Everyone was in their own rooms, and no one noticed until the fire was getting bigger and the smoke was obvious. The man's eager cry and the woman's scream sounded at the same time, and the Chu family suddenly became noisy.
It was the first time that Chu Xin went outside, and Chu Lan also hid far away with a shocked face. Others quickly poured water on the fire with basins and buckets, and even the neighbors nearby were alarmed to help.
"Chu Xiang! Chu Xiang? Chu Xiang—" Li Yuezhen yelled in panic, and became even more anxious when she couldn't get a response, "Chu Xiang is still inside, her dad, what should I do?!"
Chu Weiguo said irritably: "Stop talking nonsense, put out the fire, there is no other way!"
Chu Xiang's small house used to be used for storing sundries, and there was only one window that was so small that people could not climb in at all, they could only enter through the door. The fire is at the door, what else can I do but put it out
When the neighbors heard that there were still people inside, they all panicked. They all rolled up their sleeves and shouted for help. There are more people and more strength. After ten minutes, all the ignited furniture such as wooden doors, door curtains, tables, stools, and cabinets were extinguished. Chu Weiguo rushed into the room and shook Chu Xiang vigorously, "Chu Xiang! Wake up? Chu Xiang?"
He picked up Chu Xiang and ran to the yard. The captain and many villagers rushed over after hearing the news, and anxiously asked how Chu Xiang was doing. Li Yuezhen stepped forward to pinch Chu Xiang's people, tried her breath, and cried, "Why, why does it seem like you're out of breath? Captain..."
"Hurry up... Hurry up and send it to the doctor! Who is that, you! You go and tell the doctor first and tell him to come this way and join us." The team leader casually pointed to a young man, and then pointed to the old man outside the courtyard, " Lao Zhao, use your cart to push it up, call two boys to deliver it, hurry up, hurry up, save people!"
Chu Xiang held his breath so as not to inhale the thick smoke, and he was fine, so he was put on a cart and sent to the sanitation office shared by several brigades. The doctor met them halfway, checked Chu Xiang briefly, felt Chu Xiang's breath, frowned and followed them back to the health department, and said worriedly: "This is not good, my doctor at this level No, I have to be sent to the hospital. Is her family with me? Hurry up and get the money, I will give first aid first, and send it to the county hospital right away, or it will be gone if it is too late."
Chu Weiguo and Li Yuezhen both ran along, a little dumbfounded when they heard this, how much would it cost to send them to the county hospital
But Chu Xiang was in a coma and was about to die, so they had no choice but to leave Li Yuezhen behind, and Chu Weiguo bit the bullet and ran home to ask Grandma Chu for money.
The health department is not far from the brigade, and everyone has nothing to do at the moment, there are more than 30 people watching, and they are all blocking the door of the health department to look in.
Chu Xiang thought about the timing, and woke up with a cough just a few minutes after the doctor gave her first aid. Li Yuezhen hurriedly said in surprise: "Chu Xiang, are you awake? Then, is the doctor all right? Is she all right?"
The doctor frowned and said, "Chu Xiang, can you hear me? Are you awake? Is there any discomfort?"
Chu Xiang looked at him blankly, "I... dizzy..."
I don't know who shouted, "Chu Xiang, you were almost burned to death, why did you catch fire?"
Chu Xiang moved his eyes and coughed weakly, "Chu Lan said... let me marry Yin Xu for her, and the whole family agreed. I, I said I want to go to university, I can pass the exam, ahem, and then , and then I got so excited, dizzy, passed out, I don't know..."
Everyone paid attention to her, and it was very quiet, so even if her voice was very small, everyone could hear it clearly. These few sentences contain a lot of information, and everyone immediately started discussing after being shocked.
What happened to Chu Lan? Chu Lan and Yin Xu agreed? So this is because Yin Xu's leg is broken and he quit? If you don't do it, don't do it, why do you let Chu Xiang marry instead? When did you still engage in the practice of substitute marriage? The whole Chu family actually agreed
And this fire... Why does it look like Chu Lan set it off
This is to see that Chu Xiang insisted on going to college and refused to marry her, so he wanted to burn her to death? Chu Lan is so cruel?
