"Fire, fire!"
Suddenly, a sharp scream erupted from the back of the procession.
Everyone was startled, especially Qi Quanjin, who frowned. After asking Qi Quanli to come help with the handcart, he walked towards the back of the group.
Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he saw billowing smoke emerging from the forest they had just passed.
Could it be... the fire from the village has reached the mountain?
This thought flashed through his mind only to be immediately dismissed by Qi Quanjin.
The village was quite a distance from the foot of the mountain. Even if there were wild grasses in between, Yongping Village had been doing well these past few years, especially this year, with abundant rain, making the wild grasses grow particularly well.
Not to mention using fire, even if oil was poured to ignite it, it would still take a long time to reach the mountain's base.
