Chapter 27: The Manifestation of the Minister
Old man Cheng and Li carried the lamp oil jar around the east side of the house, and made sure that they were all poured, Li took out a fire fold from his arms, blew out the flames, and touched the lamp oil.
"Boom-"
The firelight immediately illuminated Lee's face that was distorted with excitement.
Su Qinniang, you fox, go die!
Now it is the time of dry weather, the ancient houses are all brick and wood structures, and the proportion of wood is more proportional, and a layer of lamp oil is poured, and the fire is burning, almost in the blink of an eye, the whole house is wrapped into a huge fireball.
After Su Qin noticed the motives of the Cheng family, he transferred the two children into the space.
If Su Qin's dislike of the Cheng family before was only because of what happened to the original owner, then now, the Cheng family has completely angered her.
Very good!
Su Qin was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
out of space.
After the Cheng family determined that Su Qin's mother and son would not have a chance to survive, they took the basin and ran out of the door.
"Someone, put out the fire, there's a fire, come and put out the fire!"
The nearby villagers were woken up, and seeing that the fire outside the window was as bright as daytime, they were so frightened that they hurriedly dressed and rushed out of the house, carrying buckets and rushing to Cheng's house.
At this time, the fire had burned the entire east side house to the point that it was impossible to see the outline.
Old man Cheng stood in the yard patting his thighs and stomping his feet, "Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire, the eldest daughter-in-law and the two children are still inside!" ”
When the villagers heard this, they hurriedly fetched water to put out the fire.
The Cheng family's well was shallow and the water in the well was dried up after a while, but the fire was not controlled at all.
So the villagers hurried to other wells to find water.
However, Xiaohe Village is poor, there are only a few families with wells, and they live very scattered, and the village has water, basically relying on a few ancient wells in the village. And the laundry and feeding the pigs are all picked from the small river outside the village.
Xiaohe is nearly a mile away from Cheng's house.
Therefore, despite their best efforts, the villagers could only watch as the houses in the east gradually turned to ashes.
The Cheng family was ecstatic, but they couldn't show it.
Old man Cheng sat down on the ground, beat his chest, and cried, "Boss, how can I have the face to go underground to see you in the future!" ”
Several female dependents of the Cheng family also covered their faces and howled.
The villagers are embarrassed, the three lives are alive, and if they say no, they will be gone, and no one can stand it.
In order to convince the villagers, Old Man Cheng cried quite hard, "I'm not alive, boss, I'm sorry for you, I'll go underground to make amends for you now......"
As he spoke, Old Man Cheng got up from the ground and ran a few steps towards the main house, threatening to hit the wall.
The villagers naturally didn't watch Old Man Cheng hit the wall, and several people stopped him and persuaded him with nonsense.
"Old man Cheng, what are you doing! The child is gone, and if you look for death and life, their mothers and sons will not survive. If something happens to you again, how do you let this family live? ”
Old man Cheng cried so much that he cried a handful of tears, and his voice was hoarse, "I'm sorry for their mothers, I'm sorry for the boss, what do I ......mean by living?"
Before the last word could be spoken, it was stuck in my throat.
Old man Cheng looked at the three figures that appeared at the door out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, the three figures suddenly disappeared.
Such a strange scene frightened Old Man Cheng with his mouth wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.
The villagers noticed his anomaly and followed his line of sight to look out, "Oh, what the hell! ”
The entire courtyard gasped in fright, and then took a few steps backwards.
Su Qin led the child into the yard with a puzzled face, "In the middle of the night, the neighbors don't sleep, what are you doing in my yard?" Hey, where's my house?! ”
Zhou Zhou and Yueyue also stared, "Mother, our house is gone!" ”
The villagers were stunned for a long time, and after confirming that Su Qin was not like a ghost, they asked, "Yan...... Yan'an's daughter-in-law, you have nothing to do with the child...... Not in the house? ”
Su Qin pretended to be confused: "When we were halfway through our sleep tonight, we suddenly heard someone calling us, listening to the voice, like the father of the children." I thought that the child's father had returned, so I hurriedly took the child out to look for it. ”
Everyone was immediately aroused, "Then did you go out and see people?" ”
Su Qin frowned and said: "I saw a back, I can recognize it, it is the children's father, but he keeps walking outside the village, and he refuses to stop no matter how we shout." I chased the child all the way to the edge of the county seat, but in a blink of an eye, I couldn't find it. We searched around there for a long time, but we didn't find anything, so we had to turn back again. ”
Everyone listened with a chill on their backs.
This must be Cheng Yan'an's soul back!
Look at the east side house that has burned to the ground, and then look at the mother and son who have obviously walked for a long time, and their clothes and shoes are still covered with dew, and the villagers automatically make up a moving drama in their brains.
Cheng Yan'an has a spirit in the sky and knows that this lady is in danger tonight, so the manifestation called them out to avoid this disaster.
Otherwise, the mother and son would definitely have no way to live.
So someone couldn't help but whisper: "Yan'an is not a child, he is affectionate, and he can't let go of his daughter-in-law and children." ”
"You see that he finally appeared, and he refused to look back at his mother, because he must have been afraid of scaring them. You say, how uncomfortable that kid is in Yan'an's heart. ”
An older man sighed, "It's okay, you mothers and sons will have a good time in the future, don't let down Yan'an's hard work." ”
Su Qin scratched his head, "What's going on with my house?" It's good, why is it fired like this? ”
Cheng Zhoushi hurriedly said: "The designation is that you didn't pay attention to the lamp, the oil lamp fell down, and the house was burned." ”
There are certain safety hazards in the lighting methods of the ancients, and fires caused by lighting are not uncommon, so the villagers do not feel strange.
Su Qin said: "That can't be, we turned off the lights early, and when we went out to chase the child's father, there was no light at all, even if it fell, it was impossible to catch fire." Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I see that the fire is strange tonight, I am afraid that someone deliberately set the fire, and I want to say, it is better to go to the county to report to the official. What if there are thieves who want to enter the village and harm people? ”
When the Cheng family heard that Su Qin said that he wanted to report to the official, their hearts were shocked.
Cheng Zhoushi shouted: "How big is it, how can I report to the official?" Are you so idle as that official? ”
Su Qin spread his hands: "Mother-in-law, how can this be called a big deal?" To put it mildly, there may be thieves who want to cause chaos and harm others. To put it mildly, our house is gone, where will I live with my children in the future? I can't be in the main room with you. ”
