Chapter 159: Playing with Fire, Getting Burned

ey were young Who wasn't teased a few times So, we don't be afraid. We will grow up slowly, right""Well, well!" Jia Yin's heart was warmed to the core. She knew that San Bo confessed his embarrassing...After unloading the seeds and grain, the cargo wagon drove off, but left the mule cart behind.

Mrs. Cui handed the reins to Old Li, smiling and saying, “We have a lot of donkeys on our farm, and we usually use carriages. The donkey carts are idle most of the time. Since our big Qing has run away, let's keep this one at home for now. Of course, this is borrowed. When our family has silver later, we will pay you back.”

Of course, the Li family could tell that she was helping them indirectly.

Lao Li didn't refuse this kindness either. "Alright, then we won't be polite. It's indeed inconvenient to go anywhere without a cart. We'll pay you back when we make money later, but for now, consider it on credit."

Indeed, Mrs. Cui was even more delighted, and the Li family members surrounded the donkey cart, their faces beaming with smiles.

Daqing had been shot and fallen, along with Li Laotai and Jia Yin. He didn't know where he went afterwards and they couldn't find him.

This new donkey has just arrived, he looks very young with strong teeth and a healthy weight, even more impressive than Big Qing.

Hearing the news, people from the village came flocking to have a look, which rather surprised the new mule.

In the end, Old Lady Li named it Xiaoqing, making it Big Qing's brother.

Mrs. Cui sat for a while longer, but she couldn't be of much help, so she took Qiong's maid and went back home.

At home, things were lively. Jiayin, followed by her two mischievous older brothers, ran down the hillside in a flurry of excitement, adding to the commotion.

Because the mischievous boys in the village, when they saw the box of sweets, were like wolves seeing rabbits. They swarmed around the three siblings.

Jia Xi Jia An opened the snack box and saw all kinds of snacks inside, making her lick her lips with anticipation.

But they still shoved the box into their sister's hands, urging her, "Sister, eat, sister, eat."

Jia Yin smiled, showing a white tooth, and took a piece of snack. She bit into it with gusto. Sure enough, the mischievous boys swallowed hard with envy.

Jiayin was amused and laughed out loud. She no longer felt jealous of them. She took a little bit of snacks with her small hands, sharing one piece after another with each person.

There were seven or eight mischievous boys, and there wasn't enough snacks in the whole box to go around.

Finally, Jia'an and Jiaxi each received one piece, while the rest of the boys received one piece together.

Jia Yin ate a full lunch with Madam Cui and only wanted a piece of dessert to nibble on slowly.

The mischievous boys ate to their fill, but they didn't clamor for more. Soon, they dispersed and ran off playfully in all directions.

In spring, all things revive, and birds naturally begin to breed.

The mischievous boys got lucky and actually found a nest of bird eggs.

Someone suggested, "Let's get some snacks for Fu Niu, and we'll make her some boiled eggs."

"Okay, I'll light the fire."

"Get more firewood."

The mischievous boys said they'd do it and soon had a pile of burning stones.

Jia Yin sat on the stone, unable to contain herself, about to climb down. She was terrified they would roast her as well.

It's a pity, that's often how things go. Fear what you will and it shall come to pass!

A mischievous boy, afraid that Jiayin might fall, wanted to help her up. However, he forgot that he was still holding burning firewood in his hand. He accidentally pressed it onto Jiayin's clothes, scaring him so much that he instinctively threw the firewood away.

The fire on the hearth had died down, but the embers were still burning hot, so they immediately ignited the surrounding dry grass.

The wildfire, fueled by the spring wind, spread rapidly.

The mischievous boys were scared out of their wits. When they came to their senses, they cried out and ran to seek help.

"Help! It's on fire, it's on fire!"

"Wooo, Father, the fire!"

Jia Yin lay on the edge of the stone, unable to go down or up. She was completely frightened out of her wits.

Oh my goodness, did she step in dog poop Her luck is terrible!

Homei and Jianan saw the wildfire encircling the large rocks, jumping up and down in panic.

"Sister, sister!"

They are also afraid, but others can run, they cannot.

