The night sky is dark and bright red flames are dancing on the roof. I just want to ask you if you are afraid!
Yu Sui didn't care about anything else. She opened the door and ran out, shouting, "Mom! Dad! Get up quickly, there's a fire, there's a fire! Sister, quickly bring Lanlan and Guoguo out. Someone, my house is on fire! Help! Help!"
It was one o'clock in the morning, and the mountain village was so quiet that it seemed isolated from the world.
Yu Sui's voice echoed over the entire mountain village. Soon, dogs started barking and people began shouting.
Even in the south of the Yangtze River, the winter is relatively dry. The roof of the old house was covered with oil felt and straw. After the fire caught fire, it burned very quickly. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. At Yu Sui's loud shouts, Sun Yuying and Yu Haichao both ran out.
In a hurry, Sun Yuying was able to take out the money she had saved.
Despite this, she was still very anxious and distressed. She came out and kept jumping around in the yard, directing Yu Haichao and Yu Hemiao to put out the fire.
Unfortunately, Yu Haichao injured one of his legs and couldn't run fast, so he had to be responsible for fetching water from the well, and Yu Hemiao was responsible for watering the roof.
A mess.
Wu Su had also run out a long time ago, but she squatted aside wrapped in a quilt, with only the strength to breathe deeply. She felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, unable to breathe, and cold.
Yu Sui was very clear-headed. She was pregnant and not suitable to put out the fire. Besides, she was so rich that it didn't matter even if the whole house burned down, as long as no one was hurt.
So she held Yu Lanlan in one hand and Yu Guoguo in the other, standing outside the fence, shouting heartbreakingly: "Dad, Mom, sister, come out! The house is on fire, but it's okay as long as you're alive. Come out here!"
But Yu Haichao is unwilling to accept it, and neither are Sun Yuying and Yu Hemiao. Anyone who lives in this era will be unwilling to accept it.
They thought that if the house burned down, there would be nothing left.
Fortunately, Yu Haichao and Sun Yuying are usually popular, and when Yu Sui called out, many people soon came to help.
Everyone was busy pouring water on the house, and someone bravely suggested pushing down the wall connecting the wing rooms to block the source of the fire.
Finally, after more than two hours, the fire was extinguished.
Well, the roofs of the three main rooms were burned, and the things inside were inevitably turned to charcoal. Even if there was nothing burned, it would be useless. But the side rooms and the small room built by Yu Hemiao were all fine.
In Yu Sui's eyes, this is not a big loss.
Yu Haichao and Sun Yuying were particularly sad.
Yu Hemiao was busy comforting the two children. The children were not hurt, but they were very scared.
Wrapped in the quilt, Wu Su was no longer panting, nor was he cold anymore. Amidst the clamor, he whispered to Yu Sui, "Hey, I see the sun. The sun is out, and there's a sweet smell of the sun drying the quilt."
Yu Sui was calm and said, "I don't know whether the sun will come out or not. I only know that I have to pay for it. We are going to build a new house."
The neighbors were all comforting Sun Yuying, Yu Haichao, Zhang Caifeng and other close relatives, and they even went back home to bring quilts, oil lamps and other items. It was really very good.
Seeing that her parents looked as if they were worse than death, Yu Sui thanked everyone on their behalf and promised to thank everyone when she recovered. Only then did everyone disperse.
When I turned around to look at Sun Yuying and the others, I saw that they were still sitting in the open space facing the ruins, with dejected looks on their faces.
Yu Sui: "Dad, Mom, the house has burned down. It's useless to look at it any more. This house is old. It was built before my sister was even born. Most of it is made of adobe, which is not solid. Now houses are made of red bricks, which are solid and bright. It's perfect. Let's build a new house."
Sun Yuying: "That's easy for you to say! Building a red brick house would cost at least eighty thousand, if not a thousand. Where would we get the money? Woo woo woo!"
Yu Haichao staggered towards the ruins, trying to find something useful.
Yu Sui stopped him: "Dad, come back. Don't look at it. There might be hidden sparks in those things. If you turn them over, you might get burned."
Yu Haichao sighed: "How could this happen? How could there be a fire? This is really weird!"
In fact, this question is also the doubt in Yu Sui's heart.
She saw the roof on fire with her own eyes.
So the question is, how could the roof catch fire if there were no fireworks or short circuit in the wires?
The key is that it was chosen in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping the deepest.
The intention to kill someone is so obvious, so this kind of thing is most likely man-made.
Who is it?
Based on Yu Sui's understanding of Yu Qiu, there is a 99% chance that she was the one causing the trouble.
A last-ditch effort, isn't it?
Then you wait for me.
Yu Sui cursed inwardly and rushed over to support her father: "Dad, instead of wondering how the fire started, why not think about how lucky we are that no one was hurt and everything is fine. We are not afraid of losing the house, as long as everyone is safe."
Yu Haichao looked back at Yu Sui in the dim light of the oil lamp.
Yu Sui nodded firmly at him.
Yu Haichao hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, as long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters. By the way, I hurriedly called your mother because I heard you calling me. How did you see the fire? If it weren't for you, our family would be finished tonight!"
"It was my godmother. She couldn't sleep well after changing the bed, and she woke me up by tossing and turning. She said she smelled something burning, so I got up to check, and then I saw a fire. I was so grateful to her."
"Oh, then we must thank her very much. I'll go and talk to your mother." Yu Haichao hurried over.
Yu Sui began to walk around the house.
The person who set the fire was probably not Yu Qiu himself.
This person is a little smart, but also very stupid.
His cleverness was that he knew setting the fire in the middle of the night would increase the chances of fatalities; his folly was that if he wanted the roof to catch fire first, he would have to throw the fire starter up there. This approach wasn't typical of Yu Qiu's devious ways.
Moreover, the arsonist felt guilty and just wanted to set the fire and run away, so he chose to throw the fire directly to the roof. Then, there must be clues left around it, because the fire was too small to be thrown up, so something was needed to start the fire.
After Yu Sui wandered around the back of the house and found a deserted place, she slipped into the space and first used the piles of banknotes in the corner to buy some old banknotes of this era, and then bought a high-intensity flashlight.
Buying these things is easy and convenient, and the money can be put directly into the pocket. The army also has things like high-intensity flashlights, so it is easier to find an excuse. After buying them, Yu Sui went out of the space and opened it to use.
The high-intensity flashlight shone inch by inch around, even covering the area within ten meters.
Finally, Yu Sui picked up a bottle on the ground three meters away from Yu Sui's house.
