"Mom! Bright! Wen Qing shouted: "Friends! ”

No one paid any attention to her, and the people of the village, either carrying wooden buckets or plastic basins, carried water from the well and from the ditch, and hurried to the row of houses where her family lived, accompanied by shouts.

"Take a porcelain basin and bring water!"

"Use a fork to turn the straw away!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, get the unburned things out of the way!"

"Don't run around, kids! Get out of the way! ”

"Hurry up and remove the food from the hut! Otherwise, it's all baked! ”

"Oh, my God. Do you want people to live! "Someone started crying.

“……”

The whole storage zài is like boiling eight-treasure porridge, messed up into a pot. No one had time to Wen Qing at all, and Wen Qing looked up at the subtle sparks in the smoke.

Fire? Her house caught fire?

Wen Qing's thoughts flashed, and he hurriedly ran to the door of his house.

"Mom! Mother! Wen Qing didn't run into the yard and began to shout: "Mom! Mother! ”

Billowing smoke billows from the back of the courtyard, almost submerging the hall, and the courtyard is also filled with thin smoke, and the smell is choking. Wen Qing was just about to enter the hall when he swept his eyes and saw that the fence wall had been burned down and the distance between two people was wide.

Wen Qing was shocked: "Mom! Bright! Friends ......"

Before Wen Qing's words fell, Wen Peng suddenly jumped out from outside the fallen fence wall, holding a porcelain basin with a fallen porcelain face, and rushed into the courtyard with a panicked expression.

"Friends!" Wen Qing shouted.

Wen Peng's eyes must have looked at Wen Qing in surprise, without any nonsense, and said directly: "Eldest sister, there is a fire, from Aunt Wang's house at the head of the village to our house, our family's wheat straw stacks and fence walls are burning!" ”

Wen Qing was shocked: "What about Mom and Liangliang?" Are you hurt? ”

"Nope. We're all fighting fires! The captain and the village chief are here! It's all in the backyard! ”

I heard that people are fine, and a big stone hanging on Wen Qing's heart fell to the ground, as long as it is okay, it is okay, and people are fine.

"Eldest sister, hurry up, otherwise all the wheat straw stacks in our house will be burned out." Wen Peng said, his steps were fast, he went to the well to fetch water, and fetched a basin of water, and the water surface swayed and spilled out of the basin, but Wen Peng ignored it, and ran through the fence wall that had fallen to the ground, and ran to the backyard.

Wen Qing hurriedly entered the kitchen, looked for a long time and didn't find a suitable water holding tool, and finally took two relatively large gourd scoops, filled two gourd scoops of water, and then stepped over the fence wall that fell to the ground and ran to the backyard.

The rows of wheat straw stacks in the backyard were burned, black, and there was still thick black smoke and gray smoke, not only the wheat straw stacks were damaged, but the rows of houses lined up with Wen Qing's house, the mud walls were also burned black, and the strictest was Aunt Wang's house, a thatched hut was half burned down, and the beds and cabinets in the thatched hut were seen in the sky, and there were still people pouring water on it at this time.

Aunt Wang was sitting on the ground, patting her thighs and crying: "My God, what can I do about this?" I'm going to die, I'm going to die, there's no living door, there's no living door! ”

Other neighbors, carrying various water containers, stood in front of their wheat straw stacks and watched with trepidation.

The village chief of Shuiwan Village also came, commanding more than a dozen big men to use wooden forks to divert the wheat straw straw of **, so as not to hide sparks in it and catch fire again.

Wen Qing saw Yao Shiling and Wen Liang at a glance, and she turned around and walked towards Yao Shiling.

"Mom." Wen Qing shouted.

Yao Shiling turned her head, looked at the gourd scoop in her hand, and asked, "When did you come back?" ”

"You just came back, are you all right?"

"It's fine." Yao Shiling looked sad, she was fine, but the wheat straw and corn stalks of the year were burned out, Yao Shiling said: "The leakage of your house has not been repaired, and the fence wall has not been repaired." ”

Wen Qing didn't care about that: "Mom, people are fine, it's okay if people are fine." ”

Yao Shiling nodded reluctantly.

As soon as Wen Qing's voice fell, he suddenly heard Aunt Wang crying: "It's the fire lit by a few dead little cubs, who burned all the wheat straw and wheat in my house, what will our family eat in the future!" ”

"Which cubs?" Aunt Wang's husband asked loudly, about to catch the murderer.

"Qiangqiang, Dadao, Weiwei, and friends!" Aunt Wang cried and said.

Yao Shiling was taken aback.

Wen Qing and Wen Liang looked at Wen Peng together.

Wen Peng's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "No, I don't, I haven't been in the village, I, me and Dadao went to catch grasshoppers in the thorn bushes, and then we went to the woods to catch it, and we picked up the shell, and we just came back and saw that it was on fire, I don't believe you asked Dadao!" ”

Yao Shiling lowered her face coldly: "Wen Peng! Let's be honest! ”

"I'm telling the truth!" Wen Peng insisted, his aggrieved eyes were red: "I didn't set the fire, why did I set it on fire?" ”

Wen Qing touched Wen Peng's head: "Mom, I believe in Peng Peng." ”

Wen Peng's tears that were about to well-go just now turned back.

