If it was discovered that he was the one who started the fire, he would not only be beaten up, but he would definitely be beaten.
Wu Liqiang pulled him aside and whispered, "Son, tell me honestly, why did you come here?"
"Just out for a stroll, I'm going home first."
As he struggled free, a box of matches fell out of his pocket.
"What is this! Tell the truth!"
This kid is going to heaven.
If you don't fight for two days, the tiles will fall off the roof.
I'm afraid the fire was caused by my son.
Poor kid, although he hated the couple, he didn't intend to kill anyone.
"Dad, I didn't mean it."
After Wu Xiaobao finished speaking, he began to sob softly.
I was so scared that I was shaking all over.
If the situation wasn't wrong, Wu Liqiang would have beaten him up severely.
How dare he come and set fire without making any noise?
Fortunately, no one was killed.
I don’t know what to say about someone doing something like this during the New Year.
"Did anyone see you coming?"
"Hong Tao and Hong Bo seemed to have seen it, but they didn't know it was me who set the fire. They couldn't see clearly because they were far away," Wu Xiaobao said fearfully.
Wu Liqiang remembered that it was these two brothers who had just called out to people at Old Li's door.
Li Goudan must not know about this.
If he knew about this, he would definitely blackmail me and might even let me move into his house.
"Xiaobao, no matter who asks you, you insist you don't know why the fire started. You only came to the wheat field to visit your mother for the New Year. Remember that?"
"I remember."
Li Mingqing took advantage of darkness.
He poured all the two large vats of water stored in the space onto the area where the fire was spreading.
It will only be effective if you fill the tank with water.
It would be difficult to fetch water from the river with a bucket.
The New Year's Eve made the folks scared.
"Damn it, who is playing dirty tricks? What a wicked person! He actually set fire to the wheat field. What a lack of moral integrity!"
Li Goudan wiped the dust off his face and started cursing.
Not only did they have no house to live in, but a fire also burned down the straw hut.
This is the real end of the road.
Li Mingqing was standing aside and when he turned around, he saw Wu Liqiang and his son Wu Xiaobao standing quietly.
Under normal circumstances, Wu Liqiang would have been ridiculed by Li Goudan.
Now there is no movement at all.
There must be something fishy going on here.
But it has nothing to do with him. The conflict between Li Goudan and Wu Liqiang over Liu Xiang cannot be resolved overnight.
Sun Jiaxue came over with a flashlight.
"Brother Mingqing, are you okay?"
"Nothing at all."
"I was terrified to see the thick black smoke and bright flames. It really was on fire. Fortunately, the villagers came quickly, otherwise all the haystacks in the wheat field would have been destroyed."
"Wife, let's go back. There's so much dust that we don't want to stain our clothes."
Hong Tao and Hong Bo were lighting firecrackers in front of Li's house.
Zhang Chunya and Old Lady Li stood at the door and looked towards the wheat field.
He casually asked, "Hong Tao, how did you discover the fire?"
"Grandma, we followed Wu Xiaobao to the wheat field. Within two minutes of arriving, a fire broke out. We had no idea what was going on."
"Maybe Liu Xiang accidentally lit it while cooking."
"As long as everyone is alright."
