What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

Chapter 177 The Deaf Old Lady Sacrifices to Heaven

At this time, Xu Damao's home.

Lou Xiao'e has been calm for so long that her appetite has returned.

Thinking that Yan Xiaoyao might come over for a midnight snack tonight, she took out all the clothes from the bottom of the dowry box and dressed up carefully, ready to give him a surprise.

At this moment, I was sitting in the room waiting for Yan Xiaoyao with great anticipation, but suddenly I smelled a burnt odor.

She thought that the wiring was old and worried that there might be a fire, so she quickly checked everywhere in the house. However, after Lou Xiao'e carefully searched the house, she found nothing wrong.

At this moment, she was walking out of the kitchen with a puzzled look on her face. She glanced out the window casually, planning to wait for Yan Xiaoyao to come and ask him to help look for it again.

Suddenly, she found that the backyard, which should have been dark, was illuminated by a fire.

Suddenly, he was startled and ran out quickly.

When I went out, I found that the house of the deaf old lady next door was already surrounded by fire, and the yard was illuminated.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly ran to Yan Xiaoyao's house, shouting loudly: "Xiaoyao, get up quickly! There is a fire in our backyard."

At this time, Yan Xiaoyao, who was hiding behind the cross-courtyard gate watching the show, immediately slapped his forehead when he saw Lou Xiaoe running out.

He cursed inwardly, "Damn... I was so happy just now that I forgot that this damn old woman lived next door to Lou Xiao'e. If Lou Xiao'e was burned to death by accident, I would have no place to cry."

Yan Xiaoyao quickly opened the door, hugged Lou Xiaoe and comforted her, "Okay, I'm here. Are you not scared?"

Lou Xiao'e said hurriedly, "I'm fine. Go to the front and call for help to put out the fire! See if the old lady can be saved."

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoyao rolled his eyes.

I thought to myself: I was the one who set the fire, I wish she would die sooner!

However, you can't say this to anyone.

Yan Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Okay, then you go to my house and sit for a while. I'll go to the front and call for help now."

Lou Xiao'e urged, "Well, then go quickly!"

After Lou Xiao'e's yelling just now, there were already a few houses in the yard with lights on.

Second Aunt's house is nearby, and she has come out by now.

Seeing Yan Xiaoyao coming out, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, how come this deaf old lady set the house on fire just after coming back! Hurry up and call for help to put out the fire!"

Yan Xiaoyao said speechlessly: "Second Aunt, I'm just about to go to the front to call for help! Please stop blocking the way and get out of the way!"

When the second aunt heard this, she said in a hurry, "I am also worried! Go and call for help. I will go and call my two boys and ask them to fetch water."

Yan Xiaoyao actually hoped that the second aunt would delay a little longer, so that the deaf old lady's fever would be cured more thoroughly.

After reaching the central courtyard, Yan Xiaoyao kicked the door of Yi Zhonghai's house twice, "bang bang", and the door was almost kicked off by him.

"Yi Zhonghai, why are you still sleeping? Hurry up and get up! The deaf old lady's house is on fire, go and put it out quickly."

He thought with a sense of evil humor: Hehe... Didn't Yi Zhonghai recognize the deaf old lady as his godmother? This time he can really kneel down and act like a filial son and grandson.

When Yan Xiaoyao thought about the scene where Yi Zhonghai would kneel on the ground like a filial son and grandson and greet his family members when Yi Zhonghai helped the deaf old lady with her funeral, his mouth was crooked with joy.

Yi Zhonghai was so worried that he didn't sleep well last night, and he finally got a good night's sleep today. However, not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by Yan Xiaoyao's two kicks.

But before he had time to lose his temper, he heard the sad news that the deaf old lady had an accident.

In an instant, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Suddenly, he started to think wildly: No way? Didn't we just finish the ritual last night? Blind Zhang had already burned Jia Dongxu to ashes, so how come the old lady is in trouble again? That can't be, there are other troubles in this yard? Didn't we clean it up tonight?

However, there was no time to think too much, the most urgent priority was to save people.

at this time.

After hearing such a loud noise, the animals in the yard came out one after another.

After Yi Zhonghai came out with his clothes on, he hurriedly asked, "Yan Xiaoyao, what did you just say? Is the old lady's house on fire?"

Yan Xiaoyao shrugged his shoulders and pointed towards the backyard: "Look, the fire is burning brightly! Do I have to stay up late at night to make fun of you?"

After such a long delay, the fire in the deaf old lady's house was getting bigger and bigger. Standing in the middle courtyard, one could clearly see the flames rising.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, hurry home and take out everything that can hold water, and go to the backyard to put out the fire."

When the animals saw how big the fire was, they panicked and hurried home to fetch buckets and basins, and brought out everything that could hold water.

You know, this courtyard is not made of concrete like those buildings in later generations, but of wood. And they are all connected together. If the fire cannot be put out in time, no one will be able to escape.

When everyone arrived at the backyard, they found that the whole house of the deaf old lady had been burned, and even part of Xu Damao's kitchen was burned. Second Aunt's house was fine, the house next to the deaf old lady's house, except for being blackened, was not on fire.

The room next to the deaf old lady's house is where Liu Guangfu and his brother sleep.

As soon as they discovered the fire, the two brothers simply put on some clothes, immediately picked up water and kept pouring water here, that's how they survived the disaster.

If this burns down, the two brothers will have no place to shelter from the wind and rain, and they will have to fetch water desperately to put out the fire!

However, at this moment, the Liu Guangfu brothers were also extremely tired. When they saw the reinforcements coming, they immediately collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath like two dead fish on the shore.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this scene, he felt like the sky was falling and hurriedly urged everyone to start putting out the fire.

However, the fire was so big that it was impossible to put it out simply by fetching water manually! Later, the joint defense team patrolling the street saw the fire and brought a large team to put it out.

After the fire was put out, the deaf old lady's house had been burned down to a bare shell. Xu Damao's house was not spared either, the kitchen had been burned down, and part of the living room was also burned down.

It was thanks to the timely arrival of the joint defense team that Xu Damao would have had to sleep on the street when he returned from the countryside.

As soon as the fire was put out, Yi Zhonghai rushed into the ruins.

I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart, hoping that the deaf old lady was not at home tonight and that she could escape danger.

It's a pity that God did not fulfill his wish.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai rushed into the ruins, he saw the burnt body of the deaf old woman and was stunned for a moment.

Although Yi Zhonghai enjoys such a glorious life in the yard, in fact, the deaf old lady has made a lot of contributions to this.

Because both of them had no descendants, they were also planning to find someone to take care of them in their old age. As early as a few years ago, they had already colluded with each other.

After the two of them discussed it, the deaf old lady helped Yi Zhonghai come up with a crooked plan. She asked him to brainwash the people in the yard and cultivate the concept of respecting the elderly and loving the young. Then she selected Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu to take care of him in his old age.

In addition, due to the old age of the deaf old lady, everyone gave her some face. After several years of development, the results are beginning to show.

But what Yi Zhonghai never expected was that this period of time was like a jinx possessing him. First, he became disabled due to a work-related injury, and now the deaf old lady was burned to death in the fire.

He had long been accustomed to it, and no matter what happened, he would consult the deaf old lady.

But now the deaf old lady is suddenly left with nothing. If she encounters any problems in the future, she will have no one to discuss it with.
