What are you most afraid of when opening a hotel?

Answer, fire.

Fire and water are ruthless, let your guests have unlimited scenery, and a fire can burn a fine light.

Zhao You smelled the smell of gasoline, his face suddenly turned white with fright, and he didn't care about calling the police, and shouted urgently: "Yu Xin!

Zhao You's daughter-in-law was busy packing up money at the counter at the door, and when she heard his panicked voice, she hurriedly ran in.

"Do you smell anything?"

"What...... Ahh

Yu Xin's reaction was a little slow, she just asked something, and then reacted, for a while, the six gods had no master, and there was only one sentence in her mouth, "Do it, do it......"

She was in a hurry, and even the hometown dialect that she rarely said came out.

Zhao You performed slightly better than her, stabilized his mind, and asked her, "Is the door locked?"

"It's locked, Lao Zhao, think about it!"

"Hurry up and open the door!"

"Huh?"

"Hurry up!"

Zhao You pushed Yu Xin, didn't care about the explanation, ran straight upstairs, and shouted loudly as he ran: "It's on fire, it's on fire!"

Zhao You's daughter-in-law also reacted at this time and shouted.

No matter what the situation is now, human life is the most important thing, if the money is robbed, it can be earned again, if the person dies, it will be all over!

The guests of the hotel were already awakened by the noise outside, and many of them were climbing on the windowsill to look out, when they heard someone shouting that there was a fire, and immediately panicked, some were busy packing their luggage, and some simply ran out wrapped in sheets.

As soon as Zhao You rushed to the second floor, several people ran out of the corridor, scrambling to push me one by one, almost knocking Zhao You downstairs.

When I went up to the second floor, the smell of gasoline became stronger and stronger, and it was clearly wafting out of the corridor.

Zhao You didn't take a few steps inside, the door at the end of the corridor opened, and a woman walked out with a wet sheet in her hand.

The pungent smell came to his face, and Zhao You immediately reacted to what was drenched on the bed sheet, and he shouted as he walked: "What are you going to do?!"

"Don't come here!"

The woman shouted at Zhao You, and then raised her hand.

The lights in the corridor were dim, and it was impossible to see what she was holding in her hand, but looking at her gestures, Zhao You instinctively realized that she must be holding a lighter.

"Don't mess around!

Zhao You stretched out his hands and slowly stepped back, and at this moment, an angry shout came from behind him.

"Lu Mei!"

Zhao You looked back and found that it was an old man with gray hair who made the sound.

……

The person who came was none other than Zhao Baozheng.

Zhao Baozheng has been frightened since the moment he learned that Zhao Min was lost, and now when he sees Lu Mei, the anger in his heart can no longer be suppressed.

Seeing that Zhao Bao was about to go inside, three voices rang out in no particular order.

"Don't come here!"

"Don't go over!"

"Wait a minute!"

Li Yuan gasped, hugged Zhao Baozheng's waist, and stopped Zhao Baozheng with Zhao You. Although the two of them worked together, they were still taken by Zhao Baozheng.

Anyway, Zhao Baozheng finally calmed down a little, and after seeing the situation clearly, he stopped and shouted at Lu Mei: "Lu Mei, where is Zhao Min? Is Zhao Min with you?"

Zhao Baozheng asked several times in a row, but Lu Mei didn't respond, and it could be seen from her trembling body that she was very emotional now.

At this time, more and more people rushed up, including Han Zheng, the innkeeper's lady and Zhao Baozheng's apprentices.

Li Yuan was afraid that so many people would further stimulate Lu Mei, so he hurriedly said to Han Zheng: "Uncle Han, let everyone go down!"

Han Zheng's reaction was also very fast, and he hurriedly stopped the others, and said in a suppressed voice: "Let's go, let's go out!"

"Zhao Min, Zhao Min!"

Zhao Baozheng saw that Lu Mei did not react, and shouted again.

