Chapter 25 Good people don't live long
"I heard that the Bai Shen Doctor's house, who lives on the outskirts of Qiyun Town, lit a fire, and the fire burned all night, but no one ran out, and the person was probably dead."
The news spread in the nearby towns in just one night.
Someone kept hearing the news and rushed towards the Bai family.
At this moment, the gate of the Bai family was already kneeling with all kinds of people, the number of people was about two or three hundred, but no one dared to step into the gate of the Bai family.
Most of them are patients cured by the Bai family.
The riverbank on the other side of the bridge was also full of people, most of them were townspeople from Qiyun Town, some were townspeople from the next few towns, and some were merchants who traveled to the feet, all of whom came all the way.
But they didn't expect that the Bai family was already in ruins, and they were all full of sighs and sadness.
Doctor Bai is a good person, but it's a pity......
Most of the people kneeling in front of them were covered with fire ash on their faces and bodies, and several of them were directly smoked into black people, their eyes were full of astonishment, and their faces were full of tears, and they took away part of the fire ash on their cheeks, and suddenly their faces were white and black, forming obvious furrows.
They were all the people who rushed to extinguish the fire as soon as they heard the news of the Bai family's fire last night, only to see the wooden barrels in front of them rolling to the ground, and the road to the river was smoothed by them.
But there are so many of them, but they can't save a Bai family.
As soon as the fire broke out last night, the farmers who went home from work in the field found the billowing smoke, and at first they thought it was a mountain fire, so they hurriedly informed Lizheng and called the villagers to extinguish the fire, and by the way, they sent someone to report to the government and send someone to put out the fire.
Autumn has just passed, and the mountains are very dry, and sometimes a thunderstorm will cause a mountain fire, and the fire will become bigger and bigger after a while, showing the trend of burning the prairie more than once.
So the villagers pay special attention to the movement on the mountain,
After everyone arrived in a hurry, they found that it was the Bai family that caught fire, and the fire was soaring to the sky, billowing black smoke, and they did not hesitate to fetch water in the ditch in front of the Bai family's house to fight the fire.
Soon the officers and soldiers also arrived, and began to direct the villagers to fetch water in an orderly manner, and to fight fires, and the division of labor was very clear.
But the fire was very strange, as buckets of water were constantly poured on the gate of the Bai family, the fire was like encountering fire oil, burning bigger and bigger, more and more rapid.
This fire is wicked.
Could it be Skyfire?
Everyone was frightened, and the hands holding the barrels were shaking.
I don't know if I'm scared or angry.
The officers and soldiers couldn't, so they had to drive the villagers who had fallen into shock to the other side of the bridge, and in this way, the group stood all night, watching the fire eat the Bai family's gluttony little by little.
The red gate burned and fell from the ashes, and the carved house collapsed into ruins.
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.
God just doesn't have long eyes.
When the gate of the Bai family fell to the ground, finally a man couldn't help but cry out in pain, squatted down with his head in his arms and cried.
No one knows how powerless he is at the moment, obviously the fire of the Bai family can be saved at the beginning, but he can't extinguish the evil fire.
The Bai family didn't deserve such an ending.
With the sound of crying, everyone couldn't help crying anymore, and several of them pointed to the sky and cursed, why didn't they accept those heinous evildoers, but instead descended the heavenly fire on the Bai family, and did not do anything.
On the other side of the river, a few children of six or seven years old whispered to their adults and explained to their adults that the fire in the Bai family was ignited in an instant, and it was still a blue flame at the beginning, which was very beautiful.
When several adults heard this, they hurriedly covered their children's mouths, and slapped their buttocks to the buttocks.
The miserable cries of the children did not seem abrupt in a burst of sobbing, but were so sad and sad that the foot merchants could not help but wipe their eyes and wet their breasts with tears.
When the people around heard it, it quickly spread, and then it directly evolved into the Bai family provoking the anger of the sky, and God specially sent down the heavenly fire, and the fire burned the Bai family clean.
The white house is a cursed place, it is not suitable to set foot in, and the townspeople of several small towns who have suffered the favor of the Bai family around naturally do not believe it, but for the sake of the family, they do not dare to easily set foot in the white house that has become a ruin.
In the end, several parents died, and the old widower, who had no children and no daughters, stood up against public opinion, entered the white house, and hurriedly brought out the bodies of the Bai family and the others in the main courtyard.
A few people could naturally see where there was an independent courtyard standing in the white house, but no one dared to take a few more looks, let alone mention mentioning and stepping in.
They all knew that it was the courtyard of the little boy of the Bai family, and it was an even more evil existence.
It is very likely that the fire of the Bai family is the fault he incurred.
Although they knew it in their hearts, no one said anything, and they all tacitly agreed to look for the corpse as much as possible, because in their eyes, the Bai family was just the Bai family who was kind to them.
They can't let the Bai family die and be cold, and they can't go peacefully.
Because the corpse had been burned so that it was impossible to see the human appearance, everyone decided to bury everyone in the Bai family, although Bai Saburo was among them.
People are dead, so why should they bother with an eight-year-old child?
Everyone even pulled up oilcloth in front of the ruins of the Bai family, transported dozens of coffins from the town, and built a simple mourning hall.
The people should voluntarily contribute money to let the Bai family rest in peace, and those who have no money will contribute manpower.
The wealthy members of several nearby towns heard the news and also donated a large sum of money, which was led by the most upright and respected old dean of Qiyun Town Academy.
After the county magistrate learned that the Bai family was destroyed because of the news that he was angry, he was afraid that the news of the incident would affect his political performance, so he ordered the funeral of the Bai family not to be done in a big way, and sent officers and soldiers to pull the bodies of the Bai family to a mass grave for burial.
The people who heard the news immediately hurried to the white house and surrounded the white house, not allowing the officers and soldiers to come closer.
There are at least three or four hundred people on the side of the people, and the officers and soldiers do not dare to act rashly, let alone beat people, and these people also include their brothers and parents, who are pointed at their noses and scolded by the villagers who are familiar with each other, and the family members have no face and look at them with disgust.
They looked at each other, and they knew that they had committed public anger, but they only obeyed orders and acted on orders.
So the officers and soldiers also set it up, and symbolically stood somewhere to go, and sent people back to the county government to tell the truth.
In this way, the people and the officers and soldiers were in a stalemate for three days, and they were not allowed to leave the spirits here, and they were not allowed to be dragged away and buried in mass graves.
The corpses of the Bai family stopped in the mourning hall for three days, because the corpses had been charred and did not stink, but the people were afraid of disturbing the souls of Master Bai and Mrs. Bai and delaying their reincarnation, so they were anxious and quarreled with the officers and soldiers.
Several officers and soldiers were beaten in front of several reckless men with blue noses and swollen faces, and they were so angry that they stripped off their "official skins" on the spot, and after cursing a few times for the county lord to "not be a man", they shouted that they wanted to send spirits to everyone in the Bai family together.
Suddenly, a total of thirty coffins were carried up and down the Bai family, one by one, by the villagers, and they were followed by a sea of people, and the crying was earth-shattering.
The Bai family has lived in Qiyun Town for generations, and has been responsible for treating diseases and saving people with medical skills, especially when it comes to the generation of the head of the Bai Qi family, the medical skills are even more rejuvenated, and the pot is used to help the world, and there are countless people who have received his favor.
It's a pity that good people don't have good rewards, and in his generation, the Bai family is out of business.
