After rebirth, I became a national teacher

The people and soldiers who were in charge of driving the waterwheels were all very surprised:

"Is it really destroyed?"

"It's really extinguished! No need to fetch water!"

Everyone was immediately overjoyed.

But soon someone realized something was wrong and called out to the bailiff:

"How could the fire be put out so quickly?"

You know, when they left, the fire was raging and several streets were engulfed in flames.

The dozens of truckloads of water that were pumped back earlier were simply not usable.

They haven’t even pulled back the water yet, how could the fire be put out suddenly?

The yamen runner slapped his forehead and said with a smile:

"It's my fault. I was so happy and confused that I didn't explain clearly. The fire was put out by the gods! The prefect asked me to inform everyone to transport the water back so that everyone can go back and rest!"

After saying this, he whipped his horse whip and ran happily out of the city to inform others.

The people who were left driving the water truck were still confused:

"What happened to the fire being put out by the gods?"

"Yeah, why is this kid so weird?"

"You'll know when you go back and take a look!"

Half an hour later, when everyone drove back to the area in East City that was originally engulfed in fire, they saw charred and collapsed houses everywhere, but no sparks could be seen.

Moreover, as soon as I approached the area, I could smell a particularly obvious smell of moisture, and the ground was covered with water, as if there had just been a heavy rain.

"The fire is actually out!"

"Someone just told us that the fire was put out by the gods. What's going on?"

Seeing their confused looks, the yamen runners who were still on the scene doing post-disaster resettlement kindly helped them answer their questions.

It turned out that an hour ago, all the officials, soldiers, and civilians were in deep despair.

The fire started after nightfall yesterday, and because there was not enough water nearby, the fire quickly spread to half of the street.

By the time people finally gathered more than a dozen buckets of water, it was still not enough to put out the fierce fire.

Even more unfortunately, a strong wind blew soon after, and the fire spread directly to two nearby streets.

By daybreak, three entire streets had been burned.

After receiving the report, the prefect organized the people and yamen runners to fetch water outside the city overnight.

However, the outside of the city was too far away, and by the time they brought back the first batch of water, the fire had spread to five streets.

What’s even more despairing is that the wind started to blow again.

The fire was already big, and when the wind blew, many sparks and flames were blown to the two nearby streets.

As the fire was about to spread to seven streets, people who were desperately pouring water to put out the fire noticed a strange phenomenon in the distance and shouted:

"Look everyone, there are dark clouds coming!"

Not long after he finished speaking, the dark clouds actually floated directly into the sky in front of them, instantly blocking the scorching sun and causing the light to dim instantly.

"What a fast cloud!"

The people who were struggling to put out the fire at the edge of the sea of ​​fire were all stunned.

"Why did it get dark so suddenly?"

Looking up at the sky, I saw a thick layer of dark clouds.

People have never been so happy to see dark clouds.

"It's a dark cloud!"

"It's going to rain! Now the fire can be saved!"

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a cold voice that rang out like waves in the fire sea for several streets:

"Linzhou prefect, obey your orders!"

The prefect of Linzhou, who was personally at the head of the fire directing the fire-fighting, suddenly felt his hair stand on end and looked around.

Then the voice continued:

"I am the Venerable Du'e, and I have come to help you put out the fire."

"I am about to send down a heavy rainstorm. You must organize everyone to evacuate 50 meters away within a moment!"

Although these words were only said once, for some reason, the prefect of Linzhou was very afraid and subconsciously obeyed the words. He immediately sent a runner on horseback to deliver the message.

Because of the prefect's order, and also because the sound was not yelling at the top of one's lungs, it was still heard by everyone. It was truly magical.
