Chapter 73: Sixue and the girl set fire and were caught by the yamen runners.
The girl waved her hand and threw the fire starter from where he was standing to an unknown place in the distance.
I saw that when the fire starter was thrown, the flame was very small, and it took a long time for it to slowly grow bigger. The fire burned very vigorously, and the smoke was very sufficient. In a short while, the surroundings were all illuminated.
Sixue and the girl only then saw that it was a house with some piles of grass outside the house, which was why the disease spread so quickly.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice gradually reached the ears of Sixue and the girl.
It was a man's voice. He ran back anxiously and shouted in all directions: "Is there anyone around? Come and put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly!"
Sixue and the girl slowly lay on the roof together and looked at the scene in front of them!
Sixue was lying on the roof and asked the girl: "Girl, you are really strong! We are standing here, but you can throw the fire stick to another place, and that place is quite far away from us."
The girl laughed and said to Sixue: "Sister, you are too kind. I am just too bored at home and my father doesn't allow me to go out, so I practiced it on my own."
After hearing this, Sixue nodded and said: "I see! But you are still great. When can we leave here?"
The girl thought for a while and said: "Well, we have to wait for more people to come here, and then we will follow their footsteps and leave here together. Sister, do you think it's okay?"
Si Xue replied: "That's a good idea, let's wait a little longer."
As soon as Sixue finished speaking, a voice came from behind them.
The man was furious and asked: "You two female thieves, did you set the fire?"
When Sixue and the girl heard this, they looked at each other.
When the man heard that the two did not answer, he angrily said again: "You two female thieves, did you hear what I said? You two are still flirting with each other, why don't you come down to me quickly?"
Si Xue slowly glanced at the place where the yamen runners were. One yamen runner stood in front, followed by two or three yamen runners behind. They all held large swords at their waists. The yamen runners in front were very different from those behind. The yamen runners in front wore blue turbans, while those behind wore gray turbans. Their clothes were also very different.
Si Xue glanced at them and said to the girl in horror: "It turns out that it wasn't Master Zhuang who found us just now! I thought it was Master Zhuang who came to find us. It's good that it wasn't him."
The girl said to Sixue carefully: "Sister, you just came into the city, right?"
Si Xue was about to retort, but she didn't say a word. The girl then said, "Sister, you must have just arrived in the city. If you have lived in the city for a long time, you wouldn't be so surprised to see the yamen runners."
Sixue didn't say anything, but just gave the girl a big thumbs up.
The guard below Sixue and the girl had lost all patience, and angrily said to them: "You two female thieves, why don't you come down quickly? What are you still hesitating about? I'm telling you, you dared to set fire today, you can't escape today, I will definitely catch you back."
The girl also turned to look at them, then turned to Sixue and said, "Sister, how about we go down? If we go down, at least we won't be taken away by Master Zhuang and his men."
Sixue nodded and said to the girl: "Okay, sister, you are right, let's do this!"
The girl then hesitated for a moment and said to Shixue: "Sister, do you have any gauze in your bag? Can you lend it to me? I am very shy. If the yamen runners know my true identity, I will never be able to get married." After the girl said this, her face showed a little more sadness.
Sixue thought for a while, then took out the gauze from the clothes from her bag, tore it off, picked it up and handed it to the girl.
The girl took the gauze and put it on her face, leaving only her eyes and forehead exposed. After putting it on, she said to Shixue: "Sister, thank you for your trouble. Thanks to you, I was able to get married. I will repay you for this kindness one day!"
Sixue's lips gradually rose, and she said to the girl with a smile: "Okay, I'll remember that. We still have to face it calmly. Since we made a mistake, we have to claim it and we can't escape! Okay, let's go down quickly, otherwise the people below will start to complain again."
The girl replied, "Okay."
After Sixue and the girl said this, they immediately took action and climbed down the ladder in a flash.
A yamen runner standing below glanced at Sixue and the girl with a disdainful expression on his face, and said: "You two women are really bold. You actually dared to do something like arson. You are really amazing!"
Sixue and the girl did not speak, but instead looked at each other and glanced at each other secretly.
When the bailiff saw the two people acting so blatantly and staring at each other, he suddenly became angry. He walked between Sixue and the girl and pushed them apart with his hands.
He stood between Sixue and the girl, first turned to Sixue and pointed at her, then said in a earnest manner: "You female thief, you don't do good things but do bad things. Don't you know you can't set fire? What if there is someone living in there? What would you do? What if there is someone living in there? That's a life at stake!"
Sixue did not refute at all, and then the bailiff turned around and said to the girl: "And you, female thief, you put a gauze on your face, are you afraid that I will spread rumors about you everywhere? Do you know that you are not allowed to set fire here? Although this is the west of the city and few people live here, but what if someone lives here, and what if you set fire to their house, how will you be responsible? This is not as simple as a life, but fortunately no one lives here and no one is injured."
The girl did not refute the yamen runner. The yamen runner turned to the side of Sixue and the girl again and shouted: "Although no one lives in it, no one is injured, and no one is killed or injured, but you two set the fire. You must follow me back to the yamen to be punished. This is inevitable. You must be punished for your mistakes. You can't escape it!"
After hearing what the yamen runner said, Sixue slowly walked towards the girl. The yamen runner saw her, pointed his index finger at Sixue, and said angrily: "Hey, what are you doing, you female thief? Why don't you stop right now?"
Si Xue walked to the side of the girl and said to the bailiff: "I didn't intend to do anything. I just wanted to go back with my family to receive the punishment."
