He Zhenzhen ran out all the way, seeing the situation she didn't know what to do.

All she could do was scream loudly.

"Wang Daming! Wang Daming, are you dead? How can you sleep with such a big fire?"

Wang Daming was woken up and immediately scared out of his wits.

"What happened? What on earth is going on?"

He Zhenzhen's eyebrows furrowed with fierce intensity, "It must be the bastards who started this fire, don't know if it's the Zhang Family or the Yue Family, but when I get out I'll definitely call the police and get them all arrested."

Zhang Caidie said irritably, "Think of something quickly, we're about to burn to death!"

He Zhenzhen rushed to the kitchen, only to find there was not much water left in the water tank.

Many households in the village had already switched to tap water, but Wang Daming, a poor old bachelor, still fetched water from the river.

Just these past two days, the supply had run low, and none of the three lazy people thought to fetch more.

He Zhenzhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"What do we do now, damn it, these beasts, when I get out..."

Just then Wang Daming rushed in, dragging a quilt from the bedroom behind him.

He threw it directly into the water tank, letting the quilt soak up the water.

"What are you doing?" He Zhenzhen was on the verge of breakdown, "We're out of water to extinguish the fire, and you're making a mess."

Wang Daming glanced at her disdainfully.

"Shut up, fool."

He said and then pulled the quilt out, wrapped it around himself, and dashed to the door.

He charged hard at the door.

Thanks to the quilt cushioning him, Wang Daming wasn't completely knocked out.

The water in the quilt also helped block the heat.

Wang Daming hit the door with all his might, and with a loud bang, the door finally gave way.

Letting the people inside see the blazing fire in the courtyard.

Wang Daming's heart ached so much, but at times like this, he could only grit his teeth and rush out.

After just two steps, the quilt got grabbed.

"Don't you dare think of leaving me behind, give me the quilt!"

Wang Daming kicked He Zhenzhen away.

"Get lost!"

Then he ran out on his own.

He Zhenzhen was kicked in the abdomen, her face twisted in pain, and she slammed into the door.

Her whole back felt as if it was being seared, making her let out a scream.

In this critical moment, Zhang Caidie also found a quilt and rushed out.

Not even glancing at He Zhenzhen, let alone helping her.

The three blood-related kin appeared even worse than strangers in this time of disaster.

He Zhenzhen was mad with rage, she could only snatch the blanket off the sofa and mimicked as she ran out.

Maybe it's true bad things last for a thousand years.

The three of them somehow managed to run out of the courtyard.

But looking at the raging fire inside, Wang Daming's eyes were about to pop out of his head.

"My yard, my house!"

Only then did He Zhenzhen realize, "My money! My wallet is still inside."

Because the door had been forced open, the fire in the courtyard found a way to vent and surged inside.

It was conceivable that the house would be burnt beyond recognition.

He Zhenzhen slapped her thigh and suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Oh no, I didn't take my things out."

Zhang Caidie watched all this with a numb expression.

It's not that she didn't care, but that her mind had been eroded to the point she couldn't respond normally.

Finally, the neighbors were woken up by He Zhenzhen's cries and came out to see.

When they saw the scene, they were all shocked.

Wang Daming urgently said, "Folks, help put out the fire, fetch water!"

He Zhenzhen also stopped crying, "Put out the fire! Why are you all just standing there?"

The neighbors looked at the three people who were covered in smoke and soot, but none of them moved.

Isn't it a tradition to set off firecrackers during the New Year for celebration?

They say setting off firecrackers is festive.

Alright, now there's a real fire, red and fiery, what a great omen, right?
