“Dad! Dad…”
"What should I do? Mom!!"
…
When Lin Aiguo saw his father Lin Jianguo collapse from anger, he also let out a heart-wrenching cry.
"I...how should I know? It's over! Our family is finished!"
Lin Jianguo's wife was also completely desperate and lost her backbone. The kerosene lamp in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Just a rub!
After the kerosene lamp shattered, kerosene spilled all over the ground and the fire immediately spread into one piece.
Squeak! Squeak...
The mice that were originally surrounding the kang were immediately frightened and scattered.
"Fire! Mom, these rats are afraid of fire."
Lin Aiguo's eyes lit up. In such despair, he thought of a solution. "Quick! Find all the kerosene we have at home. We... we can burn a road and escape!"
"Kerosene, yes, yes, yes... We have plenty of kerosene at home! It's in that tank over there..."
Lin Jianguo’s wife immediately wiped away her tears and said.
"Okay! Mom, I'll go over and pour kerosene on those damned beasts and burn them to death..."
Lin Aiguo gritted his teeth. As the eldest son in the family, now that his father has fallen ill, he feels that he should shoulder everything.
Even though there were so many rats crawling around on the way to the kerosene tank, Lin Aiguo still overcame the fear in his heart.
He jumped suddenly, and with the cover of a little firelight, ran quickly to the vicinity of the kerosene tank.
Although during this process, three or four mice bit his legs.
But Lin Aiguo still endured the severe pain, opened the kerosene tank, and then picked up the ladle.
"Go to hell, you beast!"
"Burn it up...Burn it up! Burn it all up..."
…
As kerosene was poured out ladle by ladle, the fire immediately spread throughout the house.
The mice that were still scrambling for food were horrified to find that they were surrounded by flames.
Squeak...
The rats panicked and began to flee in all directions.
However, Lin Aiguo did not give them any chance to escape. He had already poured a large circle of kerosene, and the fire broke out rapidly within a few minutes.
"Patriotic! My son, hurry... let's escape quickly..."
"Brother! Where are you?"
…
Hearing the voices of his mother and younger brothers and sisters, Lin Aiguo also followed the sound.
But it turned out that my mother and my younger brothers and sisters all ran out of the door on their own, leaving my father and grandparents behind.
"Mom! Dad and grandpa are still in there!"
Lin Aiguo, who had already run to the gate of the yard, looked at his mother in disbelief, and then fiercely stared at his younger brother Lin Aidang and younger sister Lin Aihua, and asked, "How could you two run away by yourselves and leave your father and grandparents behind?"
"Brother! How can I care? I am thankful that I can escape by myself."
My younger brother Lin Aidang said this as a matter of course.
Sister Lin Aihua also nodded and said, "I want to save dad and grandpa, but I can't hold them. Besides, they are already in that state, so they can just die. They won't be a burden to us."
Bang!
Lin Aiguo immediately slapped his little sister: "Hua'er! How can you say that? You are the one that Dad loves the most at home!"
"You hit me! Brother, is there anything wrong with what I said?
Dad has lost his legs anyway, so he can’t be the team leader in the future.
Staying at home would waste food. It would be better for him to die, which would also reduce the burden on our family."
Covering her face, Lin Aihua said very aggrievedly.
"You...you are all beasts!!!"
Lin Aiguo pointed at the mother and her two children angrily, then ran back into the burning house angrily.
"Dad! Dad! Grandpa... Grandpa... Grandma..."
The room was already filled with flames and black smoke.
When Lin Aiguo reached the edge of the kang, he found that his grandparents had already died.
His tears flowed down in an instant, and then he tried hard to wake his father Lin Jianguo up.
"Dad! Dad...are you okay?"
Feeling that his father still had a pulse, Lin Aiguo felt a little comforted.
"Love...patriotism. Are we...are we dead?"
Lin Jianguo woke up in a daze, and when he saw the fire and black smoke, he thought he had arrived in the underworld!
"Dad! Hold on, I'll get you out right now..."
Lin Aiguo suddenly picked up Lin Jianguo and ran outside.
However……
Just as Lin Aiguo was about to run out of the house carrying his father, the flames collapsed the roof beams and suddenly pressed down on him.
puff!
The beam hit Lin Aiguo's back directly, causing him to fall down.
"patriotic!"
Lin Jianguo fell heavily to the ground, and only then did he regain consciousness.
Looking at his beloved eldest son being crushed under the beam of the house, he felt extremely heartbroken and screamed wildly.
"Dad! I...I can't do it anymore..."
Lin Aiguo felt as if his internal organs had been crushed. He looked at his father whom he had thrown out of the house, and felt a little comforted.
"No! Hold on. Patriotism, you can't die!
Dad can't live without you! You are the eldest son in our family!
Patriotism! You...you shouldn't have come to save Dad!
Dad is already a useless man, how can...how can I risk your life!"
At this moment, Lin Jianguo really regretted it.
Why can’t we listen to Lin Huowang’s advice and do a good job of preventing rat infestations?
