Chapter 64: The Magic of the Fire
"Why are you so interested in this kid?" Taking advantage of the fact that the child was taken away by the hidden weapon Feng, Li Tong asked Liangzi.
"Not because of the child, but because he is a little beggar." Ryoko wants to drink again, but the bottle is empty.
"Oh?" Li Tong raised his eyebrows. He handed over his last half glass of wine.
"I used to be a little beggar, too." Tilting her neck, Ryoko shouted "Happy".
"I grew up in an orphanage when I was younger, but the orphanage often didn't have enough to eat and often abused children, and I couldn't stand it anymore and ran away at the age of eight. Since then, he has been a little beggar.
When I first went out, I felt that the world was big, and no one could control me, so I was free and casual. But when the cold wind blew at night and I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't beg for food hungry, I realized that begging was so difficult. And that orphanage, I never want to go back, I hate those wicked people who use charity as an excuse, they spend money to build an orphanage, it is for their own selfish desires, torturing children!
I still remember that the first thing I was going to eat was a whole pancake, which was bought by a guy from a pancake shop who saw that I was pitiful and paid for it himself. Unfortunately, there is only one. Later, he ganged up with a group of beggars to ask for food, and the mix was okay. I'm small, I have an advantage, I'm familiar with the rhetoric, and I can get a lot of food every day.
The ranks of beggars are not only uneducated, but also those who have read. Among the old beggars I knew was an old man who seemed to have read a lot of books and wrote very well, but unfortunately his leg was broken, he couldn't walk, and he didn't have anything to eat when the weather was bad. At that time, I ate little, and I always gave him a share when I saw that he was pitiful, and then he taught me to read. At that time, the beggars laughed at me, saying that what is the use of a beggar being literate, it is far better to ask for more steamed bread and baked cakes.
I don't care, I rely on the food I saved, I have changed some knowledge, and I can read and understand the newspapers I picked up on the street. When I was ten years old, the old beggar suddenly died and told me that I should help him get a straw mat and help him with the aftermath. I'm really about to come to the straw mat, and the old man tells me that I have a way out. He told me to go to the PLA camp and kneel at the door. If you are lucky enough to wait for a good-hearted official, you may be able to find a way out.
When the old man died, I found a few beggars with whom I had a good relationship and buried him, and then went to kneel at the camp gate. It really made me wait, and then ** provided me with school, became a special soldier, and had human dignity. My name is still given by the old man, my surname is Liang, this is the record of the orphanage, a single name and a bright character, taking the meaning of illuminating the future.
When I saw that kid just now, my heart softened, isn't this an opportunity he was waiting for? Perhaps, he will also be a soldier in the future. After Liangzi finished speaking, he found that Li Tong was fascinated by what he heard.
Li Tong came back to his senses, "I just saw that child, and I thought it was arranged by someone. After watching it for a long time, I was sure that he was really a beggar. Seeing that you were so attentive, I brought it in, and sure enough, it was the right one. "What do you think?" Ryoko said curiously.
"First of all, he does not forget his broken bowl wherever he goes, this is his habit, and this cannot be faked; secondly, he can't open eight-treasure porridge, and if it's a fake, it's difficult to cover up the subconscious movements; thirdly, there are vicissitudes in his eyes that only beggars have; Finally, his figure and calluses on his hands illustrate a qiē. If this is really the enemy's internal response, it will be too difficult to meet these points. Li Tong said.
"I can't see that your eyes are quite poisonous." Quantum didn't expect that this big brother's ability to recognize people is not weak. "My judgment is the result of some military training, his walking pace is messy, not regular, indicating that he has not undergone rigorous training, his sitting posture is not upright, there is no trace of collective life, the most important thing is that his physique is terrible, such a physique cannot be designed the day after tomorrow. Choosing such a person to cultivate is nothing more than getting twice the result with half the effort. "The eyes of special forces are professional." Li Tong said with a smile.
"Let Kaede take a look at this child, he'll arrange it." Ryoko already has a plan in mind.
Ryoko hit the floor, and before he fell asleep, he actually asked about the smell of smoke again. "It's not going to be another beggar." As he spoke, he went out to see, but was stunned by the scene in front of him!
The fire outside had burned three meters away. The flames rose into the sky, crackling, and the air in front of them flowed as if they had a texture, and the smoke billowed and reflected the surroundings. I saw that it was about to burn down to my bookstore.
"What kind of fuss is this! You don't need such a big fire to destroy the corpses! As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and dialed 119 directly.
"Don't! Hey, you'll lose in such a hurry. Li Tong didn't move as fast as Liangzi, he came out slower, and he immediately understood when he saw this scene.
"You don't call the police for such a big fire?" Quantum incomprehensible.
"Look at it. I'm going to put on a garment. By the way, think about how to explain to the fire alarm. Li Tong said and went back to the house.
"What's the explanation, fire." Ryoko quickly became depressed, and within five minutes, the fire disappeared without a trace, and then, the fire truck came, looking at the traces of burning all over the ground, "Where is the fire?" "That's it, right here. There was a lot of fire just now. Ryoko didn't know what to say.
"And now?" The firefighters weren't happy either, you were kidding me on this big night.
"Now, the fire is extinguishing itself." Ryoko scratched her head embarrassedly.
"You can't set it on fire yourself." The firefighters were still very suspicious, and it was really abnormal for the person in front of him to appear in the ruins at night. Do you want to call 110 again and notify the brother unit?
"Where can I be, it's that I'm thinking too much, maybe someone set fire to vent. The brethren smoked, smoked. As he spoke, he handed over the Chinese that he was carrying.
"Don't call blindly if the situation is unclear in the future, I won't hold you accountable this time." With that, the firefighters left. Leave an embarrassed Ryoko.
"What's going on?" Ryoko asked Li Tong, he really couldn't understand how he did it, could it be magic?
"It's very simple, it's kerosene that's burning, and someone poured it on cotton wool. Then you put the cotton wool soaked in kerosene on the bricks and stones, and you have the scene you see. The fire was raging because the kerosene burned quickly, and the smoke was the result of them burning the soaked cardboard on the fire. The fire burned vigorously, but it went down quickly, and when the kerosene burned out, the cotton wool burned to ashes at once, and you had nothing to say when the fire alarm came. "Li Tong is not surprised, such a trick is a lot more clever, but unfortunately, these are all leftovers for his own play.
"How do you see that? Is it a guess? Ryoko was still not convinced.
"You stupid, bricks all over the floor, you want to set me on fire?" Li ignored the same and went back to the house to sleep.
"I'm not stupid, it's you who are too cunning." Ryoko said sadly. "Such people are all demons."