"Stop shouting. ”

Lu Mei suddenly spoke, "She fell asleep, and she couldn't hear you when you called her." ”

Zhao Baozheng asked, "What happened to her?"

Lu Mei stopped talking again.

Zhao Baozheng was about to ask again, Li Yuan pulled him, waved his hand at him, and then took half a step forward and said to Lu Mei: "Aunt Lu, I am Li Yuan, do you remember me?"

Lu Mei still didn't speak.

Li Yuan tried his best to suppress his anxiety, and said as calmly as possible: "Aunt Lu, I don't know what you want to do, but Zhao Min is your daughter after all......"

It was probably the word daughter that stimulated Lu Mei's nerves, and she finally spoke.

"Daughter?hehehe...... Daughter ......"

Lu Mei laughed nervously.

Although her reaction was very abnormal, Li Yuan was somewhat relieved in her heart, at least she spoke.

He followed Lu Mei's words and said, "Yes, she is your daughter, your biological daughter......"

"No!" Lu Mei suddenly shouted like crazy: "She's not, she's not my daughter, she's the devil!"

Lu Mei shouted "She is the devil" several times, and her emotions became more and more excited.

Li Yuan bit his lip fiercely, trying to calm himself down. The more this is the case, the more we can't panic, and we can't rush to persuade us, otherwise it is likely to be counterproductive.

He can basically be sure now that Zhao Min must be in the room at the end, and she must also be drenched with gasoline, and if she doesn't do it well, an irreparable tragedy will happen.

What Li Yuan can think of, Zhao Baozheng can also think of. He estimated the distance, it was about ten meters from where he was standing to Lu Mei's side, and there was little certainty of rushing up to control the person.

No matter how sure he is, as long as there is a trace of risk, Zhao Baozheng does not dare to bet, after all, it is his daughter lying in the room.

Listening to Lu Mei's mouthful of devils, Zhao Baozheng, who was in a state of turmoil, couldn't help it, and said sharply: "Enough, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Baozheng opened his mouth, and Li Yuan felt bad.

In his previous life, he had read a post on a forum in which the poster, who claimed to be an expert negotiator, mentioned some taboos in the process of dissuading suicides, one of which was to never ask the other party "what do you want to do".

You can ask him what happened, you can ask him how he feels, but you must not ask him what he wants to do, because this sentence has a strong inducement, and if an emotionally unstable person listens to it, it will provoke him to commit suicide.

The same applies in the present context.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Baozheng's words, Lu Mei laughed out loud and shouted with a smile: "I want her to die!"

She said that she was about to light a fire.

When Li Yuan saw her movements, the hairs on his body stood up, and countless thoughts flashed through his head in an instant, and then he shouted sharply: "Karma can't be burned!"

Lu Mei stopped and asked, "What did you say?"

Bet right.

Li Yuan felt his whole body soften, and he almost drained the strength of his whole body at that moment just now.

Anyway, the result was good, and he finally diverted Lu Mei's attention.

It was too late to be afraid, so he quickly adjusted his emotions and said as calmly as possible: "I said that if you do this, the karma will not be eliminated." ”

Repeating a sentence, without waiting for Lu Mei to speak, Li Yuan immediately asked, "Aunt Lu, do you believe in Buddhism?"

"You also believe in Buddhism?" Lu Mei asked him rhetorically.

"Of course, I am a close disciple of Venerable Yuanzhen, do you know that Venerable Yuanzhen is a very famous Buddhist master in our country......

Li Yuan said openly, with a solemn expression, looking like that.

"Master Yuanzhen, it sounds a little familiar......" Lu Mei frowned slightly, where did she hear it in her memory, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"You don't even know about Master Yuanzhen?!"

Li Yuan pretended to be surprised, and there was even some reproach in his tone.

