In May, the sun was shining brightly, and it was very hot and sultry. It was as hot as a stove, making people almost cooked. Even the wind was hot and unbearable.

It was already noon, and most people had already had lunch, including the people in Zhaojiacun.

Farmers have a lot of work in the fields. Most of them bring food to the field ridges to eat, and then work after a short break. Some people are too afraid of the heat and can't stand it, so they run to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool weather. There are also some men. Take a swim in the river to cool down.

One characteristic of the nearby villages is that there is a century-old banyan tree at the entrance of the village with luxuriant branches. After dinner, the elderly in the village like to go there to cool off and chat, and the children also like to play under the tree with their companions.

Zhaojia Village is surrounded by mountains, with green mountains and beautiful waters. It has a population of about one hundred households, with two surnames: Zhao and Wang. The majority of them are surnamed Zhao, so it is called Zhaojia Village.

After Zhao Man rested for half an hour, he said, "Mom, Ah Xiu, it's too hot. Please take a rest while I work first."

I don't know if it was because the weather was too hot, but Wanxiu felt depressed and uneasy. Her face was sunburned and she looked miserable.

"Aman, I don't mind. Mom, are you hot? Do you want to take Brother Chuan back to have a rest and come back when the heat subsides a little?"

Wanxiu touched the forehead of her son, who was sleeping soundly under the tree. Seeing that his face was red, she thought he had a fever. Fortunately, his forehead was not hot, so it was a false alarm.

When Mrs. Cui saw her daughter-in-law's expression was not good, she said, "Axiu, sit here and relax, don't tire yourself out."

Hearing this, Wan Xiu felt warm in her heart. Her mother-in-law was very kind and considerate, and she treated her as her own mother.

Mrs. Cui muttered again: "You should have carried Brother Chuan and Sister Ling back together before. It's better to lie down at home than here."

Although this little daughter-in-law doesn't talk much, she has a good temper. Mrs. Cui likes to talk to her.

Seeing that his mother and daughter-in-law were getting along well, Zhao Man felt happy and felt that the weather was no longer hot and he was full of energy.

This warm scene was broken by shouts in the distance.

"The Aman family is in trouble, something serious is going to happen..."

A tall man rushed over, his dark face covered with sweat, and he was panting so hard that he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

"Brother Zhu, what's going on? Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."

"It's a matter of life and death, can I not be anxious? Your house is on fire, and your girl is still inside, you..."

Hearing this, Zhao Man's expression changed drastically. Before he could finish speaking, he jumped out of the field without even wearing any shoes and ran towards home.

"Ling'er."

Wan Xiu's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She didn't care about anything and ran towards home. She was so anxious that she even dropped one of her shoes without noticing.

When Zhao Man returned home, a group of people gathered around his door, putting out fires and watching the excitement, and it was noisy.

The fire was so strong that bucket after bucket of water could not put it out.

"Where is my Ling'er?" Zhao Man asked anxiously.

"Maybe it's still inside. Your door is so strong that you can't even kick it open."

Zhao Man didn't care about anything, picked up a bucket of water, poured it on himself, and kicked him with all his strength.

There was a "boom".

In the eyes of others, the door that could not be opened or broken was kicked to pieces by him.

As soon as I entered, I saw a little man lying on the ground.

"Ling'er." Zhao Man picked up his daughter on the ground and rushed out.

As soon as he ran out of the door, a pillar came down, almost hitting him.

This thrilling scene was seen by Wan Xiu, who had just returned. She was so shocked that her legs softened and she fell to the ground. She wanted to get up, but her legs were sore that she could not stand up.

She rolled and crawled to her husband's side.

Zhao Man laid his daughter flat on the ground and shook her, "Ling'er, wake up, daddy is back."

The little girl's eyes were closed tightly and she remained motionless. Zhao Man tried to pinch her, but it didn't work.

"Ling'er, wake up, open your eyes and see, I am your mother, don't let anything happen to you, how do you want me to live?" Wanxiu cried.

"Axiu, go find Dr. Wang, our Ling'er will be fine."

Zhao Man was very panicked. Seeing that his wife was about to cry and faint, he comforted her with a few words. He had better legs and feet, so he should go find a doctor.

As soon as he stood up, he staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

"Doctor Wang is here." someone shouted.

When he saw Zhao Man carrying his daughter out, someone had already called Doctor Wang for him.

Some people continued to help him put out the fire, and the fire had been extinguished by the time the doctor arrived.

"Uncle Wang, help, save my daughter."

As soon as he saw Doctor Wang, Zhao Man immediately stepped forward and pulled him over.

The old man was pulled unsteadily by him and almost fell to the ground.

Knowing that he was anxious, Doctor Wang did not blame him and ordered: "Take Ling Yatou into the house and everyone can disperse."

Seeing this, Wanxiu quickly carried her daughter into the house.

Zhao Man saw that his wife had taken the lead and bowed to everyone, "Fellow folks, thank you for your help today. I will come and say thank you when you are free in a few days."

"Man Man, fellow villagers don't need to be polite to us. Girl Ling will be fine. We won't delay you. You can go in."

Everyone left with interest, some people still wanted to watch the fun and kept looking in the distance.

"Uncle Wang, how is Linger?"

"She has inhaled a large amount of smoke, which has entered her lungs. The situation is not optimistic. She will have repeated fevers and will be fine when she wakes up. If she fails to wake up, her life will be in danger."

The Zhao couple were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they prayed, "Uncle Wang, you must save Ling'er."

"I'll prescribe some medicine first. You take the medicine according to the prescription, and then I'll teach you how to lower your temperature. I'll come back tomorrow to take a look."

Zhao Man took the prescription and went to grab the medicine. Wanxiu had just changed her daughter into clean clothes when Mrs. Cui walked in, "Axiu, how is Ling'er?"

With tears in her eyes, Wanxiu choked and said, "Mom, Ling'er will be fine. Where is Brother Chuan?"

"I put him in my house and he's not awake yet."

A cough interrupted their conversation.

The little girl on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.

"Ling'er, you're awake, it's great." Wanxiu shouted in surprise.

Zhao Ling was still a little confused. She had a headache, chest tightness, and an itchy throat. "Water..."

Wanxiu quickly fed her water. After drinking a few glasses of water, she felt much better and her mind became clearer.

Wasn't she burned to death? Where is this? Underworld? She was dreaming, why did she see her mother-in-law and grandma who were younger than before.

"Mom, grandma, I miss you so much." She said aggrievedly.

Her voice was as weak as a kitten's, which was pitiful. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held her and cried bitterly.

At first, Zhao Ling thought she was dreaming. The dream was so real that she thought she was reunited with her family in the underworld. It wasn't until she saw her own hand and pinched herself that she was sure she was alive again.

"Damn it, who did this? It's evil!" A sharp and mean voice came from outside.

Chapter two

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Ling felt a strong hatred in her heart. She was holding on, but she fainted after being stimulated.
