The support of Niujia Village is a drop in the bucket for the people of several villages, and they can only barely give them the strength to go to the mountains to find something that can be entered.

The edible bark has long been dug up, and some of the tender branches have been boiled and eaten.

When no one else has anything to eat and only Niujia Village has it, Niujia Village becomes the target of public criticism.

Morality and ethics have long lost their strength in the face of life, Jiang Ru heard the movement outside, and when he came out to look, he saw that several families in the village were on fire.

It's a dry day, and a little spark can cause a fire.

Seeing that Sister Li's house was also on fire, Jiang Ru hurriedly rushed into the house to pick up a bucket, scooped a bucket of water from the tank and rushed over.

Before leaving, she instructed Duan Xiaomei and them, "Close the door after I leave!" Whoever knocks on the door is not allowed to open the door, only when I return! ”

Duan Xiaomei was nervous, holding the child and nodding wildly.

When Jiang Ru rushed over, he saw Sister Li lying on the ground, and the rest of the people sat on the ground looking at the house in a daze.

Without water, they have no way to put out the fire.

The food was robbed, the belongings in the house were burned, and their faces were so desperate that they could not even shed tears.

Jiang Ru looked around, "What about Xiao Jiang?" ”

Li Zhang suddenly came back to his senses, screamed, and was about to rush into the house, "Ah! Xiao Jiang! My son! Xiao Jiang is still inside! ”

"Hold her!" Jiang Ru shouted.

I saw that she poured the water she had brought on her body, and rushed into the fire with a hoe.

The hoe was wielded by her like a sharp weapon, and all the fallen wood was blocked.

Fortunately, the structure of the house at this time was simple, and when I entered the door, I saw Li Xiaojiang who had shrunk in the corner and had passed out.

When she picked up Li Xiaojiang, she found that he was still holding something in his arms.

If you look closely, it turns out to be a book.

didn't have time to think about it, Jiang Ru took Xiao Jiang in his arms and rushed out.

Everyone in the Li family looked at Jiang Ru who rushed out of the fire and was stunned.

It was as if they saw a god who was not afraid of fire, and her back was full of light.

"Kid! My baby! Li Zhang pounced and hugged Li Xiaojiang fiercely.

Li Xiaojiang didn't breathe much smoke, and as soon as she tossed it, he woke up.

When Li Zhang saw him wake up, he cried and laughed, raised his hand and hit him on the ass.

"You damned child! You damned child! I saw you run out! Why did you run back again! Who told you to run back! You don't want to die?! ”

Li Xiaojiang knew that he had done something wrong, so he didn't dare to struggle, so he let his mother beat him, holding the book in his hand, but he didn't regret it.

Luckily, the book was rescued.

After five or six hits, Li Zhang's lost his strength and hugged Li Xiaojiang and cried silently.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I won't dare next time!"

"And next time?" Li Zhang raised his hand and wanted to hit him a few more times.

Li Xiaojiang was stunned, "There is no next time!" ”

He doesn't understand, if he doesn't do it next time, and if he doesn't have a next time, is there any difference? Isn't it all the same thing?

But whatever the mother says, he will answer, he wants to be a filial son.

"Why don't you hurry up and thank you Granny Niu!"

"Thank you, Granny Niu." Li Xiaojiang thanked him solemnly.

Jiang Ru waved his hand, "No thanks." You don't want to do such a dangerous thing next time, no matter how important something is, it can't compare to your life, you know? ”

"Got it, Granny Niu." Li Xiaojiang lowered his head and said.

He knew that life was the most important thing, but he was still reluctant to write.

Jiang Ru looked at the vigorous fire and sighed, this fire is hopeless.

"I'll go back first, there are only two people in my family, and neither of them is very capable, and I am very worried."

"Xinzhang Niang, go back quickly."

Sister Li had already woken up, and she was so angry that she fainted.

Fortunately, she was still in good health, and it didn't take long for her to wake up.

"If you need any help, you can come to me. Although my ability is limited, I will still help if I can. Jiang Ru said.

"Hmm." Sister Li lowered her head, and tears instantly came out of her eyes, falling on the dry muddy ground, forming small black dots.

Jiang Ru thought that she was crying because her home was burned, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she was silent for a while and left.

But in fact, the reason why Sister Li is sad is not just because her home was burned.

There is also the pain of being betrayed by a loved one.

It was her mother's people who came to steal their food, and she could recognize those people, even if they turned to ashes.

Only the people of her mother's family know about her habit of hiding food, and they can dig everything out.

She couldn't understand why a neighbor could be so enthusiastic, and her relatives could do such a chilling thing.

In such weather, without food and houses, how can they live as a family?

……

Jiang Ru walked briskly to the house with the bucket, she was not sure if anyone would attack their house.

After all, their family was the first to collect grain, and there were few people, and the surplus grain was relatively large.

[Since the host is worried, why did he come over to help Sister Li?] ］

[The door of our house has already been replaced by me, and ordinary people can't open it at all.] Ceramic pieces are installed at the head of the wall, and iron clips are placed under the corners of the wall, so even if someone comes to grab something, they will not be able to enter the door or climb the wall in the short term. ］

Eleven: [When did the host do this?] ］

[While you're sleeping.] ］

Jiang Ru hurried to the house, and from a distance, she saw a few people blocking the door, so she hurriedly quickened her pace.

After getting closer, I found that my eldest brother and second brother were confronting two people.

Those two were the short-nosed men who were scared by Jiang Ru when they came to rob that day.

This time, he heard that other villages were coming to rob, so he fished in troubled waters to take revenge.

Before I could reach the door, I was blocked.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law." Jiang Ru called.

When the dwarf saw Jiang Ru, he subconsciously took a step back, and was relieved to see that the bucket she was holding in her hand was not a lethal weapon.

Suddenly, he straightened his waist, "Your village is going to be finished!" I think you'd better hand me over the food. Otherwise, when our brothers come, you will all die!" ”

Jiang Ru didn't say a word, lifted the bucket and smashed it on the dwarf's head.

The dwarf had already taken precautions, and pulled the person next to him forward, blocking the barrel.

With the other hand, he picked up the machete in his hand and slashed at Jiang Ru.

If this is cut, Jiang Ru will be injured if he does not die.

"You dare!" When the eldest brother and second brother of the original body saw this scene, they immediately came up to help.

Jiang Ru's feet slipped to the side, his body deviated to the left, and while dodging the machete, his left hand pinched his arm fiercely, and his right hand made a fist, smashing his wrist hard, and the machete fell to the ground.

She threw her left elbow into the shortyman's face, her right fist on his nose, and then a punch in his chest, and a kick in his lower body.

Suddenly, the dwarf fell to the ground, his nose bleeded, and he couldn't get up again.

The eldest brother and second brother of the original body swallowed their saliva, "Cui'er, when did you become so powerful?" ”
