"Ah! Help! My dog bit me!" Xiao Deshun shouted very loudly.
Qiao Xiaoshan, who was inside the house, rushed out the moment the dog barked. Seeing that the doorway was on fire, he quickly went back inside, grabbed a large basin of water, and poured it onto the burning woodpile.
It took three basins of water to put out the fire. It was terrifying; the shop almost went up in flames. And in the distance, the culprit was battling the husky.
He stormed over, only to find the man's face slashed by the dog's claws, blood flowing freely.
"Erha, go stand over there."
The Siberian Husky obediently did as instructed and returned to its original spot to lie down.
"Help!" Xiao Deshun cried out for help repeatedly. He had never suffered like this in his life.
"Did you start the fire? You wanted to burn me to death!" Qiao Xiaoshan kicked him in the chest.
"Ouch! It hurts so much! Sister, save me!" Xiao Deshun screamed.
Xiao Ruxue suddenly woke up, heard the noise outside, put on her clothes and ran out.
Wang An followed closely behind. The scene outside was too horrific; his brother-in-law's face was covered in blood, and the surroundings were filled with choking smoke.
"What happened?"
Xiao Ruxue rushed out and shoved Qiao Xiaoshan aside: "Why did you hit my brother?"
Qiao Xiaoshan pointed to the door: "Your brother set fire to try and burn me to death, so what if I hit him a couple of times?"
"Even if I kill him today, it would be my right."
Xiao Ruxue looked at the firewood at the gate, which had been extinguished by water, and her younger brother reeked of alcohol.
The answer immediately came to mind: it must be that my younger brother got drunk and set fire to people.
Wang An slapped his thigh: "What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family! Why did you, you heartless bastard, set the fire?"
Thinking about how a serious accident almost happened, cold sweat broke out on my back, and my heart pounded in my chest.
Xiao Deshun was helped up: "Sister, I'm in so much pain! That dog shouldn't be allowed to come; it almost bit me to death!"
Xiao Ruxue looked at the dog squatting in the corner, wishing she could skin it and eat its flesh, but now she didn't have the chance.
Qiao Xiaoshan: "What are you two looking at? You think you can justify arson and murder? I'm going to report you to the police right now and send you to jail!"
When the siblings heard that the police had been called, they immediately became scared.
Xiao Ruxue stepped forward to block the other party's way: "Brother, please forgive my brother. He made a mistake after drinking too much."
Let's settle this privately, so don't report it to the police.
"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have set the fire. I drank too much and acted on impulse. I didn't really mean to burn you to death," Xiao Deshun explained.
He didn't want to go to jail; arson was a serious crime, and he had heard about it countless times.
He only did this stupid thing because he had just drunk a pound of liquor. Normally, he wouldn't dare to do it even if you gave him the guts.
Qiao Xiaoshan: "This is the second time. I won't let you get away with this. You will pay the price for what you've done." After saying that, he walked towards the street ahead, where the police station was located.
Unable to chase after them while supporting her younger brother, Xiao Ruxue said to Wang An, who was standing to the side, "What are you thinking, husband? Hurry up and bring him back! Tell him we'll pay compensation, give them the shop back, we can't let our brother go to jail!"
Wang An raised his hand and slapped Xiao Ruxue hard: "Have you been drinking too? What nonsense are you spouting? This shop is the culmination of our hard work, are we going to throw it all away for this spendthrift son?"
How much money have I spent on you, my brother? Every time you beg me, crying and saying it's the last time, the very last time. When will you finally give up? Do you expect me to lose my life before you'll be satisfied?
