72. Wildfires
The fire fold was stuffed into Tie Zhu's hand, and Tie Zhu immediately threw it on the ground like picking up a hot potato, put his hands behind his back, and shook his head, "I don't dare." β
After the second egg was burned last time, he was almost beaten, and he was not allowed to touch the fire at home again, otherwise he would have to eat the board. No matter how ignorant he is, Tie Zhu knows that his father and mother are really angry.
"What a coward." Tie Niu snorted, wrinkled his nose disdainfully, and beckoned, "Everyone gather around, let's not play with cowards." β
He called Tiezhu to light the fire just to see that he didn't forget to take their loot, who knew that he would be swept away by Tiezhu in front of him, which made him, the boss, how happy.
The other children all smiled and laughed around them, and turned around to laugh at Tiezhu's timidity. When surrounding, he unceremoniously hit the iron pillar with his ass, which was intended to exclude the iron pillar.
"If you don't play with me, forget it." Tie Zhu was also so angry that he slapped his ass and stood up, "Isn't it just a chicken, my fifth uncle often hunts pheasants for us to eat." My sister also has a shuttlecock made of pheasant tails, which is beautiful. He bent down to pick up the sweet potatoes and put them in the basket to take them away, which was the result of his hard work all the way, so he naturally had to take them away and not give them to these villains.
"It's okay to go, leave the sweet potatoes behind." Caiyazi's eyes were sharp, and he immediately got up and grabbed the other side of the handle of the iron pillar basket.
"It's mine, you let it go." With a basket on his arm, Tie Zhu stretched out his other hand to break the fingers of the vegetable teeth.
"We stole it, why did you take it all? Put it down! Caiyazi pushed hard in front of him again, and mobilized other children to come and grab it.
In the end, I can't compete with a few big children, and I still drag my arm to the pain. Tie Zhu simply threw the basket away, so angry that tears came out. "I'm not going to play with you anymore, and I won't eat anything delicious with you. You're all bad people. Then he ran back.
When there was a child, he shrunk his neck in fear, "He won't run back to complain." β
"He dares!" Tie Niu compared his fists, "If he dares to sue, we will beat him." β
"Don't talk about it, hurry up and make a fire." The child who was anxious was urging over there, "There are so many of us together, as long as there is no accident, my father and mother will not beat us." β
Hmph, Tie Niu snorted lightly. always felt that half of his boss's face had been cut off by someone, which was originally what he should say next. Holding the fire fold in his hand, under the gaze of a dozen pairs of expectant eyes, Tie Niu blew lightly.
There was an explosion, and a half-dried tree ten paces away from them burst into flames. The branches that had been struck by the lightning carried flames, and then quickly ignited the rotting leaves on the ground. Today they came to Liujia Village next door, which is sunny, sunny, and the rotten leaves on the surface are dry. Soon several surrounding trees were set on fire.
Tie Niu was stunned and turned his head to look at the fire fold in his hand that had not yet been blown up, and he couldn't react for a moment to what was going on. But with a breath of blowing, how could it still set the tree on fire?
Someone finally reacted, and then there was a burst of chickens and dogs:
"It's on fireβ"
"Runβ"
"Wait for meβ" Someone cried in fear.
Follow the mountain wind. Soon there was a faint smell of smoke, and Tie Zhu stopped a little puzzled, looking back for some reason. Wondering what's going on? Could it be that there is such a strong smell of smoke on those branches? Is it wet?
Thinking about it and feeling angry, they don't play with him anymore. What else does he care about so much? Tie Zhu's angry pouts still couldn't help but prick up his ears, and when he heard it, in addition to the thin sound of the wind, there seemed to be a lot of children's shouts, which seemed to be really lively. As if he was scratching seven or eight kittens in his heart, Tie Zhu still decided to go back and take a sneak peek, although they excluded him, but if they came together, they would go together, and he was also a righteous person.
As soon as he turned around and walked about fifty meters, he ran into Caiyazi, who was pulling the basket with him before.
"You"
As soon as Tie Zhu spoke, he was pushed aside by Caiyazi, and was thrown away with hatred: "Don't get in the way." β
Caught off guard, he took a few steps back, and tripped over a stone, and the palm of the iron pillar propped up on the ground was scratched, and it hurt so much that tears came out.
But Caiyazi has already run away.
Tie Zhu slapped off the grass clippings on his hands, sighed into his hands, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands, and was about to stand up. But as soon as he stood up and took a step forward, a heart-piercing pain came up from his ankle, and he fell down again.
Then there was the sound of crackling footsteps.
"Why are you still here?" At last a child found the iron pillar, stopped and turned his head and said, "Run, it's on fire." β
As soon as the "I" iron pillar raised his hand, the child also ran away.
When he came back to his senses, Tie Zhu somehow felt a hot back, as if there was a fire behind him, and he was about to be roasted.
Jade threw a bundle of dry wood on her shoulder to the ground, squinted at the crackling woods, and turned down in some exasperation.
"Why are you here?" Jade said coldly.
The voice was too cold, Tie Zhu shivered involuntarily, and shrank back in fright, "Dumb woman, I can't run." While talking, he subconsciously touched his ankles, but he didn't forget the fact that the dumb woman couldn't speak.
"What a nuisance!" Jade subconsciously complained, grabbed the back collar of the iron pillar with one hand, and shouted, "Hold on to your clothes." β
Tie Zhu didn't understand a little, but the next moment he had been lifted into the air by the jade, and he suddenly screamed in fright.
"Shut up!" Jade felt that her patience in this life had been exhausted by this little doll, but fortunately she had no children, otherwise she would have been annoyed to death for the rest of her life. Squinting at the stiff body, pursing his lips, his hands tightly grasping his clothes, and his face turned blue with fright, Jade couldn't help but say again: "Close your eyes." β
Tie Zhu, who had long been frightened, didn't hear what Jade said at all, and only looked at the branches that were flying under his feet. Fortunately, he soon reached the foot of the mountain, and Jade put down the iron pillar and patted him on the back, "It's here." β
"Wow-" This beat finally woke up the iron pillar, and he immediately cried out of his throat.
Jade's eyebrows were furrowed, and she flew away from it on tiptoe.
The smoke on the top of the mountain is billging, even in the daytime it looks very scary, and the bronze bell under the old locust tree in the middle of Lijiatun that has not sounded for a long time also makes an urgent sound, startling many people who are sleeping.
"I'm not mistaken, why is the mountain burning?"
"Lizheng, look!"
"I remember when I was only five or six years old, there was also a wildfire, and after the wildfire, the body of a snake spirit as thick as a bath bucket was found."
He Shi looked at the billowing black smoke and muttered, "What do I say, if something goes wrong, it must be a demon, it's not good." (To be continued......)
