Chapter 73 Benefactor
"Not dead, not dead!"
"They are not dead, they are still alive!"
Su Chengnan thought of the child just now and immediately connected him with the doll mentioned by the village chief.
"really?"
"Miss, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
The old man looked back with red eyes, his eyes full of incredible hope.
"No, no!"
"I'm serious. If you don't believe me, ask them! We even talked to him. He was the one who told us to come find you."
Qingshan and Jiayi quickly added, "Yes, his parents were seriously injured because of the fire on their backs! The child is fine, and we are busy moving them to a safe place now."
Su Chengnan stepped forward and helped the two old men turn around. "Let's go out and talk about it. If we move quickly, we can go and help them. Otherwise, if the fire spreads, we will all be doomed."
“Hey hey!”
"Let's go, let's all go!"
The village chief pulled out his arms, leaned on his crutches with both hands, and quickened his pace.
Su Chengnan concentrated on supporting the old woman, and everyone quickened their pace and retreated one after another.
Goudan ran forward a few steps, then turned back hurriedly, "Dad! Mom! Come quickly."
Su Chengnan looked back when he heard the sound and found Goudan’s parents standing behind the crowd.
Hey! The carpenter in this village has quite fast hands. He drew the blueprint during the day, but his father was already in a wheelchair at night? Not only that, his mother also did one. Uh...it seems like the size is a bit narrow?
It seems that Tieniu Village is full of hidden talents.
Sun Liangyuan turned around and was about to go back, "Don't worry, I'll help you."
Seeing this, she quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Sun, you go first, we'll go."
“Su…”
Before Sun Liangyuan finished speaking, Su Chengnan turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran:
"Jia Yi! Come here to help."
"Yes, miss!"
Goudan's father put his hands on the wheel and pushed it forward. Although he was not yet skilled enough, he was obviously much faster than his wife. The child was worried about his mother and pushed hard with all his strength.
Jia Yi has long legs, and with the help of his assistant, he can cover the distance of four or five meters in two steps, pick up the child and put him into his mother's arms, "Hold on tight!"
"good!"
Su Chengnan also held the handle on the back of Goudan's father's wheelchair and began to sprint out.
The fire behind me was blown by the wind and swayed left and right. Weeds and crops were burning and crackling. The originally dark night was reflected by the fire and glowed red. The sky was already bright...
…
The group hurried and finally reached the river before the fire dragon caught up with them.
Goudan climbed down from his mother, knelt down and kowtowed to Su Chengnan and Jiayi, "Thank you for saving my life."
Su Chengnan frowned, bent down and helped him up: "You kid! Have you forgotten everything I told you before?"
"A man's knees are made of gold! Don't kneel down and kowtow to others all the time."
"Miss Fairy is none other than you! If it weren't for you, we would have been trapped just now."
"yes!"
"I also want to kowtow to you all!"
Yu Bao rushed out from the side and knelt down on the ground, imitating Goudan's actions.
Two people had just come out of the fire, their bodies and faces were covered with black ash, and they knelt in the black mud. If you didn't look carefully, you could hardly tell them apart.
When Goudan saw someone trying to snatch the thing from him, he couldn't help but struggle out of Su Chengnan's arms and started to compete with Yu Bao in speed.
The two of them knocked against each other madly.
Su Chengnan was anxious and angry, "What's wrong with you kids!"
"Hurry! Get up!"
"If you don't get up, I'm going to be angry."
Sun Liangyuan came over and stroked his beard, "Just let them kowtow."
"I was able to escape death today, maybe it's all thanks to you guys coming here. Otherwise, even if they had Qinggong skills, it would be useless. There are just too many old guys."
"Yes! If you hadn't come, my son and daughter-in-law would have had no choice but to wait for death." The village chief staggered to his feet from under the tree on the left. The people lying beside his legs were Yu Bao's parents.
"That's right, thank you so much."
All the surviving villagers seconded the motion.
Mi Feng rushed out from an inconspicuous corner carrying a medicine box, "This lady is as kind-hearted as a bodhisattva. You must thank her in the future. The people who came to remind you before were also ordered by her."
Su Chengnan turned her head and looked at him, not understanding why he attributed all the credit to her. Those guards were all from Ningyuan Palace, and even he himself was Lu Chaofeng's man.
Mi Feng pretended not to see her puzzled look and kicked Qingshan directly, "Is that right?"
Qingshan was shocked: "That's right! Doctor Mifeng is right! Thank you everyone... Thank you, Miss."
Su Chengnan knew that the two of them must have something to say, so she couldn't help but cough lightly, "I'm glad everyone is okay. We survived a disaster today, and maybe we will have good fortune in the future! We are still alive and well."
Qingshan shuddered.
Sun Liangyuan clapped his hands and nodded: "That's right! As long as people are alive, home will still be there!"
At this time, someone started to sob quietly.
"But my home is gone, my home is gone..."
"You ladies and gentlemen from rich families, naturally, you can talk without any backache. Just pat your butt and move to another place and you can still eat delicious food every day."
"We ordinary people depend on these fields! Now... now everything is gone in a fire!"
The woman cried louder and louder, and it looked like she wanted to put out the fire with her tears.
These people have lived in Tieniu Village for generations, and they all depended on Yinmeng Mountain and farmland for their livelihood. The fields were burned, and the mountain was also burned, which meant that the only thing they owned was gone.
The thin man next to her also started crying, "Yes! My home is gone, my house is gone. That was the land left by my great-grandfather!"
"That's eighteen acres! We can burn it down if we say so."
"What should I do? How am I going to live in the future? I am counting on saving some food this year so that I can get a wife next year."
The sturdy man sitting under the tree suddenly stood up, limped over with his burned leg, and angrily said, "Liu Laosan, stop howling! I just built a new house last month, and I was expecting to marry my wife off in a few days. Now, it's all ruined."
"But did you see me crying? How can a grown man cry like that? At worst, we can just do it shirtless! You're strong enough, are you afraid of starving to death?!"
Liu Laosan was yelled at by him, and his emotions were instantly ignited. "You are an outsider, what qualifications do you have to laugh at me? Your land was sold to you at a low price by your uncle. You didn't spend much money, so of course you don't feel bad about it. It's my ancestors' land!"
"Do you know what ancestor means? Do you think everyone is like you, fleeing from famine?"
"Third brother! Who are you calling an outsider? Say it again if you dare!"
Jia Yi and others wanted to stop the fight, but Su Chengnan shook his head slightly.
A fire burned down their home. This kind of suffering and pain is not something that others can easily empathize with. If we can't find a little reason to let them vent their anger, I'm afraid it will be even more painful...
It was not until everyone joined in the quarrel that the village chief finally spoke up.
“That’s enough!”
"If you still recognize me as an old man, then shut up!"
"Come over here quickly to discuss what to do next!"
