Zhangmutou Village.

A small village less than 80 kilometers away from Qingyang, there are about more than 200 households in the village, similar to other villages, the village's economic source is not far from Qingyang to do some odd jobs, with the vigorous development of the real estate market in recent years, the village people go to the city to work gradually more, of course, there are some lazy people have been lying at home, unwilling to enter the city, guarding a few acres of thin fields, living a poor and hard life.

In the middle and early April of each year, the hard-working countrymen have planted corn in the field, and then bid farewell to their wives and children, and return to the city to work.

This year has just passed the middle of the year, Zhangmutou Village is a lot quieter than usual, most of the men in the village are gone, and the daughters-in-law who are left behind are also a lot quieter, turning off the lights and going to bed as soon as it gets dark, on the one hand, they are also worried about the remaining idlers in the village harassing themselves.

A small shop was opened in the middle of the village, and the house next to the shop was also cleaned up by the boss, and now there are more and more mothers-in-law who play mahjong in the village, and the boss who plays the abacus shrewdly bought a few mahjong machines, put them in the house, and can also charge a few tens of yuan every day.

Today's income is good, the three mahjong machines are full, the boss is thinking about whether to squeeze the place, a mahjong machine, less than half a year to recover the cost, the rest is their own profits, these old ladies who have nothing to do at home also have money in their hands, do not earn their earners.

He was sitting bored at the counter looking at the stars in a daze, when suddenly a light not far away attracted his attention, and he didn't see it clearly at first, and after a while, a shrill scream overshadowed the sound of playing mahjong.

"It's on fire, hurry up and put out the fire."

The voice is the order, and the mahjong players have put down the cards and rushed out, seeing the direction of the fire to judge which family started the fire.

Finally, a woman guessed suspiciously, "Is this Lao Niu's house on fire?" ”

They are all people from a village, naturally familiar with the location of each family, just late at night can not see clearly, as soon as I heard someone say this, I immediately gave the right number, but it is not the old cow's family, the family has entered the city, but I don't know how to catch fire in the middle of the night.

The fire became ferocious and abnormal from the moment it first came, and the villagers called 119, and when the police car came, the big guys were not idle, and they found pots and buckets that could hold water, and poured them on the fire.

It's just that compared to this fire, this water is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, and it only slightly eases the momentum of the fire, but it does not play any other role.

People also noticed strange things here, the fire started from the firewood pile piled up outside the wall of Niu's house, it looked very big, but in fact it could not even affect the neighbor's house next door, and the most puzzling thing is that the outside has become like this, but the house of Lao Niu's house is quiet, but Lao Niu's wife Zhang Cuihua has not come out, which is very incomprehensible.

In less than half an hour, the fire truck from the city rushed over, the huge water dragon came out, these rootless fires naturally extinguished quickly, although the fire was extinguished, but the matter was not over, the captain of the team naturally wanted to find out the family education of the people, but these are some villagers in the village to help extinguish the fire, but the people of the Niu family still did not come out.

Rural people are also real, as soon as they saw that they couldn't find the people of the Niu family, someone volunteered to stand up, climbed up from the courtyard wall, leaned on the window of the Niu family and knocked hard, and shouted Zhang Cuihua's name loudly in his mouth, but he shouted from the east house to the west house, and no one paid attention to him at all, is there no one in this family?

There is also this possibility, Zhang Cuihua is very famous in the village, the old man is not at home as an adult, which naturally creates a convenient opportunity for her, and the idlers in the village basically have such a leg with her, it is estimated that I don't know whose house to sleep in tonight, and I don't even know that there is a fire in my own house.

I couldn't find the owner, and the fire brigade had no choice, so I had to tell everyone a few words about the importance of fire prevention, and the most important thing was to let the neighbors notify the family, and go to the fire brigade to accept the treatment after returning.

The fire engine was gone, and the firefighters dispersed, leaving only the silent courtyard and perhaps the people in the courtyard.

The countrymen are much more diligent, lazy and less, when the day is just dawning, someone has already gotten up from the bed, worked in the field, prepared pig food, and started a busy day, not far from Niu's house, it is a cousin of Zhang Cuihua's house, she also went to the fire last night, and she began to feel a little puzzled, why didn't Zhang Cuihua come out to fight the fire, and everyone said this later, she also realized that her sister might not be at home, and she didn't know where to steal the man, she told her many times about this, and she didn't go to her heart, If Niu Er knew about this, the stupid man would have to find someone to go desperately.

After all, she is also a cousin, Zhang Cuizhen still can't rest assured that her sister, and rushed over early in the morning, the house is still that house, the courtyard wall that was burned by the fire was pitch black, and even the yard was burned down a lot, it seems that Cuihua has not come back yet, Zhang Cuizhen jumped in from the wall unwillingly, thinking about whether her sister was at home yesterday, it is estimated that there are other men in the house, so she didn't come out to open the door, if you are caught by yourself today, you must tell her well, Life can't go on like this.

Zhang Cuizhen first looked at the West House, this is the house where Zhang Cuihua's children live, the curtains of the house are very tight, and she didn't see anything at all, and then Zhang Cuizhen turned to the West House, this back is to see that the curtains showed a little gap, Zhang Cuizhen looked along the window crack, and at first she didn't see anything, just when she turned around to look at the other side, suddenly a red trace came into her eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted to what she was looking at, Then a sound like killing a pig sounded in Zhangmutou Village.

"Murdered!"

The time of departure is getting closer and closer, Xia Zhiqing is busy, she has to continue to study English courses, she has to apply for a visa, and the application for her resignation has also been handed over, there is no problem in passing, and it is Gao Hongqi who asked him to choose another person from the first team to be the captain, which is embarrassing to Xia Zhiqing, who has fought together, and who to choose is really difficult for her.

Since the report, the days have been much more leisurely, in the past, Wang Dong got up early to buy breakfast, but now he has changed to himself, the rooms of the two people have long been moved together, and it is much more convenient to do anything, and the feeling of home is getting stronger and stronger, Xia Zhiqing now regrets why she agreed to go to the UK, just stay in Qingyang, or Yanjing, the two of them are not better together than anything else.

As soon as breakfast was put on the table, I saw Wang Dong rushing out of the bedroom in a hurry, and the first thing Xia Zhiqing said was: "Something happened." ”
