After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 241: If you don't leave, I'll burn your house down

When Zhu Jiangjiang and Pei Ji arrived at Xiaoji Village, ashes had already begun to float in the sky above Xiaoji Village, and the flames of the fire had changed from billowing smoke to a mountain of flames.

But no one came out from Xiaoji Village.

The road into the village is a small mountain road that has been trampled out. It can pass a bullock cart, but not the width of a carriage. It winds and twists along the foot of the mountain.

Weeds are overgrown on both sides of the path, and many earth pits are covered by weeds. If you are not careful, you will fall into the pits.

There is even the possibility of rolling down the hill.

Zhu Jiangjiang and Pei Ji rode into the village one after the other, the red glow of the setting sun behind them, and the firelight on the top of the mountain in front of them set off each other, shrouding Xiaoji Village in a red halo.

It's all like this, and the people in Xiaoji Village still refuse to leave.

"Pack up your things quickly, get some clothes and food, and nothing else!" shouted a soldier guarding the village.

"How can you say no, just don't want it, it's all our wealth and life."

The villagers, as always, sang against the soldiers.

It's nothing more than they are slow to pack their things, and they want to bring all the things in the house, and some people are even binding the firewood they cut today!

When Zhu Jiangjiang entered the village, seeing such a leisurely scene, he was almost driven crazy by these ignorant villagers.

"Why are you dawdling, the fire is going to burn down the mountain soon, why don't you leave!"

She got off her horse and rushed into the village angrily. Her eyes were red with anxiety, and she shouted at several nearby farmers.

When the people in Xiaoji Village heard a woman urging them, they all went out curiously to have a look.

In this small village of escape from the world, people are dressed like ancient hunters. Most of their bodies are covered with grass curtains and animal fur. They can't find decent clothes in the village.

Zhu Jiangjiang's plan for Xiaohuang Village has not yet been carried out. She has never been here, and few people here go out.

The two sides do not know each other.

However, seeing such a beautiful girl with delicate skin and tender flesh, all men, women and children in the village stared at her curiously, forgetting the fact that they were packing up their things and were about to flee.

"It turns out that the girl's family can look so white, it's so beautiful."

"That's the gauze skirt, it's light and fluffy, not like our straw curtains..." The women in the village still didn't forget to compare the difference between their clothes and Zhu Jiangjiang's clothes.

Hearing this, Zhu Jiangjiang became even more annoyed.

"I'll give you half a stick of incense. Take your clothes and valuables and leave the village. After half a stick of incense, if there are still people at home, I'll burn your house down!"

"Hiss—" the two soldiers guarding the village gasped.

Their general's wife is really ruthless!

Seeing this, Pei Ji was quite satisfied.

Now, this is the only way to force everyone in the village to leave, right?

"What? You want to burn our house? Who are you, why do you do this!"

"That is, if you dare to burn it, we will sue you at the Yamen!"

The villagers protested.

I saw Zhu Jiangjiang curled his lips into a cold smile, "Just try it and see if I dare to burn it!"

"Also, this is my husband-in-law. When he is a first-rank general, I won't be afraid even if you go to Lijing to sue him!" She pointed at Pei Ji who was on the side, and it was rare to put on such an arrogant look.

"Hey, everyone, come and see, the officials bully the common people, how can we live like this..."

A woman in the village started the process of making trouble, trying to put pressure on Zhu Jiangjiang.

But she seems to have forgotten that there is no one here except the two of them, so who is she crying for?

Zhu Jiangjiang glanced at the top of the mountain, and the fire was much bigger than before.

A gust of evening wind blew, and the fire began to reverse, rushing towards the surrounding mountains.

It hasn't rained in recent days, the fallen leaves on the mountain will be lit up soon, and the smoke will rise, and the fire will not be far away.

"Half incense stick time, start counting now, otherwise..."

Zhu Jiangjiang took out a fire letter from his bosom, pulled off the lid, blew, looked at the villagers gloomily, and said, "I really know how to light your house!"

The houses in Xiaoji Village all contain straw, and they will burn at one point.

The roof is paved with thatch, and straw is added to the mud walls to increase the toughness of the soil, so once the fire reaches Xiaoji Village, it will be devastating.

The villagers of Xiaoji Village saw that the woman who had just arrived was so difficult to mess with, and there was no one standing by them to talk.

In desperation, he could only keep his own house first.

"Let's clean up and leave now, don't order."

Zhu Jiangjiang's threat is much more useful than drawing a knife.

Sure enough, within the time it took for half a stick of incense to arrive, everyone had already taken their families with them, carried all their possessions on their backs, reluctantly, and started walking to the small road outside the village step by step.

At this time, the fire on the top of the mountain had spread from one mountain to the two sides. The fire involved three mountains, and there was no sign of rain in the sky.

If these three mountains are completely burned, and the fourth mountain is reached, then Xiaoji Village will be directly shrouded in a circle of fire.

"Hurry up, don't you see that the fire has burned down?!"

In just half a stick of incense, the fire spread to the other two mountains. If there was no way to put out the fire, it would really burn for days and nights just like what the original owner experienced in his previous life.

After the villagers of Xiaoji Village came out of the village, they stopped on the small road outside, watching their houses in the big mountain pit and the fire gradually spreading on the top of the mountain, with mixed emotions.

"The fire should be out soon, right?"

"It shouldn't burn our village, God won't do such a cruel thing."

The people in Xiaoji Village are still wishful thinking, trying to keep their village by praying to God.

That's what they are, doing nothing but thinking that the fire will go out by itself.

Wu Jinping and others moved a little slower, and rushed to Xiaoji Village after sunset.

At the end of October, the sky gradually darkened after sunset, but Xiaoji Village, which was full of fire, was still the same as before sunset, and the red glow reflected the entire mountain village.

"Come here, invite the villagers here!"

Wu Jinping saw the villagers stagnant on the way into the village, so he was sullen and asked to drive them away.

Looking at the fire that spread across the mountain, he sighed and walked towards the village.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Xiaoji Village, Wu Jinping and Xu You ran into Zhu Jiangjiang and Pei Ji who came out of the village.

"How, is there anyone else in the village?"

"We went door to door, and the villagers have all left the village, ahem..."

As soon as Zhu Jiangjiang opened her mouth to speak, ashes floated into her mouth. She couldn't hold back and started coughing.

"Miss, are you okay?" Pei Ji glanced at her worriedly, and then said, "It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go!"

The fire had already reached halfway up the mountain, and the temperature of the big pit in Xiaoji Village was gradually rising. Several people started sweating after standing for a while.

The sound of birds and beasts fleeing in the mountains can be clearly heard around.
