Chapter 178: Fire

Xiaotao jumped out of the window in a semi-wet quilt. Because she was wrapped in a quilt, it didn't hurt much. After getting up, he turned his head and found that a large amount of firewood was put on the feet under the window of the door, and the firewood was drenched with oily combustion aids. No one had to tell her that she couldn't help screaming. The sad cry sounded in the night sky in an instant, attracting the dogs in the village to bark one after another. The quiet village under the night instantly became noisy from uneasiness. While screaming, Xiaotao subconsciously used the quilt on her body to put out the flames, but it was useless. The flames were getting stronger and stronger, and the whole house was up.

Suddenly, the woman's words sounded in her ear, and she said:

First, someone is going to burn us to death! Who is it? This little peach has no clue and doesn't know how to guess.

Second, find someone to put out the fire! She shouted so sharply that she believed that the villagers around her would soon hear it and came to help.

Third, save Xiaomei and Xiaoli! Yes, with such a sharp cry, she has heard the shouts and footsteps of her neighbors around her. Why didn't she see Xiaomei and Xiaoli get up?

I don't have time to think about it anymore. Anyway, Xiaotao knows that she can't think of anything. It must be right to listen to the wife's words! The wall of the main house is full of dry firewood, but the wing is only lit, and there is no dry firewood and other things, so the fire is relatively weak. She pulled the wooden board outside the door and rushed into the room. She only felt a greasy fragrance. She turned over and withdrew, opened the door, then returned to the well and shook a bucket of water, and rushed into the house. Involuntarily, she couldn't help pouring it directly on Xiaomei and Xiaoli**.

The two were excited by the well water and woke up. They didn't have time to ask more. They were scared by the red light outside, and then a burning smell came! Cough!" For a moment, the choking smoke was inhaled into the nose, stung and scratched the throat, and the two girl coughed together.

Xiaotao knew that they must be scared now, so she couldn't help stretching out her hand to pull it and said urgently, "It's on fire! Run away quickly!"

Little pear trembling over the cotton-padded jacket and cried, "What's going on? Isn't today the first day of the Chinese New Year? In fact, Dashun has no rule to prevent fire on the first day of the Chinese New Year, but no one is in the mood to correct her.

At this time, there was a sound of patting the door outside the courtyard door. Before the three of them could act, the courtyard door was kicked open and the noisy footsteps rushed in. Xiaomei and Xiaoli couldn't care about the water, put on their coats and jumped out of bed.

Xiaomei rushed out of the burning door and looked around. There were villagers who came to put out the fire spontaneously everywhere. She turned around and grabbed Xiaotao and hurriedly asked, "Where's your wife? Where is my wife? He shouted at the little pear behind him, " Grab out a quilt. Don't freeze your wife on such a cold day!"

As more and more villagers rushed in, the wing and the main room were not connected like the corridor in the city. The fire, which was not big, soon went out. Xiaoli immediately returned to the room, took a blackened quilt, and turned her head to look at Xiaotao, "Where's the lady?"

Xiaotao looked at the quilt in her hand in a daze and did not take it with her hand. Instead, she pointed to the main house completely shrouded in the fire. "Madam..." The tone was confused and uncertain, and her voice was also trembling, as if she suddenly remembered something.

"You...you mean..." Xiaomei and Xiaoli turned their heads and looked at her at the same time. Xiaotao blinked her eyes twice and nodded in a daze and said, "My wife told me to come out first to find someone to put out the fire, and then save you two..."

Xiaomei thought for a moment, immediately shook her head and said with a dark face, "You mean... wife..."

Xiaotao stroked her forehead and nodded, "Yes...is it's still..." The three people were going to rush to the fire house together, but the main house is different from the wing, because it was the main house that burned first, and the wood was deliberately sprinkled with oil. Now although the villagers who were put out the fire splashed a lot of water, the wellhead is limited, and they can only A bucket of water was carried, and all the neighbors' wells around it were used, but it didn't help at all.

Someone next to him shouted, "How many girls are confused? Is this fire so big that you still rushing in? No matter how expensive this thing is, it is not as expensive as human life..."

The villagers around to put out the fire nodded when they heard it: "It's not a good thing. If this thing is gone, you can make money and make it again. If this life is gone, there will be nothing!"

Li Zheng also rushed over, "What's going on?"

As she was asking, Xiaotao suddenly turned around and grabbed the quilt in Xiaoli's hand, grabbed the bucket of the person next to her, poured all the water on it, and then put on a quilt and held a quilt. Her eyes swept the fire room, gritted her teeth, and rushed directly into the sea of fire!

"Xiaotao," Xiaomei was taken to the ground without holding her. She got up and rushed in while crying. "Madam..." But she was quickly hugged by the mother of the child next to her. Just now, she saw a fat dark shadow getting into the fire house. Now Xiaomei is looking at it and going to die?" What are you doing? Are you crazy? This fire is hopeless! The house is about to collapse. Do you still want to go in and die?

