Chapter 56 The Thatched Cottage Was Burned

The next day, after noon, Yun Xiaoshuang was ready to go for another walk in the mountains.

Counting the time, the winter bamboo shoots will be born soon. If possible, it is best to go to the mountains to take a look. If they have not been excavated, the things inside will definitely be more valuable.

Yun Xiaoshuang hooked up with Zhao Hong again, "Let's go, come with me to the mountains?"

Yun Xiaoshuang softened her eyebrows and looked at her eagerly, almost putting her on his shoulders and taking her inside.

Zhao Hong didn't react at first and responded casually: "Okay."

When Yun Xiaoshuang heard this, she was so surprised that she dragged Zhao Hong deep into the mountain.

When the shade of the trees was almost blocking out the sun, and the chirping of birds in the mountains became brighter, Zhao Hong came back to her senses in shock. Didn't she follow Zhao Hong into the mountains? The expression on her face suddenly became...

Then he wrinkled up and looked at Yun Xiaoshuang, stagnant and afraid to move forward: "Sister-in-law, why did you bring me here?!"

"Didn't I tell you just now?" Yun Xiaoshuang was a little surprised. Did Zhao Hong not take what she said to heart at all? Is that what you said?!

"I thought you were going to take me to find some bamboo rats or noisy frogs, but I didn't expect you to go in here." Zhao Hong drooped her eyebrows and was about to cry. She trembled and looked around: "Sister-in-law

, look at it, I feel eerie in here, there are bats screaming, maybe some poisonous snakes will come out later..."

"It's almost winter, and this poisonous snake should have hibernated long ago." Yun Xiaoshuang interrupted her: "This is a deep mountain. The more people don't dare to come, it means there are more things in it. We may not be able to bring it with us by then.

What good things are you bringing back?"

"..." Zhao Hong was slightly startled and said with a cry: "I'm about to lose my life, what's the use of bringing the best things back?"

Yun Xiaoshuang said that she could not refute this statement, so she could only compromise.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you out right now, okay?" Yun Xiaoshuang sighed and could only pull Zhao Hong back.

"Ah!" Zhao Hong stepped into a cave, and the hairs on his body suddenly stood up. Looking at Yun Xiaoshuang's expression, he was so frightened that he almost cried: "Sister-in-law, what is this? Can you help me?"

Let me take a look, but I dare not look."

Zhao Hong closed his eyes, looking like he was about to die.

Yun Xiaoshuang sneered: "It's nothing, it's just a small hole."

"Ah!" Zhao Hong jumped up in fright after hearing this: "Then there must be snakes in here!"

Yun Xiaoshuang looked towards the place where Zhao Hong had just stepped and was shocked. It seemed that the place had been hollowed out by insects. She took a wooden branch and dug a hole.

Zhao Hong stood beside her and shivered.

Yun Xiaoshuang dug around and was shocked. She simply couldn't believe that these were actually Lei Zhenzi!

She dug some more down, and was almost shocked. There were so many inside. She took them out one by one and put them into her bamboo basket. She said excitedly: "Xiaohong, I didn't expect it."

You actually still have a life of prosperity!"

"What?" Zhao Hong was confused by what she said. When he saw her putting pieces of black stuff like donkey eggs into the bamboo basket, he thought she was stupid: "Sister-in-law, you can't be..."

Are you scared? What are these?"

"This is Wulingshen, also known as Lei Zhenzi. It is a rare medicinal material. If it can be used as medicine, it can be helpful for any condition. I wonder if anyone in the market knows about it?" Yun Xiaoshuang asked with a smile.

road.

When I go back, I will make a pot of chicken soup and add this in to help the Zhao family and myself to recuperate. As for the excess, will we watch it collected at the market?

If you don't take it, keep it with you, just in case.

Zhao Hong frowned, feeling that Yun Xiaoshuang was talking nonsense. She had never heard of medicinal materials such as Wulingshen in her whole life.

Yun Xiaoshuang returned home with a full load.

Before I even got to the house, I saw plumes of thick smoke rising in front of me. Logically speaking, I should have avoided it, but everyone seemed to be watching a show, just watching quietly, and no one came to help me.

Zhao Mocheng had already been pushed out by Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao. There were pickled sausages beside him, so the loss had probably been minimized.

