Chapter 50 Fire in the Backyard
It doesn't matter if he eats it.
For a family like theirs, anything that can be bought with money is not a big deal, and they can just twist their ears and curse a few times and forget about it.
But after listening to the lecture, the child was so excited that he wanted to learn about "The Destruction of Opium at Humen" from a documentary.
He worked hard all night, and the next day he started to work, piling the wine soaked in tobacco in the backyard, intending to burn it all.
You have to know that the opium that was destroyed in Humen was YP.
They are all pulled to the seaside, a pit is dug, filled with sea water, and then mixed with quicklime and brine, stirred evenly and left for a few days.
When it is almost completely corroded, it will all be dumped into the sea.
It's not as simple as just setting it on fire.
Otherwise, once the smoke came out, all the accompanying soldiers and local people would be so drunk.
But Wei Shaoqing was just a little kid, with only a half-full bottle, how could he know so much?
Just go over with your lighter and light it.
The main ingredients of red wine are water, acid, sugar and alcohol. Under normal circumstances, it is non-flammable and non-explosive.
But his father still had a few bottles of white stuff in his cabinet. This stuff was of high purity, and Wei Shaoqing was quite skilled. The red stuff was not easy to burn, so he changed the color.
As a result, the alcohol ignited immediately when it came into contact with fire. The flames jumped three feet high and immediately rushed into the house through the curtains of the second-floor balcony.
Fortunately, his father hadn't left yet. He was just packing up and getting in the car when he looked up and saw a fire in his backyard. He quickly called for people to put out the fire.
The driver who drove for Wei's father was originally a firefighter. He retired due to his old age and lack of physical strength, and was introduced by someone to drive for the Wei family.
Seeing this, he took the lead, grabbed two fire extinguishers from the trunk and rushed over, spraying them at the fire. He then asked people to open the fire hydrant, connected the water pipes and sprayed water around the second-floor windows to cool down the fire.
Thanks to his timely response and quick action, the fire was controlled and did not burn to other people's homes.
When the fire truck drove into the yard, three professional fire-fighting-grade high-pressure water guns were fired at that fire, and the fire was completely extinguished in ten minutes.
It is not enough for firefighters to put out a fire. They also have to investigate the fire to see where it started. If there are any problems, they must correct them in a timely manner to completely eliminate safety hazards.
This investigation exposed all of Wei Shaoqing's immoral deeds to the public.
Otherwise, it can be said that ignorance is bliss, and Wei Shaoqing was lucky because when the fire was burning, all the wine was poured out and the bottle was not ignited, otherwise it would have exploded.
If the house burns down, it won't be a big deal. He is close to the fire and will be the first to be affected. No one can say whether he will survive or not.
The old man in the Wei family was nostalgic and moved back to his hometown a few years ago. The fire broke out in the morning, when the servants were the busiest, but as soon as they heard the noise they all rushed over to put out the fire, and everyone was safe.
It is a blessing in disguise that there are no casualties.
Father Wei was busy putting out the fire just now, and now seeing the mess on the ground, he was furious and finally remembered to question Wei Shaoqing.
Who knew that Wei Shaoqing, seeing that the situation was not good, ran away without a trace.
Wei's father walked around the house with a big stick for a long time but couldn't find anyone. He looked down and saw a series of pitch-black footprints on the ground. He knew at a glance that they were left by Wei Shaoqing.
Immediately, he followed the footprints and caught up with them.
Young Master Wei was running wildly in front, and his father was chasing him closely behind. One was terrified, the other was furious. They were out of breath, and could not run fast. They kept running and stopping.
It was not until I met Bai Yuan that I knew everything that happened afterwards.
After Wei's father finished telling the story with a sad face, Bai Yuan looked at Wei Shaoqing with something strange in his eyes.
Not to mention that his father was going to beat him half to death, even she was so angry after hearing it that she wanted to help beat him up a few times to vent her anger.
She shouldn't have stopped him just now. She had to let his father kick him hard twice before he would learn his lesson.
Bai Yuangang had already told Wei Shaoqing in advance that when Wei's father came, he should bow his head, admit his mistakes, and reflect on them seriously.
Besides, he was not wronged in this matter. If it happened to any other child, he would have to eat some meals of stewed meat with rattan sticks, right?
At this moment, Wei Shaoqing looked at Bai Yuan as if he were a savior and obeyed him in everything. Not to mention asking him to bow his head and admit his mistake, he would even let him stick his butt out and get kicked twice.
"Dad, I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't play with fire at home, and I shouldn't touch your things casually. You can punish me, any way you want! I will give you all my New Year's money and pocket money, and help you clean the house for one month, two months! It's up to you how long! It's all up to you!"
When Wei's father heard this, he didn't want to scold him any more.
The purpose of beating him was to teach him a lesson, how could we just let it go without any punishment?
Now Wei Shaoqing admitted his mistake sincerely, and looking at his frightened look before, you can tell that this incident has left a deep impression on him, a shadow that will haunt him for the rest of his life, and he will never dare to make the same mistake again.
Moreover, he set up his own punishment plan, took the initiative to take responsibility for his mistakes and accepted the punishment. After this incident, the child made progress, became much more sensible, and finally began to grow up.
Since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to beat him up.
Father Wei's expression eased a little, but he still had to keep a serious face and maintain the situation: "Remember this lesson! If you dare to do it again, I will hang you with a rope at the gate of the compound, and beat you while everyone gathers around to watch! No one's pleas will be of any use then!"
Wei Shaoqing nodded vigorously: "Remember, remember! I won't dare to do it again even if you kill me!"
After sitting for such a long time, it was already getting late. Wei's father was supposed to work today, but who knew he would encounter such a thing before going out. Now that he has settled down, he has to rush back to handle official business. After saying goodbye to the old man of the Bai family, he is going to take Wei Shaoqing back.
Seeing this, Wei Shaoqing shrank his neck and hid behind Bai Yuan, refusing to leave no matter what he said: "Dad, you go back first... I, I will wait for two more days until my mom comes back... I'm afraid you will be upset and beat me again when you go back later."
Father Wei: ...
Father Wei thought about it carefully and it was true. Now half of the house was burned, the glass and other things were all exploded, and it was leaking everywhere. There was no place to live if he went back. The construction team would have to rebuild it before people could live in it.
The most important thing is that he was afraid that he would not be able to help but pull his son out of bed and give him a beating in the middle of the night.
How infuriating! This wicked child has to play with fire instead of playing with anything else!
His blood pressure started to soar at the thought, and Wei's father quickly stopped him, fearing that he would get so angry that he would not be able to control himself and beat him up.
From this we can see that Wei Shaoqing knew his father very well and understood his temperament and character, which is why he escaped another disaster.
His legs are lame now, and if he really gets beaten, he won't be able to run away even if he wants to!
