Chapter 88 Fire is merciless, but people are merciful!

In the middle of the night, Sesame Ball, who was sleeping in the main room, suddenly screamed vigorously.

Ben is a puppy less than two months old. It is reasonable to say that he is greedy for food and sleep, but Sesame Ball is usually very "nosy".

Even if a mouse ran past the door, or a jackdaw landed on the eaves, it would prick up its ears and cry.

But this time, it barked so loudly that it even ran to pull on the door frame.

The old man got up in his padded jacket, followed by Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong.

"Father, what happened?" Tai Jizu picked up the sesame ball and asked, "Did someone steal something? I'll go out and have a look!"

Tai Jizong also picked up the wooden stick behind the door and opened the door.

But it was quiet in the yard. Even the big black horse Gale had his head down and ate the night grass without any sign of irritation or uneasiness.

The three father and son were very puzzled, walked through the yard and opened the gate.

Tai Jizong sniffed the smell in the air with the tip of his nose, and suddenly said, "Dad, why does it seem to smell burnt?"

"Yes, Dad, it seems to have come from the north?" Tai Jizu followed the limelight and pointed to the north.

To the north of Taijia Village is Liujia Village. Is there something wrong with Liujia Village?
At this time, other people in the village heard the movement and came out to check.

Tai Sanye was also wearing a thick jacket, and asked the old brother, "Lao Liu, do you want to send someone out to take a look? Don't tell me the forest is on fire, and our village is implicated?"

"Okay, third brother, you stay at home and I'll take people out to take a look." The old man responded.

For a while, he greeted a dozen men in the village and went north.

Tai Jizu beckoned his younger brother to take care of the family, while he followed closely behind his father, clutching a stick.

Everyone walked north along the dirt road outside the village for a long time, only to realize that it was not Liujia Village that was on fire, but the east side of a small town outside the county seat, and the flames were raging.

Even the people in Liujia Village were awakened and stood on the roadside watching.

Seeing Mr. Tai and the others, the two sides said hello, and because they felt awkward about the previous incident, they quickly separated.

Mr. Tai led the villagers a few miles further, and he could hear more clearly.

There were many people fighting the fire in the light, and the shouts were loud, but the fire seemed to be unstoppable, and the roof ridges could be seen collapsing from a distance.

Everyone couldn't help feeling sad and talking about it.

"Whose house is this, why did it catch such a big fire!"

"Yeah, it's been so windy these days, it's hard to put out the fire."

But some people said, "All the people living in this town are rich households, or the outhouses of some wealthy lords in the city. They are not afraid of fire, and their families are rich. Just don't hurt people, and the houses can be rebuilt."

After listening to a few words, the old man thought about his family again, so he asked everyone to turn around and go back.

As a result, just as everyone turned around, they heard someone yelling in a low voice, "Father, father? Is that you?"

Tai Jizu heard the familiar voice, and ran over in two or three steps.

Tai Jiye, who went out at dusk, was dressed in clean clothes and looked decent, but now his whole body was covered in dust, his hat was lost, and his bun was untied. child.

"Jiye, what's wrong with you?"

"What happened?"

"Were you robbed? Were you injured?"

The crowd was terrified, and hurriedly surrounded them, and with the light of the torches, the more they watched, the more terrified they became.

Tai Jiye quickly waved his hands to signal everyone to be silent, and then slowly revealed the appearance of a child.

Dirty underwear, burnt trousers, bare feet...

It's okay for others, the old man was the first to recognize it.

This is the young master of the Zheng family!

A villager also rescued Zhuzhu. He had a good memory and recognized it. He asked in a low voice, "It's on fire... It's not the Zheng family that's on fire, right?"

Tai Jiye nodded and replied, "Something happened to the Zheng family, it seems that many people died, I only have time to recite Young Master Zheng!"

Many people died?
Including the smiling, always warm and thoughtful Butler Zheng?

Everyone's heart was pounding, they didn't know what to say, they were more afraid.

Old Master Tai turned around to look at the flames in the distance, then at the comatose young man, and ordered everyone immediately.

"The Zheng family was really good to our family before. Today, we can't just ignore it. The child will be brought back to my house to be resettled. Don't be afraid, even if something happens, it won't affect the village. It's just about tonight, you must Keep it a secret, and don't tell anyone after you go back."

Standing by the side, Tai Jicai was the first to respond, "Don't worry, Uncle Six, we have eaten the food from the Zheng family. Now that they are in trouble, we can't help them, and we can't make trouble, right?"

"Yeah, even if this happened on the road, you should be saved and you should be saved. This is a life!"

"I didn't see anything tonight, I don't know anything."

"Yes, me too."

Mr. Tai had confidence in his heart and quickly arranged for Tai Jizu to change his brother and carry Young Master Zheng back on his back.

Maybe outsiders saw the clue, the old man covered Young Master Zheng with a thick coat, and everyone put out the torches, although they stumbled a little, they didn't fall down.

When passing by Liujia Village, someone asked loudly about the situation.

"Uncle Tai Liu, what's going on up front?"

Old Master Tai replied vaguely, "It seems that someone's house is on fire. There are many people fighting the fire. It's in a mess. We didn't dare to move forward! Let's wait until dawn to have a look!"

The people in Liujia Village didn't think anything was wrong, seeing that everyone in Tai's family didn't have torches, they wanted to give away two.

In the end, the Tai family thanked them but refused, "No need, we will be home in a few steps."

While talking, the Tai family had already passed through Liujia Village and quickly returned to their own village.

Tai Sanye took some villagers to guard at the entrance of the village, and occasionally formed a team to walk around the village, so as to reassure the old and weak women and children of various families.

After finally getting everyone back, Mr. Tai naturally wanted to ask, but the villagers kept their mouths shut.

Third Master Tai was puzzled, but was pulled by the old brother.

Mr. Tai shouted loudly to everyone, "Everyone, please go back to sleep. You should be more alert. It will be dry soon. Be careful of open fires!"

"Understood, Uncle Six."

"We're back!"

The villagers greeted him one after another, and went home together.

Only Third Master Tai was left behind, and Tai Jicai who was guarding his father.

When everyone entered the house, Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang woke up early, and took Tai Yongan and Tai Yongning to guard in the main room.

As for Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, and Zhuzhu, they were too tired from playing during the day and didn't wake up at all!

Yang Lihua wanted to fetch some tea, but was startled by the boy on her husband's back.

"Where did this kid come from?"

Liu Dongniang, Tai Yongan, and Tai Yongning also gathered around. Tai Yongan and Tai Yongning recognized them immediately and shouted in surprise, "Young Master Zheng?!"

Tai Jiye grabbed the teapot, regardless of whether the water was cold or not, and poured most of it in one go, which relieved the fear and anxiety in his heart.

"Sister-in-law, please think of a solution quickly. Young Master Zheng seems to have smoked a lot of smoke and is also frightened!"

Yang Lihua is not a doctor either. To be honest, I really don't know how to save her.

After she stabilized her mind, she asked her sister-in-law to help cook the ginger soup, then she poured warm water, washed Young Master Zheng's hands and face, and changed into Tai Yongning's new clothes.

At this time, the ginger soup was also cooked, and Liu Dongniang also added a handful of brown sugar.

It's sweet and warm, and I got a little pungent ginger soup. I just poured a bowl for Young Master Zheng, and he woke up!
