Chapter 103: Revenge
The wind at night was bitterly cold, but it was still no match for the sadness in my heart. The innkeeper cried heartily, who would have thought that the inn that he had been working so hard to run could be destroyed overnight.
At this moment, the raging fire burned Wu Zheng and the three of them speechless. Anyone knows that the inn was burned down for the three of them. And it's clear that someone did it on purpose, even using kerosene.
Fire oil, when it encounters fire, burns wildly. It has a wide range of applications in the military and has great destructive power.
It can be said that the group of people who lit the flame were extremely ruthless. This time period was deliberately chosen, and the sight at night was not good, so it was easier to get out. If it weren't for the dust, they might have been buried in this vast sea of fire.
Listening to the innkeeper's cry, Wu Zheng and the three couldn't help but hang their heads. This incident started because of them, and they should blame themselves.
The neighbors also ran out when they heard the movement, some of them exclaimed, and some of them were afraid. Some sympathize with the innkeeper, while others talk and laugh. The world is hot and cold, and the word at this moment reflects it very obviously.
Wu Zheng wanted to step forward to comfort him, but was stopped by the playboy reaching out. Wu Zheng sighed, looked at the sad innkeeper again, and finally had to give up. At this time, I believe that it is the best comfort to let the boss be alone.
Luochen looked at the horizon from afar, remembering what had just happened.
Luochen was drinking alone on the table when he suddenly heard movement outside. So, he hurried out. In front of me, there were a group of people dressed in black. Judging from the movements of the group of people, it looks like a group of men. The group was well disguised, and Dust never saw their faces.
From falling dust to hearing movement, to running out, it doesn't take a few breaths. However, in this short period of time, the group had already spilled the oil.
This group of people was also a little surprised when they saw the dust rushing out. But after all, he was trained and well planned, so he didn't panic too much. It was only a moment before they recovered. Then the group of men in black unanimously took out the fire fold, blew it, and threw it at the inn where the oil had just been splashed.
Luochen wanted to save it, but it was too late. As soon as the flame came into contact with the oil, it burst into flames. Several ignition points caught fire together, and even if the dust fell into the sky, it could not be recovered. In desperation, he had no choice but to let go of the man in black who had escaped and go back to save the innkeeper and Wu Zheng.
Next, the innkeeper, Wu Zheng and the playboy ran out one after another. But when Luochen wanted to chase again, the person had already disappeared. On the ground, there are still wooden barrels containing used fire oil. Other than that, there is nothing else.
Luochen slowly retracted his thoughts and stared blankly at the sky. And at this time, in his mind, he was also constantly thinking about the identity of the group of people in black. Next, he looked at the playboy.
Coincidentally, the playboy also looked over, and the two glanced at each other. Then they immediately separated, not even for a moment. But in this short moment, the two already understood what each other meant. Looks like they're thinking the same thing.
Wu Zheng didn't pay attention to the two of them, what he was thinking about now was where to live and what to eat in the future. Looking at the house that burned out of the fire, pity also welled up in my heart.
The sky was bright, the fire was extinguished. The original dilapidated inn has become a scorched earth. The ruins are broken and shocking.
The dudes were not in a hurry to take revenge, and the most important thing they should do now was to stabilize the innkeeper's mood. Look at the innkeeper standing by the ruins
, the playboy's heart is not a taste.
A night of crying has made the shopkeeper cry dry. Now all that's left is to stand there and watch. Watching the inn he once worked so hard to run turn to ashes overnight was a painful blow to anyone.
Now, Wu Zheng really feels the vicissitudes of the boss's experience. Perhaps in the years he has been in business, the inn has experienced both glory and decline. But no matter what, the innkeeper is always the same. Maybe before, Wu Zheng would have felt cowardly when he saw the boss kneeling down and pleading. But now, Wu Zheng knows that he just wants to protect what he loves. The innkeeper at this moment, in Wu Zheng's eyes, is dozens of years old. The once busy boss is gone, and on the contrary, there is an old man in the twilight. Although, his hair is not gray. But the heart is pale.
The playboy walked up to Wu Zheng in silence and explained a few words. But Wu Zheng didn't hear the front clearly, and his mind was not here at all. In the end, I only heard one sentence, take care of the boss. Then, the dude and the dust left.
The light of dawn shone down, illuminating the boss's face, but not into his heart.
In the county guard's mansion, a thin white-haired old man was leisurely sipping tea. And in front of him, there was a lean man dressed in black. The old man took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "Are things done?"
