Chapter VI

"Daddy!"

Deng Si'er didn't care to look at Zuo Idiot, and immediately cried and pounced on his father Deng Laohan, looking very miserable.

The people in the village looked at this scene and quietly turned their heads, in the end, it was the villagers, and they had been together for so many years, who knows, how can the acquaintances who greet each other during the day be so decent, and the people are gone?

Who would have thought that they had just come back from the field and rushed home for dinner, why did this Deng family compound catch fire for no reason?

Deng Si'er knelt in front of his father's charred corpse and cried bitterly, the more he cried, the quieter his voice became, and later he could only see his shoulders shrugging, and he couldn't hear the slightest sound.

Seeing that she was worried, Sister Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and patted Deng Si'er's shoulder, and said comfortingly:

"Deng Si'er, your father and your brother are dead, you have to hold on at this time!"

"Yes, yes, whatever, I have to wait for your third brother and sister-in-law to come back."

"yes, how do you say it's so good, and it catches fire?"

"Who's to say it isn't! The eldest and second eldest of the Deng family used to be at home, and they didn't work in the field, alas, it's really miserable."

Hearing this, Zuo Idiot immediately frowned, lowered his head thoughtfully.

When the other villagers saw Sister Zhang speak, they also stepped forward to persuade her.

Fortunately, the third child of the Deng family and his daughter-in-law were not here, which was really a blessing in misfortune, and finally did not make the Deng family die.

It wasn't until midnight that the fire in the Deng family's compound was gradually extinguished, and the Deng family's farm yard had been burned beyond recognition.

The Deng family, who had a solid family background in the past, did not expect that overnight, it would become like this.

When the villagers of Bai'an Village saw it, they were all embarrassed.

The fire had been extinguished, and the villagers saw that Deng Si'er's mood had stabilized, and there should be nothing to do, so they all shook their heads and sighed, and slowly dispersed.

When Sister Zhang saw Deng Si'er's appearance, she didn't want to leave, so she went home and took out a clean quilt for Deng Si'er and put it on the side, which could be covered when it was cold at night.

"Thank you, Sister Zhang."

Deng Si'er looked at the quilt, raised his head and said to Sister Zhang gratefully.

Sister Zhang looked at Deng Si'er's dirty face, and actually shed tears, and persuaded in a low voice:

"Folks in my hometown, thank you. Deng Si'er, the people have gone, you can't do anything anymore! Alas, you have to mourn, wait for your third brother to come back."

Deng Si'er nodded, then lowered his head again, staring at his father's charred corpse in a daze.

The eldest sister of the Zhang family inevitably felt uncomfortable when she saw it, but she was helpless, so she could only sigh and go home.

Seeing that the villagers had all gone, Zuo Idiot also stood up and walked to Deng Si'er's side, his throat was choked with smoke, and his voice was still hoarse and said:

"The deceased is gone, and you mourn and change."

Deng Si'er straightened up, knelt down, turned around and bowed to Zuo, and said:

"Thank you Lord Zuo for saving me, if it weren't for you, even my father's body would be gone. This kindness, Deng Si'er is unforgettable. ”

Zuo Idiot didn't know what to say at this time, so he patted Deng Si'er's shoulder comfortingly like Sister Zhang before.

After Deng Si'er thanked Zuo Idiot, he returned to his previous appearance, staring at his father's charred body in a daze, his eyes unblinking, and his body knelt there stiffly.

Ever since he saw Deng Si'er, he felt that Deng Si'er was a lively person, clever and energetic. Who would have thought that the two had only known each other for a day, and Deng Si'er would suffer such a tragic change?

At the moment, Zuo Idiot also felt that the world was impermanent, but it was a coincidence, he went to the county government of Hei'an Town in the afternoon, asked about some matters, bought a horse, and when he returned to Bai'an Village, the Deng family's compound was already in flames, and it was too late to rescue.

Fortunately, I still caught up to save Deng Si'er. If I had come back earlier, I guess

Seeing Deng Si'er kneeling there motionless, guarding his father's corpse, Zuo Idiot couldn't bear it, and when he looked at it again, it was already midnight, and it was not a few hours before dawn, so he didn't leave.

He sat and rested under a large nearby tree, and by this time the people around him had dispersed, and it was already quiet.

From time to time, the unburned fire made a "beep" sound, and the two waited quietly for the dawn.

As soon as the sky was hazy, Deng Si'er woke up in a panic from the dream, and saw that he was not guarding next to his father's corpse, but resting against the tree under a quilt, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that Deng Si'er was frightened and grieved excessively, and he couldn't support it and fainted, so Zuo Idiot helped Deng Si'er under the big tree and covered him with a quilt.

Deng Si'er saw that his father's body had been covered with a piece of linen, he walked over and knelt down and kowtowed twice, then got up and looked around for Zuo Idiot.

"Lord Zuo? Left-sama? ”

Zuo Idiot was rummaging in Deng Si'er's house, and there was actually nothing in the ruins, but Zuo Idiot inexplicably felt that this fire came at a coincidence.

Zuo Idiot heard someone calling him outside, and knew that Deng Si'er should have woken up, so he walked out.

Deng Si'er saw Zuo Idiot come out of the ruins, and felt a little relieved.

"You're awake." Zuo Idiot patted the ash on his body and asked.

Deng Si'er nodded, and also spoke:

"Lord Zuo, thank you yesterday."

Zuo Idiot also nodded, and said:

"What are you going to do from here?"

Deng Si'er sighed and said with a sad expression:

"When my third brother comes back, I will bury my father, eldest brother, and second brother first, and then talk about it."

After a night, Deng Si'er was like a child who had suddenly grown up, his expression and tone were no longer as abnormal as yesterday, but when he thought of his future plans, he inevitably felt confused.

"By the way, I found it in your house."

As he spoke, Zuo Idiot handed over a small iron box that he found in his hand to Deng Si'er.

Deng Si'er took a look, it turned out to be something he had carried with him since he was a child, and he couldn't help but carefully wipe it with his hands.

"What is this?"

Seeing Deng Si'er being so careful, Zuo Idiot asked curiously.

"I was born and left at my father's door, and it was the only thing I had on me at the time."

Zuo Idiot was surprised when he heard this, it turned out that Deng Si'er was not Deng Laohan's biological son, but he was picked up!

Zuo Idiot looked at Deng Si'er, remembering that he went to the county government of Hei'an Town yesterday afternoon to inquire, and the county government said that those corpses had been buried in the soil for at least thirteen years before they would decay into their current appearance.

And Deng Si'er, who is only fifteen years old this year, coincides with the time when the corpse decomposed, and Deng Si'er is not from Bai'an Village, Zuo Idiot can be sure at the moment that Deng Si'er's life experience must not be simple.

and the phalanx found yesterday, Zuo Idiot went to the county government to ask, and through comparison, it turned out to be none of the seventeen corpses, then, who would this phalanx be?

A phalanx that does not belong to any corpse bone, the age of Deng Si'er, who is so cruel as to bury the corpse after killing seventeen people in a row? plus Deng Si'er's life experience, there is

Zuo Idiot turned to look at the ruins in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart:

Also, this ridiculously coincidental fire
