Chapter 140 Hob meat?
Late at night,
Shen Anzhi was curled up in the haystack of the woodshed. She looked very depressed. She could only live here if she had money. There was no other family within a few miles. What a ghost...
Unknowingly, Anzhi fell into a light sleep with her warm arms in her arms.
However, a gust of cold wind blew by, and she was suddenly awakened by the cold.
She shuddered and slowly opened her eyes. The temperature in the woodshed seemed to be even lower. The doors and windows of the woodshed that were closed just now were blown open, and bursts of biting cool wind blew in. He hugged her tightly again.
Just as Shen Anzhi was about to close the door and the only window of the woodshed, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell of smoke. She was startled and looked up, only to see thick smoke billowing from the cowshed at the corner and flames reaching into the sky.
It's on fire!
She quickly braved the biting cold wind and came to the cowshed. Fortunately, the fire was not big, just a bundle of straw burned.
An Zhi was about to find a bucket of water to put it out, but when he thought of the old woman's attitude today, he immediately put down the bucket and shouted into the house: "Old man, your cowshed is on fire."
After saying that, An Zhi went to prepare to return to the thatched house again, but everyone was at the door, and the old lady in the house did not turn on the lights or make any noise. She looked at the burning haystack again with some tangle in her heart.
To be honest, when thinking about the old lady's attitude and behavior towards him during the day, Shen Anzhi really wanted to leave it alone, but if he didn't save her, the entire thatched house would probably be burned down tomorrow.
"How did the fire ignite in such a cold day?" Shen Anzhi was puzzled, carrying a bucket of cold water from the ditch nearby and throwing it towards the flames.
It didn't matter if he poured the water on it, but when he poured the water on it, the fire became even stronger, leaving An Zhizheng completely confused.
Just as Anzhi was busy putting out the fire, the old woman hurried over. When she saw the raging fire and busy Shen Anzhi, she loudly accused her indiscriminately: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you are a scoundrel, you are just a few broken people." Money, you, you actually want to set fire to it, I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you.”
When Shen Anzhi heard this, his eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief. "Old man, how can you talk nonsense? I just discovered the fire, and I was putting out the fire!"
An Zhi defended loudly while continuing to carry the bucket and splash water.
But the old woman didn't listen to her explanation at all and continued to shout: "Oh, I'm afraid of you, girl. It's because of my old woman's fault. She's so poor that she does stupid things. I'll pay you back the money. You can leave tomorrow. Let's go." .”
Shen Anzhi was trembling with anger. She never expected that she would be slandered for no reason despite her good intentions in helping to put out the fire. "Old woman, I say it again, I didn't set the fire, so don't spit on others."
After saying that, a bucket of water was poured heavily on the fire again, and the fire was extinguished.
Old woman: "I really shouldn't have taken you in. I didn't expect you to be so cruel. You bullied an old woman like me and burned down my house. I didn't expect you to be so small-minded..."
The old lady's unwilling voice was sharp and harsh, and finally woke up the panda Tuantuan who was sleeping in the woodshed.
Tuantuan stood up sleepily, a flash of anger suddenly flashed in its little eyes. It walked quickly towards the old lady on its short legs, whining dissatisfiedly.
"Tuanbao, no."
An Zhi was still slow to react. Tuantuan suddenly stretched out his little paw and pushed the old lady hard. The old lady was defenseless and was suddenly pushed to the ground.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, this beast is hurting someone, help me." The old woman was lying on the ground rolling.
Shen Anzhi was also stunned by this scene, but she quickly came to her senses. She quickly ran over and hugged Tuantuan, and said softly: "Tuan Tuan, you, how can you, don't hurt others."
Tuantuan squirmed in Shen Anzhi's arms and whispered: "She is a bad guy."
"She, she..." An Zhi didn't know how to describe this old lady, so he quickly carried Tuantuan into the woodshed, then turned around to help the old lady.
In this cold night, the atmosphere became extremely tense. The eyes of the old lady who was helped up were full of fear. She looked at Shen Anzhi and the iron-eating beast wandering at the door of the woodshed, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily. The old lady recalled the scene of being pushed down by the panda just now, and her heart was full of fear. She did not expect that the iron-eating beast was so protective of its master, and she began to worry whether Shen Anzhi would retaliate against her because of her slander.
The wind was still blowing, and a cold breath filled the air.
"Old man, go back to sleep." Although Shen Anzhi still had the grievance and anger of being slandered in his heart, he still felt a trace of intolerance in his heart when he looked at the old lady shivering in the cold wind with a face full of fear.
Facing An Zhi's support, the old lady didn't dare to speak anymore. She glanced at the iron-eating beast in the woodshed from time to time, and then followed An Zhi back to the house.
After closing the door, An Zhi couldn't help but feel happy. Such a scoundrel would have to be dealt with by an iron-eating beast, and he would be cured in an instant.
……
In the early morning, the woodshed was filled with light dust, which looked like dancing elves under the sunlight.
Shen Anzhi pushed open the door of the woodshed and looked out the window at the gradually awakening world. There was still a trace of contemplation in her eyes. What happened last night made her feel uneasy.
The balls were rolling around her feet, seeming to have forgotten the tense atmosphere last night.
Anzhi searched in the yard, but the old lady was also missing.
"It's okay if you can't find it, Tuan Bao, let's go."
Shen Anzhi held a long sword and walked toward the ferry, swaying every step he took.
The breeze blew by, bringing with it a fresh breath. Shen Anzhi's hair fluttered gently in the wind. From time to time, she looked back at the group of people who were wandering away while walking.
Arriving at Muyundu, Shen Anzhi stopped and looked at the wide water surface in front of him and the rising sun in the distance. Her heart was filled with emotion, as if she had finally ushered in a beautiful dawn after experiencing a long nightmare.
While An Zhi was quietly waiting for the boatman to arrive, not far away, an old lady and a strong man walked toward this side aggressively. The strong man still held a pole in his hand: "Did that beast hit my mother?"
The old lady suddenly looked fierce: "Yes, that iron-eating beast, that girl wanted to burn down our house last night."
The strong man stood in the yard aggressively. Without saying a word, he raised the pole in his hand and started hitting the group.
"Stop!" Shen Anzhi was shocked and immediately protected Tuantuan.
"How dare this beast hurt my mother, I want it to look good." The strong man roared and swung his stick.
Faced with the sudden danger, Tuantuan did not avoid it, but ran into it head-on. It waved its little paws in an attempt to resist the attack of the strong man's pole.
The strong man gritted his teeth, raised his stick and smashed it down hard, making a dull sound when it hit the ground.
Tuantuan took the opportunity to pounce on him, biting the strong man's trouser leg and pulling hard. The strong man was furious and raised his legs to shake Tuantuan away, but Tuantuan refused to let go, and his little body kept twisting.
"Tuantuan, Tuantuan, stop!"
An Zhi stepped forward to separate Tuantuan and the strong man, but she found that Tuantuan was lying on the ground motionless.
"Tuan Bao? Tuan Tuan."
An ominous premonition enveloped her, and An Zhi's heart instantly sank to the bottom. She quickly knelt on the ground and hugged Tuan Tuan in her arms, but no matter how she called, Tuan Tuan would not respond.
