When it was hazy, many people were so tired that they sat directly on the ground, and the eaves after the fire had burned to the black charcoal frame. It is not difficult to imagine what the person stayed inside had.

It was fine when Tongshan came down one night. She picked up the wooden barrel beside her, looked at Ye Kaixia who was tired of being stuck on the ground, and said lightly: "Changqiu and I are back first, do you want to be together?"

He glanced at the handsome young man sitting next to the trunk not far away. Unlike the others, he looked as clean and spotless as he was when he came.

"You guys go back first, I will go back with my mother later." Ye Kaixia wiped the charcoal ash from her face, tilted her head and looked at Ye Shi, who was talking to the village chief not far away.

Tongshan nodded and walked towards the boy with a wooden barrel.

At this moment, Ye Changqiu was sleeping with his eyes closed, and the hazy morning light shone on his face. His carved facial features were slightly pale, so delicate that it made people feel a little unreal.

Ye Changqiu, who was sleeping, was still very sensitive to his senses. He heard the footsteps slowly approaching him. His eyes slightly opened, and when he saw the familiar upper, he raised his head.

"Are you okay?"

The boy's tone was relaxed as if he was asking her "Is this dish ready?" and he did not have any sense of depression after a fire.

Somehow Tong Shan suddenly remembered the smiley face he misjudged when he was putting out the fire last night. She nodded and replied: "Well, let's go back."

She didn't have to worry about the rest. Tong Shan reached out and helped the person up. When the boy stood up and staggered, he half hugged him, looked at him with a worried look: "Can you stand firm?"

Ye Changqiu held the woman's clothes tightly with both hands and snuggled in her arms. Her cold eyes raised and she complained to her with some grievance: "Sitting on this grass all night, my legs were numb..."

Looking at his aggrieved look, Tong Shan sighed helplessly. He advised him several times last night and asked him to go back first, but he just didn't listen. Now that his legs are numb, who can blame him?

In the boy's gaze with a faint hope, Tong Shan squatted down with his back to him: "Come up, I'll carry you back."

Looking at the woman's back, Ye Changqiu couldn't suppress the sweet smile on her lips, and did not rub it. He obediently lay on her back. He saw the charcoal ash on the side of the woman's face, and he reached out to help him wipe it off.

Tong Shan scratched his slightly itchy face, held the boy's legs with his arm, stood up from the ground, looked back at the mess that was still emitting smoke and the villagers gathered together to discuss. She bent down slightly and pushed the boy on his back and walked home.

This was the second time Ashan carried him on his back. It was completely different from the first time. Ye Changqiu put his face on the woman's shoulder and felt unprecedented satisfaction and comfort. He couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably, just like a cat who was lazily yawned, and slowly fell asleep with the woman's steady pace.

Hearing the even breathing sound in his ears, Tongshan's walking movements were a little lighter. After arriving at home, she carefully placed the sleeping person on the bed. During this period, he opened his eyes, looked at her and fell asleep again.

She helped him take off his coat and cover it with a thin quilt. Tong Shan gently walked out of the bedroom. She patted the charcoal ash on her body and hair, and planned to take a shower first.

When he came out after taking a shower, Guan had already cooked the porridge and put it on the table in the yard. When he saw her coming out, he frowned and asked worriedly: "What happened? Why didn't you come back all night?"

Tong Shan wiped his hair with a dry coarse cloth and shook his head at him to show him not to worry. He sat at the table and drank two bowls of porridge and water before wiping his mouth and said, "Last night, the Xu family caught fire for no reason, so we just went to put out the fire."

"Crash?" Hearing such a big deal, Guan Shi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "The Xu family is..."

Could it be the Xu family he was thinking about?

"It's the family who came to our house to make trouble last time." Tong Shan said.

It's really them!

"This... people are fine?" Although Guan didn't like that family, he even remembered what happened by the river that day, but one code was one code, such a big thing, of course, the most important thing is the safety of people.

Tong Shan still shook his head: "I don't know, I heard them say... the scholar was still inside at that time."

She forgot what the man was named, but recently she heard that they all called her Xu Xiucai, so she followed her.

Guan often visits the village, so he naturally knows who Xu Xiucai is referring to. When his daughter says this, he feels a little panicked. It is not because he is worried about the family, but because he is just a fear of the disappearance of life.

"Why did this catch fire?"

Although I didn't come to see it, so many people tried to put out the fire and saved it until dawn. I could tell how big the fire was. Such a big fireman was still inside, so how could he survive here?

Tong Shan shook his head and was silent. She just participated in putting out the fire. She didn't know anything else and didn't want to inquire. After all, the two families themselves have no intersection, and she is not the kind of curious person.

This incident happened in the village and did not affect Tongshan too much. She just didn't sleep all night and felt a little tired. After washing her face, she still went to the restaurant on time.

When I came back from the town at noon, I happened to meet Village Chief Liu who came to look for her. Tong Shan was slightly stunned and vaguely knew that she was here for the fire of the Xu family.

I thought she was going to ask something, but Tong Shan sat in a stern face, but she quipped her arm.

