Chapter 162: The Aftermath

"Ah, the old man is on fire, get up and save him!" ,

"Oh my god, why is it so hot!" ,

"Hurry up, hurry up and put out the fire, the fire is getting bigger and bigger!" ……

The neighbor who was woken up by the sound of the summer solstice knocking on the door was still a little unclear about the situation, and there were some whispers, but when he saw the skyrocketing fire on the Tianjia rice field and heard the crackling sound, he didn't say anything, and quickly took out his own tools to fetch water in the Houcun River. At this time, it is futile to say anything, and it is important to put out fires.

Xia Zhi saw that the people who were woken up by her consciously joined the ranks of firefighting, and felt that their own people were small and small, so it was better to continue to knock on the door and call people to help, and the movement of her family had already woken up the sleeping villagers nearby, but some people who were a little far away from Tian's house still had no movement.

Xia Zhi Zhi said, at this time it was the farmer's gate, who was busy all day, pointed to the night to rest, the next day to continue to work in the field, because of these reasons, the average person sleeps relatively dead, not any big movement can not wake up, Xia Solstice helpless, if it is usual, who will be bored in the middle of the night to knock on the door one by one.

But there is no way, Xia Solstice can only touch the dark, one by one, fortunately, there is no need for Xia Solstice to explain anything, and when people wake up and see the fire in front of Tian's house, they are first startled, and then they automatically pick up their own tools to put out the fire.

While trotting and banging on everyone's doors, Xia Zhi was thinking about the cause of this fire, whether it was caused by the dry weather, or whether someone deliberately set the fire to the current result.

I still remember in modern times, when I watched ancient dramas on the summer solstice. Is there a person who fights at night? Say what the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the candle flame. I didn't expect her to thoroughly experience it here, and the meaning behind this sentence represents.

However, Xia Solstice does not believe that his own rice stacks are on fire by themselves, first of all, this place is not a place where open flames are easy to appear, and after saying that Lao Luotou has been a farmer for so many years, he will not know that the autumn weather is dry and easy to fire.

It is estimated that the three-year-old children in Tianjia Village know this truth, especially during the autumn harvest, and the villagers pay great attention to it. If a fire burns the grain, it really makes people unable to live, so the fire is strictly controlled during the autumn harvest.

Xia Zhi remembered that Lao Luotou was humming a tune at that time, and smiled and told him how much grain could be taken out of the rice handles, obviously he didn't find anything wrong with the rice stacks, Xia Solstice believed in Lao Luotou, so it may be that it is natural, and the weather this year is not very hot, on the contrary, it is very cool at night. And the Tian family is very close to the river, so the natural probability is too low.

Then there is a possibility. Someone set fire to it, and deliberately lit the rice stacks of the Tian family, thinking of the summer solstice here, I remembered the black shadow that Tian Jingjing saw that night, whether it would have anything to do with him, but unfortunately he didn't see anyone when he came out, only saw a red patch, and half of the sky in Tianjia Village was lit up.

In this way, Xia Zhi while thinking about the Yuan Ying who caught fire, while almost knocking on the door of the Tian family's household, the entire Tianjia Village people gathered on the Tian family's rice field, everyone you have a bucket, I have a pot, scrambling to splash water on the fire, but this is how the fire on the Tianjia rice field still let these hundreds of people fight for an hour, before the fire is really extinguished, and at this time Xia Solstice has already run weak legs, sweating, hair scattered, embarrassed to sit against the wall.

Lao Luotou and the Tian family brothers, as well as the Li family, only cared about the rice that was burned in most of the rice field, and no one cared about her at all. Lin Yunlei was also a little embarrassed at this time, in order to put out the fire before, he was more anxious when he carried water, and a lot of water was sprinkled on him, and his feet were wet with water when he was fetching, and he was stained with a lot of mud, and there was no clean place below his knees.

And there was still a Tian Jing standing beside him at this time who needed him to take care of him, and Lin Yunlei couldn't let go of his hand at all. Thinking that Xia Zhi usually does things steadily and should be able to protect himself, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and before he said it, he vaguely heard the sound of Xia Zhi going to every house to knock on the door, thinking that she should be fine.

The skyrocketing fire had already been extinguished, but there was still smoke on it, and some straw ash was blown up to the sky because of the heat, and the Tian family's rice field was full of dust. What used to be a pile of hope for the farmer for a year has now turned into a pile of ashes.

Many villagers looked at the Tian family's expressions and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful in it, encountering such a thing can be regarded as eight lifetimes of mold. So much grain has been burned, this is their family's food for several years, although the Tian family doesn't care about this now, but it was burned in vain, and there is always a little sadness in my heart, and I feel a little distressed.

