After he left, Wentai had time to ask his daughter, "How is it, nothing went wrong with the work today, right?" ”

"No, it's very smooth." Wen Shu smiled proudly: "And I was temporarily transferred to an errand, and the salary was twenty points more." ”

Wen Tai shook his head helplessly when he heard this: "You girl doesn't know who to follow, it's like falling into the eyes of money all day long." ”

Wen Shule giggled: "It's not like you, it's naturally like a mother." ”

"Go, your mother is not as faceless as you." Wentai scolded with a smile and drank all the cooked water in the bowl.

After drinking cooked water and looking at the hour, Wen Shu thought about cooking earlier, so that after eating early, he could go to the night market.

Who knew that when I told his father, I saw him shake his head and said: "I am not free today, the Li family came at noon, saying that Li Dazhuang's wife has been confused, maybe in the past two days, I have to hurry to make his family's longevity." ”

"Ahh So suddenly! Wen Shu put down the bowl in surprise, "I passed by his house two days ago, and I saw the old lady basking in the sun in the courtyard." ”

Li Dazhuang is the owner of the grocery store on Front Street, and there is an old lady who is almost seventy at home.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Li family was afraid that there would be a case, so they hurriedly came to the shop and ordered a coffin, who knew that the coffin was halfway through, and Mrs. Li had improved again.

"Who's to say it's not, life and death are impermanent." Wentai sighed and waved her hand to catch her up: "Okay, if you're okay, go elsewhere, don't get in my way here." ”

Wen Shu, who was disgusted, replied and went to the backyard to work.

Jin Wuxi fell, the sunset was full of sky, and the backyard of the Wen family wafted a burst of food fragrance.

Because Daddy Wen wanted to rush to work and couldn't go to the night market, Wen Shu could only eat some casually in the stove by herself, and warmed her father's food on the stove, and then went back to the room to warm up for a while.

When it was time to turn on the lamp, the sky was completely dark, Wen Tai came back from the front shop, went to the kitchen to eat on the stove, said a few more words to Wen Shu, and went back to the room to rest.

It was night, the wind was blowing, and the black clouds were lonely.

The wind swept the sawdust and wood flowers that had not had time to be cleaned in the backyard and flew down to the four houses, and the glowing lightning surged like a dragon in the clouds.

In the plain curtain, Wen Shu closed her eyes and laughed out loud, in her dream, a lot of Jiaozi and gold fell from the sky, like rain, she stood on the green grass, looking at the Jiaozi and gold and silver falling from the sky, and she was so excited that she couldn't help herself.

Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, a sudden thunderbolt rolled past his ears, and then a dazzling lightning bolt slashed down from the sky, smashing the gold and silver tickets that he had not had time to pick up on the ground.

At that moment, Wen Shu only felt that his heart was also broken!

"Oh no, no, it's water...."

In a moment of melancholy, there was a commotion in his ears, and it didn't take long for his nose to smell a smell of burnt smoke, and Wen Shu, who was asleep, frowned uneasily.

This is too real, even the smell of burning, she thought to herself, but after a moment she suddenly sat up from the bed and looked out the window in horror.

At this time, there was already a blazing fire outside, and billowing smoke poured in from outside the door, covering the entire interior with clouds.

Oops, it's on fire!

didn't have time to think about it, Wen Shu grabbed the clothes on the bedside and ran out, shouting loudly: Dad, Dad! ”

In the east room, Wentai, who had always slept very deeply, heard his daughter's voice, sat up from the bed suddenly, and then looked at the blazing fire outside, his complexion also changed greatly, and he didn't have time to dress, so he jumped up from the bed and ran out of the door.

"A-Ning!"

The moment he opened the door, Wen Shu had already rushed to his door, and both of them were relieved to see that the other party was safe.

It's just that when they looked at the source of the fire, both of them were stunned!

Because the place where the fire was most affected was her shop.......

