Chapter 64: Midnight Tribulation

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Hao had not been able to fall asleep.

That night, he and Zheng Chong and three or four other guys were staying in the store.

Zheng Hao couldn't sleep because he was thinking about the follow-up development path, and he hadn't come up with a clue for a while, but his brain was getting more and more excited.

Tossing and turning on the bed, he simply got up and came to the window facing the lake on the second floor.

He was looking at the dark lake and was distracted, when suddenly he saw several dark shadows quietly coming in the direction of the High Roller Restaurant.

Zheng Hao's heart jumped.

Could it be some thief?

As soon as Zheng Hao turned around, he ran back to the room and shouted to Zheng Chong, who was sleeping on the other bed: "Brother Chong, there are some thieves outside who want to be unfavorable to us." ”

Zheng Chong Huo Ran sat up, put on his clothes randomly, and casually lifted an arm-thick top door bar and rushed outside.

He went outside and woke up some of the guys who were asleep.

"Don't sleep, get up! Follow me to catch the thief! Zheng Chong shouted at the guys.

Several guys also rubbed their sleepy eyes, didn't dare to slack off, put on clothes, took sticks, and followed Zheng Chong out.

Zheng Hao also followed them downstairs.

"Brother Hao, don't come out! Freedom from danger. Zheng Chong said.

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if I come out and take a look. Zheng Hao said.

A group of people rushed downstairs.

Zheng Hao heard the sound of a rope coming from the crack in the door, as if someone was fiddling with the latch.

Zheng Chong's eyes widened, and he walked over and pulled out the latch.

"Whoa!"

The door opened, and a dark shadow was caught off guard, almost rolling into the room.

Zheng Chong was also not polite, and waved the top door bar in his hand to sweep the black shadow at once.

He didn't make a dead move, he just wanted to sweep the other party down and capture him alive.

Unexpectedly, the other party was very flexible, and a lazy donkey rolled and dodged. But he dodged the sweep of the stick, but he came right in front of Zheng Hao, and Zheng Hao raised his foot to him and kicked him out of the door.

Zheng Chong was already shouting, waving the top door bar and chasing out.

Outside the door, there seemed to be four or five black shadows, and when these black shadows saw Zheng Chong killed, one of them said in a deep voice: "If you are discovered, you can't fall in love, you have to fight quickly!" ”

Four black shadows brandished sticks, knives and axes in their hands and slashed around Zheng Chong.

The other two began to knock on the flint with a "clatter, clatter".

Zheng Hao couldn't help but be stunned, he understood that he wanted to set fire to his shop.

He opened his throat and shouted, "Someone's coming! There are thieves robbing you! ”

In the dead of night, the shouts were especially loud.

The two black shadows that struck the flint quickened the frequency of the tapping, and a spark was struck out, and finally the tarpaulin was ignited, and the fire was blazing.

Over there, although Zheng Chong was powerful and brave, the four thieves did not collide with him at all, but fought around him.

Zheng Chong couldn't help the four of them for a while, and he was so angry that he screamed.

Zheng Hao shouted a few times, but he didn't see anyone from the city on duty at night. He was more and more worried.

The two thieves who lit the fire lit several torches, and they also saw that Zheng Hao and several people around Zheng Hao were relatively weak, and the two masked thieves forced Zheng Hao over.

Zheng Hao frowned, and said to the three men who were trembling beside him, "Aren't you going up to meet the battle?" ”

"East, the owner, they, they're too powerful, the little ones are scared." One of the guys said with a wince.

Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that his legs are frightened.

Zheng Hao looked at this scene in front of him, and was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

However, when employing people, he couldn't scold, but he said with a pleasant face: "Who can come forward and help me drive away the thief, and reward me with a silver tael!" ”

The salary of these guys is less than one tael a month, only three or five dollars of silver, and Zheng Hao opened his mouth to reward one tael of silver.

He thinks that there must be a brave man under the great reward.

After listening to Zheng Hao's reward, these three guys were really in good spirits, and they were all very moved.

The three of them trembled forward, and with courage and clubs, they were about to meet the two thieves who were approaching.

However, as soon as they met, one of them was kicked to the ground by the other party, and the other two turned around and ran away like frightened rabbits.

Wiped it! Why is there no blood? If you want to rely on these people to protect you, go dream!

Zheng Hao was simply mad.

He was also extremely nervous at this time, and his heart couldn't beat well.

If the other party sets fire to this restaurant, the little foundation he has built with great difficulty will be destroyed. He was very unwilling. He gritted his teeth, lifted the stick in his hand, and wanted to fight himself.

Unexpectedly, the two thieves with torches were no longer Zheng Hao after all, but threw the torches in their hands at the high rollers when they came to the store.

"Whew!"

A torch was thrown into the door of the store, next to the wooden floor, and immediately crackled and burned.

"Whew!"

Another torch was thrown into the store, and the fire intensified.

Zheng Hao sighed and said in his heart, let's go! Burn it, burn it! This time it's my own carelessness.

He also thinks openly, and he doesn't think about trying to put out the fire.

But at this moment, the four thieves who besieged Zheng Chong were finally defeated by Zheng Chong's divine power, and Zheng Chong knocked a thief to the ground with a "click", and it is estimated that both legs of the thief were broken.

The thief fell to the ground and howled.

The shout was heard far away in the silent darkness of the night.

Zheng Chong knocked over one, but did not stop, and a few swift and powerful sweeps, beating the remaining three to the ground, all of them hung up.

"Woohoo!"

A thief whistled: "Withdraw, withdraw!" ”

The thieves staggered away with their broken leg and disappeared into the night.

Zheng Chong saw that the fire was burning in the store, but he didn't answer, picked up a large vat full of water placed outside the store, came to the door of the store, and splashed it at the fire.

"Poof!"

Although the fire had already burned, it was not too big after all, and it did not spread, Zheng Chong poured a jar of water over it, and extinguished the fire on the spot.

This water tank is used to prevent fires, and I don't want it to play a big role, avoiding the tragic result of the high roller restaurant being destroyed by a fire.

As soon as the fire was extinguished, Zheng Chong rushed into the store and extinguished all the remaining embers.

Faced with this situation, Zheng Hao was full of emotion, thinking that this time, if it wasn't for Zheng Chong's performance, his restaurant would probably be in a catastrophe.

"Brother Chong, this time, thanks to you again." Zheng Hao glanced at Zheng Chong, who was panting like a cow, and said movingly.

"Brother Hao, isn't this what I should share? If you ask me to do things for you, I can do that. Zheng Chong scratched his head and said.
