Immortal Devil Transformation

Chapter 15: Watching the River

Heavy rains came to a halt at this time, with accumulation of water between the rooftop tiles and some dry artemisia.

However, what was in the burning bamboo basket was unknown, forming a burning fire that led to beams under the tiles at a terrible speed.

The roof of this cell quickly turned into a burning lantern, and the blazing bright light hid the light of the rising sun from the sky.

A shout rang in a clear street alley.

Lu Mingyi is now in charge of the prison.

Although the appointment of the temporary classical history has not yet been formalized, the original classical Chiang Hong Kong student has been swept out by Lin Xi.

By the time he smelled the fireworks, Lu Mingyi had rushed out of the guard room. As soon as he saw the flame coming from that cell, the coarse man looked pale and knew that the cell could no longer be maintained.

Most of the people who are now holding houses and prisons are guarding dams on the river dam, and there are only three of them on this side of the prison.

Usually, these three persons are sufficient, because prisoners are locked in iron cells, and some repeat offenders are shackled, and if there are important offenders who are brought for long distances and escorted by the Township Guard, the prison population is usually actually only up to guard and accommodate these inmates for food and living, and there are not many inmates in such township prisons, which means that more than twenty persons involved are only held in the Silver Hook Fang case at once, otherwise the total number of inmates held on weekdays will be less than twenty.

The rooftop fire in that cell was already extremely intense, let alone the three of them, and even if there were thirty of them here, it would be very difficult to keep that cell.

The second is Xiaochuan.

This is an old guard in his fifties, who is responsible for the meals of prisoners on weekdays. At this moment, the second one rushes out and sees the fire in the cell, the old guard is directly scared to death.

“Ceramics! Get the keys out! ”

At this time, Lu Mingyi, with a pale face, shouted.

As he screamed, a younger guard ran out.

The young guard was still a little sleepy. When he saw the fire in the cell, he was frightened to sleep. A large circle of keys in his hand fell on the floor with a bang.

“I'll let the prisoners out first, don't run away, keep an eye on the prisoners before they escape! ”

As soon as Lu Mingyi leaned over and picked up the keys that had fallen on the floor, he pulled his legs and ran into the cell.

He hasn't seen any big scenes. I'm afraid he'll panic for a while because of such a sudden change. But at this moment, there's only one thought in his mind: Lord Kobayashi handed him over the cell here, and he's responsible for it. And it is also clear to his mind that even if these prisoners have committed a capital crime, they must have the final judgement of the Criminal Division in order to be executed on time. If only one is burned, Lord Kobayashi will shoulder this responsibility.

“Fire! ”

“Fire! ”

At this point, a fire scream also rang.

Many women and children with buckets and basins came from clear alleys.

The idea of the people in the town was also very simple. When people saw the fire, the first thing they thought about was the fire fighting, they didn't think about whose jurisdiction it was, and until close to the eyes, many people remembered that it was “Lord Kobayashi” 's jurisdiction, the sound of the fire fighting became louder.

“It's Lord Kobayashi's cell! ”

“Help Lord Kobayashi with the fire! ”

After these voices were made, some of the trembling elderly appeared in the alley leading up to here with a vessel dressed in water.

There is no shortage of fire water in the prison.

Just above the empty space of a few cells, there are six rain-bearing copper cylinders for firefighting. Because of the heavy rains, the water in these big copper cylinders can't be filled anymore.

The number of people who arrived at the prison in the first place was also considerable. Several dragons were formed and water was constantly poured into the fire-fighting cells. However, the overwhelming majority of the peasants and sergeants in the town had rushed to the river dam. Most of these women and children were unable to even spill water onto the roofs of the burning cells. It was only for a moment that the rooftop fire in this cell was not contained, but the flames spread to the two adjacent cells.

Jia, a fat businessman with a smile on his face, had reached the height of the town at the moment and watched as the fireworks over the prison became more intense. His habitual hands were rubbed on his sleeves, and he was satisfied to mumble: “This fire is so beautiful. ”

Lu Mingyi escaped from a cell that was about to burn down on a half-faced roof with five prisoners.

He coughed violently for a while and could have been struck by burning fallen wood on one arm, causing a blister, but he did not stop at all and continued to run towards the other burning cell.

Inmates in this cell already know what happened, both from the outside sound and from the flue gas coming from the roof.

As Lu Mingyi ran into the cell along a non-spacious corridor, all the inmates there had slammed the iron cell, shouting in alarm.

However, in a shady cell inside, a bearded prisoner with a huge figure and shackles was not screaming, watching the sparkling fire on the roof began to fall, choked slightly by the flue gas, but he stared closely at Lumingya who had just come in, his eyes nailed to the key in Lumingya's hand and the waist knife hanging on his waist.

Because of the flame of a cell next to it, the temperature of the cell became high, so the fire spread faster, Lu Mingyi's eyes were swollen with smoke and tears, so it was impossible to see the fierce light in the prisoner's eyes.

Just as he opened the door to the prisoner's iron cell, the inmate kicked him in the chest with a heavy foot.

Lu Mingyi fell backwards and fell to the ground. The prisoner had shackles on his feet that prevented him from making his way out, but the whole person pushed forward and pounced on Lu Mingyi's body. The shackles on his hands fell towards Lu Mingyi's head.

One leg stretched out and kicked the prisoner's waist when he could not escape.

