Besides, in the big bunk beds inside, almost no one comes out after grabbing a seat. If you come out and go back in, the seat may not be yours anymore.
The big ones rushed in and grabbed the kang seat with a row of bedding. In the end, apart from them, the only two seats were left for their grandparents.
Then I treated him as my third uncle and ignored him, regardless of age or seniority. The brothers occupied the kang, and finally their mother had a place after squeezing in. The others had to sleep on the floor.
In order to prevent their spots from being snatched away, they even ate their black-flour steamed buns while lying on the kang. They didn't dare to go out when they had to pee urgently, but just opened the window, took off their pants and ejaculated outside. Their postures were ugly and their attitudes were bad, even worse than the ruffians in the village.
After some quarreling and even fighting, except for a dozen people who occupied the kang, the remaining twenty or so people all slept on the floor, and they were able to squeeze together.
It was precisely because of the noise inside that no one came out, and there were no oil lamps to light, that everyone soon began to snore and was unaware of the situation outside.
Su was quite fast and she was also a smart person. She kept following behind the big guys and refused to suffer any loss. After entering, she knew that her status was not worthy of it and she did not dare to grab the head of the kang, but she managed to occupy a position near the corner at the back of the room and she also filially saved a seat for Old Lady Wang.
Old Lady Wang had been whipped and hadn't recovered in days, so naturally she couldn't compete with the young men. If she hadn't been taking advantage of her age, she would have been stopped outside the door by the big guys and not allowed to go in. But even after entering, she couldn't squeeze in to Mrs. Su's room. No one would let her in, and soon the seat that Mrs. Su had saved for her was taken away by someone else.
In the end, Old Lady Wang thought she was unlucky and had to lie down in a position closest to the door. She was sulking, but she wasn't angry all the time. After lying down for a while, she started snoring like everyone else.
Even though Jing Yongning had a grudge against the old patriarch's family, he never thought of letting the fire burn them to death. The moment he discovered that someone had set the fire, he first woke up everyone in the family, but then he immediately went to their door and shouted a few times to wake them up.
Older people generally sleep lightly, and even after a tiring day, they only sleep deeply in the first half of the night. Jing Yongsheng, who was sleeping in the middle of the large bunk bed, was immediately awakened by Jing Changning's shouting.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a blazing fire overhead. Though the fire had just started, it was spreading incredibly fast. He quickly straightened his old back and scrambled down to pull on his dusty shoes, not caring that the floor was covered in people sleeping. He stumbled and swayed across. He cried out, "Fire! Fire!" but he didn't even think to help his wife, who lay unconscious beside him.
Jing Yongsheng was the first to run out, screaming for help at the top of his lungs. His voice was so loud, and the fact that he was trampling on the door, woke up most of the people inside. The room suddenly became noisy, with almost everyone scurrying about like ants on a hot pan.
One by one, they opened their eyes and found flames above their heads. They didn't care whether they stepped on others or were hurt by someone else. In order to save their own lives, they all tried to push the people around them back and step on them so that they could rush out first.
In this case, the scene would be spectacular. In order to survive, no one would care about anyone else. At this time, it is either you die or I live. No one in their family would sacrifice themselves for others.
Originally, Mrs. Wang, who was sleeping closest to the door, should have escaped the fastest, and she was also awake at the old age. However, she had just sat up when Jing Yongsheng stepped on her feet twice. She was still busy making trouble and screaming, "Ouch, ouch, damn it, someone is stepped on to death!"
She didn't care to crawl out even though she felt a little pain. She held her old waist and fell down again. Later, she wanted to run away but she couldn't. The longer she waited, the more people stepped on her. She could even feel the sound of her bones breaking. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to crawl out.
Once the situation becomes chaotic, whoever is stronger and younger will naturally have the advantage. Also, no matter how cruel a mother is, she will still take care of her daughters and sons and push them forward. The foolishly filial and virtuous ones will even ask the men in the family to run first, so they naturally fall behind.
When Jing Changning, Dalang and others went over to help, they saw about twenty people coming out of the house, but they all looked very disheveled.
Many people were sitting on the floor, crying out "ouch, ouch". Some were injured from being stepped on and were groaning. Some had almost no hair left from the fire and were scratching their heads in anger.
There were still many faint cries for help from inside, but the people who escaped looked at the raging fire, and no one dared to go closer to continue saving people. They just watched, sighed, and shouted.
The wind was blowing backwards from the door. Except for the parts near the door, the roofs of the other two houses were burned out. The people asking for help would probably not survive even if they were rescued, and would become a burden instead. This was why the people outside did not help.
It's so cruel that people are cruelly abandoned by their closest people. I'm afraid everyone in there will die with regrets.
"Help...!" Hearing someone shouting for help, Dalang took a step forward, thinking that maybe a few more people could be rescued!
However, his heroic act was tugged at by Erlang, who was following closely behind him, and he finally stopped. It wasn't that Erlang was cruel, but he felt that the person he rescued at this time might not only have a broken hand or even a broken foot, but also might have suffered extensive burns and died. Since they didn't even rescue the people in their own family, why would they actively let others scam him?
Just as she was distracted, Lin rushed over first. She seemed to hear a voice that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar right at the door, so she subconsciously moved closer.
Sure enough, a black hand stretched out from the door, and a female voice calling for help also came from that person. Lin could tell that it was Old Lady Wang. The fire was a little hot at this time, but the burn at this part of the door was not too serious. The wooden door seemed to have just started burning and had not fallen down.
Just lend a hand and use a little force, and you should be able to pull out the person weighing dozens of kilograms, and save a life. She reached out her hand without hesitation.
"Where were you just now, you bastard? Hurry up and save me, or I'll sell you out when I get out."
Old Lady Wang had been trampled so many times that she almost fainted. When she regained consciousness, her bones were all broken. She endured the pain and crawled over to the threshold, her hand already stretched out. Suddenly, in the firelight, she saw Lin and her heart was boiling with anger. She knew her life was saved, but as she had done for years, she couldn't help but curse.
