Chapter 363: The Gate Is Locked
"Huh?" Sister-in-law Zhao looked at the place where Aunt Li pointed with a bad face.
In fact, Aunt Zhao didn't know a few words, but this thing was pasted by Wang Baiyu, so of course she knew what was on it, so she said to Aunt Li: "The shopkeeper door in the store went out today, so it's not there, and this one says that snacks will not be sold today for the time being." ”
Aunt Li stretched out her hand and patted her thigh, "It's not good not to sell snacks?" Just when you lock the door and follow me to the infirmary. I'll accompany you to send your man back, won't you just come back? I can't delay anything. ”
Aunt Zhao thought about it, the medical hall was indeed not far from here, and maybe she could meet Wang Baiyu on the road, so she nodded towards Aunt Li and said, "Okay, then you wait for me here for a while, I'll go in and get my things and come out." ”
Aunt Zhao went in to get the money bag, she usually didn't have any money on her, but every time she sold snacks, they would receive some money, and the money would be counted by Qiao Su every day, and then put it in the box over there, if something happened, and Qiao Su was not there, Aunt Zhao and Wang Baiyu could naturally take money from it, as long as they talked to her when Qiao Su came back.
Because Qin Shen would check the accounts every day, including of course the broken silver and copper plates in these boxes, they were not worried that someone would steal it.
Because of this, Qiao Su's small shop has clear accounts every day.
Aunt Zhao went in, took the money bag from the box, and looked at the three children, "Mother has something to go out, you three obediently rub the candy ball in the store, don't be naughty." I will lock the gate when I go out, and if I meet your senior sister on the way, she will naturally come back and open the door for you. If she hadn't come back early, you'd be honest, and it wouldn't be long before I came back. ”
"If I come back and find that some of you are mischievous, don't blame me for beating people." Aunt Zhao said again.
Zhao Guang's face was a little bad, and he looked at Aunt Zhao worriedly, "Mother, is something wrong?" ”
Aunt Zhao thought about it and felt that this matter should not be hidden from the children, so she said frankly: "Your father injured his leg while working, and he is in the hospital at this time, I want to go over and send some silver to grab some medicine, and then take your father home from the hospital." When I send your father back, he will come back. The hospital is in the bazaar, and it won't take long, so you all have to be obedient. Aunt Li has already said just now, your father-in-door has nothing to do, it's just that it's inconvenient to walk, so you don't have to worry. ”
Zhao Bamei stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Zhao's dress, "Is Dad injured?" In the hospital? It hurts! Mother! Take us along. ”
Zhao Xiaoqi on the side also answered: "Yes, yes! Mother, you can take us with you, otherwise we won't be at ease, right? ”
"How old are you, what's there not to worry about? Besides, I've said it all, your father just sprained his foot, so it's inconvenient to walk, I'm going to grab medicine for Yinzi, and then send him back, there's nothing wrong at all, and when you go back at night, you'll be able to see your father, what's the hurry? Besides, if we all go out, don't worry when you senior sister comes back and sees no one in the store! She's just going to the market to buy some ingredients, and it shouldn't be long before she's back, so you're all good for me, do you hear? "Aunt Zhao is already embarrassed to take money from Qiao Su at this time, if she is taking the three children out, she thinks this matter is really not good.
They worked for Qiao Su, and Qiao Su also gave them a lot of silver, and when she went home to sort out the silver, she could naturally bring back all the silver she took this time to make up for it. But she was still embarrassed to take her three children with her. So she took the key and locked the door and hurried out.
The three children sat on the chairs and looked at the table full of sweets, listening to the sound of the lock outside the door, and they were all a little unhappy.
Although they are not very old, they have always been close to their parents. Now they heard that their father was injured, and their mother didn't take them there, how could they be happy?
However, Zhao Guang already looked like a big child, and he persuaded his younger brothers and sisters and said: "You also know the mother's temperament, she has always had something to say." Since my mother said that my father has nothing to do, then my father must have nothing to do. Didn't my mother say that she would come back soon, and maybe the senior sister would come back earlier than my mother. Let's hurry up and rub the candy, didn't Master leave and say that he could let us go back early today? If we get all the candy when my mother comes back, then my mother will naturally be able to take us home, and won't we be able to see my father then? ”
Zhao Xiaoqi and Zhao Bamei both felt that what their brother said was very reasonable, so they quickly sat back on their chairs and rubbed the candy seriously.
