Chapter 254: A Fire in the Strawberry Field

...

Pregnant women had to use the toilet often! Whenever Xiao Lingyu got up at night, she would pass through the computer and stop to look at the screen. The video showed the surveillance of the field.

The video quality was good.

When she saw a certain spot in the video, Xiao Lingyu shivered and woke up immediately.

She found her phone and made a call. As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Lingyu said anxiously, "Uncle Chengbang, quick, someone is setting a fire on Xiao Chengcai's land!"

When Xiao Chengbang heard that, he immediately replied, "Alright, we'll rush over now." The moment he said that the flames ignited. He said, "Not good. The fire has already started."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Together with the three other guards, they grabbed the fire extinguishing tools and quickly ran to the place where the fire was.

Xiao Lingyu was extremely anxious. She ran to her parent's room. She knocked on the door fiercely as she said, "Dad, Mom, someone is setting fire to the strawberry field."

Hearing this, Mother Xiao and Father Xiao opened the door and asked in shock, "What? Is someone setting fire to the field? Who is so horrid?"

Father Xiao said anxiously, "No matter what, we have to go there now. No, we need to get the villagers' help to put out the fire." Thankfully, the field was close to a river. Xiao Lingyu also had the foresight to do a series of fire prevention and firefighting measures. But they needed people to operate.

"Yes, I'll go inform everyone." Mother Xiao turned to Xiao Lingyu and instructed, "Yu 'Er, you stay at home and are not allowed to go out, understand?"

Xiao Lingyu nodded.

Mother Xiao took out a loudspeaker and shouted loudly, "There's a fire! Please help! There's a fire!"

The people who were sleeping soundly immediately woke up when they heard about the fire. They asked the people beside them. "Did you hear that?"

"That's right. It sounds like Qiuying."

"Let's go and take a look. Bring a bucket!"

"Yeah, I'll go too."

"Make sure the elderly and children stay at home. It's dangerous with too many people!"

"Okay!"

Everyone received the news and came out of their homes with fire extinguishing tools. They asked, "Qiuying, Where's the fire?"

Chen Qiuying said, "The fire is at the strawberry field."

The villagers ran to Tai Ping Field. It usually took about ten minutes to walk from the village to the Tai Ping Field. But this time, they ran the journey in three minutes.

When they arrived, the fire was already burning.

The fire started from Xiao Chengcai's field and quickly spread in all directions.

Since there was kerosene as an accelerant, the fire started quickly.

Even though Xiao Chengbang and the other three guards used fire extinguishers, they could not put out the fire in time.

Under the high heat, the plastic shed paper quickly melted. The fire quickly spread and started to burn everything.

The Gong Family also received the news. Old Master Gong quickly ordered everyone in the family to help extinguish the fire.

"Quick, go and help!" Old Master Gong urged, "Tianhao, quick, there are still a few fire extinguishers in the house. Each of you will take one and bring it with you."

The others picked up the fire extinguishers and ran to the place where the fire broke out.

After everyone left, Old Master Gong paced around the room a few times. He was really worried about Xiao Lingyu, so he brought his flashlight and went to the Xiao residence to take a look.

When he arrived at the Xiao residence and saw that the lights were bright, Old Master Gong shouted, "Lingyu, Lingyu..."

However, no one responded.

This made him extremely anxious as he muttered to himself, "She wouldn't have run off to save the fire, right? She is pregnant! What should I do? No, I need to find her!" He left the Xiao Family and headed towards the strawberry field.

On the way, someone saw him and asked in shock, "Old Master, are you going to help with the fire at your age?"

Old Master Gong said anxiously, "Quick, get someone to look for Lingyu. That child might have gone to put out the fire as well. It's too dangerous for her."

"What?" Someone was shocked, "This child has always been very steady in her actions. Why is she acting so rash now? Old Master, you don't need to come along. You should go back to wait for the news." After all, he was aged. If he went over, he would only be a hindrance.

Old Master Gong was also very self-aware. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go back now. Please look after the girl."

"Old Master, of course, we will."

...

Gong Tianhao followed Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang to the place where the fire broke out. However, his eyes were sharp, and he saw two figures in the distance. One of them looked very much like Xiao Lingyu.

The two of them seemed to be arguing about something.

Gong Tianhao handed the fire extinguisher to Xiao Wang and said, "That figure seems to be Xiao Lingyu. I'll go and take a look."

When Xiao Wang saw it, he exclaimed, "That does look like Xiao Lingyu. Wait, the other person is pushing her!"

Gong Tianhao did not care about anything else.. He ran over like the wind.
