Chapter 37
Li Xiaomei also steamed the horse's ears and gray vegetables, and the vegetables were steamed quickly.After slapping garlic and mixing it with garlic water, the taste is even better than gray vegetables. Li Xiaomei was delighted immediately, and found something else to eat in the future!
He also said it was delicious, and knew that the family had no money or rations, so he said that eating more of this would keep him from being full.

So, after dinner, several people went up the mountain again.

The Li Xiaojin sisters dug Qilixiang, Li Jiaxiang picked lavender, and Li Yuanxi went to check the traps, then cut a large bundle of wattle, and said they would weave a few baskets to store things, because there was basically nothing at home, so they had to buy.

After returning home in the afternoon, Li Xiaomei and Li Xiaojin planted Qilixiang, Li Yuanxi picked water for watering, and Li Jiaxiang picked wild vegetables unconvinced.

In the evening, Li Langzhong sent another scoop of white noodles and a bowl of round-grained rice.Thank you so much for Mrs. He, I was so moved that I didn't know what to say.

Li Xiaojin hurriedly gave the medicine he picked to Li Langzhong, "Master! Give my father a try with these medicines, and see if it can be cured!"

Li Langzhong looked at it and didn't say anything, he just asked Li Yuanxi to fetch him a jar of water.Both the bucket and the shoulder pole belonged to Langzhong Li. Li Yuanxi felt grateful to Langzhong Li, quickly filled a tank of water, picked up two more buckets, and walked home under the moonlight.

From a distance, I saw two sneaky people wandering around behind the house, so I hurried back to look for it, but I didn't see anyone, so I thought I was fooled.

After a long day of exhaustion, I was very tired. I planted a lot of seven lixiang, and put a pile of lavender in the house. The mosquitoes were gone. The whole family slept soundly, but I didn’t notice that there was a pile of wheat straw around the door, whistling. got up.

In the big summer, it was already very dry, and the door panels would stick up from time to time.Because the kitchen house is a straw shed, it burns faster. Starting from the top, with the breeze, the flames burst up all at once.He cursed faintly, "Damn! If our entire village is infected with smallpox, we will have no way of life!"

The room was getting hotter and hotter, Li Xiaojin turned over in boredom in his sleep, coughing came from the next room, subconsciously reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, turned over again, and rolled under the window.

There was a bang, the sound of firewood exploding, and a spark flew in and landed directly on Li Xiaojin's hand. The hot Li Xiaojin yelled and bounced, "It's scalding! It's scalding!" Damn, he immediately changed his face.

Li Yuanxi and the others were also woken up, and they all realized that there was a fire, and immediately shouted, calling He Shi and Li Changlu up.

Li Yuanxi threw himself on the door with brute force, rushed out, picked up a bucket of water and poured it on the door.

Li Jiaxiang's little face turned pale with fright, and Li Xiaojin's face was so dark that water could be wrung out, he picked up Li Jiaxiang and called Li Xiaomei to rush out.

Over there, Li Yuanxi had already rushed into He's house, and rushed out with Li Changlu on his back.

The fire was already on fire, Li Xiaojin opened his mouth and shouted, "It's on fire! It's on fire! Come and put out the fire! It's on fire!"

Li Yuanxi picked up the pick and went to fetch water, Li Xiaojin dragged Li Jiaxiang to the village and shouted for firefighters while running.

In summer, sleep was light. Many people heard the fire and got up, and came out with water. Seeing that it was Li Xiaojin's family from the village, more than half of them hesitated.The news that Li Changlu got smallpox and was kicked out of the Li family has spread, even his own family members are afraid, let alone them! ?If infected, what can the family do! ?

"My father is almost healed! We are not infected, as long as you have acne, you will not be infected! Please help me!" Li Xiaojin begged around.

When a few of them heard that they had acne, they gritted their teeth and ran over to help put out the fire with water in their hands.

Li Changshou also got up, and stood at the door watching from a distance, with a gloating expression on his face, and stopped someone when he saw someone wanted to help, "Their family has smallpox, a fatal disease, and they have already contracted it. Do you dare to go there!?"

When he said that, some people who wanted to go didn't dare.

But fortunately the fire was not too big, the kitchen shed was torn down and set aside to burn, and the two main rooms were saved, so at least they could still live there.

Li Changlu knelt down and thanked the people who came to put out the fire, but they didn't dare to step forward.

"I, Li Xiaojin's family, remember you for today's favor! I will repay you someday!" Li Xiaojin solemnly made a promise.

Li Yuanxi also solemnly bowed to several people.

The few men who came to help put out the fire did not know that because of their momentary act of kindness, not long after, the whole family lived a prosperous life.

Li Langzhong rushed over with a sullen face. Seeing the villagers standing far away watching the excitement, he went to explain to everyone, "Li Changlu didn't suffer from smallpox, but just acne. It has recovered and will be cured in a few days! So far, no one has been infected. Anyone, everyone, don’t panic and be afraid!”

Li Bingwen also stood up and said a few words, a village should help each other and so on.

"Someone set this fire on purpose, trying to burn our family to death! Who has such a vicious heart that he set fire to kill people!?" Li Xiaojin also followed, his expression cold and scary.

Li Xiaojin's words were like a bomb, and the crowd erupted immediately. Even if they disliked Li Xiaojin's family and were afraid of contracting smallpox, they didn't dare to set fire to death!Who has such a vicious heart to do such a thing that is struck by lightning! ?

"Please help me, if the murderer is caught, my Li Yuanxi family will be very grateful!" Li Yuanxi also came to greet him.

Many people responded, saying that the person who set the fire should be caught, and no matter what happens, no one can be killed.

Li Bingwen's face was also gloomy. If something like this happened in the village, if his superiors knew about it, he would have done it right!After preaching to everyone in the village and asking everyone to help catch the murderer, they all dispersed.

Li Changlu looked at the dark door panels and a pile of black and gray kitchen sheds, and cried bitterly, "I was the one who dragged your mothers down and hurt your mothers!" If he hadn't been infected with smallpox, he wouldn't have Someone came and set the house on fire!
Li Xiaojin was so angry that he was left with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, Li Changlu's condition has improved.

After listening to what Li Changshou said, Mrs. Feng snorted coldly, "The fate of the family is hard to die! I don't know how long my poor children and grandchildren can live!" But she didn't feel that she didn't give any rations, if it wasn't for Li Xiaojinniang How many, her poor children and grandchildren really don't live long!
But Mrs. Feng felt pitiful for a while, thinking that Li Changlu would rather separate the family than his mother, and live with Mrs. He, and now he has received retribution!

Li Changlu also felt that he had received retribution, because he did not treat the Li Xiaojin brothers and sisters well, and made their mothers suffer all these years.

Mrs. He persuaded him, and the family took the wooden planks and bamboo mats outside, slept on the ground directly, and spent the night under the sky as a cover.

Fortunately, the noodles and rice were still there. After cooking a pot of porridge with wild vegetables and eating them, my mother and I started to tidy up the house, and then moved in again, but there was only a smell of burning ashes.
