Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 255 After putting out the fire (one more)

The raging fire burned for more than ten minutes before being extinguished by everyone. There were no casualties, and only property was lost.

The reason the fire was put out so quickly.

First, there are many people, each person has a bucket of water, and hundreds of villagers in the village participated in the firefighting operation.

Second, the fire-fighting measures are in place. Many fire extinguishers are stocked in the greenhouse, and several cisterns have been dug. When the fire comes, the engine is used to pump water out.

The third is, of course, the geographical environment. There was no strong wind at night, it was very calm, and the lawn was next to a small river, so there was plenty of water.

When the last trace of smoke was completely annihilated by a bucket of water, everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads and said with a smile, "The fire is finally out."

"Yeah, the fire is finally out. Otherwise, if it continues to burn like this, the entire land must be destroyed, and the loss will be huge."

"However, looking at this situation, it's not a small loss. You must know that the strawberries are sold at a high price of 200 yuan. Even if you lose 50 catties, that's tens of thousands of yuan."

"But looking at this situation, the loss should be more than 100 catties." Some villagers said regretfully, "Several greenhouses were burned, and some strawberries were also scorched."

"Hey, by the way, how did the fire start?" Some villagers asked in confusion, "Looking at the source of the fire, it doesn't look like it started from a strawberry field, it seems to be that field."

Someone pointed out the field where the weeds burned to ashes, "Look, this burning greenhouse seems to be all around this field."

"You say so. It's true."

"The land isn't enclosed, so it shouldn't be Xiao Lingyu's land. Whose land is that?"

"I remember that our entire Taicaopao land was not rented to Xiao Lingyu by three or four families."

"Well, looking at that piece of land, it seems to be Xiao Chengcai's."

"Ah, it's Xiao Chengcai's. He doesn't grow anything on his land. Now in the summer, the grass is tall and green, so it won't burn for no reason at all, right?"

"Could it be that the four vigilantes smoked cigarettes, but the cigarette butts were not extinguished, but they started to burn, right? On the news on TV, there will be a fire in a certain mountain, and the reason for the fire is that there are lumberjacks and smokers. The big fire caused by the cigarette but not extinguished."

Someone who knew how to immediately reject it said, "The fire started because there was no one in the mountains, so it couldn't be found in time. When the fire started and the smoke was billowing, it would be too late to put out the fire.

Besides, the root cause of the fire in the mountains is caused by dry grass and trees, most of which occur in the winter.

But look here, in the big summer, the wasteland, the weeds that rarely dry up, most of them are raw grasses, and a cigarette butt that has not been extinguished is difficult to ignite.

Taking a step back, even if it ignites, the fire will not be so fast, so fast, it should have been extinguished by Chengbang and the others.

Now where is the need to dispatch the whole village to come to put out the fire. "

"What do you mean by that? Did someone set the fire on purpose?"

"Yes, there is only one explanation."

Hearing this, someone was immediately shocked and said loudly, "Someone deliberately set fire? Who is so bad, who came here to set fire?"

Xiao's father, Xiao Chengbang, and a few people checked around and determined that the fire would not recur and would not burn again, so they were relieved a little.

But looking at the side of the greenhouses, the plastic oil paper covering the sheds has been completely burned, leaving the steel skeleton there.

At a glance, the strawberries in the greenhouse have become pitch black or browned, and at first glance they are burnt out.

Xiao's mother is very distressed.

She walked around and estimated that the lost strawberries probably weighed hundreds of kilograms. This was the best result after everyone worked hard to put out the fire.

Xiao's mother sighed lightly and didn't care about her distress. She grabbed her body and said to everyone, "Thank you everyone for coming to put out the fire. In the middle of the night, I have to trouble everyone. I really didn't go there on purpose."

Someone said, "Qiuying, why are you being polite. If you can put out such a big fire, you must put it out. It's hard to believe that everyone can really watch your strawberries and burn them all." "

"That's right, Qiuying, when you shout, the people at home will definitely come to put out the fire."

