Chapter 316 The police took him away
"Who? Who called the police?" Song Wanli was a little confused and angry—autumn was dry and the fire was bad, so he could only accept his bad luck. Why call the police?
"It's me!" It was actually the wife of the village chief, Song Dazhuang. It could only be her; her family was the only ones in the entire Songjia Village with a telephone. "With such a big fire, we definitely have to call the police! Let the police investigate whether someone deliberately set the fire. You're welcome, after all, my Dazhuang is the village chief."
"You... Yang Ping, you're meddling in other people's business!" Song Wanli couldn't stop Song Dazhuang's wife from calling the police, nor could he stop the police from questioning him.
Song Mingli gave Song Wanxing a deep look, then glanced at his brother Song Mingfu beside him. When the police questioned him, he only said that he was the one who dragged the person out.
It's already quite remarkable that a teenager could pull an adult man out of a fire, so there's no reason to doubt why he used "dragging." It's also not surprising that Song Wanxing's feet were burned by the fire.
A fire left no trace, but the village chief's wife "enthusiastically" reported the situation to the police: Song Wanxing had been away from home for many years, and as soon as he returned, his wife ran away. Now the factory had inexplicably caught fire, and there must be something wrong with their family, a conspiracy.
Unable to reach a conclusion, the police had no choice but to take the Song brothers, along with Song Mingli, back to the police station.
Once Song Wanli was taken away, the family lost its leader. There was a lot of noise and the firelight illuminated half the sky. Qian Shuzhen had heard and seen everything from her room. She was extremely anxious and climbed off the bed, inch by inch, to the window.
Qian Shuzhen clung desperately to the window frame, dangling her head out as she saw her two sons and grandson being taken away by the police. "No! Wanli, Wanxing!" she cried out, trying to stop them, but it was too noisy outside, and no one heard her. Qian Shuzhen then pounded on the window with one hand, but her other hand wasn't strong enough, and she fell to the ground, unnoticed by anyone outside.
When Song Yali ran in, wanting to ask her grandmother for advice, Qian Shuzhen was already on the verge of collapse. "Third brother, quick, quick, go and ask Grandpa to come and see, Grandma, Grandma has fallen."
Song Mingfu ran as fast as he could towards the barefoot doctor's house, thinking as he ran: "My great-grandfather is our paternal grandfather, and his medical skills are quite good. As long as he comes, Grandma will be alright."
Song Yali and Yi Dani carried Qian Shuzhen to the bed, and Yi Dani went to fetch warm water to wipe her down.
Qian Shuzhen held Yali's hand tightly, staring at her anxiously, unable to speak. It turned out that she was so anxious that she really couldn't speak.
Song Yali knew what her grandmother was worried about and what she wanted to ask, but she didn't know how to say it, so she could only let her grandmother hold her and hold back her tears.
The family was in chaos. Song Yali and Song Mingfu usually seemed very strong, but they were just children after all, not even finished elementary school, and hadn't experienced much in life.
Just as I was in complete disarray, I heard someone outside calling, "Mingfu, Mingfu!"
"Master Gao? Master Gao!" Song Yali hurriedly answered loudly. 'Thump thump thump' footsteps came from outside. Seeing Gao Hao, Song Yali's tense nerves relaxed, and she said in a tearful voice, "Master, the house is on fire! My dad and brother have been taken away by the police! What should we do? Grandma... Grandma fell down... Waaah..."
"Yali, don't cry. Have you called a doctor?" Gao Haoran looked at Qian Shuzhen's ashen face, her condition was very bad. The person who was taken away by the police was not in a hurry.
Song Yali replied, "Second brother went to call Great-Grandpa!"
Soon, Song Mingfu, carrying his great-grandfather's medicine box, rushed in from outside the door, shouting, "Yali, don't cry, great-grandfather is here." Gao Haoran quickly stepped aside.
Dr. Song was getting on in years, and after a hurried rush, he entered the room, panting, and rushed to the bedside to take his pulse.
Everyone stared at him nervously, not daring to make a sound. Dr. Song examined Qian Shuzhen's eyes again, and after a while, Dr. Song asked, "Mingfu, where are your father and the others? Call them all over."
"Grandpa!" Song Mingfu called out, and Dr. Song realized what was happening.
"Sister-in-law, I'll have Dani get you some ginseng slices to boil in water. Relax, it's nothing serious. I'll go find Wanli for you." Dr. Song rummaged through the bottom of his medicine box and pulled out a few ginseng slices, handing them to Yi Dani. Then he winked at Song Mingfu and left Qian Shuzhen's room.
