34: Chapter 32 Good heavens, is this still a human?
Ye Yu felt that his brain must have been seriously ill during this period, otherwise…
how could he have fallen for Xu Ke?
No, he would return to the city tomorrow and never want to deal with her again.
Thinking this, he quickened his steps back to the village.
At this moment, Xu Ke was utterly exhausted, while Rong Yan, who had been riding her bicycle, had long since bee just a small dot in the distance.
How could her two legs ever pete with two wheels?
This made her feel somewhat desperate…
What was the point in chasing after her?
By the time she reached the town, the day lilies would have already gone cold.
Suddenly she just collapsed on the ground and started to cry heartbreakingly.
Even though she was the one who could dream about the future and should have been living a better life, why was she still being suppressed by Rong Yan, that wretch?
Originally, she would dream a little every night, but she hadn’t dreamt about the future last night.
Was it a coincidence, or was it because Qin Ye wasn’t dead?
This made her even more panicked…
and her crying grew louder.
Rong Yan had no idea that Xu Ke was sitting by the roadside, crying out of frustration because she hadn’t been able to catch up with her.
Rong Yan was now covered in sweat from her bike ride, and upon reaching the entrance of the town, she suddenly saw thick smoke in the sky ahead.
This startled her.
Could it be that somewhere was on fire?
She immediately cycled even faster.
When she arrived on the main street and was trying to identify the direction of the smoke, she braked her bike and supported herself with one foot on the ground.
At this time, people were constantly running past her.
Rong Yan immediately reached out to grab someone, “Where’s the fire?”
The older woman who was pulled was initially unhappy, but when she saw that it was a particularly beautiful girl, her anger dissipated.
“It’s an old house up ahead that’s on fire.
Seems like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing.
That daughter-in-law was so hot-headed, she just set a fire…”
Rong Yan: …
“I can’t talk anymore, girl, I need to go see,” the old woman said.
While a beautiful girl was a rarity, she didn’t want to miss out on a matter as serious as human life at stake.
Rong Yan let go, and the older woman immediately trotted forward.
Rong Yan thought for a moment and then decided to ride her bicycle to take a look, as she faintly heard someone mention that a life was at stake.
Besides, the Police Station she was heading to seemed to be accessible by going forward passed the fire, as it was on the same path.
It didn’t take long for her to arrive, and she stopped as well.
The crowd of onlookers was huge, blocking the road.
Rong Yan looked towards the burning house; it was located at the back row facing the street, allowing a clear view from where she stood.
The fire was blazing on the first floor, and thick smoke had risen to the second floor.
If no one extinguished the fire, it would soon reach the second floor.
Fortunately, since this street’s houses weren’t located on the main street, they didn’t share walls with other houses.
She listened to the surrounding people discussing.
“My goodness!
That woman is so cruel, actually holding her own child and not ing out…”
“That poor child, only five years old!”
“Is no one rushing in to save them?”
“How can they rescue?
Even the child’s father doesn’t dare to rush in; he can only howl on the outside.
Who else would dare?”
“That’s true, such a big fire.
Who would want to risk their life during the new year?”
“You wouldn’t even get any gratitude for saving them.
That old woman is tough.
Perhaps she doesn’t even want the daughter-in-law and granddaughter to live.
I heard that the old woman has always despised that they birthed a girl…
because that little girl was born mute…”
Rong Yan couldn’t listen anymore.
What kind of superstitious and ignorant ideas were these?