At this time, Lao Luo's head was completely stunned, and when he saw that the fire was extinguished, he directly pounced, threw the basin he was holding, and only a little rice stack was burned in front of him, so that he completely accepted his incompetence.

Obviously, he was very happy that this season's harvest was higher than the previous season, and even when he went to sleep, he was laughed at by his wife because he thought of the rice pile on the rice field.

Why did he just fall asleep, and it would become like this, Lao Luotou squatted down weakly, held his head in his hands, and shed tears.

There is an income of dozens of acres of land here, just let a fire burn down, no one will have a good time in the pavilion, not to mention the old Luo Tou who regards the crops as his life, it is like digging a piece deep in his heart.

The rest of the Tian family, looking at the long rice straw stack in front of them, which was dozens of meters long, only the end was still a little intact, and the rest were turned into ashes, at this time, they could still vaguely hear the sound of those rice being cooked, exploded into rice flowers, crackling, and then slowly turned into black ash in the ashes that were still some temperature.

Their eyes were stunned, if this was before, it would have cost their whole family's life, if it wasn't for the Tian family at this time, whether it was the Tian family in the past, or any village in Tianjia Village, it would be a fatal thing, but even if the Tian family is getting better now, it doesn't mean that they have lost these grains, it doesn't mean that they are not distressed.

Xia Zhi and Lin Yunlei are not good at comforting people, Tian Jingzhen was also frightened by today's battle, and after discovering Xia Zhi, he snuggled in her arms and didn't understand. At that time, the villagers, seeing that the fire was extinguished, had to go back to rest in twos and threes, and there was still farm work tomorrow, so they had to hurry up and go back to sleep. Before leaving, I have to comfort the Tian family,

"Xiao Luozi, heyβ€”β€”, want to open some!" "Tian Luo, look away!" "Sister-in-law Tian, enlighten Brother Tian well, this is also a matter of no choice! "Big brother, hurry up and pack up, go back to sleep, there are still many things to do tomorrow......

Xia Zhi was still by the wall, holding Tian Jing and not moving, looking at the villagers who were either patting Lao Luo's head and shoulder, or holding Li's hand, or looking at the four brothers of the Tian family with worried faces, but her mood was at the bottom, she really didn't know who her family had offended, and someone was ruthless to put such a fire.

"Who is Zhilu Dao?" A low voice sounded, making Lin Yunlei subconsciously glance at Xia Zhi who was sitting at his feet, her hair was scattered at this time, and there was still some black ash on her side face, she lowered her head and looked at Tian Jingzhen in her arms intently, she couldn't see her expression clearly at all, but Lin Yunlei could guess that she was not in a very good mood at this time.

If no one finds out, when the straw stack is burned, a little wind, the fire can borrow the wind and burn the Tian family's house, so it is not a problem of losing food, and the Tian family has to fold in it, but fortunately, the summer solstice slept with the window open, and was woken up by the smell of smoke emitted by the fire, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.

It's no wonder that these days are busy farming, everyone is very tired, and they sleep relatively dead, otherwise someone gets up from time to time to inspect at night, and this situation will not occur, Lin Yunlei knows the importance of food, but he has never lived the feeling of living on the food produced by his own family, and naturally he can't understand the summer solstice and the mood of the Tian family at the moment.

But in the end, he has lived with the people of the Tian family for so long, even if he is a person who has no feelings, he should feel sorry for the suffering family, not to mention that Lin Yunlei originally got along well with the Tian family, and his current mood is not at all better than the summer solstice, he feels that the Tian family has had accidents in his hands again and again, and the fire in his heart can't be stopped, these people are looking for death, and they have provoked him again and again.

"I don't know what to do!" Lin Yunlei also replied in a low voice, but he then said, "Don't worry, I have already asked people to check, you hurry up and let Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian go back to rest, now that the fire has been extinguished, it is useless to stay here, they are old, they only slept for a while, I am afraid they will not be able to survive tomorrow!" ”

Lin Yunlei saw Lao Luo's trembling body, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was tired, or he was hit by this incident, and he couldn't even stand steadily, and the Li family was holding him beside him, and he was not much better.

"A few more Brother Tian, and your aunt!" Lin Yunlei knew that after this incident, they were afraid that they would not be able to sleep, but the two old men were afraid that they would not be able to hold on, so it was best to drive everyone back to sleep for a while.

Xia Zhi also looked at the Tian family, who were still spinning around beside the fire, lowered their heads and whispered to Tian Jing, and then let him go and let him go to the Li family, I don't know what he said to the Li family, the Li family pulled Lao Luotou and Tian Jingzhen back to rest.

Seeing that the Li family and Lao Luo Tou were successfully persuaded, Xia Zhi went to the Zheng family and the four old brothers of Tian to persuade them, so that everyone went to bed again one after another, but it is unknown how many people fell asleep. (To be continued......)
