horse knocked him to the ground.If this guy hadn't rolled around so fast on the ground, he would have died under the horse's hooves.

The eighth brother-in-law casually picked up an empty bucket and ran towards the stable where the fire had spread to the roof. Where was his ninth sister-in-law?The stables were on fire and the horses were frightened. Why didn't his ninth sister-in-law come out of the stables?
