Hard times have room

Chapter 27 Losing Things

Xu Xiuying slumped on the ground in a mess, and muttered to herself, "It's over, everything is over."

Li Qiang followed Xu Xiuying, and when he came back, he saw that the house was in a mess.

He was fine before he left, why did it end like this when he came back? Li Qiang always had an unbearable grief on his smiling face, with tears in his eyes. , which not only makes people read a joke, but also makes people look down on it.

"Qiangzi, you have to hold on, the whole family is relying on you." Xu Xiuying's eldest brother Xu Dabing helped Li Qiang and did not let him fall.

At this time, in the small area of ​​Li's house, the courtyard and the courtyard were crowded with people from the village who came to put out the fire and watch the lively activities. There were men, women, children, young and middle-aged people, and the Li's courtyard, which was quite large, was literally surrounded by a small area.

When fighting the fire earlier, Aunt Cuihua shouted and spread the word, as long as they were at home and in good health, they basically came to put out the fire.

In addition to those who came back later, a hundred and 80 people squeezed into Li's house, and it was full. There was only a road at the door for people to come in and out without blocking it.

The presence of so many people does not mean that the Li family has a good relationship with the people in the village, but the Li family has a poor relationship with most of the people in the village.

Everyone in the village came to fight the fire. One was to help each other in the village. Today I will help you, and tomorrow you will help me. It is an established rule that people who do not do this in the village will be excluded by everyone, and the other is unbearable. After all, at this time Life is already so hard, they can't do it if they want to watch the Li family burn down.

So as soon as they heard the cries of fire fighting, a lot of people came to the Li family one after another. When there were too many people, it became a mess, and it was still dark and messy. It was inevitable that some people would fish in the water.

Inside and outside, coming and going, busy running around to put out the fire, it is inevitable that some shameless scoundrels and some sneaky bastards have mixed in.

By putting out the fire, they sneaked into the Li family's house and touched things everywhere. The rest of the Li family hadn't returned yet, and the scene was a mess, which made them even more unscrupulous.

When some people are looking for things inside, they don't care about anything. When they touch something, they tug and slap it, and then put it in the wide trouser pocket, or put it directly at the back of the clothes, and then take advantage of the chaos. Go out from a dark place where there are few people, wait for the things to be put away, and then sneak back back, unknowingly.

At that time, even if someone saw their figures, they would not be surprised by their behavior, and then doubted them. After all, they rushed to put out the fire. It was normal to walk around, and with the natural protection of the night, it was even more safe.

The few people who only stole things have ghosts in their hearts. They are aware of who has moved in the Li family. They are aware of each other, but at the same time they have a tacit understanding.

After the fire in the Li family was put out except for the firewood house, and the entire Li family yard calmed down, the Li family, who had previously sent his son Xu Hao to look for it, also returned successively.

First, Xu Xiuying had just returned with her front foot, and Li Qiang's back foot had arrived. When the two stood and breathed evenly, watching the scene in the courtyard, sisters Li Ju and Li Juan also came back out of breath.

"Dad, Mom, what's going on, who did it?" As soon as she entered the door, she was still out of breath. After seeing the scene of Li's house being burned again, Li Ju, who was quick-tempered and mature, couldn't hold her breath. asked breathlessly.

Anyone who sees the scene in front of them will not be able to stand the excitement, so I want to ask clearly and understand immediately.

Stimulated by these words, Xu Xiuying's eyes darkened, as if she had found a vent for her emotions, she walked in front of Li Ju, and the "slap" was a slap.

Li Ju was stunned by this loud slap, lowered her head, covered her swollen right cheek, and said nothing, her eyes filled with deep hatred.

It's like this again, facing myself, if I want to fight, I will fight.

But no matter how much she is dissatisfied with her mother Xu Xiuying, Li Ju does not dare to express her dissatisfaction openly. After all, Xu Xiuying is her own mother, and her daughter has no status in Xu Xiuying's eyes. If she dares to resist against her, Her end will not be any better than that oil bottle, her eldest sister Li Cao.

The loud slap made Li Qiang gasp evenly, immersed in the scene in front of him, regained his senses, walked over, and pushed Xu Xiuying away: "Are you crazy? Why beat her if you have nothing to do."

After speaking, he walked in front of Li Ju and patted her on the shoulder as a comfort. Then he turned around again and looked at the burning firewood room with an unclear expression in his eyes.

When Xu Bo's eldest son, Xu Er's eldest son, got the oil lamp and candle from the house, Xu Xiuying and Li Qiang couldn't wait to rush forward, each took a candle and lit it in the still burning woodhouse. Candle, he eagerly took the candle and walked into the house.

After the previous fire was put out, because the Li family hadn't come back, no one entered the house to check the situation. After all, it was not the Li family. There was really something missing when they went in. I don't want to cause trouble for myself, since no one has blatantly entered in front of everyone.

Xu Xiuying's mother's family is also, although it is in-law's family, but there are really few things, it is hard to say, just when the fire is about to go out, ask Xu Hao to call someone, and Xu Bo go to the house to get a candle and oil lamp, and wait for the Li family to check. It will definitely come in handy when you have something at home.

As a result, Xu Xiuying and Li Qiang didn't know if they didn't go in. When they entered, they were startled, and the room seemed to have been looted by bandits.

In the main room, there is only a set of tables, chairs, benches, and a few large items. The small items that are usually placed in the corners and small farm implements such as sickles and hatchets have been touched and cleaned, as if they were looted.

The room on the left is the bedroom of Xu Xiuying and Li Qiang. Because it is locked, it cannot be opened. There are many things in it, but several stones and clods were thrown in, making the room dirty.

The window screens on the windows were also torn from the outside in one piece, and several wooden window bars were interrupted. The traces should have been smashed when a stone was thrown in.

Looking at this scene, you can see that the couple usually offends people when they are outside!

The room on the right was the sisters' room, and it was unlocked. Who knew such a thing would happen.

There is only a box and a bed in this room. The box is filled with clothes, and the bed is only covered. When I go in, the box is opened, and the clothes are gone. The sheets on the bed are torn away, and the quilt The quilt cover was also taken off and stolen, leaving only the yellow cotton quilt that was trampled on with a few dirty footprints and thrown on the ground in a mess.

Mrs. Li's back room has the largest number of things, and the most lost things. The cabinet is empty, and the bed is only left with straw pads. It was broken, and the salt water and acid water flowed everywhere, and there was nowhere to look at the Mai Tai.
