Chapter 39 Fire
Old man Liu’s wife said: “I didn’t force you. It was all for the sake of the Liu family’s incense.”
Madam Liu sneered: "Xiang Huo, do you know how much I have sacrificed for this family? How much have I missed? Isn't it all for you? But what about you?"
Mother Qin patted Madam Liu on the back and said, "It's time to make a decision. If you hesitate, you will suffer the consequences. You have been smart all your life, how come you are confused now?"
Old Madam Liu closed her eyes in pain, tears streaming down her face. "Forget it, I can let him out. From now on, I'm no longer your sister, nor Liu Quan's aunt. You go your way and I go mine. Do you agree?"
Old Man Liu and his wife looked at each other and said in unison, "We agree. As long as everyone comes out, anything is fine."
Madam Liu felt that all the efforts she had made for herself over the years were not worth it and said helplessly, "You guys go back first. You'll be released tomorrow. We will have no relationship from now on. We are done with each other and you can take care of yourself."
The two were pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? That's great! Quan'er is going to be released and won't have to suffer in prison anymore."
Madam Liu looked at the two and yelled, "Get out of here now! Don't ever show up in front of me again."
The two men stood up, supported each other and limped away.
Jin Yuyao originally thought that the matter had come to an end. Although Old Madam Liu looked sad, it seemed that she could still hold on.
Who knew that when Jin Yuyao was about to go home, she heard a cry of surprise when she turned around: "Xiuying, Xiuying, old lady."
Jin Yuyao quickly turned her head and saw that Old Madam Liu had fallen to the ground, and Cui Liu and Mother Qin were calling her anxiously.
Old Madam Liu lay there motionless.
Jin Yuyao hurried over to give her first aid, but after acupuncture, Old Lady Liu slowly opened her eyes. Seeing what was happening before her, Jin Yuyao said, "I'm sorry to trouble you again, Madam Jin."
Jin Yuyao said, "We're all neighbors, and everyone needs help sometimes."
Old Madam Liu slowly stood up with the help of Mother Qin and said, "I am old and useless now. My death is not far away."
Mother Qin tried to persuade him, "What are you talking about? I'll definitely follow you from now on. Don't think about leaving first. I won't let you."
Jin Yuyao said, "There's nothing serious wrong with the old lady's health. Just try not to get angry as much as possible in the future. I guarantee you'll live to be a hundred years old."
Madam Liu smiled and sighed, "It's easier said than done. People have emotions and desires."
Mother Qin supported Old Madam Liu, followed by Cui Liu and the other two as they returned to the manor.
Jin Yuyao looked at Mother Qin's light movements and bright eyes, and she looked like a martial artist.
I thought the matter would end with Liu Quan coming out and Old Lady Liu breaking off relations with them.
Who knew that something bigger would happen in the manor and even cost lives.
Four or five days later, everyone in Shangshui Village fell asleep that night.
There was no light in the countryside at night unless there was moonlight. But tonight, Jin Yuyao felt the sky was red and there was a slight smell of smoke while she was half asleep. She opened her eyes alertly, put on her clothes and ran outside to check.
After coming out, Jin Yuyao was stunned to see that the manor was on fire, lighting up the night with a fiery red.
Jin Yuyao's first thought was to save people. She woke up the three children and asked them to stay away. While shouting "put out the fire", she wet the blanket and put it on her body and ran towards the manor.
The thatched hut is very close to the manor, and the weather has been dry recently. If the fire spreads over, my house will be destroyed as well.
At Jin Yuyao's shouting, the lights in the villagers' homes were turned on and they all came out to see what was going on.
He couldn't get in, so he ran back and got a ladder and climbed up. When he reached the top of the wall and looked at the flowers and plants below, he mustered up his courage and jumped.
Fortunately, there were some flowers and plants below, so Jin Yuyao was not injured, but a large area of the flowers and plants were smashed.
Jin Yuyao didn't care to look at the flowers and plants and started to shout: "Cui Liu, Mother Qin."
No one responded, watching the fire burn in Mrs. Liu's room.
She walked and shouted, but no one responded.
Jin Yuyao waited until she reached Old Madam Liu's yard. Fortunately, the fire was in the side room and it looked like it was about to spread to the main room.
Jin Yuyao didn't know which room Cui Liu was in, and saw that the door of Old Lady Liu's room was closed.
Jin Yuyao took two steps back, rushed forward two steps and kicked the door. When it didn't open, she kicked it several more times before finally opening it.
There was a blanket hanging in the yard. Jin Yuyao took the blanket, wet it by the well, covered her mouth and nose with it, and then entered the room.
Logically speaking, with such a noise, the people in the room should have woken up long ago. Could it be that they used smoke?
When Jin Yuyao walked into the inner room, she saw Old Madam Liu lying on the bed and Mother Qin lying beside the bed.
Hearing the footsteps, he slowly turned around and saw Jin Yuyao smiling: "Go save Cui Liu first. She is in the house next door. The fire there is quite big. Be careful."
Jin Yuyao smelled it: "Have you been drugged? Let me carry the old lady out first."
Mother Qin said weakly, "I'm here for you. Go save Cui Liu first. I should be fine after I recover."
Jin Yuyao took out a refreshing medicine from the space and gave it to Mother Qin: "Mother Qin, you take one first and give one to the old lady. Then I will go see Cui Liu first.
Mother Qin took the pill and took one herself.
Jin Yuyao came to the place where Qin's mother said, and sure enough, the fire was very big. Jin Yuyao rushed in and walked towards the room with her head down.
When she arrived at the room, she found a lot of smoke. She walked to the bed and saw Cui Liu lying on it. She saw that the gauze curtains of the bed were on fire.
Jin Yuyao didn't dare to delay for a moment. Fortunately, her body had recovered a lot after the treatment in the past six months. If she had just arrived, she would definitely not be able to carry Cui Liu.
She called Cui Liu several times but there was no response. Jin Yuyao struggled to carry Cui Liu on her back and was about to get up.
He was covering his mouth and nose with one hand and trying to support Cui Liu with the other hand, but he accidentally let go of his hands and they both fell to the ground.
As luck would have it, Jin Yuyao was still on Cui Liu.
Cui Liu just hummed at the two of them.
Jin Yuyao quickly stood up and apologized to Cui Liu: "I'm sorry, I will pay more attention next time."
Seeing that there was already flame on the bed, Jin Yuyao squatted down and grabbed Cui Liu's arm.
It took several attempts to stand up. Jin Yuyao was not strong enough and had to drag Cui Liu out of the room with all her might.
When they arrived at the yard, Jin Yuyao was exhausted and out of breath. She put Cui Liu on the ground and saw that Cui Liu's clothes were on fire.
Jin Yuyao covered Cui Liu with her blanket, and the flames went out.
She looked at Cui Liu and saw that she was just unconscious, so she had to hurry to save Old Madam Liu.
Jin Yuyao wanted to go to Cuiliu, the main courtyard, but there was no one there. When she was in a dilemma, she saw Aunt Hua and her husband come in.
Jin Yuyao said to Aunt Hua: "Aunt Hua asked me to go to the main courtyard to see the old lady, you look after the willow."
