After all the hassles, it was almost dawn and the family finally went to bed. It was the quietest time when a rustling sound came from outside, very light.

Fubao and his family slept soundly. Today they saved Xiaoman and helped the baby to be born safely. The family was tired and sleepy, but they had sweet dreams.

At the most relaxed time of the day, I had already fallen into a deep sleep. Suddenly, a ray of fire appeared from nowhere outside, and a small flame danced on the firewood.

Li Shuangrong spent half an hour chopping firewood while they were away, and now it was neatly stacked against the wall. The flames flickered slightly and then burned fiercely, but no one inside noticed.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door loudly, as if the whole door was going to be torn down.

Fubao woke up from his dream. Li Shuangrong had already put on his coat and went to check the door. When he opened the door, he saw a raging fire that had turned the entire kitchen into a sea of ​​fire.

The fire spread to the door of the living room, and the window next to it was completely burned.

Li Shuangrong was pushed back repeatedly by the heat wave and ran in and said, "Wake up! Wake up!"

Fubao ran out hurriedly: "There's a fire outside, isn't it?" From her window she could see the yard, which was all red. The temperature was unnaturally high in late autumn, and soon her forehead was covered with sweat.

Li Shuangrong said seriously, "I can't get out of the door anymore. It's all fire! It's so hot that it seems to dry me out."

Fubao remained silent, while Zhao Xiuer was already panicking: "What should we do? Go through the window." After saying that, she went to look at the window. The iron bars for anti-theft were firmly embedded in the window and could not be opened by bare hands.

Seeing the fire growing bigger and bigger, Fubao was not in a hurry: "Don't be anxious, Dad and Mom, let's see who it is first." Just as he finished speaking, a familiar black shadow suddenly appeared in the yard.

The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the man's face clearly. Zhao Xiuer exclaimed in surprise: "Lingzi!!!"

The woman stood in the open space of the yard, with a look of disdain on her face: "You guys still want to arrest me? Don't you think about whether you have the ability to do it?"

Li Shuangrong's back teeth made a crunching sound.

Lingzi chuckled and said, "Why do you still want to come out and beat me? Come on, come out through the window." As she said that, she threw a stone and hit the iron rod.

She was certain that these three people had no power to resist at all. With such a fire, no matter how skilled a person was, it would be impossible to escape unless he flew out from the roof.

Fubao narrowed his eyes: "It's indeed her." He had expected that she would never give up, but he didn't expect that she would take such extreme measures.

Fortunately, the houses here are not connected, and there is still some distance between each household. Even if the fire is big, it will not affect other houses.

Li Shuangrong's clothes were soaked with sweat. Looking at the calm Fubao, he felt inexplicably relieved and calmed down.

Just as Fubao was about to use something to knock the person in front of him unconscious, the door was finally broken open and several ragged teenagers rushed in.

Lingzi's face froze, and she shouted into the darkness: "Waste, a few stupid boys can't stop you."

Suddenly, several people came out from the darkness and walked towards the children with eager faces.

Fu Bao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted at them, "Run quickly, don't worry about us!"

The tall boy seemed to be waiting for something. He pursed his lips and looked at the tall and strong human trafficker with a firm look, without any fear.

The next moment, several people pounced on them like little wolves, punching, kicking, and even using their mouths to bite the ears of those people until they bled.

But they were still children, they didn't eat well on weekdays, and they were very thin. They had no way to compete with several adults in terms of strength, and they soon fell behind and were beaten black and blue.

Fubao was uneasy, and he concentrated his mental power to mix out water that was barely enough to put out the fire in the house in a short period of time. He couldn't get out for a while, and he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Just as she was about to show off her abilities in front of others, there was a sudden commotion outside. A group of people rushed in like crazy, carrying basins and buckets.

Leading the group was the boy who had difficulty walking. He limped and was followed by his neighbors.

Zhuzi's hair was a mess as if he had been bombarded, his eyes were red, and he rushed over carrying two buckets of water.

The neighbors at the back also shouted, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will rescue you right away."

The fire inside the house was no longer burning, so Fubao doused the inside with water. Outside, dozens of neighbors came and put out the fire with buckets of water, clearing a way out for them.

The traffickers were harassed by the teenagers. Although they could beat them, they couldn't get away for a while, let alone stop others from putting out the fire. They lost more than they gained, and were taken to the county government by a group of people and sentenced to arson.

Fubao looked at the neighbors outside whose faces were all covered in black and was deeply moved: "Thank you, uncles and aunts, for coming here and saving our lives."

All the neighbors said cheerfully: "As long as the person is fine, we're leaving!" After that, they turned around and left, hiding their achievements and fame.

The teenagers were all injured. They said nothing and limped out of the house.

Fubao hurriedly called them: "Don't go, don't go!" If it weren't for these young people, they might really be in danger. She slept very soundly today and didn't know there was a fire. It was only the knocks on the door that woke them up.

The tall boy, his face covered in bruises, turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, they won't come again."

Fubao looked at the burnt house, which had been soaked with water, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "We can't live here anymore, can we stay at your place?"

Her words made no sense, causing the teenagers' eyes to widen: "What? Live with us?"

Li Shuangrong nodded and said, "We don't have anywhere to go for the time being. Can you take us in for a night?" There is usually a curfew here, and the inn will not open at night.

They pondered for a while and nodded: "We can go, but it's too shabby. I don't know if you can get used to it."

Fubao: "We are not picky. If you can live here, so can we."

The few people then silently led the way for them. After walking for a long time, they finally saw the ruined temple. Fu Bao pounded his calf and said, "Finally we're here! It's not that old! But you're so far away, how did you know that my house would catch fire?"

The tall boy's face was tense, and he said hesitantly: "We...we have been guarding outside your house these days. But don't be afraid, we are just afraid that someone will come to cause trouble."

Fubao was a little surprised: "But why have I never seen you?"

Several of them lowered their heads slightly: "We dare not let you see..." They were afraid that they would be driven away like the others.

Fu Bao felt warm in his heart: "Thanks to you guys, otherwise I would be dead."

It was the first time that they were thanked like this. They blushed and said, "Come in... come in."
