A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

"Okay then!" Fat Gray had no choice but to accept the reality. As a smart and wise mouse, he naturally understood one thing - it is always better to have something to eat than nothing.

It's better to quit while you're ahead than to have nothing at all!

"I'm going back to sleep. See you later."

Tian Xiaoman pointed in the direction of his room, indicating to Pang Hui that he was going back. Pang Hui nodded, not caring at all.

"Then go ahead. My little mouse brothers and I still have to continue partying. There are delicious foods to eat, so how can we go to bed so early?"

The man and the mouse separated. After returning, Tian Xiaoman, not knowing whether he was tired after such a trip or what, fell asleep on the kang soon after.

She slept very soundly that night, and it seemed that she didn't even have any dreams.

When she regained consciousness, she felt a furry and sticky touch moving around on her face.

This feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.

Tian Xiaoman instinctively touched it with his hand, but when he touched it, it felt even stickier and even fleshy.

What is that? Why is it on my face?

Tian Xiaoman opened her eyes immediately. Fortunately, she didn't scream out loud, otherwise who knows how it would have ended miserably!

The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of very iconic small round eyes.

Small round eyes? Why do they look so familiar? I seem to have seen them somewhere before.

After being stunned for a second, Tian Xiaoman immediately recognized it - those were Fat Gray's eyes.

Tian Xiaoman quickly glanced at Tian Xiaochun who was still asleep next to her. Seeing that her movements did not alarm her second sister, she felt relieved and asked in a low voice, "Little ancestor, why are you here? Didn't you go back to continue the party?"

The point is - what is this fat rat doing to his face?

Although, but it’s hard to put it into words.

"Xiao Man! Xiao Man! I called you so many times, but you didn't wake up. Get up! Get up! I'm on fire."

"what happened?"

Tian Xiaoman rubbed his eyes, looking puzzled.

"Quick! Look outside, your house is on fire!"

The three words "fire" exploded in Tian Xiaoman's mind like thunder.

She quickly climbed to the windowsill and looked out, and sure enough, there was a fire in the warehouse next to the courtyard gate on the other side of the room where her eldest brother and the others were.

The fire was so big that half of the yard was red.

Tian Xiaoman was so frightened that he could no longer sit still, and hurriedly pushed Tian Xiaochun who was standing beside him.

Tian Xiaochun was still dazed, "Little sister, what's wrong?"

"Second sister, there's a fire! I'll go call mom and dad, and you go call my eldest brother and the others."

Tian Xiaochun was startled, but ran out obediently.

"Xiao Man! Xiao Man!"

Fat Gray quickly called Tian Xiaoman who was about to go out. Tian Xiaoman turned back and said, "Fat Gray, it's urgent to put out the fire right now. I don't have time to talk to you. I'm grateful for your kindness. I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you in the future."

"Oh my..." Fat Gray twisted his fat body and rushed to Tian Xiaoman, "I'm not saying thank you or not, I'm saying this fire was man-made."

"Someone set the fire?"

"Yes, I have asked my little mouse brothers to keep an eye on the arsonists. They can't get far."

The fire started very quickly. In addition, it was New Year's Eve and the Tian family slept very late. If Fat Hui hadn't woken up Tian Xiaoman and the family in time, I'm afraid all the Tian family members would have died in the fire.

The north wind added fuel to the fire, and in a short while, the room where the brothers lived was engulfed in flames.

Fortunately, the three of them ran out in time and were not seriously injured except for choking on a few puffs of smoke.

The water tank in the kitchen was almost full, and all the Tian family members came forward, some holding basins and some holding buckets.

Even Mr. Zhao and his grandchildren next door were awakened by the noise from the Tian family. Then, people from nearby families also came to help.

By the time the old village chief was supported by his son Tian Fusheng, the fire had been put out.

Fortunately, apart from two wing rooms of the Tian family that were burned down to ruins, the main house was not affected.

The old village chief swung the pipe in his hand, his face gloomy, "Danian, why didn't you be careful? It's New Year's Day, and there's a fire. This is not a good sign. Is anyone injured?"

The old village chief's gaze shifted over the three teenagers again and again, until he saw all three teenagers shook their heads. Only then did the old village chief feel relieved, and his expression looked a little better.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Dad, I found this, take a look--"

Tian Xiaoman knew from Pang Hui early on that the fire was man-made, so he was cautious.

As soon as the fire was out, she searched for traces inside and outside the room.

God helps those who work hard. Tian Xiaoman really found a fire starter outside the courtyard wall behind the wing room.

Fire stick?

Tian Danian was obviously also surprised. The old village chief narrowed his eyes and when he saw the fire starter, he couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.

"Could this fire have been set by someone?"

Tian Danian thought about it and felt that he didn’t seem to have offended anyone in the village recently, so it wouldn’t be possible for his family to lose their lives.

Tian Changqing, who came to help, had a keen nose. He took a few deep breaths and said, "Uncle village chief, I smell a kerosene smell. It's not strong, and it shouldn't be much. This is because I have a keen nose. Most people shouldn't be able to smell it."

The smell of kerosene? And a fire starter?

The old village chief confirmed that it seemed that the fire in Tian Danian's house was man-made.

"Go look around and see if there are any other clues?"

The old village chief gave orders, and all the people who came to help gathered around the Tian family.

But after searching around, no other clues were found.

"Zhizhi—zhizhi—"

The few sounds of mice were not noticeable, but they sounded very exciting to Tian Xiaoman.

When no one was paying attention, she quietly retreated to her own hut.

"Fat Gray, is that you?"

Fat Gray jumped out of the cave, "Xiao Man, it's me, it's me!"

"Did you and your little mouse friends see who started the fire?"

"I didn't see the fire being set, but I caught the person who was suspected of setting the fire."

"who is it?"

Fat Gray raised his little paw and bared his two big front teeth, "It's Gao Daping and the young widow!"

It’s actually the two of them!

"Where are they now?"

“Hehehe——” Fat Gray laughed a little creepily, “These two bad humans actually want to hurt Xiaoman and your family. My little mouse brothers and I certainly can’t let them go.”

Tian Xiaoman looked at Fat Gray in confusion, "Hurry up and tell me, don't keep talking nonsense, it's already this late."

"They are in the ditch ahead."

The ditch that Pang Hui mentioned was dug by Tian Danian in the summer. Tian Danian was afraid that there would be too much rain in the summer and that the mountain water would flow into Tian's yard, so he dug that ditch. With that ditch, the mountain water could flow along the ditch into the small river at the east end of the village.

"Okay, then I'll take my dad to deal with them!"

"Go! Go quickly! But before that, I will take my little brothers with me to go and avenge you, Xiaoman. When you come, my people will withdraw."
