Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 116 Arson
Gu Xinfang then understood that if Guanzhong and the southern region had high-yield corn, the climate there would be good, and two crops of corn could be grown in a year. It will be even worse.

She didn't ask about the development value of corn, and directly changed the topic.

The three of them first went to buy some Lizhou specialties, dried Bailongjiang whitebait, pear candy made from Shijia pears, as well as sand ginseng, Gastrodia elata and Eucommia ulmoides.

When Chen Huiyin saw Eucommia, she thought of Eucommia gum, but unfortunately she didn't know how to refine it, otherwise she could extract Eucommia gum from the Eucommia tree, make tires, replace the current wheels, and save the pain of bumps when traveling far away .

But this idea just flashed by, and Chen Huiyin quickly put it aside.

Then Gu Xinfang took Chen Huiyin and Tang Yaoling to buy the snacks that were said to be the best in Lizhou. After buying the snacks, they went to prepare dry food.

For dry food, biscuits are undoubtedly the most suitable. Even if they are cold, they taste crispy and fragrant, unlike steamed buns, which are bound hard when they are cold.

So they bought a lot of pretzels and prepared dry food. Naturally, they bought something for dinner. Gu Xinfang took them to buy a roast chicken that was said to be very delicious, and bought eight meat buns and five vegetarian dishes. Bags, the bamboo tubes I brought with me filled two tubes of sweet bean curd, so I rented a mule cart and hurried back to the pier.

When boarding the ship, the ship owner was on the deck, and Chen Huiyin said with a smile: "Boss Ding, we bought a lot of food, so we don't need to prepare our dinner tonight."

The owner of the ship was worried, but he didn't show his face, and replied with a smile on his face: "Okay, I understand."

Mu Yang and Wei Chen were surprised when they saw the three of them coming back so quickly. Mu Yang asked, "Why did you come back so soon? It's not even an hour. You can actually play for a while longer."

Tang Yaoling put the food on the table, and said: "It's nothing interesting, let's learn about the cloth and grain market in Lizhou, and bought some special products, and then Brother Gu led us to buy them, which are said to be very, very delicious." The grilled chicken, meat buns and sweet bean curd, of course these things must be eaten while they are hot, so I came back in a hurry to share the food with you.”

On the other side, Chen Huiyin had already put the bought specialties and dry food into the package, while Gu Xinfang went to the kitchen to ask for five empty bowls and five spoons and returned to the cabin.

Everyone was talking while eating, mainly because Mu Yang and Wei Chen asked about the situation in Lizhou, and Chen Huiyin answered, and before they knew it, thirteen steamed buns, a roast chicken and sweet bean curd were all eaten.

Of course, as girls, Chen Huiyin and Gu Xinfang's food intake is slightly smaller. They both ate one vegetable bun and one meat bun, while the three boys each had two meat buns, one vegetable bun, and roast chicken. Also eat the most.

After filling their stomachs, the five of them went to the deck to eat and drink. When the purchases on the merchant ship came back, it was dark and it was time to dock, and the merchant ship left the dock.

After eating, the five people returned to the cabin, chatted for a while, and then asked the kitchen for hot water to wash and rest.

Before going to bed, Chen Huiyin paid a sum of points and asked the system to help keep an eye on the movement of the entire ship, and wake her up if something went wrong, and she herself did not dare to fall asleep.

So when the system beeped the alarm at night, she immediately woke up and asked the system, "What's going on outside?"

The system said: "The owner of the ship lit a lot of incense at the entrance of the aisle. Now the cigarettes are seeping into your cabin. Take the antidote quickly."

After hearing this, Chen Huiyin hurriedly took out the small porcelain bottle containing the antidote from the space, poured a pill of the antidote and took it. Not long after, the system reported to her: "Tang Yaoling, who was on duty at night, was recruited and was unconscious. At the same time, a small boat Come closer, there are still wooden barrels on board, and through scanning, it is found that the inside is kerosene."

Chen Huiyin, who was about to get up, didn't move at all. She closed her eyes, her consciousness sank into the system, and checked the real-time screen recording of the system. She saw that the boat the system said had already docked next to a merchant ship. The wooden barrels on the boat were moved to the deck, and then the people on the boat were taken to the boat.

Through their short conversation, Chen Huiyin knew that the other party was from the Gu family, and the purpose this time was to take Gu Xinfang's life.

Those people poured some kerosene on various positions of the merchant ship, and then began to withdraw to the small boat. Seeing that they did not check, Chen Huiyin sat up quickly, took out the antidote and fed it to Gu Xinfang, then took her own clothes and went to the boat. Just after putting on the cover, Gu Xinfang woke up.

While pulling Gu Xinfang up, she gave her the clothes and quickly explained the situation.

Then he gave an antidote to Gu Xindao: "Sister Gu, take the antidote to find Mu Yang, feed him the antidote, and then you go to the cabin of the ship's boss and crew. There is a shower in their room. The bathtubs used, whether we can live in the future, just point to those few bathtubs."

Although Gu Xinfang was flustered at first, she has calmed down now. She quickly put on clothes and nodded to express her understanding.

Chen Huiyin took the package and put it on her back, and stepped out of the cabin first. Looking out from the aisle, she could see the flames spreading into the aisle. She reminded Gu Xinfang, not daring to delay any longer, and quickly went to the first floor from the other side.

Tang Yaoling and Wei Chen were in a small tea room next to the warehouse where the goods were stored. Chen Huiyin fed the two of them the antidote before turning around and entering the warehouse. Enter the space, then turn around and go back to the small tea room, Tang Yaoling and Wei Chen will also wake up.

Chen Huiyin stuffed the spears of the two into their arms, and while pulling them up, explained: "The boat is in the water, and the fire is very strong. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Tang Yaoling and Wei Chen, who were still a little confused at first, came to their senses completely awake. They grabbed the spears in their hands. Seeing that sister Qiao was carrying three bows and arrows, they hurriedly took their respective bows and arrows and carried them on their backs.

The ship has two floors, the uppermost floor is the cabin rented to the passengers, and the lower floor is the residence of the ship owner and crew, the kitchen and the warehouse for the guests to store goods, so the three of them come out of the small tea room, Just met Mu Yang and Gu Xinfang who came down from the second floor.

There was no need for Chen Huiyin to say anything, the five of them tacitly rushed into the cabin of the ship owner and the crew, and dragged out the tub from inside. , Throw them all into the tub.

At this time, the fire on the second floor had reached the first floor. Tang Yaoling saw that the fire at the entrance of the passage was not big, dragging the bathtub, and was about to call everyone to rush out, but was stopped by Chen Huiyin, and then she explained in a low voice: " Who knows if those people have gone far, we have to determine their location first."
