I looked in the direction of Rowena’s finger and couldn’t help rolling my eyes.
What grove? There were less than five trees in total. You called it a grove?
I said angrily, “There are only a few saplings. Just burn them!”
But Hadwin held me back again. “No, trees are a small matter, but that was the place Rowena and I loved to go to when we were young. I can’t let it disappear.”
Perhaps he recalled the things that happened when they were young and Hadwin’s expression became very gentle. “Rowena, you are right. I was almost fooled by her just now. She deliberately followed me and wanted to take me away from you. She also deliberately lied about the fire and wanted to burn down our secret base. Don’t worry, I won’t let this happen.”
In front of me, the two of them looked at each other affectionately. I dared say that if there was no one around at this moment, the two of them would probably hug and kiss directly.
A few scattered onlookers watched and they all watched the excitement and talked about it.
[I say, this fire is not a trivial matter. You can’t just talk nonsense.]
[That is, you can’t control your man, so you talk nonsense about fire. How can such a thing happen?]
[And if the fire is not extinguished, the people around us will also feel uncomfortable when they smell the smell of fire. You should go back quickly. Men can’t be pushed too hard.]
Seeing that no one was there to speak for me, I shook my head vigorously to calm myself down, because I felt that I seemed to have forgotten to say something important. “Hadwin, I forgot to tell you that my mother is still inside. This is a matter of life and death. Do you think I would lie?”
I thought that after saying this, Hadwin would immediately let go and take the firefighter home, but I didn’t expect Hadwin to get even angrier. “Are you sick? For the sake of female competition, you even curse your own mother? How could your mother give birth to such an unfilial daughter like you?”
Rowena held back a smile, but nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, how can you say this nonsense?”
I never thought that I would fall into a situation where I couldn’t prove myself. Just when I collapsed, the firefighter next to me discovered the farce here.
Perhaps he saw the signal for help in my eyes, he walked over without hesitation. “This is a fire scene, you can’t cross the cordon. It may be dangerous.”
Perhaps he felt that his tone was a bit stiff, he cleared his throat. “I think you seem to have something to say just now?”
I nodded. “Hello, firefighter, the fire is not here. It’s still at the other end of the village! Come with me quickly. It’s too late to put out the fire.”
The firefighter’s face changed instantly and he immediately turned to look at Rowena. “Didn’t you say that you were the one who called the police just now? Is the fire here? Do you know you are...”
Before he finished speaking, Hadwin waved his hand. “Misunderstanding, all misunderstanding. This is my wife, she is talking nonsense, the fire is here.”
I explained loudly, “No, I was the one who called the police just now and I also told you on the phone that there is still a person trapped in the fire!”
The firefighter was very angry. When he saw me repeat the situation on the phone, he quickly realized that I was the one who called the fire, but the fire was extremely urgent and there was no time for him to worry about it.
He immediately ran to his colleagues, loudly arranging something and then led most of the people to me. “Hurry up and get in the car. Lead the way for us, we will follow you to put out the fire now.”
