Chapter Twenty-Eight: On Fire
The kitchen is all dry firewood for winter, and in less than a minute, the fire burns to the height of more than one person, and the thin stick is almost there, and the cat hides in the corner of the backyard with his waist down, waiting for the opportunity.
Nianzi did a day's work and slept heavily, and when Leng Yue was choked by the smoke, the fire had already burned to her room, "Nianzi, get up quickly, it's on fire, get up quickly." ”
Leng Yue didn't even wear clothes, and dragged Nianzi out of bed barefoot.
Nianzi woke up, because he took a breath violently, he was choked by the smoke and coughed, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Leng Yue couldn't care about it so much, so he picked up Nianzi and ran out of the house.
"Save Daddy and the child." Nianzi said loudly.
Leng Yue was also anxious, put Nianzi in a safe place, and rushed into another room.
The thin stick is really anxious for the owner of this house, the fire is burning to the buttocks, at this time to react, the sleep is too heavy, he has to take a risk for the silver, but it is worth the risk, look at the things in this house, there must be a lot of silver, take the silver, take advantage of the chaos and run away, who knows that he set the fire?
When you go out, you can also get five taels of silver from the fat sister-in-law, the thin stick is happy when you think about it, and when you go out of the house while Leng Yue and Nianzi, the thin stick wets the clothes, and gets into the main house and begins to rummage through the cabinets.
"Dad, get up! It's on fire. Leng Yue shouted while saving Jin'er Xiu'er.
The old man's sleep was very shallow, and the cry of Leng Yue woke up the old man who was sleeping in the innermost room, and the old man got out of bed, got dressed, touched a piece of clothing, and ran out.
Seeing that the fire in the house was about to burn to Jin'er and Xiu'er's room, even the old man rushed into the wing room with fire.
Leng Yue was holding Xiu'er in one hand and Jin'er on his back, and as soon as he turned around, he bumped into the old man Lian who rushed in, and all four of them fell to the ground.
Xiu'er fell in pain, and when she woke up, she cried, but after seeing the fire, she was so frightened that she hid back again and again, coldly read the seven meat and eight vegetables that were hit, didn't care about the pain, and began to look for the child in a panic.
"Jin'er?"
"Mother!" Jin'er pulled Leng Yue's back and responded.
found one, Leng Yue turned around and hugged Jin'er.
Even the old man was dizzy for a while, but in the end, because he was worried about his grandson's life, he managed to get up.
"Ahem, cough ......" smoke poured into his nasal cavity, and even the old man coughed even more.
"Dad, go out quickly, I'll be here here." Leng Yue heard the cough and knew that it was Lian Lao Han who had just bumped into him, so he hurriedly asked him to save himself first, otherwise the more he helped, the more chaotic he became.
"Xiu'er? Embroidery. Leng Yue touched many places, but he didn't touch the embroidery.
"Xiu'er? Embroidery? Leng Yue's screams grew louder and louder.
"Ahem......" Jin'er coughed while covering her nose.
No, if you continue to look for it like this, everyone will be in danger, so let's take Jin'er and Dad out first and then come in to find Xiu'er, Leng Yue picked up Jin'er with one hand and pulled Lian Laohan with the other, but Lian Laohan pushed Leng Yue away and asked: "What about Xiu'er." ”
"Let's go out first."
"No, I'm going to save Xiu'er." Even the old man said stubbornly.
"Dad, I'll come in and save it later, let's make sure one is one first."
"You rescue Jin'er first, and I'll stay here to save Xiu'er." Even the old man said while touching to find the embroiderer.
Leng Yue saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so he made a decision immediately, rushed to the door with Jin'er in his arms, avoided the fire, and kicked open the burning wooden door with his foot.
Nianzi took Jin'er, "What about my father and Xiu'er." ”
"It's still inside."
Leng Yue was so anxious that he was about to rush into the wing room again, but was held by a strong hand, "You stay here to take care of Jin'er, and I'll save people." ”
He's going to save people? How to save?
Without waiting for Leng Yue to speak, Nianzi exerted all his internal strength, slapped his palms, and flew in directly from the window.
Is this light work?
Leng Yue was dumbfounded.
"My house is on fire, come and put out the fire." Before Leng Yue had time to study what kind of kung fu Nianzi had just flown around, Jin'er's cry resounded through the originally quiet night.
The first thing I heard was Aunt Qiu, who was very close to Lian's house, Aunt Qiu heard the scream, got up in a panic, and when she opened the door, she saw the fire in Lian's house, and beat it with a basin, "It's on fire, it's on fire, everyone get up and put out the fire." ”
There was a piercing sound of knocking on the pot, and the people in the village woke up, except for the fat sister-in-law, every household took a bucket with a bucket, and every household took a bucket, and those who took a basin took a basin, and ran to Lianjia with water.
Nianzi found Xiu'er from under the bed before everyone came, "Dad, you hold Xiu'er." ”
"Huh." Lian Laohan obediently hugged the frightened Xiu'er, Nianzi wrapped one hand around Lian Laohan's waist, and with the other hand, he used all his strength, using the true qi in his body, and bounced out of the window again.
"Xiu'er? Where are you hiding? Leng Yue slapped Xiu'er anxiously, cried and cried and hugged Xiu'er into his arms, and cried, "You scared your mother to death, you know?" ”
When the villagers arrived, most of the house was burned, and the weather was dry and dry for the past few days, and the fire could not be controlled, so they could only watch as Lian's house was burned down.