With a shared resolve, they plunged into the burning grass, scooped up their sister, and sprinted out.

The wildfire quickly burned their pants legs, causing the two of them to scream and run.

When the villagers arrived, they saw Jia Yin with a pale face, being supported by her two brothers.

Now Ah Jia's legs have become like fire balls!

Luckily, Lao Si was washing up and heard the commotion. He grabbed a bucket and came over.

He rushed forward like the wind, scooped up the two boys and shoved them into the bucket. He shouted loudly, "Daughter, hold onto father, don't let go!"

Jia Yin immediately hugged her father tightly, clutching him closely in front of her.

Li Laosì carried his nephew in one hand and a bucket of water, with his daughter hanging from his chest. He ran back home with all his might.

"Doctor Zhang, help me! Help me!"

The Li family rushed over at that moment and were terrified to see him like this!

Jia Yi took the bucket and ran to the hut. Zhang Shenyi was taking his midday nap and was startled awake, looking a little dazed.

These days, people in the village were busy settling down. He couldn't help either, so he just spent his days changing dressings and brewing medicine for a few seriously injured people.

Originally, I thought I could go to Xindu in a few days. But the mischievous kids found him something else to do again.

Jia'an was pulled out of the bucket by Jia Yi, crying out in pain.

Fortunately, the old lady raised her children carefully, keeping them warm in spring and cool in autumn. Even though it was late March, she still dressed her grandchildren in quilted jackets and trousers.

Just now, Lao Si Li saved the situation in time. Jia Anjia Xi's feet and calves have some blisters due to the burn, but there is no major problem.

It's just that the cotton pants are completely ruined, burnt to a crisp and can't be worn anymore.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, clutching a half-cut pair of cotton pants, were so scared their legs went weak.

Grandma Li held her granddaughter, who was sobbing, and kept gently patting and soothing her. Looking at her grandson, she really wanted to give them both a good beating.

Jiā n jiā xǐ guāng zhòng zuò zài wō péng lǐ, hài xiào de wǔ zhe tuǐ zhōng jian, jiàn dào jiā lǐ rén zhè gěng yě hài pà le, liǎng rén xiāng hù kàn kan, chē zhe bó qǐ jiù kū lái le.

"Sobbing, "We just wanted to cook bird eggs for our little sister."

"We didn't mean to roast our sister! It wasn't intentional!"

As soon as Jia Yin thought about the fire surrounding the stone she had just been hanging from, she felt a chill of fear.

She was almost a stone plate burn!

"Woooo, Grandma I'm scared! I don't want to be roasted!"

Li LaoTai held her granddaughter, walking across the floor with concern. “Funiu don't cry, don't cry, Grandma is here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! From now on, we won’t pay any attention to your two silly brothers anymore, we'll stay far away from them!”

Everyone felt pity and rubbed their hands anxiously, wanting to give the two boys a good scolding. They were burned, and they got hurt while running back to save their younger sister.

I really want to beat you up! I'm so mad!

At this time, the villagers also put out the fire and came over, holding their sons' ears.

How are you doing at home Are your injuries serious

Li Lao'er glared at his two nephews and scolded, "They only burned a few water bladders, but they scared Funiu. Funiu was placed on a stone and almost roasted by the fire!"

A few more mischievous boys were also quite righteous. At this moment, they covered their ears and butts and loudly admitted their mistakes.

"It's me who wants to roast the bird eggs."

"The bird egg is mine!"

"The big rock was warm, I had carried Lucky up onto it."

Everyone was so angry they couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "You guys are really loyal, competing to take the blame, aren't you"

The village head was also furious, his face red with anger, "I've told you countless times, when the wind is strong, don't start fires outside! Where did your ears go The adults are busy eating and have no time to spare, but you lot are well-fed and idle, running around causing trouble!"

"Tell everyone, tonight and tomorrow morning, don't give them any food. Let them go hungry for half a day, and see if they still have the energy to cause trouble!"ntwined around them. She ran over and pulled down two, throwing them into the water.Even the young maidservant in blue was determined to survive, clinging to the vine with her last ounce of strength.T...
