As soon as they saw me getting out, some villagers rushed forward to help me. I was choked and coughed repeatedly, and I quickly got up without thinking about anything else: "Where is my grandpa! Where is my grandpa!"
"Your grandpa hasn't come out!" the villagers responded anxiously. Some people went home with buckets to fetch water and poured water into my house. The fire in the yard was so bright that the night was like day. I was in a trance for a while. "
Grandpa..." He shouted, raised his feet and rushed in.
"Jiaolong! Come out! The house is going to collapse!!"
I didn't care about other people's shouts. I really couldn't survive if my grandpa was gone. After entering the house, my grandpa lay on the kang. The fire hadn't burned in yet, but the smoke was very strong. I quickly carried my grandpa on my back.
I rushed out and waited for my grandpa to lie down on the ground in the yard. I kept calling him: "Grandpa, grandpa!!"
A villager poured some water on my grandpa's face, and he coughed and woke up, saying, "What's going on?"
Grandpa is fine. I put my mind at ease. Just as I was about to say something, I saw my grandpa sitting up with his arms propped up and looking at the burning house: "It's on fire! There are still things in the house! Jiaolong, you
Grandma’s tablet is still inside!!”
I was shocked, and then I remembered that the tablets of my grandma and Lao Xian'er had not been taken out. After grandma left, my grandpa made a memorial tablet for her at the request of grandma and placed it with Lao Xian'er as a memorial.
I was so anxious that I almost forgot about my grandpa.
"I'll go in and get it!" I said, grabbing a piece of clothing that was still hanging in the yard, rinsed it in a villager's bucket, then supported it with both hands and ran in again.
"Forget it, don't ask for it! Stand up again, you can't go in again, the fire will get bigger and bigger!!"
Some villagers were pulling me behind. I was so anxious that I rushed in without stopping. Strangely enough, the fire was so fierce that it had already burned into the house, but there was nothing near the memorial tablet of Lao Xian'er.
I stepped forward and directly held Lao Xian'er and my grandma's tablet in my arms.
Then I opened the drawer and took out the small cloth bag containing the dried ginseng segments. After taking it, I turned around and ran outside. Who knew that as soon as I ran to the door, the door frame was shaking and about to fall down. I was so scared.
I took a step back, but I felt someone push me hard from behind. My center of gravity was unsteady, and I fell directly out of the door frame that was about to fall.
Some of the villagers exclaimed. Someone came up to help me. When I turned around, the door frame fell down with a bang! The beam inside the house also collapsed. If I hadn't come out, I would have been killed by the smash.
.
"Oh my god, Jiaolong, if you were one step too late, you would have been ruined!!!" The villagers looked at me and said with lingering fears.
Grandpa was also frightened. He struggled to get up and came over to touch my face: "Jiaolong, are you okay? Grandpa won't be able to survive if something happens to you."
I held the memorial tablet in my arms and shook my head numbly, "I'll be fine." I didn't say the last sentence. I knew that the old fairy in the family, my grandma, or the birth of a child would always protect me.
mine.
The fire actually burned all night and was not put out until early morning. I followed the villagers and kept pouring water into the house, and then watered it again. When I was about to collapse, the fire was finally put out.
The villagers who helped were exhausted, but seeing that only the frame of our house was burned, they could only pat me on the shoulder and go back without saying anything. I sat with my grandpa with a dark face.
In the yard, looking at the dark house, I felt like crying.
"That Chen Wei is too ruthless. If he says he wants to burn the house, he will burn the house."
"Stop talking, this is enough to make Lao Ma's family angry. Maybe it's because they saw Lao Xu's family running away and venting their anger on Lao Ma's family. It's not because of ginseng. Who knows if the bright red one in Lao Xu's family is just talking nonsense.
Well, those girls are not accurate at all."
I listened to what the villagers said when they left, slowly got up from the ground, put the memorial tablet and other things into my grandfather's arms, then wiped my face, smelled the burning smell in the air, and raised my head
He walked directly to the warehouse.
"Jiaolong, what are you going to do?" My grandfather obviously had no strength at all, and my voice was weak when he screamed.
I didn't say anything. I rummaged around in the warehouse for a while, found a pickaxe, and dragged me out of the yard. My grandfather was frightened by me. He quickly got up from the ground and pulled me forward: "Jiaolong, what are you doing?
Ah, don't be impulsive, I'll call your dad, we can go to the county seat at the worst!"
"Grandpa, it's okay, I know it well." I responded in a hoarse voice, opened my grandfather's hand, turned around and walked directly out of the yard. When I turned around, I saw that my grandfather was following me, and I opened my mouth: "Grandpa,
Don't follow me, it's okay, I'll be back in a moment."
After walking a few steps, I turned around and found that my grandpa was still following me. I knew he was worried, so I could only speed up my pace and soon left my grandpa behind. When I got to the house of the three cripple's eldest brother and sister-in-law, I bit him.
Gritting his teeth, he reached out and knocked hard on the door.
The dog in their yard immediately started barking. The barking dog made me upset. I banged the door harder until I heard the sister-in-law of the three cripples saying in the yard: "Who is it? It's so early in the morning. It's coming. It's coming."
!”
As soon as she opened the door, she didn't recognize me for a moment: "Who are you?" Then she looked at me carefully: "Oh my god, Jiaolong, what's wrong with you? You've been burned by the fire.
Why is it so dark?"
"Woof woof woof!!" The wolf dog in their yard pulled on its chain and barked loudly at me.
I glared at the dog fiercely, but unexpectedly, the dog snorted and lay down obediently. The sister-in-law of the third lame man was stunned for a moment and looked at me: "Jiaolong, you have something to do here."
"Where's Chen Wei?" I said directly and looked at her: "Let Chen Wei come out."
"Why are you looking for my nephew?" Upon hearing that I was looking for Chen Wei, the face of the third cripple sister-in-law became obviously cautious and she looked at me with some vigilance.
"Settling the account." I uttered two words and raised the pickaxe in my hand. "He burned my house down. I can't just let him go. You let him come out and I'll talk to him properly."
"My nephew burned down your house?" The third cripple's sister-in-law looked at me with an inexplicable look on her face: "What are you talking about!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, tell him to get out of here!" I shouted loudly, but I saw the eldest brother of the three cripples coming out of the house, and was shocked when he looked at me, "Jiaolong,
How could you do this?"
"Chen Wei burned my house down in the middle of the night last night. Let him come out." I said with the only patience I had. If he didn't let him come out, I would go in and fight with him.
The eldest brother of the three cripples frowned and looked at me: "Last night? It's impossible. Chen Wei did come to my house yesterday afternoon and said he was waiting for you to give him something good, but he was taken away by the police not long after. This
Everyone in the area saw it and said there was a murder, so how could they go to your house and set it on fire?"
I was stunned and looked at him: "He was taken away by the police?"
The sister-in-law of the third cripple looked at her man with an unhappy look on her face: "Why do you say it so clearly? Murder is a good thing. Go home quickly!" After saying that, she looked at me again: "Ma Jiaolong, your house is on fire.
It has nothing to do with us. You can go back and find other reasons yourself, without blackmailing others!" After saying that, she closed the door.
Chen Wei is in trouble... I loosened my grip on the pickaxe and wondered who set fire to my house.
