Just a quick calculation, you are a fugitive!

"Tick tock, tick tock."

Hu Shiliang slowly raised his head, and then he realized that the originally cloudless sky had a dark cloud at some point. By coincidence, it was sitting on top of their heads.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock!"

Old man Su wiped his face blankly: "Huh?"

"Eh what? Hurry, eat quickly, it's going to rain!" Liu Chunhua was stunned as she spoke.

He looked at Su Chen in surprise.

She had not forgotten what she had brought five old hens for.

Pray for rain...

Isn’t this rain coming?

Su Chen frowned and looked at the lonely dark cloud.

Is it... lagging?

Isn't that too late?

This has been two or three hours.

But considering that the distribution of merit in this world is almost always delayed by a day or two, it seems... understandable.

The villagers behind the scenes also started talking quietly.

"Is this normal rain, or is it just a request?"

"You asked for it, right? I didn't look at it, just this one."

"Then Ah Chen can really pray for rain? That's amazing!"

"Do you even need to tell me? He put out such a huge mountain fire all by himself before the rain came."

…

Liu Chunhua coughed twice.

"Stop talking and eat quickly. If you don't eat, the noodles will get wet in the rain."

Only then did everyone come back to their senses. After finding a place to hide from the rain, they started to eat each other frantically.

Liu Chunhua pulled Su Mao and the others to move the iron pot under the tree, and then wiped her face.

"This rain is really heavy."

Hu Shiliang nodded: "It's unlikely that we can extinguish the mountain fire, but..."

It seems to be of no use now.

He stretched his neck and looked at the bottom of Chentan. There used to be smoke occasionally coming out there, but now the rain poured down and the smoke was gone.

Previously, he was worried that the wildfire might resurge, so he planned to take a few people there to check it out after eating some snacks.

Now……

No need at all.

You can sit back and relax.

Thinking about Hu Shiliang's dark old face, the smile became more genuine, and his movements of lowering his head and grabbing his face became more agile.

Suddenly, A Liang slapped his forehead.

"Hey, look at my brain!"

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Brother-in-law, take everyone back through the ghost road, so you don't have to run? And you don't have to hide from the rain?"

Liu Chunhua and Old Man Su's eyes lit up.

Three minutes later.

The lobby of the Su family's old house was full of people.

When we arrived at the village, we saw almost no raindrops, but everyone didn't want to disperse.

Everyone continued to eat noodles happily, and even shouted to Liu Chunhua to bring out some melon seed candies.

"Take, take, take, wait."

Liu Chunhua simply pulled out the snakeskin bag containing melon seeds and peanut candies.

"If you want to eat, take it yourself."

Anyway, after keeping it for many days, it has become a little damp. I will ask Ah Chen to buy fresh ones for Xiao Xian'er later.

Thinking of Xiao Xian'er, Liu Chunhua went back to the house and searched carefully, but couldn't find it and scratched her head.

"Xian'er isn't going to look for gold for me again, is she?"

Someone was curious: "Chunhua, what are you mumbling about?"

"No!" Liu Chunhua immediately denied it vigilantly, "Um... do you want to wash the dishes? The water tank is here."

She asked casually: "Are you full? If not, I have some rice cakes here. I'll fry them up and eat them together later."

The woman waved her hands repeatedly, and after washing the dishes, she picked up two handfuls of melon seeds and put them aside to eat.

After Hu Shiliang finished eating, he took two people and left with umbrellas.

"You guys chat, and we'll go take a look."

Someone followed with a hatchet.

"I'll go too and pick up some firewood."

What about collecting firewood?

Liu Chunhua curled her lips.

Don’t you want to pick up meat?

She had wanted to let Old Man Su take a share of the pie, but she quickly gave up the idea.

It’s okay to be poor before.

It was a desperate attempt to make the family eat something meaty and oily.

Now that life is getting better, this little thing... should be left to the villagers.

Not long after Hu Shiliang took his people to the bottom of Chentan, he actually found a simple stove set up.

He came back angrily, and before he had time to take a sip of tea to calm down, he went to town.

When Su Chen got up the next morning, he heard Liu Chunhua say that he had caught the bastard who set the fire.

"They are students in the second grade of junior high school. We have a picnic together during the winter vacation. These kids don't know what they are pretending to be. They don't eat big fish and meat at home, so they insist on going to the mountains to cook noodles and go to the place at the bottom of Qingtan..."

"I heard that I suddenly heard a scary sound, and I was so scared that I ran away from the pot. I kicked the dirt a few times before leaving, and then I left after seeing that the fire was extinguished. Hey, how could I know that the fire could be rekindled? ? Let me tell you, we are also unlucky."

Old man Su asked: "How many days will you be detained without arrest?"

"What's the test? There are two good students among them, but they didn't do it intentionally."

Liu Chunhua always has a filter for children with good academic performance. She sighed again as she spoke: "I heard that those children were frightened when they were found. God bless them and their grades will not deteriorate."

Su Chen: "..."

Old Man Su snorted twice: "Even if it was not intentional, it was their mistake. How can they not be held accountable?"

"Why do you care so much? After all, it didn't burn to our village. Everyone is fine, and the house and the ground are fine, isn't that good?"

Su Chen said nothing.

He thought that the hair on Xiao Xian'er's body had almost disappeared and she almost looked like a mouse.

And the frightened animals following behind it.

That was the lucky one rescued by Xiaoxianer. Many more had already died in the fire.

"Mom and Dad, go out for a while."

Su Chen said to the two of them, and his figure slowly disappeared.

Liu Chunhua frowned: "It's almost dark, why are you still going out?"

She looked at Old Man Su, who shook his head blankly.

"Forget it, never mind him. What do you want to eat tonight, old man? Rice cake?"

"You have to eat it even if you don't want to. Aren't you already cutting it?"

...

Niugang Mountain.

The foot of the mountain.

Su Chen really found Xiaoxianer lying on the stone with grievance here.

There were several small animals lying around the stone to rest.

Sensing his breath, Xiaoxianer subconsciously flicked his tail, and then stayed there.

"Squeak~" It scratched its bald tail and lay down weakly.

It was not until Su Chen placed the newly bought hot melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts and walnuts on the stone that it regained its spirits.

"Squeak~"

While stuffing pine nuts into her mouth, Xiaoxian'er pulled her thin belly with her claws.

"See, I'm thinner, skinny." Su Chen joked, "Did you break a bone this time?"

"Squeak!" Xiaoxian'er put her hands on her waist and swung her tail wildly, "No, I'm awesome!"

"Yes, yes, it's awesome, I saved so many people." Su Chen gave her a thumbs up.

Then he told her the cause of the wildfire, and finally asked, "Are you familiar with the place at the bottom of Chentan? Do you know what made that sound?"

Xiaoxian'er shook her head.

"There are few people there, so I hid some fruits there."

When it mentioned this, it felt very aggrieved.

"The fruits are all black~"

It's not delicious.

"I think you should worry about your fur first. Aren't you cold without fur?"

Xiaoxian'er heard this and quickly jumped into the plastic bag: "I'm hiding in the fruits, so I'm not cold!"

Su Chen took out a fluffy scarf while laughing.

"Here, take it."

"If you don't want to go back to my house, take the scarf and wrap it around you to block the wind."

Xiao Xian'er poked her head out from the pile of peanuts: "Squeak~"
