The guard opened the warehouse door.
The dim oil lamp lit up a corner of the warehouse.
"You go over there and take a look. I'll go this way."
"Mm-hmm."
The two of them went off in different directions.
The people hiding in the dark suddenly made a noise behind the guard when he came near.
Just as the guard turned around, he heard a cracking sound. The oil lamp in his hand suddenly broke, and the lamp oil and fiery sparks instantly scattered outwards onto the bundles of cloth. A fire started burning at once.
The guard got a shock and quickly tried to put out the fire. However, the rolls of cloth were burning too quickly, and he could not put the fire out fast enough.
"It's on fire. Quick! Get people to help put out the fire!"
The other guard heard the shouting and rushed over. When he saw the fire, he turned around and ran out at once.