This foot, which looked ordinary but contained great power, was directly unconscious on half the prisoner's body and kicked upside down in the air, weighing heavily on the ground.

A yellow-faced man who covered his nose with a wet handkerchief lifted Lu Mingyi up.

The sick man who doesn't know when to enter this fire cell is Zhang Er, at this moment his face is more waxy and his body looks worse than before.

In the smoke behind him, suddenly another skinny woman ran out.

This woman was brought to the fish market by Lin Xie, and was released from prison shortly after her release.

Instead of taking the keys to Lumingyi's hand, she took a piece of wire and ran straight to the front. A gate to the iron cell where the prisoner was being held was opened by her at an extremely fast speed.

……

Donggang Town stopped the river dam.

In a shout of cheer, Jiang smiled exhausted his last strength and struck down the last stump tree that the elderly in the ninth season had to replenish.

After striking out this last hammer, his trembling hands could no longer hold the heavy hammer, his unpractitioner-like ass sat in the mud, and the hammer in his hand was thrown directly in front of him.

A large piece of mud was splashed out by the hammer he threw down, and some of it just splashed into his breathing mouth.

“Boo! Boo! Boo!...”

Jiang Jiao Yidong couldn't help but spit up his saliva, causing a laugh around him.

Jiang smiled with embarrassment.

He raised his head and saw the woman with the scar on her face smiling on his side and rubbing the mud on his face.

But between his eyes, the woman's eyes darkened and turned silently towards the place where the porridge was cooked under the dam.

Jiang Jiaoyi's smile stifled. He couldn't help but stand up. He didn't have too many ideas to ask the woman why she was so unhappy. But that was when he saw a rider rushing from the east harbor township.

This was a sergeant sent by the Township Superintendent's Office, who, after a few questions on the dam, quickly walked up to him and spoke quickly.

Now, although Jiang Qianhe and others still do not understand his identity, they all know that he is a practitioner and a friend of Lin Xi.

“A prison fire? ”

When he heard the words that had been spoken by the sergeant, Jiang Jiaoyi's face changed.

……

In the Yanlai Town Governor's Palace, Heshi Jing, dressed in the Town Superintendent's uniform, stood in the courtyard in front of the Mansion, looking slightly up at the sky.

When the sky was clear and the sun was shining on him, he had a cold smile on his face that was stronger.

The footsteps rang and the business voice of the military school, dressed in bright copper chips, quickly walked in.

“My lord.” After bowing down to Ho Zi, the military academy did not conceal the delight on the face, "said the river dam remained intact. Several villagers after the river dam have been transferred by Lin Xi to the rear high | post. Just got a message. There was a fire in the Donggang Township Prison. ”

“Donggang prison fire?” He Zheng took a step forward, and his voice was not consciously high, “what was the specific situation? ”

“There were reportedly no casualties and no prisoners escaped, but three cells were burned," the voice said. And in order to fortify the dam, he transferred a lot of people from the hunting house and the prison room to the dam. ”

“It's self-inflicted, not viable. ”

He Jingzheng laughed, “Even if only three cells were burned, he could not be blamed. ”

“Commercial voice, you're tired all night, you can get your people out of bed. Let me know, sir. They're coming with me to the dam. ”

……

Lin Xi stood at Yanlai Town to stop the river dam.

“These dams on our Son River are different from those elsewhere. Dams elsewhere are mostly used for water harvesting and irrigation, but these dams in our Son River are all designed to surround the beach with fields and boats. ”

Ninth season old man lying beside him in a bamboo chair covered a thin blanket, looked at the river water swinging by the dam, and explained to Lin Xie with a mute and mutated voice: “These four dams were all ‘big gourd bellies', that is, shallow beaches with particularly wide rivers, deposited a lot of mud sand. At that time, the big boats were extremely touchy and damaged, and some of the big boats now walking on the river could not even walk. At that time, Lord Su had an amazing talent for managing the river's water conservancy. After careful investigation, the four dams were built, surrounding a large number of shallow beaches and accumulating silt dug up in the river. Many good fields were surrounded behind the Yanlai and Donggang dams. As a result, these places have small rivers and depths. Not only are they easy to navigate, but our towns had few good fields, but they are now truly fish and rice harvested. ”

“At that time, the shallow beach in Qinghe was dug deep, so after the destruction of the Qinghe dam, the boat was not too much of a problem, but downstream Jinfang town now had big boats to travel, but it took a lot of fiber to drag it past. Those big businesses spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to clean up, but the fact was not that it didn't clear fast enough, but that there was no dam port, the water was too flat, too easy to form shallow beaches, manpower was just less than the speed of sludge sandstone deposition. ”

“Of these four dams, this swallow came to the rear of the beach to paint the area was the largest, so this side of the good land and population is also more than our Donggang town. If the dam is destroyed. Not only are these good fields gone, but I'm afraid the surface of the river here will have to recover, as it used to be, and the big boat won't make it. ”

Lin Xi listened to these, nodded and took a deep breath. “Old man, based on the situation you are looking at now, even if the sun is clear and no longer rains, this dam is still unsafe? ”

“Unless the water level falls two meters below the river, there is still a great danger that it will collapse at any moment.” Age nods, not a lot of hair back of the head rests on the bamboo chair, “the day… it will rain tomorrow. I'm afraid it will take at least a day or two for the rainwater to stop, and another two or three days for the water level to drop. I'm afraid it'll take at least four or five days. ”