"Qiuying, don't be polite. This fire looks quite big. If you don't burn your strawberries, it's time to burn everyone's land. There are so many trees planted by the river. I can't imagine it."

Indeed, the city gate caught fire, and it affected Chiyu!

No one can guarantee that if this fire is allowed to go on, it will not burn their own things.

Xiao's mother said with a smile, "That's ok, if I thank you, I won't say more. Today, I will send two catties of strawberries to anyone who has participated in firefighting today."

"Ah, Qiuying, this... this thing is too expensive. Don't you want it?"

As soon as I heard the strawberry, I thought of its price.

This firefighting saved two catties of strawberries home.

"Besides, you don't have enough strawberries to sell, how can you give it away?" someone persuaded.

"Rather than sending strawberries, Qiuying, you might as well cook a meal for everyone. Your cooking skills are recognized as good. The smell of cooking in your home every day can make us drool."

Xiao's mother answered cheerfully, "That's fine. I'll cook a meal for everyone to eat after this work is over."

"Okay, that's for sure!" Someone shouted immediately.

"It's settled!" Xiao's mother was very proud.

Later, she said, "Everyone is tired, go back and continue to rest."

After that, everyone left one after another.

Just leave behind Xiao Zhengyang and his wife, Xiao Mingyang and his wife, Xiao Chengbang and his wife, and three other night watchmen.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but said angrily at Xiao Chengbang, "Xiao Chengbang, how on earth did you keep watch? Didn't you see such a big fire?"

The four vigilantes lowered their heads slightly, feeling very guilty.

The four vigilantes did not guard the strawberry field, yet such a big fire broke out.

Xiao Chengbang smoked a cigarette and said, "Someone set the fire. Every time the four of us vigil at night, every fifteen minutes, half an hour, we will check around.

Before the fire started, we had just returned from the inspection, and then we received a call from Ling Yu, saying that someone was setting the fire. As soon as we heard it, we immediately rushed to put out the fire, but the place where the fire started and around the greenhouse were filled with kerosene, and the fire started quickly. Even if we put out the fire quickly, the fire spread quickly. "

When Zhou Yan heard this, she immediately said in surprise, "Did someone set the fire on purpose? Who is this person, and how can he have such a bad heart?"

Xiao Chengbang shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet."

Then, he turned to look at Xiao Zhengyang and his wife and said, "I'm really sorry, Zhengyang, Qiuying, it's our negligence."

Henry Zhang shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. Even though my family Yu'er has taken so many fire prevention measures, it is still possible for those who have the heart to succeed. However, it is also fortunate that it was discovered quickly, otherwise, this piece of I don't know how much the strawberries will be damaged."

The four vigilantes felt even more guilty when they heard Henry Zhang didn't blame them.

They all knew that Xiao Lingyu arranged a vigil for four people at the same time, in order to prevent someone from coming to steal strawberries, and at the same time, it was also to prevent those jealous and jealous people from coming to destroy and set fire.

However, they were still negligent and let the bad guy succeed.

Henry Zhang and his wife looked at the four of them, not knowing what to say.

Henry Zhang patted Xiao Chengbang on the shoulder and said, "Tonight, I have to trouble you to continue guarding, so we will go back first. These things will be cleaned up tomorrow." Henry Zhang pointed to the burned areas.

The four of Xiao Chengbang nodded and said, "Well, you are also tired, go back to rest first."

On the way back, Fourth Aunt Xiao said very angrily, "Who the hell has a new or old hatred with us, and he came over in the middle of the night to set fire?"

Xiao's mother shook her head and said, "I don't know. However, it should be found out soon."

Since she wanted to sell strawberries, her daughter has installed surveillance cameras in and around the strawberry fields.

It is precisely because of the installation of surveillance that it is possible to detect arson in time.

"The person who set the fire is really hateful." Aunt Xiao said angrily, "Could his conscience not be disturbed? His heart is really bad."

Several other people's faces were also very angry and angry, and they thought that they must find out who this person is.
