But even though the two old men, Wei, wanted money rather than their lives, they failed to recover their family fortune in the end and were dragged out by their son and daughter-in-law.
After coming out, Mrs. Wei started crying. Their home was gone. It was still raining heavily and it was getting dark. What should the big family do?
The Wei family members who were soaked in the rain were frightened and desperate. Somehow, Wei Erlang suddenly remembered Wei Dalang. The day when Wei Dalang was kicked out of the house was like this day. She refused to let him stay at home, so she hurriedly had him carried to the deserted house.
Was Wei Dalang feeling as desperate and terrified that day as he is now? No, maybe more desperate? After all, his legs were seriously injured and he couldn't move at all...
Wei Erlang suddenly thought, will there really be retribution? They drove Wei Dalang away on such a rainy day, so God also destroyed their home on such a rainy day? Displace them?
"Dad, what should we do now?" Wei Erlang asked Old Wei in confusion.
Old Man Wei was in a state of despair. When he heard his son ask this question, he came back to his senses and said, "Find, find a place to take shelter from the rain."
"Where can I take shelter from the rain?" Wei Erlang looked frustrated and wiped the rain off his face.
Several of Old Man Wei's daughters-in-law were already holding several children and howling. Old Man Wei saw the family in a state of distress in the heavy rain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the neighbors and ask if we can be allowed." Stay one night."
Wei Erlang and Wei Sanlang went to knock on the doors of several neighbors.
Fortunately, although the neighbors usually can't stand the ruthless behavior of Old Man Wei's family, they saw that they encountered such a big event that their house was destroyed by lightning. The family was old and young, and it was raining heavily outside. If they really ignored it, someone might die, so several neighbors took the family in.
When Wei Qi came back from outside, half of his clothes were wet. Huo Shichu asked him doubtfully: "Where have you been when it rains so heavily? Your clothes are all wet. Are you not afraid of getting sick?"
Wei Qi smiled and said hurriedly: "I'm going to see if there is any leakage in the firewood shed and whether the firewood has gotten wet. Fortunately, it's not... I'm going to change clothes now."
After closing the door, the smile on Wei Qi's face disappeared. He raised his hands, and fine blue lightning twined and flickered on his slender fingers, like a jumping snake. As soon as he made a fist with his hands, the lightning disappeared. .
The thunder outside was still loud, and lightning flashed across the dark sky, lighting up most of the village...
Wei Qi looked happily at the familiar lightning and thunder outside the window. He had finally avenged Wei Dalang's revenge.
"Have you changed your clothes? The food is almost cold!" Huo Shichu's clear and sweet voice interrupted Wei Qi's thoughts, and Wei Qi's deep and obscure eyes suddenly became cool and clear.
He responded: "It's almost ready, you don't have to wait for me, just eat first!"
It rained heavily all night and stopped in the morning. People in the village began to get busy. So the news that the Wei family's big house was turned into ruins by lightning was discovered at once, and spread around the world in the blink of an eye. to the village.
Many people even went out to watch the excitement.
"Tsk, tsk, you must have done so much to be struck by lightning like this." A grumpy woman said with her tongue.
"God can't bear to see it. This is retribution. Whoever prevented their family from being virtuous deserves it!" Another aunt who was not dealing with Mrs. Wei said happily.
"I heard that this big brick house was built with Wei Dalang's salary when he went to war. They didn't let Wei Dalang live in it, so his family took it over. He deserves it. Sure enough, God sees everything. Here, look at God, won't he seek justice for Wei Dalang?" Other old people also whispered to their companions.
"The sky is thundering! How many immoral things have these Wei family members done?!"
"Even if it was struck by lightning, it wouldn't be like this, right? It looks dark, as if it had been burned by fire..."
"It was raining heavily last night, how could there be a fire? Even if there was a fire, it should be extinguished by the rain soon, right?"
"But that fire was very strange. I saw it with my own eyes, and even the heavy rain couldn't put it out!"
"It seems to be God's will... I just say don't do too much as a human being, and take everything one step at a time, otherwise you will suffer retribution. Let's see if the retribution of the Wei family is coming..."
"The Wei family has done a great evil! God is going to take away their good fortune. They will still have to suffer in the future..." said the old man who believed in karma.
"Oh my God! Our family is gone! How can the whole family live..." Old Mrs. Wei finally came out from her neighbor's house, threw herself into the ruins and howled loudly. The other Wei family members also looked at the ruins in despair and confusion. I don't know what to do.
The house is the most important property in a farmer's life and the foundation of his or her foundation. But now the big house that everyone once envied in the Wei family is gone.
Old Man Wei burst into tears and lost his mind. He looked really pitiful, but everyone knew what he was like. Thinking of how he would add insult to injury to his own son and how he wished to kill him, they felt that there must be something hateful about this poor man. He It's all deserved to end up like this.
Wei Qi looked at the mourning family in the crowd, and expressionlessly picked up the wild boar and headed to town. He was busy making money to build a new house, and he had no time to watch the excitement.
In the end, the unlucky Wei family was also arranged by the village chief to live in an abandoned house in the village. Unfortunately, that abandoned house was much more abandoned and dilapidated than the one Wei Qi and Huo Shichu lived in now. There was a big hole in the roof and the walls were rickety. , and because it rained heavily last night, the house was filled with water...
"How can such a house be inhabited?" Wei Erlang blurted out and asked as soon as he saw the appearance of this deserted house.
Village Chief Hu said angrily: "This abandoned house looks decent, but the rest are almost in ruins. If you don't want to live here, just find a place to live by yourself. I'm not that big." I can find a good house for you to live in."
Wei Sanlang was deeper in the city. Seeing that the village chief was unhappy, he quickly said with a smile: "Village Chief, don't be offended. My second brother said the wrong thing because he was hit too hard by losing his house. Our whole family is very grateful to you." help."
After hearing what he said, Village Chief Hu's face became less ugly and he said: "Although this house is a bit dilapidated, it can still be lived in with some repairs. You three men can patch up the roof and walls so that it can keep out the wind and rain." That’s it. If you really can’t get used to it, you can build a new house yourself!”
Village Chief Hu said so, but he didn't think that the Wei family could build another new house. The money they had squeezed out of Dalang Wei would have been spent long ago, otherwise Old Man Wei and Wei The mother-in-law will not be in such a state of despair now. After the house was struck by lightning, she seemed to have lost half of her life.
If they still have a family, can they be beaten to the point of collapse?