The thin stick rummaged in Leng Yue's room for a long time, and finally found the silver of the Lian family in the box under the bed, and just when he was happy, he was coincidentally knocked out by the hanging beam on the roof, and he was pitifully burned alive into cooked meat.
It wasn't until dawn that the fire in Lian's house was extinguished, but there was not much left, except for the wall, which was all burned to black coal.
The fat sister-in-law came to see the excitement, and saw that Lian's family was burned to ashes, not to mention how cool it was, so that you Shen Fairy was embarrassed in front of her, now it's gone, see if you can turn over in this life?
The house of the village chief is worth fifty taels of silver, even if Shen Fairy sells his body for the rest of his life, he can't pay off the debt, haha...... Seeing Fairy Shen's face in a daze, the fat sister-in-law couldn't wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Leng Yue looked at the squeaky and smoking ruins, his head was blank, and he suddenly thought that Nianzi put the silver in the box under the bed, maybe the silver is still there, the silver is there, this home is gone, it's a big deal to rebuild it.
"Yueniang?" Nianzi didn't know what Leng Yue was going to do when he suddenly ran into the ruins, until he saw Leng Yue frantically moving away things, Nianzi knew what Leng Yue was looking for: "Don't look for it, the silver will melt when it meets fire, and it's long gone." ”
"I don't believe it." The melted silver will condense when it is cold, and it is a big deal to be short.
Even the old man shivered in the cold, his family just happened to be a little bit, and he encountered such a disaster, doing evil, what can I do, how can their family afford the village chief's house, even the old man wiped his tears and cried silently, until he heard the words of the Nianzi, and saw Leng Yue looking for the family's silver, and also ran over to help Leng Yue.
"Ah......" Leng Yue screamed, scaring Lian Laohan.
"What's wrong?"
The people in the village don't know what Nianzi's daughter-in-law found, it can't be silver, right?
A few curious people leaned over to look, and when they saw that several people were also frightened and screamed at the same time.
"There's a dead man!" Someone stepped back again and again, shouting in panic.
How can there be dead people? Even the family is here.
Leng Yue saw the thin stick that was burned into a curl, and the silver stuck into the flesh in his hand, Leng Yue wanted to scold angrily, but he didn't know who to scold, the person who hurt her family had been burned to death, and the dead were the greatest, even if this person did arson in order to steal her family's silver, Leng Yue could only consider himself unlucky.
"Who is this? How could it be burned to death in Nianzi's house? The bold men gathered around the corpse and began to talk.
"Burn like this, who knows."
"I don't think it's from the village, I guess it was a thief who found out that Nianzi's family made some money and made the idea to come here."
"This man is really bad enough, steal it, and set it on fire."
"It's not, it's a self-inflicted sin that can't live, well, the money wasn't stolen, and people were burned to death, and they deserved it."
Regardless of whether he deserved it or not, it was too unfortunate for the corpse to stay in Nianzi's house, so the village chief took a piece of white cloth and gave it to a few men who usually carried the coffin, "Carry the corpse away, since the person is dead, there is no need to report to the official, forget it." ”
"Huh." The four men wrapped the body of the thin stick in a white cloth and moved out of Nian's house.
Wait a minute, find a random place to bury the corpse, the silver on the corpse is considered the hard work of the four of them, and the appearance of the village chief is instructed.
"Nianzi, what do you see here?" The village chief sighed, embarrassed to mention the matter of compensation.
Nianzi was wearing the clothes given to him by the villagers, he was still a little out of breath from the cold, and when he saw the village chief asking him, he smiled bitterly: "Village chief, don't worry, I have craftsmanship, and I will pay for the loss of the house." ”
"It's okay to say, I'm just worried, where do you live now?" The village chief is not afraid that the year will not be compensated, and when he arrives in his village, he, as the village head, should always let the villagers have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
"It's really not good, let's move the temple as a family." Nianzi took a deep breath and said.
"Or live in my house, my house has two rooms, although it is dilapidated, but there is at least a place to shelter from the wind and rain, how to live in the broken temple behind the village, in winter, the wind leaks everywhere, the adults suffer, the two children don't freeze, come to live in my house." Aunt Qiu understands that only when people are in trouble can they understand the value of true feelings.
She has lived in this village for decades, and only Nianzi's family really helped her family, and now that his family is in trouble, it is also the time for her to reach out.
"So be it." Seeing that the matter was settled, the village chief left with his hands behind his back.
The people in the village saw that there was nothing to do, and they dispersed one after another, only the fat sister-in-law was still motionless, she never thought that she let the thin stick go to Lian's house to set a fire, and these two flutes actually put their lives into it, stupid or not?
She promised to give him five taels of silver, and even her family made a little fortune and bought so many things, how much silver can be left? This thin stick is really greedy enough to swallow an elephant, he deserves to die, stupid, he burned himself to death for a little silver.
The fat sister-in-law scolded the dead thin stick in her heart, but it was a pity, where could she find someone who could satisfy her with such a big job as a thin stick? There was no one to wait for her in the future, and the fat sister-in-law felt sad when she thought that she would have to live a widowhood in the future.
"Let's go, fat sister-in-law! What's in a daze? Tie Niu's daughter-in-law walked a few steps, and when she saw that the fat sister-in-law was still standing at home, she came over to pull her.
