"Aunt, how can you say that to me! I am really doing this for everyone! Tian An would rather leave the tent empty and let the old sisters sitting outside blow in the cold wind. What if they catch a cold? What is her intention?" The aunt said in a tone that said I am doing this for everyone's good.
Tian An glanced at her critically and said, "Auntie, you're worried that everyone will catch a cold, so go back to your house and get some things to set up tents for everyone!"
The auntie exclaimed, "Do you have a black heart? There's an earthquake right now! You want me to die!" She then yelled at the clan leader's wife, "Auntie, this girl has a black heart. She wants me to die!"
Before the clan leader's wife could say anything, Tian An said, "Aunt, what you're talking about is an earthquake! I can go home to get things to set up the tent, why can't I? This earthquake happened just when you were going in!" Then Tian An looked at her suspiciously, "You...are you feeling guilty because you did something wrong?"
As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at her, especially the aunts who were closer to her. They stood up and walked away, for fear of being implicated by her.
The aunt was dumbfounded. She pointed at the aunts who had walked away and asked, "What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly."
"What do you mean? He must be afraid of being implicated by you! After all, if you do too many bad things, you will get retribution." Tian An explained to her enthusiastically.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Who has done something wrong?"
Tian An curled his lips, raised his hand and extended a delicate finger, pointing it directly at the aunt, and began to stir up trouble: "I'm talking about you! If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you afraid of the earthquake? If you dare to go home and get food and oilcloth for the aunts to cook and set up tents, it will prove that you have done nothing wrong."
Everyone also looked up at her, "Yes, Tie Niu's wife, prove it!"
"Your home is nearby, you'll be back soon."
"Didn't you just say you were worried everyone would catch a cold? Go back and get your oilcloth and quilts, set up tents for everyone, and wrap them in quilts."
"And your old hen is perfect for making chicken soup for the children since it's cold at night."
“Please bring some eggs too.”
…
Tie Niu's wife listened to everyone talking back and forth, thinking that not only did they want her to die, but they also wanted to eat her family's food for free. She immediately rolled up her sleeves, rushed forward, pointed at the people who were talking, and spat at them.
"You black-hearted bastards, you actually want me to die, and you still want to drink chicken soup and eat eggs. Why doesn't the earthquake kill you all?"
The women who were cursed by her turned black in the face and shouted angrily: "Watch your mouth."
Unfortunately, Tie Niu's wife not only did not restrain herself, but also put her hands on her hips and cursed the other family members one by one.
But when she scolded a big and strong lady, the lady raised her hand without saying a word and slapped her in the face with such force that she spun around on the spot before falling to the ground.
Tie Niu's wife lay on the ground with dizzy eyes, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She screamed "Ah..." and got up and ran towards the old lady, "Damn Liu Aihua, I'm going to fight you."
As a result, as soon as he reached Liu Aihua, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground again, with his open mouth still holding Liu Aihua's big toe that was sticking out of the broken shoe.
Liu Aihua was stunned: "I was spreading manure at noon! So you like it, no wonder your mouth stinks."
Tian An looked at Tie Niu's wife lying on the ground, silently shifted his gaze, and quietly gave Deng Xue a thumbs up. "Not bad, well done."
That’s right, the reason why Tie Niu’s wife fell in front of Liu Aihua and happened to hold her toes in her mouth was all Deng Xue’s masterpiece.
Deng Xue was encouraged, and in the following battle between Tie Niu's wife and Liu Aihua, she assisted with all her might (using secret tricks), and in the end, Liu Aihua beat Tie Niu's wife effortlessly and left her lying on the ground dead.
Not to mention, after such a fight, Tie Niu's wife didn't even feel cold even though she was lying on the ground with her arms and legs spread out.
The sky was getting darker and darker. The bacon porridge simmering in the big pot was bubbling with steam, and the fragrance spread far away.
Tian An first scooped two bowls of porridge for Xiaokang and Xiaoqi, and then asked Qingmei and Zhenniang, who were responsible for making porridge, to give half a bowl of porridge to the children first, and then to the elderly people. As for the others, they had to find a way themselves.
There weren't many bowls, so the children had to take turns eating the porridge. When only half of the porridge was left, Qingmei and Zhenniang would pour the remaining porridge from the big pot into the kettle, then wash the rice and cook the porridge again.
Mangzhong brought a bowl of porridge to Tian An. Tian An took the bowl only after seeing that the children had almost finished eating. But just as he put the bowl to his mouth, he heard someone coming from the direction of the village.
"Sister-in-law An An, Sister-in-law An An, hurry up, Uncle Lei is dying."
Tian An stuffed the bowl back into Mangzhong's hand, stood up and ran towards the person who came.
Only when I got closer did I see clearly that it was Dashu and Qiushan who were carrying a simple stretcher together. The person on the stretcher had fainted, was covered in dirt, one of his legs was bloody, and half of the stretcher was soaked with blood.
"Hurry, carry them into the tent." Tian An checked and ran with the two of them to the empty tent reserved in advance.
Chunxi and the others had brought some candles with them before, and when they saw Tian An leading people towards the tent, they lit the candles quickly.
After carefully placing the stretcher on the ground, Tian An frowned as she looked at the dim candlelight. The tent was too simple, and she didn't dare to take the risk of bringing people into the space.
"The lighting was too dim. The bones in his leg were crushed. He needed immediate surgery, but the dim light made it impossible."
Deng Xue immediately said, "I'll go get some more candles from home."
But just as she turned around, she was stopped by someone. The tree passed her and was about to go out. "I'll get it."
But before he even left the tent, Deng Xue grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Do you know where the candles are? Go get them."
Tian An was checking Uncle Lei's injuries in the dim candlelight, and no one noticed a figure quietly leaving the tent.
When Qiushan arrived at Tian An's yard in the dark, he heard rustling sounds coming from a room. He thought that someone was brave enough to take advantage of the situation and steal something.
He picked up a hoe from the corner and approached carefully.
"Little thief, surrender..."
As soon as Akiyama saw the figure squatting in the house, he raised his hoe, ready to hit the target.
Deng Shuang was searching for candles in the warehouse when she heard a loud shout from behind her, nearly frightening her to death. Turning around, she saw a polished hoe just two fingers away from her head, frightening her so much that half of her soul flew away instantly.
When Qiushan saw the person on the ground turn around, he used all the strength in his arms to stop the hoe from hitting him.
