Yipin Farmer

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year’s festivities reached their climax, and those who played Yangko began to “transfer”. Every time they went to a yard, the family would treat them with delicious food.

Because Tingshuang's family is in the filial piety period, they can't go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings. They have visited Shi Jie and relatives' homes to give New Year's gifts, so they don't go out during the New Year's Eve. They enjoy themselves at home telling stories and playing games.When others see the white Spring Festival couplets on his door, they also consciously don't come to the door, so as not to get bad luck.

Soon it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the county town put on lanterns, and the best martial arts students in the province staged a havoc in heaven in the largest theater in the county. After hearing this, the children couldn't sit still and clamored to play. Li Zheng Li Changfu discussed with the villagers, and decided that Tingshuang and his brothers would take the children to the city to watch the Lantern Festival, watch the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth night, and come back after watching the play on the sixteenth night.

Ting Shuang knew that Uncle Li was watching his family's filial piety, and it was not convenient to go out to play, so she found a chance for them to relax after a year of hard work, and was moved. She immediately patted her chest and promised to bring the children back safely.

The children were going crazy with joy. After watching the lights on the fifteenth day, they were waiting for the big show on the sixteenth night.

Ting Zhi is very quiet and abides by etiquette, insists on keeping filial piety at home, and refuses to go to the city to play, Ting Ke accompanies the Shi family to watch the lanterns, Ting Qiu loves to study, and does not go to play.

On the [-]th day, Tingshuang, Baoqi, Chenguang and Tinghui drove two carts and took a dozen or so children from the village to Huichun Garden to watch a play.

The children's parents paid for the play, and Ting Shuang agreed with the theater owner to add a row of benches in the front row, let the children sit in the front and watch the play, and told them not to run around and scream.

The waiter shuttled between the seats with melon seeds and tea, and the towel handles flew all over the theater, and they were able to throw them accurately on the heads of the guests. , the chaos was very lively, and after the actor came out, there was no sound in the theater.

The gongs and drums sounded, and Monkey King appeared, played by the best martial arts students in the province. The golden cudgel was played like a wheel, and the simplest stunt was to hang the actor with a rope, creating an effect of flying into the sky.

The audience burst into applause, coupled with sonorous gongs and drums, the theater was very lively.

Ting Shuang couldn't even blink her eyes. Is this an ancient stunt show?It turns out that hanging wire is not an invention of foreigners, it has existed on ancient Chinese theaters.The audience in the back row couldn't see the actor's rope hanging, only saw Monkey King descending from the sky and fighting with the heavenly soldiers and generals. The wonderful performance won rounds of applause from the audience.

Baoqi didn't like to watch this kind of martial arts show, she felt that her head hurt from the noise, she couldn't stand the noise and went out for a walk, Chen Guang followed her out, Ting Hui also went out to see the lanterns and beauties on the street, Ting Shuang watched them enthusiastically, and didn't notice that they had gone out.

Suddenly, something was not quite right, as if there was something...

"It's on fire..." A terrified scream came from the pantry.

Others noticed it too, and smelled the burnt smell. Terrified people rushed to the gate, piercing screams, hysterical shouts, and miserable screams, and they could hardly hear what they were shouting.The people in front were trampled down, while the people behind were still pushing forward.

Ting Shuang rushed to the gate with the children, but found that everyone was crowded at the gate, and no one could get out.

If people went out in an orderly manner, there was still time to escape from the theater before the fire was completely burned, but there was a terrible crowding and stampede in the chaos, a large crowd piled up at the door, and the people in front were trampled to the ground , the people behind were still pushing forward, blocking the door tightly.

Ting Shuang was terribly anxious, thinking of the news about the heavy casualties caused by the crowding and stampede he had seen on TV in his previous life, he was so anxious that he went crazy, facing such a chaotic scene, he couldn't think for a while.Regardless, he pushed through the crowd and rushed to the door, shouting: "Everyone, don't crowd, go out one by one, there is still time."

But whoever can hear this, even if they hear it, the survival instinct and the chaotic scene have prevented people's minds from making correct judgments.

Ting Shuang was about to go crazy. In the crowd, he touched something hard on his chest. It was the musket. He was afraid that something unexpected would happen when he took the children back to the village after the play at night, so he secretly carried it with him.Now he didn't care too much, took out his musket and fired a shot into the sky, the huge gunshot shocked everyone.

Ting Shuang stared at the blood-red eyes and roared: "Don't move, I will shoot anyone who squeezes forward first."

People were frightened and stared at him blankly.