Seeing Yun Xiaoshuang coming, the villagers took the initiative to move out of the way, but she didn't take it seriously and pushed Zhao Mocheng and the second uncle and aunt of the Zhao family to leave with their belongings.

However, Zhao Hong couldn't control the anger in her heart. Although she saw Yun Xiaoshuang's suggestive gaze, she couldn't help but put her hands on her hips, her face was filled with heartache and tears welled up, and she pointed at the crowd with glaring eyes: "

Who set the fire? Stand up for me!"

Second Aunt Zhao pulled Zhao Hong and whispered: "When I was trying to boil some water, I accidentally went to do something else and the flames jumped out, and then the house was set on fire. We think

We were trying to put out the fire, but the wind was blowing very hard and the fire spread too fast, making it impossible to put out the fire."

Although Zhao Hong didn't believe it, Second Aunt Zhao said so, so what else could she do.

Fortunately, the new house is almost completed, so the family will not be left without a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

After arriving at her new home, Yun Xiaoshuang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she brought back the toilet and other items last time, and the two bathrooms were also installed.

She went in and washed her hands without mentioning the fact that the house was burned down, so Zhao Hong had no worries anymore.

"Mom, you are usually the most cautious in everything you do. How could you accidentally set the house on fire?" Zhao Hong couldn't believe it no matter what, "Did you forget something?"

"No, it was indeed my fault. When I was boiling water, I added firewood and went to wash clothes. Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard your father calling me. Then I pushed Mo Cheng out, because there were valuable things at home.

Sausages, take those out first.

Then when I went to put out the fire, the fire was obviously not very big, but for some reason it got stronger and stronger, and finally the fire was out of control."

As Aunt Zhao spoke, she slapped herself twice: "It's all my fault. I should have watched the fire carefully. I shouldn't have done the laundry just to be lazy!"

Yun Xiaoshuang frowned, the fire getting bigger and bigger?

How is that possible?

It was said that the fire was put out in time and the fire was not big. How could water be poured on it and it still had no effect?

"Second Aunt, have you seen anyone come to our house?" Yun Xiaoshuang finally spoke and asked with a frown.

Second Aunt Zhao shook her head: "Definitely not. I washed my clothes at the door. How could someone come in and I didn't see it?"

"What if we go around the back door?" Yun Xiaoshuang asked. There was a small yard behind their house. To facilitate access, there was a door connected there, which happened to allow access to the kitchen.

"By the way, mother, isn't there a small wooden door under our stove? You usually cover it when burning a fire. If it's covered, there won't be sparks flying out. Are you sure it's covered this time?"

Zhao Hong had a flash of inspiration and asked.

Aunt Zhao was lost in thought, and suddenly thought of a question: "Yes, I usually cover it, and it usually doesn't happen like this. Could it be that the wooden board has been dried for a long time, and some fire has escaped, and it has

Was it burned together?"

Yun Xiaoshuang frowned: "Could someone set the fire?"

"Impossible!" Second Aunt Zhao waved her hands repeatedly: "This house is our life. We are all from poor families. How could we do such a black-hearted thing?"

Also, even if someone sets a fire, all the evidence will definitely be burned. Yun Xiaoshuang waved her hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Fortunately, we have a house here now, so we can live in it and keep out the rain."

"It's just that the furniture hasn't been prepared yet. I'll ask people to hurry up tomorrow. Then we'd better move to the inn for a few days. When the construction is almost completed, we can come back. How about it?"

"What to do with these things?"

Zhao Hong frowned.

"Otherwise, let's put it in Qian's place. She has a pretty good relationship with our family and has received favors from us. She made a lot of money with us last time." Second Aunt Zhao hesitated after saying this.

, "Qian is a nice person, it should be okay to stay at her house for a few days, right?"

He said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and Qian came with a bamboo basket in his hand.

Passing the food in the basket to them, she asked with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Zhao, second sister, your house is burned down now, why don't you stay at our house for a few days until the house is almost full?"

Would you like to come back again?"

Originally, Second Aunt Zhao was going to say that she would store the things at her house. Since she said so, she naturally would not object, so she nodded with gratitude on her face: "Sister-in-law Qian, thank you very much."

Qian lowered her head shyly: "Neighbors, what are you thanking me for? Besides, you have helped me and our family a lot before. It's not a coincidence that you can help me this time. Don't be polite to me."
