The moment the main house, with its three bright and two dark rooms, caught fire, the flames shot skyward.
There wasn't much rain in Lindong during the summer, and the climate was dry. The villain had poured oil, and for a moment, the two large vats of water in the courtyard were not enough to suppress the raging fire.

Du Huarang and Du Yuntao rushed back, followed by the soldiers who were busy extinguishing the fire.
But the water supply was limited. Even though the nearby residents brought water from their homes, it was still barely enough.
