Lou Zheng couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, only to see that the façade of the Xinglin Pavilion on the edge of the West Market had become charred black, and even the entire courtyard behind it was burned.

After being stunned for a moment, she anxiously squeezed away the noisy crowd, and in the middle of the crowd sat a depressed and embarrassed middle-aged man, who was the shopkeeper Liu of the Xinglin Pavilion.

Lou Zheng squatted down, and his voice trembled, "Shopkeeper Liu, this ...... What's going on? Yesterday was fine......"

Shopkeeper Liu raised his head, and his wrinkled face looked even more haggard and old at this time.

On weekdays, Shopkeeper Liu is always high-spirited, gentle and obedient to others, very popular, and a good mood every day makes him look much younger than his actual age. But in the face of the destruction of the foundation that he had worked hard for many years overnight, he seemed to be ten years old in an instant.

"Burn, burn, burn!" The emotionally disturbed shopkeeper Liu spoke incoherently.

Although the surrounding residents found that the Xinglin Pavilion was on fire, they rushed to put out the fire, but it was still a step too late, the fire seemed to spread from the inside, and when everyone worked together to extinguish the fire, the Xinglin Pavilion had become a ruin.

Many of the onlookers around were still holding water dragons, all of them were embarrassed, lamenting that there have been many strange things in recent years, and some comforted the shopkeeper Liu.

Lou Zheng helped Shopkeeper Liu to sit down in the shop on the opposite street, and someone had already gone to the yamen to report to the official.

The shopkeeper personally brought tea to the shopkeeper Liu, and he comforted him gently: "Shopkeeper Liu, we can't avoid this natural and man-made disaster, but you can't be so depressed, you have to think about the good in everything, although your shop was burned down for some reason." But at least the people in your shop are fine, it's good to be there, if you want to open a shop in the future, will it be difficult? When the time comes, the silver is not enough, so my brother will lend you a few. ”

When the shopkeeper said this, Tian Qi also hurriedly ran over, he saw the shopkeeper Liu sitting on the chair, and then looked at Lou Zheng who was standing behind the shopkeeper Liu, and opened his mouth. A pair of eyes were red. I still haven't said a word what's wrong.

Shopkeeper Liu was the most stimulated, the Xinglin Pavilion was handed down from his father, and it was a century-old brand in Songjiang City, how could he easily see it.

Lou Zheng shook his head gently towards Tian Qi. Motioned to him not to ask in front of Shopkeeper Liu.

Tian Qi bit his lip tightly. Suddenly turned his head. was about to run out of the door, Lou Zheng was afraid that he would be impulsive and cause trouble, so he hurriedly followed him out and grabbed him.

"Tian Qi. Where are you going! ”

"Ah Zheng, don't stop me, I'm going to report to the official, how could the Xinglin Pavilion be burned for no reason, when I left yesterday, the treasury was checked, all the open flames in the hospital were extinguished, and the shopkeeper Liu also checked it, how could something happen! I don't believe it! ”

"You calm down, you have already asked people to report to the official, you will add chaos if you go again, I don't believe this is an accident, take advantage of this time, you can tell me, can we have a holiday with those people in the Xinglin Pavilion?"

Tian Qi has been a buddy in the Xinglin Pavilion for several years, and he knows much more than Lou Zheng.

Tian Qi was mentioned by Lou Zheng's words, and slowly calmed down. The two walked to a corner where no one was, Tian Qi pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, "Shopkeeper Liu and Doctor Xie are kind-hearted, and sometimes they give free medicine to patients who can't afford to pay for medicine, and rarely offend people. ”

Ancheng and Songjiang City are compared, one south and one north, and it is impossible to think about it.

The official government and Dr. Xie also came half an hour later, and Lou Zheng was afraid that Dr. Xie would be stimulated by his age, so he asked Tian Qi to send people back first.

Lou Zheng accompanied Shopkeeper Liu and the people from the government to check the ruins of the Xinglin Pavilion first, and then followed him to the Yamen, and finally personally sent Shopkeeper Liu home.

Shopkeeper Liu's wife is five or six years older than Shopkeeper Liu, and there is a young girl at home who is less than ten years old.

Lou Zheng glanced at the shopkeeper Liu's house, the yard was not big, and the furnishings were simple, so it could be seen that it was not a wealthy family.

The wife of the shopkeeper Liu wanted to keep her for dinner, but Lou Zheng refused, and when this happened, the adults in their family estimated that no one would have the heart to cook.

Lou Zheng pondered while walking, but he couldn't think of a clue, and when he looked up, he had arrived at the small courtyard where he lived unconsciously.

Today, Wang Xun took a rest, and slept lazily, and didn't get up until almost noon, and just after cleaning up, he saw Lou Zheng turn in from the courtyard gate.

Lou Zheng works in the Xinglin Pavilion and won't come back at noon on weekdays, what's wrong today, and he looks preoccupied.

"Ah Zheng, why did you come back at this time?"

Lou Zheng lowered his head and thought about things, but was blown up by Wang Xun's voice, and suddenly raised his head and couldn't come back to his senses.

"Huh?"

Wang Xun frowned and greeted him.

"Didn't you eat at the hospital at noon? Feeling unwell and taking a leave of absence? ”

Lou Zheng realized at this time that Wang Xun cared about her.

She sat down on a simple wooden bench in the courtyard and told him what had happened in the morning in the Xinglin Pavilion.

Wang Xun was very surprised, "How could such a thing happen in the Xinglin Pavilion!" ”

Lou Zheng shook his head, and his mood became more and more depressed.

Shopkeeper Liu, Dr. Xie, and Tian Qi are all good people, and she doesn't want to see them endure this kind of ordeal.

The lunch was white porridge made by Wang Xun at random, and Lou Zheng ate a little bit and went back to the room to lie down.

It wasn't until the evening that Lou Zheng's door opened, and Wang Xun's door was closed and he didn't know where to go.

Feeling depressed to stay alone, Lou Zheng decided to go out and go to the market to buy some vegetables and come back to make dinner.

As soon as I got out of the hospital gate, I saw a tall figure standing by the courtyard gate.

Lou Zheng looked up, and it turned out to be Zhen Hanxiao.

Lou Zheng frowned, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhen Hanxiao put her hands behind her back, and the thick eyebrows on Jun's face were raised, "Come to the door to return the meal?" ”

Lou Zheng rolled his eyes, "I've only seen people who collect debts and repay money, but haven't you seen anyone crying and shouting to send money?" ”

"Didn't you see it today?" Zhen Hanxiao smiled.

Hiss...... How did this guy become so unbeaten!

Lou Zheng was holding back something in her heart, someone happened to send it to the door, and she didn't want to refuse at this time, and Zhen Hanxiao's drunkenness was taken care of by her, and invisibly, the distance between the two seemed to have become close.

"Okay, in that case, I'm going to Yuebin Building." Lou Zheng lion opened his mouth, and Yuebin Lou is the most famous restaurant in Songjiang City.

Zhen Hanxiao shook her head and pointed at her with a slender finger, "Ah Zheng, you can pick the ground." But today's Yuebin Building is not good, the county master is doing a happy event, if you believe me, I will take you to a family, how about it? (To be continued......)