The children's little hands move quickly, and they all hope to finish it quickly, so that when Aunt Zhao comes back, they can go home with Aunt Zhao.
Wen Xiaomo, who had bought the inkstone, was walking towards Qiao Su's storefront.
He kept thinking back to the hour watch he saw in Niu Ruoshui's store. I think the chances of running into people at this time are very small.
Even so, he was careful.
In order not to attract attention, he naturally had to go to the surrounding restaurants to buy some food, otherwise it would be strange if someone saw him here? After all, in addition to selling food, this place also sells wine, and does not sell pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. So he held an inkstone in one hand and a snack wrapped in oiled paper in the other, and walked slowly and leisurely, as if he was taking a walk.
The wind is blowing.
Wen Xiaomo looked at the dense clouds in the sky and felt that this was just an opportunity. Walking to the pepper bush, he looked up at Qiao Su's store and found that the door of the store was locked. As soon as his eyes turned, he naturally noticed the notice posted at the door of the store.
It says it's a day off.
This notice immediately made Wen Xiaomo feel that the heavens were on his side! I think everything will go smoothly today.
Since Qiao Su's shop door was locked, Wen Xiaomo naturally didn't worry that someone would come out inside, so he looked left and right, and found that there was no one around, so he immediately took out the fire fold from his arms.
He deliberately threw the oiled paper bag to the ground, then bent down to make the appearance of picking up the oiled paper bag, and then took the opportunity to blow the fire fold.
But before he could blow it, a strong wind blew the fire and burned it, and the flames on it just happened to blow on the pepper flowers.
Chapter 364: Fire
Spring is supposed to be a dry season, and it happens to be windy at this time, and all of a sudden, a little spark immediately turns into a prairie fire, burning the whole pepper bush.
Wen Xiaomo was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, he looked left and right, and found that there was no one, so he immediately turned around and left with a paper bag and an inkstone.
The flames on the pepper bush burned more and more, and they licked the door of Qiao Su's store.
Most of the doors of Yuzhou are wooden doors, which are naturally very easy to burn. And Qiao Su's shop is very expensive to use firewood, and naturally the yard is full of firewood, isn't it all on fire at once?
The three children, who were rubbing candy in front of the kitchen door, suddenly tightened their noses at the same time.
Zhao Guang looked around: "Do you smell anything?" ”
Zhao Xiaoqi stretched his neck and sniffed around, "Why do I feel like there is a smell of smoke." ”
"I smell it too, I smell it too!" Zhao Bamei said loudly.
The three children looked at each other, Zhao Guang and Zhao Xiaoqi jumped off their chairs almost at the same time and ran to the kitchen to look, but the fires under the kitchen stove were all extinguished.
At this time, Zhao Bamei, who fell behind, suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to the yard, "Look, it's on fire!" ”
"What are you doing? Still can't put out fires? Zhao Guang immediately picked up the kitchen basin to scoop water in the tank, and then hurriedly ran towards the yard and sprinkled water on the fire in the yard.
Zhao Xiaoqi and Zhao Bamei saw Zhao Gang's movements, and immediately followed with a small basin.
The three children are not very tall, and their strength is naturally not great, and the water they can bring out at one time is limited, after all, they can't lift a large basin full of water.
It was very windy.
They are small.
No matter how much they tried to extinguish the fire, it didn't work, and those fires burned fast.
Zhao Bamei was so frightened that she cried.
At this time, the people around naturally found out that Qiao Su's store was on fire, and immediately someone turned around and ran to find the water club, so that the people of the water club could put out the fire.
The rest of the people went home and tried to get water to help put out the fire.
The pepper bushes outside are still on fire, causing a lot of plants around to burn, and everyone is really getting busier and busier because there are more and more places on fire.
Someone heard the cry of the child in Qiao Su's shop, and immediately said loudly: "Quick! How can I listen to a child crying in that yard? ”
"Hurry up, let's put out the fire in this shop first!"
Anyway, those trees, flowers, and grasses, once they catch fire, there is no need to rescue them, not to mention that human life is more important.
