The flames lit up in the dark night, and the sound of wood crackling was especially obvious in the quiet night, and the surrounding villagers woke up one after another.

"Fight the fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" The men hurriedly put on their clothes and ran into the cooking place, carrying basins of water and rushing to Zhao Liang's house - there was a lot of wood in the mountain village, and the family was on fire, and it was likely that the family was implicated.

At this time, Huo Ran had already entered the night lightly.

One of her purposes has already been accomplished, and it does not have to stay.

"Lan Xin, you're back!" When the sky was bright, Wu Yun saw Huo Ran who had returned.

"Let's get out as soon as possible, we need to move to a more secluded place, and then we will drive into the city at night." Huo Ran made a quick decision.

Wu Yun remembered Huo Ran's instructions yesterday: "Why are you in such a hurry? Will anyone find out if it's daytime? ”

Huo Ran smiled through his teeth: "Some unexpected circumstances have happened. Zhao Liang's house is on fire, and now they are busy fighting the fire, and they can't take care of us, but they must soon find out about Liu Zhu'er. ”

"Liu Zhu'er?" Thinking that Huo Ran was not an ordinary person, Wu Yun had a guess in his heart. She quickly woke up Nan Nan, who was still sleeping.

"Nan Nan, Aunt Wu will take you home."

Nan Nan's little hand rubbing her eyes suddenly stopped, her big eyes blinked, and she said hesitantly: "But mom is so far away." ”

Wu Yun rubbed Nan Nan's little head: "Nan Nan, don't worry, let's eat something on Aunt Wu's back!" We're going to hurry up."

Wu Yun squatted down, Nan Nan was just about to climb up, Huo Ran walked over: "Let's do it with me!" Sister Yun, you carry food on your back. We're going to have to go a long way, I'm afraid we'll have to walk all night! ”

"Thank you." Wu Yun was not reckless, knowing that his physical strength was indeed inferior to Huo Ran, he opened the small pocket that Huo Ran opened last night and took out a piece of dry food and a small water bag and stuffed it into Nan Nan's hand: "Eat, Nan Nan." ”

Nan Nan looked at the full small pocket and swallowed it in a big gulp.

"Ahem, cough, cough" Nan Nan suddenly opened her mouth and coughed loudly.

"Nan Nan drink saliva first." Huo Ran skillfully patted Nan Nan on the back twice, and explained to Wu Yun, who was worried on the side, "The child is too hungry. ”

Wu Yun's eyes were slightly wet, Nan Nan, this child was too sensible, he knew that there was nothing to eat, and he rejected her very obediently every time, fortunately he met Lan Xin, otherwise if it was really ruined, how unfortunate it would be.

The three of them simply ate a few things and started on their way.

In the small mountain village, after a night of hard work, the fire was finally extinguished.

"Village chief, village chief—" A panicked voice came faintly.

Village Chief Zhao was on crutches, his face was gloomy, this time the three families in the village were in trouble, fortunately they woke up in time, except for Zhao Liang, Zhou Laosan, and Zhang Cuicui, everyone else was fine.

"What's the matter?"

"Village chief, Liu Zhu'er is dead!" The person who came was Liu Zhu'er's neighbor, Liu Zhu'er always got up early and loved to sing in the yard, but he didn't come to help put out the fire today, and he didn't hear a sound in the morning, so he went to Liu Zhu'er's house, but he didn't expect to see Liu Zhu'er's body.

Village Chief Zhao knocked on the ground heavily: "Who is so bold?" By the way, what about the girl film that Liu Zhuer bought? ”

"Ran away." Liu Zhu'er's neighbor said, "I asked on the way here, but no one has seen it." ”

"Who else didn't last night? See for yourself if your neighbors are there? Village Chief Zhao was even more angry, this was someone challenging his authority.

"Village chief, the two sons didn't come." Someone in the crowd replied loudly.

"Zhao Qiang? Find two people to go over and have a look. Village Chief Zhao sat on a stone brought by a villager: "And go and see how the fire in Liangzi's house burns." Even if you are not careful, it will not burn so quickly. ”

The mountain village is not too big, but in half an hour, the people who left to check on Zhao Qiang helped Zhao Qiang, and the pregnant woman came back.

Zhao Qiang had anger on his face, and he couldn't stop scolding: "The white-eyed wolf raised by the son of a bitch actually dares to eat inside and out!" Stinky bitch, slut. The pregnant woman on the side had a visible slap mark on her face.

"Qiangzi, where did you go last night?" Village Chief Zhao asked.

"Village Chief, you have to make the decision for me!" Zhao Qiang howled: "Village chief, last night that new goods from Liangzi's house came to my house, almost killed me, and knocked me unconscious. ”

Village Chief Zhao looked inquiringly at the two people who brought Zhao Qiang and his wife.

The man with a black and gray face spoke: "When we just went, the strong woman was gagged and tied up, and the strong son didn't wake up, so I loosened the tie and woke up the strong son." ”

"You, hurry up and tell the village chief what you see?" Zhao Qiang kicked the pregnant woman: "Slut, it's really disobedient, don't think that if you are pregnant with my seed, you can be in charge!" ”

The pregnant woman hurriedly covered her stomach with her hands, leaned forward and took a few steps to stabilize her body.

She smiled flatteringly at the village chief, but in exchange for indifferent eyes, and then looked at the men around her, almost the same coldness. Here, she was never a person, just a cargo, a tool for inheritance, and the pregnant woman was more aware of it than ever before.

"Village chief, I got up last night and saw two strange women fleeing, I wanted to call at that time, there was a woman who was too fast, and she took a knife and slashed at my neck, and I couldn't help it." The pregnant woman explained everything she had seen last night.

"Smack!" Zhao Qiang walked over and slapped the woman with a slap: "What's too fast?" Did you deliberately let them go? Slut, do you still want to go? ”

"I didn't, I didn't." The pregnant woman didn't dare to dodge, but explained in a low voice: "She was really too fast, and as soon as she turned over, she went into the yard-"

"You still said no-" Zhao Qiang raised his slap and was about to make a move.

Village Chief Zhao coughed: "Okay, Qiangzi, you have a daughter-in-law, and you can be regarded as a member of our Zhaojia Village." Don't do it all the time, women still have to hurt, look at how sensible your daughter-in-law is, how many newcomers have been persuaded to marry without making noise? Your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so take him back first! ”

"Uncle, Ryoko, and Wednesday was burned alive." The two men who had gone to examine the body walked over with a calm face.

"How do you see that?"

"They have cigarettes in their throats, they should have inhaled it when they were alive, and Zhang Cuicui's has long been dead. No other people's bodies were found, and it seems that the two goods did it. Uncle, why don't we call the police? One of them suggested.

Another person who went to check said indignantly: "Yes, the village chief should not call the police, I went to see, there is still unburned oil on the burning ground, these are four lives."

"You can't call the police." Village Chief Zhao glanced at the men around him: "Your women, although they are honest now, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have ideas in their hearts, in case the police enter the mountain, don't go down to the ground today, according to the previous method, search the mountain!" ”
