Chapter 62: Misfortune (Part II)
If there is fire oil, someone must have deliberately set it on fire!
The two glanced at each other, and ran towards the wall with Yang Shi and Qiuqiu very tacitly, and the black big tooth followed behind the two.
There is a ladder standing next to the wall, which is a bamboo ladder made by the Chen family father and son for convenient work.
This wall is separated from Lao Yang's house, and there is oil on the wall, and the tongue of fire licks the courtyard wall in the blink of an eye, and the bamboo ladder is also lit.
How did the fire oil on this wall come from, you don't need to think about it to know, it must have something to do with the old Yang family.
It's just that at this time, it's important to run for your life.
Yang Mu was quick-eyed, dragged the bamboo ladder down, quickly tore off the wet sheets drying in the yard, and wiped off the fire oil.
The sheets were washed at night by Mu Darou and were still wet.
Mu Dalang quickly covered Yang Shi with wet sheets, his eyes were fixed on Yang Mu's movements, just afraid that the tongue of fire would burn her middle clothes.
Yang Shishi, who was asleep, was awakened by the clammy sheets, and looked at everything in front of him in a daze, unable to distinguish whether it was in a dream or in reality.
Yang Mu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the bamboo ladder was not burned out and could still be used.
Mu Dalang helped Yang Mu carry the bamboo ladder to the wall separated from Aunt Wang's house, which had no fire oil, so it had not yet burned.
He handed the Yang stone in his hand to Yang Mu and urged: "Go! ”
Yang Mu was stunned, compared to Mu Dalang, who was weak, she should be the one after the break.
Mu Dalang pushed her and said, "What are you in a daze?" Wake up Aunt Wang's house! ”
Time was urgent, Yang Mu didn't want to pull, and immediately climbed the ladder and shouted loudly to the opposite side of the wall: "Aunt Wang, it's on fire!" ”
Mu Dalang bent down to pick up the ball and reminded: "Call Uncle Zhou!" He's a good hearing! ”
People who can't see with their eyes have more dexterous ears than ordinary people.
Yang Mu shouted loudly again: "Blind Zhou! ”
Mu Dalang, who had just stepped on the ladder, almost slipped down, is there such a thing?
"Blind Zhou!"
Yang Mu shouted loudly, she was afraid that she would not wake up if she called "Uncle Zhou", so she called Zhou Blind.
The blind man in the house heard someone calling him, but the voice was like Yang Mu's, and he couldn't help but feel that he was dreaming.
Mu Yatou has such a good relationship with him, so he won't call him Zhou Blind!
It wasn't until Yang Mu called for the second time that he was sure that it was really Mu Yatou who was calling him.
Yang Mu climbed up the wall and shouted loudly at the courtyard of Aunt Wang's house: "It's on fire!" ”
When the blind man heard this, a spirit suddenly sat up and vigorously pushed his wife beside him.
"it, wake up, Mu Yatou is on fire!"
Mu Dalang pushed Yang Mu up the ladder with one hand, frowning and looking at the mottled fire oil on the ground, these are all fire primers, and soon the tongue of fire will engulf this courtyard.
He climbed up the ladder with Qiuqiu and big black teeth in his arms, and draped the two little ones who were shivering with fear over wet sheets.
He was weak, and it was very difficult to hold two little ones who were as heavy as stones.
As if he was chasing Mu Dalang, as soon as his feet left the ground, the tongue of fire jumped over and began to burn the bamboo ladder.
The bamboo ladder was burned by the heat, making a "crackling" sound.
The flames were so high that they hit Mu Dalang's trouser legs.
Cotton cloth is the most flammable and burns quickly.
Yang Mu sat on the wall and urged: "The fire is spreading, you hurry up!" ”
Mu Dalang handed the ball to Yang Mu, quickly climbed the ladder, strode and sat on the wall, untied the wet sheet on the black big tooth, and wrapped his calves.
