The Xia family's courtyard is one of the best in the entire Xitang Street. It faces south and is surrounded by high walls. On the north side of the courtyard is the main house, which is built on a masonry platform and has a hall and three bedrooms.

.To the east is a servant's room and two guest rooms, and to the west is the kitchen. These are brick houses, and there are corridors connecting the houses.

However, the utility room in the south and the hut in the southwest corner are both made of wood. The utility room is not very high, only more than half of the wall.

a little.

In the large open space between the houses in the south and north of the yard, there are still some small puddles because of a heavy rain.

Now, everyone is in the hall, and the arguments are getting louder and louder.

Shuyao rushed into the utility room, pushed open the wooden door at the cellar exit, pushed down the bale of hay that was originally placed on it, then grabbed a handful of hay, lit it on an oil lamp and threw it into the cellar.

Then he lit two handfuls of hay and threw them on the innermost haystack and firewood pile. He quickly exited and "fell" between the hut and the utility room. The oil lamp "just happened" to fall next to the pile of firewood near the door.

on, igniting quickly.

As Shuyao screamed and cried loudly, the people arguing in the hall were shocked to see the raging fire.

Shujie was the first to rush out: "Yao'er, Yao'er", with deep fear in his voice. He had just lost his father and mother, and he only had two brothers and a sister. He could no longer bear the possibility of losing either of them.

"Woooooo, brother, I'm here. Wuwu, brother, I'm afraid..." Shuyao was still lying on the ground crying.

Shujie rushed over and picked up Shuyao, who was covered in mud, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Yaoer is not afraid, big brother is here, so you are not afraid."

The Xia family and the Zhen family were still in a daze facing the fire. Qingfu yelled at them: "Fight the fire, why are you standing there! Chunsheng, just read the book here." After saying that, he ran towards the kitchen.

He opened the well, and not long after he returned home, the neighbors also came over carrying pots and pokemons.

Cuizhu seemed to have just woken up and suddenly screamed: "Uncle and grandma, the cellar, things are in the cellar."

The Zhen family and the Xia family all woke up after this shouting, but they didn't dare to rush in when they saw the fire all over the sky... They were so anxious!

No more, all gone now.

Buckets and buckets of water were thrown at the fire, but it was of no use. The house was made of wood and there were so many hay and firewood inside...

Haha, burn it, burn it quickly, burn everything inside to ashes! Burn those greedy and vicious hearts to ashes! At this moment, Shuyao wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. Seeing her uncle, aunt, and uncle

My uncle’s face looked so painful that it looked like his dead parents, how happy it was!

As the beams and frames of the utility room continued to collapse, the eagerness in the hearts of Zhen Dafu and his wife, Xia Linyu and his son gradually turned cold. The money and precious medicinal materials that were beckoning to them an hour ago were all gone now.

.

Shuyao heard the sound of the clock knocking in the distance. She knew that the time was almost up and the fire would soon be extinguished.

Zhen Dafu suddenly rushed over and raised his hand to hit Shuyao, "You evil deed and prodigal son!"

Shujie held Shuyao in his arms and protected her: "What are you doing? Why do you hit Yao'er? Yao'er didn't mean it, she was scared."

Uncle Li pulled Shujie, who was holding Shuyao, behind him, and the neighbors also gathered around him:

"Such a young child carried an oil lamp to the hut, and the ground is full of bumps. Is it strange that he fell? What were you doing there already?"

"They are still relatives. I don't know what they are arguing about when we come here. No one is supervising the children even when they go to the latrine."

"This burning is also the utility room of Shujie's house. What does it have to do with you? Even if it fails, it won't take away your family's belongings."

"That's right, don't be afraid, Sister Yao. The neighbors will help you build the utility room and thatched hut again. Don't be afraid, good boy!"

…

"Crash--" The pouring rain suddenly fell.

Everyone hurried to the corridors between the houses and the fire was completely extinguished.

Strangely, the downpour seemed to be just to extinguish the fire, and it stopped soon. Zhen Dafu, his wife, and several members of the Xia family hurriedly ran into the ruins. Cuizhu ran to the exit of the cellar. There was a big hole, but unfortunately the ladder was not burned.

It's full of black ashes underneath, and more than half of it has collapsed. You can't dig out anything, right?

When brother Xia Linyu saw the expressions of Cuizhu and Zhen Dafu, they knew that all the valuable things in Xia Linxuan's family were in this cellar, but now, they were all burned down.

In this case, why are they still here? Waiting for money to support these three scoundrels?

"Shujie, take out the title deed of this yard and I will keep it for safekeeping. It's not safe for you three kids to hold it." Xia Linyu shouted to Shujie. This trip can't be in vain. This yard is worth some money, so you can't get it in vain.

to the Zhen family.

Xia Shujie replied coldly: "Five days ago, when I turned fifteen, my mother transferred this courtyard to my name. The government has already registered it. Uncle, it's useless for you to take it." According to the laws of Da Zhou, men who are full of age

Fifteen bundles of hair. After a woman reaches fifteen bundles of hair, she can have her own property in her name. Once registered with the government, even her parents cannot take possession of it.

"Uncle, can we three children come to you if we have no food to eat?" Shuyao looked at Xia Linyu innocently with her big almond-shaped eyes.

"You...you are the scourge, the prodigal." Xia Linyu became angry when he thought of the whole big box of silver and precious medicinal materials that had been burnt by Shu Yao's "fall", "Your father is a bastard to begin with.

You have been separated a long time ago and have nothing to do with our Xia Mansion, so we have no obligation to support you."

"Okay, remember these words, we have nothing to do with you for a long time. If you come to trouble us again, there will be thunder and lightning!" Shuyao said fiercely in a childish voice.

"You bastard," Xia Linyu was about to rush over when two thunders "bang, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble" came down in succession, deafening, louder than the two thunders that woke Shuyao up two hours ago.

Shuyao secretly rejoiced. The time was just right. No, there should be another one. In her previous life, she was frightened by these three thunders. It was said that they were the loudest thunders in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, some people said that several people were killed by lightning that night.

Already.

Shuyao immediately raised her little finger and pointed at Zhen Dafu: "And you, my mother said you are not welcome in our family."

"Little bastard——" Before Zhen Dafu finished cursing, there was another ear-splitting bang, "rumbling", as if it fell on his head.

Xia Linyu and Zhen Dafu were really frightened. Not only them, Lin, Xia Linyu's brother and nephew, and even Cuizhu were frightened. They had never seen such a loud thunder, and it didn't rain even when it thundered.

The fire, the rain, and the thunder just came so strangely. They all shuddered when they thought of Zhen Zirou's coffin still in the hall, and of Shu Yao's vicious words, "The sky is thundering," and "My mother said you are not welcome."

I got goosebumps all over my body and my legs started to feel weak.

There are many people who have been scolded as "struck by lightning from heaven", but no one has ever been hit by lightning, and they were hit so fast, almost as soon as they scolded that stinky girl, they got hit!

The neighbors didn't think there was anything wrong with little Shuyao scolding "It's thundering." There weren't many scholars on this street, and most of them were rough people. Family members were quarreling, neighbors were getting into trouble, and the little boy often scolded her with such words.

When children hear this, they will inevitably imitate it. They have seen children as young as three and four years old scolding others, and they find it amusing and laugh out loud.

However, Xiao Shuyao's scolding was really "level" today, and the God of Thunder really came to help her. Everyone was shocked by the loud thunder, but they were not afraid, and it was not to attack them. This

It's called "If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. If you do something wrong, you won't be afraid of being struck by thunder."
