Chapter 160 Burning the Building

Chapter 160 Burning the Building

Su Tan'er has been a little troubled recently.

Troubles are private. For her, the troubles at the moment are relatively unfamiliar feelings.After the family affairs were settled, I occasionally think about it these few days, I feel flushed, and I didn't talk to my cousin Dan Hong too much, but in my heart, I still managed to suppress my shyness and tried hard to think about certain things.

When we got married, it would have been better if we hadn't run away...

She regrets it now.In life, many things cannot be expected to develop and result, so regret is actually a relatively useless emotion, but the things in my heart have nothing to do with business anyway, after thinking about it in distress, more often I have to She pursed her lips, blaming herself for her lack of foresight and naivety.

In any case, extending the head with a knife and shrinking the head is also a knife. The things that I thought of at the beginning could not help but run away uselessly in the end. When I recall it, I can no longer remember what I thought at the beginning.At that time, if she had resigned herself with the attitude of closing her eyes and being bitten, now she wouldn't have to worry about such shameful things every day.

Such a thing as a round house... After all, there must be an atmosphere and a natural pretext.But these days I've been busy with things at home, and now I've got the grades I should get, and I'm really busy, but there are still many things to do. Xianggong probably thinks that he has to be busy these days. He is a gentleman. The relationship has settled down, and she won't suddenly think about pushing herself onto the bed one day. In fact, if this is the case now, she doesn't mind...

Now she has to think and plan these things, between husband and wife... It's not going to drag things out this winter.But when she thinks of this "between husband and wife", when she really looks at this matter from such an angle, she has to admit that the relationship between the two people is now started by herself, and then established later. up.In the past, I thought that if I had the appearance of a family, it would be enough to treat this husband well, but now that I think about it, I really haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a wife.

However, she is not a little girl who complains all day long. After so many years in the shopping mall, some of her courage has been tempered.After worrying about things for a few days, the first thing to consider is to solve your own affairs.Of course, it was impossible for her to go and talk to Xianggong about this matter. She wanted to save face after all. At this time, she was concerned about Ning Yi, and she paid more attention to her opinion in the other party's heart.

In short, it is to solve the problem... Things are a little troublesome, but when the brain turns around, this girl with the identity of a strong woman can't be troubled.I woke up this morning and came up with an idea. It would be absurd and fussy in the eyes of ordinary people, but for Su Tan'er, it was no different from making a decision in the mall.She took this small idea decisively with the courage of a big business worth 10 taels of silver.Come back early at noon, then arrange for Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er to go to work, and at the same time mobilize the servants and nurses from several nearby courtyards to ensure that they will not rush over in a short while, and everything is ready After that, grit your teeth and start acting.

I carefully looked at the structure of the small building over there, and then moved dry, thin firewood branches from the firewood house and stacked them around.There are many things to consider at the beginning. The fire must be burned evenly, and the location of the fire must also be carefully considered, whether it should be made unexpected.But for her, this kind of arson is definitely a layman, and she shook her head: don't worry, the house is mine, and I will burn it if I burn it down.

In the quiet afternoon, the girl who was in charge of the Su family's big house was doing these sneaky things nervously and attentively. Then she remembered some problems and ran into her husband's room, not knowing what else to do.

Ning Yi posted it suspiciously outside the door, and saw that in the room, the woman opened his cabinet, hurriedly rummaged through some things, identified and organized them.

"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, clothes, this is... an article written by Xianggong before?"

"Fan... This fan should be..."

"This dress... Forget it, burn it..."

"What does this write about..."

"Paintings... drawings..."

"The novel... er, is this burn?"

While arranging, she thought about it to herself. If she felt that she needed something, she would take it and put it a little away from the rear window, and throw the old clothes and the like to the window sill.I took out the pen holder and hung up a few brushes.I found the inkstone that Ning Yi had used, and after thinking about it, I replaced it with one that was not very useful. I poured some tea into it, and took the ink stick and rubbed it a few times.She first moved a large pile of words and this novel to the side of the room away from the window, looked at it after a while, and took them all back and put them on the doomed table by the window.Ning Yi felt a little regretful when he saw it, and he hadn't finished reading a few of them.

All kinds of things were roughly sorted, and he adjusted the positions of the tables and chairs in the room. After doing all this, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and nodded.Seeing that she was about to come out, Ning Yi ran away quickly, went to the empty yard next door with great interest, stepped on a stack of adobe bricks in the corner of the yard, and climbed up the wall to see what happened after the house.