The flames were extinguished in an instant, but the trouser leg was half burned, and the exposed skin was obviously burned.
And he moved too much, and the wet sheets brought the bamboo ladder down.
The bamboo ladder fell straight into the fire-like courtyard, splashing foot-high sparks.
Finally, Aunt Wang put on her clothes and came out of the house.
Under the moonlight and firelight, Yang Mu saw Aunt Wang and shouted busily.
"Auntie, ladder!"
This wall is a foot high, Yang Mu can jump off it himself, but with Yang Shi and Qiuqiu in his hands, it is best to have a ladder. Besides, Mu Dalang injured his leg, and he definitely couldn't jump.
When Aunt Wang saw the firelight, she panicked, heard Yang Mu say that she wanted a ladder, and hurriedly went to her firewood room to find a ladder.
In the gap between Aunt Wang's search for a ladder, Yang Mu saw the burns on Mu Dalang's calf.
"Your legs!"
Mu Dalang's expression was normal, and he said, "It's okay!" ”
Yang Shi finally came back to his senses at this time, looked at his sister with a panicked expression, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, are we going to die?" ”
Yang Mu said in a firm tone: "No!" ”
Yang Shishi watched the newly built home being engulfed in flames, and his eyes were full of tears. Little people also know that without a home, there is no place to live.
Yang Mu pondered and gave the ball to Mu Dalang to hold first, and jumped down with Yang Shi in his arms.
But as soon as her hand holding Qiuqiu moved, Mu Dalang snatched Qiuqiu over, and looked at Yang Mu warningly, saying, "It's still a child, don't hit its idea!" ”
The corners of Yang Mu's mouth twitched, she wasn't going to do anything.
"You think I'm going to drop the ball?"
Mu Dalang frowned at her: "Isn't it?" ”
Yang Mu rolled her eyes, she was not the group of people from the old Yang family.
Aunt Wang quickly found a ladder and woke up Zhou Dazhuang and his wife loudly when she passed by Zhou Dazhuang's house.
With the ladder, it was safe, and Yang Mu and Mu Dalang got down the ladder with Yang Shishi, Qiuqiu and Black Big Tooth in their arms.
Aunt Wang hadn't come back to her senses yet, and asked in a panic: "Why did it catch fire?" ”
Mu Dalang dragged his injured leg, put the big black tooth on the ground, and said, "Auntie, first call everyone in the village to put out the fire!" ”
Otherwise, the fire will spread, and I am afraid that it will cause disaster to the whole village.
Zhou Dazhuang came out with his clothes on, and when he heard this, he didn't think about it, so he went out with the big iron basin of the stove room to beat gongs and drums, and called the villagers to put out the fire.
Mu Dalang and Yang Mu looked at each other, and at the same time saw thoughts in each other's eyes.
Mu Dalang: "Since it was deliberately arson, someone must be looking at the wind!" ”
Yang Mu: "No matter who set the fire, since the fire oil was sprinkled in the yard and a net was laid out, how could you rest assured if you didn't see our corpses?" ”
Mu Dalang: "Those who look at the wind will definitely find a high place where they will not expose themselves, but they can also observe us." ”
Yang Mu sneered and said, "I know where it is!" ”
The two of them came and went, talking very quickly, Aunt Wang didn't come back to her senses at all, and saw Yang Mu run out directly.
Yang Mu rushed out of the backyard of Aunt Wang's house, and she went straight to the back mountain, where there was a tall walnut tree!
Who would have thought that after running a few steps, he bumped into a panicked man head-on.
The man was thin, Yang Mu was fast, and the man was instantly knocked out by Yang Mu and fell to the ground.
Yang Mu stepped forward quickly, grabbed the man's shirt, and lifted the man up.
In the middle of the night, the one who wanders outside may be the one who set the fire!
Through the moonlight and flickering firelight, Yang Mu saw the man's appearance clearly.
"Horse three hands?"
