Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 631 Fire in the fields

　　Lin Yan was stunned but Su wan was simply stupefied as she stared at the fields that were on fire because it wasn't just a field that was burning but it was her months of hard work that was burning with the fire as well. She stared at the field for a few seconds before she shouted at the top of her lungs, " HELP! SOMEONE HELP! MY FIELD IS ON FIRE! SOMEONE!"

　　The villagers who were sleeping inside the house were startled by her screams and Feng Zhai too rushed to wake the people so that they can help him in dousing the fire while Feng Dai rushed to the Lin house to wake the Lin brothers and bring them here as soon as he could, Lin Yan, on the other hand, started to pick a huge pile of sand from the ground and started hurling it down in the path of the fire to stop it from spreading while everyone was doing something Su Wan looked around her fields as she was sure that whoever did it must have left some sort of evidence behind given that the fire didn't start for long and only started a few minutes ago. 

　　Or else her entire field would have been on fire by now. 

　　While she was looking around, she noticed a black figure crouching in the bushes moving slowly as it retreated without making a sound. With just one glimpse, Su Wan knew that the person who was hiding like that must be the one who set her fields on fire and thus immediately shouted, " Hey! You beast! You stop there, here and now! Don't you dare to move!"

　　But she shouldn't have shouted because the second she shouted the other person not only did not stop but also started to run, Su Wan cursed herself for being too stupid and then rushed after the figure with a speed that was a bit too dangerous for a pregnant woman. 

　　When Lin Yan heard Su Wan's shout he was prepared to run after the figure himself but before he could do that, Su Wan was already running after the figure, causing his heart to jump in his throat as he rushed after his wife he screamed after her, " Stop Wan Wan, you are pregnant! Stop before you hurt yourself!" 

　　But Su Wan was too far away and couldn't listen to a word that he was saying,  Lin Yan cursed as he increased his pace and then sped after his wife, he needed to stop her before she hurts herself in one way or another and with the speed that she was running, it goes without saying that the risk of her getting hurt wasn't small either. " Su Wan!!! Stop! Stop!" 

　　Behind them, the villagers and Feng Zhai started to stop the fire. The fire was too violent and whoever was behind it, has left no chance for recuperation for the fields because the entire field was doused with oil, thus it was even harder for them to stop the fire. 

　　" Everyone get as much sand as you can and wet it before throwing it," shouted the Village head Luo as he ordered the villagers using his authority as the village head. Since he was the authoritative figure of the village, the villagers immediately started to do what they were doing and then they started to collect the sand in their buckets and poured water on it but before throwing it in the fire they existed, " Village head should we really do it? The crops seemed so frail when we saw it last time, if we throw wet sand on it the creepers might just get crushed." 

　　" Do you not see how big the fire is? If we don't stop it now then the Lin family will lose the entire field worth of crops that a few mu," said Village head Luo as he immediately asked the villagers to throw the sand but when he saw that the villagers were still hesitating, he shouted loudly, " Just do it if the Lin brothers blame us for crushing their crops, I will take the responsibility! At this moment, our objective isn't to save the crops but instead, the goal is to minimise the damage as much as we can, so throw it down!" 

　　After hearing that they wouldn't be blamed for ruining the crops, the villagers immediately started pouring the wet sand on the flaming fire dousing it more and more. 

　　When the Lin brothers arrived with Feng Dai, the speed of the villagers faltered and they all turned to look at Village head Luo who felt really amused did they think that he will shirk taking the responsibility?

　　With lips twitching he looked at his villagers and then turned to look at the Lin brothers and said a bit apologetically, " I am really sorry about this but the fire was too big and we had no choice——"

　　" We don't blame you, Village head Luo," said Lin Jing as he too started to pick the sand and pour it into the bucket that he was carrying before throwing it on the fire. " You did what was for the best, we cannot say anything against it. If anything we are grateful that you saved the rest of our crops with  your quick thinking." 

　　Seeing that the Lin brothers were not taking issues with him, Village head Luo heaved a sigh of relief and then returned to doing what he was doing as he guided the villagers to pour the wet sand, after he was done guiding he too picked up a bucket and joined the villagers. 

　　While the Lin brothers were dousing the fire, Lin Chen looked around and asked, " Where is second brother and Wan Wan? I can't see them?" 

　　Lin Yu and Lin Jing looked up in a hurry while Shen Zizhen who arrived later with Shen Junxi immediately sent their men to look for Su Wan and Lin Yan. 

　　" I just hope they are all right," said Lin Jing as he worriedly looked at the men who were rushing out to find Lin Yan and Su Wan.
