, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Talisman Bodyguard!

Jiangcheng, western suburbs.

The houses that collapsed and burned down by the lightning are still burning.

Swish!

A huge black shadow burst out of the flames and quickly burrowed into the grove not far away.

Woowoo!!

The alarm sounded, a red fire truck arrived at the scene, and several firefighters immediately got out of the car and began to extinguish the fire and rescue them.

Because it is located in the suburbs, it is very remote, and the people are also far away, heard the movement, and then saw the raging fire, so they called the police.

Therefore, it took a long time for the fire brigade to arrive at the scene, and the fire had been burning for more than ten minutes.

Fortunately, it is only a private house, the location is not large, and such a fire is not difficult to extinguish, just stand in the corner to extinguish the fire.

Thanks to the efforts of the firefighters, the fire was quickly extinguished.

Immediately afterwards, the firefighters began to check the casualties of the houses, and they turned over the collapsed bricks and tiles, especially the corners of some rooms, and focused on the inspection, which the firefighters were already very proficient in.

After careful inspection several times, the fire brigade was relieved to determine that the burned house was uninhabited.

Phew!

Just then, a car came at a rapid pace and stopped on the side of the road.

"Our house!"

"Oops, how did it become like this!"

"this, burned down my house! I'm! Lao Tzu has to peel his skin! ”

"Old man, I told you, I told you not to move to the city to live, but you didn't listen, now it's okay, our home is gone!"

Several men, women, and children got out of the car and exclaimed urgently when they saw the house burned down like this.

They are the owners of private houses, and because their children are developing in the city, they moved to Jiangcheng City and live with their children. Unexpectedly, the suburban house that was going to be used for retirement suddenly caught fire.

When he received a call from an acquaintance and friend, the old man hurriedly put down what he was doing, asked his son to drive, and rushed to the scene.

"You're the owner of this house, aren't you?" A firefighter walked over and asked.

"yes." The old man nodded, and hurriedly held the firefighter's hand, "Thank you for your hard work, comrade, in the middle of the night, you are still so busy." ”

"Politely, that's what we should do." The firefighter shook his head.

"Alas, I don't know which goddamn bastard burned down my house." The old man sighed and gritted his teeth, "This is the house I used to support my retirement, comrade, you must help us find the arsonist." ”

"If we knew this was the case, we shouldn't have moved into the city in the first place, and this wouldn't have happened if we lived here." The wife on the side is also very depressed.

"Mom and Dad, you still have to live with us, first, you can help us take care of the children, and secondly, you are also old, how dangerous it is to live in such a remote place." The son pushed his glasses and said.

"Yes, it's good that you two elders didn't live here, otherwise it would have been too dangerous tonight." The daughter-in-law also frowned.

"You know, if we live in the house, no arsonist will dare to burn the house!" The old man shouted.

The son and daughter-in-law couldn't compete with the old man, and they didn't want to cause a dispute here, so they had to be silent, just frowning, but they exposed their worries and unhappiness.

Hearing the conversation of this family, the firefighters were stunned and looked at each other.

At this time, the old man also reacted, realizing that the group of people in front of him was just a fire brigade and was not responsible for catching criminals, so he hurriedly smiled: "It's me who is in a hurry, and you are not responsible for catching arsonists." ”

"Alas, we will go to the police station early tomorrow morning to report to the police, and we must severely punish these arsonists!" The old man said heavily.

One of the firefighters smiled and shook his head: "Old man, thank you for not staying at home tonight." If nothing else, just talking about tonight's accident, you live in the city with your children, and you are really lucky. ”

"Why?" The family was stunned.

"There were no arsonists tonight, and the reason why your house burned down was because of a sudden lightning strike, which struck the house and caused a big fire. This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. The firefighter patiently explained.

"Struck by lightning?" The old man's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

The son and daughter-in-law were full of shock, and they didn't expect that this kind of thing with a very low probability would happen in their home.

It's okay, it's okay!

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately their parents lived with them, otherwise they would stay at home, this thunder and lightning suddenly slashed down, what else could people save?

The old man did not have this realization, he looked at the ruins in a daze, and muttered to himself: "How can this be? We haven't done anything bad in our lives, why would God punish us like this? ”

"It's an accident, it has nothing to do with morality, and if you have to say that, you have to thank God for choosing to tear down the house when you are not at home. Fortunately, the people are fine, and now you have to think about how to rebuild your home. The firefighter persuaded him, and after making sure that the fire had been extinguished at the scene, he drove away in a fire truck.

The old man stopped in front of a ruin for a long time, this is the place where he grew up, and it carries many memories of his life, and it is all ruined at this moment, which makes him very uncomfortable.

"Mom and Dad, let's go back first." The son and daughter-in-law stepped forward and persuaded softly.

"My house, my house." The old man squatted on the ground, choked and cried.

Although the son and daughter-in-law bought a house in the city, in the old man's concept, this is always home.

But now, the thunder and lightning disaster has destroyed his home, and the old man's heart has swelled with a sense of homelessness.

Losing one's homeland, where can one live in the world?

My wife was also secretly wiping her tears, "Don't cry, the comrade just now was right, we should thank God, as long as we are okay, our home will definitely be rebuilt." ”

The son and daughter-in-law were also in a low mood, and they also understood their father's feelings, and they also persuaded and comforted them.

Finally, the old man's mood was a little better, he stopped crying, and returned to the car with the support of his son, daughter-in-law, and wife.

When he was about to get into the car, the old man turned back again and took a deep look at the ruins, tears welling up in his eyes and clouding his eyes.

With a deep sigh, the old man got into the car.

The doors are closed, the windows are closed, and the cabin is quiet and the atmosphere is solemn.

Ding dong!

At this time, the phone rang and a text message was received.

At this time, none of the families present noticed the text messages, and their moods were immersed in sadness.

But the mobile phone used by the elderly, with a reminder function, will automatically read the content of text messages.

"Hello, your ICBC account with the tail number 098 has remitted an unknown amount of 1 million yuan. The current balance is $1.03 million. The voice of the announcer, without emotion, sounded from the mobile phone in the old man's pocket, and in this quiet carriage, the voice was very loud.

The son and daughter-in-law who were wearing seat belts looked at each other and were stunned.

The wife also turned her head, revealing a look of doubt.

The eyes of the family all looked at the old man in astonishment, to be precise, at the old man's pocket.