After a while, Su Tan'er coughed and came over with a lit firewood stick in both hands. The firewood stick was big enough, so it was probably not completely dry, and it was hollow. When it was smoking, Su Tan'er thought that it could be used as a torch, so she took it at will. At this time, she was so smoked that she narrowed her eyes and waved her hands, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Ning Yi covered his forehead and laughed.

Su Tan'er acted decisively, without thinking much, she ordered the pile of firewood sticks one by one, frowning, looking focused, but she was always smoked.Most of the buildings are made of wood. If it is ignited in this way, it is almost certain that a fire will start. Su Tan'er lit two windows and threw the big firewood branch that caused her to be smoked through the small hole in the window. , clapping your palms.Ning Yi liked her neat demeanor when she clapped her palms. At this time, the tiles on the wall moved a little, Ning Yi stretched out her hand to help her, and the next moment, she was slightly stunned.

When she looked over at Su Tan'er, Su Tan'er was also looking over here, with a melon-faced face, her eyes stunned, her lips pursed, as if she was about to turn into a hare-lip. The woman who used to be intellectual and calm now appeared on her face, It was catastrophic panic.

Ning Yi exposed half of his head and stared at her for about half a second. The first action was to retract his head decisively, and the smile reached his mouth, causing his cheeks to bulge. The most important thing at the moment was It was a flash man, but his feet suddenly slipped. The pile of adobe bricks had been placed for a long time, and one corner was loose. He fell to the ground, and was so embarrassed that he almost slapped his foot.

********************

Ning Yi guarded the nearby road for about 2 minutes, leaning on the wall to digest a series of interesting scenes he saw just now, and at the same time making sure that no one came over for the time being, so that the fire in the small building could burn for a while.Su Tan'er didn't chase her out either. It's hard to predict her emotions at this time. Of course, if the first emotion I see when I see her later is to laugh, then the tragedy of "murdering her husband" really happened in this yard tonight. The probability is estimated to be more than 80.00%.

Smart men should know when to have a sense of humour, when to be serious, when to be dazed, and when to be in pain...but still funny...hahahaha...

In his heart, he took all the places to laugh in advance, but there was not much expression on his face. When the two servants passed by this way, he was stopped by him seriously: "Hey, where are you going?"

"Ah, uncle, we went to deliver things before, and now we go back and report to Manager Zhou."

"Is the item finished?"

"Ah."

"You may have to go out later. You don't have to reply to Manager Zhou for the time being. Go to the side door to prepare a carriage for me and go do some errands with me... However, if I don't go for half an hour, it means it's fine, you guys Go and talk to Director Zhou again."

At this time, no one dared to ignore him at home. As soon as he said that, the two servants quickly agreed, turned and walked away.Ning Yi looked back, and it was estimated that the fire had also burned on a certain scale.Also at this time, I heard his wife's business over there.

"Come on, come on, let's go, let's go! Come on, come on..."

Hearing that voice, he was quite calm.

***********************

The fire started, and the two family members nearby who heard the news first ran in from the courtyard gate. The fire was still burning at the back of the building for the time being, but there was already smoke and dust in the front.In the center of the courtyard, Su Tan'er frowned: "The water is gone, hurry up and find a way to put out the fire!"

"Yes, bucket, water tank... Where is the water tank, Second Miss..."

"Come on, let's go!"

The two servants were a little flustered for a while, but the second young lady who just took over the big house business is a person who does big things and behaved calmly: "Wait, wait, there is no water in the kitchen... You, call someone first, and hurry up Move the things out of the room, don't get burned! Hurry up."

While speaking, another servant ran over, and Su Tan'er said, "Hurry up, you also go..." Before he finished speaking, Ning Yi's figure had already appeared by the courtyard gate.At this time, she couldn't pay attention to Xianggong's demeanor, but her face suddenly turned red, she stared blankly for a while, and then looked at the famous servant: "You also go to help!"

Turning his head back, he looked at the smoking building, his chest heaving and his heart was beating desperately.

Then Ning Yi also ran over: "What's going on! What's going on! How can there be a fire!" He was stunned and heartbroken.Hearing his voice, Su Tan'er was also slightly startled, turned her head to look at him, only to see Ning Yi panting and frowning: "How, how could it catch on fire..."

Ning Yi said this, glanced at her, Su Tan'er's face turned red again, she turned her head and tried her best to become a professional shopping mall face: "I-I don't know, it suddenly caught fire, maybe... ...when no one was around, I boiled some hot water, and then...then it didn't go out...I was resting just now..."

"Oh." Ning Yi nodded and was silent for a moment, "Uh... It's winter, the weather is dry, and fires... It's normal to catch fire." Just when he was at a loss for words, in the small kitchen next to him, one of the housekeepers was carrying a bucket. He rushed out and told another servant: "Ashan, there are only two buckets of water here! Go to the yard next door to see..."