"Back up, everyone back up." Ting Shuang burst out with strength that he didn't expect, and threw the people stacked at the door aside one by one. The people who were trampled to the ground and pressed to the bottom were almost suffocated to death. , Ting Shuang grabbed them and threw them out of the door. After a while, the door opened, and people rushed to squeeze out again.

Ting Shuang pointed a gun at the crowded people and shouted: "Don't squeeze, let women and children go out first, hurry up, don't panic, there is time, if everyone is crowded together, no one can get out."

Most of the time, people know what the correct approach is, but they lose their judgment in the panic and confusion. After several men were threatened by him pointing a gun, they had to calm down, judge the situation quickly, and escape the gate in an orderly manner. There is a way of life, so it also helps maintain order.

Ting Shuang fired another shot at the closed window, smashing the carved window sash, and then punched down hard to open the window, creating another escape route.

"Hurry up, don't panic, don't squeeze." Ting Shuang didn't care about her arm being pricked with blood, she guarded the door and pushed the panicked people to the door. People ran out of the door one by one. The speed was much faster, and soon, more than 200 people escaped from the theater.

Ting Shuang was the last one left, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, the girders were crumbling, thick smoke was billowing, and the fire was crackling and burning like a ferocious fire dragon, devouring the largest theater in the county.

"Xiao Shuang..." Baoqi's eyes were red with anxiety. He was watching the lights in the restaurant outside, and found a big fire on the side of the theater, so he ran to this side, but the street was so crowded that people were running around like headless flies. People, soldiers and civilians carrying buckets to fight the fire, mules and horses running around in fright, crowded the market into a mess, and when he finally squeezed in front of him, the fire in the theater was getting bigger and bigger, and it was out of control.

Baoqi tried her best to push through the crowd, shouting until her voice became hoarse.Several times I tried to rush in, but was rushed back by the crowd running out.

There was only a loud noise, and the girders of the theater were burned and smashed down, and then the pillars also fell down, and the theater completely collapsed.

Bao Qi frantically tries to rush into the fire, but Chen Guang holds him tightly.Holding back a few escaped from the theater, the man said that Ting Shuang maintained order in the fire scene when the fire broke out and stayed at the end.

"Xiaoshuang..." Baoqi's voice was hoarse and crying.

Only a rough and hoarse voice shouted: "Xiao Lan, Jiang Liu, Goudan... Where are you?"

The voice was rough and hoarse, unpleasant and unfamiliar, but Bao Qi rushed to the man and hugged him tightly as if listening to fairy music.

Ting Shuang was in a hurry to find Xiaolan and the others, when suddenly she was hugged tightly by a person, feeling the slight trembling of the person's arms holding him tightly, conveying an indescribable panic.Pushing Baoqi away: "Stinky boy, why don't you hurry up and find Xiaolan and the others."

Look at this guy whose hands are shaking with fright, it's boring.Ting Shuang didn't care to despise him, and was anxious to find the children. He vaguely remembered that Jiang Liu carried Xiaolan and ran out after the fire broke out. Now that the street is in such chaos, he doesn't know if the children are safe.

"Don't worry, I'll help you find it." Baoqi hurriedly comforted him, shouting loudly with Chenguang, and after a while, all the children gathered around.Ting Hui, who was looking at the lights on the street and looking at the beauties by the way, also rushed over with Xiao Shuan from Li Dazhu's family.

Ting Shuang counted, and there were quite a few of the fourteen children. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, her feet limp and collapsed on the ground, and Baoqi quickly supported him.

Ting Shuang only felt that all his strength and blood had left his body, and he was exhausted. If so many children died in the fire, how could he have the face to live on? How could he explain to so many parents, how sad these poor parents would be when they lost their children Desperate, now he finally got out of danger, the force he was holding disappeared, and he no longer had the strength to stand up.

Baoqi saw that he was covered in blood and unconscious, so her voice changed in anxiety: "Go to the doctor quickly."

Bao Qi hugged Ting Shuang in her arms and ran all the way out of breath, Chen Guang led the children, Jiang Liu hugged Xiao Lan, and a group of people hurriedly ran to Huichun Hall.

Breathing the cool fresh air, Ting Shuang woke up and found that Bao Qi was hugging her, but she was still hugged by a princess. She felt quite humiliated and struggled to think about it.

"Don't move." Baoqi yelled at him with a dark face.

Damn boy, dare to yell at me.You can just carry me on your back, why are you hugging me like this?Can it be hugged like this?I can't hold you and crush you to death.Ting Shuang was very dissatisfied and had no strength to struggle, so she shrank into his arms as hard as she could, putting her whole body weight on him, trying to crush him to death.

Feeling his movement, Baoqi raised the corners of her lips slightly.

