Wang Peng was startled for a moment, then his face broke into an excited smile for the first time.
"Alrighty!"
Having said that, he bounced his way toward the pickup truck.

An ordinary type of fire alarm, besides burning fiercely, was nothing special. The only problem was that the road wasn't very good, and it was far from the main road. The water hoses carried on the vehicle were limited to 80 meters, which meant they could only lay one main line with two hoses to maintain the pressure and fight a war of attrition.
However, Fang Huai saw an elderly couple sitting nearby, sighing in dismay, while a group of people were scolding them for their carelessness. He felt it was important to clarify the cause of the fire to prevent any problems with assigning responsibilities later.
He approached the group of villagers and quickly ascertained the situation.
