farmer's wife

Chapter 63 Set fire
When the village chief asked someone to carry wild boars up the mountain, he also told everyone that everyone was safe.

Fu Yan let go of the tense tone in her heart.

It was completely dark.

She was also self-aware of her own strength, and seeing that many villagers had already gone up the mountain to help, Fu Yan didn't want to join in the fun.

Fu Yan came back and closed the courtyard door, took Xiao Jian to wash first, and then let him sleep.

Xiao Jian was lying on the bed, so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she still held on and asked again: "Is brother really coming back soon?"

Fu Yan smiled and patted his quilt: "Yes, everyone has already gone up the mountain to pick them up. Go to sleep, and you can see brother tomorrow morning."

When Xiao Jian fell asleep, Fu Yan simply did not move, and sat quietly waiting for Xiao Lie.

It was quiet in the small farmyard.

Xiao Dabao has been squatting in the corner of Xiao's backyard for a while.

After listening for a long time, there was no movement, so he guessed that the women and children in the house had already fallen asleep.

Xiao Dabao grabbed hold of the low courtyard wall in the backyard and crawled in.

Xiao's kitchen is just at the corner connecting the lobby and the east room.

After Xiao Dabao landed, he looked at the front yard with his probe under the moonlight.

There were no lights in the yard.After the dim oil lamp in Xiao Jian's room flickered and went out, Fu Yan didn't light it up again, she thought that it hadn't been long, when Xiao Lie came back, she could just come out, why bother lighting a candle to disturb A Jian's sleep.

Xiao Dabao gently pushed open the kitchen door, and took advantage of the moonlight to look through the things in the kitchen.

Fu Yan likes to cook fresh food for each meal, so there are not many fruits and vegetables in the kitchen.

Xiao Dabao just dug out half a bucket of rice noodles, a few eggs and half a pheasant.

And this made Xiao Dabao even more angry, he had meat and rice, and the food was so good, yet Xiao Lie still refused to lend him money.

Therefore, he made up his mind to give them some color!

Xiao Dabao moved all the food he could take away into a basket, planning to take it away after setting the fire.

Anyway, Xiao's house will be burned by then, and there will be nowhere to find these food.

In fact, he also wanted to find the Xiao family's silver, but just now he quietly approached the east room where Xiao Lie lived, and the door was locked without pushing.

It was locked by Fu Yan habitually when he just went out to inquire about the news.

After she came back, she took Xiao Jian to wash up directly, and she hasn't returned to the east room yet.

Westinghouse is lived by a sick man, so there is nothing of value to be had, and there are already sporadic fires on the mountain in the distance, and the people who went up the mountain are about to come down.

time is limited.

Xiao Dabao didn't hesitate anymore, the Xiao's kitchen didn't have much firewood and hay.

He took firewood and sprinkled it at the junction of the main hall, the kitchen and the east room, and then spread hay on it.

After finishing these, he blew on the torch and threw it in the corner of the main hall.This allows the fire to build up slowly, giving him room to retreat.

When the flames ignited, Xiao Dabao turned and went back to the kitchen to get the vegetable basket.

At this moment, a wooden stick hit him hard on the back of the head, Xiao Dabao swayed twice, fainted on the ground, and scattered melons, fruits, rice and noodles all over the floor.

Xiao Dabao was groping around in the yard, it was inevitable that there would be noises in the quiet yard.

When Fu Yan heard these voices, she thought it was a thief.

Most of the young and strong people in the village have gone up the mountain, maybe some thieves want to take advantage of this loophole.

Most of the valuable things at home are stored in their east room, which is locked and cannot be opened.The thief can only steal some food at home, which is not worth a few dollars, and safety is the most important thing.

So, Fu Yan woke Xiao Jian up and covered his mouth to keep him silent.

Xiao Jian woke up with a start, seeing her sister-in-law's serious expression, she obediently wrapped herself in a small quilt and curled up on the bed without saying a word.

Fu Yanxu opened the wooden door of the West House, and saw the movement of the man through the crack of the door, it was actually about to set fire!
It's too much, this is trying to murder for money!
After Fu Yan got angry, she forced herself to calm down. At this time, she and Xiao Jian were the only ones at home, so she couldn't panic.

This thief is rough-haired and extremely unskilled in business, so he is not the kind of desperate gangster.

Fu Yan took Xiao Jian down and hid behind the door, and whispered: "Stand here and don't move, don't make a sound, and when my sister-in-law calls you later, you run to the gate of the courtyard and don't look back! Did you hear that? !"

Xiao Jian opened her eyes wide, her hands and feet hidden in the quilt were cold, she nodded calmly.

Immediately, Fu Yan took out the door latch, and when the thief finished setting the fire and was taking food with his back to the kitchen door, he quickly approached and hit him hard on the back of the head with a stick.

Anger mixed with fear, Fu Yan used all her might.

Xiao Dabao was not active in his four limbs on weekdays, and his body was not that strong, so he was immediately knocked unconscious by this sap.

Fu Yan's palms were sweaty, and she poked the man on the ground with a stick.

not moving at all.

Pushing aside the man's messy hair, isn't this Xiao Dabao? !

For no reason, why did you come to her house and set fire to it?

It's as unreasonable as his mother!
Fu Yan kicked him violently again, regardless of whether he was dead or alive.

He deserved to die, and his destiny was to live.

The fire in the corner of the main room outside was getting bigger and bigger, and it had spread to the kitchen and the east room, and the wooden frames on the windows of the main hall were burned and fell off.

Fu Yan didn't hesitate anymore, she threw the door bolt into the fire, quickly went back to the east room to open the lock, and at the same time called Xiao Jian loudly: "Ah Jian, come out!"

Fu Yan went straight to the wooden box behind the bed, took out a small exquisite box and ran out.

She kept the most important things in the house, such as bank notes and land deeds, in this box.

For other things, it doesn't matter even if there is a loss.

Children cannot run as fast as adults.

Just as Xiao Jian opened the courtyard door, Fu Yan also came over.

She hugged Xiao Jian, stuffed the small box into his arms, and wrapped him in the quilt again.

Urgent and frightened, she didn't bother to put on Xiao Jian's coat and shoes.

Fu Yan ran out of the yard holding Xiao Jian, who was like a silkworm baby, and shouted for help: "Come on! Come on! It's on fire!"

Many people in the village went up the mountain tonight, so most of them were also waiting for their family members to come back and did not fall asleep.

The neighbors closest to Xiao Lie's house were the first to hear the cry for help. As soon as they heard that there was a fire, everyone rushed over with their wooden buckets and basins, scooping up water.

The mother-in-law of the Chen family who lived in front saw the two of them in a panic, and quickly pulled Fu Yan aside.

He wanted to take over Xiao Jian, but the child might be frightened, but he hugged Fu Yan's neck tightly with one hand, buried his small body in sister-in-law's arms, and refused to be carried away by others.

Granny Chen had no choice but to stop hugging him, and comforted Fu Yan, "It's okay, as long as people are okay. Let's stand aside and let everyone put out the fire."

Fu Yan finally came to his senses at this moment, looking at the raging fire in front of him, he was covered in cold sweat.

The village chief was still in the village, and rushed over when he heard the calls for help and firefighting, and hurriedly organized people to put out the fire.