Most of these people in the village are simple and harmless, but at the same time they don't think too much about things, and it is easy to believe what others say. Besides, in the chaos of the past few years, there were people who really did something. In their eyes, it was not surprising that they did anything. It was not surprising that Chu Lan set fire to Chu Xiang to death. They only thought that Chu Lan was too cruel.
Li Yuezhen was taken aback. It was too late when she wanted to stop Chu Xiang. She stepped forward and pressed Chu Xiang's shoulder, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who asked you to marry?"
"Don't... I'm so dizzy..." Chu Xiang was shaken by Li Yuezhen's movements, and immediately showed a painful expression, and "fainted".
The doctor immediately drove Li Yuezhen to check on Chu Xiang, and scolded angrily: "What are you doing? Chu Xiang is almost dead, why are you touching her?! Hurry up and send her to the county hospital, hurry up."
Li Yuezhen's face turned pale. If Chu Xiang was killed by her touch, she would be cast aside for the rest of her life. She couldn't think about the money this time, so she hurriedly helped lift Chu Xiang onto the cart, and let the two young men push him to the county quickly.
At such a anxious moment, she certainly didn't think of explaining to everyone, so half an hour later, everyone in the entire brigade, even the children, knew that Chu Lan was going to burn Chu Xiang to death, and that the Chu family wanted Chu Xiang to marry Chu Lan. Yin Xu. The key is that when someone really went to the Chu family and the Yin family to inquire, the Chu family frantically denied it like a panic, but Yang Yuelan's reaction from the Yin family made everyone believe this statement.
Yang Yuelan was also at a loss. Her first reaction was to get angry when she heard this statement, and she blurted out: "The old lady of the Chu family is too much. This marriage has not yet been settled, and I have not agreed to change people. How can she be so aggressive?" Where is Xiang?"
Yang Yuelan could say whatever she wanted, after all, they had just finished talking about it during the day, so she naturally thought that the Chu family had treated Chu Xiang harshly and bullied others. As a result, this sentence directly proved Chu Xiang, and everyone in the brigade believed Chu Xiang's words.
The captain went to the county hospital. No one in the brigade was in charge of questioning the Chu family, but the Chu family's courtyard was full of people, all talking about this matter, and there were a few women who caught Chu Lan. Let go, tie her up with a rope.
"When the captain comes back to deal with it, we can't let her run away."
"Yes, the little girl's family's heart is too poisonous, even her younger sister was hurt. I thought she was a good girl before, so I was really blind."
Chu Lan was terrified, and kept struggling with a pale face, "Let go of me! What are you doing? When did I hurt Chu Xiang? It has nothing to do with me! Grandma, Mom, let me go quickly, why should they arrest me ah!"
"Fart! What Chu Xiang said when she woke up can be false? She was so weak, and you were the only one there at the time. You didn't set the fire, could it be she did it herself?"
"Look at the burning of your house. If Chu Xiang didn't come out, everyone would have been burned. She doesn't know what's going on now. Your family is really abusing children. Chu Xiang is awake and can push people unconscious In the past, now it’s all right, I don’t know if I can save my life.”
"Old Chu's family is patriarchal. By the way, what about his Chu Xin? The young man is sixteen years old, and his sister is dying and doesn't show his face. It's all helped by other young men. What a fucking inhumane person! "
The voices of Grandma Chu and Chu Lan's mother were completely drowned out by these people's loud voices, and no one could hear them talking. Chu Lan's mother was already crying, and she couldn't save Chu Lan because she couldn't squeeze through. She dragged Chu Lan's father, but Chu Lan's father had already believed what everyone said, and it was too late to be ashamed. How could he help Chu Lan
Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu had old arms and legs, they couldn't argue with each other, they couldn't squeeze each other, their faces were full of anxiety, and at the same time, they both suspected Chu Lan. After all, Chu Lan had been making a fuss before, refusing to marry to Yin's family, and even said that Chu Xiang was disfigured and couldn't pass the university entrance exam and asked her to marry instead.