"My wife is still there... Xiaotao is also in..." This matter is obviously not clear to be explained in one or two sentences. Xiaomei is sobbing. What's going on? On the first day of the Chinese New Year, tomorrow we can happily go back to accompany my wife to give birth. Why has it changed as soon as we open our eyes?

"What? Snow in the house? Is she still in the house? The mother hugged Xiaomei tightly, but she could hardly stand still. When she just put out the fire, she clearly saw several girls standing at the door. The beams in the main room collapsed without any sound. The villagers who put out the fire believed that there was no one in it. I never thought that Xuejian... Xuejian was still in the house! If she was really in the house and there was no movement at this time, it wouldn't be...

"Mom, why are you still standing here stupidly? Where's the girl? Take a few sisters to our house for a warm meeting..." A scorched child was busy fgging water, rushed over and said a few words, and then ran away.

The mother recovered and let go of Xiaomei, but she rushed to the sea of fire, but was pulled back by the fire waves and neighbors. She cried sadly: "See you, Xue! See you in the snow!"

Xiao Li took Xiaomei's hand and cried, "What should I do? What's wrong with this!"

Xiaomei also sat on the ground and said in a daze, "If your wife has something to do, let's go with her!"

Mei came late, and the buttons of the cotton jacket were not buttoned well. When she came in, she saw that the courtyard was in a mess. She found Xiaomei and Xiaoli, and then cried: "It is said that there is someone's house, but why are you?"

Xiaomei quickly covered her mouth and burst into tears, "Your child is usually smart. Why do you say stupid things now? Whose house has it? It's also a big deal!"

Mei looked around and shook Xiaomei's arm and said, "It's cold on the ground. Sister Mei, go to our house to keep warm! Xuejian's wife and little sister peach are here. I went to call them to my house together.

One sentence made Xiaomei and Xiaoli cry. Xiaoli choked and said, "Madam...Madam...Xiaotao...is...in the room..."

Mei was stunned, and then her eyes widened and said, "No way! They didn't... Didn't they come out?"

When Xiaomei heard this, she remembered what Xiaotao had just said. It was Xiaotao who asked Xiaotao to come out to save her and Xiaoli first. Thinking about this, her heart was cut like a knife. "Xiaoli and I also woke up later. Somehow, I slept so deeply that I didn't even know that the house was..."

The three stood up helping each other and looked at the main room together with tears, "I don't know why Xiaotao came out, but the wife didn't come out?"

They didn't know that someone maliciously set fire to them, let alone that they had been blown away before, but now they also find that there are many doubts. Why did Xiaotao come out in the same room, but the wife did not come out? Xiaomei is a detailed person. The more she thinks about this, the more strange it becomes. If there is a fire in the kitchen, it should be a big fire in the wing room. How can it seem that the main house is so badly burned?

Thinking about this, Xiaomei got up and looked around the main house. It snowed during the day, and there should be some snow on the roof. How could it burn so easily? It's also on fire. Why is the fire in the room so weak? Sister Mei, do you say, do you think Xiaotao will save the wife? Xiaoli followed her silently and asked coldly.

"Can! Definitely can!" Xiaomei nodded hard and shouted to Xiaoli and Mei behind her, "You can definitely do it. Don't worry!"

The three of them snuggled together and stood in front of the room where the fire was getting smaller, looking in eagerly. The fire was saved and the house was over. As the fire continued to fall, the beams fell down, which made people tremble.

Xiaomei's heart is getting colder and colder. Is it possible that someone wants to harm us? So...

It has passed midnight, and the weather is particularly cold. The snowflakes that stopped before dinner are now starting to fall again. The fire was basically extinguished by the active rescue of the villagers, but this house is also very important.

The girl's eyes were sharp and pointed to the black and scorched house and said, "Look! Come out!"

Xiaomei and others rushed forward and helped the people, "Brother, thank you, thank you for saving my wife!"

The baby did not say anything, but carefully handed the unconscious Xuejian to the mother's arms, turned around and rushed back. The sister shouted behind, "Brother, brother, are you crazy?"

The mother-born mother held Xuejian and was anxious to go to her home. As she walked, she said, "When did the boy get in? Didn't I see it?"

Xiaomei left Xiaoli and Mei waiting for the birth of a child and Xiaotao. She was also full of questions, but no one could answer the question. Seeing the expression of the mother who gave birth to the child, she quickly took two steps and whispered, "Aun Aunt He, the fire has basically been controlled. The baby brother and Xiaotao will be fine. Don't worry! "

Back to her own home, the mother gave birth to a child carefully put Xuejian on the fire with the help of Xiaomei. There was no one who knew pharmacologicals in the village. However, looking at Xuejian, the two guessed that they should have been choked and fainted. Sure enough, after this toss, Xuejian woke up. Turning around and seeing the two of them, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What, Aunt He, are you dead too?"
