In less than a moment, the fire grew stronger and stronger, and the heat made everyone suffocate.

"I'll explain to you later, can we run away first?" Mingxiu gritted his teeth and wanted to run away immediately.

She has already experienced life and death once, so now she cherishes her hard-earned life more than anyone else.

The man stared at Mingxiu coldly for a moment, then let go of his hand, and then the two of them rushed out of the narrow wooden door first.

When she was almost running to the door, the wooden cabinet in the room suddenly hit Mingxiu. Her hands and feet became stiff for a moment, she didn't dare to breathe, and she resigned herself to her fate and closed her eyes.

"Bang--"

The imagined pain did not occur.

Mingxiu's eyes opened a crack, and she saw the cabinet hit her side.

If the man next to him hadn't reacted quickly enough, Mingxiu would have died.

"You..." Mingxiu blinked.

But the current situation didn't allow her to say anything else - escape was the most important thing.

Seeing Mingxiu finally running out of the fire house, Ming's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiu'er, come to mother quickly!"

Finally escaping from death, Mingxiu's heart skipped a beat and he breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to the man next to her and said, "Thank you just now..."

Halfway through her words, she realized that the person who had escaped with her had disappeared!

Too bad!

The man injured his leg when he rescued her just now, and he definitely won't be able to run!

Mingxiu turned around and ran without thinking - no matter what, it was a human life!

Seeing Mingxiu rushing into the fire scene again, Ming's mother was so frightened that she fell to the ground: "Xiu'er! You're going the wrong way, come to mother's side quickly!"

But Mingxiu only did it unheard of.

The villagers gathered outside the yard of the Ming family and talked a lot: "I'm afraid the silly girl from the Ming family went back to save the little beggar. I heard that she cherished the stinky beggar very much."

"You even ran into the fire to save people. Are they going to die together?"

"You don't know yet? I heard that it was because Ming Sha Niu was pregnant with the beggar's child. Ming Sha Niu was afraid that the child would be born without a father, so she tried her best to save it!" They could gossip, but no one in the crowd came up to splash water.

Save people.

In the fire scene, Mingxiu was almost hit by the burned thatch from the roof as soon as she entered. She hurriedly took a few steps to the side and suddenly tripped over something under her feet.

What caught her was a warm chest.

Facing the man's bright eyes, Mingxiu's brows were flying: "Finally I found you!"

"You...are here to save me?" The man stiffened.

Mingxiu nodded heavily. She lifted the man up, and all the gravity fell on her shoulders. Her knees could not bear the pressure and almost slipped to their knees: "Let's go together!"

But no matter how difficult it was, Mingxiu never thought for a moment about letting go of the man.

As soon as they ran out, the already unstable thatched house collapsed completely.

Mingxiu stumbled and fell straight to the ground.

"Oh my God! It's okay if everything is okay." Ming's mother rushed over, with snot and tears streaming down her face.

She thought of the rumors just heard from the villagers and asked in a low voice: "Master, what should I do with this person?"

Father Ming frowned and asked, "Young man is not from our village, is he?"

Hearing this, Xie Zhan was slightly startled and his mind turned around.

Staying in a small village is the safest for him now.

Xie Zhan's voice was low: "My name is Xie Zhan... I used to beg in the county. This time I accidentally lost my way and fell into a trap."

"This time I thanked the girl for saving my life...I want to stay and repay the favor of saving my life."

Ming's father frowned slightly. He glanced at Mingxiu who was dazed on the ground and relaxed: "You have seen the situation of our family. If you are willing, then stay..."

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and Mingxiu slowly woke up.

"Are you awake?" Ming's mother had been watching over Mingxiu. When she saw that he was awake, she quickly broke off a piece of steamed bun and fed it into Mingxiu's mouth: "I must be hungry after sleeping for so long."

Mingxiu subconsciously looked in the direction of the thatched house, where there was only a piece of burned land and Ming's busy father.

"Mom, is our house... gone?" Mingxiu felt dizzy.

Ming's mother subconsciously clenched her sleeves and pursed her lips tightly: "It's gone, it's gone. I'm tired of living in a broken house! Burn it down, it will save trouble!"

If only it were that simple... But not only was the house gone, but all the family's surplus food for many years was burned.

Seeing Ming's mother's expression, Mingxiu patted Ming's mother's hand vigorously and said firmly: "Mom, don't worry! I will definitely lead a good life for my parents!"

After hearing this, Ming's mother's eyes became even more moist: "Okay, it's all up to you!"

Her daughter finally became sensible...

"That Xie Zhan is a nice guy. After your father agreed to keep him, he might have done something. Even after his leg was injured, he kept helping your father cut wood piles and repair the roof!" Ming's mother winked and held her chin: "Much better than Li Goucheng.

Got it!"

How could Mingxiu not know what she was thinking?

Her eyebrows twitched. This person seemed to be no ordinary person. If he stayed at home, would he inevitably get into trouble?

Mingxiu's mouth opened and closed, and in the end there was only a long sigh: "Then keep it."

The family really lacked a young man who could help with work, so they treated him as a coolie.

Mingxiu thought about it, and called Xie Zhan without any politeness at all, and walked towards the back mountain: "Xie Zhan, go and cut some bamboos, and then build the house more firmly."

"Chopping bamboo?" Xie Zhan's brows furrowed slightly, his face full of resistance.

Mingxiu patted Xie Zhan on the shoulder and smiled so hard: "Didn't you say you wanted to repay your kindness? You wouldn't be happy if you couldn't chop a bamboo, right?"

After staring at Mingxiu for a long time, Xie Zhan waved the sickle in his hand and silently carried the bamboo on his shoulder.

"Xie Zhan, your martial arts skills are so strong...you can't just waste it on small things like chopping firewood and repairing the roof," Mingxiu said with a naive smile: "Go and hunt some game, and go back for a snack."

"Wait for me here."

When Xie Zhan came back with the pheasant, Mingxiu was rolling up her trousers and fighting with the wild vegetables in the field. The bamboo basket on one side was full, and her eyes were glowing green as she stared at the pheasant.

After Mingxiu groped on the ground for a while, she pulled out a broken pottery jar. She patted the dirt off the jar and raised the corners of her lips.

There is a pot at home!

She wiped the dirt from her forehead and said with flying eyebrows: "We have the pot and vegetables, and today's lunch is in order!"

On the way down the mountain, they also attracted the attention of many people.

Mingxiu ignored all this and went home to cook while humming a tune.

Looking at the table of meat and vegetable dishes, Ming's mother's eyes loomed with wrinkles: "Xiu'er, did you cook all these?"

She became even more determined in her thoughts - my daughter is finally not stupid anymore!

Ming's father praised: "You are really capable!"

Mingxiu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Mom and dad, let's eat it while it's hot!"
