One night a long time ago, a group of masked robbers broke into a wealthy family. The host and his wife were dragged out of bed, trembling with fright.
"Decide, quickly hand over the keys to the cabinet doors and cages!" The robbers raised their swords to their master's throat. The blade flashed with the cold light of death.
The host and his wife did not dare to be negligent, and trembled to find a bunch of keys on the dresser. The robbers immediately dispersed into various rooms and rummaged through the cabinets. Immediately, the bedroom, hall, study… were all in a mess.
At that time, a little girl was very angry when she saw this and made a plan. She pretended to be very scared and cried to the robber who was on guard: "Uncle, I'm cold, I'm cold, let me go to the kitchen to warm up."
Seeing that the little girl was under ten years old and did not ask to go out, the robber didn't care and impatiently said, "Go!"
The little girl got the promise and immediately ran into the kitchen, locking the door. She took the flint, lit the oil lamp, and stuffed a few handfuls of rice wood into the stove to light the fire. Then she pushed open the window, jumped over the window into the backyard, and closed the window again.
The lookout robber walked to the kitchen door and peeked into the crack of the door, only to see a red light shining from the oil lamp. It was estimated that the little girl was squatting in front of the stove to keep warm, so she returned to the hall door to let the wind out.
The little girl came to the backyard and immediately knocked on a stone to start the fire, igniting the pile of straw near the wall. Suddenly, the flames rushed up. The fire borrowed the wind, and the wind helped the fire, and the sky in the backyard turned red.
People in the village woke up one after another. All of a sudden, the crowd surrounded the rich family: those carrying buckets, those holding poles…
The robbers who were searching for their belongings heard the noise outside and suddenly realized that they wanted to flee, but it was too late, and they were all captured alive by the villagers.
The villagers all praised the little girl's resourceful wisdom.
