Rutang woke up from a sweet dream, and her eyes were completely dark.
This kind of darkness was not the kind of darkness at night. It was like his eyes were covered by something. The smell of fire came from outside. Rutang looked at the light outside and woke up completely.
The light outside is fire.
She finally understood why the room was so dark. It was thick smoke!
It's on fire!
Rutang quickly got off the kang and shook her mother awake.
"Oh my god!" Hao Mei was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
The light of fire outside frightened her.
"Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel!" Rutang got two wet towels as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the room was small and the washbasin was in the room. She covered her mouth and nose with the towel and helped Hao up.
Mei walked out.
Hao Mei's leg was already injured, and now her legs were so frightened that she couldn't even use a crutch, so Rutang picked her up and ran out with all her strength.
The bungalow should be easy to escape, but the door seemed to be blocked by something on the outside and could not be pushed open. The fire point was under the only window and could not be opened at all.
The smoke became thicker and thicker, and Hao Mei choked and coughed.
This door is a large iron door, and it would be difficult for Rutang to break open it.
At the critical moment, there was a clanging sound outside and the door opened.
Li Hua rushed in carrying an ax and his hair was on fire!
Her clothes and hair were caught, so she rushed in to save others at great risk!
"Quickly, take your mother out!" Li Hua didn't bother to say anything more, and he and Rutang supported Hao Mei together, and the three of them ran out.
"Hey, hey, the door is ruined like this. This is a door that was brought back from the factory. You can't even buy it!" Zhang Yun's voice came from far away.
Rutang took advantage of the situation and looked over. This greasy old man probably ran out for fear of danger and stood far away, feeling sorry for the door of his lower room.
"What's more important, the person or the family? Shut up!" Li Hua angrily scolded.
The surrounding neighbors also woke up from their sleep and saw the fire. Everyone came over with buckets to help put out the fire.
Zhang Yun stood farther away than anyone else, as if this was not his home and he was afraid of his life.
He didn't come over until the fire was put out by the big guys.
Rutang followed to put out the fire, and her clothes were soaked by the water, outlining her perfect curves. Zhang Hao's eyes were glued to Rutang for a while, and then he moved his eyes to Li Hua.
"Sister Hua, your hair is burned - ah, you still have such big blisters on your hands!" Rutang no longer calls her sister-in-law.
Calling her sister-in-law means acknowledging the greasy man's brother. Instead of judging seniority from the scumbag, just call Li Hua sister.
In order to save Rutang and his wife, Li Hua got a huge blister on his hand and a piece of his big black braid was burned. He looked very miserable.
When the fire was at its peak, no one dared to step forward to put out the fire, but Li Hua was desperate and tried his best to protect Rutang's mother, who was not related to her by blood. This is the kindness of human nature.
"It's okay. Just be fine. I don't know what's going on. The wood is on fire." Li Hua found it strange.
The pile of wood will be burned out by now.
She put this up herself. She checked it repeatedly when she put it up. There was nothing wrong with it. Why did it catch on fire for no reason in the middle of the night?
Zhang Hao reluctantly moved his eyes from Rutang's chest to Rutang's face, thinking that this girl had seen his scandal and had no time to admire the beauty, so he asked Rutang angrily:
"How can you compensate me for burning my house down to this level?"
"What are you talking about? You started the fire by yourself, what's the matter with Guan Rutang?" As soon as Li Hua finished speaking, Zhang Lang slapped Li Hua with a big mouth, causing Li Hua's face to turn to one side.
"Shut up! It's all because of you who are greedy for petty gains. You don't need a few dollars at home, so you have to rent the house to these unknown people. Now it's okay. If you are greedy for petty gains, you will suffer big losses, and you will be on fire!"
Rutang felt that the fire was too strange. She and her mother went to bed early, and there was no fire source. How could it catch fire for no reason?
Li Hua's yard was gated at night, and wood was piled in the yard. It was far away from the fence, so it was impossible for anyone to throw cigarette butts from outside the yard.
The fire must have started in the yard.
Rutang was sure that the problem was not with her and her mother. They cooked dinner on the stove. After they finished cooking, they moved it back into the house and it had already been put out.
Zhang Liang and Li Hua had a quarrel, and Zhang Liang insisted on letting Rutang pay compensation, and he would have to move out after paying the compensation.
Li Hua felt that this matter was not to blame and he could not blackmail people for no reason.
The neighbors were trying to stop the fight, but Rutang didn't join in. She wandered around the fire spot.
The fire burned all the wood, and a large area of the outer wall of the lower room was blackened. The wooden window frames were also carbonized, the glass was cracked, and the entire window was ruined.
Apart from these, there were no other losses. Li Hua discovered it in time. If it had been a little later, Rutang and his wife might have been in danger.
Rutang came to the door and found a broken lock on the ground.
This discovery made Rutang feel cold all over, and uncontrollable fear surged in her heart.
She couldn't open the door just now. It turned out that the door was locked from behind!
The fire had reached the door just now. Even with the firelight blocking it, Li Hua didn't notice that the door was locked from the outside, so he just broke in to save people.
This was not an accident, it was a premeditated murder!
After Rutang thought of this, her heart began to beat wildly. The yard was noisy, but the world in her eyes seemed to be muted. She observed everyone carefully, trying to analyze who wanted to kill her.
Could it be Zhang Yun?
Rutang's first suspect was Zhang Yun.
Zhang Leng was fooling around with women during the day and was caught by Rutang.
Would he want to silence her because of this?
Rutang cannot be sure.
"Call the police." Rutang raised her voice, interrupting the argument ahead.
Everyone looked over and Rutang pointed to the lock on the ground.
"This was premeditated. Someone locked the door outside."
"Ah?" Li Hua was confused.
Zhang Liang was also confused.
Rutang paid close attention to Zhang Yun's expression. He seemed to really know nothing. If he was pretending, then his acting skills were too high.
The matter was so big that it was impossible not to call the police. A group of people called the police, and soon the police arrived and found a shoe print on the white wall outside the yard.
The shoe prints are size 42, and they belong to a man. After comparing them with Zhang Yun's feet, they are not his.
Someone broke in and started a fire, and the police focused on retaliation.
That night I checked everyone's social relationships. Rutang and his wife had just come from their hometown and didn't know anyone in the city. Chen Fu was still receiving education at this time, so it couldn't be him.
Therefore, the police focused their attention on Zhang Yun and his wife, thinking that the couple's enemies came to visit.
Now that Rutang couldn't keep it a secret anymore, she told her about seeing Zhang Yun with a woman during the day. Li Hua was nearby, and when he heard this, he got angry and got into a fight with Zhang Yuan.
The police immediately contacted the woman. It turned out that the woman also had a family, but something strange happened.
