Traveling to the ancient harem

After it got very dark that night, under Xiao Zhao's worried gaze, Hongdou led the way and the two of them headed straight for the street where her uncle lived.

According to what Xiao Zhao had inquired, those families used the money that Hongdou's mother brought back to buy a neighbor's house, then demolished the old house and rebuilt three small courtyards. Her grandparents were left with nowhere to live, so the three families had no choice but to buy two thatched houses on the street far away from home, and now two people live there.

Although five or six years have passed, Hongdou's memory is still there. While it was dark, they sneaked into her uncle's yard and squatted in the corner to listen to their conversation.

My uncle's family had finished their meal and were enjoying the cool in the yard. There were two children playing around and the adults were gossiping. It was nothing more than family matters, of little value. For example, the fat aunt mentioned that the child's grandfather was working in the county town and would not be back for several days.

The two men didn't hear anything useful, so they went to their second uncle's house. The three houses were next to each other, but the courtyards were separated, and the second uncle's house was in the middle.

The two of them quietly hid under a flower stand in her second uncle's house. According to Hongdou, her second uncle had two sons and a daughter, and they were the family that bullied her the most. There was no one in the yard, and they might have all gone to bed. People at this time went to bed early to save lamp oil.

Seeing that there was nothing to explore, the two men were about to try their luck at their third uncle's house, when they suddenly heard movement at the back door of his house, and the two men quickly squatted down again.

I saw the back door pushed open from the outside, and a man poked his head in with a thief in his eyes. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, he walked in quietly and knocked on the door of a room in the main house. The door opened a crack, and a woman poked her head out, looked around, opened the door and welcomed the man in.

"That person is my eldest uncle." Hongdou whispered to Huangye: "The one who opened the door was my second aunt."

Huang Ye immediately became excited. He was worried about not being able to find a point of entry, but now, here he had the ready-made evidence. Just now they said that his uncle would be in the county town for a few days before coming back. If this became a big deal, it would be big news.

Hongdou was still young. Although she understood that her uncle going into her second aunt's room was not a good thing, she didn't understand what they were doing. Huang Ye was different. She lived in the information age in her previous life and there were all kinds of things she didn't know. Moreover, according to the information Xiao Zhao had found out, the second uncle was a carpenter who worked in other places for many years and had not been home for a long time.

Huang Ye squatted there secretly thinking of a solution. Suddenly, she had a bold idea and quietly asked Hongdou: "Where is the kitchen?"

"It's there." Hongdou pointed to a room on the side, which was a little far away from the main house.

She pulled Hongdou and the two of them quietly slipped into the kitchen. Fortunately, there was half a jar of cooking oil in the kitchen, so it seemed that they were living a good life.

Huang Ye quietly told Hongdou about her plan. As the saying goes, opportunity is fleeting and once lost, it will never come back. If such a good opportunity is missed, who knows when it will come again. If they are going to do it, they have to do it big. She doesn't believe that even after all this, they can still be a loving family.

Hongdou had no objection. After all, the lady was right that this was the best way to do it.

Both of them were people with internal strength, and they walked with almost no sound. They carried bundles of well-burning firewood from the woodshed, placed them in the corridor of the main house, and then poured vegetable oil on them.

Huang Ye specially took out the fire starter and gave it to Hongdou. Some grudges can only be relieved by taking revenge with one's own hands.

Hongdou squatted on the ground and lit the fire. Watching the fire gradually burn, she and Huangye slipped outside the courtyard wall, ran to the front door and locked it tightly. There was no noise during the whole process. Besides, everyone was asleep and the people in the main room were having a good time, so they didn't have the time to care about the outside world.

The fire was growing bigger and bigger, and all the firewood in the corridor was on fire, illuminating the yard with a glowing red light. The two people in the house finally sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to run out. The two wanted to run out of the front door, but when they got there, it was locked from the outside. The woman screamed in horror.

At this time, not to mention the people in this house, the people nearby were all alarmed, especially the two houses next door. The fire was about to spread to their house, so they all ran over to put out the fire in a hurry.

My second uncle's two sons and one daughter were at home. There was a fire outside the room where they slept. They had no choice but to run out of the fire wrapped in quilts. They were not seriously injured, just had minor burns on their legs.

They were worried about their mother and while calling her "Mom" they drew water from the kitchen tank to put out the fire. Huang Ye had left the water on purpose because she didn't want the two people to die. It would be too easy for them if they died like this.

At this time, the two families next door had already broken down the front door. Everyone was carrying water and working together to put out the remaining fire. Fortunately, there was no wind tonight and the fire was discovered in time, so no major disaster occurred.

However, no one cared about this, and no one thought to ask why there was firewood in the corridor. The hostess was still in the room and hadn't come out yet. No sound was heard. The door was burnt, so it couldn't be a bad thing. This is what everyone thought.

All three children started crying, and everyone rushed in, filling the small room up in an instant.

My aunt is an impatient person. When she saw the person covered with a quilt on the bed, she walked up without thinking and pulled the quilt away.

Now everyone could see clearly that there was a man and a woman lying on the bed. Their clothes were disheveled and they had their faces buried in the quilt, shivering.

The room suddenly became quiet. Huang Ye, who had run over with Hongdou and climbed on the roof to secretly look down, even felt that everyone would be able to hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground.