He didn't give Lu Mei a chance to think, nodded and said, "That's right, Master Yuanzhen is far away from the world and doesn't stir up dust, it's understandable that you don't know." Speaking of which, Li Yuan didn't care if Lu Mei could see it or not, and said regretfully in line with the attitude of doing a full set of acts: "Actually, I haven't seen the master for several years, Senior Brother Shilin said that the master is fine, and I don't know if it's true or not......

"Wait!" Lu Mei interrupted Li Yuan and asked, "What's your senior brother's name?"

"Li Shilin. ”

"You said he was your senior brother?" Lu Mei asked in a trembling voice.

Li Yuan listened to her tone and knew that she had fallen into the trap, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"You...... You're not lying to me, are you?"

Lu Mei calmed down a little, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that she won't make crazy moves without warning, and the disadvantage is that while her brain is clear, she becomes more suspicious.

"Why should I lie to you?"

Li Yuan asked rhetorically, then quietly stepped on Zhao Baozheng with his foot, and suddenly shouted: "Don't retreat!"

After finishing speaking, he added softly: "Windows." ”

Zhao Baozheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding, turned around and pulled the innkeeper next to him downstairs.

When they left, Li Yuan had been observing Lu Mei and found that her raised arm had not been lowered, which showed that her vigilance was still very strong.

When everyone left, Li Yuan laughed and said, "Alas, I can't practice this mantra at home, and I'm still far worse than my senior brother......

Although Lu Mei is crazy, she is not stupid, and she will not be fooled by Li Yuan's words, but when she saw Zhao Baozheng retreating, her heart relaxed a little.

"Master Li is really your senior brother?" Lu Mei returned to the question just now.

Li Yuan didn't answer, but asked, "The Master Li you are talking about, is it the layman Li Shilin, whose legal name is Li Lin?"

"What common name?"

Not surprisingly, Lu Mei's train of thought was really deviated.

"The common name is the secular name, and the Dharma name is the name of the monks, also called the Dharma name. Li Yuanxu said matter-of-factly: "Li, not the surname Li Li, but the plum tree, the master first met the senior brother, in the plum forest, saw that he had the light of the Buddha, so he gave him the Dharma name Li Lin." Of course, there is another reason for this. ”

Li Yuan said this and stopped.

"What is the reason?" Lu Mei couldn't help but ask.

"Because of the five elements. Senior brother's five elements belong to wood and have wood virtue, so the master named him 'Lin', and my five elements belong to water, so ......"

"So your name is Li Yuan. ”

Yes, they will rush to answer.

Despite the crisis, Li Yuan still felt a little funny.

Now the laughter is all over.

In order to further relieve Lu Mei's defense, Li Yuan simply sat on the ground and said: "Aunt Lu should have heard about me during the time she came to Yingzhou, I opened an Internet café some time ago and made a lot of money. ”

Lu Mei nodded subconsciously.

While investigating Zhao Min's whereabouts, she also learned a lot about Li Yuan by the way, not only knowing that he opened an Internet café, but also knowing that he had brought down the previous mayor, combined with his speech and demeanor, it was really hard to believe that he was still a junior high school student.

Under the addition of all kinds of mysteries, Lu Mei believed Li Yuan's words more and more.

Li ...... Master Li, you just said that karma can't be eliminated?"

Lu Mei no longer bothered about Li Yuan's identity, and instead asked what Li Yuan had said before.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Yuan knew that she had been fooled and lame.

The next step is to delay as much time as possible.

Li Yuan smiled slightly, and said endlessly: "Buddhism pays attention to seeking the Dharma in the heart, as the so-called impossibility outside the heart, no heart outside the law, and demonic obstacles and karma are all born from the heart. In fact, your problem is not serious, you have karma in your heart, once it is eliminated, whether it is life or practice, it will be smooth sailing from now on, but you are one point wrong - Zhao Min is not karma, and it is impossible to eliminate your karma if you kill her, if you really do that, it will lead to the invasion of external demons and become inner demons, and at that time, I am afraid that even my senior brother and master will not be able to save you......"
