Silkworm cocoons are flammable.

Bamboo baskets are also flammable.

Even the pillars and eaves in the warehouse are combustible.

So the fire was extremely fierce.

In almost a moment, the entire warehouse was on fire.

"It's water, it's water..."

The first guy who found the fire shouted loudly.

"Hurry up, put out the fire, put out the fire..."

This workshop lacks everything else, but there is no shortage of water, and there are large water tanks everywhere.

Soon dozens of workers, holding buckets and basins, desperately poured water to put out the fire.

The walls of these warehouses are all mud, and it is difficult to burn through them all at once.

If this continues, the fire may really be extinguished.

However…

In a warehouse a few hundred meters away.

A very strange picture appeared.

Two fellows were carrying a basket of silkworm cocoons inside.

suddenly…

A group of green flames burst out suddenly.

Will-o'-the-wisps!

The fellows swore it was a will-o'-the-wisp, just like the one they had seen in the grave.

It's too late, it's still too late.

Another guy next to him immediately wanted to bring water to fight the fire, but the water tank was tens of meters away.

So he had an idea.

A classic picture was born.

The guy who pissed on the fire.

Although this guy was eighteen years old, he was about the same size as the noted pissing boy on Earth.

He is so witty.

People say that they have big breasts and no brains, but small and clever birds, which seems to make sense.

Bah bah bah! Delete the paragraph above.

He fantasized about how much silver he could get for his great achievements after extinguishing this flame.

However, a shocking scene appeared.

Such a small ball of flame, such a big bubble of water.

It didn't even go out.

The will-o'-the-wisp swayed in the water and danced in the spray.

In this world, there is actually a fire that cannot be extinguished by water

It's really a will-o'-the-wisp!

Soon, the cocoons in the entire basket were ablaze.

This seems to be a signal.

Then, an even weirder and more terrifying scene appeared.

In a large workshop of hundreds of acres, in dozens of warehouses.

One after another, the will-o'-the-wisps ignited violently.

There was no sign, just like a ghost.

Basket after basket of cocoons was lit.

One warehouse after another was lit.

At first these people were still fighting the fire desperately.

Totally stunned afterwards!

Everyone was horrified when they saw this scene.

"Ah... there are ghosts, there are ghosts..."

Several warehouses, more than a dozen warehouses, dozens of warehouses, all began to burn.

This fire can no longer be put out.

Everyone earns wages, why bother to work for the master

"There are ghosts, there are ghosts, everyone run away!"

"Run, if you don't run, it will be too late, it will be too late..."

Then, hundreds of workers swarmed out.

Out of the big workshop.

It's still safe outside.

Because there are high walls blocking it.

These walls were originally used to prevent thieves, but now they have become the best isolation zone.

Hundreds of workers stood outside the workshop.

The autumn wind blows.

The fire in the workshop was even more violent.

In just a few moments, the large workshops of hundreds of acres were engulfed in flames.

No one can save this fire.

There are astronomical numbers of silkworm cocoons, countless raw silks, and countless silks.

All were burned.

Just this large workshop of hundreds of acres is worth more than tens of thousands of gold coins.

The hearts of these hundreds of workers were filled with fear and pleasure.

Xu Papi was miserable this time.

But the big workshop was burned down, and their jobs were also ruined.

"The will-o'-the-wisp, definitely the will-o'-the-wisp."

"I heard that this place turned out to be a mass grave."

"The ghost is here for revenge. I saw the fire of the ghost with my own eyes."

Hundreds of workers discussed it one after another, and concluded that it was a will-o'-the-wisp.

Dozens of hundreds of people have seen it, the green flame is burning out of thin air.

No one set fire at all.

In the fire that filled the sky, the wind howled, as if a ghost was howling.

Hundreds of workers were even more frightened and trembling.

Suddenly, a guy said: "It smells so good, I'm hungry."

When everyone smells it, it really smells good.

How many silkworm chrysalis are in these countless silkworm cocoons, of course it is delicious after being roasted by the fire.

These workers are heartless.

But the manager of the big workshop is Xu Guangyun's confidant.

Seeing this scene, his legs felt weak, and he almost peed out of his body.

It's over, it's over.

Everything is over!

"Quick, go to the city and report to the Patriarch!"

Then, the guards of more than a dozen workshops rode fast horses and rushed towards Xu's house in Xuanwu City.

The highest point of the castle in the Earl's Mansion of Xuanwu.

Shen Lang waited here after dinner, and even occupied the best seat in advance.

After making tea, I prepared melon seeds and snacks.

Just waiting to see a good show.

It didn't make him wait for a long time, just over an hour later.

The western sky was chilled by the flames.

