The fire spread quickly. Even though everyone was resting at home today, by the time the fire was put out, Lu Laicai's house was almost burned down. The team leader looked at the three blackened bodies carried out, his brows furrowed so much that he could almost pinch a fly to death. What had happened to their team this year? There had been no accidents for several years, but now, several times a year? "Old Lu, what do you think?" the team leader asked the village party secretary beside him. The village party secretary said, "I just walked around the house and saw the signs of fire. It's obvious that the fire started inside the house. It must have been an accident." The village party secretary thought to himself, what does he think? His heart was filled with joy. It was truly God's will that he could do what he had always wanted to do but had never dared to do. The whole family of troublemakers was finally reunited. Liu Quezi limped out of the kitchen with a black, chipped bowl in his hand. "Captain, they should have died before the house burned down." As soon as he said this, the others were stunned. The captain asked hurriedly, "What do you mean? What did you find?" Liu Quezi pulled out a small piece of half-cooked rhizome from the pitch-black bowl. "This is the root of hell grass. Eating even a little bit will cause vomiting and diarrhea. What's more, there is still half a bowl here, which can kill a cow. They should have put it in when cooking and picked it out when eating." The captain was shocked. "Is this thing common? What do the leaves look like? Why did I never know that our team has this thing?" "Captain, there is none around our brigade, only in Qiligou. Only in this season will a few tender leaves emerge, and there are thorns on the leaves. Most people won't touch them. After this season, the leaves will wilt. The roots are still growing in the soil, but they are not common. You have to be lucky to find them." "Today I saw Aunt Liu coming from that direction with a basket. She was carrying a full basket of tender wild vegetables. Judging from the mud on her cloth shoes, she must have walked a long way." "Not just today, I saw Liu coming from that side several times. I once said she was pretentious. Why did she have to run so far to dig? It's not like other wild vegetables are edible." "It's terrible, terrible. The old saying is true, women have the most vicious hearts. Not only men, but she can even kill her own sons." "That's right, tigers are so vicious, they don't eat their own cubs. Everyone stay away from old women in the future, otherwise you won't even know when she will die." "Stinky boy, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak, and you stay away from old women? Why don't you kick your mother out? I think Lu Laicai and his son are getting their retribution. Even a clay man has some temper. They simply deserve it." The noisy voices gave the captain a headache, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. The living examples are right in front of you. The mother-in-law who likes to rub her daughter-in-law, the old man who doesn't treat his daughter-in-law as a human being, open your eyes and take a good look. If your thinking can't keep up with the progress of the times, and if you keep your old ideas, their today may be your tomorrow. This is definitely not an exaggeration. When people are forced into a desperate situation, they can do anything extreme. Look at the three corpses lying in front of you. Not only did they die ugly, but they also didn't get any mercy from others. They all say they deserved it. If you don't want to have such an end, then improve your ideological awareness, stop being unreasonable, creating family conflicts, and making chaos all day long." The three corpses lying on the ground probably never thought that they would become the best examples for the captain to shout.
