You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Because the wildfire was so fierce, Liu Chunhua brought Su Xiaozhu and others to help fetch water. Even when she heard someone talking about Su Chen in a sarcastic tone, she held her temper.

but now……

The fire was under control.

Don't worry anymore.

It’s time to settle the accounts!

Old Man Su knew the old woman's temper, so he walked towards her and pulled her clothes.

Liu Chunhua didn't give him a good look.

"What are you pulling?"

"What? Am I wrong? They are all heartless ungrateful bastards!"

"If it weren't for my Ah Chen, which stupid boss would build a road for our village?"

"Aliang asked Achen to check the road and came across several graves. They said they wanted to see a date to move the graves. Achen didn't take a penny and wanted to keep some for your work."

Liu Chunhua put her hands on her hips and said, "This time there was a fire, and they asked for rain. Without a word, they brought five old hens directly. Did we say anything?"

Someone murmured quietly: "That doesn't mean it didn't work out..."

"Tian Yuxiu!" Liu Chunhua suddenly looked at the person who spoke and roared deafeningly, "I knew it was you who was gossiping."

"What? Your niece is eager to become the big boss's mistress, and my Ah Chen is unwilling to play the role of a matchmaker, so you hold a grudge against her? You shameless thing, how dare you make up stories about my Ah Chen? I'll smash your mouth..."

The verbal battle quickly escalated into a fight.

Hu Shiliang was shocked and hurried over to pull the person away.

Liu Chunhua was very tough. She took the opportunity to slap Tian Yuxiu three times. After being pulled away, she spat viciously.

"Tian Yuxiu, remember this. You can scold me, but if you dare to scold my Ah Chen, next time I won't just slap you!"

When the others saw Liu Chunhua like this, they subconsciously shrank their necks.

Someone whispered in my ear.

"Tian Yuxiu is so stupid. Before, when Chunhua heard people talking about her son, she would pick up a kitchen knife and fight with them, let alone now."

"Isn't it? Chunhua dotes on Ah Chen to the bone. Saying that to him is just bringing bad luck to her."

"Shh, stop talking, stop talking. If she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't have been cheated out of three hundred yuan by her niece. She almost got divorced."

"Ah? That happened? When?"

"The noise started on the tenth day of the lunar month. I live next door, and it was a real commotion."

……

Su Chen had just come back and was about to take a rest when he heard some news.

After a moment of hesitation, he was stopped by the sharp-eyed A Liang: "Uncle, you're finally back. Is everything okay over there?"

Su Chen glanced at the dusty A Liang and jokingly said, "Did you fall?"

"How is that possible? It was Sister Liu who was digging up the dirt and all of us got covered in dirt."

A woman in the crowd turned her back silently, her ears red.

But no one blamed her.

Why are you messing around? Are you panicking? You want to dig the ditch deeper.

This is all done to protect the village.

On the other side, Tian Yuxiu was slapped several times and felt very embarrassed, but she couldn't beat Liu Chunhua, so she had to turn her head and look at Hu Shiliang.

"Mr. Hu, are you just going to let her beat me like that? How can you be the village chief? I'm going to complain!"

Hu Shiliang waved his hand: "Sue, sue."

He had already seen Su Chen behind the crowd. He didn't bother to pay attention to Tian Yuxiu and walked straight towards Su Chen: "Ah Chen, was it really you who did that just now?"

The crowd parted, revealing Su Chen behind.

When everyone saw that his clothes were dusty and the soles of his shoes were rotten, they immediately fell silent.

Su Chen smiled.

"Well, since our prayers for rain failed, we went and brought water from the stream near our village. It worked pretty well, but it was a bit tiring."

How is this tiring?

Hu Shiliang felt emotional.

Ever since Su Chen woke up from the fall, he had never seen him in such a miserable state.

Look at the sleeves of this coat, there are several holes burned on it, and the hair has also been singed in several places, not to mention the shoes... the big toe is exposed.

Looking at Su Chen's calm and composed look at this moment, Hu Shiliang admired him even more.

No wonder the city leaders came here in person. The Su family really gave birth to a good son.

As soon as someone heard that Su Chen was tired, he immediately asked him if he wanted to drink some water. Before Su Chen could answer, the man had already run down the hillside and sprinted towards the village.

Someone also asked Su Chen if he was hungry.

"Ah Chen, the noodles cooked by Auntie are delicious. You must try them later. Wait."

Someone ran away again.

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and Atang brought a stone over: "Uncle Achen, please sit down."

This is a treatment that even Hu Shiliang didn't have.

Su Chen said thank you, smiled and sat down, but couldn't help but look towards Chen Tandi again: "Uncle Liang, it's impossible for such a big fire to suddenly start out of nowhere."

Hu Shiliang nodded: "Well, once the fire is out, I will go to the town to ask the comrades to come and take a look, so that I can catch whoever set the fire..."

He clenched his fists.

Someone started shouting, "I'll break his legs!"

"I'll hang him up and beat him!"

"I'll tie him up and take him to the grave and stuff him in the hole."

After everyone vented their anger, Liu Chunhua coughed twice and said, "Xiao Zhu Chunjiao, well, we're moving the day after tomorrow and there's some food left at home. Everyone's tired today, so let's move all the food here, cook it, and eat together."

Lin Chunjiao and Su Xiaozhu nodded repeatedly.

As everyone cheered, Hu Shiliang also asked his wife and daughter-in-law to go back and get food.

Old Man Su pointed to the five old hens on the ground and said, "Let's cook them too."

A forest fire eventually turned into a feast for the whole village. When Su Chen came back after extinguishing the fire at the bottom of Chentan, the hillside was already filled with fragrance.

Tian Yuxiu, who had been slapped three times before, shamelessly scooped up a large bowl of noodles and ate it with a slurp. Her husband Li Huai couldn't stand it and reminded her, "Eat slowly~Eat less~"

It seemed like the Li family was short of her food.

"Why? Didn't I run as hard as I could to fetch water just now? I worked hard, why can't I eat more?"

Li Huai paused, rolled his eyes, and turned his back.

Seeing Su Chen looking at Tian Yuxiu, Liu Chunhua pulled him over and stuffed him with a bowl of noodles, whispering, "Achen, don't look at them anymore. There are always one or two people like this in the village. It's inevitable. Out of sight, out of mind."

On the other side, Hu Shiliang was eating noodles while calling the boys in the village over and asking them to demonstrate how to put out a fire after using it in the wild.

Finally, he said earnestly, "The most important thing to be careful about in the mountains is using fire. If a wildfire starts, not only will our houses and fields be burned down, but so will the trees and animals. Don't you think it would be a good idea to keep those trees to build houses? If that doesn't work, they're good for firewood. And what about those rabbits and pheasants? How much can they add to the wealth?"

"squeak!"

Xiaoxianer, who had just walked down the hillside with a group of animals, screamed and hurriedly led them in another direction.

Run!

If you don't run away, the fire will not kill you, but people will eat you.

Su Chen found a stone to sit on with the bowl in his hand, and immediately saw the group of frightened animals.

He smiled and passed some strength over.

Xiaoxianer felt it and jumped happily. It was with this jump that she finally realized something was wrong.

"Squeak?"

It went in a circle.

He was stunned to find that there was no hair on his charred tail, and then he jumped up in fear.

Seeing this, Su Chen held back his laughter and took a sip of noodles.

Then a very faint sound was heard.

"Tick!"
