After hearing Uncle Xiaobei's words and looking at the determined Lin, Jing Changning agreed that they made sense. Finally, he arranged for Lin to keep watch in the women's tent, alerting everyone to evacuate if there was any movement. Jing Changning and Dalang continued to take turns guarding the tent, keeping an eye on the surrounding area, especially the direction of the two toilets. The dry autumn air made him feel that danger was coming from there.

Before going to bed, he came over and gave his niece a little slap, worried that she wouldn't sleep at such a young age: "Sister Xi, sleep well and don't dwell on this. It may not happen tonight. If there is anything, your uncle will ask Lin to remind you."

He was too tired during the day. Although he was worried about something, Jing Chunxi fell asleep unknowingly when he heard snoring next to him.

She was woken up by someone while she was drowsy. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Lin who kept shaking her and her grandmother beside her, and she was also shouting loudly to everyone: "Everyone wake up, hurry, hurry, there is a fire outside, it's dangerous."

Lin shook the tent a few times and saw that the people in the tent were beginning to wake up. He didn't care whether the old lady was awake or not. He put his arms around her and helped her sit up. Then he lifted her up on his back. Seeing that her frail body was holding the old lady on his back, he actually managed to carry her on his back. Now he didn't care about anything else and didn't care whether the old lady's posture was comfortable or not. He jumped on her and rushed out directly. His speed was like frosting in a hurry.

The old lady cried out in pain, and the other people who were still confused woke up completely. As soon as they opened their eyes, they knew to tell each other what Lin had just shouted. Everyone got up immediately after knowing the fire, but they were still not sober enough. Even Sugar Frost looked confused and didn't react immediately. No matter how early she got up normally, she would not go out to grab water that early.

When the others heard such screams and heard the old lady crying out in pain all the way out, they were immediately frightened. Tang Shuang crawled the fastest and got up to carry Jing Chunxi and the old lady. When she couldn't carry the old lady, she wanted to carry Jing Chunxi, but failed. Jing Chunxi also didn't let her carry him. Seeing that the young master was more sober than her, she gave up the idea.

Everyone except the two little kids stood up. Jing Changning had specifically told them to sleep with their clothes on last night, so they moved quickly.

However, when the Zhuang family heard that there was a fire, they only heard the sound of wind whistling outside and the crackling sound of a fire, but the tent was not lit and there was no heat. The old lady had already been rescued, so they were not too anxious and did not run out immediately.

Zhuang was even more noisy, playing the leading role of the mistress of the house, and she shouted loudly: "Hurry up and roll up the quilt and put away the pillow, otherwise there will be nothing to cover yourself with tomorrow."

"The oilcloth underneath was quickly rolled up. It's very expensive and there's nowhere to buy it."

This excited everyone. They felt that nothing should be wasted and everything had to be grabbed. Frosting was the most active. She rolled up the oilcloth at one foot and then hugged the two small balls that had not yet been rolled up to the open space. She also followed suit and was busy, not even thinking that there was any real danger.

This made Jing Chunxi, who had originally wanted to run away with Lin and his grandmother, extremely angry. He quickly shouted, "Aunt, let's go quickly! The fire is about to start."

This is not a joke. Grandpa said last night that the wind direction is not in their favor. Just now, I heard that there was a fire outside. There was such a strong wind and the sound of fire burning, but no noise or cries for help. I knew that the fire was very fast and fierce. It should spread quickly, and they would not have time to pack up their things slowly.

"Aunts, are you really going to die for the quilt? You all ran away so that I could collect these little things. But I couldn't say this. Jing Chunxi was so angry that he almost went crazy."

Jing Chunxi's shouting was completely useless. After a while, seeing that no one responded, even the concubines were still fighting over the things, he shouted angrily, "Let's go quickly. I'm so angry."

But the noise outside was loud, and the voices of the women in the tent were even louder. They didn't listen at all, and even if they did, they still had a little hope. After all, this was a family's property on the road to exile, and they all wanted to grab as much as they could.

Jing Chunxi was angry. She had just thought that since everyone had run away, she wouldn't need much of her space. It turned out that women are troublesome when they become stubborn and won't listen to advice at all.

Jing Chunxi had no idea what was happening with his grandfather, so he quickly took out the drugs that he had put in his sleeve. After opening the paper package, he held his breath tightly, sprinkled the drugs into the air, and ran out first.

If she didn't run out to get some fresh air, she would be drugged herself. Besides, the drug would take effect for a few seconds, and everyone had to lose consciousness before it could be withdrawn. Jing Chunxi thought that she should take advantage of these few seconds to rescue the people in the other tent first.

She was worried that her third uncle and eldest brother, who were on night watch, were too busy catching the bad guys to save people.

Unexpectedly, when we lifted up the tent on my grandfather's side, we saw that the last two people who ran out were my third uncle and Grandpa Xiaobei. The others had already carried my grandfather out.

Seeing that she was a little dazed, Jing Changning pushed her out: "Has everyone over there come out? Hurry and go."

Seeing this, Jing Chunxi hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't let anyone come over." Jing Changning understood and pushed Grandpa Xiaobei away, saying, "Those guys can't do it. You have to go and guard the old general yourself."

Grandpa Xiaobei had stopped in his tracks wanting to save people, but he ran out immediately upon hearing the old general. He was also worried that the old general would be in danger. If the thieves wanted to kill them, it would not be as simple as setting a fire, so the old general's coming out might not be without danger.

Jing Changning saw Erlang and Sanlang who had gone out and then returned, also wanting to save the women, and pushed them out as well: "Go quickly, Grandfather is in danger, Third Uncle is here."

Hearing that their grandfather was in danger, the two were so scared that they quickly turned around and ran back. This incident was originally aimed at their grandfather, and protecting their grandfather was the most important thing. Other people with hands and feet were not that important.

Jing Chunxi took the opportunity to squeeze in and first collected the quilt, pillow and oilcloth on the man's side. Then he turned around and went into the tent where he originally slept, and saw that his third uncle had already gone in.

Jing Changning looked at the women sleeping all over the floor, their hands in postures that seemed to be busy working, and was stunned and at a loss, thinking that he had seen a ghost.

Jing Chunxi didn't have time to care about him. He quickly packed up all the people and things in the tent, even the oilcloth on the floor. In the end, there was nothing in the last two tents, and the tents were empty.

After collecting everything, she turned around and found that her third uncle was gone. This was not good! Her third uncle would not leave her and go away without a reason. She quickly went into the space and saw that the person in the space was still staggering. It should take a long time for him to wake up.

Only my third uncle had his mouth wide open, but at least he didn't faint from fright. He looked here and there, took a few steps this way and then a few steps that way, still a little at a loss, not even knowing whether he should stand or sit.
