80s Taoism

Chapter 38 Fire

[Please recommend a ticket! 】

The matter of Zhang Benrui's family plunged the whole Meizi'ao into a solemn atmosphere. The sun has not yet set, and every household has finished work early. In the past, I often waited until the sun went down and the light became a little dim before going home.

The faces of the villagers were also different from usual, and seemed to be a little more serious. On the country road, pedestrians are in a hurry.

A black crow croaked non-stop at the entrance of the village, adding a bit of eerie feeling to the already tense Meiziao.

Liu Qiaoye took the cubs directly from the field to drive their own ducks out of the paddy field, instead of letting the ducks go home after dark.

"Mother, don't our ducks go home on their own? Do we need to come and catch them?" Zhang Jiaohua thinks it's just Mother looking for trouble.

"You talk too much. This morning, Ben Rui went to the mountains to burn the yellow skins, but the yellow skins didn't kill a few of them, and injured himself. Many of them escaped. The yellow skins hold a grudge. But last night, they killed all the chickens and ducks of Ben Rui's family. Our house is the closest to theirs, and I'm worried that the yellow skins will come and return our chickens and ducks." Liu Qiaoye frowned, with a worried expression on his face.

"Mother, tell Dad to go to the street tomorrow to buy some yellow paper and cinnabar, and I'll just draw an Anzhai Talisman." Zhang Jiaohua said nonchalantly after learning from his master.

"Who knows if your Anzhai Talisman is useful or not." Liu Qiaoye laughed.

"It will definitely be useful. Remember to ask Dad to go to the market to buy things tomorrow." Zhang Jiaohua has already regarded everything in his dreams as reality.

"Zai Zai, you can only tell your parents about these things in the future, don't tell anyone else, you know?" Liu Qiaoye found it interesting, but hurriedly reminded her.

"Understood. Mother." Zhang Jiaohua responded.

Zhang Jiaohua went to bed early, and did not dream again that night.

In the middle of the night, I heard someone crying loudly: "Fire!" Fight the fire!

Zhang Jiaohua was young, she was in a deep sleep, she heard vaguely in her ears, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what.

"Calling, calling, wake up." Liu Qiaoye gently patted Zai Zai's face with his hand.

But Zhang Jiaohua opened his eyes and took a look, then called out: "Mother." He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

"This child is sleeping soundly. Why don't you wake him up." Liu Qiaoye couldn't bear to wake up his son.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our house is so close. What if the wind blows flames over and sets our house on fire? You have to wake up Zai Zai and let him go to Dad's side. You can just sleep there. You can't stay at home. Hurry up. I have to go. Otherwise people will think we are desperate." Zhang Youping walked out the door with a bucket in his hand.

Although Zhang Jiaohua couldn't bear to wake up his son, he knew that the man was right. In case there is a shortage of work, even though the house is a brick and tile house, there are a lot of firewood piled up around the house. Once it is lit, the rafters of the whole house can be connected to the fire. Leaving a cub at home is indeed dangerous. The old house is far away, if the fire is not particularly serious, it should not burn through. And there are grandparents looking after them. Although it is said that grandparents do not like to see Zai Zai, they are always grandchildren.

Liu Qiaoye immediately picked up Zai Zai and walked towards the old house. When walking out of the yard, Zhang Jiaohua heard someone shouting loudly.

"This side, this side, use water quickly. Hurry up and fetch water from the pond. This fire must be brought under control quickly, otherwise there are so many wooden houses in the village, if the fire spreads, the whole Meiziao will be destroyed."

What a fire! Zhang Jiaohua could feel the scorching heat continuously rushing over in her yard. Zhang Jiaohua woke up suddenly, struggling to get out of his mother's embrace.

"Are you awake?" Liu Qiaoye smiled, and put Zai Zai on the ground.

What a fire! Zhang Jiaohua saw that Zhang Benrui's house was completely shrouded in flames. Like a giant fire.

"Burn, burn! Burn you to death!" Ma Jinxiu kept shouting with disheveled hair, sounding like a madman. Several women tried their best to hold Ma Jinxiu down, but Ma Jinxiu's strength was so great that four or five women almost failed to hold him down.

"Tie her up with a rope! I don't know what evil I did! I even set my house on fire!"

"Jinxiu! Don't go crazy! Your house is on fire. How will your family live in the future?"

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Zhang Benrui's head was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and he sat down on the ground, regardless of whether the ground was already muddy.

"Benrui, don't sit on the ground. Your wound is not healed yet, so don't get infected. Now that this is the case, don't think too much about it. As long as you are fine, you are lucky." Zhang Dechun, the village secretary, pulled Zhang Benrui up from the ground.

Zhang Youping also quickly said, "Go and sit at our house, there are folks here."

The fire has not been extinguished, and it has been sunny for a long time, and Zhang Benrui's house is made of wood. In addition, the fire started in the middle of the night, and it was not discovered until the fire grew. I can't control it anymore.

There is a question that everyone is confused about. How could Ma Jinxiu suddenly go crazy and want to set fire to his house.

"Yesterday, the two of them were fine, and there was no quarrel. How could Jin Xiu suddenly go crazy. Did you buy your own house?"

"Yes. When Ben Rui was injured yesterday, she was still busy."

"I haven't heard that there is anything wrong with Jin Xiu?"

The old people who couldn't help on the side talked about the cause of the fire. Suddenly someone said loudly, "Could it be that those yellow-skinned people came back to take revenge?"

This point of view was immediately agreed with, "Yes, Huang Pizi is very vengeful. The night before yesterday, Ben Rui used a mousetrap to get a few Huang Pizi, and then peeled the skins of these Huang Pizi. The night before yesterday, Huang Pizi destroyed all the poultry in Ben Rui's house. Yesterday Ben Rui went to the mountain to burn Huang Pizi's lair. Last night, the house caught fire. Huang Pizi must have come back for revenge!"

"Isn't Mrs. Benrui possessed by Huang Pizi? In the early years, I heard about being possessed by Huang Pizi. Hurry up and get a needle. Prick Mrs. Benrui among the people and see her reaction, and you will know if she is possessed." The old people in the village are well-informed, and naturally they have heard more about Huang Pizi than the young people.

The villagers helped Zhang Benrui and his wife to Zhang Jiaohua's house.

Liu Qiaoye originally planned to take Zhang Jiaohua to his grandfather's house, but now that Zhang Jiaohua has woken up, he refuses to go to his grandfather's house.

Seeing that the villagers brought Zhang Benrui and his wife to his home, Zhang Jiaohua naturally had the opportunity to observe the couple closely.
