Wan He, who was not far away, wanted to block the beam of fire for Wan Niuniu, but he was a disabled person, and he couldn't move at all in the lightning fire.

Too late!

As for Wan Jiang, Wan Hu, and Wan Hai, they were still in the Liu family next door, being suppressed and beaten by the Liu family!

Wan Niuniu was hit by the fire beam and fell to the ground.

The villagers reacted, carrying buckets of water, and poured water on the place where she fell.

When the fire in Huoliang was extinguished, everyone rushed to help her.

Some people went to help Wan Niuniu, and some people came to see Jiang Mingyue's condition.

Jiang Mingyue's face was now black and gray, she was coughing non-stop, and her hair was as messy as a chicken coop.

The idiot put her on the ground and she gasped for fresh air.

The big fool was fighting the flames on his body nearby. His hair and clothes were on fire, and his hands were blistered by the sparks. It was shocking and terrifying to watch.

Mrs. Liu directed the Liu family to pour water on the idiot, "Quick, hurry up, why are you standing there? Pour water on the idiot! Help him put out the fire, put out the fire..."

"You idiot, you are really stupid. You don't care about your life. You rush in. It's not good to save anyone. Save Jiang. She is Wan Jieye's daughter-in-law, and she belongs to the Wan family. The Wan family hates her to death. Save her, do you? Brain?"

"I'm so angry! You're a disgrace, you're burned and crippled, I don't have the money to treat you..."

The big fool looked at Granny Liu and laughed.

Mrs. Liu was both angry and inexplicably proud of herself. The idiot saved Jiang's life as a sign of good deeds. Her adopted son was so powerful.

After a while, the fire on the big fool was extinguished.

Someone asked Jiang Mingyue, "Ms. Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Mingyue looked dizzy. "I'm okay. Fortunately, the idiot saved me..."

Everyone is relieved.

Mrs. Liu spat at her, "You, the Wan family, have to give our idiot a longevity card, do you know? Without him, your life would be gone today!"

Jiang Mingyue's face was black and gray, her hair was messy, and her clothes were burned with big and small holes.

He looked very embarrassed, but not injured.

She wiped the black ash from her face and said, "Thank you, you idiot, for saving your life."

The villagers said to the side one after another, "Mr. Jiang is also considered to be a lucky person. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune in the future."

"No, she wasn't sold by a few brats, and she wasn't burned to death even in such a big fire..."

At this time, the folks over there screamed.

"Niuniu was hit by a beam of fire and fainted. Call her doctor!"

"This girl had a hole in her forehead and she bled a lot. I'm afraid she won't be able to recover in the future..."

The crowd shouted that Jiang Mingyue was fine, and everyone gathered around Wan Niuniu.

People from the entire Wanjia Village had gathered together at this moment. Old Uncle Li Zheng took the lead in putting out the fire, each carrying a bucket of water. There was strength in numbers.

After a long night of turmoil, the Wan family fire was finally put out.

***

Stone Bridge Town, in the prison cell.

It is simple, leaky from all sides, and usually does not hold many people, but now it is packed with people.

They were all people who hid food in their homes and were arrested.

Inside the prison, there were cries and cries of injustice.

Everyone was sad and anxious. Many of them were honest people who had never been to jail or entered a government office in their lives. But when they were suddenly arrested, they were so frightened that they lost their souls and cried day and night. .

Amidst all the crying, Wan Jieye, who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and concentrating, seemed particularly different.

People who can still remain stable under such circumstances are admirable and awe-inspiring.

Many people wanted to chat with him, but Wan Jingye ignored them all.

I don't have this intention.

Suddenly, a prison boss came outside to call for help.

"Wan Jingye! Come out for a moment."

Wan Jieye stood up calmly and walked out of the cell. Everyone looked at him with envy.

Wan Jingye didn't ask anything and just followed the official.

Went to a backyard of the Yamen.

The officers and soldiers sent by the county live here.

Entering the largest main hall in the courtyard, a smiling man dressed as a scribe greeted Wan Jingye.

A brief self-introduction.

As soon as the cell boss called him to come, he had a rough guess in his mind.

Wan Jingye returned the gift.

"...I have met the adults..."

That person was the master from the county government office who had been here with the county magistrate last time.

The master smiled and said, "We are getting ready to return to the county town. The food search mission is almost completed. We are ready to set off. I wanted you to escort me for a while. But I heard that you ran into some trouble and was imprisoned. Why are you so confused? , It’s not like your style, you can also commit such low-level problems, but have you been framed? "

Wan Jingye said, "No, it's a villain who knows the law and breaks it."

The master continued, "It's understandable. You have several half-year-old children at home and a newly married wife. The whole family needs to eat. I understand! I understand! I can help you solve the food problem, and your family can also I can help you settle in, as long as you agree to the proposal made by the county magistrate last time, what do you think?"

Wan Jieye remained silent.

The master said sincerely, "Wan Jingye, the county magistrate appreciates that you are a talented person. The anti-rebellion army is about to pass through our Jinshui County. This is your last chance. If you have made great contributions in this anti-rebellion army, what do you want?" No? Do you still need to suffer from such cowardice?"

Wan Jingye said calmly, "Sir, there is no need to say anything! I am a young man with little talent and little knowledge, so I don't deserve the trust of the county magistrate. In the past, I just want to work hard in farming in my hometown and raise a few children. This life is enough."

The master wanted to persuade him again, "Wan Jingye, why do you, a talented person like you, stay in a small mountain village and become a farmer?"

"Sir, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind. I will go all out to escort the food today. I won't say much else. Everyone has his or her own ambitions."

Wan Jingye's oil and salt will not invade.

The county master could only forget it.

Wan Jingye had a kindness to their county magistrate before, so when he went to ask the county magistrate for help in making a living, the county magistrate immediately met his needs without saying a word.

The county magistrate repaid this favor, and the kindness between him and Wan Jingye was cleared.

But he still wanted to support him, and the quelling army passed by Jinshui County. If Jinshui County not only produces food, but also produces talents, then the credit of the county magistrate will be doubled.

It's a pity that Wan Jingye cannot be invited.

I already have some grudges in my heart.

When he came this time, he actually wanted to invite him again. As long as he was willing to come out again, anything could be said.

Wan Jingye was a capable man in leading troops and fighting in the past. His reputation spread in the capital. He was a little famous, but he was from a low background and had a low official position. The county magistrate admired him very much, so he never forgot him.

Unfortunately, this man is determined.

Don't go if you don't say it.

I'd rather go to jail than go to jail.

The master didn't want to talk too much, "Okay! I'll bother you then! Send the grain safely to Jinshui County. Your sin of hiding grain can be offset and you can atone for your sin."

Wan Jingye nodded, "Thank you, sir."

He now discovered that maybe the person who caused him to hide the food was not necessarily the Liu family.

It is also very possible that this master did it.

In order to get him out of the mountain, the master deliberately put him in a cell and released him from prison to make people grateful. Maybe he agreed because of his kindness?

It's a pity that he has already made up his mind and there is no way he can agree.

It can only make them waste their efforts.
