Chapter 5: A Sudden Fire
Chapter 5
After Deng Si'er returned home, he drank several large mouthfuls of white water, and he was still thinking in his mind, how could anyone dare to live in an old house full of dead souls like Uncle Li?
This quick adult's heart is really not ordinary.
"Si'er, where is the adult? Your Uncle Li went to your Uncle Zhen's house at the back of the village today, and if you don't come back in the evening, you go and call the adult and ask someone to come to the house for a meal together. ”
Deng Si'er heard the voice and looked back, and saw that it was his father standing at the door of his room on crutches, so he put down the water glass and said reluctantly:
"Are you embarrassed to invite our family's dinner? The third brother accompanied the third sister-in-law back to his parents' house, as far as the craftsmanship of the eldest brother and the second brother is concerned, where will the people look down on Master Zuo? Forget it. ”
Deng Laohan also felt that what Deng Si'er said made some sense, so he nodded, glanced at Deng Si'er and went out.
"It's really annoying to cut this one by one."
Deng Si'er saw that his father had gone away, shrugged his shoulders, muttered nonchalantly, and fell on the kang to take a nap.
I don't know what the reason is, Deng Si'er fell asleep not long after lying down, and he slept very deeply, and he didn't even know that he was wrapped in a quilt and fell under the kang.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for dinner.
Deng Si'er slept very hot, and there seemed to be some noise in his ears, Deng Si'er woke up in a daze, saw the meal, and felt that his stomach was really hungry, and he couldn't help but start complaining again.
"Really, no one came to call me at lunchtime, and I was really hungry to death when I slept this night."
"How am I on the ground!? What bad luck! ”
Deng Si'er scooped up the quilt and threw it on the bed, and walked out the door, but he didn't take two steps before he realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, he clearly heard the noisy voice outside:
"Hurry up and put out the fire! Come on! ”
"Come on! Hurry up and put out the fire, the people are still inside! ”
On fire?! Deng Si'er was shocked and hurriedly ran outside, but as soon as he arrived at the door, a burned pillar outside the door fell down and blocked the door.
Seeing this, Deng Si'er had a bad heart, so he was ruthless, and kicked the wooden pillar that was still burning with his eyes closed, but fortunately, it was relatively thin and fragile after being burned by the fire, and this time, he was finally able to escape.
The fire in the yard was too big, and the people who came to fight the fire in the village could only stay outside and couldn't rush in, the eldest sister of the Zhang family had sharp eyes, and when she saw Deng Si'er running out of the house, she hurriedly shouted:
"Deng Si'er, your father! Your Daddy! Go save your dad! And your brother! ”
Deng Si'er hurriedly looked towards the main house and the house in the east wing, and this look was simply jaw-dropping!
It turned out that the east wing and the main house had been surrounded by raging fires, and only the hut where he lived did not catch fire because it was in the west wing of the courtyard, separated by a well and a cowshed.
What the hell is going on?!
Deng Si'er was stunned when he saw the raging fire, and only said after a while:
"Daddy! Eldest brother! Second brother! ”
He didn't know what happened to the eldest brother and the second brother, so he could only rush to the main house first, but he didn't expect that he had just rushed to the door, but he saw a picture that he would never forget.
Looking from the door, I could vaguely see his father, eldest brother, and second brother lying on the ground not far from the door, surrounded by fire, and the clothes on the three were burning, and they were about to be engulfed by the fire.
"Daddy! Eldest brother! Second brother! ”
A sharp shout came, and the grief and wail in it made everyone who had to put out the fire outside the door can't help but stop, and their faces are unbearable.
"Why stop! Deng Si'er is still alive! Hurry up and save people! The eldest sister of the Zhang family shouted urgently at this time, and the big guy hurriedly picked up the wooden barrel basin to put out the fire.
"Sister Zhang, this fire can't be saved! It's so big, you shout twice and tell Deng Si'er to come out quickly! ”
"Yes, yes! If you don't come out, you really can't get out! ”
The fire outside the door was in a hurry, Deng Si'er knelt at the door and looked at the burning bodies of his relatives, running out of the door with his eyes open, and not rushing into the house.
The wooden pole used to build a shed in the yard was burned off at this time, and it happened to fall towards Deng Si'er, Sister Zhang has been paying attention to Deng Si'er in this yard, and when she saw it at this time, she hurriedly screamed:
"Deng Si'er, be careful! Get out of the way! ”
Deng Si'er didn't hear it, and just stared blankly at the relatives lying in the house and on fire.
"Wow!"
said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the fallen pillar of fire was about to smash on Deng Si'er's head, and suddenly a figure flashed over, drew his sword and slashed the burning pillar fiercely, squatted down and pulled Deng Si'er and shouted:
"Deng Si'er!"
Deng Si'er looked up at the visitor, his eyes suddenly widened, and he pulled the hem of the visitor's clothes and shouted:
"Quick! Left-sama! Go and save them! I beg you, save my father and my brother! ”
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot looked into the house, only to see that the three corpses inside had been burned beyond recognition, and saw that the fire in the entire farm yard was getting bigger and bigger, and it was no longer controllable, and the consequences of not withdrawing were unpredictable.
And Deng Si'er firmly tugged at the hem of his clothes, insisting on letting him save people, he weighed it, immediately made up his mind, pulled Deng Si'er up and ran out of the yard.
Deng Si'er struggled and was reluctant to leave, but he was thin and light, and he couldn't stand the strength of Zuo's martial arts, so he took Zuo Idiot to the outside of the courtyard gate.
"You look at him, I'll go in!"
Zuo Idiot took Deng Si'er to the gate of the courtyard and saw a familiar face, the eldest sister of the Zhang family. So Zuo Idiot stuffed Deng Si'er in his hand into Sister Zhang's hand, grabbed a bucket of water from a villager who was fighting the fire, poured it on himself, and then rushed in again.
"Hey! Left-sama! Don't go in! Ay! Be careful! ”
Sister Zhang held Deng Si'er with one hand, and hurriedly shouted when she saw that Zuo Idiot was about to rush into the yard again. But he couldn't be dissuaded, and in the blink of an eye, Zuo Idiot rushed into the sea of fire.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the firelight lit up half of the sky in Bai'an Village.
Everyone kept pouring water inside outside the courtyard gate, but everyone knew in their hearts that this fire could not be saved.
Sister Zhang and the villagers stopped Deng Si'er and didn't tell him to rush inside, while waiting anxiously, Zuo Idiot, who had not come out until now.
"Boom!"
The main house was half burned down, and Deng Si'er paused all his movements when he saw it, because he had already understood at this time that there was no hope.
"Lord Zuo! Left-sama! ”
Deng Si'er seemed to have just remembered the idiot Zuo who rushed in to save people for him, and hurriedly shouted, crying while shouting, looking terrible and scary.
Everyone couldn't bear to see it, and looking at the fire, I was afraid that they would have to take another person in.
"It's out! It's out! Deng Si'er! ”
Suddenly, a villager near the door saw a figure and hurriedly shouted in surprise.
Deng Si'er hurriedly pushed away the people around him to look, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Zuo Idiot struggling to carry a charred corpse and come out with flames all over his body.
Zuo Idiot put the charred corpse on the ground, and then sat on the ground coughing and panting for breath, and when he saw Deng Si'er coming, he said in a dumb voice:
"I'm sorry, I can only snatch out your father's body, your two brothers"
