Chapter 119 Who Set the Fire (1)_1
Staring at the raging fire before him, Mo Dashan, holding a fire match stick, was completely dumbfounded.
He had intended to start a fire to burn some wood and cause trouble for Mo Qingze, but he hadn’t set the fire yet, so how did it start burning on its own?
Seeing the fire growing fiercer with the help of the wind, and the flames nearly reaching the thatched huts nearby, Mo Dashan snapped out of his reverie and rushed to the house closest to the fire, pounding on the door and shouting, "Fire, fire, wake up and put out the fire!"
The temperature was getting more and more scorching. If the fire wasn’t extinguished soon, all the thatched houses in the area would be destroyed, and there might even be casualties. Mo Dashan was truly panicked.
The family that was awakened by the noise heard the word ’fire’ and then the crackling outside, panicked so much that they didn’t even have time to put on their clothes properly, just threw on a jacket and ran out to see the fire about to reach their house, shouted out loud, and hurried back inside to wake the others, frantically heading to the kitchen to grab a bucket to fight the fire.
Seeing this, Mo Dashan grabbed him, "The fire is too big; water won’t put it out. Right now, we need to move the wood stacked around to prevent the fire from spreading to it."
The man, also panicked, hadn’t thought of this, but upon hearing Mo Dashan’s words, he quickly dropped the bucket and ran to move the wood placed under the eaves.
This man’s last name was Lin and his name was Lin Mu. He belonged to the Lin Clan and was skilled in carpentry. Most of the wooden beams and rafters prepared for the Mo Family last year had been processed and crafted by him.
At that moment, watching piles of wood being swallowed up by the flames, Lin Mu was frantic, wishing he could grow several more hands to save the wood.