The fire was so intense that the hundreds of acres of workshops were all ablaze.

Even if it is more than twenty miles away, I can see clearly.

Mulan, who was wearing a skirt, also stood watching from the side.

Shen Lang quietly leaned up and sniffed first.

The lady is so fragrant.

Shen Lang's hand touched Mulan's small waist.

Mulan didn't object.

Shen Lang's hand slid down little by little.

Mulan still didn't object.

Shen Lang's hand landed on the most plump and beautiful place.

Mulan still didn't object.

What an anomaly.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Lang saw Mulan's eyes filled with tears.

She was not sympathizing with the Xu family, but hating the destruction.

No matter who wrote it, construction is not easy, and it is heartbreaking to burn it down in such a big fire.

Shen Lang moved his hand up little by little, and put his arms around the lady's waist with a little force.

Mulan nestled in his arms.

"Miss, we are here to survive." Shen Lang said softly: "In this world, nothing is more important than survival. Even if you have kind thoughts in your heart, you must first live by yourself."

"I know." Mulan said, "I'm sad, but I don't regret it."

Shen Lang gently kissed Mulan's forehead, and said: "Young lady is always strong, I have never seen you so fragile as my husband."

Mulan said: "In the future, you will see more and more."

This is actually the biggest confession.

How can a strong person become weak

The reason is simple!

Xu Guangyun is throwing a big banquet.

The previous engagement banquet between Xu Qianqian and Zhang Jin was too high-end, the merchants of Xuanwu City, and even some relatives and friends of the Xu family were not eligible to attend.

It was originally planned to hold another one the day after the engagement banquet, and invite all these businessmen and relatives.

But at the engagement banquet that night, Shen Lang won a complete victory, the Xu family suffered a crushing defeat and lost all face, so the make-up banquet naturally came to nothing.

But today is a good day!

The boy Shen Lang lost, and the Xu family won a complete victory.

So Patriarch Xu organized this make-up banquet and invited all the rich merchants.

Shen Lang, this little bastard, finally had his bones broken and his spine broken today.

"Did you see that little bastard Shen Lang look like today? Not only did he bow and apologize to Patriarch Xu, but he also burned thousands of his own books with his own hands. This scene was really enjoyable."

"Yeah, this little bastard passed out on the spot. I heard that he vomited blood after being carried back to Earl Xuanwu's mansion."

"Mr. Xu has made a lot of money this time. You can buy 300,000 catties of silkworm cocoons with a 40% discount. How can there be such a good business in the world?"

Xu Guangyun smiled and said: "What is this? There are more than three million catties of silkworm cocoons produced in the fiefdom of the Earl of Xuanwu's Mansion? I plan to buy them all at a 30% discount."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was envious and jealous.

It's amazing that he and the prefect are married. I thought it would be a bottomless pit and we had to keep pouring money into it.

I didn't expect to make a lot of money.

It seems that the combination of power and money is the most powerful.

"Can Shen Lang not sell it? Does he dare not sell it? If he doesn't sell it anymore, the moths in these cocoons will fly out. At that time, those 100,000 people who are waiting to be fed will eat him alive. The hungry people will burn the entire Xuanwu Earl's Mansion to ashes."

"What can Uncle Xuanwu do? He buys food and feeds these 100,000 people with his own money? Where did he get the money? I'm not afraid to tell you that Earl Xuanwu's mansion not only has no money, but is heavily in debt, and the money owed will last for several lifetimes." .”

"The Jin family is nothing more than dead bones in the tomb, it's almost over!"

"As for Shen Lang, since he compromised for the first time, there is no bottom line." Xu Guangyun said lightly: "He wants me to buy the remaining three million catties of silkworm cocoons in his fief? Yes, tell me in public Kneel down and kowtow to make amends."

"Yes, yes, let this little bastard, Shen Lang, kowtow to Mr. Xu to make amends!"

Everyone liked it one after another.

Xu Qianqian did not drink with them, but drank alone in the room of Xiulou.

She wants to celebrate this victory quietly.

Just like those people said, Shen Lang's spine has been broken.

If he can burn books in public today, then he can kneel and kowtow tomorrow.

Once a person breaks through the bottom line of his dignity, he will become bottomless.

Thinking of Shen Lang's misfortune in the future, Xu Qianqian felt happy again, and even felt a little sympathy.

"Shen Lang, you shouldn't have gone to Earl Xuanwu's mansion to be your son-in-law at that time, you should have been a servant in my house, it would have a better end."

Dog licking should be a dog licking for a lifetime, why change your position

After the demise of the Earl's Mansion of Xuanwu in the future? You, Shen Lang, will die without a place to bury you.

And now it seems that Shen Lang may not be able to last until that day.

