Chapter 41: The Fire

Everyone was still sitting at the big round table last night and eating breakfast, but the difference was that there was an extra table of guests in the lobby of the inn today.

Lin Meili buried her head in drinking white porridge, but she always felt a feeling of being watched, so she subconsciously raised her head, just colliding with a pair of eyes, the owner of this eye is about 20 years old, bronzed skin, handsome face, because the figure is sitting, I can't see whether it is tall or not, the moment the man saw Lin Meili raise her head, first suspicion turned into surprise. Lin Meili felt that these eyes were inexplicably familiar, and when she was still searching for the memories in her mind, she heard the young woman next to the man say, "I'm full, let's hurry early." The man nodded, and walked away with the woman.

It's a pity that I didn't hear the man's voice until the end, and if I did, I might remember something. Forget it, I still don't want to, Lin Meili doesn't know him anyway.

Then he looked at the little fat man beside him, worthy of being the stupid son of the landlord's family, his body is really good, and he recovered after a night's rest, and the big meat bun has been three stomachs in an instant. Lin Meili saw that his appetite had recovered, and she knew that the little fat man's body should be fine, and the group packed some dry food and prepared to continue on their way.

The carriage set off slowly, there was silence in the car, and the tsundere girl looked at Lin Meili, and took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "Thank you last night!" Lin Meili didn't plan to ignore her, and continued to take a nap to catch up on sleep. Everyone knew that Lin Meili didn't rest well last night, so the carriage basically didn't stop all the way today, and kept moving forward, seeing that it was almost dark, he found another inn like yesterday, and after arranging his room after dinner, he went back to his room to rest.

In the middle of the night, Lin Meimei, who was still asleep, heard a burst of shouts downstairs. "It's on fire, it's on fire!" Lin Meili subconsciously turned over and sat up, but saw a black shadow rushing towards her, she dodged to avoid the opponent's attack first, and did not forget to grab the porcelain pillow next to her and smashed it towards the man in black, and took advantage of the other party's stunned moment to quickly run to the door of the house to open the door and shouted: "The little craftsman save me!" ”

Ding Xiaojiang had already woken up, and when he saw Lin Meili shouting his name in the confusion at this moment, he knew that things might not be good, so he didn't hesitate, pulled out the big knife on his back, and slashed at the man in black, and the cold light flashed, and the black shadow fell to the ground silently before he could react. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was impossible to go down the stairs anymore, Lin Meili only then reacted from the panic just now, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, lower your head, and cover your mouth and nose with your sleeves." Ding Xiaojiang saw that Lin Meili was not injured, so he held his breath and jumped from the window with her, and the point where the two landed happened to be the horse shed in the backyard, and at this time the inn had become chaotic because of the fire, Lin Meili remembered something and hurriedly asked, "What about the others?" ”

Ding Xiaojiang said: "The others have already come out with their luggage when they heard the fire, and we thought you had also come out at first, but then we found out that you were not in the team, so I went back to look for you." ”

After Lin Meili listened, she was secretly glad that her head would have moved today. It didn't take long for everyone to find this place, and they were all relieved to see that both of them were okay.

Lin Zicong checked up and down whether Lin Meili was injured, and was a little embarrassed to ignore her sister when she ran for her life today, Lin Meili knew his thoughts and comforted: "This kind of thing happened suddenly in the middle of the night today, no one thought that everyone was fine, but I always felt that today's fire was a little abnormal." ”

Ding Xiaojiang also hurriedly echoed on the side: "Yes, when I went to look for Sister Meili just now, I saw a man in black chasing her. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, how could anyone still chase and kill Lin Meili, this little girl was just a little peasant girl, and she hadn't offended anyone.

Li Weihao pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that the gangsters recognized the wrong person?" ”

As soon as these words were finished, everyone looked at the tsundere girl in unison. The tsundere woman hurriedly opened her mouth to defend herself: "What are you looking at me for? Do you think that someone deliberately set this fire to kill me, but they just found the wrong person! ”

Everyone nodded in unison. After all, this girl herself appeared inexplicably, and her origin was also very suspicious, and their group was safe and sound before they met the two siblings, and there were no accidents.

When Ding Xiaojiang heard that it was the two sisters and brothers who had caused his beautiful sister to die tragically today, he immediately shouted angrily: "If it weren't for you, who else would it be, my sister has not offended anyone, if you are not suspicious, how can you appear in this wilderness." ”

The little fat brother's brother hurriedly defended his sister: "We are from the Zhenguo Mansion, we were deceived and trafficked here, and we escaped a few days ago while people were not paying attention, not bad people." ”

Lin Zicong also interjected on the side: "Everything has a cause and must have an effect, you can't be abducted and sold for no reason, deep in the mansion compound, the methods of the back house are all dirty and unacceptable." ”

was said by Lin Zicong, and the tsundere girl also felt that it seemed to make sense, maybe it was really herself who caused Lin Meimei, maybe the women in the back house of the family didn't blame his sister and brother, so the abduction and trafficking did not succeed in arson and killing. Thinking of this, she looked at Lin Meili with a guilty face, but she was really afraid that she would be driven away by their group because of this matter, and how would she and her younger brother return to their home in the capital at that time.

Li Weiming, who had been silent, suddenly said at this time: "It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's stop worrying about this issue first." ”

After hearing this, everyone also felt reasonable, quickly packed their luggage, got into the carriage and continued on their way.

"Little craftsman, why didn't my suitcase burn?" On the carriage, Lin Meili hugged her big box as if she was touching a gold ingot.

"You've been groggy all day, and you forgot to take your suitcase after dinner, so I'll carry it back to my room." Ding Xiaojiang said with a look of invitation.

"Haha, it's so unexpected, the little craftsman is thanks to you today!" Lin Meili thanked her sincerely, fortunately, she took Ding Xiaojiang out this time, and a thought is often the price of a life.
