Chapter 46 Fire
  After tidying up for a whole day, it now looks like a home.

The only regret was that he couldn't cook a decent meal. Ye Xiangxiang took Ye Lixuan out for a walk around the yard and brought back several kinds of wild vegetables.

Although it is still a wild vegetable, at least it is fresh, which is better than eating dried vegetables.

Ye Hongchang said, "Everyone will work hard for a few more days, and when we have a clear idea, I will go to the town to buy some belongings. By then, we will be in good shape and be able to eat serious meals."

Although I don’t have any food on hand, I still have money.

The Ye family had a good life before, and Wang also managed the household and saved a lot of money.

On the way to escape the famine, the most lacking thing was food, but the money was not spent.

Since he said he wanted to be a family, Ye Hongchang didn't think about settling down on his own and having everyone in the village help him.

There is no well in the yard, so we have to fetch water from outside.

Ye Xiangxiang went to help and found someone passing by outside. These people were different from the ones he had seen before, both in their dress and in their eyes.

They seemed to be very curious and wanted to come over to talk but didn't dare, so they looked around.

Ye Xiangxiang carried water and walked back, deliberately approaching them.

A woman finally couldn't help it anymore and whispered, "You are so brave. Do you know what these people do? How dare you come to this place."

Ye Xiangxiang asked quickly, "Auntie, how long have you lived here? How many people are there in Xiema Village? Why didn't I see you yesterday?"

There were so many things she wanted to know, but the aunt didn't dare to speak.

Seeing someone riding a horse in the distance, she hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly. Staying here will only lead to death. Go as far as you can, and don't mess with these people."

After saying that, those people left quickly, keeping their heads hanging.

The man on the horse was waving his whip, and when he passed them, he whipped it hard, and the skin on the back of the woman who had just spoken to Ye Xiangxiang was suddenly torn.

Ye Xiangxiang was startled, clenched his fists, and wanted to go up and argue.

The man seemed to have nothing happened and quickly ran away on his horse.

Ye Xiangxiang stepped forward and said, "Auntie, we are temporarily staying here. Come in first and let me treat your wounds, right?"

Hearing this, those people seemed to have seen the King of Hell and ran faster.

Ye Xiangxiang really wanted to find out more things from them, but now it seemed that it would be difficult.

She stood there in trance, and Meng Tianlang took the bucket from her hand, "Go back first, it's easy to be in danger when it gets dark."

Ye Xiangxiang looked back at him, "Why are you always so mysterious and invisible? Do you make no sound when you walk?"

Meng Tianlang curled his lips, "Then you have to be more careful next time, otherwise you will hurt people without even knowing it."

He turned around and entered the courtyard. Ye Xiangxiang caught up with him and said, "Do you know Qing Kung Fu?"

Meng Tianlang looked back at her with surprise in his eyes.

It's not that he's surprised that she knows he can do Qing Kung Fu, but he's surprised that she only knows it now.

He didn't speak, which was his acquiescence.

Ye Xiangxiang only thought it was magical. He had only seen it in novels before, but he never thought that someone could actually do it.

After Meng Tianlang put down the bucket, Ye Xiangxiang asked, "Have you seen those people just now? I don't know where they live. They don't look like horse thieves. Is it possible that there are still people living in this village?"

"In the northeast corner of the village, there are about thirty people living. They should be the original villagers of the village. They will be active in the village, but they are controlled by horse thieves everywhere. That's all I know."

Meng Tianlang seemed to casually tell the situation in the village, "There are about twenty people in this gang of horse thieves and more than a dozen horses. Most of them are men. They are all tall and strong."

He sat down, looked at Ye Xiangxiang, and expressed his opinion, "If we fight hard, you are no match for them, and you will die miserably."

Ye Xiangxiang blinked, "When did you find out?"

"I went out for a walk in the afternoon, and now I only know this. You can figure out the rest by yourself." It was not easy to get this information. If he hadn't taken the initiative to help, Ye Xiangxiang wouldn't have known how long it would have taken to find out. .

She nodded, "So there are indeed ordinary people in this village, but these people were too cruel and drove people to live on the edge and took over the village."

Meng Tianlang agreed, and Ye Xiangxiang said, "Thank you very much. I'll discuss it with my father."

After Ye Xiangxiang left, Meng Chang came to Meng Tianlang's side.

"It's not suitable to stay here for long."

The horse thieves cannot tolerate the people of Tongxin Village, so they will find a way to drive them out.

In order to protect the villagers, Ye Hongchang must rise up and resist.

With the young master's temperament, if a fight breaks out, he will definitely come to help. How can he hide his whereabouts then?
  Meng Tianlang didn't look back, "Grandpa, you don't have to remind me that I won't be able to stay here for long. Can I really live a stable life here?"

If this is really possible, Meng Chang would certainly be willing.

He looked at Meng Tianlang's back and couldn't help but sigh.

The word stability is really out of reach for him.

It was night, and everyone slept in their clothes.

Ye Xiangxiang stayed up all night. He couldn't stand it any longer tonight and slept deeper than yesterday.

Ye Xiangxiang seemed to hear a cough in his dream. He felt flustered and uncomfortable, and it took him a while to wake up.

Wang saw her eyes open and breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiangxiang, get out quickly, there's a fire."

"on fire?"

Ye Xiangxiang just asked, but there was already a commotion outside, and he heard everyone shouting, "Hurry up and put out the fire, it's on fire!"

She looked outside, and there were flames outside the window.

"Grandma, go out first and then talk."

The others had already gone out, but she just fell into too deep sleep, so Wang kept calling her here.

There is no fire here, but there is already thick smoke billowing, and the fire in the nearby yard is fierce. If it cannot be controlled, these houses will be burned down.

Ye Hongchang finally felt relieved when he saw his mother and daughter coming out, "Mom, are you okay?"

Ms. Wang said anxiously, "It's okay, put out the fire quickly. Such a big fire will burn down all these houses."

Ye Hongchang said loudly, "Let's first see if the people in the room have come out and who is missing."

It is always necessary to understand where the people are before you can decide where to start fighting the fire.

Ye Xiangxiang saw that his family members were all there, and looked around for Meng Chang and Meng Tianlang.

Not seeing them, Ye Xiangxiang was a little flustered, "Dad, have you seen Mr. Meng and the others?"

Ye Hongchang's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head, "No, I haven't seen them yet."

When Ye Xiangxiang heard this, he immediately looked for someone. It was originally dark outside the yard, but the fire here illuminated the road brightly, but he could not see where the two of them were.

"Meng Tianlang?"

Ye Xiangxiang shouted, but no one responded. She put her hands to her lips and shouted again, "Mr. Meng, where are you?"

The only response she received was the sound of fire and the panicked cries of everyone.

 It's on fire, it's on fire
