Chapter 78: Out of the Fire
What the old lady Qu said, he doesn't remember anymore, there is that sentence in his head, fire and flood.
Indeed, their village, leaning against the mountain, is windy, especially the yard where the third child lives, there has been a fire, this season there are a lot of children in their thirty and fifty years playing with fire, who doesn't have some firewood in the yard or something, it is really easy to accidentally catch fire.
Of course, if the third watch catches fire in the middle of the night, no one can blame anyone, and burning to death is life.
Old man Qu has a fierce light in his eyes, and for the sake of his son and grandson, he is not afraid of hurting heaven and reason.
Qu Xiaobai and Qu Liancheng sent away the second spicy pot of this month, holding the hot money in their arms, the days are finally rushing, Qu Xiaobai and Qu Liancheng are ready to find someone to build a house in the next two days, while the weather is not cold, start construction now, that is, ten days and half a month, the house can be built, and then the winter will not be guilty, otherwise Qu Xiaobai looked at the leaky wall, and I am afraid that it will not work even if I shrink on the kang in this winter.
It's not necessary to be rich and suffer from yourself, in her previous life, she was not less guilty of being a scumbag, Xing Bing in the cold winter is psychological, she actually forced her to wash her clothes with cold water, the water is really cold, her heart is full of ice ballast, she can't wait to die, let her kneel in the middle of the room in a vest and shorts in the middle of the night, so cold that she wants to die, this is still light.
Now that it is conditional, why do you still lose yourself, Qu Xiaobai decided to live happily, he was cautious in his previous life, he worked every step of the way, and he failed to bring good luck to himself, so why not be arbitrary once in this life.
No matter what kind of Qu family he is, what kind of envy and jealousy of the people in the village, live every day without treating himself badly, this is happiness, who knows what tomorrow will be like, maybe as soon as she opens her eyes, she will arrive at the palace of Hades.
Qu Xiaobai, Qu Xiaojiang and Qu Liancheng discussed the issue of the new house in the middle of the night in the house, and Qu Xiaobai also drew a sketch according to the opinions of Qu Xiaojiang and her father Qu Liancheng, although it was not unsatisfactory, but she had done her best.
Tomorrow is Saturday, so the sisters and brothers slept a little late, and when the lights were about to go out, Qu Xiaobai glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already more than ten o'clock, for them There was no entertainment in these villages, television, mobile phones, newspapers were not popular, and it was already very late to go to bed at half past ten.
The three of them went to bed and fell asleep.
Qu Xiaobai and Qu Xiaojiang were in the same room, but she lay on the bed but did not fall asleep.
Listening to his brother's slight snoring, he felt so satisfied, the three of them in a family can be happily together and now they can build a house, they can finally have a real home of their own, this time they must build a home that belongs to them in the real sense.
Qu Xiaobai was lying there thinking nonsense, but he couldn't sleep with a little excitement.
It's like a pancake again, turning it over and over.
I don't know how long I have been lying down, Qu Xiaobai was already a little vaguely sleepy, and suddenly heard a crackling sound outside the yard, Qu Xiaobai was awakened suddenly, listened carefully, but seemed to have nothing.
Qu Xiaobai closed his eyes, turned over and prepared to continue sleeping.
But soon she smelled the smell of burnt smoke, her eyes opened suddenly, and she sat up, the kang where the two sisters and brothers slept was facing the window, Qu Xiaobai saw at a glance that the entire courtyard wall of their house was billowing with smoke, and the flames were steaming, and even the courtyard gate was surrounded by the fire.
Qu Xiaobai kicked Qu Xiaojiang and shouted next door: "Dad, it's on fire, get up quickly." ”
Qu Xiaojiang had been kicked by his sister and woke up from his dream, not to mention that there was still someone shouting in his ear that it was on fire.
In a panic, Qu Xiaojiang jumped off the kang, picked up the basin at home, and went straight to the kitchen water tank, there were three large tanks under the eaves, thanks to Qu Xiaobai last night who freshly washed the water tank.
Qu Xiaobai tore off his sleeves and dipped them in water, covered his face, and tied a knot at the back of his head. Then hand the rest of the cloth to your brother! Let him tie it, at this time, he is afraid that the fire will not die, and the smoke can smoke people to death.
Qu Liancheng had also run out of the house in a panic.
The three of them looked at the fire, it was surprisingly big, Qu Xiaobai smelled a strong smell of oil, the whole fire had surrounded the wall and the gate, it was strange that it was not burning from one direction, it seemed that the entire courtyard wall and gate were all caught in flames all of a sudden.
Qu Liancheng ran to the gate and wanted to open it, and he only had to rush out of the wall with his two children to be saved.
But now the gate was surrounded by a sea of fire, and the flames were running through the cracks in the door.
To open the door and go out is simply delusional.
Qu Liancheng looked around, Qu Xiaobai picked up the basin, found a rolling pin, and knocked the basin vigorously, if they were here, there was no other way than to wait for death.
Now I can only hope that someone else will save me.
The sound of the basin was like a gong exploding in the silence of the night, waking everyone up from their sleep.
The whole small mountain village was boiling, and the nearest neighbors had already discovered that Qu Liancheng's house was on fire.
Many people with buckets and basins began to rush here to put out the fire.
Zhao Jianjian, the village head, saw that the gate had been engulfed in flames, and shouted anxiously: "There must be someone in the house who has found a way to open up this road, otherwise." The three of them, father and son, had only one way to die. ”
Uncle Shui Tang took a shovel and beckoned to a few men who were familiar with him, "Use a shovel to split the gate on this side, go find a quilt to wet it, and after a while, cover the quilt, rush in and rescue them." ”
A few men did what they said, and they moved quickly.
Uncle Shui Tang smashed the door open in a few clicks, and Uncle Shui Tang picked up the wet quilt and draped it over his body, rushed through the sea of fire with his head covered, and rushed into the courtyard.
In the yard, Qu Xiaobai has also soaked the quilt at home in the water tank. One person was covered with a wet quilt, the door was split, and as soon as Uncle Shui Tang rushed in, the three of them had already arrived at Uncle Shui Tang as soon as possible.
Shui Tang nodded with satisfaction, it seems that Qu Liancheng still has a brain, and it saves a lot of effort to know what to do, so he picked up Qu Xiaojiang, the child is too small, and he is afraid that he will not be able to run with the wet quilt.
"Rushing out under the quilt, hurry up, I see that the gate of your house is about to fall, and this wall is probably going to collapse." After Uncle Shui Tang explained, he rushed out.
Qu Liancheng grabbed Qu Xiaobai, and the father and daughter rushed out in one breath covered with quilts.
Qu Xiaobai could still smell the temperature of the flame angel on his face, the kind of heat that burned the skin, and the two of them were dragged out by the villagers outside.
Qu Xiaobai almost staggered to be supported by the people, lifted the quilt, and the three of them saw that the entire house had fallen into flames.
Even if you save it now, you can't save it.