He was about to rush into the room as he spoke, but Ning Yi ran over: "What are you doing?"

"Save, put out the fire..."

"Two buckets of water can't save the fire, so move things first, move things! Find some sheets so that you won't be burned by the fire..."

"Oh..." The family Ding nodded, poured the whole bucket of water on himself, and rushed in.

The flames were burning and the smoke was rising. A famous housekeeper and maid rushed over and moved things from the building to the outside.Su Tan'er and Ning Yi stood in the center of the courtyard, the girl's expression was serious and serious, frowning, but she didn't look at Ning Yi much.The voices of the two were amidst a chorus of shouts.

"Move that chair out first... ahem..."

"There's a box at the head of the bed, at the head of the bed..."

"Don't worry about the Eight Immortals Table!"

"Book, book, those scrolls of bamboo slips, yes..."

"Put things under the eaves over there first..."

"Things in Xiaochan's room! Yes... hurry up, be careful not to burn..."

"The burnt person will pay for the soup for ten taels of silver later..."

"There are rewards..."

It was busy, Ning Yi was talking, explaining what the housekeeper was moving, Su Taner pointedly asked the housekeeper to move the things to the other side of the courtyard and put them down, and they had already started to put out the fire. After a while, Xiaochan and the others also came in a hurry, shouting "What's the matter, why is the fire on fire"? A steward probably didn't see Su Tan'er who was resting and Ning who started to participate in the firefighting. Yi, came in and shouted: "How could there be a fire, how could it be a fire! Did anyone burn..." The afternoon was made even more lively.

"Well... in winter, the weather is dry, and it's normal to catch fire..." Ning Yi poured a bucket of water into the fire and patted the steward on the shoulder, "Everyone is in a hurry and annoyed now, don't I always ask why, talk less and do more, you don’t need to ask, now, here’s the bucket, go and put out the fire.”

At the courtyard gate over there, Chan'er carried a washbasin and ran in with several maids. Su Tan'er shouted, "Little Chan, don't go there, don't get burned." Xiao Chan turned her head and said, "It's okay." It fell to the ground with a bang, water spilled out, the washbasin rolled around, and there were shouts, and there was chaos again...

*********************

After the fire was over, the breath that was extinguished by the water filled the air. When the setting sun lit up with warm yellow light, the small building that was mostly black and half collapsed was still standing in the courtyard, and it was already certain that no one could live there.

There are a lot of things brought out in the yard, tables, chairs, cabinets, and many miscellaneous things.The housekeepers took care of the aftermath of the fire, and some relatives came over one after another. Su Yu and Su Boyong also came over just now. The big people were talking at a high speed, but the little ones didn't dare to make noise. The housekeepers began to move those things into other places under the assignment of the stewards side building.Xiaochan could have been placed in the room next to Juan'er and Xing'er, so that's what she did.The housekeepers were carrying things, and Xiaochan, accompanied by Juan'er and Xing'er, counted the rescued items.

Her attribution here is clear, it's just more things, and the position seems a little vague.

When the steward went to ask Su Tan'er for instructions, Su Tan'er was talking to a cousin, and pointed, "Let's put it on the table in the room first." The steward did it.

Those were some trivial things that belonged to Ning Yi, and she was referring to her own bedroom. Of course, she just answered casually at this time, and these things did not attract anyone's attention.

She is very busy, and no one will notice what her casual answer will take into account in such a chaotic scene, she is busy.

As the sun faded, oil lamps and torches were lit around, and when it was time to eat, the housekeepers in charge of the aftermath were also ordered to temporarily stop working.In the small courtyard, some atmosphere began to become strange.

There was nothing left in the yard, and finally the chair that Ning Yi was sitting on was also pulled into the dining room by him. At this time, some people discovered that most of the previous things were temporarily temporarily It was stuffed into Su Tan'er's room, and now the whole room is a little crowded, and things are scattered a bit.

No one understood why it became like this. In the yard just now, Su Tan'er had been dealing with many relatives, and had never instructed anyone to move things to where, while Ning Yi was busy with other aftermaths. Gradually, those things disappeared, and when I looked back, I couldn't find it.

Su Tan'er looked at the crowded room and seemed a little distressed, but didn't say anything. Ning Yi also looked at it, probably also very distressed. I don't know where to sleep tonight, Chan'er, Juan'er, Xing'er I also went to have a look, but also have no clue as to how to organize it.

I don't know where the atmosphere started, and it became weird.

It could be an awkward night ahead.Of course, it could also be a fun evening...