"Quick! Bring all the buckets you can use in the kitchen! ”

In the end, it is still the elderly who have experience, Wentai only came back to his senses for a moment, and while mocking Wen Shu and roaring, he quickly ran to the well to carry water to put out the fire.

"Hey" Wen Shu came back to her senses and immediately ran to the kitchen, but she already knew in her heart that her shop couldn't be saved......

An hour later, the sky grew white, and the thunderstorm that had been brewing all night finally fell after the dawn broke and the rooster crowed three times.

The grizzled fire team, who had been busy all night, sat down on the ground limp as they watched the pouring rain.

It's finally falling, and if it doesn't rain again, the whole alley will burn out! But Rao is like this, and at this time, there are many shops and houses that have been burned or demolished.

Wen Shu helped Wen Tai to stand under the eaves across the street to hide from the rain, and the heavy rain crackled on the tiles overhead, just like hitting her heart.

Gone!

She and her father have been frugal for more than ten years, and the shop they put down last year is gone!

Three hundred!

Thinking of this, Wen Shu's heart twitched, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Wentai on the side looked at the ruins on the opposite side, and his heart was uncomfortable, but in the end, he was a man and did not show his emotions. Seeing that the daughter on the side was crying, she sighed, patted her back and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, we can build it again if the shop is gone, but the backyard is saved." ”

Due to the wind and the principle of extinguishing the fire by the submarine fire team, the backyard of this longhouse was preserved.

Wen Shu sobbed when he heard this: "It can be rebuilt, but it will cost a lot of silver.....

"That's no way," Wentai pointed around and said, "Look at these neighborhoods, which one is not the case, and it's not just our family, our family has managed to save the backyard, which is a great luck in misfortune." ”

Those who even burned down the backyard, that's really miserable, in this bleak season, there is not even a place to stay,

Thinking of this, Wen Shu slowly put away his tears, but looked at the charred shop opposite, and his heart was still uncomfortable.

Half an hour later, the untimely rain finally stopped.

The howling people who hid under the eaves rushed out and rummaged through their burned houses. Weeping and searching, to see if there was anything left to use, especially the silver money hidden in the house, which was the first thing to be found.

The father and daughter of the Wen family are naturally no exception, but the backyard of her house only burns the section in front of the well, and the place where the people live behind is still intact, so they are not in a hurry to get the silver.

On the contrary, although the shop was badly burned, it was basically impossible to keep anything, but the set of tools used to make the coffin had to be picked up.

Thinking of this, the father and daughter went straight to the shop.

Sure enough, half a quarter of an hour later, the iron pieces were gathered together by the father and daughter, and the wooden handles or outer edges on them had long been turned to ashes, which were expected by the father and daughter, and they were already very content to pick up these iron pieces.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the iron piece, Wen Shu also pulled out a strange iron box from the ash heap.

"Dad, look, what is this? Wen Shu lifted the iron box and shook the ashes.

Wen Tai glanced at it and saw that it was a boxy pitch-black iron box, only the size of an adult's palm, and couldn't help asking, "Where did you find this thing?" ”

"That." Wen Shu pointed to the place where the leftovers were placed by the door.

Hearing this, Wen Tai put down his things and took the iron box in Wen Shu's hand to take a closer look.

The iron box is dark throughout, surrounded by birds and beasts, landscapes, flowers and birds and patterns, and the strange thing is that the shape of the whole box is a bit like a coffin, and I can't help frowning.

"Dad, is this our belonging?" After a while, Wen Shu asked.

"It's not."

"How did you get it out of our house?"

Wentai thought for a moment and hesitated: "Maybe a guest accidentally fell when passing by, you can put it away first, and if someone comes to ask back, you will return it to others." As he spoke, he handed her back the iron box.

"Hmm." Wen Shu responded lightly and took the iron box.

After putting away the iron pieces, the father and daughter went back to the backyard when there was nothing more usable.
