Chapter 367: Walking the Water
Fan Li listened to Wen Chong's words, lowered his head, and did not speak.
"Do you think she will choose you as unswervingly as you do?" Seeing this, Wen asked openly.
"No need to ask." Fan Li looked at Wen Chong: "Young birds, just think it's for me." Only this once. As he spoke, his expression was like a wave of ancient pools, which made people unable to see clearly and could not find through.
Wen Chong looked at Fan Li, his face was incomprehensible.
Fan Li tilted his head slightly and looked at the tung oil lamp lit in the room. The wick swayed, and the fire flickered.
His voice was long, with indescribable emotion: "In this life, I only ask her alone." ”
Even though it's hard to understand, but when I hear my friends say this, it's not easy to say anything. The grace of saving lives is treated like this, and it is also regarded as a person with the most affection. Wen Chong sighed for a long time, with regret and sadness, and said, "That's it, it's up to you once."
Let the Zheng family girl go.
I'll write to the king early tomorrow morning. ”
When Fan Li heard this, he smiled and thanked Wen Chong.
The two of them were talking about something else, and were about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, when they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside. Someone in the courtyard got up and walked hurriedly.
Wen Chong and Fan Li glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Wen Chong got up, walked to the door, picked up the deadbolt, and pulled the door open. The inner chief was wearing a simple coat and walked outside. When he walked into the courtyard and saw Wen Chong again, he quickly stopped, bent down and bowed to Wen Chong, looking respectful and anxious: "Doctor Wen is resting, something happened in the village." I'll go back as soon as I go. ”
"What's wrong?" Wen Chong couldn't help but ask.
"Every family in the village has run out of water, I'll go and see." There was unconcealed anxiety in the governor's voice.
"Gone out of the water?" Wen Chong exclaimed: "I'll go with you." ”
As he spoke, he put on a coat and walked out with the chief.
That night, the news of the Shi family in the East Village going out of the water spread far and wide. It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the weather was dry, making it easy to catch fire. And the wind is strong at night, once the fire is not rainy, the wind will fly with the sparks, and it will burn wherever it falls.
It could burn down the entire village.
So the whole East Village became agitated.
……
……
In contrast, the West Village, which is separated by a few fields and a river, is much quieter. But a strong man got up and went over to help put out the fire.
Shi Yiguang, who lives in the West Village, quickly wakes up in the faint noise.
When I woke up, I heard someone banging loudly on the courtyard door and shouting my father's name.
Shi's mother and Shi's father were woken up in a daze, pushed open the door and walked out, looking at the comer. Before asking, he heard the humanitarian: "Uncle Shi's aunt, go to the East Village!" Dong Shi's house caught fire and burned several houses in a row! ”
Shi Yiguang's body stiffened as he lay on the bed.
Shi's mother and Shi's father were so shocked that they ran out before they even had time to approve their clothes.
Shi Yiguang pushed open the door and hurriedly walked out, but was stopped by Shi's mother, and her voice trembled urgently: "Guang'er, you are guarding your brother at home." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly followed Shi's father, who had already run away.
Shi Yiguang stood in the courtyard, looking at the group of people who came in a hurry and went in a hurry. Frowning, he turned around and went back to the house in an instant, holding the sleeping Shi Yihua in his arms and hurriedly following.
She was still late.
The flames burned down several houses in quick succession. When Shi Yiguang arrived, the fire had been controlled, and the fire would not be extinguished. Fortunately, several surrounding families discovered the fire early in the morning and escaped. It's just that the Dong Shi family that caught fire was not so lucky.
Dong Shi Niang was out of gas when she was rescued. Dong Shi still had a breath, but he was still unconscious.
Shi Yiguang hugged Ban'er to see Dong Shi, who was still breathing, she was lying in Shi's mother's arms, her eyes closed. That originally beautiful and moving face was burned with blood. The red lips were swollen and deformed. There was a lot of exposed skin in the summer, and her exposed skin was all burned.
Shi's mother kept crying while holding the unconscious Dong Shi, and there was a doctor next to her.
"Don't shed tears. The tears falling on her wounds were the trouble. The doctor instructed.
When Shi's mother heard this, she quickly covered her mouth and cried, constantly wiping her tears: "Doctor, can my niece still live?" ”
"It's hard to say if you can survive or not." The doctor said: "It depends on whether you can wake up in the next two days." If I can't wake up, I don't have a problem. ”
When Shi's mother heard this, the louder she cried.
Shi Yiguang looked at Dong Shi and felt uncomfortable for a while.
"How did this fire start?" Shi Yiguang raised his head and asked Li Zheng next to him.
Shi Yiguang is the master of the village anyway, and Li Zheng still has to give two points of face. So he sighed and said, "Dong Shi and her mother slept late at night, and lit tung oil lamps at night. When a villager who returned late passed by, the two of them were arguing in the house, and they didn't know what to say. Just like that, he knocked over the oil lamp. ”
Dong Shi supported the family alone, and the sick and weak old mother was just a burden, and there was no man in the family. Dong Shi had a heart disease, and he couldn't do tiring work to make money, and his family was very poor.
Unlike Shi Yiguang's adobe house, their house is made of planks and thatch. Once in oil, then in fire. It's almost gone.
But because it was made of planks and thatch, it was very easy to escape. Shi Yiguang looked at the ruins that were burned into ashes in front of him suspiciously.
Since the two were arguing when the fire caught light, they never slept. How did you not escape? Shi Yiguang looked at Li Zheng and asked again.
The lieutenant sighed again, with regret: "When the fire broke out, Dong Shi wanted to rescue her mother, but her mother was hit by a falling beam. Dong Shi dragged her mother's body out.
The fire is so big, how can there be room for people to stay in it for so long. That's what the neighbor looked like when he rescued the two. ”
Shi Yiguang looked at Dong Shi who was still unconscious with a calm face. frowned. Although Dong Shi's mother is sick and weak, she is not lame. You can still walk around. It takes a certain amount of time to burn the beams.
What the hell are the two of them arguing about, they don't want their lives.
Wen Chong has been standing next to Lizheng, looking at Shi Bing'er lying in Shi's mother's arms, with a worried face.
"Lijun, if there is nothing to do here, I will go back first." The genre is facing the right way.
Li Zheng responded.
Wen Chong turned and left.
Back at the residence, Fan Li's house had not yet turned off the lights. Wen Chong knocked on the door, and Fan Li opened the door from the inside. looked at him with a serious face.
"What's wrong?" Fan Li leaned sideways and let Wen Chong in.
Wen Chong strode in, took off his coat, sat down at the table, and took a sip of tea.
Fan Li sat on the ground opposite him, waiting quietly, and did not urge.
Putting down the teacup, Wen Chong looked at Fan Li and said, "Young uncle, that Xi Shi, I'm afraid I must go." ”
