Chapter 28 The Great Fire
The next day, although I didn’t hear the rooster crowing, my body’s instinct came to an end and I woke up naturally.
Zhang Jiuyan sniffed on the bed for a while, and remembered the problems he thought about yesterday.
Zhang Jiuyan said to himself: "The villagers have the benefits of the villagers, and outsiders have the benefits of the outsiders, but they also have their own disadvantages. Alas, they all have their own advantages and disadvantages."
In the end, Zhang Jiuyan was too lazy to think about it anymore, so he would better talk about it then.
After getting up and taking a shower, Zhang Jiuyan found the shopkeeper and settled the money for the house last night.
Then Zhang Jiuyan did not continue to pull a rickshaw in the county town, and then went out of the city gate and went home.
Zhang Jiuyan knew that he had not returned for a whole night without saying hello. At this time, his parents must be very anxious.
These days, you can't compare with future generations. You can do whatever you want to be crazy outside.
But these days, maybe I haven’t returned overnight, that means I haven’t returned for the rest of my life. Who can’t wait?
Sure enough, Zhang Jiuyan walked halfway and met his parents and came over.
"Nine Words."
When Zhang Jiuyan saw Zhang Jiuyan in front of him, she shouted and tears came down.
"mother."
As soon as the mother and son ran closer, Zhang Jiuyan's mother hugged Zhang Jiuyan tightly, crying with tears, deeply touching.
Zhang Jiuyan couldn't help crying.
It is true that mother and son are connected to each other.
Zhang Jiuyan had a premonition that his parents would be so anxious that they would go crazy, and it was true.
Zhang Jiuyan's father was so angry that he scolded Zhang Jiuyan: "Where did you die? You don't even go back home. Do you know how anxious your mother and I are?"
This time Zhang Jiuyan did not talk back. Who told me to make them worry? It was wrong for me?
"Dad, mom, don't worry. Yesterday I sent a guest and delayed the time to leave the city. This was the one day I lived in the county town."
Zhang Jiuyan walked around the place, "Look, aren't I okay?"
Zhang Jiuyan's mother pulled him, "Let's go home with my mother, go home, we won't take this rickshaw."
Zhang Jiuyan also knew that her mother was really worried and became a child's character. She said, "Okay, okay," and went home with her parents.
I was so tired these two days, so it would be nice to have a rest.
On the way, Zhang Jiuyan and his family of three met several refugees from time to time, all of them heading towards the county town.
Zhang Jiuyan knew that the reason they went to the county town was that they could enter the county town to beg.
After all, there are many people in the county, so it is relatively richer than in the countryside, so you can easily beg for some food.
Those refugees saw Zhang Jiuyan's family instinctively, and they came up to beg and stubbornly stubbornly.
Zhang Jiuyan's father was very angry and had long been accustomed to this. He held a stick in his hand and scolded: "Get out of here, are you looking for a fight?"
Zhang Jiuyan's father's eyes were about to pop out, which was really scary.
I have to say that when gamblers get angry, they are more powerful than ordinary people, and those refugees are so scared that they dare not bother them anymore.
Zhang Jiuyan watched all this coldly, and his mood became heavier and heavier.
Through refugees, Zhang Jiuyan saw that the situation that appeared was becoming increasingly unoptimistic.
It is August 14th, the seventh year of the Apocalypse. Calculate the time, Emperor Apocalypse should be dead now, but the ancients' news was slow and there were many levels, so how could there be news so quickly?
Moreover, major events like the death of the emperor are related to the country and the country. Only when the overall situation of the government is stable will the news be released to the public.
So it is normal that there is no news at this time.
But Zhang Jiuyan knew that in fact, he had officially entered the Chongzhen period.
"In the year of Chongzhen."
What these three words mean naturally needless to say.
In a heavy mood, Zhang Jiuyan returned home.
For a moment, Zhang Jiuyan was thinking about refugees in his mind, and the world was in chaos and messy things made Zhang Jiuyan absent-minded.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Jiuyan's mother thought to herself that her son was too tired, but the situation at home was like this. Not only could she not help her son, but she had to rely on him to support her.
As he thought about it, Zhang Jiuyan's mother was also angry when she saw Zhang Jiuyan's father, and complained to him for a rare complaint and complained, saying that he shouldn't bet on money and implicated the family.
Zhang Jiuyan's father was stunned at first, and then scolded her loudly, but the two started arguing loudly.
"Dad, mom, stop arguing, can you calm me down?"
Poor and humble couples are sad, and there are always endless quarrels at home.
Seeing Zhang Jiuyan like this, Zhang Jiuyan stopped quarreling, but was just wiping her tears alone.
Zhang Jiuyan's father went out and didn't know where he went.
It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening. It was dark and late at night. Zhang Jiuyan and his family were all asleep.
Similarly, Zhangjia Village is also quiet. Every family is closed and the house is closed. After a day of hard work, they are all sleeping.
At this moment, suddenly, a figure was moving in the darkness, and he was walking in the darkness with the moonlight that was no longer very bright.
Looking closely with the moonlight, the figure is Zhang Tianshou.
Slowly, Zhang Tianshou came to the door of a family in the dark, which turned out to be Zhang Jiuyan's home.
Zhang Tianshou quietly climbed over the wall, climbed over the fence wall at Zhang Jiuyan's house, and entered Zhang Jiuyan's house.
Although Zhang Jiuyan's home is a thatched house, most families in rural areas will come out around a yard in front of their homes.
This is mainly for the convenience of life.
The yard of Zhang Jiuyan's house is surrounded by a fence wall, half a person tall, and you can go in as soon as you turn over.
Zhang Tianshou had a clear goal this time, so he went straight to the rickshaw placed in the yard.
When he arrived in front of the rickshaw, Zhang Tianshou touched it and looked at it. He thought to himself that the rickshaw was indeed a good thing, no wonder that boy Zhang Jiuyan could make money from this.
After sighing, Zhang Tianshou took out a small bottle of turmeric oil from his waist and poured it on the rickshaw. Finally, he burned the rickshaw with a fire note.
This rickshaw was made of wood, but now it has been splashed with tinder oil. It would be a big deal when it encounters a fire, and it will burn suddenly.
Seeing that the matter was done, Zhang Tianshou was afraid of being seen, so he did not dare to stay for a long time. He quickly fled and disappeared into the darkness.
I don’t know how long it took to burn, but in the end, Zhang Jiuyan smelled a smoke. When he opened his eyes, he saw a raging fire outside, and Zhang Jiuyan was shocked.
"Dad, mom, it's on fire, run away."
Zhang Jiuyan rushed out of his room and kept slapping his parents' door.
Soon they woke up from their dreams, and their faces turned pale when they heard that they were on fire.
Zhang Jiuyan's father shouted, "It's amazing, come and put out the fire,"
"Come on, put out the fire."
Zhang Jiuyan pulled his parents out of the yard. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Jiuyan was busy picking up water to put out the fire, while his parents shouted loudly, hoping that the villagers would help put out the fire.