So everyone went to Qiao Su's store with a basin and poured water inside.
At this moment, the three children looked at the fire in the yard and knew that there was no way to extinguish it, so they had to run to the backyard.
But I don't know what's wrong, Zhao Guang was jumped onto Mars.
Zhao Xiaoqi and Zhao Bamei hurriedly patted the flames on Zhao Guang's body with their hands, but the more they shot, the bigger they became.
Zhao Guang criticized the stone bench in the backyard and said: "Quickly move the stool and climb the wall to get out, leave me alone!" ”
But how could Zhao Xiaoqi and Zhao Bamei ignore him?
Although they have many children, the other brothers and sisters are too different in age than them, so although the three of them are noisy, they really have the best relationship.
Looking back at this time, Zhao Guang's body was already burning, and Zhao Xiaoqi couldn't care about moving the stool, so he took off his clothes and threw himself at Zhao Guang.
But what he didn't know was...... If you want to extinguish a fire, you need to use a very wet cloth!
He fanned the fire with this kind of half-dry clothes, which of course made the fire burn more and more fiercely.
The pain of being burned by the fire made Zhao Guang Kashgar roll all over the ground, making Zhao Xiaoqi cry anxiously.
Zhao Xiaoqi and Zhao Bamei both had blisters on their hands, but they still didn't give up Zhao Guang.
Zhao Bamei wanted to help, but she suddenly twitched heavily, and she didn't know whether she fainted or died.
Zhao Xiaoqi is really desperate now, Zhao Guang on one side and the eighth sister on the other.
But there was no water in the backyard, and he couldn't lift the bucket in the well!
He quickly ran towards Qiao Su's house, wanting to find out if there was a basin of water, and sure enough, he pushed the door and went in, and there were basins of water in the rooms of the master and senior sister, and he poured it on Zhao Guang when he took it out.
finally extinguished the fire on Zhao Guang's body, and the three children hugged together and cried.
But the smoke grew thicker and thicker, and slowly the three children coughed violently, and then gradually ...... There was no sound.
When Aunt Zhao came back, she saw many people putting out fires in the store.
She was so anxious that she wanted to open the door and rush in.
But he was stopped by others.
Because the fire in the yard was just too big.
She fell to her knees and cried, if she hadn't left, wouldn't this have happened?
She didn't know what was going on with the children.
She kept calling the names of her three children outside the store.
The people around looked at her and felt very pitiful, so someone advised: "Don't worry, we heard the cry of children before, I think they should hide in the backyard, we can put out the fire quickly, and we can save them as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, yes, extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire!" Saying that, Aunt Zhao was about to rush in to extinguish the fire.
She didn't want to think about it, she didn't have any tools to extinguish the fire, how could she put out the fire?
Even if she could rush in, she would be burned.
Soon, the fire at the door was controlled, and after Aunt Zhao stepped forward to open the door, everyone worked together to pour water into the yard, but the water was still a drop in the bucket for the fire inside.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky, and heavy rain fell from the sky.
Seeing that the fire in front of her was gradually extinguished, Aunt Zhao finally rushed in.
Along the way, she saw that the yard and kitchen had been burned to ashes, but she didn't see any children!
When she ran to the backyard, she saw the three children in Tuan Tuan's arms at a glance.
Aunt Zhao pounced and shouted the children's names, but she found that the three children were no longer breathing.
Aunt Zhao cried and cried and fell down.
When Wang Baiyu came back at this time, he found that something had happened at home, and hurriedly asked the people around him, what is wrong?
As Qiao Su's eldest apprentice, naturally everyone knows her, so everyone talked about it.
Because the flowers caught fire, and the fire ignited the house again.
But the gate of this courtyard was locked, and even if they wanted to go in and put out the fire, there was no way.
Wang Baiyu didn't care about anything else at this time, so he threw down the basket and ran in.
Then she found Aunt Zhao and her three children all lying on the ground in the backyard, and she screamed heartbreakingly for a doctor.
Because of this heavy rain, naturally there is no need for water to come and extinguish the fire.
Soon, a well-wisher invited a doctor to come over.
The doctor came over to take a look, Aunt Zhao was just angry and fainted, but the three children were already ...... There is no help.
