Xu Mei slung her friend's arm over her shoulder and supported her as they rushed outside.
Suddenly, the clothesline hanging not far away had its wire burned through by the raging fire. With a loud 'clang,' the clothesline fell, and the clothes hung on it dropped into the flames, knocking over a barrel of spirits on the ground.
The liquor from the barrel spilled out, winding and spreading in all directions.
According to the script, once the liquor spilled out, the flames would slither like a fire snake along its trail. The fire snake rapidly approached Xu Mei, almost burning her.
Because this scene was quite dangerous, Director Yang Lin intended to use special effects.
Moreover, the spirits in the barrel weren't real—it was tap water.
Everything was well planned.
The barrel toppled, and the tap water spilled out. The fire met the tap water, and immediately—
BOOM!!!
