Siheyuan: At the beginning, you can absorb good luck to stay alive.

Mei Wenhua opened his eyes drowsily, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

Just as he was about to continue covering himself up with the quilt and sleep, there was a sound of a master knocking on the door from outside.

"Bang bang bang!..."

"Daughter-in-law of the Mei family, are you up? Come quickly and carry the bucket to the yard to help put out the fire!"

"Master, we are up, we will be here soon." Mei's mother replied loudly, and the sound of Mei's mother pouring water into the bucket was heard. This was to carry the water out.

Mei Wenhua opened the quilt, quickly put on her cotton coat and shoes and ran out.

"Brother, wait for me!" My sister called Mei Wenhua while holding a bucket of water.

There was more than half a bucket of water in the bucket, but my sister lifted it easily, as if there was no water in it.

It seems that the Dali Pill I took last night was not in vain.

"Sister, do you want some help?"

"No, it's easy!" My sister trotted over carrying a bucket.

The two came to the yard and found that most of the neighbors came out with buckets to help.

Normally everyone might be a bit discordant, but at this time everyone came out. If they didn't come, they would be gossiped about by other neighbors in the yard.

The key is that if the fire gets bigger, it may burn your own house. After all, everyone's houses are connected.

There were two places where the fire broke out, one was the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai's house, and the other was the second eldest uncle Yan Bugui's house.

Good guy!

As soon as Mei Wenhua saw that the fire was caused by the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai's family and the second eldest uncle Yan Bugui's family, he knew that the fire was not an accident, but that someone must have set the fire deliberately.

I don’t know which warrior he was, but he dared to set fire to the homes of the first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Yan Bugui.

These two people are the authorities in the yard. Except for the deaf old lady, generally no one dares to deny them face.

Although Mei Wenhua did not take the first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Yan Bugui seriously, he would not set fire to their house.

With a happy look on her face, the sister carried water to the fire in the uncle's house and poured the water towards the flames.

"Ah! The fire is too big and there is too little water. It can't be put out!" After saying that, he picked up the empty bucket and ran to the well.

Mei Wenhua saw that Mei's mother was also putting out the fire at the first uncle's house and did not go to the third uncle's house.

There were more people at the uncle's house to help put out the fire. After more than ten minutes, the fire was extinguished.

The second uncle Yanbu Gui's house was not so fast. Because there were few people, the fire had already burned to the beams.

"Thank you everyone, the fire here is out. Let's go help the second uncle's house together! Don't let the fire spread!"

"I'm exhausted, I want to rest for a while!" My sister put the bucket on the ground and stood still.

"Yeah, I'm so tired! It's so early in the morning, I haven't had breakfast yet, and I don't have any strength at all!" A neighbor imitated his sister Mei Lan and put the bucket on the ground, gasping for air. , looking really tired.

Mother Mei looked at the situation at the third uncle's house and put down the bucket, not intending to go over to help.

The elders and aunts walked towards them with water. If they saw any sparks, they would immediately put them out with water to prevent them from resurrecting!

Several male neighbors saw that there was no need for help here, so they still carried buckets to help the third uncle's house.

Once there were more people, the fire was quickly controlled and the fire was not allowed to spread.

Half an hour later, the fire at the third uncle's house was also put out.

A fire broke out in the courtyard, and the large amount of thick smoke attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors. Many nearby neighbors came to help with buckets of water.

There were also people who helped to call the people from the street office.

As soon as the fire was put out, Director Wang from the subdistrict office came with two staff members.

When the elder saw Director Wang coming, he immediately came to Director Wang to report regardless of the situation at home.

"Director Wang, good morning!"

"Master! What happened in your yard? Two families caught fire early in the morning, and you two masters took the lead! I asked you to publicize fire prevention, but in the end it was your own house that caught fire first!"

"Director Wang, the publicity in our yard is very good. The fire this morning was not an accidental fire, but someone deliberately set the fire!" The first uncle Yi Zhonghai said angrily.

"Director Wang, you have to make the decision for us. I don't know who has no conscience. He sets fire to people early in the morning. He is burning us alive!" The second uncle came over and said while touching his eyes.

He really shed tears. Both their house and the first man's house were on fire, but their house was burned more seriously and the damage was greater.

We must find the person who set the fire and make him pay double the damages!

"You said that someone set this fire on purpose? This is no joke. If someone sets a fire on purpose, they will go to jail!" Director Wang raised his voice so that everyone in the yard could hear it.

Just look at the expressions of everyone in the courtyard.

"Who is so wicked? He actually set fire! We must catch him and lock him up. Everyone's houses are connected. If we find out too late, everyone's houses will be burned down!"

"It shouldn't be the people in our yard, right? Who would be so stupid as to burn down his own house?"

"Who knows? We must find this person and give everyone an explanation!"

……

Everyone talked about what you said and what you said.

"Director Wang, I am sure that someone set the fire deliberately. Our kitchen is not on the window side. Even if there was an accidental fire, the fire would have started in the kitchen first!" the uncle said, patting his legs.

"Our family has always taken preventive measures. There is no possibility of a fire. The fire started from outside. Someone must have set the fire deliberately!" The second uncle Yan Bugui said firmly.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet!" Director Wang raised his voice and raised his hands to signal everyone to stop talking.

"The first and second uncles both suspect that their home was set on fire. Did anyone see strangers entering our courtyard this morning?"

"I didn't see it!"

"It was early in the morning. We got up when we heard the uncle shouting for help. We didn't see anyone."

"Our family got up early, but we haven't gone out yet. We are preparing to have breakfast! We haven't seen anyone!"

Everyone shook their heads, but no one saw it.

"Okay, I'll give everyone a chance. Who deliberately set the fire? Come forward immediately, admit your mistake, and compensate the first and second uncles for their losses. I won't call the police!"

"If you don't admit it, then I will have to let the police investigate. If they find out, they will not only have to pay compensation for the loss, but they will also go to jail!"

After hearing what Director Wang said, the neighbors in the yard looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.

"Who set the fire? Now that I have a chance to stand up, I am willing not to be held accountable!" Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle, stood up and said, "Set fire to our house means that I did not do my usual job well. This time I only need to compensate The loss to our family is fine. I won’t call the police and won’t let him go to jail. If he doesn’t come out and is found out by the police, then don’t blame me for being merciless!”

"No one can make mistakes without being a sage, and I am willing to give him a chance." The second uncle Yan Bugui also stood up.

But no matter what they said, no one came forward and no one admitted that he set the fire!

"Since no one wants to admit it, let the police investigate!" Director Wang decided not to waste any more time. He still has many things to deal with. It is better to call a professional police to investigate!

"Let the police investigate! It's best to lock him up for a few years before he is willing to continue causing harm to everyone!"

"That's right, it's best to lock him up for a few years, otherwise we'll still worry about our house being set on fire!"

"Let the police investigate. Such a scourge cannot be easily let go, otherwise he will set fire again. This time it was discovered early and it did not spread. What will be the consequences if the fire is not put out in time?"