"It's nothing important. I'm just responsible for every household today." Liucun Township sighed regretfully: "Although the children of the Xu family are a little proud on weekdays, they have indeed won't be able to eat enough for our village. After all, we ordinary people are not able to eat enough now, and it's already great to be admitted to the scholar."

It is indeed a happy event to be proud of a scholar in a village, not to mention that Yun Zhen's child is still far away, so maybe he can get into a juren in the future or something.

Tong Shan put his hands on his knees with his regular hands, pursing his lips without saying a word. From Village Chief Liu's expression and words, he knew that Xu Xiucai might have encountered an unexpected situation.

Village Chief Liu continued to regret: "What a pity, I encountered such a disaster before I was admitted to the scholar before I was admitted to the scholar. But what's even more pitiful is Xu Yunzhen's parents. They finally raised this child so old, and they were about to make a fortune, and this happened... "

Tong Shan listened carefully to the village chief's sighs, although he felt a little regretful, but his ups and downs were not big. She was even more curious about what Village Chief Liu came here, and it should not be just to tell her about these things.

After sighing for a long time, Village Chief Liu finally began to talk about the serious matter: "Actually, I have nothing else to do here today, I just come and see if there aren't many people in your family."

Um?

Tong Shan was stunned and said in confusion: "Why did the village chief ask this?"

Village Chief Liu swept around her yard and continued: "When we were searching, we found not only her body in Xu Yunzhen's bedroom, but there was also a body next to her. I don't know who it was."

"Two corpses?" Tong Shan frowned.

Village Chief Liu nodded and remembered the two charred corpses in the ruins that day. They could no longer see their faces. However, the Xu family had only three people, and the two were fine. Apart from one Xu Yunzhen and the other corpse, they could not tell who it was.

"I suspect that the other one is the arsonist, but somehow he couldn't escape." Village Chief Liu frowned and told her his guess carefully.

There had never been such a thing in the village before. Everyone got along well with each other. She couldn't think of who had such a big grudge against the Xu family, and she was willing to die together.

Tong Shan didn't expect that there were people who set fire. He thought it was just an accident, but everything was fine and had nothing to do with their home. She pointed to the closed bedroom door and said to Village Chief Liu: "Changqiu is sleeping in the room, and my father has just gone to find Uncle A Dan."

Village Chief Liu nodded. In fact, before coming, he knew that it was impossible that it was the person here. He just followed the convention and asked from door to door.

She stood up and was about to continue asking the next house. As soon as she reached the door, she suddenly remembered and turned around and said to Tongshan who came to see her, "By the way, Tongshan, in two days, you can see if you have free time and help carry the coffin. According to the rules in our village, younger people are responsible for carrying the coffin and burying it. You are taller and stronger. If you have free time, go and help."

"When?" Tong Shan asked.

"I don't know this yet. I'll come over to talk to you after the decision is made. Then I'll call a few more young people at that time." It probably won't go so smoothly. Before I figured out how this happened, Xu Yunzhen's parents probably won't give up easily.

There are still many families who haven't asked about it now, so they can't waste time, so they have to go quickly. After Village Chief Liu agreed at Detong Mountain, he left the Tong family and continued to go to other families.

Watching people walk away, Tong Shan stood at the door for a long time. When he turned around and was about to go back to the house, he happened to see Ye Kaixia who was looking for him. His tight face relaxed slightly, and he curled his lips: "Why are you here?"

Ye Kaixia seemed a little listless when she walked. When she walked to her, she suddenly leaned over and said mysteriously: "I tell you that the fire in the Xu family may be artificial."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and raised his chin with some smugness: "Do you know how I know?"

Tong Shan pursed his lips and shook his head in cooperation.

Ye Kaixia was excited: "I helped search for the body. When I flipped into Xu Yunzhen's bedroom, would you guess what I saw?"

"Two corpses?"

Ye Kaixia, who was excited to answer the answer, was instantly lost.

Tong Shan, who disturbed her interest, was a little embarrassed and scratched his head and told her about the village chief coming to her just now.

Ye Kaixia said "Oh" with a weak voice, and her body was like a soulless body. She lay directly on the table in the yard, yawned, and muttered to herself: "I don't know who Xu Yunzhen offended, it's too miserable. She disappeared just after she passed the exam."

After saying that, she was quiet for a while, and suddenly said, "But there are indeed many people she offended."

Although they had never played together on weekdays, they learned from some people of the same age that Xu Yunzhen offended almost all the women of the same age in the village, and no one except Liu Futian could get along with her.

People who are extremely arrogant and annoying don’t know how many people have offended outside. It would be reasonable to say that some people who hate her to come to the door to set fire, but why didn’t they come out after the fire?

This is something that Ye Kaixia couldn't figure out, but then she thought that the two might have missed the opportunity to escape during a fight, which makes sense.

Tong Shan didn't respond to her. She was thinking whether Ye Changqiu woke up or not. It was already noon and he hadn't eaten yet.

In the bedroom, the boy stood behind the door with his thin body, and his slender eyelashes gathered into shadows under his eyes, standing like a statue for a long time, until the woman mentioned his name, her long eyelashes trembled like wings.