The fire in the opera garden lit up half of the county, and Doctor Gao of Huichun Hall wanted to go to bed early, but he got up from the bed in fright, and quickly asked his apprentice to open the door: "Xiao Liu, open the door quickly, lest someone be injured and seek medical treatment. "

Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door, Baoqi rushed in holding Ting Shuang.Called: "Doctor, you quickly see what happened to him?"

Dr. Gao quickly took Ting Shuang's pulse and said, "Fortunately, it's nothing serious. The injury on the arm is a trauma. Apply some medicine and you'll be fine. It's just that you inhaled the smoke and burned your throat. I'll prescribe some medicine and take it." "

Baoqi said in disbelief, "Really? You have to look again."

Ting Shuang felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, and said, "The doctor said I'm fine, so of course I'm fine, let the doctor see if the children are injured."

The doctor checked the children again, Xiaolan knocked her head and bled, it was nothing serious, just put some medicine to bandage it.Some of the other children had broken knees, some had swollen hands and feet, and some had bruised hands.For the children who climb up and down in the village all day long, this injury is nothing.

Seeing that the children were all right, Ting Shuang was relieved, and seeing Baoqi's face turned pale and sweating profusely, thinking that the street was in a mess just now, maybe this guy was also injured, and said to the doctor: "Doctor, take a look at him again." .”

Dr. Gao also took Baoqi's pulse, and the diagnosis was as follows: "There is no trauma, the heart pulse is unstable, and the blood pulse is pulsating. It is a manifestation of excessive fright. There is no serious problem. You will be hit after drinking some tranquilizing medicine. If you don't want to drink medicine, go back to sleep. It'll be fine."

what rice?Too frightened, too much, right?I was the one who was trapped at the scene of the fire, and I was the one who was in danger of life. How surprised are you?I despise you for not discussing.

Ting Shuang gave someone who was overly frightened a look of contempt.

One after another, many people also came to Huichun Tang for treatment. Some were seriously injured, their chest and abdomen were severely squeezed, and they vomited blood, and some had their arms broken.Doctor Gao and his apprentices kept busy.

Ting Shuang saw that the Huichun Hall was in a hurry, and it was too late, so she took the children to find a hotel to stay, and Baoqi accompanied them.

Lying on the rough bed in the small shop, Ting Shuang was still restless, and suddenly got up from the bed: "Our family's ox cart and Dazhu's donkey cart have not been found yet, so don't lose them. Lose them." But it's miserable, a lot of money..."

Baoqi slapped him back on the bed: "Don't worry about what you have, as long as you come back, Lao Er and Chen Guang have already gone to find Niu."

Ting Shuang closed her eyes, and got up again after a while: "Has the fire been saved?"

Bao Qi pushed him back to the bed again, stretched out her hands and legs to hug him and lay on the bed, saying: "The fire is too big, and even the surrounding restaurants and shops have suffered, but this is none of your business, please rest quickly. "

"You watch the kids and don't let them run around."

"Got it, close your eyes quickly." Bao Qi put her hands on his eyelids. "You're so wordy."

This night, the whole city passed a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Baoqi brought face washing water, twisted the handle of the towel, washed Ting Shuang's face, changed the medicine for his injured hands, and brought steamed buns and porridge.

"Your hand is hurt, I'll feed you." Baoqi took the initiative to take on the job of serving and picked up the porridge.

"It's okay, and it didn't hurt any bones." Ting Shuang was not used to being fed.

Baoqi yelled at him with a dark face: "Don't move, be good to me."

Ting Shuang was not in the mood to eat, and looked left and right: "Where is the second child? Did he get the cow back?"

"Oh, don't worry about the cow."

A servant entered the store, and the boss rushed to meet him.

The officer asked: "I heard that a young man with a group of children stayed with you last night."

The shop owner hurriedly pointed in: "Yes, that's him."

The guard went over and asked again: "You were the one who led a group of children in the theater last night?"

"Yes." Ting Shuang looked at him wonderingly.

"It was you who fired the gun in the theater?"

"Yes." Ting Shuang thought for a moment, guns are controlled items, do you want him to hand them over, oh, I finally fulfilled my dream of playing with guns, and it just turned into a bubble.

But the guard said, "It's the county master who wants you to go there."

"Looking for me?" Ting Shuang pointed to her nose.What will happen to the county leaders looking for him? We are law-abiding and safe citizens. We are very good people. If there is something restless, it is because we met Geng Xianghua from the Queshan Gang and took a musket from him. , accepted his 20 taels of gold, could it be that something happened and he was going to be arrested and jailed?

Oh, God, Jesus Tathagata and Lord Mao, no matter who it is, come and save me, a poor lamb who is about to fall into a cage, I will never play with guns again, and I will never associate with the underworld, okay?
