Farmhouse smoke rises

Chapter 5

"Xiao Bai, take your foot off, don't keep putting it on me." Su Yu pushed Su Bai who was sleeping beside him like a dead pig, and said helplessly.

Insects were buzzing outside the window, and the moonlight, which was still bright just now, was now a little dim, as if the moon was hidden in the dark clouds and was shy and unwilling to come out.Because it was a family of five huddled on a small kang a few meters square, although the temperature outside cooled down, it didn't feel cold inside.

Su Yu is lying on the far right, and Su Bai is lying on her left.

Su Yu originally thought that her sleeping posture in modern times was bad enough. Every time her big bed was tossed by her, she happened to be sleeping with her aunt of the same age, and ended up snatching all the quilts from them. After leaving, her aunt woke up from the cold and wanted to drag the quilt back, but she still groaned and refused to do so.

When she got to this strange home and saw Su Bai's sleeping posture, she knew what the real "sleeping phase difference" was.Not only did he put his arms and legs on her body every time, but he also turned over and rolled, which did not stop people at all, and he also had a habit of squeezing Su Yu all the time.Su Fang also slept on his other side, but he didn't squeeze Su Fang at all.

As soon as he took Su Bai's arm down, he put it back up immediately.Su Gu'an on the other side was already snoring loudly.After a tiring day, he could almost fall asleep by touching the pillow.Su Yu sighed silently in her heart, bear with it.

But Su Guan was snoring, and Su Bai was sleeping so badly, how could she sleep.

Looking up at the roof in a daze, a few strands of moonlight can still seep through the fine tiles. No wonder the house leaks when it rains. It turns out that the tiles are all broken.It seems that we should find a way to mend the roof tomorrow, otherwise the weather will be even colder in a few days.

She turned sideways, just facing Su Bai.Taking a casual glance, she found a pair of clear eyes staring at her, which gave Su Yu a big jump.

"Xiaofang, why haven't you slept yet?" Su Yu asked softly, but even if she amplified her voice, no one else would wake up, because they were too sound asleep.

"I fell asleep, and then woke up again." Su Fang's voice was really confused, it turned out that it was because she just woke up, and seeing Su Yu staring blankly, Su Fang asked, "Eldest sister, why don't you sleep?" ? Is it uncomfortable?"

Su Yu smiled, and reached out to touch Su Fang's head. Su Fang's hair was still very soft, probably because of malnutrition, the hair was relatively thin, and it felt very comfortable to the touch: "I'm fine, just go to sleep now." Come on, Xiaofang, go to bed too, she has to get up and work tomorrow morning."

Su Fang responded softly and closed her eyes.

Su Yu also turned over to go to sleep, but vaguely seemed to hear someone shouting, the voice was intermittent and not very real.

I thought it was my auditory hallucination, but after a few minutes, the shouting became louder and louder, "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

Su Yu immediately sat up and put on her clothes. Seeing that no one in the house was up, she ran outside by herself.

She was a little dumbfounded when she went out and saw that the sky in the west was already dyed red by the flames.The night air was a bit stagnant, but the sound of crackling fire reached her ears exactly.

She has seen fires, not in movies or on the news, but real fires.At that time, she was still spending a long winter vacation at her grandma’s house in the countryside, and it was also in the middle of the night. She heard that a house not far away was on fire, but the parents left the child and ran out first. When they reacted and wanted to save , the eldest had already been buried in the sea of ​​flames, and the second was also burned badly, and died on the way to the hospital.

The older child was Su Yu's childhood playmate, while the younger child was still in elementary school.At that time, the second child whose eyes were burned and could no longer see anything still choked up and asked the uncle who was driving: "Uncle, can I still read and write in the future."

Hearing what the second child said, everyone in the car had red eyes for an instant, but no one dared to cry, and then they kept comforting: "Yes, little Ling'er will definitely get better..." As a result Such a fresh life is still gone.It is said that the wind can blow up a large white paper, but it cannot blow away a butterfly. It is said that the power of life is great, but it was not until the two lives left that Su Yu really realized that life is actually very fragile and light. It may break with a light blow.

That night, Su Yu stayed under her grandma's bed for a long time, and she didn't even dare to sleep alone for a long time to come.Water and fire are ruthless, Su Yu is more clear.

The flames in the west were obviously brighter, Su Yu tightened the clothes around her and ran outside.Her legs were even trembling, but her heart was firm.Nothing is more important than life, as long as she can be saved, she will not give up until the last second.

"Big sister!" Su Fang's voice suddenly came from behind her, causing Su Yu to stop in her tracks.

"Sister, I'll go with you!" The young Su Fang was only wearing a single dress at this time, and the buttons were not fastened, but she quickly ran to Su Yu's side and said firmly to her.

"Hurry up!" Su Yu pulled Su Fang up and ran towards the west, understanding the situation while running: "Can you tell whose house is on fire?"

Su Fang is not as tall as Su Yu, and she can't see the situation clearly, so she dare not say with certainty: "It looks like Old Li's family. There are five people living together in their family now, and there is a child who is just one month old. I hope they don't come out. What's the matter."

When Su Yu ran to the place, the fire could not be stopped. The thatched cottage caught fire so quickly that it was impossible to put it out. Many men in the village rushed over to help put out the fire, and there seemed to be some women in the team.

The woman standing next to Su Yu kept beating the man beside her, crying and saying, "It's all your fault, our dog is still inside, go and rescue him for me!"

Hearing the woman's words, Su Yu's body trembled violently. No wonder the two people looked as if they had been smoked. They turned out to be survivors of the fire.But listening to the woman's words, is there anyone else inside?

The man who was scolded was obviously just overly frightened and trembling all over, but he didn't want to save their child at all. He squatted on the ground and hugged his head and said, "I won't go, even if I'm beaten to death, I won't go!" Such a big fire, if you go there, you will be burned to death!"

Seeing that the man was so worthless, the woman gave him a hard push, "Okay! If you don't go, I will! I will save my son myself!" Then she ran into the flames.

Seeing the impulsiveness of the woman, the man knelt on the ground and hugged the woman's leg: "You can't go, we can have another child, if you are gone, you will have nothing!"

The woman kicked him: "You bastard! Get the hell out of here!"

Su Yu's eyes were full of flames, as if he couldn't hear everything around him, he could only watch a pair of parents who had lost their children struggling hard.Suddenly she thought of the fate of those two sisters back then, if it was because of their parents' unwillingness to save them, maybe they would not have died...

Clenching his fists tightly, Su Yu snatched a wooden bucket from a person, poured the water on himself from head to toe, threw the wooden bucket to Su Fang, and told her loudly: "Su Fang, follow the firefighter!" , I’m going to rescue the dog!”

Su Fang obviously didn't want Su Yu to take risks, but before she could catch Su Yu's clothes, Su Yu ran into the burning room.

Immediately she was also dumbfounded, "Eldest sister! Come back!"

[Recently, the temperature in the Northeast has dropped very badly. I don’t know if there are any readers here. It’s cold, so wear more clothes.Hmm, my last sentence must be for you to understand. . . . 】
