"It's far away! It's far away!" Chen Long shouted.
Boom!
Almost instantly, the door was blasted open violently. Air rushed in as the flames surged, making the fire even more intense!
With such a huge fire, it was impossible for anyone to enter, right? We're doomed …
This thought flashed across the minds of Chen Long, Su Hong, and company.
However, a figure appeared in the flames. Then, the figure walked out of the sea of fire, punched and kicked away all the burning things at the door. One of the completely burning wooden beams was directly lifted up by the figure and thrown out!
"Superman? That wooden beam can't be lifted without three or four people, right? "Chen Long was dumbfounded.
Su Hong snapped out of her daze and saw the person's face clearly. She exclaimed, "Fangzheng!? Is that you? "
"Amitabha. Patron, it's This Penniless Monk. Cut it out and quickly leave. The house is about to collapse. " As Fangzheng spoke, he had already walked in. He cleared away the flames on the road and lifted the water vat. He pulled a blanket over them and poured the entire vat of water over them.
The few of them wrapped themselves in blankets and ran out with their backs bowed.
Only then did Fangzheng put down the water vat. Just as the few of them ran out the door, the last word of the couplet was reduced to ashes. Following that, there was a loud boom as the house collapsed!
Su Hong turned her head and saw that Fangzheng had yet to come out! She exclaimed in fright, "Fangzheng!? Fangzheng!? Are you alright? Boohoo … It's all my fault! Boohoo … "
Chen Long and his wife's eyes turned red as well. If not for Fangzheng's sudden appearance, they would have been the ones buried! They would have been the ones dead! With their savior suddenly in trouble, they felt terrible as they cried on the spot.
But at that moment, a figure had already slipped away in the backyard.
Although the collapse of the house was terrifying, Fangzheng was quite strong. With the White Lunar Monk Robe protecting him, how could he be killed? After confirming that Su Hong and company were fine, he had taken advantage of the chaos to escape. Saving people was a good thing, but with too many unexplainable matters gathered together, it was hard to say.
Fangzheng already had a plan. When he returned, he would not say a word no matter what anyone asked! You guys can think whatever you want …
By the time Fangzheng left the Chen family, the fire trucks had already arrived. Fangzheng was helpless against the fire. He went to check the houses nearby and confirmed that there was no one there.
Fangzheng immediately ran up the mountain. He squatted in the snow at the foot of the mountain and waited for everyone to descend the mountain. Only then did he slowly head up the mountain.
After returning to the mountaintop, Fangzheng closed the door and walked into the temple hall. The candles were still burning. He sat down cross-legged and began chanting scriptures, praying for the new year and for the villagers at the foot of the mountain. He hoped that everyone would be safe this year.
However, it was bustling at the foot of the mountain. The fire brigade had arrived first. They heard that someone was buried inside! A group of firefighters rushed directly into the sea of fire. After a while, the fire was put out. They had almost dug three feet into the ground, but they did not see a single person!
"Will it be burnt to ashes?" Su Hong cried.
"Big sister, don't cry. Where did the monk come from? Where did the person come from? Look inside. Other than the furniture, there isn't even a bone, "the firefighter said as he dug through the ruins.
Su Hong looked as well. Indeed, there were no bones or corpses … Upon seeing this, Su Hong was puzzled. She had clearly seen Fangzheng not come out when the house collapsed.
The firefighter patted Su Hong on the shoulder and said, "Big sister, you must have been so frightened that you were hallucinating."
"We all saw it," Chen Long's wife exclaimed.
"This is a collective hallucination," said the firefighter.
Su Hong was about to say something when Chen Long suddenly pulled her back and whispered, "Mom, just treat it as a hallucination. This matter is too odd. Think about the couplet, the scene of him walking out of the sea of fire while holding up the roof beam with his bare hands. Is that something a human can do? Such matters can't be explained clearly, nor can it be explained clearly. The more I explain, the more troublesome it becomes. From the way I see it, Master is afraid of trouble and left directly. Although the fire is huge, Master is not an ordinary person. He will definitely be fine. At daybreak, let's go up the mountain to take a look. We will naturally know everything then. "
When Su Hong heard that, she was enlightened. She nodded and no longer insisted that she had been saved by Fangzheng. She only said that she might have been hallucinating, as though she had seen something, but she could not remember it.
With Su Hong no longer making a fuss, the matter was easily resolved.
At that moment, the villagers rushed back. The moment Chen Jin saw Su Hong, Chen Long, Chen Long's wife and son, he rushed over to hug them and cry. He had been worried to death along the way. He had been scared to death!
Su Hong originally had a bellyful of resentment, but when she saw Chen Jin's wretched state and the look of concern and worry on his face, all her anger dissipated. As long as the family was alive and reunited, it was fine. As for a home, if it was burned down, they could build another one! With people around, there was everything!
After the firefighters were done with the matter, they left.
Wang Yougui organized people to help the Chen family clean up the scene to see if they could find anything useful.
Chen Jin's family also helped. They busied themselves all the way into the afternoon before sending off the kind-hearted villagers.
Chen Jin's family looked at the ruins and sighed.
Chen Jin cursed softly, "It's all Fangzheng's fault. Why did he have to offer the first incense stick during the new year …"
Pa!
Chen Jin suffered a slap on the head!
Chen Jin said angrily, "Su Hong, what are you doing?"
"What?! Hitting you! Hitting you! Don't you understand? Try scolding Fangzheng again! I'm telling you, Chen Jin. From this day forth, if I hear you scold Fangzheng again, not only will I slap you! I'll even slap you with my shoes! "Su Hong stood with her arms akimbo, looking like a female yaksha.
Chen Jin was immediately intimidated by her aura. They had lived together for decades, but this was the first time he had seen Su Hong so ferocious! Was she still his wife? Wasn't she the one who did whatever he said in the past? Why was she rebelling today?
Chen Jin hurriedly looked at his son, Chen Long, and said, "Son, do you dare to interfere in this matter? Your mother is siding with an outsider! "
Chen Long patted Chen Jin on the shoulder and said, "Dad, don't be angry."
Chen Jin felt relieved as he thought to himself, "My son is still the one who understands me and cares for me."
"Mom is right! Mom, there aren't enough shoes. I'll help you! "Chen Long said immediately before standing behind Su Hong.
Chen Jin was instantly dumbfounded. What was happening? A big fire had caused a collective rebellion?
Chen Jin looked at Chen Long's wife, but she was already standing behind Su Hong. She said awkwardly, "Dad, Mom is right."
"You … All of you … Are you rebelling? Aiyah, there's no way we can live like this … "Chen Jin stomped his feet in anger. At that moment, he felt his trousers tighten. He looked down and saw his grandson tugging at him.
His grandson said, "Grandpa, don't be angry …"
