The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land
Chapter 158 Empty
The three of them didn't delay and headed towards the source of the sound.
Bai Zhao ran all the way, panting. Bai Jingzhi saved a lot of energy because Zhou Yue'e was with him.
They had solar lights in their hands, which made the process much faster.
Bai Jingzhi observed the layout of the house along the way and had even less favorable impression of the county magistrate.
The magistrate of Liu County was a man who loved pleasure. There was no shortage of flowers, plants, trees, rockery and rocks here.
"This county magistrate is really rich!"
Although this place is small, its layout is comparable to that of Prince Li’s Palace.
When the three arrived at their destination, they saw thick smoke rising from the yard.
"Where are they? Are they inside? Ahem~"
Bai Jingzhi casually took out three fire extinguishers from Guiyuantianju and said, "Put out the fire first, then find the county magistrate."
The smoke was so thick that they couldn't see the actual situation clearly.
Bai Zhao demonstrated it to Zhou Yue'e, "Yue'e, stand on a high place and take a look at what's going on. We'll rush in later."
"Jingzhi, there are gas masks in each courtyard. Take them out and we'll put them on before we go in. Also, get a few buckets of water."
Bai Zhao didn't explain much at this time and finished assigning tasks to everyone in a few minutes.
Bai Jingzhi pursed his lips and smiled. The Bai Zhao who was decisive and efficient in the original world was back.
Her father put a lot of thought into Guiyuantianju, and all the preparations he had made were used here.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Zhou Yue'e to come down from the tree.
"The outermost room was on fire, but the door was tightly closed and there was no movement inside."
Logically speaking, all those who came to Liu County were martial artists, so it was impossible for them to be so quiet.
This is also the thing that Zhou Yue'e can't understand the most.
"Hurry, they may have fainted." Bai Jingzhi has seen a lot of news like this in their world. When a fire breaks out, they inhale thick smoke and faint, and there is no chance of escape.
The granary is full of grain, which is naturally very dry, and will burn faster.
Bai Zhao picked up the bucket and poured it over Bai Jingzhi's head. "Come on, Yue'e, do it yourself."
Bai Jingzhi was stunned. She thought they were going to be used to put out the water, but unfortunately, time was tight and she only found a few buckets.
It turns out it was for personal use.
"Stop standing there, let's go!"
Bai Zhao was the first to rush over.
"Dad, be careful. Let Sister Yue'e kick the door open first. She has martial arts skills."
Bai Jingzhi instructed from behind that the people inside should be rescued but they should not sacrifice themselves.
Besides, since these people fell for it, the county magistrate is not a fool.
The mechanical devices in his study are so sophisticated that ordinary people cannot use them.
After hearing this, Zhou Yue'e rushed over and said, "Uncle, I know how to use it. I'll go in first and you can go later."
"This girl just listens to Jingzhi!"
Bai Zhao knew his daughter very well. This girl had always been very picky and had few friends.
Now that she is so close to Zhou Yue'e, it seems that she still recognizes Yue'e.
With Zhou Yue'e paving the way, they entered smoothly.
There was thick smoke and billowing flames inside.
The three of them were wearing gas masks and were not affected for the time being.
It's just that the fire was so big that the fire extinguisher only reduced its intensity a little.
In the end, it was Bai Jingzhi who tried to bring water from Guiyuantianjuli to put out the fire.
They found the men from before, lying unconscious on the ground.
There was no trace of the county magistrate among them, they were all their own people.
All their equipment was taken back by Bai Jingzhi to avoid being seen by these people.
When Bai Jingzhi came out again, she found some detoxification pills from the pharmacy in Guiyuantianju and gave them to Bai Zhao and Zhou Yue'e, "Quick, give them a few detoxification pills."
The three of them acted together and moved much faster.
Wei Liu was the first to wake up. After waking up, he began to cough violently and his voice became hoarse.
Bai Zhao went over and patted him on the back, "Sixth Uncle, are you okay?"
After Wei Liu's coughing subsided, he spoke after a long pause, "I never thought that I, Wei Liu, who has been competitive for most of my life, would end up falling into the hands of such a loser!"
"What's going on? Where is that fat guy?" Bai Zhao asked quickly.
"We followed him here, and he took us to check the food. We were so busy loading the food that we didn't notice his movements."
Wei Liu took a few deep breaths of fresh air and felt much more comfortable.
"Sixth Grandfather, how did you get ambushed?"
Bai Jingzhi reminded him to continue.
"There are many mechanisms in this room. They are well hidden and ingenious, one after another. The magistrate of Liu County activated them when we were not paying attention."
Wei Liu spoke slowly and in a hoarse voice.
It turned out that only a portion of the food inside was real, and the rest was just straw.
"It seems that this place is just a cover." Bai Jingzhi always felt that something was wrong. The disappearance of this county magistrate was too strange.
There must be some secrets here.
"It's a good thing you didn't follow me! By the way, where did you go?"
Wei Liu turned to Bai Zhao again and asked this question as if by accident.
"I'm going to pee, hehe~" Bai Zhao answered quickly, "I'll tell the person at the back."
"Well, it's a good thing you came in time, otherwise all of us would have been buried in the sea of fire."
Wei Liu sighed, then looked down at the person lying on the ground, his eyes full of coldness.
Their conditions are similar now, with their bodies and faces all blackened by the thick smoke.
"How did you two come here? It's so late, they must be looking for you sisters, right?"
Wei Liu felt better now and had time to question the man, so he naturally asked a few questions.
"Hey, you just want to watch the fun. If it weren't for us, you would all be roasted suckling pigs."
Bai Jingzhi began to divert attention and talk about other things.
The people lying on the ground woke up one after another.
Wei Li was a little surprised when he saw the two sisters of Bai Jingzhi, "Why are you two girls here to join in the fun?"
"If we don't join in the fun, you'll be dried up!" Zhou Yue'e spoke first. She hated this kind of talk the most.
"Besides, what's wrong with you girls? We rescued you guys."
The two started to argue with each other as soon as they met, and it was only after Wei Liu stopped them that they stopped.
Bai Jingzhi spoke up at this time, "This is just a trick set up by the county magistrate. We should find the real granary. There was a big fire just now. If someone comes to check, it will be inconvenient for us to move."
Wei Liu asked everyone, "Did you see which direction the county magistrate hid in just now?"
"I didn't notice it. He couldn't see clearly when he activated the mechanism, and then he fainted."
Changbo was also resentful when he mentioned this.
Wei Li was also unwilling to give up. "If I find where he hides the food, I will definitely empty it out to vent my anger."
Bai Jingzhi and Zhou Yue'e smiled at each other, and they understood each other tacitly. They had already emptied the private vault of the county magistrate and his wife.
Wei Liu frowned and gritted his teeth, "Look for him now, he can't run far. We have to find him before daybreak."
Bai Jingzhi suddenly had an idea and asked, "Let's go to the study and take a look?"
