Chapter 30: Revenge
"Crescent girl, look at your brother Yuanbao's greed, crying and arguing and wanting to eat this melon bean in his sister Xinyue's hand, I won't take much, two will be hit." He opened his mouth wide and approached him, reaching for potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Shen Yueyue stuffed the sweet potato in his hand into his mouth, and then pounced in front of the thing to protect it.
"We don't have enough to eat, we want to buy it ourselves."
"You kid, you live in the same village, why do you protect food?"
Seeing that she was unmoved, she turned her head and complained to Mrs. Shen: "Auntie, look at these dead girls, they are going to die, and they are not willing to give anything at all." ”
Mrs. Shen raised her eyelids and said unhurriedly: "Zhao family, if this is usual, it's nothing to give up something, and I am not the one who picks and searches." It's just that there is a famine at the moment, and there is not enough food to eat, and it is inevitable that children will protect their food. You're an elder, so bear a little more. ”
The name of an elder is buckled, and it's really hard to say anything with a wide mouth.
An aunt came over: "Auntie, this thing looks very fragrant, why don't you take a look and sell it to us?" ”
"It's not that the eldest lady doesn't want to give it to you, it's really not much, and besides, they all live in a village, and it's a family, so why are you embarrassed to mention money."
Shen Xinyue was about to applaud Mrs. Shen's words.
Sure enough, the age is here, and it is more thoughtful than these juniors.
If you really want to agree to sell it immediately, what will everyone think of their family? If you bite it to death and don't sell it, it looks too ruthless.
That's the best answer.
Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Shen finished speaking, Shen Shenggen's daughter-in-law answered: "I heard that when Xinyue bought it, it was twenty Wen, and I gave it to twenty Wen after giving up my face, so I gave me a catty and took it back to my family to try it." ”
She got three times the money from selling the tiger's family, and the money she had shared before, and she was willing to pay 20 yuan to buy some food.
So, I couldn't help but say that I stuffed twenty cents into her hand.
Mrs. Shen saw that her eldest granddaughter had not spoken, and knew that she would not object, so she no longer insisted.
Seeing that she had bought sweet potatoes and potatoes, everyone who was still watching suddenly came over.
"Grandma, since you sold it to Uncle Shenggen's family, sell me some too, it's not much, I only need a catty, please."
"Yes, you can't just sell it to their family and not give it to us, if you feel that the food is not enough to eat, I will buy a few catties of rice and exchange it for you?"
I opened my mouth wide and watched everyone scramble to pay, and my nose almost ran out of breath.
"Auntie......"
Seeing that everyone else was going back with sweet potatoes, he opened his mouth wide and hesitated to lean over.
Mrs. Shen didn't do anything before, and said with a smile: "It's nothing for children to be greedy, if you want to buy it, I will share a pound with you." ”
One sentence directly blocked the words that he opened his mouth wide and wanted to beg for.
But when he thought of his son clamoring for food, he finally gritted his teeth and took out ten cents from his arms, and exchanged them for a potato and a sweet potato.
Everyone followed Shen Xinyue's previous example, buried the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fire, and waited until the skin was scorched and took them out to eat.
Because Mrs. Shen reluctantly let it out, everyone not only did not feel uncomfortable, but they were also very grateful.
After eating, the women and children went back to sleep, while the men stayed outside.
As the night wore on, the mountains seemed very silent.
A dozen or so people crept close to the hut and finally stopped behind a patch of grass not far away.
"Big brother, they are there, I'll go over and kill them all." Wang Tieniu said that he was about to go over, but was stopped by Wang Tiehu.
"There are so many of them, there are only a dozen of us left, and we will definitely not be able to beat them if we fight hard."
Wang Tiehu whispered a few words to them, and then they all smiled maliciously.
Shen Xinyue lay on the planks and thick hay, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
When she was sleeping, a hurried cry suddenly came from outside: "Wake up, it's on fire!" ”
Almost subconsciously, she sat up instantly.
I saw a few fires thrown through the doors and windows.
The house was made of wood, and it was full of firewood and hay, and almost in an instant, a fire was ablaze.
"Everyone, get up, it's on fire, hurry, run!" Shen Xinyue turned around and lifted Shen March and Shen Jiyue next to her.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Yingyue also sat up.
People who don't know why are still rubbing their eyes, but when they see the room where the fire is on fire, they suddenly scream in panic.
"Ahem, what's on fire?" Li Guilan subconsciously rushed towards the household goods and grains piled up in the corner.
The first reaction of others is not to run out, but to protect their own food.
Shen Xinyue shouted: "The fire is too big, people's lives are at stake, get out quickly!" ”
Everyone scrambled to run outside, but the first thing to catch up was the wooden door, and the whole wooden house was almost sealed off by a wall of fire.
"What should I do, the doors and windows can't get out at all, what should I do?" The anxious cries of women and children echoed throughout the room.
As the smoke intensified, everyone coughed in pain......
Outside, Shen Dacheng and the others were fighting with Wang Tiehu and them.
The gang slashed at them like crazy with their knives and axes as if they were dying.
"Gui'an, go and save your mother!" Shen Dacheng and the others tried their best to block it, and at the same time shouted loudly with their youngest son.
Shen Gui'an glanced in his father's direction, turned his head and ran towards the burning door.
Unable to care whether the wooden door like a wall of fire would burn him, he wrapped his clothes tightly and slammed it hard.
There was a click, and the door was slammed open.
"Mother, mother, where are you, little sister?" The weather was dry, the fire started quickly and quickly, and the whole house was covered in thick smoke, and it was almost impossible to see.
Shen Xinyue hugged Shen Jiyue and grabbed Shen Yueyue and rushed out of the wooden house, only hurriedly explained to them to stay away, and then turned back.
"Big sister!"
Shen Jiyue screamed in fear, and was pulled by Shen Yueyue behind a big tree in the distance.
"Little sister, you stay here well, the third sister and the eldest sister will go to save people together."
Although Shen Jiyue was afraid, she still nodded in response.
Soon Shen March also rushed into the fire.
Shen Xinyue looked at the invisible smoke in front of her, and the heat of the fire almost swallowed people.
She knew that if she delayed any longer, everyone would probably be burned here.
With her mind racing, she dodged into the space. He quickly took a fire extinguisher from it and dipped it in water and wrapped it in water around his face.
I didn't care if anyone else would see and find it, so I flipped the switch and sprayed it around.
The fire around was much smaller. She also barely saw Mrs. Shen, Shen Yingyue and Shen April who were smoky and fell to the ground.