If Chu Xiang insisted on taking college entrance exams but not marrying, would Chu Lan really have played hard? They didn't think that Chu Lan wanted to burn Chu Xiang to death. After all, with so many people in a yard, they would definitely be able to spot the fire and put out the fire in time so that no one would be burned to death. They felt that Chu Lan must be trying to scare Chu Xiang, or make Chu Xiang choked to continue bedridden to recuperate from his illness. When the time comes, the college entrance examination will be delayed, so naturally he can only marry.
Even so, the heart is vicious enough. Except for Chu Lan's mother who was feeling sorry for Chu Lan, everyone else in the Chu family couldn't help feeling angry when they saw Chu Lan, and at the same time felt a chill down their backs. Such a ruthless person, will he also set them on fire one day? Then it may not be possible for someone to put out the fire in time!
Gradually, almost everyone from the entire brigade gathered, even the educated youths from the educated youth spot came.
Seeing Song Yang, Chu Lan wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, but she immediately reacted, raised her face and cried aggrievedly: "You wronged me, who of you saw it? How can you say that about me? I'm going to Chuxiang today In the room, she was given exercises and asked her if she wanted to review. My family and Yin’s family are not engaged at all, so why would I say this to her? Chu Xiang laughed at me for not being able to pass the college entrance examination, saying that she knew all the questions I took, and she wanted to sleep Tell me not to disturb her, and I will go back to the house. My mother called me, and I knew it was on fire, so why did I do it?"
Song Yang's frowning brows became even tighter when he heard those questions about Chu Xiang's metropolis, and an uncomfortable sense of shame swept over his body. It's as if the exercises he copied carefully were all jokes in Chu Xiang's eyes. He wanted to give Chu Xiang a tutoring lesson, but Chu Xiang didn't like it at all.
Chu Lan glanced at Song Yang's expression, and continued to cry: "It's really not me, why do you believe that Chu Xiang doesn't believe me? The sentence must be based on evidence, right? Chu Xiang said she fainted? Then I said it was her You wronged me by setting the fire on purpose, or at worst, it might be someone who jumped into the yard and lit the fire."
When everyone heard the words, they accused her one after another. Her words listed everyone in the village as suspects. Of course they were not happy.
Chu Lan had an idea, and immediately said: "I know! The fire may have been started by herself. Think about it, Chu Xiang is very unlucky. She said that no one in the village has slipped on that hillside. How come Chu Xiang Just fell down and scratched her face? She still had a high fever during the exam, and she was so dazed that she couldn't even do the questions, she was just unlucky."
Chu Lan's mother hurriedly shouted: "That's right, our whole family knows that Chu Lan is very lucky, and Chu Xiang is a broom star!"
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense!" Grandma Chu gave her a hard push. Although the country's crackdown on feudal superstition is not as strict as it was a few years ago, it can't be said so blatantly. But she had already thought about it in her heart, Chu Xiang was really unlucky, maybe she was really a broom star.
Chu Lan's mother was in a hurry to clean up the sewage for her daughter, how could she listen to Grandma Chu? She shouted a lot of unlucky things about Chu Xiang, true and false, and some of the unlucky things about Chu Lan in the past were all put on Chu Xiang by her. Outsiders can't remember clearly, and she said that she has a vague impression of things, and she really feels that Chu Xiang has been very unlucky since he was a child.
The villagers are still very superstitious about these things. I heard from Chu Lan's mother that Chu Lan can get rabbits when digging wild vegetables, and often pick up a nest of wild eggs. They also understand why the Chu family has meat to eat from time to time. I am more convinced of this statement.
