Chapter 6: Escape from the Fire
Inside the house, Ye Jinyu was tired for a day and fell asleep deeply.
Although Ye Jinyan was also very tired, he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. I encountered so many bad things on the first day of crossing, what will happen in the future?
Suddenly, there was the sound of even breathing around her, and she smiled lightly. No matter what, someone will finally go with me in the future.
She tucked the corners of the quilt for Ye Jinyu, and then slowly closed her eyes.
After a long time, with a very soft sound outside the house, a smell of tobacco wafted in. Ye Jinyan sniffled and opened his eyes vigilantly.
She got up to inspect it, and there was nothing unusual about the darkness in the room.
However, Ye Jinyan did not let her guard down, she put all her belongings into the baggage in case something unexpected happened.
After that, Ye Jinyan didn't sleep anymore.
After many years as a mercenary, he has long developed a high level of vigilance. As soon as there is a stir, it immediately enters a state of high alert.
A moment later, a flash of fire suddenly lit up in the stove.
Ye Jinyan sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly shook Ye Jinyu vigorously, shouting loudly: "Jinyu, hurry up!" ”
Ye Jinyu rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
"It's on fire." Ye Jinyan didn't care about wearing shoes, carrying a burden in his left hand, and rushing out with his right hand pulling Ye Jinyu.
In a few moments, the fire spread and crackled, and most of the house was drowned in the flames.
Ye Jinyan felt strange in his heart, this fire was inevitably too strange.
"Sister, what will we do in the future?" Ye Jinyu had fully sobered up, and was very worried when she saw the few properties of the two of them burned.
Ye Jinyan stretched out the burden in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I've taken out all our most valuable belongings. ”
"Really? That's great! Ye Jinyu's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Ye Jinyan with some surprise, "However, sister, you seem to have become different." ”
He's not going to see it, is he?
Ye Jinyan couldn't imagine that this younger brother was so smart, she smiled: "I walked out of the ghost gate once, and I also figured out some things. Instead of living a life of resignation, you might as well fight for it. Even if it is death, it is willing. ”
"Sister, I like you like this." Ye Jinyu said softly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, the villagers who rushed over, when they saw this scene, thought that the two sisters and brothers were frightened and confused. The women led them to a distance, and the men were busy carrying water to put out the fire.
After working for a long time, the fire was finally extinguished. But most of the thatched hut was in ashes, and what remained was nothing more than a few charred wooden beams.
In the future, there was no place to shelter from the wind and rain, Ye Jinyan approached the thatched house and sighed in his heart.
Suddenly, she wondered, how did this fire start?
Act of God? She quickly dismissed the possibility. There was no lightning tonight.
Man-made disaster? She clearly remembered that she had put out the fire before she went to bed.
Could it be that someone else set the fire? Who did such a conscientious thing for what?
A series of questions made Ye Jinyan's expression look solemn.
Seeing this, the villagers sympathized with the two siblings. Ye Jinyan finally survived, and suffered this disaster in the middle of the night, how afraid he should be!
At this time, Li Zheng hurriedly ran over, and after learning about the matter, he felt more and more distressed about the sister and brother. He wanted to comfort them, but found that although their faces were ugly, they did not cry.
"If Ye Lao Er knew that the two of you were so strong, you would definitely feel relieved underground."
Ye Jin heard this, turned his head, and smiled reluctantly: "Uncle Lizheng, thank you." ”
Li Zheng looked at the ruined room and said softly, "Good boy, you will go to my house to sleep tonight." We'll see what to do tomorrow, how? ”
"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Lizheng."
Ye Jinyan did not refuse Li Zheng's kindness, after all, she still had Ye Jinyu with her, and this house was indeed not easy to live in for the time being.
"It's all as it should be, you don't have to be polite."
Ye Jinyan took Ye Jinyu's hand and bowed deeply to the villagers, "Thank you elders for saving your lives, Jinyu and I will definitely repay you." ”
The villagers were very moved, they couldn't imagine that this Ye family girl had encountered such a big disaster, and not only survived. And I will thank them, and I like the two of them more and more.
After everyone dispersed, the Ye family sisters and brothers also followed Li Zheng back.
In the early morning of the next day, many villagers had gathered in the small courtyard of the Ye family. They looked at the burned house and sighed, and felt very sorry for the Ye family sisters and brothers.
At this time, Li Zhengcai took Ye Jinyan and Ye Jinyu late.
Coincidentally, Ye Shouren and Jiang came together with Ye Shouli and Hu. Their eyes were full of schadenfreude.
"Lizheng, do you have anything to do with me?" Ye Shouren asked.
Li Zheng said softly, "Jinyan's house has been burned. You are elders, or take them in for a while. ”
"Lizheng, yesterday we were completely separated. If you're taking them in, that's not good!. Ye Shouren's tone was quite polite, but the meaning of his words had already indicated his attitude, and he would never take them in.
Seeing that Ye Shouren couldn't work here, Li Zheng turned his head to look at Ye Shouli, "What about you?" ”
Ye Shouli smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Lizheng, I also want to take care of their sister and brother." However, the girl said clearly that she would break off with us. In that case, I did as she pleased. ”
"Yan Ya is still young and ignorant. Hugh be angry with her. After all, everyone is a family, and if you can help, you can help, what do you think? Rizheng persuaded.
However, neither of the two families answered, and everyone froze there.
Ye Jinyan was very happy, after all, he didn't want to have anything to do with these people. She finally got out. If it weren't for the good intentions in it, she wouldn't be willing to deal with these people.
Suddenly, Ye Shouli saw the bulging burden in Ye Jinyan's hand, and his eyes lit up.
"Li Zheng, it's okay if you let Jin Yan and Jin Yu live with us."
He took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "However, my family is not rich, Wenyuan is not yet a year old, and it is more when it costs money." If they can hand over the money, then the rest will be easier to say. ”
said that Ye Shouli was not so kind, Ye Jinyan finally heard it, he was worried about the property in his hand, so he changed his mind and agreed to take them in.
Suddenly, she smelled a puff of smoke that always felt familiar.
It dawned on me that, yes, I smelled this smoke last night. Look at Ye Shouli's fingers slightly yellow, and his teeth are the same.
It seems that the fire must have something to do with him.