The man nodded, and then said proudly, "Don't worry, everything is in order, and nothing goes wrong." ”
"That's good. The old man laughed, and slowly placed the teacup on the table. "Good tea. The old man then spat out two words and closed his eyes beautifully.
But then the man asked, "But you don't need to?"
Before the man could finish his words, he heard the old man say, "No. The old man spoke sonorously and forcefully, and there was no room for comment.
The man also heard the old man's annoyance, so he slowly retreated. In fact, the man wanted to say that the old man should avoid the limelight, but the old man refused fiercely.
When the man withdrew, the old man took another sip of tea, closed his eyes and began to squint. But in reality, instead of sleeping, he was waiting, waiting for the guests to visit.
Just after the hour, the sun showed half of its head. In the northern cool of autumn, the sunrise time is still very late.
The fiery playboy and the dust have been killed outside the county guard's mansion. At this time, the county guard mansion did not have a closed gate. Instead, the doors are open.
This county guard is not very magnificent, and it can't even compare to one thousandth of the Dragon and Tiger Gang. If it weren't for the big stone lion at this gate, the playboy would have thought that he was in the wrong place.
Entering the door, it unfolds a quaint picture, which is extremely rich in culture and history. Stone-paved roads lead to houses in the depths. On the side of the road, there are some deciduous dwarf trees, which look bare and quaint at this time.
Along the way, the stone path leads to a very small house. The architectural style of the house is very simple, and the wooden walls reveal the accumulation and vicissitudes of history. As you can see from the traces above, it has been renovated many times.
The interior of the room is also a quaint decoration. A table and a few chairs complete the house.
At this time, in the room, an old man slowly opened his eyes. From his simple and waveless eyes, there is no emotion to be seen together. The old man didn't get up, it was just symbolic
raised his eyes, and then casually threw out two words: "Sit down." ”
As soon as the playboy came in, he didn't even notice the old man for the first time. When I heard the old man looking at the seat, I found that there was an old man sitting on the chair next to the door.
The playboy was a little flustered, and was actually panicked by an old man's words. The dude swallowed, then made his way to a chair across the door. Luochen, on the other hand, had no intention of sitting at all, just stood there and looked at the room.
Just as the playboy was about to sit down in his chair in a trance, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Immediately after, the sweat on the back of his neck flowed down like rain. The playboy gasped for breath and stopped the figure that was about to sit down.
He turned his head and glanced at the old man in the chair. But the old man paid no attention to the general situation at all, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
The playboy slowly retreated, and then also found a place by the door and sat down opposite the old man. As for the falling dust, he no longer looked at it, and sat down with the playboy.
After the two of them sat down, the old man slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Then he spoke: "You guys are a little self-aware. ”
Luochen squinted, not understanding what the old man meant. But the dude knew, and he knew very well what the old man meant. The old man did not sit directly in the front seat, but deliberately vacated.
This means nothing in the eyes of ordinary people. But this couldn't be clearer for a seasoned playboy. Once the playboy sits directly in the main seat, then he proves that he is a class above the old man. In this way, the old man may turn his face directly, and he may start fighting.
The playboy can be said to know nothing about this old man, but it seems that he should be an old and cunning man. The playboy has a headache, and what he hates most is intrigue, although he is very calculating.
Ever since he entered the room, his eyes hadn't stopped. He kept looking around, and did find something, and then whispered a few words in the dude's ear. Immediately afterward, the playboy's heart chuckled. However, on the surface, there are no waves in the ancient well.
The old man pretended to turn a blind eye and said slowly: "I don't know what the two of you are doing when you come to my Lu someone's house?"
The dude spoke: "We are. ”
But as soon as these words came out, the old man coughed, and then said, "The little dolls of the Hua family have grown so big. This sentence seems to be caring, but in fact it is suppressing the playboy. The old man's meaning was obviously that the playboy was of low rank and not enough to talk to him.
The dude's face was not good-looking, and the old man even knew him. And listening to his tone, it seems that he still knows the playboy and his father. The playboy's eyes wandered, but his heart was already panicked.
At this time, Luochen was stunned and said, "We are here to take revenge." ”
As soon as these words came out, the playboy felt that something was wrong. He never expected Luochen to say such a thing at this juncture. If the old man's hearing was not problematic, he would have thought that they were declaring war. The playboy stared at the dust, and finally had to sigh.
