Chapter 164 Who set the fire?
There were no windows in the little house, and in addition to the twins there was another little girl.
The three children were choked by the thick smoke.
Lin Yangyang first wiped their faces with a wet sheet. Just when she wanted to take the children out, suddenly a burning beam fell down and pointed directly at them!
Lin Yangyang was startled and quickly hugged the three children in her arms, using her pretty back to block the beam.
Fortunately, the bullet missed the target and only hit her left shoulder, but it was still painful enough. If she hadn't been covered with a wet sheet, her clothes would have caught fire.
Enduring the severe pain, Lin Yangyang wanted to rush out with one on her back or two in her arms, but when she moved her shoulders, she found that she had no strength in her shoulders... her bones must have been injured!
My left hand was in so much pain that I couldn't move it at all, and I couldn't even pick up a child.
But now, we can't stay in this room for too long!
Every minute you stay is a minute closer to death!
"Jia Yan!" Lin Yangyang didn't even think twice and directly draped the quilt over Lu Jia Yan. "Follow me, put on the quilt and hold the corner of my clothes."
"mother…"
"Xiao Ming, I'm carrying you on my back, but my hand is injured. You have to hold me with all your strength."
Having said that, Lin Yangyang bent over and let Xiao Ming lie on her back, while she held Ning Ning tightly with her right hand. Although her left shoulder bone was injured, she still endured the severe pain and held the little girl tightly behind her.
Without waiting for Lu Jiayan to say anything, Lin Yangyang counted: "1, 2, 3! Go!"
After counting to three, Lin Yangyang quickly ran towards the door.
Lu Jiayan held Lin Yangyang's clothes tightly and followed closely behind her.
Although the fire was getting bigger, the house was not very large, so it was not difficult to get out before the roof collapsed.
When they saw four people rushing out of the sea of fire, the people outside the house finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly poured water on them.
Wei Mingfang hugged Lu Jiayan tightly and looked at Lin Yangyang with a worried look on her face, "Yangyang...are you and Ningning okay?"
Lin Yangyang shook her head, let out a breath, put Ningning down, and took a towel to wipe her clean.
"How did the fire suddenly break out? Jiayan, you were in the house, didn't you know there was a fire outside?"
Lu Jiayan's face was dark. He looked up at Lin Yangyang and thought carefully.
"We were playing hide-and-seek and had no intention of going into the house. But somehow, all the doors were open. Since no one lived in the house, Ningning, Xiaoming and I hid inside. Soon I smelled gasoline and we wanted to leave, but the door was locked from the outside. We couldn't get out... Mom, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought Ningning and Xiaoming into the house."
Xiao Ming's grandmother also wanted to blame Lin Yangyang, but when she thought about how it was Lin Yangyang who rescued her granddaughter regardless of the danger, she had to hold back and keep silent.
But Wei Mingfang couldn't help but blame him: "Jia Yan, do you know how dangerous it was just now? The fire spread so quickly, if you weren't careful, all three of you would have been burned to death in there!"
The three children lowered their heads and said nothing, and Lu Jiayan's eyes gradually turned red.
Because Lu Jiayan felt that it was his fault.
"You can't do this again! What if something happens? You..."
"Mom." Lin Yangyang suddenly interrupted, frowning and asking, "Where were you when the children were playing?"
Hearing this, Wei Mingfang was startled and suddenly felt unhappy. "What's wrong? Do you want to blame me?"
"No." Lin Yangyang shook her head, "I just want to know where you were at that time."
Although there was no blame in her tone, Wei Mingfang still felt unhappy.
"Where can I be? Didn't you say they are not allowed to leave the compound? I'll just sit under the banyan tree with Aunt Zhang and Aunt Hua!"
After saying that, he muttered quietly: "If something goes wrong, they're looking for someone to take the blame!"
Lin Yangyang didn't pay attention to her words, because she already had an idea in her mind...
"Have you seen a man wearing a white vest, army green shoes, and black trousers?"
Hearing her say this, Wei Mingfang was slightly startled, then she realized that she seemed to have found some clues.
But, "It's so hot, aren't there many people wearing this?"
Lin Yangyang shook his head and asked, "How long have you been sitting under the banyan tree?"
Wei Mingfang replied, "Not long after you left, I was sitting there with Aunt Hua."
Auntie Hua nodded and said, "Yes, it's cool under the banyan tree. Auntie Zhang has been sitting there for a long time."
Lin Yangyang continued to ask, "Then, while you were sitting there, did you notice that a man who was probably about 50 years old came into the compound. He was wearing a white vest, black pants, and military green shoes... a bit like a Mediterranean! When he came in, he was probably holding something heavy in his hand."
Wei Mingfang understood immediately. She looked at Lin Yangyang in astonishment, "You mean, it was that man who set the fire?"
"Yeah. I doubt it."
This man was the one she met in front of the compound gate when she came back just now. When he passed by her, Lin Yangyang smelled the smell of gasoline.
When she looked back, she saw how he was dressed and wondered why she had never seen this man in the compound.
After a moment, Aunt Hua suddenly frowned and said, "Now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression of it. I seemed to have seen this man today at the banyan tree head. I also wondered what was in the bucket he was holding."
Everyone looked at Aunt Hua in confusion.
Then Aunt Hua turned around and looked at Aunt Liu. "There was a guard at the door. I heard the guard ask who he was and what he was doing here. The man said he was here to repair the electrical appliances in Aunt Liu's house."
Aunt Liu, who was named, was confused. She held Xiao Ming tightly in her arms and shook her head, "No one came to our house today, and there was nothing wrong with the electrical appliances at home. Moreover, if that person knew us, how could he have almost killed Xiao Ming as well?"
This is true.
"Maybe they just wanted to find an excuse to get into the compound... The fire has been put out, luckily everyone is fine. Let's go back first. I will try to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Now there are only three possibilities.
The first possibility is that the other party is the enemy of the owner of the house, so he wanted to set the fire.
But this possibility is not very high, because Jiayan said that the other party deliberately locked the three of them in the small room.
Therefore, the second and third possibilities are most likely.
I came here for the twins or Xiao Ming.
Now all the people in the compound are women, so we have to wait until the men come back before making a decision.
Lin Yangyang thought of Lu Shiyuan. She handed Ningning to Wei Mingfang and said, "Mom, go back and give them a bath and make some calming tea. I'll go to the army to find Shiyuan. When you get back, close the door and don't go out yet."
Turning around, he looked at Aunt Liu again, "Aunt Liu, you too, stay home with Xiao Ming after you go back, and don't go out until Brother Liu comes back."
