Wu Xiaoliang looked back at the terrifying scene just now, still palpitating, thinking about where the fire source came from.

Although the uncle is a good smoker, he is still in the middle of the ground with a sickle to cut the residual wheat stalks that the head machine has not been able to touch, and he is not present.

Could it be that a child accidentally lit the wheat stalks spread out in the field while playing, or someone deliberately set a fire?

As soon as Wu Xiaojun said this, Wu Xiaoliang fell into his spirit, stared at him suspiciously, and asked, "Then what?" ”

Wu Xiaojun said depressedly, "Big brother, I always feel that this time it was a deliberate arson and wanted to burn this wheat." Coupled with my father's poor health, I can't stand this sudden incident, and I am likely to fall down for a while. In this way, I am not in the mood to harvest wheat in the field, let all the wheat be scorched in the ground, or sprout after a rainstorm, and destroy all ten acres of wheat. The intentions are so poisonous, this is to kill the three of us. ”

Wu Xiaoliang listened and felt that Wu Xiaojun's analysis was very reasonable, if it was purely an accident caused by a child playing carelessly, if someone really deliberately set the fire, who could it be? As far as the current situation of the uncle and aunt is concerned, it is impossible for the people in the village to attack him at this time, unless he is silly and stupid, but there is no such person in the village.

Ruling out this possibility, the world's suspicion is the greatest, first, for so many years, the two of them have been at odds with their uncles and aunts, and their hearts are too heavy, and the world is worried about it; Second, some time ago, the world had a big upset when marrying a daughter-in-law, and she couldn't get over her face, she had no face to see, and the world was angry; Third, in the morning, the army beat the world violently and suffered a big loss, and there was nowhere to spread this breath, so he set this fire in a hurry.

Wu Xiaoliang thought so, and felt that it was unlikely, no matter how angry and annoyed the world was, his grandson would not go to the point of setting fire to his father, let go of this is the brainchild of the uncle and aunt, it is easy to be known by people with such a simple matter, and it is very easy to investigate, and when the time comes, even if there are a hundred mouths, they will not be able to tell, but they will be in an embarrassing situation of passivity and isolation, and it is impossible for the world not to take this into account.

Wu Xiaoliang couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, nervous, and his mood became more and more heavy, and he slowly got up and said, "Xiaojun, you think too much and it's too complicated, I think this time is purely an accident." But I also remind you by the way, the wheat has been burned and burned, and it can't be recovered, don't tell your uncle and aunt about this idea just now, don't be too careless to investigate the cause of this fire, some things are too clear but not good, I have other things, go first! ”

Wu Xiaojun understood the meaning of Wu Xiaoliang's words, he might have thought of it with himself, reminding himself not to be hot-headed, because of a small loss of someone else's fool, nodded lightly, "Big brother, I understand, you are busy!" ”

Wu Pingshun was squatting on the ground and bowing his head to cut wheat, when he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting to him, "Pingshun, go back and take a look, your yard is on fire." ”

"Aunt Sandun, what did you say?"

Wu Pingshun stood up suddenly and asked with a calm face.

"As my family Sannizi just said, many people are fighting fires, and the two of them are also present."

The reason why Aunt Sandun called Xiaojun and his family, although they have not officially married, Bai Lingyan also lived here for nearly a month last year, and then Wu Xiaojun left his parents and went to Pingxi, with a formal job, he will definitely not come back, it doesn't matter whether the two are officially married or not, no one has delved into this matter, so they naturally regard the two as a family of two.

Wu Pingshun's face suddenly turned cold, worried that the wheat would be burned completely, so he didn't say a word, he picked up the sickle and ran back in a hurry.

When I arrived at the field, the fire had been extinguished, the people had dispersed, and the wheat stalks of the white flowers before I left had become full of devastation at this time, and the ashes left by the burning of most of the wheat stalks in the wheat fields were spread all over the ground, and the wet wheat stalks that had not been burned out were still smoking, and there were traces of water flowing everywhere on the sidelines, and the mood was particularly dull and tangled.

Wu Pingshun hunched his back, panting heavily, his legs trembling a little, standing on the sidelines in a daze, pouting his beard and unable to say a word.

Wu Xiaojun looked at his father, who was already old, and suddenly became very haggard, very pitiful and helpless, and said in a heavy voice, "Dad is back, don't be sad, fortunately, this fire was put out in time, and it did not expand and spread to the surroundings." ”

Wu Pingshun looked at Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan with dull eyes, what a decent child three hours ago, now he has become disheveled, tired, mixed with sweat, muddy water in the ditch and wheat straw ash, very distressed and sad, sad tears can't help but flow out of the corners of his eyes, and said tremblingly, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters can't be avoided, the fire has been extinguished, fortunately, the loss is not too big, just burn it." I'll rest here for a while, and you two can go back." ”

Although Wu Xiaojun highly suspected that Wu Xiaofu's family had done it, he was extremely angry in his heart, looking at his old father's helpless and disappointed expression, thinking about Wu Xiaoliang's words just now, worried that he would not be able to bear this fact psychologically, he opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say it, and said to Bai Lingyan in a gloomy voice, "Dad is back, let's go!" ”

Xiaojunniang had already made lunch, and after waiting for a long time and not seeing the three of them come back, she packed her bag and went out to the field with a pot of water, and when she saw the two of them coming back with a very wolf face, she asked distressedly, "Xiaojun, girl, what's wrong with you two, didn't your father come back with you?" ”

Bai Lingyan said weakly, "Auntie, the wheat in our field is on fire, and many people in the village put out it for nearly half an hour to extinguish it. ”

When Xiao Junniang heard this, her head buzzed and she was stunned, and she felt that her legs were weak in front of her, she stood unsteadily, shook her body for a while, and her hands and water bottle fell to the ground, and she fell to pieces.

