Reborn 1980: Scientific research leader farms to serve the motherland

Chapter 84 On Fire

The peace of sleeping, unaware.

The light in her palm flashed past, neither painful nor itchy, and An Ning didn't notice it at all.

An Ning slept soundly, and when she opened her eyes, she felt like she didn't know what year it was today.

The whole house was too quiet.

It was so quiet that there seemed to be no one around.

It was so quiet that it scared her.

An Ning stood up and looked outside, only to see darkness.

She raised her wrist and looked at the time in the faint moonlight.

"37:[-], where are the people?

An Ning went to the ground anxiously and left the house.

There was no one in the kitchen, no one in the room opposite, not even the injured second brother.

"Nothing should happen."

He gradually felt peaceful and ran out. No one was in the eldest brother's house, not even the younger brother who was taking the college entrance examination.

In the whole house, there are only a few hens and a big rooster.

"what sound?"

Standing in the courtyard, An Ning vaguely heard someone shouting.

She ran outside.

"Oh my God!"

An Ning instantly understood why. The soaring fire was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

on fire!

An Ning ran as fast as she could, towards the light of the fire.

As she approached, the place was already busy.

All the villagers formed a water delivery line, sending bucket after bucket forward.

Not only that, those who could use a shovel kept shoveling dirt in front of the fire and vigorously threw it towards the burning house.

"Quick! Quick!"

"got windy!"

"Everyone work hard!"

An Ning did not immediately come forward to help, she observed the entire fire.

Most of the houses in rural areas are close together, and everyone rushes to put out fires because the wind is coming.

The wind helped the fire, and the houses in this row were in danger.

Although the fire was being put out, the speed was too slow.

What should I do?

An Ning ran to Sun Dazhuang, grabbed him and shouted.

"Captain, pretend to be stupid, I'll go to the room!"

After saying An Ning's words, he climbed directly over the wall to the neighbor's house where the fire was burning. He didn't use a ladder. He just climbed onto the window sill in one step, put his hands on the eaves, turned over and climbed onto the roof.

"Captain, hurry!"

Sun Dazhuang's reaction was not slow. The fire was right in the middle and he could extinguish the core part on the roof.

"Quickly, pretend to be stupid and give peace!"

After Sun Dazhuang shouted, Jiang Xia reacted the fastest. He jumped onto the window edge, picked up a bucket of soil, and handed it over.

An Ning lay on the eaves, picked up the bucket with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Get a bigger one! I can carry it!"

The villagers below were not slow to act either.

Several villagers took silk bags and laid out the baskets. People on the other side shoveled the soil in the vegetable garden vigorously, not caring about the vegetables.

A basket full of soil is too much for one person to move.

An Guoqing followed Jiang Xia's example and climbed onto the window sill. Someone hugged their legs below them, and the two of them worked together to lift a basket of soil up.

An Ning, who was above, used his two hands to pull up again and sprinkled a basket of soil on the place where the fire was most intense.

Basket after basket of soil was picked up.

There were people in front and behind the burning house at this time, and coupled with the tranquility directly above, the fire finally tended to become smaller.

The captain below, Sun Dazhuang, immediately shouted decisively: "Get on the roof of Lao Li's house, hurry up!"

Several men climbed up from the wall to the room, and the three of them worked together to catch the buckets handed to them from below, and began to put out the fire one by one.

Ten minutes later, only sporadic flames remained in the fire.

"Quick, quick, it's the last bit, work harder!"

At this time, Sun Dazhuang's face was darkened, and the hair on his arms was burned away.

The villagers continued, and An Ning continued to observe mentally, until there were no more sparks, then he collapsed on the roof, looking at the stars in the sky, and giggling.

Most of the villagers below also collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Xia and An Guoqing, who had been standing on the windowsill handing out soil, had their arms trembling, but their faces looked relieved.

The fire is out.

The man who put out the fire in front almost had no energy left, and the villagers who had been delivering water from behind began to clean up the fire, pouring more water to make sure it couldn't re-ignite.

Everything seemed to be settled, until a cry came.

"My house——"

"Ah--my--house--"

A woman sat on the ground, slapping the ground and crying heartbrokenly.

Several women nearby came forward to comfort her, but they didn't know what to say.

This is their house and all their belongings. No one can leave it without crying.

What does a farmer have? It's just a little bit of land and a house.

"Okay, let's go to whose house you go to stay first today. If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Sun Dazhuang came forward, and the women director of the village also persuaded the family to live with their brothers in the same village, and the villagers went back first.

"Little sister, can you come down?"

An Guoming couldn't put out the fire and kept watching outside. Later, he kept watching his little sister.

"Second brother, I can come down, wait for me."

An Ning sat up slowly. Even though he had the strength, he was still a little tired.

She came down from the room and was supported by Lin Cuihua, and the family went home.

After returning home, Lin Cuihua started nagging.

"As long as you are capable, those older men will have to use you."

Lin Cuihua was nagging and rubbing An Ning's arms.

"This arm will hurt for a few days, let's see how you manage it."

He planned to use his mental power to relieve An Ning, but simply took it back.

It's better to let the pain last for a few days, otherwise I'm a bit too anti-human.

"Okay, if the child does something good, a villager can still watch and not help."

As soon as An Sancheng finished speaking, he received a glare from Lin Cuihua.

"You are the only good person. Day by day, you say good things."

Lin Cuihua snorted and turned around to serve An Ning a meal.

During dinner today, Lin Cuihua went to call An Ning, but she didn't get up after calling twice.

She knew that An Ning was tired, so tired that she couldn't stand it.

She might as well leave the rice out and eat it when she wakes up.

"Eat, then go to sleep when you're full."

An Ning looked at the small basin on the table and asked with a smile: "Mom, have you eaten meat? This is too much."

"If you can't stop your mouth, eat it happily. After eating, go back and rest."

"It's really not tiring."

An Ning has long been used to Lin Cuihua's nagging, and every word she says to An Ning means she feels sorry for her.

An Ning lowered his head to eat.

In the basin are two rice dishes of millet and sorghum, and the vegetables are pork ribs and cabbage.

An Ning ate up the small bowl of rice and vegetables. During the meal, An Ning listened to the conversation of the An Ning family and understood the matter of the fire.

The family that caught fire was also named An. Halfway through cooking, the adults in the family went out, leaving only two children.

The child was playing around and accidentally pulled a burning stick. Without noticing, the spark lit the firewood in the kitchen.

The child panicked and failed to put out the fire in time, causing almost half of the house to burn down.