"What's the use of what you believe?" Yao Shiling whispered: "There is no male labor in our family, do you see if Aunt Wang will say Qiangqiang, big knife, Weiwei, they must say that it was set on fire by friends." ”

"I didn't!" Wen Peng said again.

Yao Shiling was anxious.

Wen Liang clasped his hands.

Wen Qing turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Aunt Wang staring at Wen Peng, her eyes were extremely vicious.

The parents of Qiangqiang, Dadao, and Weiwei hurriedly said what their children were doing at noon, but in short, they didn't set fire.

Yao Shiling was silent.

Wen Qing answered: "Peng Peng has never been in the village, and the fire is not set by Peng Peng. ”

"Isn't he who he is? After lunch, they all slept. As far as your family is money-conscious, especially Wen Liang and Wen Peng, who doesn't sleep at noon every day, you know that you are running all over the road to pick up shells, chop firewood and sell for money, who else is there besides him? ! Aunt Wang cried tears and snot, and Wen Peng became the murderer of her whole family.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wen Liang rushed forward.

Wen Qing pulled him over, blocked him with his body, and signaled him not to be impulsive, the Wen family would definitely not be able to beat Aunt Wang's family in a group fight.

Wen Qingping said calmly: "Aunt Wang, is it wrong to have a heavy heart for money?" We make money cleanly, and we never do anything for nothing. You said it was Wen Peng who set the fire, but what about the evidence? The implication is that Aunt Wang is slandering.

Aunt Wang was ashamed, got up with a bone, and asked, "You don't do anything wrong?" Your deceitful deeds are higher than anyone else's. Didn't your second uncle, who had been in prison, help you blackmail a rich man? Don't you hold on to people every day? ”

Wen Qing was not angry, and tried his best to stop Wen Liang.

"Aunt Wang, you just talk about things." Yao Shiling couldn't stand what others said about Wen Qing, and trembled angrily: "Why did Wen Qing slander people?" Did she accept the bride price over there, or did she marry someone over there? Where did you hear that Wen Qing was going to marry a rich man, Aunt Wang, you have to talk about evidence, our family is poor, but we don't stick to people, I don't know that Wen Qing is going to marry a rich man, how do you know? ”

Wen Qing looked at Yao Shiling, her mother always looked plain, in her previous life, she always thought that her mother didn't love her, but now when she sees her defending herself so much, she realizes her love for herself.

Yao Shiling said that Aunt Wang was speechless, it is true, no one in the Wen family has ever publicly admitted the marriage of Wen Qing and Ji Yanjun, who spread this news?

Everyone looked at Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang finished speaking, and then pointed to Yao Shiling and said, "This fire was put by Wen Peng, and there is no one else except him!" ”

None of the neighbors on the side were silent, and they all knew that Aunt Wang splashed up, one to three, and it was also very horizontal in Shuiwan Village. Now the wheat straw in her house has been burned, and the wheat in the hut has also been burned.

In this era, the food depends on the sky, and the public grain is so heavy, and the grain produced in the field every year is tightened to eat the next harvest, who can afford to pay Aunt Wang's wheat and wheat straw.

Wen Qing asked with a cold face: "Aunt Wang, what about the evidence?" Wen Qing looked at the people on the side and asked: "Who saw Wen Peng set the fire, stand up, there is a reason, how to come, how to come, no reason, don't want to bully people!" ”

Everyone hasn't seen such a domineering Wen Qing for a long time, and they can't help but be a little stunned, you must know that Wen Qing was not afraid of anyone before, her second uncle was imprisoned because he was almost killed, Wen Qing has been following him, and his temperament is also very strong.

If Aunt Wang is a horizontal person, Wen Qing is a person who is not afraid of death.

Horizontal and not afraid of death, who is better than whom?

None of the neighbors opened their mouths to help Aunt Wang? Wen Qing's family is right, they definitely can't help Aunt Wang, this is a matter of conscience. Help Wenqing? Aunt Wang is a scoundrel, and they can't be entangled.

Aunt Wang swept around the people, and saw that the man in her family did not scold herself, and felt that she was doing the right thing. And other people's families have male laborers, the Wen family only has Wen Liang, Wen Liang is still young, Wen Qing is a little older, in the end, it is the girl's family, what is the matter, anyway, Wen Qing's second uncle is dead, she can't let her family's food burn in vain, pointed at Wen Peng and said loudly: "No evidence, it's him!" ”

Wen Peng died of grievance, he pursed his lips, looked at the big knife on the side, and then whispered: "Big knife, big knife, you testify to me, I didn't set the fire, the two of us have been together, we caught fire when we came back after picking up the shell, didn't we?" Broadsword, isn't it? ”

"Yes......" Dadao just spoke.

Dadao's mother reached out and covered Dadao's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, do you want to eat in the future?" "Otherwise, Aunt Wang asked the two families to pay together, and her family's food would not be enough to eat.

The big knife couldn't break free, and Wen Peng's black eyes suddenly dimmed, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

Wen Qing didn't miss Wen Peng's eyes, she reached out and touched his little head in distress, and said, "It's okay, there is an eldest sister here." ”

Wen Peng lowered his head with red eyes and muttered: "Eldest sister, I didn't set the fire, I didn't set the fire." ”

Wen Liang clenched his fists, eager to hit someone immediately.

Yao Shiling lowered her head and did not speak.
