The fire was quite large, and it took a long time to extinguish it, and the beams of the house that had been painstakingly built for several days were not badly damaged, but no one was injured, which is a blessing in misfortune. Merry and the people who came to fight the fire nearby trampled on the shattered rubble, their heads covered in soot, and the servants in the yamen were looking around to check the situation.

Last night, it rained heavily, and the carpentry did not make a fire to cook for a hundred days, everyone was eating in Meige Xuan, and it stands to reason that there could be no fire, and the flames had jumped to the top in an instant, obviously there must be something strange in it, but the messenger looked around and said that he had not found any traces of arson, but said that he had not paid attention to the hidden dangers during the day, which would cause the fire in the house, fortunately, there was no involvement in the neighborhood, otherwise Meige Xuan would not escape the involvement.

The people nearby were indignant, but the merry man smiled to himself, and said coldly: "The officials are very right, but my Mei Gexuan is at fault first, fortunately, I didn't affect others, from now on, I will pay attention to the surrounding situation, if you see someone sneaky here, with bad intentions, you will be ruthless." ”

The public case of the disappearance of the two uncles of the Liu family has not been solved until now, and the two families disappeared cleanly overnight, which is a well-known thing in White Horse Town.

Those few errand officers felt chills in their backs when they heard this, but Qin Zhutou had already explained before he came, there was no need to make a big deal about this matter, and he could cover it if he could. So those people stiffened their necks for a while, and left vaguely. Seeing Lin An hurrying back with Mei Xiaoxi and Bai Yan, he raised his hand and let a few people go back to the store.

"This fire will not burn for no reason, the yamen does not say anything, I think that someone has already said hello. ”

"Officials and bandits collude, but for what?" Mei Xiaoxi was angry in her heart, and sat on the bench with a hard ass. Bai Yan glanced at Merry with a solemn expression, and replied meaningfully: "The people can understand the meaning if they are literate, and they can fight for more things if they understand the meaning, since ancient times, the people of chaos are the easiest to control, has the proprietress ever seen anyone obstruct the opening of a tea shop and winery in this town?"

"Hiss-" Mei Xiaoxi gasped and understood the meaning of Bai Yan's words: "You mean, this is very likely to be a thief's act to catch a thief?"

"The house burned down and could be rebuilt, and they chose to do it at nightfall, not because they didn't want to make too much trouble, but they just wanted to warn us not to continue. ”

"That ......" Mei Xiaoxi was a little uncertain, she was not afraid of what the government would really do to Mei Gexuan, she just felt that these two young people had just established themselves in the town, and they didn't want to cause too much trouble, but she didn't know what the identities of the two people in front of her were, what kind of storms they had experienced, and how they moved forward bravely in adversity, so when her worries just appeared, Bai Yan smiled slightly and said firmly: " Although the proprietress can rest assured, Bai Yan will not choose to back down because of such a small setback, running a school is what Flawless thinks, and it is also what Bai Yan wants. Since the other party is so afraid of the world's reasoning, how can we live up to their spur. Not only that, but I will also teach the children who come to read and write martial arts for free, so that they can not only strengthen their bodies, but also serve the country and serve the people when the country needs it in the future. ”

"Okay, this is good!" Mei Xiaoxi clapped her hands and stood up: "Good boy, from tomorrow, our Mei Ge Xuan will be closed for half a month, and we will fully support you to build this school." She said impassionedly, one foot was about to step on the stool, Merry glanced at her coldly, hooked the stool, she almost fell down with one foot in the air, a little depressed, but Merry raised her eyebrows, and said clearly: "You are not so generous, yes, you don't want the idea of selling yourself flawlessly, from now on, I don't want my salary this year, and I should return the money to you for the two of them." ”

Mei Xiaoxi was exposed by him, and touched his nose to cover up: "I said it so rawly, I don't fight flawless ideas, I don't fight, I don't fight." ”

Lin An was already very excited when he heard Bai Yan say that he taught martial arts, and at this moment, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "I don't want any wages anymore, I don't want it this year, I just want to let me know literature and martial arts when the school starts, and I can join the army to kill the enemy in the future, and also go to the battlefield!"

