He had never seen Qi Yanwu perform martial arts, so Zhou Zhishan watched it carefully, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. Qi Yanwu is really a kung fu handed down from his ancestors, flashing and moving, and his actions are agile.

At this time, he fought with the man, and danced the pole of the door open, every move was extremely fast, and he slashed at the top of the man's head or legs mercilessly, obviously wanting to knock the man down in a moment.

Qi Yanwu wanted to behave in front of the little master Zhou Zhi at this time, and he was a little impatient, he wanted to clean up the thief in front of him as soon as possible.

This lone thief is a slightly obese man, but his actions are also quite neat, with a machete in his hand, chopping and chopping, and his moves are ruthless, he is obviously also a person who knows some martial arts. Under Qi Yanwu's fierce attack, it didn't seem to be down for a while.

The two fought before they could make a cup of tea, and a group of villagers appeared on the south road. They were armed with shovels, wooden sticks, axes, kitchen knives, and the like, shouting, "Catch the thieves, don't let them run!" ”

There were many people, and everyone had some courage, and they rushed over in unison, and soon arrived at the gate of Zhou Zhi's house.

At the front were several slave thugs, each with a knife or sword.

Seeing so many people gathered around, the thief was obviously weak-hearted, slashed his machete a few times, turned his head and ran down to the north. Where was Qi Yanwu willing to let him go, he chased after two steps, and the pole of the top door smashed the thief's back, the thief was in pain, and staggered forward a few steps, but he was very strong to endure, did not fall, did not pay attention to Qi Yanwu, and just ran forward desperately.

"Catch him, catch him!" The villagers shouted and rushed forward.

At this time, a voice in the crowd suddenly said, "Poor Kou Mo chase, be careful that they have an ambush!" ”

He spoke loudly, and his voice obviously slowed the pace of the crowd a little. Qi Yanwu was also stunned for a moment at this time, he clearly knew that it was his duty to protect Zhou Zhi, so he searched for Zhou Zhi in the crowd.

Zhou Zhi was standing at the gate of the courtyard, and was rushed by these chaotic villagers, and had no choice but to retreat to the courtyard.

Qi Yanwu quickly found Zhou Zhi, stood cautiously in front of Zhou Zhi, and said softly, "Brother, the thief ran away!" ”

Zhou Zhi turned his head to look at Qi Yanwu, and saw that Qi Yanwu looked shocked and apologetic, obviously he was worried that he would be blamed by Zhou Zhi for not catching the thief.

In fact, Zhou Zhi was looking forward to Qi Yanwu catching the thief, so that he could ask where they came from, why they only stole Baiyue Village, and let the Zhou family go.

But Zhou Zhi saw it really just now, Qi Yanwu had already tried his best, if he hadn't been scattered by these villagers in front of him, he would definitely have caught the thief. If he is not caught at this time, there is no way, so he can only slowly listen to the investigation in the future.

Zhou Zhi comforted, "Xiao Wu has done his best, just run, let's run, the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, the thief will fall into the legal net one day after all." ”

Qi Yanwu was a little relieved.

The thief ran farther and farther, and at this time there was no trace of him, and everyone only sighed helplessly.

"Wang Ren's house is on fire, go and see, maybe Wang Ren is dead!" I don't know who said something in the crowd, and everyone ran towards Wang Ren's house.

At this time, the fire seemed to be more fierce than before, although only three families were on fire, but the north wind was howling, and if it continued like this, it would inevitably affect more people, and it was possible that the fire would burn down the entire Baiyue Village.

Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu followed behind everyone and followed the flow of people to the courtyard of Wang Ren's house.

The house has burned down, Aunt Li and her son Wang Fatdun hugged each other in the courtyard, shouting and crying for a long time, she has no strength now, her eyes are lost looking at the raging fire, and there is no expression on her face.

"It's over, our family is finished!" Seeing everyone coming, Aunt Li came back to her senses and muttered.

There was no one to comfort their mother and son, and there was no way to comfort them at this time. Dead people, lost fires, lost everything, no one can bear such pain.

When the villagers saw what they saw, they stood silently, as if they had lost their souls under her infection.

In the past ten days, the thieves have killed people and set fires, and no one has not been afraid every day. They secretly thought that maybe Wang Ren's house was burned tonight, and it would be their turn tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow.

"Firefighting! Everybody firefighting! Zhou Zhi suddenly shouted loudly.

His voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it were a command. Zhou Zhi's prestige in Baiyue Village had already become higher and higher, and someone immediately responded, saying, "Quick! Fire! It's important to fight fires! ”

Everyone took buckets, carried water from the well, and hurriedly began to put out the fire.

The Zhou family and Aunt Li's house were only fifty or sixty steps away, and Qi Yanwu also hurried home, took a bucket, and threw himself into extinguishing the fire.

The firefighting team grew stronger and stronger, and in less than half an hour, the fire at Aunt Li'er's house was finally extinguished, and everyone found Wang Ren's body from the house that was burned to ashes. At this time, Wang Ren had been burned to black charcoal, and everyone was sad and wept when they saw it.

A good sturdy farmer was killed by thieves, and then burned like this.

When Aunt Li saw it, she immediately fainted.

After a long time, she woke up slowly, and cried again, "What kind of sin did my family create?" How did it come to this! ”

Wang Fatdun is also crying and crying is similar to the tearful man, the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng stood in front of Wang Fatdun at some point, and comforted softly, "Fatdun, don't cry, your father is gone, you still have me as a friend, you will live in our house in the future!" ”

Zhou Shaocheng is only a seven-year-old child, but he has a very responsible appearance, and he reassures Wang Fatdun with a serious face.

After being busy for almost half a night, it was not until the sky was light that the villagers dispersed from Aunt Li'er's house one after another.

Aunt Li'er's family has nothing now, although Zhou Zhi has always disliked Aunt Li, a long-tongued woman, but after being a neighbor for so many years, and now her family has suffered a big disaster, so he told Aunt Li that she wanted her to go to her own house to live temporarily.

Aunt Li refused very gratefully, and said weakly, "Right now, our mother and son don't have any worries in Baiyue Village, and my daughter has already asked me to go to the county many times."

Now it's okay, we can finally get out, our mother and son buried his father and went to the county, and never went back to Baiyue Village in the future! ”

As she spoke, Aunt Li couldn't stop crying again.

Baiyue Village seemed to have become her saddest place.

Zhou Zhi couldn't say anything more, so he and a few neighbors followed Aunt Li's instructions to bury Wang Ren in a mass grave in the west of the village, and Aunt Li'er's mother and son then set foot on the road to Qingdu County.

After a lot of work, Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu slowly went home, and just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, but saw that the courtyard was crowded with people.

There are a lot of neighbors, and there are people who don't know each other well, and almost a village of people is here.

When everyone saw Zhou Zhi coming back, they shouted in a hurry, "Zhou Zhi is back, and today I will ask him to give us an explanation." ”
