    Chapter 36

    When the fire first started, it was the thin monkey who first discovered it.  At first the fire was very small, but he said with a cheerful smile that it seemed to be on fire over there, but now those lanterns will be miserable.  Unexpectedly, after a while, it turned into a raging fire and spread rapidly.

    When the fire started, Cai Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat.  Although their booth was not close to that one, she immediately asked the big guy to close the booth, and was going to leave here directly.

    Since she regained her sanity, she has been very worried about the fire problem.  Yangcheng has a large population, and the residences are densely packed with houses, and basically all of them are wooden houses.  Once it burns, it will be very difficult to put out the fire, and once it burns, it will be impossible to come back.

    Although the city is fairly well-prepared, with fire extinguishers everywhere and a special fire watch tower, she is still very worried.  In later generations, fire extinguishing equipment is so developed, it is often difficult to control, not to mention the conditions here are so backward.

    "Shouhou, hurry up and take us to a place where there are few people. We have to leave this place quickly." Cai Xiaoman said while tidying up quickly, with a very nervous expression on his face.

    The children were a little unhappy. Although a lot of words were sold, there were still a lot of mooncakes.

    "It's still early, let's wait. If the fire can't start, there are special soldiers watching everywhere. It's near the river, so it can be extinguished soon." The thin monkey said.

    Fires did occur frequently in Yangcheng in the past. Basically, there were several major fires every year. The most serious one burned for four consecutive days and nights, razing a large part of the city to the ground, and more than 50,000 houses were wiped out in the fire.  The fire spread inside and outside the city walls, dozens of people died in the fire, and countless people died in the stampede.

    That time was a catastrophe in Yangcheng, and countless people were homeless.  Although the imperial court later provided relief to the victims of the disaster, it was nothing compared to the losses.

    This big fire made Yangcheng attach great importance to fire prevention in the city. There is a shop every two hundred steps, which is responsible for patrolling local fireworks.  There are large water tanks standing in front of the door, which are filled with water all the year round, and are only used to put out fires.  There are also special ladders for fire fighting in high buildings.  The fire brigade is also equipped with special buckets, ropes, fireproof clothing, etc., and is much more prepared than before.

    This has greatly improved the fire situation in the city, and there has not been a large-scale fire for a long time.

    Cai Xiaoman didn't give them a chance to hesitate, and directly ordered: "If you regard me as the leader of the gang, just listen to my words and act quickly!"

    When the boss spoke, no matter how many opinions he had in his heart, he didn't dare to express his opinions. The few people quickly packed up their things, followed the skinny monkey, and left the original place, running along trails and places with water.

    I have to say that Skinny Monkey is like a living map, as long as you ask him, he can find the right way for you.

    ? At first it was peaceful, although the place was on fire, everyone didn't take it seriously.  Every year during the Lantern Festival, this situation happens, and the fire is quickly extinguished.  The memory of burning Yangcheng in the past has been forgotten by many people, and their vigilance has also decreased a lot.

    But after a while, everyone realized that the situation was wrong, and immediately fled around.

    There were people coming and going on the street, and once the commotion started, the scene suddenly became chaotic.  People's fear is easily spread. People who thought it was nothing at first were infected by the nervousness of other people, and they all ran like headless chickens.

    The six people were running, and gradually began to hear screams and screams behind them, and they were all frightened when they looked back.

    The fire was like a big curtain that connected to the sky one after another. It was burning blazingly and quickly attacked the crowd, and a group of people ran desperately.  Some people were knocked down and trampled directly by the people behind, the scene was horrible.

    The fire quickly reached the place where they set up their stall just now. If they were still there just now, their small bodies would definitely suffer a lot in the chaos.

    "What are you doing in a daze, run away!" Cai Xiaoman was the first to react, and hurriedly dragged a few people who were still in a daze.

    Only then did the big guy come back to his senses, and the thin monkey didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly led everyone to the appropriate path.  The people here have also been infected by the tragedy behind, and they have also begun to commotion.

    Thin monkey led everyone to flee here and there, avoiding the turbulent crowd, and ran back home smoothly all the way.

    Away from the flames and coming to a familiar place, a group of people stopped.  Everyone was panting, still in shock, with sweat all over their foreheads.

    "This is too hanging." Iron Hammer couldn't help sighing.

    As for the situation just now, even if the fire was quickly extinguished, they would definitely not be able to please them there with the chaotic appearance.  He's better, he's big and strong, and the thin ones like short melons and white noodles are easy to be squeezed and fall down.Everyone talked about the details of the fire that day, but everyone was more careful about fire prevention. There were more people patrolling the streets, and the large water tanks and watchtowers were denser than before.

    As for the cause of the fire, there are different opinions, and there is no definite answer so far.

    The fire had a great impact on the people, but it was only a topic for a while, and everyone returned to normal life soon.  Only those affected by the disaster bear the consequences silently and slowly heal the pain in their hearts.

    Life has to go on, and no one has time to think about the past.

    The sale of Cai Xiaoman's mooncakes was interrupted due to an unexpected incident, and there were still seven boxes in hand that could not be sold.  The head of the family didn't let her go out to sell, but she couldn't do it, so she thought she would just give it all up, as a reward for herself and a group of friends from the Bull Gang.

    Unexpectedly, when she was about to go out, Bai Mian led a person to the door and asked to buy the moon cakes she made.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
