Chapter 27: Irretrievable
Secretary Jiang beat gongs and drums for a while, calling most of the men in the village to fight the fire.
The Qu family's house was already shrouded in flames, and there was no value in saving it.
However, the forest area is large, and there is only one fire point, which can be saved, so everyone rushed directly to the forest.
"Brother Li, you put out the fire, try to lean forward as much as possible, and beat it with the snow on the branches.
Lao Zhou, you and I will take people to quickly cut down all the trees around us, clear out the isolation belt, and don't let the fire spread to other places. ”
Secretary Jiang also rushed to the scene and personally commanded the firefighting.
According to Secretary Jiang's instructions, some people approached the fire to put out the fire, while others cut trees around and cut out the isolation zone as much as possible to prevent the fire from spreading.
"Brother and sister, what are you doing here? Hurry back.
You can't help a woman's house, so go back and look around your house, and watch the fire, but don't burn it to other people's houses. ”
Secretary Jiang was leading people to cut down trees, and when he turned around, he saw Qiaolian standing next to him, looking at the fire in a daze.
Secretary Jiang was frightened and hurriedly pulled Qiao Lian aside, for fear that Qiao Lian would not be able to think about it, and it would be bad if she got into the fire.
"Brother and sister, listen to me, don't be afraid if the house burns, I'll lead someone to build it for you again in the spring of next year, it doesn't matter if the forest is there, let's plant trees again next year."
You have two children, you can't be cranky.
The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself, feed your children well, and the rest of the things, the village will help you find a way. Secretary Jiang shouted loudly with Qiaolian in his arms.
When Qiao Lian heard this, she knew that they had misunderstood, "Secretary, I won't seek death."
I'm not so narrow-minded, and if I did, I don't know how many times I'd die. I'm just here to see and see my woods. ”
When Qiao Lian spoke, she was distressed and was about to drip blood, and this autumn, the production in the forest was exchanged for more than 30,000 points.
For her, it is simply a treasure land for making money, but now it has become a sea of fire, how can she not feel distressed?
"Okay, since you don't plan to die, you can go back and take care of the child.
The cause of the fire will be found out in the village, rest assured. If someone deliberately sets the fire, the village will surely catch someone and avenge you. ”
Secretary Jiang was very sensitive to the fact that tonight's events were particularly strange.
The house is on fire, and it can be said that Qiaolian burned the fire without paying attention, but the fire in this forest was by no means an accident, someone must have set it on fire.
What is it? Is this someone who has a grudge against Qiao Lian and deliberately retaliates?
Or are the reactionaries deliberately setting fires to disturb public order and social peace? This is not a trivial matter, and it must be strictly investigated.
"Secretary, then I'll leave it to you here." Qiao Lian didn't know what it was like in her heart at the moment, and as soon as the words came out, tears fell down her eyes.
Since she came here, she hasn't been idle, she has been slandered and bullied, and now she doesn't even have a place to live, and the forest she depends on is gone, what is left of her?
Why is this happening? Who the hell did she offend? People hate her so much, they have to put her to death?
However, no matter how her heart breaks down at the moment, she can't fall because she still has two children to take care of.
Qiao Lian gritted her teeth, turned around and came down from the mountain, looking at the raging fire in her house.
Around the house, the women of the Li family, the Hu family, the Wang family, and the Qin family were all holding things in their hands, for fear that a spark would fly up and fall elsewhere.
Qiao Lian still couldn't hold back, and tears fell again.
"Several sisters-in-law, younger siblings, nieces and daughters-in-law, I have been burdening you, and I am here at night."
Qiao Lian bowed down to everyone, which was regarded as an apology.
"Brother and sister, what did you say? It's not your own pleasure that the house fires, but you're the ones who suffer the most.
Alas, fortunately, we don't live close, a little far away, and the fire can't run away from other people's homes.
We're here to prevent accidents. Sister-in-law Li hurriedly persuaded.
In those days, the population was sparse, and every household was not close to each other.
Especially Shijiagou, there are only four or five families living in it, and it is relatively far away, so although the fire in the Qu family is very strong, it cannot spread to other places.
It's just that the Qu family was really destroyed this time, not only the house was burned, but even the warehouse and the shed outside were all implicated, and they were all turned into ashes.
"Brother and sister, don't be sad, no one expected such a thing to happen.
You and the children will live in my house for the time being, waiting for the spring of the next year, the big guy will help you, and then build the house, and we will live the same life. ”
Sister-in-law Li was afraid that Qiaolian wouldn't be able to think about it, so she comforted her vigorously.
Qiao Lian didn't reply, her mind was blank at the moment, and she couldn't think of what to do in the future.
The house burned, and their mother and son had no place to stay, so the neighbors could borrow it for a few days, but how could they live for months and half a year?
Li's house is not spacious, where is she always living in other people's homes to disturb?
At this moment, the only thing Qiao Lian is happy about is that the food at home is basically stored in the system warehouse.
If there were still warehouses as before, this fire would be gone, and the situation of their mother and son would be even worse.
Fortunately, the cellar of Tibetan vegetables is far away from the house, so it should not be affected.
There is food, vegetables, and a system, and it is not a desperate situation, as long as you can find a place to live, you can always live your life again.
She is by no means a person who can be defeated easily, so that she will not let the bad people secretly please her.
Everyone just stood guard outside, from midnight until dawn, and the Qu family's house finally burned down, leaving only a piece of ashes.
Half of the forests on the mountain were burned, and the rest were cut down, which was basically destroyed.
Qiao Lian has nothing to complain about this result.
If Secretary Jiang hadn't decided to cut the isolation zone immediately, he was afraid that the fire would spread to other places, and if it had caused other people's forests to be burned, Qiaolian would have to compensate for the losses of others.
Now although her own forest is almost completely destroyed, it has not affected others, and Qiao Lian is finally more down-to-earth.
"Thank you, old and young masters, I can't thank you for anything, I owe a favor to the big guy."
Qiao Lian bowed deeply to the gray-faced men who came down from the mountain, and thanked them very sincerely.
"Brother and sister, look at you, why are you still so polite? It's not your business alone, it's our village's business.
We're not just at you, but also at Viyan, we're buddies with Viyan.
Something like this happened in his house, can we watch the excitement from the sidelines? "It was a man of twenty-four or five years old, named Tie Zhu.
used to have a very good relationship with Qiaolian's husband Qu Weiyang, iron buddies, when the old couple of the Qu family passed away, they helped a lot.
As soon as Tie Zhu spoke, the other five or six young men also spoke, this one calling his younger brother and the other calling his sister-in-law, all came to persuade Qiaolian.
Secretary Jiang also walked over, "Brother and sister of the Qu family, this fire in your family is a little strange, tell me, how did you find out?" ”
