So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

The high temperature continued, and people who did not take proper sun protection measures would soon get sunburned once exposed to the sun, so they decided to try to arrange their travel time in the early morning and at night when it was not so hot.

Stop and rest at noon when the weather is hottest

The sun was about to set, and the temperature dropped. After a good rest, a group of people started to pack up and prepare to set off.

The destination is still a long way away, and they still have to walk a long way.

Sui He followed the Second Grandma closely and carefully observed Huang Cuihua. After a few days of observation, he found that Huang Cuihua had no other abnormalities, but her face was a little pale and her steps were a little weak, probably because of hunger.

Sui He was confused. Was she wrong and misunderstood Huang Cuihua? Was she just a little smelly?

Sui He was thinking when he heard a scream from the front. It turned out that someone accidentally stepped on a stone in the middle of the road and fell to the ground.

Everyone rushed forward to check and found that the injured person's leg had hit the gravel and was bleeding. In this place where there is no village or shop, and it was dark at night, it was normal not to see the stones on the road.

It's just that the injured person can't walk for the time being. Seeing this, everyone in Linjia Village looked at Old Man Lin.

"Okay, in that case, let's all rest here and get up early tomorrow to continue our journey." Father Lin looked at the sky and calculated the time. He found that it was almost midnight and everyone was tired, so he arranged for everyone to rest here.

Soon, the camp was set up and the bonfire was lit. It was dry and dry, with dry branches everywhere, the fire burned quickly.

The others sat around the campfire, discussing the next itinerary. Father Lin was worried about the injured and decided to wait until the next morning to see if they could continue.

As the night deepened, everyone gradually fell asleep. Sui He stayed by the campfire, feeling sleepy, she yawned, and then fell asleep leaning against her small backpack.

As time passed, the entire camp became quiet, and snoring could be heard.

Huang Cuihua, who was sleeping nearby, slowly opened her eyes, looked around, and glanced at the people on guard. Since the last human trafficker incident, the village chief had arranged for people to keep watch every night to inspect the environment.

She was not in a hurry, she closed her eyes and waited for time to pass.

Not long after, she heard a rustling sound. She opened her eyes and found that the night watchman was walking towards the bushes. She was waiting for this moment. When the man disappeared behind the bushes, she quietly got up, crouched, and walked towards the direction of Chen's house, holding a bottle and a wooden branch with sparks on it.

Sui He and his two companions were tired and sleepy because they had walked a long way. As there were people on guard in the team, they went to sleep without any worries.

Huang Cuihua gently approached the Chen family's backpacks, poured the liquid in the bottle on them, a ferocious smile appeared on her face, and then threw the wooden stick in her hand over, instantly igniting the two backpacks.

Because Sui He's small backpack was leaning against her, Huang Cuihua couldn't do it and let it go. After doing all this, she looked around and found that the night watchman had not returned yet. She looked intently at the three sleeping people, clenched the porcelain bottle in her hand, and quietly returned to her seat and lay down, closing her eyes. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and soon attracted the attention of the people around her.

"It's on fire! It's on fire, put it out!" The backpack was made of bamboo strips. I don't know if anyone knows that bamboo strips burn faster and more fiercely than ordinary wood. When the night watchman came back after taking care of his physiological needs, he saw that the Chen family's backpack was on fire.

He shouted in shock and ran over to wake up the sleeping Chen family members. Although the backpack was beside him, it was a little far away from him, so the fire did not affect them.

"What's going on?" Elder Lin, awakened by the noise, came over with a few people to inquire about the situation.

"Village chief, I don't know either. I just went to relieve myself, and when I came back I found their backpack was on fire," the night watchman explained hurriedly.

Sui He was also woken up. She saw that it was Chen's backpack that was on fire. She frowned, wondering why her own backpack was on fire. She turned her head and looked in the direction of Huang Cuihua.

Huang Cuihua's smug look had not yet faded, but when Sui He looked at her so fiercely, she subconsciously panicked for a moment, and then smiled at Sui He provocatively.

Seeing this, Sui He had no idea what was going on. This was most likely done by Huang Cuihua, and she would not let her go.

"I asked you to keep watch, what are you guarding?" Father Lin was angry. Since someone could set a fire right under their noses, who knows what that person would do next time. The more Father Lin thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Village chief, I..." The night watchman hesitated for a long time. This matter was actually his negligence.

"What are you still standing there for? Put out the fire!" Father Lin directed everyone to move forward.

The weather was dry and everyone had limited water, just enough for daily drinking, so there was no water for firefighting. In addition, the backpacks were mostly filled with clothes and fabrics, which would burn even faster. There was no need to put out the fire at all.

"What's going on? Why did it start burning for no reason? All my food is gone." The second grandmother stood aside, looking sad and desperate. Although they had money, it was still two days away from the next city. What could they do during this time?

"Brother Lin, people are always in a hurry. Don't blame him. Someone is doing this on purpose." The second grandfather observed for a while, looked around, and walked to Father Lin.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, look at this...ah..." Father Lin looked at Master Chen with guilt, and immediately said: "But don't worry, if it is man-made, I will never tolerate it. This matter is too bad. If I catch it, I will severely punish that person and make her compensate you."

The fire burned very quickly and went out in a short while. The second grandfather went forward and pulled it out. There was no need to look at the basket where the clothes were placed. It was completely burned to slag.

After checking the last basket, I pulled out a few porcelain bowls and some coal balls that were still emitting sparks from the ashes. All the food had been burned and could no longer be eaten. This was a huge loss.

The second grandfather carefully checked the surroundings and found a piece of soil not far from the basket that was obviously different in color from other places. The second grandfather walked forward, picked up a little and put it under his nose to smell it.

"It's kerosene." Because soil is not flammable, the kerosene that fell on it burned, but some of it remained underneath. Even with just that little bit, you could still smell the kerosene.

"What? It was really man-made? Who on earth would do this?" Everyone was shocked and started to discuss.

At this time, Sui He stood up, pointed at Huang Cuihua and said, "It's her. I just saw her acting sneaky and evasive. She must be hiding something." Everyone's eyes turned to Huang Cuihua.
