"I heard that there was a fire in the house of Dr. Bai Shen who lives in the mountains on the outskirts of Qiyun Town. The fire burned all night, but no one ran out. He is probably dead."
The news spread quickly, and in just one night, it spread throughout the nearby towns.
People kept hearing the news and rushing to Bai's house.
At this moment, the gate of the Bai family was already full of people of all kinds kneeling. There were about two to three hundred people in total, but no one dared to step into the gate of the Bai family.
Most of them are patients cured by the Bai family.
The river bank across the bridge was also full of people, most of them were residents of Qiyun Town, some were residents of the towns next door, and some were traveling merchants, all of whom had come here specially.
But they didn't expect that the Bai family was already in ruins, and they all looked sad and sad.
Doctor Bai is a good person, but it's a pity...
Most of the people kneeling in front had their faces covered with fire ashes, and several of them were turned into black men. Their eyes were filled with blankness, and hot tears rolled down their faces. Some of the fire ashes on their cheeks were taken away, and their faces suddenly turned white.
It was dark and formed obvious ravines.
They were all the first people who rushed to put out the fire when they heard the news about the fire in Bai's house last night. They saw the barrels rolling to the ground in front of them, and the road to the river was flattened by them.
But with so many of them, they couldn't save a single Bai family member.
The fire had just started last night when farmers returning home from work in the fields noticed the billowing smoke. At first they thought it was a mountain fire. They quickly informed Li Zheng and called on the villagers to put out the fire. They also sent people to report to the government to send people to put out the fire.
Autumn has just passed, and the mountains are very dry. Sometimes a lightning strike will cause a mountain fire. The fire will get bigger and bigger in a short time, like a prairie fire. They have experienced this more than once.
Therefore, the villagers pay special attention to the movements in the mountains.
After everyone rushed there in a hurry, they discovered that the Bai family's house was on fire. The fire was raging into the sky and black smoke was billowing. Without any hesitation, they fetched water from the ditch in front of the Bai family's house to put out the fire.
Soon the officers and soldiers arrived and began to instruct the villagers to fetch water and put out fires in an orderly manner. The division of labor was very clear.
But the fire was very strange. As buckets of water were poured on the front door of the Bai family, the fire seemed to be exposed to kerosene, burning bigger and faster.
This fire is evil.
Could it be heavenly fire?
Everyone was shocked, and the hands holding the bucket kept shaking.
I don't know if I was scared or angry.
The officers and soldiers had no choice but to drive away the shocked villagers to the other side of the bridge. In this way, the group stood all night, watching helplessly as the fire ate up the Bai family's food bit by bit.
The painted red door burned and fell, and the beautifully decorated house collapsed and turned into ruins.
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.
God is so blind.
When the front door of the Bai family fell to the ground, a man finally couldn't help but cry out in pain, squatted down with his head in his hands and started to cry.
No one knew how powerless he was at this moment. Although the fire in the Bai family could be saved at first, he could not extinguish the evil fire.
The Bai family shouldn't have ended like this.
As a cry came out, everyone couldn't help crying anymore. Many of them pointed to the sky and cursed, why didn't they accept those evil people who had committed such heinous crimes? Instead, they sent heavenly fire down on the Bai family and never did it.
personnel.
On the other side of the river, there were several six or seven-year-old children explaining to their adults in a low voice that the fire in Bai's house ignited in an instant. At the beginning, it was still a blue flame, which was very beautiful.
When several adults heard this, they quickly covered their children's mouths, slapped their hands on their buttocks and gave them a good beating. The children were so frightened by the beatings that they didn't dare to speak after burping and crying.
The pitiful cries of several children did not seem abrupt among the burst of sobs. Instead, they were so sad and sad that the merchants couldn't help but wipe their eyes, and their lapels were wet with tears.
Someone who was doing something bad around heard it and spread the word quickly. Later, it turned into the Bai family and provoked the wrath of heaven. God specially sent down fire from the sky and burned the Bai family completely.
The White Mansion is a cursed place and should not be set foot in. Naturally, the townspeople of several small towns that had received favors from the Bai family did not believe it, but for the sake of the family, they did not dare to easily set foot in the ruined White Mansion.
In the end, several parents had passed away, and the childless old widower stood up against all the opinions, entered the White House, and hurriedly took out the bodies of the Bai family couple and everyone in the main courtyard.
Naturally, several people could see where an independent courtyard stood in the white house, but no one dared to take a second look, let alone mention or step into it.
They all knew that it was the yard of the young master of the Bai family, and that it was an even more evil existence.
It is very possible that the fire in the Bai family was the cause of the disaster.
Although they knew it in their hearts, no one said it clearly, and they all made a tacit agreement to search for corpses as much as possible, because in their eyes, the Bai family was just the Bai family that was kind to them.
They couldn't let everyone in the Bai family feel heartbroken even after they died, and they couldn't leave in peace.
Because the corpses had been burned beyond recognition, everyone decided to bury everyone in the Bai family generously, even though Saburo Bai was among them.
Everyone is dead, why should they care about an eight-year-old child?
Everyone immediately pulled up an oilcloth in front of the ruins of the Bai family, transported dozens of coffins from the town, and built a simple mourning hall.
The people should voluntarily contribute money to allow the Bai family to be buried in peace, and those who have no money will provide manpower.
Wealthy members from several nearby towns heard the news and donated a large sum of money. The most upright and respected old dean of Qiyun Town Academy took the lead in hosting the event.
After the county magistrate learned that the Bai family had been wiped out because of the wrath of heaven, he was afraid that the news would affect his political performance, so he ordered that the Bai family's funeral should not be held in a big way, and sent officers and soldiers to pull the bodies of all the Bai family members for mass burial.
The post was buried.
After hearing the news, the common people rushed over immediately and surrounded the White House, preventing the officers and soldiers from getting closer.
There were at least three to four hundred people here. The officers and soldiers did not dare to act rashly, let alone beat people. These people also included their brothers and parents. They were pointed at and scolded by the familiar villagers, causing a scene.
People were shameless and looked at them with disgust.
They looked at each other with sadness in their hearts. They also knew that they had offended the public, but they were just following orders. Who had provoked whom?
So the officers and soldiers also showed up, stood there symbolically, and then sent people back to the county government to report truthfully.
In this way, the common people and the officers and soldiers were in a stalemate for three days. The spirit here was not allowed to come out, and the spirit from the other side was not allowed to be taken away and buried in a mass grave.
The corpses of the Bai family remained in the mourning hall for three days, because the corpses had been burnt and did not smell rotten. However, the people were afraid of disturbing the heroic souls of Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai and delaying their reincarnation, so they became anxious and went to the funeral with the officers and soldiers.
They started to make a fuss.
Several officers and soldiers were beaten till their noses were bruised and swollen in front of a few reckless men. They were so angry that they stripped off their "official skin" on the spot. After cursing the county boss for being "not a good man", they shouted that they would give it to everyone in the Bai family.
spirit.
Suddenly, a total of thirty coffins were carried up and down the Bai family, and each one was carried up the mountain by the villagers, followed by a sea of people, and the cries were loud.
The Bai family has lived in Qiyun Town for generations. It is their duty to pass on medical skills and treat diseases and save people. Especially in the generation of the Bai Ji family, the medical skills have been rejuvenated. They can hang pots to save the world, and countless people have benefited from him.
It's a pity that good people are not rewarded. By his generation, the Bai family has become extinct. This chapter has been completed!
