Chapter 314 Do you really dare to set fire to Devil’s Valley?

In fact, Qiao Ran was overly worried. Such a big fire burned from all sides to the middle, and those mosquitoes couldn't escape at all.

There was fire all around, and they couldn't break out of the encirclement. As soon as they flew over the forest, they were burned by the heat wave and fell back into the fire.

Every few dozen steps away on the isolation zone stood a villager holding a tree branch and standing ready. Everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance at all and guarded the isolation zone conscientiously to prevent any sparks from falling outside the isolation zone.

Qiao Ran felt relieved. Fortunately, those who liked to cheat, cheat, and hide, or were selfish and uncooperative, had been eliminated from the team on the way to escape.

The remaining people in Qingshui Village are all kind and honest people.

This is why Qiao Ran is willing to take them to open up a new home, and plans to take them to get rich together in the future.

It is better to have a group of kind and united folks than to be surrounded by unfamiliar strangers or even a group of jackals, tigers and leopards.

Qiao Ran stood on the mountainside and watched for a while, then returned to the camp with peace of mind. She still had many things to do!

Reclaiming wasteland is also a very hard task. Only with good tools can you achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Qiao Ran returned to the tent and used two little rabbits caught from the space to kill a few little guys who wanted to pester her to tell stories.

Then she found a stack of white paper, took out the "charcoal pencil" she forged with a pencil, and wrote and drew on the paper.

She wanted to draw some modern and useful farm tools, find an opportunity to go to the city, and hand them over to the blacksmith shop in the city to build them.

Although the control of iron tools in the Dai Viet Dynasty was very strict, each family was allowed to make one or two agricultural tools as long as they were not making weapons such as knives and swords.

There are more than 60 households in Qingshui Village. Each household builds two pieces, which means there are more than farm tools.

She drew a dozen pieces of paper in a row, and drew all the iron farm tools that needed to be used.

While Qiao Ran was drawing pictures quietly in her tent, she didn't know that the fire in Devil's Valley had caused an uproar throughout the capital and suburbs.

On the streets, in the markets, in the courtyards, at the windows of restaurants... the people looked at the billowing smoke in the direction of Devil's Valley and pointed in shock.

"Look! Why is there so much smoke over there? Is it a burning mountain?"

"That's Devil's Valley over there, right? How could the mountain be set on fire for no reason?"

"Oh, you don't know yet? I heard that a large group of refugees fled here some time ago and were arranged by the government to open up wasteland and farm in Devil's Valley."

"What? Going to Devil's Valley to open up wasteland? Oh my God! Isn't this going to die? So where is Devil's Valley where people can go?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! I heard that it was Master Tongpan who arranged for people to go there. It must have been about ten days now, right? I didn't expect those people to be still alive."

"Alas! I'm afraid there aren't many left alive, right? How pitiful! Could it be that they contracted a strange disease in Devil's Valley and are worse off than dead, so why not just set themselves on fire?"

"Hey, who knows? In the past, three or two people went into Devil's Valley together and all got sick. Now there are hundreds of people in the whole village. If one person gets sick, no one in the village can escape. What a sin, there are more people in Devil's Valley Hundreds of innocent souls!"

"These officials really don't regard the lives of our people as human lives! I heard that several groups of refugees came later, but the number was not large. They were all assigned to barren villages in remote counties and towns. None of them were properly accommodated.”

"No matter how barren the place is, it is better than being thrown into the Devil's Valley and dying! Oh, these refugees are so pitiful! They fled all the way and went through all kinds of hardships to finally get here, but I didn't expect that there was no one under the emperor's feet. Their piece of land was simply sent to Devil's Valley to die in such a daze."

"Oh, I can't go to Devil's Valley anymore. I don't even dare to go outside the valley. It's too scary!"

"This fire won't burn all the mountains that stretch for dozens of miles in the suburbs, right? This fire is too scary!"

"Who knows? Who dares to put out the fire? Not to mention there is a miasma, who knows if we happen to run into those refugees who are infected with the disease. If they are infected with the strange disease, there is no cure, so we can only wait. died."

"Amitabha! My Buddha is merciful and will bless those people to enter the Land of Ultimate Bliss, so they don't have to suffer anymore!"

……

The people talked a lot about everything.

When Jia Tongpan resettled the group of refugees at the city gate, many people going in and out of the city saw it, so the news spread. People said that the government officials were disregarding human life and had to resettle hundreds of refugees despite knowing that Devil Valley was harmful to people. Go to Devil's Valley and let hundreds of people lose their lives to strange diseases and raging fires.

Naturally, the government office also received the news. Jia Tongpan stood in the backyard of the government office, looking at the thick smoke in the direction of Devil's Valley. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a moment.

He had also heard the rumors from the people outside. He didn't know whether it was true what the people said. Those mud-legged refugees were infected with a strange disease and were worse than dead and set themselves on fire, or whether those people were setting fire to the mountains to open up wasteland.

He remembered that the stinky girl had signed a contract with him, guaranteeing that they would be at their disposal within a ten-mile radius of Devil's Valley, and his heart was pounding.

Is it possible that those people really dared to set fire to Devil's Valley?

How audacious!

Aren't they afraid of setting fire to the nearby mountains and forests, and eventually getting out of hand and burning that large area of ​​mountains and forests, and burning themselves to death in them?

"Damn it! These reckless things! They will really cause trouble for me!"

Jia Tongpian cursed in a low voice, anxious and angry.

Those untouchable mud-legged people are dead as well, and it wasn't him who killed them anyway.

However, if the mountain fire gets out of control and burns all those mountains, the loss is not something that his little general can bear!

"Niu Sangui, take a few people and go to Devil's Valley to see what's going on with the mountain fires? Are they set by the refugees? See if the fires are big. It's not too late to organize people to put out the fires. Go quickly! "

Jia Tongpan quickly called a government official and asked him to take a few people to Devil's Valley to check the situation.

Niu Sangui took the order and left, leaving Jia Tongpuan pacing in shock and fear.

Butler Zhou and Shopkeeper Chen were also shocked when they saw the fire in the direction of Devil's Valley.

Miss Qiao has not been to the city for several days. Butler Zhou thought that the Chinese New Year will be coming in a few days, so he decided to give Miss Qiao some New Year's pork, chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, rice and noodles, etc., and take a look at Miss Qiao and the others. Are you okay?

Shopkeeper Chen had the same idea. At the same time, he also wanted to go and see the situation in Devil's Valley in person. He also wanted to say good things to Miss Qiao and give her a red envelope as a reward for providing hot peppers to the restaurant.

Then see if she can provide some more chili peppers and the like, and buy a few more recipes to make her restaurant’s business more prosperous during the Chinese New Year and earn more money for her master.
