Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 70
Even so, at some point, she was still confused for a while.

There was a rustling sound, and she woke up in a jerk, but in the blink of an eye, she saw some light on the south side of the valley field, and some thick smoke wafted out of the light.

Xianglai suddenly jumped up from the valley and shouted: "Shen Che! Quick, water!"

While she was screaming, a figure jumped up from the edge of the light and ran to the east quickly, but before running far, she heard a scream of "ah", and then fell to the ground.

Xiang Lai didn't care what happened to the man, and ran over before Shen Che arrived, and picked up the flaming bunch with the stick in his hand and threw it to the outside of the grain yard.

Xu Che, who was lying in ambush outside the fence of Shunzi's house, couldn't stand the sleepiness either. When Xianglai fell asleep, he sat by the bucket and dozed off. He didn't notice that the rice pile was set on fire. If Xianglai didn't wake up in time, the fire would have really raged Thinking about it, maybe even Xianglai would have to be burned to death in the valley.

Xianglai's shout woke Xu Che up, and he immediately rushed over with two buckets of water.

Fortunately, the fire had just been lit, and Xiang Lai piled up more than a dozen bundles of small piles to dry the grains. After Shen Che came over, he poured a bucket of water on it to put out the fire, and poured another bucket of water on it, and the grains that had been sun-dried The rice was also drenched, and the fire could not be lit at all.

Xianglai saw that there was no water at hand, and the most prosperous bundles of rice that she picked out were hopeless, so she had no choice but to admit it, and turned her head to look in the direction where the lighter ran away.

The night was too dark to see the specific situation of that person clearly, only to see a dark figure crawling forward on the open space beside the valley field, and there was a faint moaning sound.

Xu Che didn't discover the fire in time, and just felt that he was negligent. When he found someone over there, he strode over immediately, took a closer look, then bent down and lifted the person up like a chicken, and rudely picked him up and threw him at Xianglai. In front of him, the man fell and howled again.

Xiang Lai lowered her head to look carefully, and saw that the man's leg was clamped with an iron clip. Seeing that the blow was not light, it is estimated that the fall hurt his wound.

The people in the village didn't hear their commotion, but the dogs heard it all, and immediately barked together, and the sleeping people were awakened by it.

The first one to run out was Shunzi. Not only was he close, but he was also alert when he heard Xu Che say that Xianglai was going to catch the thief. He ran out, but remembering Xianglai's words, he didn't dare to go to the edge of the valley, and asked from a distance with a torch: "Xianglai, Shen Che, have you caught it?"

Xianglai replied: "I caught it, please don't come here..."

After speaking, he asked Shen Che to take back the rest of the iron clips.

Shen Che saw that the legs of the person who set the fire seemed to be broken, and he was unable to threaten Xianglai at all, so he took a stick and put away the iron clips set up around the grain field one by one, and then told Shunzi And the people who came out from behind said: "Come here, be careful with the torch in your hand, don't let sparks fly into the rice pile!"

Then the crowd carefully walked around the rice stacks and came to Xianglai and the fireman.

There were so many people and so many torches, it was suddenly brightly illuminated. Someone recognized the man on the ground and said, "Isn't this the big pillar of Li Yongfa's family? He set it on fire?!"

Xianglai had seen this person twice from afar, but she didn't know his name. Now she finally confirmed that he was from Li Yongfa's family, and shouted, "Say, who told you to set the fire?!"

Da Zhuzi still wanted to deny it, grinning his teeth in pain, and said: "I, I didn't set fire, I... just passed by!"

Xu Che came over and kicked him on the waist, causing the big pillar to roll to the side, and said, "Return his mother's stubbornness! Not to mention that leg, I'll give you a discount!"

The iron clamp on the rolling leg of the big pillar dragged on the ground again, the pain made him almost faint, and he shouted again and again: "I say, I say, my master asked me to set the fire!"

Da Zhuzi didn't say anything and everyone could have guessed that this was the case, but one more word from him was just a testimony.

Before Liang Youde came to make things difficult for Xianglai, he felt that something was wrong, and guessed that it was related to Li Yongfa, but there was no evidence and no reason to do so. Now that the stolen goods have been obtained together, Xianglai cannot easily let Li Yongfa go.

She told Xu Che: "Open his iron clip, we will hold him, and now we will settle accounts with Li Yongfa!"

Xu Che was even happier when he heard that, he lowered his waist and pinched the two clip springs, and then pulled the iron clips off from under Dazhuzi's legs. I've seen it before, how can I take this injury on his leg seriously, throw the iron clip aside, grab the waistband of Dazhu's trousers and pick it up again, and said to Xianglai: "Let's go!"

Xianglai knew that he was strong enough, so he didn't bother to go home and lead the horse. He turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, you all heard what Da Zhuzi said just now, would you like to testify against me?" ?!"

These people in Xitun all point to making more money in Xianglai next year. Li Yongfa wants to burn the rice of Xianglai, which is difficult for the people in Xitun. Whether these people want to watch the excitement or help Xianglai Everyone said in unison: "Go, let's go together!"

So a group of people went straight to the East Village with great momentum.

When they arrived at Li Yongfa's house, no one else came forward, Xu Che held a big pillar in one hand, and clenched his fist into a fist with the other, banging on the door for a while, shouting, "Open the door, damn it! If you don't open the door, I will kick the door open!"

Li Yongfa hated Xianglai so much that his teeth ached. He sent Dazhuzi to burn food. He didn't even feel like going to sleep. He went to see if the fire was on after a while, but when he looked around, he saw the valley field south of Xitun A group of people gathered, and it seemed that something was happening there, making noise and shouting.

Li Yongfa's heart suddenly became aroused, and he thought that the fire of Da Zhuzi hadn't been lit. He didn't know if it was ignited and extinguished, or he was caught by mistake. I hope it wasn't the latter.

He was worried here, but when he looked over there again, he saw a group of people moving towards the East Village. Li Yongfa felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Da Zhuzi must have been arrested.

In order to shirk responsibility, the old man hurried back to the house to turn off the lights, took off his clothes and got under the covers to pretend he didn't know.

Dazhuzi is not the only long-term worker in his family, but other people are responsible for working in the fields. They don't know much about what Li Yongfa did, let alone that he sent Dazhuzi out to burn food for others tonight. The person was so smashed that he ran out and asked, "Who is it? What is this for?"

Xu Che replied outside: "What the hell do you think I am doing? Your family members have been caught by me. What do you think I can do?!"

Xianglai reckoned that the questioners in the courtyard might not know the details, so after Xu Che called out, she added, "Tell your master, Chen Xianglai sent back the big pillar!"

"Big pillar?"

The long-time worker who asked the question was a little dumbfounded. He went back to the place where the long-term worker lived and took a look. Sure enough, he didn't see the big pillar. He hurried to the main room where Li Yongfa lived, knocked on the door, and said Xianglai's words again.