Seeing their mother like this, Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan hurriedly stepped forward to hold her so that she would not fall, gently carried her into the hall and laid her flat on the bed, and shouted anxiously, "Mother, wake up!" Mother, wake up! ――”

"Auntie, wake up! Auntie, wake up! ――”

After about four or five minutes, Xiao Junniang slowly opened her eyes and muttered, "The wheat is burned, the wheat is burned, God, why don't you open your eyes, pity and pity our two old men and women!" , why don't you pity my family's army! ”

Hearing this, Bai Lingyan's heart was sour, goosebumps rose all over her body, and she woke up sweating profusely when she saw the military lady of the effect, forgetting the fatigue of her whole body and her dirty clothes, she sat quietly beside her, picked up the pu fan with tears in her eyes and gently fanned her fan.

Wu Xiaojun saw his mother wake up, went to the kitchen to scoop a bowl of cold boiled water and brought it over, Bai Lingyan reached out to take it, and whispered, "I won't burn your pot, I will take care of my aunt, you go and order a simple meal!" ”

"Well, what's the situation calling me!"

"Okay, there you go!"

Bai Lingyan carefully fed Xiao Junniang some water, and soon she felt much better, sat up gently, and said softly, "Girl, auntie, I'm fine, you go change your clothes and rest!" I don't know what our wheat burns? ”

"Auntie, the uncle's stall burned a little more than half, but fortunately it didn't affect the neighbors."

"Do you know what's the fire?"

"I don't know! It's all right now! ”

"Girl, seeing that you just came back and didn't even have to rest for a while, you were tired and wronged! Auntie really can't help it. ”

"Auntie, it's okay, I came back with Xiaojun to work, I'm not afraid of being tired, I've been planting crops at home, and I don't have to do less crop work, don't worry, I can bear it."

Bai Lingyan talked to Xiao Junniang for a while, and saw that she was fine, so she returned to the next hut with a basin of water, took off her clothes, wiped the clothes she brought back with a towel, washed the dirty clothes and put them in the courtyard to dry.

Wu Xiaojun looked in the kitchen, and the steamed buns were freshly steamed by his mother in the morning before they were hard, so he fried a bowl of green vegetables and boiled eight salted duck eggs. The three of them ate some briefly, and then brought Wu Pingshun a steamed bun, two salted duck eggs and some cold boiled water to the field.

At this time, Wu Pingshun had tearfully swept the ashes in the field to the side of the road, spread out the wheat stalks that were piled together and were wet with water, and looked at the wheat stalks in the field in frustration and smoked.

Wu Xiaojun knew that his father was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to mention the fire to him again, so he briefly said a few words to him, "Dad, you and my mother are waiting in the field to take a break, and Lingyan and I will go to the field to pull wheat stalks!" ”

Wu Pingshun and Xiaojun Niang said tiredly, "The wheat stalks are short now, you haven't installed such a car, and if you don't pretend well, you will fall on the road. Let's go together! ”

Bai Lingyan couldn't bear to say, "Uncle, aunt, we can do it, don't go with you!" ”

"Let's go."

The four of them came to the land, Wu Pingshun showed the two of them to load a car, felt sweating profusely, the whole body was weak, and some were powerless, and after Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan pulled a cart of wheat straw away, they sat on the ground in a daze.

Xiao Junniang was reluctant to be idle, endured the discomfort in her heart, and used a basket to pull the remaining surplus wheat along Myron, and kept muttering, "I don't know which bastard did it, set fire to the scene in broad daylight, and burned a handful of old bones before calming down." ”

Wu Pingshun was annoyed and messy, and he was impatient when he heard Xiaojun Niang's muttering, and said angrily, "Don't you think it's messy enough, it's annoying to fight with the world for the wheat shearing machine in the morning, and it's enough to be disturbed by being put on fire by someone in a daze after the wheat shearing, you still have to be blind, and let people not live, you can stop for a while!" ”

Xiaojun Niang immediately stopped the basket in her hand, and asked with a sad face, "What are you talking about, Xiaojun is fighting with the world?" Why didn't they tell me when they went back, who didn't hurt them? ”

Wu Pingshun said worriedly, "It's so far away, it's over in a while, how do I know!" Looks like Xiaojun must be fine. ”

Xiaojun Niang looked into the distance, and said to herself, "Xiaojun and the world are fighting, it must be the world looking for trouble with Xiaojun, otherwise Xiaojun will not provoke him, since Xiaojun is fine, that is, there is something in the world, that child is a little stunned, in my opinion, the wheat in the field is the fire he set on fire!" ”

Wu Ping started a fire smoothly, got up and looked at Xiao Junniang and asked, "What are you talking about, it was the fire set by the world, he really turned against the sky, I will go to him now to settle the account, and I will die in front of that turtle bastard!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he turned his head behind his back and left.
