The sky was dark, and lightning flashed and thunder roared from the distant volcano.
By the light of the lightning, one could vaguely see a large patch of thick fog approaching.
The rolling lightning was like the eyes of a demon, sending shivers down one's spine.
The wind is blowing this way, and thick volcanic ash is being blown over.
"Come back quickly, Wu family!"
Old Li stood at the door and called out.
This was the first time Wu Gui had ever seen so many good things. Although they were mostly tables, chairs, pots, pans, and dishes, there were so many that if he took more, he was sure he could sell them for a good price.
These idiots don't want them; these things are ownerless now.
That's his.
Wu Gui was smugly thinking about it, completely unaware of the danger that was about to befall him.
As for Old Li calling him, he didn't hear him at all because of the wind direction.
Wu Yingqiu started to get anxious, "Brother, come back quickly!"
Unfortunately, the other party still didn't hear it.
Grandma Wu stood at the door, extremely anxious.
She casually pushed her daughter-in-law, You Xia, out.
"Bring your man back right now!"
You Xia took a few steps forward, saw the thick fog in the sky, and was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
"What are you standing there for? Go on!" Wu Yingqiu kicked her.
You Xia shakily got up and walked step by step toward Wu Gui's location.
Many people frowned, but it was someone else's family matter, and they didn't want to interfere.
Grandma Nan sat down next to Nan Zhi and said angrily, "How can she bully her own sister-in-law just because her daughter-in-law is no human being?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingqiu suddenly realized that Song Hanyan had seen her shrewish demeanor.
She was so upset she was about to cry.
Grandma Wu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, my dear girl?"
Wu Yingqiu bit her lip and remained silent.
It's all that bitch's fault. Wait until my brother gets back, and see how she deals with Youxia.
You Xia practically crawled to Wu Gui's side.
Seeing her arrive, Wu Gui said happily, "You have good taste. Quickly help me carry some of these things; I can't carry them all."
You Xia was in no mood to take anything; she tugged at Wu Gui's sleeve.
"What are you standing there for? Help me get my things!" Wu Gui yelled irritably.
Those who lack knowledge and experience don't know how to help.
He stood up and kicked You Xia twice to vent his anger.
She rolled around twice, clutching her stomach, in excruciating pain.
Wu Gui acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued with his own work.
You Xia pointed behind him, still muttering, "Husband, sir, behind."
"What do you mean by 'behind'?"
Wu Gui didn't have time, but her gaze was definitely off.
He looked up and was immediately stunned.
"Good heavens, what is this?!"
Regaining his senses, he dragged his belongings and hurriedly ran back.
Youxia was in so much stomach pain that she couldn't stand up.
She reached out her hand, only to see Wu Guiyuan's departing figure.
"Husband, my husband."
You Xia lowered her hands.
The old woman inside was heartbroken watching this.
"That bastard threw his wife away for some junk."
Nanzhi frowned as she looked into the distance. Youxia was no longer moving; if the volcanic ash came over, she would be burned.
Although they are some distance from the volcano, the wind is blowing this way, and the volcanic ash will be blown here.
If she isn't rescued, she will be buried by volcanic ash.
Nanzhi looked at Weiguo.
Wei Guo bowed, understanding his master's meaning.
He walked towards the door and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Another person has left. Don't they all have a death wish?"
Using his light-footed skills, Wei Guo quickly brought back the unconscious You Xia.
In contrast, Wu Gui was carrying many things, which slowed down the process.
We finally returned the moment the volcanic ash arrived.
Everyone quickly closed the granary door.
Suddenly, the granary was plunged into darkness.
Someone lit a tinderbox and lit the kerosene lamp next to the granary.
Finally, light shone into the huge granary.
Immediately afterwards, more and more kerosene lamps were lit, illuminating the entire granary.
Nanzhi asked curiously, "Why are there so many kerosene lamps in the granary?"
Generally speaking, smoking and open flames should be prohibited in grain warehouses.
Song Hanyan: "Because it is an underground granary, candlesticks were left when the granary was built for lighting when the grain was being stored."
So that's how it is.
This is the painful whimpering of the woman on the ground.
Everyone turned their gaze over and, by the candlelight, saw that Youxia was bleeding from below.
Meanwhile, the Wu family was happily examining the things Wu Gui had brought back.
Old Li pulled Wu Gui over, "Quick, look what's wrong with your wife?"
"What can she do? She's just faking it!" Wu Gui said dismissively.
This woman is very resilient. "Don't worry, just take the child back."
Wu Gui couldn't even bear to look at You Xia on the ground before returning to his own place.
A knowledgeable woman could tell at a glance that Youxia had miscarried.
A woman from the same village called out to Old Lady Wu, "Auntie, I think your daughter-in-law has had a miscarriage."
"What!"
Grandma Wu suddenly stood up and walked to You Xia's side, and sure enough, she saw a pool of blood under her.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Useless thing, you can't even save the child."
The village doctor from the neighboring village came up to take my pulse.
"This woman is bleeding too much; we need to stop the bleeding quickly, or she will die."
Nanzhi had Cherry inspect it.
“Master, the old man is right, we must save them quickly.”
Saving lives costs money.
Grandma Wu: "How much will it cost?"
Upon hearing this, the old doctor frowned and said, "Two taels of silver."
"Two taels! You're not here to extort money, are you?"
Wu Yingqiu walked over, and upon hearing that it was only two taels of silver, she immediately refused.
