I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 42
Wang Zhu didn't know how long he had waited until the courtyard was quiet, and he didn't hear his mother and sister talking for a long time. He quietly sat up from the straw mat, lifted the quilt, and covered a bound mouse inside. .The rat's tail was wrapped with a fine hemp rope, and the other end of the rope was coiled several times, and after unrolling it was about ten feet long, giving off a smell of sesame oil.

He trembled even more, tiptoed to the door, but the latch was not inserted at all, he almost held his breath, and slowly opened the door a crack.Fortunately, there was no sound, and then he took out the torch that he had stolen from Wang Ge, and set the end of the hemp rope on fire.

As the flames began to spread, so did his fear, but he plucked the string off the mouse's mouth.

let go!

The mouse "squeaked" and escaped with the fire wire.

Wang Zhu kept his eyes on the line of fire, and the wind blew up the hemp rope, flying so high.Wang Ge's words kept echoing in his ears: the yard is full of bamboo cages, if sparks come out, it will be troublesome...

The courtyard is full of bamboo cages, and sparks are flying out...

Out of Mars...

suddenly!
I didn't expect that when the bamboo ring was ignited, there would be such a loud noise.The wind helped the fire, and the whole courtyard quickly rolled up the flaming flames.

"Help!"

"Help!"

The screams made Wang Zhu even more frightened, he wanted to cry, what should he do?He just wanted to burn the bamboo cages, so why did they work hard together, and only the third room only paid five dollars?Father is the most honest in the family, usually he doesn't dare to talk too much, why should he bully Father?

But will this fire burn people?The aunt is also in the yard!
How to do how to do?
"Help, brother, get up quickly, save me." Wang Peng ran out of the back room avoiding Yao Shi's slap, and threw himself on Wang Zhu's stomach, and Wang Zhu woke up from his dream with the sound of "Aow". .

The door of the house just opened, and Wang Sanlang went out carrying the urine bucket and Wang Peng's diaper-soaked mattress.After he opened the door, what Wang Zhu saw was a courtyard full of bamboo cages, swaying freely in the breeze.

It was already light.

Everything is safe, as it was yesterday.

Mrs. Yao grabbed Wang Peng and beat him hard: "I'll make you wet the bed, even at such a big age!"

Wang Ai rolled on the bed and cried.

Wang Zhu was still not fully awake, he swallowed hard, lifted the quilt completely, and loosened his body.

Rat is gone.

He was full of resentment last night, and indeed he caught a mouse by some strange coincidence. He knew there was a pot of sesame oil in the corner of the kitchen, so he poured some on the hemp rope, and then hid the mouse under the bed.But Wang Ge was the only one in the family who knew how to make firecrackers, and she always carried them with her. She and his aunt stayed up in the courtyard, and he pretended to go to the latrine twice, but he never had a chance to steal them.

Fortunately, there is no chance!

Fortunately, the mouse ran away while he fell asleep!Even if someone catches him in the future, even if the oil-soaked hemp rope accidentally catches fire, it has nothing to do with him.

After Yao's beating up Wang Peng, he kicked his eldest son angrily: "What are you dreaming of? Quickly fold the mat and put it aside!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the main house was oppressive.

There was a dead mouse on the ground. The mouse's mouth and tail were tied with fine hemp rope, and the tail rope was more than ten feet long.

The mouse was caught by Wang Ge.Her personality is extremely serious in everything she does, and she is more vigilant after the eldest mother falls asleep.When the mouse ran out from the east wing through the crack of the door, it only made a small sound, but Wang Ge immediately set his sights on it.When the mouse passed by dragging the long rope, she stepped on it with one foot, and then pinched the mouse to wake up the eldest mother.

As soon as Jia Yu smelled the smell of sesame oil on the rope, she couldn't help being frightened, and her hairs stood on end!
Who would tie up a rat's mouth for no reason?Isn't it just to prevent it from calling?
Then tie such a long rope soaked in sesame oil to the rat's tail, what else can it do except to light a fire?
Wang Ge followed his eldest mother to the main house, and when he woke up his elder father, he was out of breath and immediately threw the mouse to death.From that moment on, the old man didn't say a word, his spine visibly collapsed.

Until the light came through the window lattice, and the East Wing room howled and cried, Wang Weng finally said: "This matter... can't be left alone. If you don't care about it, this family will be finished."

