"I ask you, who is the person who is on duty for you?" Leng Jinqiu's eyes glared at Du Zhenguo.

Du Zhenguo didn't dare to look directly at Leng Jinqiu's two sharp gazes, lowered his head and replied softly: "Back to the big boss, he is new here, his name is Wu Xu, and we all call him Ah Xu." ”

"Have you seen this Wu Xu?" Leng Jinqiu asked the brothers around him.

Everybody, you look at me, I look at you, and shake your head.

"Have you seen anyone coming down the mountain?" Leng Jinqiu asked the brothers guarding the pass.

The people also shook their heads: "I didn't see anyone coming down the mountain." ”

"Big boss, will this Wu Xu be so scared that he runs to the back mountain?" Xiang You guessed that since he didn't go down the mountain, and no one saw this Wu Xu here, it was possible that he saw the fire, so he was so frightened that he panicked and ran towards the back mountain: "Big boss, after dawn, I will go to the back mountain with a few brothers to find this Wu Xu." ”

"Okay." Leng Jinqiu nodded: "Okay, let's go back first, Sixth Brother, you should transport these grains back to the Turtle Cave, and send a few more brothers to watch the night." The rest of the food must be kept anyway. ”

The sixth nodded: "Well, I know, big boss, you go back to the house to rest." ”

Leng Jinqiu nodded with a heavy heart: "Alas, if only Mr. Ling were here, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." ”

Leng Jinqiu couldn't help but miss Peng Ruofei, now Peng Ruofei is like his backbone, as long as Peng Ruofei is there, he can easily solve the big and small things on Yunwu Mountain.

Peng Ruofei had only left Yunwu Mountain for three or four days, but he didn't expect such a big disaster to happen in these few days.

Early the next morning, just when Leng Jinqiu was worried, someone suddenly came to report, saying that Mr. Ling was back, Leng Jinqiu heard this, and hurriedly ran out of the Eight Immortals Cave, and saw Peng Ruofei striding towards him, hurriedly walked a few steps, and grabbed Peng Ruofei's hands.

"Mr. Ling, you're finally back, don't you know, there was a natural disaster last night, and the grain and other things we stored in the turtle cave were burned by a heavenly fire." As soon as Leng Jinqiu saw Peng Ruofei, he quickly told him the bad news.

When Peng Ruofei heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed Leng Jinqiu's hand: "Big boss, what did you say?" Turtle Cave on fire? ”

"Yes, yesterday a lightning bolt struck the trees next to the turtle cave, causing a fire that burned most of the food in the cave, as well as other things like cloth, tobacco, and skins. Alas......" Leng Jinqiu's face was full of sorrow, and he sighed heavily: "I haven't been happy for a few days, but I have suffered this catastrophe." ”

"Let's go to the Turtle Cave." Peng Ruofei didn't have time to say hello to the others, so he hurriedly walked towards the turtle cave, followed by Leng Jinqiu and some other brothers.

"Are there any casualties?" Peng Ruofei asked as he walked.

"Lao Liao was burned to death. Yesterday it was his turn to be on duty for the night. Leng Jinqiu reported the casualties to Peng Ruofei.

Peng Ruofei stopped, turned around and asked Leng Jinqiu: "What about Lao Liao's corpse?" ”

"I've already had someone give him a Nanmu coffin, this fire is really fierce, and it burns Lao Liao beyond recognition." Thinking of Lao Liao's tragic situation, Leng Jinqiu couldn't help but feel sad secretly.

"Carry Lao Liao's coffin to the turtle cave." Peng Ruofei instructed a brother beside him.

"Big boss, who was the first to rush to the turtle cave yesterday?"

"It should be the sixth child, he organized people to put out fires there."

"You go and invite the sixth brother to the turtle cave for a while." Peng Ruofei turned his head and said to a brother behind him.

It didn't take long for Peng Ruofei and Leng Jinqiu to come to the Turtle Cave, and now the number of guards at the entrance of the cave has increased from two to four.

Peng Ruofei walked into the cave, looked at the burnt black cave, and felt that a big stone was blocked in his heart.

Peng Ruofei saw that the boxes of Baibaodan stacked in the northeast corner were a little burnt yellow except for the outside of the boxes, and the medicines inside were not affected much, but only four of the five iron barrels filled with gasoline stacked in the northwest corner were still stacked in place, and the other gasoline barrel was poured to the ground, Peng Ruofei walked over and found that the four iron barrels were full of gasoline, only the gasoline barrel that fell on the ground was empty, fortunately, the fire did not affect the remaining four barrels of gasoline, otherwise the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

Peng Ruofei walked outside the cave again and looked at the traces of the fire: "Big boss, was the northwest wind blowing last night?" ”

"No, it's a southeast wind."

Soon the four brothers carried Lao Liao's coffin.

"Open the coffin board." Peng Ruofei commanded.

After the coffin board was opened, Peng Ruofei then squatted down to check Lao Liao's body, and when he found that the skull on the back of Lao Liao's head was shattered, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

At this time, the sixth man hurriedly came: "Mr. Ling is back?" ”

"Hey, Sixth Brother, were you the first to put out the fire here last night?"

"Yes, as soon as I heard someone shouting 'on fire', I immediately got up, and as soon as I heard that the turtle hole was on fire, I didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly called some brothers to rush to extinguish the fire. It's better to rush out a little food, otherwise we will run out of food today. ”

"Sixth brother, when you came in, was this gasoline drum in this position?"

"I didn't pay attention, did the other brothers kick this gasoline drum over when they were carrying the grain?"

"Was there any gasoline in the gasoline drum at that time?"

"No, this is an empty bucket."

"Big boss, who else was on duty last night besides Lao Liao?" Peng Ruofei walked up to Leng Jinqiu and asked softly.

"It's a newcomer named Wu Xu, but this person has disappeared, Xiang You went to the back mountain with a few brothers to look for him early in the morning."

"Big boss, let's go back to the Eight Immortals Cave."

Leng Jinqiu saw Peng Ruofei's grim expression, frowned, and felt that there was a bad omen, so he hurriedly called the sixth child, and several people were in a heavy mood along the way, and they didn't say anything, and returned directly to the Eight Immortals Cave.

As soon as he arrived at the Eight Immortals Cave, Peng Ruofei instructed the brothers guarding the door: "Invite Brother Xiang Zuo." ”

Soon, Xiang Zuo received a notice and came to the Eight Immortals Cave.

"Now except for Brother Xiangyou, no one else is allowed to come in." Peng Ruofei spoke decisively and gave orders to the guards.

"I see, Mr. Ling." The guard nodded.

"Mr. Ling, what's wrong, is something wrong?"

"Big boss, I went to the turtle cave just now, and found that this fire was not a natural disaster at all, yes, someone set fire to the turtle cave."

"What do you say? Was someone setting the fire? The sixth gasped.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it's the missing Wu Xu."

"How do you know?" Leng Jinqiu was also taken aback.

"I just checked Lao Liao's body, the skull on the back of his head is broken, he was stoned to death first, and then dragged to the cave to burn to death, even if yesterday's thunder and lightning hit the big tree outside the cave, but last night it was a southeast wind, the fire will only spread to the outside of the cave, not to the hole, I found that the empty gasoline barrel is not far from the place where the grain is piled, Wu Xu should have poured all the gasoline in the gasoline barrel on the grain, and then set fire to the grain."

"This Wu Xu, who should be cut with a thousand cuts, after I am caught, I must pull his tendons and pick his skin." Xiang Zuo said through gritted teeth.

"Why did this Wu Xu do this?" Leng Jinqiu looked at Peng Ruofei puzzled.
