Chapter 73: Disasters Repeated
The storeroom in the front yard of the Xu family was on fire.
This fire burned, so anxious that Xu Yuan, Xu Quan rushed in with a basin, that is all the dry cocoons of their house are in it, if it burns, it will not be able to pass this year.
Fortunately, the fire was not big, and the two of them plus Xu Fu and Xu Mengchuan, Xu Menghe, the two brothers joined hands, and the fire was quickly extinguished.
But I was also scared into a cold sweat.
If this storehouse burns down.
Their Xu family is going to finish the play completely.
When the old man heard the sound and rushed out, he saw that at least half of the dried silkworm cocoons had been burned in the warehouse, and half of the 50,000 catties of dried silkworm cocoons in the family's harvest this year were left.
The rest have turned to ashes.
The whole room smelled of burnt pig hair.
The faces of the people were ugly.
"What's going on? What's going on? ”
Old Man Xu was a little confused.
They are silk mills, and they are afraid of fire and candles, which is what the stories of the old people warn them.
Who's yard has several large pots of water under the eaves of the porch.
One is for feng shui, and the other is for fire prevention.
Xu Fu sneered, "I don't know what's going on, the dry cocoon in the warehouse actually caught itself." Thanks to the fact that we were just about to take the dry cocoon, we watched the flames suddenly ignite on their own, as if they had been cast a demon spell, and they rushed upward, so frightened that I hurriedly shouted to put out the fire, and it was already like this. ”
Xu Fu was also in a cold sweat, and it was scary for anyone to see that scene at that time.
"Xu Fu, what nonsense are you talking about? How can there be a dry cocoon on its own. Did you get into trouble? Just an excuse, I told you that if you let me know that you did it, you can wait to send the official. ”
Old Man Xu was angry and wanted to shut up Xu Fu.
Xu Fu quit.
"Old man, I don't admit what you say, you are trying to wronged me. I don't believe you ask, I didn't see it alone at that time, the second young master and the third young master all saw it, and when we went in together, the fire was ignited. You can't lose your conscience and wronged people. ”
If this is sent to the official, their family will be bankrupt, the problem is that they can't afford to compensate the Xu family, and they will definitely end up in exile at that time.
Xu Fu is a long-term worker, he has worked for the Xu family for so many years, how can he carry this pot.
Xu Mengchuan and Xu Menghe both nodded, their faces were blue and their eyes were frightened.
They really saw that, too.
Weird and scary.
The two brothers couldn't help but squeeze together.
"Grandfather, really, we have seen it with our own eyes, it is like a ghost fire, and suddenly it is lit up in front of us, and it is very fast, and the flame is raised, and none of us is close to the dry cocoon pile, which is seven or eight feet away, but it is ourselves.
It can't be haunted! ”
The two brothers shuddered.
Shivering.
They couldn't tell what was going on at that time, but they just watched the flames swish and ignited all at once.
"You ...... Really see a fire? ”
Old Man Xu was a little skeptical, it would be a little strange if he said that.
"Really, my grandson won't dare to lie to you."
Xu Mengchuan Xu Menghe naturally replied in a loud voice.
Xu Yuan chuckled in his heart.
Finished.
Maybe the old lady has done something good, it must be not small.
Otherwise, how could there be such a thing.
"Go down."
The old man also muttered in his heart, and turned back to the house.
Feng Shi said excitedly to the old man, "Dad, my mother is awake!" Just woke up! ”
The old lady woke up earlier, so that they could go back to their own house, or they would be tired and die of exhaustion by serving them every day.
But you can't help but serve, that is to be scolded to death by pointing at the backbone.
Disobedience and unfilial piety, they don't dare.
It's good to wake up.
When Xu Yuan heard this, he also hurriedly followed, and as soon as the three of them entered the house, sure enough, the old lady opened her eyes and was looking at them with a confused face.
"What's wrong with me?"
He can still speak.
It's a hoarse voice, like the sound of sandpaper grinding the bottom of a pot.
"It's okay, you just take care of it. Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal. Old man Xu comforted his old wife.
After all, it's been a lifetime, and those who share weal and sorrow together, say that they don't worry about Mrs. Xu, Old Man Xu is really not that kind of person.
"Dad, take a step to speak." Xu Quan, Xu Yuan is pondering in his heart.
It's not good.
The old man glanced at the old lady and followed them to the outhouse.
"What's wrong?"
"Dad, we don't think it's right, think about it, my mother's body has always been good, and she is not acute, how can she choke, she choked when she choked, and she was smashed by a wooden ladder, and now it is on fire again, and my son suspects that it has something to do with Brother An." Xu Quan was no less than Xu Yuan thought, but he had experienced it himself, and at that time he suspected that he was really picked up by the Silkworm God Niangniang.
Now this pile is one by one, and it looks unusual.
"What do you mean......"
The old man didn't talk nonsense this time, and he was also playing drums in his heart.
Don't dare to talk nonsense.
"I think you'd better ask your mother, how did she say it to Brother An, if she said anything cruel, maybe there will be this one." Before Xu Yuan could report the news, he was caught by the fire.
This time, too, they were anxious.
All of a sudden, most of the Xu family's dry cocoons this year have gone, and if they meet so many times, the Xu family will be finished.
At this time, Xu Yuan felt that it was 100% Lu Jian'an, and the silkworm god Niangniang cleaned up those blindless bastards for her disciples.
Old Man Xu thought for a while, "Let's go, you guys go and listen too." ”
Some of the six gods have no master.
The old man didn't want that, but he was afraid.
This time it's on fire, if there are others, then the Xu family can stand a few tosses.
Three people entered the house.
The old man sat in front of Mrs. Xu's bed.
"Old woman, you go to see Brother An, what did Brother An say?"
Mrs. Xu stared weakly! It's time! I'm going to run out of gas, but the old man and his sons are still concerned about the silk reeling craft, this is not poking her heart alive.
"What else can I say? It's not that what I say is what it is. ”
An angry answer.
"Mother, you'd better say it as it is, this time the things at home are not good because we offended the silkworm god Niangniang, and the silkworm goddess Niangniang is guilty." Xu Quan was anxious.
The Xu family is gone, he hasn't had time to split up, the Xu family is gone, what hope does he have.
"Second child, what's the matter with you? Your mother is like this, you still care about that Brother An, you want your mother to die. ”
The old lady was not happy.
"Old woman, tell me quickly, there are so many big things happening in the family! You don't want your home to be broken! "The old man doesn't feel right.
Old Mrs. Xu stopped talking.
Don't say whether you live or die! Say what! said that Lu Jian'an threatened her with an old woman.
There was a loud bang outside.
Everyone in the room was shocked.
When I went out, I was stunned to see that half of the wing room on the right had collapsed, and a good house had collapsed by more than half, which frightened Xu Quan's heart.
It was the house of the two of them, and if they hadn't come out just now, the half that had collapsed now would have been enough for one or two people to die.
The people of the Xu family are stupid.
