I was angry and wanted to pull my hand back immediately, but before I could use much force, Rowena stumbled and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Hadwin was naturally distressed. “Are you done? This is a fire, can you stop hitting people at every turn! If Rowena calls the police, you will go to jail, you know?”

Rowena shook her head. “I’m fine, I’m fine, I accidentally fell down, This is really a misunderstanding, Hadwin and I are not dating. I just passed by here and found that the house was on fire, so I contacted Hadwin and Hadwin accompanied me here to wait for the fire truck. I really didn’t mean it…”

Hadwin was even more angry. “Look at you, look at Rowena, you are completely different from her! Why did I marry a shrew like you? Get back quickly, don’t show up in front of me. Don’t embarrass yourself here and affect the firefighting!”

I was so angry that I almost fainted on the spot.

After taking several deep breaths, I finally found my voice. “Hadwin, what are you crazy about? Do you really think you are a hot commodity? I don’t want a rotten cucumber like you! And you!” I looked at Rowena beside me. “Hadwin and I have signed a divorce agreement a long time ago. We are just waiting for the cooling-off period to get the divorce certificate. Don’t act here. If you dare to do this to me again in the future, I will not be so good-tempered.”

Hadwin and Rowena were stunned for a moment, as if they didn’t expect me to say that. Their faces were not very good. Hadwin stammered, “In this case, why did you call me?”

“I called you because the old house at home caught fire!” I was so angry that if Hadwin hadn’t asked, I would have forgotten my purpose.

Hadwin frowned and before he could speak, Rowena said first, “Fire is not a joke. Do you know how many disasters a fire may bring?”

Were you saying that I was lying? What a good way of putting the blame on someone else. I tried to calm myself down, but my voice was still trembling, “Hadwin! Don’t you understand? I called the fire truck and it was your Rowena who deliberately stopped it just to let the fire spread at home! Now many neighbors in the village are fighting the fire, but you are here flirting with this bitch? Do you think I should hit you again?”

Hadwin looked confused and still didn’t seem to believe it.

I was too lazy to talk to him, so I raised the cordon in front of me and wanted to bend down and walk in to explain to the firefighters. But I was directly held by Hadwin and Rowena on the left and right.

I turned my head angrily. “Let go of me. I don’t have time to play with you here. The fire doesn’t wait for anyone!”

Hadwin saw that I didn’t look like I was joking and quickly let go of my hand.

But Rowena refused to let go, looked at Hadwin pitifully and said, “Hadwin, how can fires be so common? How can it be such a coincidence that when there is a fire here, your house will also catch fire?”

In fact, I also wanted to say this. There were very few people in the village, almost no one. Everyone only came back during the holidays. Especially this small house, which had been abandoned for more than ten years. How could it catch fire inexplicably?

Was it possible?

I was a little suspicious, but before I could figure it out, Rowena continued, “Although you said you didn’t mind, you slapped Hadwin as soon as you saw him. It’s clear that you still care. You must have discovered that there is a small forest not far from this small house, so you deliberately wanted to take the firefighters away, because you just wanted to burn the small forest!”

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.”

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!”