Xu Qianqian picked up the wine glass, opened the window, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus in the third season.

I drank a little too much, slightly tipsy.

I don't know why, but it feels a little wet.

Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and drink together to form three people.

Xu Qianqian still couldn't compose such an awesome poem. And she actually doesn't like writing poems, let alone being a talented woman.

A toast to the bright moon, a toast to destruction.

Shen Lang, your short legendary career is over.

Xu Qianqian drank it all in one gulp.

Then…

She seemed to see a flame.

To be precise, it wasn't the fire, but a red light in the western sky.

Her heart skipped a beat.

That seems to be the direction of her big workshop

Although the Xu family is rich, they are only businessmen after all, and cannot be built on a mountain like the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion.

The terrain here is not high enough, nor can it be seen clearly enough.

Xu Qianqian froze for a moment, then ran towards the highest place in the house.

Never, never!

Xu Qianqian ran wildly, praying desperately in her heart.

Xu Guangyun was a little drunk.

His personality was already wild, but at this moment he was complacent and even a little carried away.

"Everyone, my family will hold a big banquet tomorrow, please continue to come and let everyone watch a good show."

"Didn't Shen Lang win a big victory at my daughter's engagement banquet last time, and was majestic? Tomorrow night, let him kneel down in public and apologize."

"If he doesn't kneel, he will let the 100,000 people in the fiefdom of the Earl of Xuanwu starve to death!"

"Ha ha ha ha… "

And at this moment!

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

The steward of the Xu family's big workshop rushed in with a dozen guards. Their faces were still dark and their bodies were still covered with ashes.

Seeing the distressed appearance of this group of people, Xu Guangyun said angrily: "How decent are you? My place is full of guests and friends. If you are in such a distressed state, wouldn't it hurt my face?"

The chief steward knelt down and kowtowed, crying: "Master, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good. Our workshop caught fire, and everything was burned clean. Countless cocoons, countless raw silk and silk, all It's all burned, it's all over, it's all over..."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Guangyun's body shook immediately.

As if he had an auditory hallucination, he even dug his ears.

And the guests and friends in the audience suddenly fell into silence.

I could hardly believe my ears.

Xu's big workshop burned down

How can it be

There are water tanks everywhere, and there is water vapor everywhere, so how could it possibly burn

After a while, Xu Guangyun suddenly stepped forward and kicked the chief steward.

"I let you talk nonsense, I let you talk nonsense! Are you impatient to live, or are you drinking too much cat urine?"

The big steward kowtowed desperately and said, "Really, really, Master, you will know after you go and have a look."

At this time, Xu Qianqian ran over like a gust of wind.

"Father, something is wrong. There is fire in the west direction."

"Come on, prepare the carriage, and go to the big workshop!"

A while later, Xu Guangyun and Xu Qianqian rode in a carriage and rushed towards the big workshop outside the city.

When Xu Qianqian and Xu Guangyun arrived.

The entire workshop has been surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.

Not to put out the fire, but to keep it from spreading.

Because there is no need to save the big workshops.

It's almost burnt out, and many of the walls are starting to crumble.

The autumn clothes are cool, but so close to the fire, it's like being roasted.

But Xu Guangyun's whole body was cold, and he couldn't feel the slightest bit of temperature.

Look at this soaring fire.

All his drunkenness disappeared without a trace.

A cold air rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

It has been decades, and this large workshop has expanded from a few acres to tens of acres, and finally to hundreds of acres.

The foundation of two generations.

Not to mention that there are astronomical numbers of cocoons, raw silk and silk in it.

Now it's all on fire.

How much is this loss

Only God knows!

This is most of the belongings.

This big workshop is the foundation of the Xu family!

It's all ruined now.

Just over an hour ago, he was complacent and felt that he was at the pinnacle of his life.

But at this time, fate seemed to kick him to the eighteenth floor of hell.

God

God

God, why are you doing this to me

"Why don't you put out the fire, why don't you put out the fire!" Xu Guangyun roared frantically.

The chief steward cried, "It can't be saved, it can't be saved. Dozens of storehouses burned at the same time. The fire is so strange that even water can't put it out."

It's all over, it's all over!

"Ah... ah..."

Xu Guangyun roared like a wounded beast.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a surge of air rushing in his chest and abdomen.

That suffocation is about to explode.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp pain in the abdomen.

Then a mouthful of blood spurted out violently.

This time, it really spurted blood!

And it came out mouthful after mouthful.

Then, Shen Lang's face appeared in Xu Guangyun's mind, like a sneering poisonous snake.

"Shen Lang, you are so poisonous, you are so poisonous..."

Then, Xu Guangyun suddenly fell backwards.
