Chapter 11 On Fire
At this moment, the villagers were crowding inside and outside, booing and watching Aunt Liu and Li Cuihua's fight. There was a clatter of voices, and Yuan Xiaoyu's sound was like mosquitoes in the vegetable market, and could not be heard at all.

She had no choice but to yell loudly, "It's on fire, Mrs. Liu, your house is on fire!"

While trotting to the nearby field, he picked up a few handfuls of fresh grass with his hands, trying to cover the flames, but the fire grew stronger with the autumn wind, and he saw that half of the wall was burned.

A speck of grass can't resist the spread of the flames!

Originally, the courtyard wall was made of yellow mud and adobe brick walls with grass roots, but the pile of firewood under the wall and the stalks after the autumn harvest were flammable, and sparks blazed into the sky.

Following her yell, the villagers also reacted, and some of them smelled the unusual smell of charcoal fire, and hurriedly looked around for something to put out the fire.

"Oh my god, this Liu family is on fire!"

Some people panicked, "What, what's going on..."

The village chief Li Wei was the first to react, and quickly shouted at the crowd watching, "Don't be dazed, hurry up and help!"

Everyone in the village was dumbfounded, and hurriedly helped find something to put out the fire. Some people hurried home to fetch water from the river to put out the fire, while others threw fresh branches to fight the flames.

People in this era are still very united, especially if there is a fire at home, if you don’t help, the next time your family has something to do, other people will not help.

"My God!" Aunt Liu wailed, she couldn't think of whether she stepped on dog shit today, or didn't read the almanac when she went out, otherwise how could she be so unlucky?

Fortunately, she was straightforward, so she rushed into the courtyard together with her man, and came out with a bucket and pole. Fortunately, there was a river not far from the door of the house, so it was convenient to fetch water.

"Village chief, it's too slow to fetch water. It's quick and convenient for the big guy to scrape some yellow soil on this slope and cover it on the fire!"

Seeing that the fire was burning into the yard, Yuan Xiaoyu and Aunt Liu didn't have any fatal hatred. If the house really burned down, she couldn't help but watch.

Yuan Xiaoyu saw that Aunt Liu was too slow to fetch water, and estimated that it would take them about 5 minutes to fetch water for a round trip, so she suggested that they fetch a hoe, or dig some loess with their hands to cover the fire, so as to insulate the fire. Oxygen to extinguish the fire.

After all, the quality of life of people in this era is very low, and there is no extra money to buy a house.

Li Wei was a little skeptical, "Is this really possible?"

Seeing the suspicious look of the village chief, she quickly dug out a few pieces of soft soil with her fingers, and threw them in a place where the flames were small, and the fire in that piece was about to be extinguished in an instant.

Li Wei finally made up his mind, and called a few strong men to dig soil in the mud in front of Aunt Liu's house. There were so many people and strength, and the biggest fire was almost extinguished after a few baskets of soil went down.

When the rest of the people who fetched water came back, a few buckets of water went down, and the fire was completely extinguished.

The big guys survived in a hurry, and some of them were sweating anxiously. Aunt Liu and Li Benjun were even more anxious. In this era, the house is the biggest property. In addition, they have three sons in their family. But what about my daughter-in-law!
fortunately……

Only half of the wall beside the door collapsed, and it will be easy to repair if we dig some yellow mud tomorrow and cover it with grass roots.

If the house inside was really set on fire, there would really be no place to cry.

Aunt Liu held on to the roots of the tree with lingering fear, looked at her courtyard wall in a daze, and held her man's arm with the other hand, feeling lucky.

Li Wei took a breath and looked at Li Benjun, "Benjun, why don't you hurry up and thank Xiaoyu, if she hadn't reminded you, your house would have burned down..."

"Hey, that's right! Don't look at Xiaoyu as thin, but she has a really smart brain and knows how to use soil?" Granny Yang looked at Yuan Xiaoyu with a smile in her eyes, as if she was her own granddaughter, and there was nothing wrong with her.

"Hey, that's the reason! If it wasn't for Xiaoyu's cleverness, Li Benjun's old house wouldn't have burned down, and even a few buckets of water wouldn't be able to cover it..."

Li Wei was a little curious, and asked Yuan Xiaoyu seriously, "Xiaoyu, where did you know the method, it's really easy to use!"

"This, it's taught in the book, I'll also write it down and borrow the method of the predecessors!"

"Hey, you girl has a really smart brain. I remember you didn't study before you graduated from junior high school, right?"

Yuanshen's low education is not because she is stupid, but because her scumbag mother stopped studying for herself after her second marriage. Otherwise, according to the salary of her biological father Yuen Long, a level 6 fitter, she would definitely be sent to university, provided that she can read!

"Yes, there is no way, the family is poor."

She also admitted openly, it's nothing, many people in the village are illiterate, and many of their children have not graduated from elementary school, so the junior high school education is not bad!
It's just that she is a little inferior compared to some people in the city, but Yuan Xiaoyu was a college student in her last life!In this day and age, what kind of education and vision can be compared with those muddy legs?
There is no such good thing as the nine-year compulsory education in this year!
"Hey, that's smart too. If it wasn't for Li Cuihua and his wife, they would really be a disaster to a good girl!" Granny Yang frowned, seeing Yuan Xiaoyu's cute appearance, she hated Li Cuihua and Yuan Xiaoyu even more in her heart. Wang Wei.

Ruin the daughter of a good family!

People in the village also started talking, after all, this girl Yuan Xiaoyu is really kind-hearted and smart!

Aunt Liu was flustered with embarrassment and hotness. Half an hour ago, she was still saying that she had a small butt and couldn't find her husband's family! "Xiao Yu, Ma'am is wrong, don't blame Ma'am for being stupid and not good at speaking!"

Li Benjun glanced at his daughter-in-law, but he knew that it would not be easy for Mrs. Liu to bow her head and give in. "Yes! Xiaoyu, I really have to thank you. It's not convenient at home today. Come to uncle's for dinner tomorrow!"

"It's okay, we are from the same village, uncle, you are welcome!"

Yuan Xiaoyu smiled faintly. After all, everyone is in the same village, and it is more important to be friendly, otherwise, if she really gets into trouble with scumbag parents, no one will help her.

However, what about Li Cuihua and Wang Weiren?
It seems that no one has been seen just now.

"Where are Wang Wei and his wife?" Someone in the village also found out, but they didn't see it after looking around.

"Hey, I saw the couple. They said they went home to fetch water from a bucket, but they didn't come out again after they went back!"

"Hey, this is really a good bamboo shoot! How can such a clever girl like Xiaoyu be exposed to such parents!"

The aunt in the village began to feel aggrieved, Xiaoyu was so kind, "Hey, just now, the two of them ran away after beating someone and having an accident?"

"How do you think the fire started in the blue sky?" Li Dazhuang from the village was usually a bully, but now he picked up the topic and smiled mischievously, obviously knowing the reason.

"Hey, did Wang Wei throw the leaf smoke into the firewood pile?"
