Before turning into the path of the ancestral hall, I suddenly heard someone shouting:
"on fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang loudly at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
The sharp ringing of the bell immediately broke the tranquility of the night.
Several of us also walked towards the left wall.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, flames were slowly rising along with billowing smoke.
Before reaching the fence, Lao Hei and Tietou had already arrived at the preset location.
The two of them were here in advance to take care of Xiaoduo and Zhong Rui in case something unexpected happened.
"Are they two out?"
I asked quickly.
Before Lao Hei could answer, he saw two black figures emerging from the wall.
The two of them jumped up and landed on the ground nimbly and easily.
"The front hall and the back yard were set on fire, and two barrels of gasoline were doused with it. By the time they come to put out the fire, they will all be burnt down..."
Xiaoduo looked at the fire and explained to me in relief.
At this moment, there were waves of exclamations and chaotic footsteps coming from the surrounding alleys.
I took a look and said hurriedly:
"There are too many people, and the target is too big. Go to the left and right alleys! There are few people on the right side, so Xiaoduo and you guys go to the right alley. We go to the left alley!"
As soon as we finished talking, we separated and left.
As soon as I entered the alley, I saw groups of villagers running towards the fire.
But we were going in the opposite direction to them, and rushing out would definitely arouse people's suspicion.
Mr. Hong knew this truth very well. He stood on the bluestone steps nearby.
He waved his right hand, covered his mouth with his left hand, and said loudly:
"If you smoke too much, you might get poisoned. Find something to cover your mouth!"
When he shouted, many people immediately tried to cover their mouths and noses.
Some use hands and some use clothes.
Mr. Hong continued to shout:
"If you don't have anything, don't go in yet. There is a fire extinguisher in the courtyard, or you can find a water source nearby. It's useless, but it will hinder others from putting out the fire..."
As he spoke, he grabbed a half-grown child who was running inside.
He kicked his ass and said cursingly:
"Go back and get the fire extinguisher!"
Master Hong's command had immediate effect.
Some villagers who had nothing in their hands immediately turned around and returned the same way.
At this moment, the whole alley was in chaos.
Some are running out and some are going in.
We blended in with the crowd and ran outside.
Seeing that we were about to reach the entrance of the alley, Master Hong immediately said to me softly:
"At eight o'clock, Liu Zhicai is here..."
I glanced through the crowd.
Sure enough, at this moment, Liu Zhicai was leading others, nervously looking in the direction of the ancestral hall.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Liu Zhicai roared loudly.
Unfortunately, his voice was drowned in the thick smoke, and no one paid any attention to him.
I lowered my head and hurriedly walked in the direction of the car.
Just as I was walking forward, I suddenly saw a hurried villager next to me. He turned around and cursed:
"Are you fucking blind? You stepped on my shoe..."
The entrance to the alley is the most crowded place, so this is not a big deal.
But then, a familiar voice came out.
"I, I, I don't fucking do it on purpose. Are you calling me your mother?"
As soon as the words came out, I couldn't help but frown.
Fortunately, the sound was not loud and did not attract Liu Zhicai's attention.
I just wanted to remind the mute, but I didn't expect that this villager was also grumpy.
He stared at the mute and shouted:
"When did a stutter come to our village? Where are you from? Are you from the fields or from the fields? I think you are the one who started this fire, right?"
As soon as the words came out, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
The people next to him looked at the mute in surprise.
The mute's lips trembled, wanting to say something, but he still held back.
Just as he was about to leave, the villager immediately shouted:
"Let me ask you, where are you from?"
The fire in the distance illuminated the entire sky like sunset.
Billowing smoke drifted through the crowd.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
No one spoke, no one moved.
Everyone was staring at the mute.
"what happened?"
Liu Zhicai separated from the crowd and walked towards the mute.
Seeing that he was about to reach the mute, he asked as he walked:
"Who are you? Why do you look familiar to me?"
The mute stood there, motionless.
At this moment, he didn't dare to speak again.
We had dealt with Liu Zhicai, and he knew that there was a stutter in my life.
"I'm asking you something!"
There was a terrifying anger in Liu Zhicai's eyes.
It felt like I wanted to pierce my silence with my eyes.
Seeing that Liu Zhicai was about to come over, the mute suddenly glared and cursed:
"I, I, I am your father!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the collar of the man next to him.
With a fierce tug, he was pulled in front of himself.
Then, he raised his foot and kicked the man in the abdomen.
The man immediately fell towards Liu Zhicai. Liu Zhicai could not retreat and had to catch the man forcefully.
At the same time, the mute pulled towards the waist.
A rusty sickle appeared in his hand.
The sickle swung left and right in mid-air, and the people around him were so frightened that they immediately backed away.
The sickle was in full swing, and the mute's mouth was not idle either. He shouted:
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!"
The mute sounded like he was talking about the people around him.
