I feed my beasts by farming

Chapter 18 The Arsonist

Ruosheng had been wandering in the woods for a few days, and he was already starving.Waiting for Xie Guanlan to serve him hot steamed buns and sweet potatoes, Ruosheng ate them without hesitation of burning his mouth.

Xie Guanlan on the side looked at the wolfish little fox and sighed inwardly. He tilted his head and stretched out his hand to run along the smooth hair of the little fox, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although the return of the little fox made Xie Guanlan very happy, but thinking of the stove house that had half of the wall burnt down, Xie Guanlan felt as if a stone was blocked in his heart, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, although he had no relatives .

However, my uncle's house and my aunt's house had to move around.It's just that Xie Guanlan is not the kind of person who waits for a good face, but when the guests come, there is no place to cook and cook. Thinking about it, Xie Guanlan feels that his head is going to be a big worry.

At this time, it was less than two hours before dawn.But after tossing and tossing for so long, Xie Guanlan was extremely tired.After the little fox finished eating, Xie Guanlan gave him a few words and got up to sleep.

Just when Xie Guanlan was about to fall asleep in a daze, he felt a sudden heaviness in his chest.Xie Guanlan opened his eyes, and saw the little guy who jumped onto his chest was staring at him innocently.

"Aren't you asleep?"

Hearing the childish voice of the little fox, Xie Guanlan felt speechless for a while.

He wanted to fall asleep, but he couldn't stand the little thing tossing about like this.Fortunately, this guy is not big and not very heavy, otherwise, half of his old life would be crushed by him in this jump.

"Why don't you go to sleep? Haven't you eaten yet?"

Ruosheng squatted on Xie Guanlan's chest and watched him condescendingly. He shook his head slightly and said nothing. The big tail hanging behind him shook his head and seemed not very happy.

Seeing him like this, Xie Guanlan raised his hand and grabbed the little guy into the bed, and put the little fox in his arms like a baby in the past.

"Why are you unhappy? Is there something on your mind?"

Hearing Xie Guanlan's soft voice, Ruosheng slowly relaxed.Gently holding Xie Guanlan's arm with two front paws, he said in a low voice, "I've been searching in the woods for several days, but I can't find the way back to Mount Chongwu. If I really can't go back What should I do? My father and mother will die in a hurry."

Ruosheng's words made the corners of Xie Guanlan's raised mouth slowly sink. Thinking of his relatives far away in another world, Xie Guanlan empathized with the little fox and brought the little fox into his arms again.

"I will go back. If I really can't go back, I will be there. The two of us just happen to be companions."

The little fox listened to Xie Guanlan's words and did not speak. Yuanyuan's head rubbed against Xie Guanlan's jaw, and then squeezed into his arms.

"Go to sleep, there are still many things to do in the morning."

After Xie Guanlan's words fell, Ruosheng responded softly, then leaned on Xie Guanlan's arm and closed his eyes.

……

When Xie Guanlan woke up, the time had already passed.Looking down at Zhengxiang's ball of wool sleeping in his arms, Xie Guanlan gently put the little thing down, turned over and got out of bed.

The sky was very gloomy today, Xie Guanlan came to the burnt-out kitchen.Looking at the burnt black wall, Xie Guanlan sighed, picked up the pole and bucket standing by the wall and walked out the door.

At this time, the Spring Festival is only a few days away, and some people have already started preparing things for the New Year.Xie Guanlan came to the well with a bucket, and saw that the people who were washing vegetables and laundry did not speak, but nodded slightly to them as a greeting.

The people in Dayan Village were used to Xie Guanlan's silence, and they didn't mean to blame him when they saw him like this.Instead, thinking about what happened last night, I couldn't help feeling a faint sympathy in my heart.

After Xie Guanlan left with a half-bucket of water, the busy people by the well gathered their heads together and started discussing in low voices.

"It's really hard to say these three boys. Parents passed away long ago, and there is also Boss Xie's family who took advantage of it. I see, the person who set fire to the three boys' house yesterday is Boss Xie. .”

"That's hard to say. Boss Xie is the uncle of the third boy no matter what. If the house of the third boy is really burnt down, he will still have to rely on his uncle to help? Besides, the third boy is coming soon to talk about his daughter-in-law. My son is getting old, Boss Xie is going crazy to take care of the third boy."

The lady doing laundry at the side nodded as if pecking at rice after listening to the other party's words.

"I think so too. However, the elders and his family are not the only ones in the village who don't like the third boy. Well, isn't that family's children still bullying the third boy?"

The lady who did the laundry pouted at Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law who came over with the bucket, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

The person who originally wanted to answer her words looked up and saw Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law who was getting closer, and elbowed the person next to her.He raised his head and greeted Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law with a smile like a flower, and after the person left with the bucket, he coughed and said to everyone in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, I heard that Tie Zhu's wife is in her mother's house. At that time, I was used to being aggressive in the village because of my many brothers. It was only after I married Tie Zhu that I changed my temper a little. If she heard us whispering about her behind her back, she would probably jump up and curse. "

The young daughter-in-law at the side curled her lips when she heard the words, but she didn't speak again. She wrung out the clean clothes vigorously, greeted several people, and went home with a wooden basin.

