Rowena saw this, gnashed her teeth in anger and pulled Hadwin to start acting like a spoiled child. “Hadwin, I really don’t understand. I just don’t want our grove to be burned down, am I really wrong?”
Hadwin gritted his teeth, opened his arms and stood in front of the fire truck. “My wife is obviously talking nonsense on purpose. Don’t believe it. You must put out the fire here before leaving. I absolutely can’t see our secret base burned down with my own eyes!”
The situation was temporarily deadlocked. At this time, the village chief ran out covered in ash. When he saw this situation, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. “Hadwin, are you crazy? You stopped the fire truck from putting out your fire. Are you going to watch your old house burn to ashes?”
It was not until this time that Hadwin realized that I was not lying and the house was really on fire!
Without time to ask more questions, Hadwin was so scared that he almost lost his soul. He quickly climbed onto the fire truck and shouted, “Hurry up and get in the car. I’ll lead the way. Hurry up.”
The firefighters naturally had no time to care about what had just happened and immediately got on the car. When the firefighters arrived at the door of the house, the open fire was already very big. The neighbors who were still helping to put out the fire finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the firefighters.
They sat down on the ground one by one, pointing at Hadwin and cursing.
[Are you sick? Why don’t you answer the phone?]
[Why did the village chief say that you just stopped the fire truck? Do you know that we were almost exhausted?]
[You clearly know that there are many houses connected here. Do you know how dangerous it is? Can you bear these responsibilities?]
Hearing the accusations from everyone, Hadwin was overwhelmed. He shouted at me without thinking, “The house is on fire, why don’t you say it clearly? This is all your responsibility, don’t try to escape!”
I was so angry. “Why didn’t I say it? I just said it very clearly, but you didn’t believe it and thought that a few broken trees were more important than the old house! The villagers at the entrance of the village just heard what you said. You should have a limit when you confuse right and wrong!”
Rowena looked at the fire in front of her and her expression was a little ugly, but she still said sarcastically, “How could this fire be so coincidental? Did you set it on purpose? You just said that your mother was still in the fire. Why didn’t we see it?”
Just when I was about to speak, the firefighters carried a person out of the fire with a quilt. The firefighters shouted to the outside, “The person is still alive. Is the ambulance here? Hurry up…”
The ambulance had arrived a long time ago. After hearing this, they immediately rushed forward and put the almost burnt person on the stretcher and carried him to the ambulance.
Hadwin and Rowena were struck by lightning at this moment. Hadwin didn’t dare to look at me and the charred person on the stretcher. He stammered, “How… How could there really be someone inside?”
Hadwin reflexively put all the responsibility on me, completely forgetting who had just stopped me from looking for firefighters. “This… This can’t be blamed on me. You always like to annoy me and exaggerate things. How can I know that this time it is true? This…”
I just thought it was ridiculous and couldn’t help looking at him coldly. “Why? This is my fault? Did I not call an ambulance? Did I not let the firefighters come to my house? Did I stop the car?”
Hadwin couldn’t say anything to blame me and his face turned red. The ambulance was also urging, “Although the patient is still breathing, she is severely burned and has inhaled too much smoke. We have to go to the hospital immediately. Who of you two will follow the car?”
Hadwin and Rowena pushed me forward in tacit understanding.
I frowned and was about to speak when Hadwin said, “You should accompany them quickly. I... I still have to watch the fire here. And you can see that Rowena is frightened. I have to send her home later. Don’t worry, your mother will be fine. It is said that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. When your mother recovers, I will apologize to her. She is so nice to me. She will definitely forgive me.”
Looking at Hadwin’s disgusting face, I couldn’t help it anymore. “My mother doesn’t need you to apologize, because the person in the fire is your mother, so the person you should apologize to is also your mother!”