Before he finished speaking, Mei Xiaoxi grabbed his ears and said viciously: "What kind of battlefield to go to, isn't it enough to be a person who is afraid of death! You can study, you can learn kung fu, you can also contribute your little salary to the old lady, just a little, and you are no longer allowed to say bad words about killing the enemy and killing your life, and I will cut off your ears again, so as not to have the face to see your mother in the future." ”

"Yo yo yo-" Lin An grinned and shouted, tears were about to fall in pain, and he didn't dare to respond when he was reprimanded by Mei Xiaoxi, so he only looked at Bai Yan pitifully, Bai Yan smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll promise it for Flawless." ”

On the second day, construction proceeded as usual, and the fire did not stop the progress, but instead allowed more people to come to their aid. Many people came to the door early to wait for the start of work, and at night, the people nearby strengthened their vigilance, and got up to check when they heard the wind and grass, which made Qin Gao very depressed. He didn't expect that this would prompt the people of the town to unite, and what was even more unexpected to him was that Shi Yuzheng also joined the team to build the school, from the second day of the fire, he took a group of subordinates to run to Meige Xuan and refused to leave, carrying shoulders and carrying pots to deliver tea, those subordinates were driven by him to keep their feet from touching the ground, and he himself was running around with his hands behind his back, and kept inquiring about the whereabouts of Flawless. Mei Xiaoxi knew that he was not a drunkard, but he was the son of the county guard, and he was beaten so badly by Flawless that day and didn't bring anyone to toss, so he wouldn't be embarrassed by Mei Gexuan, so it was up to him.

Flawless recuperated in Baishui, Bai Yan lived in Meige Xuan every day, got up early to see Flawless and went back to Meige Xuan to greet guests, and saw Shi Yuzheng also asked about his origin in his spare time, Mei Xiaoxi told him about what happened that day, he saw Shi Yuzheng's eyes were still green, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and didn't care about him, but Shi Yuzheng was particularly interested in him, and followed him around for a few days, seeing that he got along with everyone so harmoniously, he actually rose with envy, and he had to be mixed with him as a brother. One day, Shi Yuzheng was bored and asked him to inquire about the news of Flawless, so he called him over badly, and pressed Shi Yuzheng into the water tank in the backyard, Shi Yuzheng finally climbed out after several struggles, and Bai Yan squatted under the steps with a smile and told him that one day he could beat himself, and then he had the idea of beating Flawless.

Shi Yuzheng is not stupid, he knows that Bai Yan has a lot to do with Flawless, and he also knows that he is not Bai Yan's opponent, so he is not arrogant, he only hummed and said as he ran: "Hmph, don't be complacent, I will not give up, when the Flawless Son starts to give lectures, I will come to listen every day, you can prevent me for a while, but you can't prevent me for a lifetime! Ouch——" As soon as the words fell, he stumbled into the lobby, and fell into the dog in front of everyone, Bai Yan laughed so much that tears came out, and he felt that although he was a gentleman, he had no taste of domineering, a little stupid and not too bad, so he no longer embarrassed him.

Flawless recuperated for another two days, and when his body was completely healed, he returned to the small bamboo building, and when Bai Yan was away, he sorted out the books sent by Wuwei Zhai for future teaching. Mo Mo and Mo Li often come to see him, Mo Mo is innocent and very cute, Mo Li is still an indifferent teenager, he also secretly came to look at it a few times when he taught Mo Mo to write, and after being discovered, he ran downstairs to hoe the ground, saying that he would plant cabbage and radish in the ground in front of the bamboo building, and he could also sell it in the market in the future, in fact, Flawless knew that he was using this way to thank himself for allowing his brother and sister to enter the hall to study, thinking that although he was poor, he knew how to repay the favor and did what he could, and he cherished his brother and sister more and more in his heart。 When he was free, he taught Mo Li some of the mental techniques and light skills of breathing, Mo Li learned very quickly, and was extremely serious, and after doing farm work every day, he practiced the art of leaping in front of and behind the hut, and sat in front of the steps with Mo Mo, looking at the little boy who jumped between the branches and trees, and couldn't help but think of his former self......

The self that was floating in the sea of power and blood seemed to be getting farther and farther away......

The years are quiet, I hope that I can go on like this!