Xie Guanlan didn't have much strength, and after carrying half a bucket of water on his shoulders, his speed became even slower.The words of the women in the village were more or less heard. Hearing that everyone in the village was suspicious of Boss Xie and Tie Zhu's family who had a feud with him, Xie Guanlan couldn't help sighing.

When I looked up and wanted to take a few steps to hurry home, there was a half-sized man in gray cotton-padded clothes and trousers standing beside the haystack by the roadside.Seeing Xie Guanlan jumping over the bucket, the man immediately backed away.Even though the half-children hid quickly, Xie Guanlan still recognized him as Lu Xingwang.

Xie Guanlan came to fetch water when he got up in the morning, and now his stomach is very empty.In addition, there is a little thing sleeping on the bed at home, so naturally I am not in the mood to play peek-a-boo with him here.

However, Xie Guanlan ignored Lu Xingwang, but Lu Xingwang slowly walked out from behind the haystack, and followed Xie Guanlan not far or near, with his head down and his hands in his hands, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After Xie Guanlan returned home with water, Lu Xingwang stood in front of his door, looking through the half-open door at the burnt kitchen in the yard, with a flash of guilt in his eyes.

Just when Lu Xingwang turned around to leave, the dilapidated door in front of him was suddenly pulled open from inside.Lu Xingwang subconsciously turned around and wanted to escape, but was given a word from the other party to stay where he was.

"What? Set fire to my house, do you want to leave without an apology?"

Lu Xingwang looked at Xie Guanlan in astonishment, fell silent for a moment, and asked, "Why do you say that I set fire to your yard? What if it's someone who has a grudge against you?"

Xie Guanlan couldn't help laughing at Lu Xingwang's words. He walked out of the courtyard and came to Lu Xingwang's side. While sizing him up, he replied, "In the middle of the night, when others didn't pay attention, I saw your hand and There are black soot marks under the placket."

The guess in Xie Guanlan's mind gradually became more and more certain as Lu Xingwang's face became paler and paler, but looking at Lu Xingwang's expression, Xie Guanlan did not soften his heart at all.If he hadn't set the fire, his own stove house would not have been burned.

"When my house was on fire, basically everyone in the village was sleeping. You wouldn't tell me that you were still cooking?"

Glancing at Lu Xingwang who was biting his lower lip anxiously, Xie Guanlan said curiously: "One of our two families is in the west of the village and the other is in the east of the village. There is no enmity between us. Why on earth did you set fire to our stove house? "

"I didn't burn your stove on purpose!" After Lu Xingwang said this, he seemed to relax a lot.The head, which was almost lowered to the chest, slowly lifted up.

"I just wanted to burn your woodpile. Unexpectedly, the strong wind at night burned the thatch on the roof of your stove. I saw the fire and wanted to put it out, but when I heard footsteps outside, I wanted to put it out." I was scared, so..."

Therefore, Lu Xingwang ran away over the wall, allowing the fire to spread to Xie Guanlan's kitchen.

"Why? Why did you burn my stove? I don't think I offended you."

Hearing this, Lu Xingwang slowly shook his head.

"I want to teach Xie Mingfeng and Daniel a lesson."

What Lu Xingwang said made Xie Guanlan dumbfounded, and almost laughed out of anger.

Although he and Xie Mingfeng are cousins, the two of them can be regarded as well watered, which is well known in the village.He, Lu Xingwang, wanted to teach Xie Mingfeng and Daniel a lesson, so he set fire to Xie Guanlan's house, which was extremely funny.

However, before Xie Guanlan could sneer, the expression on his face froze.Because when he had a conflict with Daniu and Xie Xing'er by the well, the old village chief once said that if someone troubled him again, no matter whether it was done by Boss Xie and Tie Zhu's family, they would assume that it was theirs. for.

If Lu Xingwang had been present at that time, it would not be surprising that he would use such a crooked mind.

"Why did you blame Xie Mingfeng and Daniel? They also bullied you?!"

Hearing Xie Guanlan's words, Lu Xingwang's eyes immediately turned red, and he bowed his head to Xie Guanlan and nodded fiercely.

"Because our family is poor, my father's legs and feet are not good. When they saw me, they scolded me and laughed at me. I was a wild child with a mother but no mother. I couldn't beat them, and I couldn't get angry for a while..."

He also heard Li Dashan talk about Lu Xingwang last night. Originally, Xie Guanlan only thought that those brats only took pleasure in bullying him, but they would even bully other people in the village before they arrived...

Seeing Xie Guanlan frowning and not speaking, Lu Xingwang gradually became afraid.He reached out and grabbed Xie Guanlan's sleeve, crying and begging: "Please don't tell my father, he is not in good health, he will definitely be angry if he knows that I have done such a thing. You can beat me and scold me, I will I can also help you with work, as long as you don't tell my father, you can ask me to do anything."

Lu Xingwang saw that Xie Guanlan's brows became even tighter, and he was about to kneel down while pulling his arm.However, at this moment, a snow-white hairball rushed out of the yard like lightning, stretched out its claws and scratched at Lu Xingwang.

"You are not allowed to bully him!"