Wang Ge talked with his eldest mother in the first half of the night, and guarded the courtyard in the second half of the night. He didn't close his eyes the whole night, and his lips were white, but her spirit was not weakened at all: "Father, mother, the mouse did come out of the east wing. If Sanfang refuses to admit it, I would like to confront them."

Jia Yu said angrily: "Confrontation? The Yao family is also worthy! To tell the truth, I am afraid that you will fall asleep when you are young. I am pretending to be asleep! When you catch the mouse, I can see clearly! Woo... ...Why can my Wang family feel sorry for her? She dares to have such vicious thoughts, and she is not afraid of lightning strikes!"

Wang Weng got up, untied the hemp rope from the mouse tail, coiled it in his hand, and said fearfully: "Yes, in this kind of windy weather, if there is a fire, not only our house will be burned, but also the houses in the direction of the wind will be destroyed. It's evil! Fortunately, Shennong Yandi bless, otherwise how many lives would be killed cough cough..."

Wang Ge and Jia Yu caressed his back one by one.

Wang Weng waved his hand: "Let's go. She is unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous."

The moment the door of the main house was opened, Wang Weng's collapsed back was already stretched back.

Before the breakfast was ready, Wang He and Wang Shu were about to spread the mats in the courtyard, when Wang Weng raised his voice and said, "Don't be too busy, come here. Erlang, go and call your third younger brother and the whole third house. Hu Bao, help your father over here."

Wang Zhu was helping his mother to cook porridge. When he heard the second uncle shouting, he came out to see what was going on. When he saw the dead mouse with its sharp beak tied up in front of his father's feet, he was frightened and ran back to the kitchen. , threw herself in front of Grandma and knelt down: "Grandma, save me!"

Not long after, everyone except Yao's mother and son stood in front of the main house, and although they had speculated about the strangeness of the dead mouse being tied up on the ground, they didn't think deeply about it.

Wang Erlang urged in a low voice: "Third brother, hurry up and call my sister-in-law and Ah Zhu over."

"Oh." Wang Sanlang shouted obediently.

Yao Shi and Wang Zhu came one after the other, dawdling, but Wang Sanlang didn't see anything wrong with his wife and children.

When Wang Dalang stood on the right side of Wang Weng, Wang Weng acted like a family man and kicked the dead mouse to Yao Shi's feet, scaring her to scream.

Little Jia smiled sarcastically: "Tsk tsk, when did Difu become afraid of rats?"

Wang Weng raised his voice: "Erlang's bride is right! Yao Shi, since when have you been afraid of rats? It is clear that rats should be afraid of you!" After speaking, he also threw the hemp rope out.

As soon as Wang Zhu's body softened, Yao first knelt heavily!She pulled Wang Zhu, making him crooked and yelling, "Son, what did I say just now? Grandma was confused for a while, so please speak for Grandma! Only you can help Grandma!" , Your tongue is rotten? Say something for Grandma!"

Wang Zhu opened his mouth wide, tears streaming down his face.

Jia Yu picked up the dead rat and slapped it on Yao Shi's face. Unable to understand her hatred, she took off her shoe and slapped Yao Shi's face hard. "I know you are guilty! How dare you burn this house down? Why are you so vicious? You asked my grandson to intercede with your vicious woman? You still provoke me at this point! How dare you provoke me!"

"Don't, don't fight!" Wang Zhu begged, stretching out his hands.

Wang Weng and the long house were all motionless.

The second room was shocked!At this moment, I am afraid that the most innocent Wang Shu also associated the dead rat with the hemp rope.

There is a section of the hemp rope that is dark in color, Wang Erlang picked it up and smelled it, sesame oil? !He is furious!The yard is full of bamboo cages, is this really intriguing?He didn't dare to think about it anymore!

Wang Sanlang hugged Wang Ai with his left hand and pulled Wang Peng with his right hand, anxious, panicked and confused.The two children struggled and cried, "Stop beating, old lady, stop beating grandma!"

Yao Shi's cheeks were bleeding from the soles of Jia's straw sandals before she relieved herself a little.

Wang Zhu almost lost his breath. He grabbed his mother's arm, blaming himself, being timid, and distressed. He was so tortured that he wanted to fight to tell the truth! "Aunt..."