Chu Xiang said at the time that he passed out and didn't know it was on fire, and he didn't seem to have seen Chu Lan set the fire with his own eyes. What if Chu Xiang is unlucky and the house is built by himself
Although no matter how I think about it, I can't figure out how the door curtain will be closed, but it is unbelievable that it has something to do with the word "broom star". This kind of thing is very mysterious, and each of them can say several mysterious and illogical things, so they are naturally willing to believe it.
Everyone said again and again, this time no one is holding on to Chu Lan, and they all say that Chu Lan's arson and Chu Xiang's bad luck are both possible. Chu Lan's mother took the opportunity to let Chu Lan go, and ran back to the room with her protection, but no one stopped her. Anyway, they were blocking the door, and there were people outside Chu's courtyard, so Chu Lan couldn't run anywhere.
Those educated youths were determined not to be superstitious, and they even said a few words to tell everyone to be more rational, but the villagers ignored them. Song Yang himself couldn't stay here, so he followed back full of worries. On the one hand, he was worried about what was going on with Chu Xiang, and on the other hand, he was also a little worried about Chu Lan.
He felt that Chu Lan was a really nice person. He wholeheartedly helped Chu Xiang with his revision, listened carefully to his lectures, and repaid his kindness by giving him delicious food from time to time so that he would not suffer any disadvantages. Such a good girl would definitely not set fire to her, but I just don't know how the captain will judge her in the end.
It was already dark, and probably only the Chu family was brightly lit in the whole brigade. Everyone was waiting for the brigade captain to come back, and they all wanted to know if Chu Xiang was saved.
Yang Yuelan stood outside and listened for a while, then walked home quickly, patted her heart and said to Yin Xu: "This is too scary, the house is burned to the ground, it can't be used at all, I have to take off the heavy building, and I can't use it anymore. I don't know if Chu Xiang was burned."
Yin Xu never wanted to get involved with the Chu family, he looked down on the character of the Chu family. But what happened this time had something to do with their Yin family. Anyway, Chu Xiang had the accident because he was forced to marry him, so he naturally had to ask a few questions.
Yang Yuelan told him everything she had heard, and said: "Chu Xiang must not be really unlucky, right? I saw Chu Lan carry a live rabbit home with my own eyes. She is really lucky. If you say that, if she If you set fire, you shouldn’t be caught so quickly.”
Yin Xu shook his head, "Mom, good or bad luck is nonsense, don't believe it. I even picked up food stamps, such a good thing once or twice is not considered a blessing. We can't guess this matter, wait and find out Let me know how Chu Xiang is doing, if she is fine, send her some eggs later."
Yang Yuelan responded, and sighed: "I hope she's okay. She's a good girl. If you want to say that she's unlucky, I think it's only in the past six months. I haven't heard of her unlucky before. By the way, Tomorrow Skinny Monkey My son is going to take you to the county hospital to see your leg, so we just went to see her. She should be fine if she wakes up, right?"
"En." Yin Xu comforted Yang Yuelan a few words, and then thought about the Chu family's affairs, always feeling that something was not right.
Chu Lan approached him a few times before, wanting to date him. Although he ignored him, he still knew Chu Lan a little bit. Chu Lan didn't have the courage to do such a thing as setting fire. But if Chu Lan hadn't set fire to it, how would the fire in Chu Xiang's house start? Could it be that Chu Xiang let it go by himself
Yin Xu was a top soldier when he was a soldier abroad, he had done many missions and learned a lot. His thinking is very meticulous, and he sees problems completely differently from those in the village. He thought that what Chu Xiang said when he woke up almost perfectly guided the villagers' thoughts, resulting in such a result. This seems to make the most sense only if Chu Xiang set the fire by himself, but what reason does Chu Xiang have to do so
Yin Xu touched his leg and shook his head mockingly. He hasn't taken care of his own affairs yet, so how can he care about other people's affairs? It is more important to think about how to comfort the mother and sister. If the doctor says that the cure is impossible, the two of them will cry to death, and they will have a headache just thinking about it.
