Fair Lady

Chapter 5 Burnt Out

The courtyard of Xia's family is one of the best in the whole Xitang Street. It faces south and is surrounded by high walls.On the north side of the courtyard is the main building, built on a platform made of bricks and stones, with a hall and three bedrooms.To the east is a servant's room and two guest rooms, and to the west is the kitchen.These are all brick houses, connected by corridors.

However, the utility room in the south and the thatched hut in the southwest corner are both made of wood. The utility room is not very high, only more than half of the wall

a little.

On the large open space between the houses in the south and north of the yard, there were still some small puddles because of the heavy rain that had just fallen.

Now, all the people are on the other side of the hall, and the voices of the dispute are getting louder.

Shuyao flashed into the utility room, pushed open the wooden door of the cellar exit, pushed down the bale of hay that was originally on the surface, then grabbed a handful of hay, lit it on the oil lamp and threw it into the cellar.

Then light two handfuls of hay and throw it on the innermost haystack and firewood pile, quickly back out, "fall" in the place between the hut and the utility room, and the oil lamp "just" landed next to the pile of firewood near the door On, quickly ignited.

Following Shuyao's scream and cries, the people who were arguing in the hall saw the raging fire in astonishment.

Shujie was the first to rush out: "Yao'er, Yao'er", with deep fear in his voice, he had just lost his father and mother, and there were only two brothers and sisters left, and he couldn't bear the possibility of losing either of them.

"Woooooo, brother, I'm here, woohoo, brother, I'm afraid..." Shu Yao was still crying on the ground.

Shujie rushed over to pick up Shuyao, who was covered in mud, and couldn't help crying like rain: "Yao'er is not afraid, the eldest brother is here, so I am not afraid."

The Xia family and the Zhen family were still staring at the fire in a daze, Qingfu yelled at them: "Firefighting, why are you standing there! Chunsheng, you just read the book here." Then he ran to the front of the kitchen. The well, and the neighbors who had just returned not long ago also rushed over with basins and pokes in their arms.

Cuizhu seemed to have just woken up, and suddenly screamed: "Grandpa and Grandma, the cellar, things are in the cellar."

The Zhen family and the Xia family all woke up after the shout, but they didn't dare to rush in when they saw the fire all over the sky... They were so anxious!

It's gone, it's all gone now.

Pots and buckets of water were poured on the fire, but it was of no use.The whole wooden house plus so much hay and firewood inside...

Hehe, burn it, burn it quickly, burn everything inside to ashes!Burn those greedy and vicious hearts to ashes!At this moment, Shuyao wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.Seeing the faces of the uncles, aunts, and uncles and uncles who were so painful that they looked like dead parents, I was so happy!

As the beams and shelves of the sundry room continued to collapse, the longing in the hearts of Zhen Dafu, his wife, Xia Linyu and his son gradually turned to ice.Silver, precious medicinal materials, they were clearly waving to them an hour ago, but now they are all flying, and they are all gone.

Shuyao heard the knocking sound from a distant place, and she knew that the time was almost up, and the fire would soon be extinguished.

Zhen Dafu rushed over suddenly and raised his hand to hit Shuyao, "You bastard, prodigal son!"

Shujie held Shuyao in his arms to protect her: "What are you doing? Why are you beating Yaoer? Yaoer didn't do it on purpose, she was scared by herself."

Uncle Li pulled Shujie who was holding Shuyao behind him, and all the neighbors also embraced him:

"Such a young child is carrying an oil lamp to the hut, and the ground is full of potholes. What's so strange about falling down? Why did you all go there?"

"They're still relatives. I don't know what they're arguing about when they come here. No one cares about the children going to the latrine."

"This burning is also burning the utility room of Shujie's house. What does it have to do with you? It didn't destroy your family's stuff."

"That's right, sister Yao, don't be afraid, the neighbors will help you build the utility room and hut again, don't be afraid, good boy!"

……

"哗啦啦——" The pouring rain suddenly fell.

Everyone hurriedly avoided the corridor between the houses, and the fire was completely extinguished.

The strange thing is that the pouring rain seemed to be just to put out the fire, and it stopped soon. Zhen Dafu, his wife and Xia's family rushed into the ruins, and Cuizhu ran to the exit of the cellar. There was a big hole, but unfortunately the ladder was not burned. Now, the bottom is covered with black ashes, and more than half of it has collapsed, so you can't dig anything out, right?

Seeing the expressions of Cui Zhu and Zhen Dafu, brothers Xia Linyu knew that all the valuables of Xia Linxuan's family were in the cellar, but now, they were all burned up.

If so, why are they still here?Waiting for money to support these three evil seeds?

"Shujie, take out the title deed of this yard and I will keep it. It's not safe for you three children to hold it." Xia Linyu shouted at Shujie, this trip can't be in vain, this yard is worth some money, it can't be cheap The Zhen family.

Xia Shujie replied coldly: "Five days ago, I turned 15 and wore my hair. My mother transferred this yard to my name. The government has already registered it. Uncle, it's useless if you take it." After five strands of hair and fifteen strands of hair, a woman can have her own property under her name. Once the government registers, even her parents can't take it casually.

"Uncle, can we three children come to you when we have nothing to eat?" Shu Yao looked at Xia Linyu innocently with her big almond eyes.

"You... you are a curse, you prodigal." Xia Linyu became angry when he remembered that the whole box of silver and precious medicinal materials had been burned by Shuyao, "Your father was originally a bastard. They have been separated a long time ago, and have nothing to do with our Xiafu, and we have no obligation to support you."

"Okay, remember these words, we have nothing to do with you a long time ago, if you come to trouble us again, you will be struck by lightning!" Shuyao said viciously in her immature voice.

"You bastard", Xia Linyu was about to rush over, "Boom" and "Boom" came down two consecutive thunders, which were deafening, louder than the two thunders that woke up Shuyao two hours ago.

Shuyao secretly rejoiced, the timing was just right, no, there should be another one, she was frightened by these three thunders in her previous life, it is said that they were the loudest thunders in the history of Dazhou, and later some people said that several people were struck to death by lightning that night It's over.

Shuyao immediately raised her little finger and pointed at Zhen Dafu: "And you, my mother said you are not welcome in our family"

"Little bastard---" Zhen Dafu hadn't finished cursing, "Boom, boom", another ear-shattering loud noise, as if it fell on his head.

Xia Linyu and Zhen Dafu were really terrified, not only them, Lin, Xia Linyu's younger brother, nephew, and even Cui Zhu were all terrified. They had never seen such a loud thunder, and it didn't rain after thunder.

The fire, the rain, and the thunder just now came so weirdly. They thought of Zhen Zirou's coffin still in the hall, and Shuyao's vicious lines of "the sky is struck by lightning" and "my mother said you are not welcome", they all shuddered I got goosebumps all over my body, and my legs started to feel weak.

There are many people who have been scolded as "struck by lightning from the sky", but no one has ever been really hacked, and they were hacked so fast, almost as soon as they scolded that stinky girl, they were hacked in response!

The neighbors in the neighborhood didn't think there was anything wrong with the little Shuyao scolding "the sky strikes with lightning". There are not many scholars on this street, and most of them are rough people.The family members quarrel, the neighbors make awkward scenes, often swearing like this, the children will inevitably follow suit when they hear it, and the three- and four-year-old children will swear by their waists a lot, and they will find it funny and laugh.

However, Xiao Shuyao's scolding was really "proficient" today, and there really was Thor to help her. Everyone was shocked by the extremely loud thunder, but they were not afraid, and they didn't come to hack them.This is called "If you don't do bad things, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. If you do bad things, you will be afraid of being struck by thunder."
