After saying this, Zhou Dachong's eyes turned red. While picking up the weeds on the mound, he chattered like a child chatting with his mother, talking about his recent situation.

"Mother, your son has come out of town and become the county governor of Songling County. Don't look at me, this official position is not high, but I am personally appointed by the Holy God today. The fifth uncle and his old man said: The ancestral tomb of our Zhou family is finally smoking. Mother, how nice it would be if you were still alive! Your son can pick you up and enjoy it. ”

Haruyama didn't speak, but just took out a few snacks and fruits from his baggage and placed them in front of the barratic mound.

Then he also squatted down and helped Zhou Dachong pull the weeds.

It's just that he looked up inadvertently, and felt as if someone in the distance was running towards him.

"Lord Zhou, it seems that someone is running over in the distance."

Zhou Dachong listened to Chunshan's words, looked in the direction of the end of the village, and really saw a figure stumbling towards this side. The man seemed to be shouting something as he ran?

"Let's go." After Zhou Dachong finished speaking, he didn't forget to put away the tribute fruit that was placed on the ground before Chunshan.

The two of them packed up their things, immediately got on their horses and ran down the other road. After most of the tea was over, I saw Old Man Zhou running over with the leader.

"Big Rush, Big Rush? Are you back? "Old man Zhou saw the weeds that had just been removed, and he screamed even louder." Big Rush, Big Rush! But all that answered him was the rustling of the leaves in the autumn wind.

But he was still unwilling, and circled around the barren mound several times: "Da Chong Niang, is Da Chong back?" Since Da Chong is back, why don't you go home and see me? Da Chong, Da Chong, Dad misses you, you hurry up and come out and talk to Dad. ”

But his voice hurt, and no one answered him. Old man Zhou sat down sadly and chattered bitterly.

"Da Chong Niang, I regret it. But why don't you regret taking medicine in this world? If I had to walk the previous path all over again, I would rather lead the big rush by myself. Woo~Woo~"

I don't know how long he cried, but he heard Zhou Lizheng's voice coming from not far away.

"Brother, what about you pretending to be a ghost to scare people in broad daylight?"

Old man Zhou: "I don't have it!" ”

"What are you doing without you?"

"I just wanted to rush, and I was aggrieved, so I couldn't hold back my howl."

"Tell me about you, here in broad daylight, the ghosts cry wolves, and scare away all the passers-by."

"I didn't mean to, I just felt too uncomfortable." At this time, Old Man Zhou's dejected face was lined with wrinkles on his face that were as deep as ravines.

"Alright, you go home! Don't howl anymore, the children in the village are too scared to leave the house because of you. ”

Zhou Lizheng now sees their family, and they all feel a pain in their heads. There is no one who is worrying about the old and the young.

"Old Five, is Da Chong back?" Old man Zhou looked at this cousin with expectant eyes.

"What do you talk about? How did Da Chong come back? When Zhou Li was saying this, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Da Chong~" Old man Zhou wanted to say that Da Chong did not die on the battlefield at all, the nonsense of the second and third men. But he really couldn't say these words.

"Alright, let's go back! The two daughters-in-law of your family are yelling again, you better go back and take care of it! ”

"I~" Old man Zhou wanted to say that he was a father-in-law and couldn't take care of it. But when he said it, it became, "I can't control it." ”

"You! You! Tell me how you've lived your life? The old one can't control it, and you can't control the little one? I just want to see, what will you do if you really get old and you can't walk, you can't climb? ”

"What to do? What else can I do? Bear it! ”

Old man Zhou leaned over and staggered down the mountain step by step. Just looking at the path leading to the village, his legs seemed unusually heavy.

At night, the village gradually fell asleep in the silence.

Two fast horses galloped in the night, but before they could get close to the village, they saw a red fire rising from the west end of the village.

Immediately afterwards, all the dogs in the village barked. Then, I heard someone shouting hoarsely at the sound of a broken gong: "Come on! The second noble family is gone! ”

At this suffice, most of the people in the village woke up. The big guys didn't bother to put on their clothes, so they ran out with a gown.

Zhou Dachong reined in his mount and was stunned when he looked at the firelight in the distance.

"Lord Zhou, shall we still go?" Seeing that Zhou Dachong couldn't leave, Chunshan also grabbed his mount and asked.

"Haruyama, do you believe in retribution?"

Chunshan pointed to the place where the fire was soaring, and said in disbelief: "There...... It is...... It is......? ”

"Yes."

When Chunshan heard Zhou Dachong's words, he was also a little upset. "Lord Zhou, I'm a little skeptical now, if someone came with the two of us, and then went behind the two of us to strike first."

Zhou Dachong heard this, laughed and said: "Okay, this may be the will of heaven, let's go back!" ”

"Hey. Let's go back at this hour, run quickly and get home tomorrow. ”

"Well, let's go!"

"Driving~"

In a short time, the two horses disappeared into the night.

The fire was still burning in the west of the village, and the adults and children in the village came to help.

Zhou Lizheng: "It's important for everyone to put out the fire, the big guys help together, water, water." ”

Fortunately, the people in the village were diligent, and the water tanks in every house were full, so they tossed for half an hour before finally extinguishing the fire.

However, the upper room and the stove room of Old Man Zhou's house have suffered serious losses, especially the stove room has burned down.

Zhou Lizheng, who was busy with a black and gray face, looked at the old man Zhou's house and asked a few people who were all smoked like the king of the stove and asked, "How did this fire start?" ”

Old man Zhou shook his head: "I don't know. ”

The black-hearted mother-in-law, the pants that were scared just now were wet.

Ergui and Sangui also shook their heads vigorously, and several children were frightened, and they only knew how to wipe their tears.

Zhou Li asked again angrily: "You don't know how the fire started?" ”

"I don't know." The family headed by Old Man Zhou is all one action: shaking their heads.

At this time, the fat dun on the east side of Old Man Zhou's house spoke: "Fifth grandfather, I know how their house caught fire. ”

"Fat Dun'er, hurry up and tell the fifth grandfather, how did their house catch fire?"

"It's a stove pit."

"Stove pit?"

"It's a stove pit. I had a stomachache today, and when I got up and went to the hut, I saw a bright light in their stove. When I first started, I thought someone in their family was cooking and eating in the stove. I was still wondering, who is this? I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I ate secretly. ”
