The wind was filled with the smell of scorched earth, this smell was undoubtedly a death-like breath in Xia Chen's feeling at this time, and all her emotions suddenly stopped at the moment of gushing out, except for the thunderous heartbeat, she couldn't hear any sound, and her eyes seemed to suddenly become a useless mirror, and the qiē that came into her eyes could no longer convey any information to her mind.

Wei Han looked at Xia Chen, whose face was completely bloodless, and his heart throbbed, and he glanced at the crowd: "Where are the people who live here?" ”

The onlookers shook their heads blankly, and a middle-aged man said: "Before dawn, I got up to relieve my hands, and when I saw that this house was on fire, I called the neighbors to come to the rescue, and the fire was very fierce at that time. ”

Wei Han hurriedly asked, "So there was no one in the house at that time?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "It's not clear, the fire has already rushed into the house at that time, and I can't go into the house to see." "There shouldn't be anyone, otherwise how could the fire be so big and no one would call for help, and there would be no way to go into the house to see it."

Another white-haired old man said: "There should be no one, otherwise the fire is so big, why don't you see anyone fighting the fire and calling for help." At this point he muttered to himself, "But it's strange how no one can go off." There has been no wind since last night, and the fire is burning so fiercely. ”

Wei Han arched his hand at the onlookers: "Thank you, please go back." Then he patted Xia Chen on the shoulder: "Chen'er, do you hear that?" Yueniang and your friend were not at home at the time, so they probably forgot to put out the candle when they went out for something to cause the fire. ”

Xia Chen finally came back to his senses: "Aren't they at home?" Are you sure? After that, her eyes turned red, grabbed Wei Han's sleeve and shouted eagerly: "They have no relatives here, where can they go at night!" You said! You mean! ”

Wei Han saw that she was unstable and unstable. hugged her into his arms: "Chen'er, calm down, I'll send you to the Gongyuan to take the exam first." I'll take care of the rest. ”

Xia Chen still had the heart to think about the exam, and cried out loudly: "But I hurt Yueniang, I shouldn't have brought her to Anyang City, I shouldn't have involved her in these things......"

Wei Han didn't know what the relationship between Xia Chen and Yueniang was, and he didn't quite understand what she was referring to when she was involved in these things, but seeing her so grief-stricken, he was afraid that she would break her heart. Reached out and tapped her sleeping hole.

Xia Chen fell softly in the crook of Wei Han's arm, with tears on his face, and a teardrop rolled down from his eyelashes. It fell on the back of his hand, and he felt like he had been burned. Since I met her, things have happened one after another, and He has ever seen her cry sadly. A sense of pity arose.

Wei Han hugged Xia Chen in his arms. Flying up and jumping on the horse, he found an inn nearby and placed her for the time being, he wanted to find someone to check about the fire, and he was afraid that Xia Chen would wake up when he left, so after thinking about it, he decided to stay and watch her. After all, the fire has been extinguished and the matter is a foregone conclusion.

But the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, just as Xia Chen said. Where will they go in the big night? And after listening to the old man's words, he had a thought, could it be that someone set the fire?

He couldn't help but glance at Xia Chen, who was not sleeping peacefully. I was afraid for a while. If someone first uses incense and then locks the door and sets it on fire, the people in the house will not have the slightest chance of survival.

The sunlight shone obliquely in the room, Wei Han, who had not slept all night, lay on the side of the bed and took a nap for a while, suddenly he woke up from his dream, opened his eyes and saw that Xia Chen was still asleep, and sighed heavily.

He glanced at the window, his face suddenly changed, the window was obviously closed before, how could it be opened at this time? He pushed the door and called the man: "Did anyone just come?" ”

The guy was stunned: "Guest officer, this morning, only you brought that little boy to the store, and there were no other guests." ”

Wei Han waved his hand: "Got it, you go and get a basin of warm water." ”

"Yes, the villain will go right away." The guy trotted away.

Wei Han turned back to the room and looked out of the window, which was facing a small courtyard, surrounded by guest rooms. Looking at the window with no signs of damage, I thought it was probably blown open by the wind.

"Yueniang......" Xia Chen shouted dreamily.

Wei Han came to the bedside and unlocked her acupoint: "Chen'er, wake up." ”

Xia Chen opened his eyes and gasped heavily: "What a big fire, Yueniang is calling for help from me!" Where is this? ”

Wei Han reached out and pressed her shoulder: "You're just dreaming." This is the inn. ”

At this time, the guy brought water, Wei Han twisted a handkerchief and handed it to Xia Chen: "Wipe your face." ”

Xia Chen didn't take the handkerchief, just stared at Wei Leng and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to find Yueniang, even if she burns to ashes, I will find it!" ”

Wei Han couldn't help but shudder, Xia Chen's expression at this time was really terrifying, full of killing intent. "Chen'er, I'll go with you to find it later. But...... If you don't go to the Gongyuan, you really won't have time to participate in the scientific expedition. ”

Xia Chen turned over and got out of bed suddenly: "I said earlier that the scientific expedition is not important to me, and I will go to Yueniang and them now." ”

Wei Han shook his head helplessly: "Okay, but you at least freshen up first, and I'll ask the guy to get some food." ”

"I don't eat it." Xia Chen snatched the handkerchief, wiped it twice on his face, and threw it on the ground.

"Okay! If you don't eat, don't eat, let's go. Wei Han almost whispered.

Wei Han first went to find a few henchmen, and then came to the mansion together, pointing to the pile of ruins: "You search carefully to see if anyone is buried underneath." ”

Xia Chen stared at the people without blinking at first, but after a while, she looked at the door as if she suddenly remembered something, only to see that the bolt inside the door was broken into two, which meant that the door was inserted at that time.

Wei Han had been staring at Xia Chen, worried that if she found the corpse, her feelings would get out of control, and at this time, she looked at the door bolt with her eyes, and immediately felt that something was wrong, could it really be that someone set fire to it and locked it outside?

"Chen'er, can you have a grudge with someone in Anyang City?"

Xia Chen didn't answer, he picked up the door lock with a handkerchief and took a look, it was just a very ordinary copper lock, but it was very new. She put the lock in front of her nose and sniffed it, and there was a familiar smell of fat powder on the lock, but she couldn't remember where she smelled it for a moment.

Wei Han walked over: "Did you find anything?" ”

Xia Chen handed the lock to him: "Where can I buy this lock?" ”

Wei Han looked at it carefully for a while and shook his head: "There are at least dozens of shops in Anyang City that can buy this kind of lock. ”

Xia Chen wrapped the lock and stuffed it into his sleeve, thinking that he could only start with this fragrance, and this fragrance was definitely left by a good fat powder, otherwise the fragrance would not be so long-lasting, and the taste would not be so good, like the fragrance of jasmine.

At this time, the people in charge of the search came over and said, "Deputy Commander Wei, I didn't find anyone buried in the ashes." ”

Xia Chen was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, Yueniang and Brother Lu are really fine." Then she frowned, "But where did they go?" Even if you go to find me, you should come back by now. (To be continued......)
