Chapter 30: The Burning of the Inn (Part I)
The girl's fingertips brushed lightly, with a strange tingleness.
Especially in the wound scarring, which is already a little itchy, this feeling is even stronger.
Fang Yue didn't have anything to say: "Miss Sun, Ling Zun is not here today, but he went out to practice medicine again?" ”
Sun Qinglu said "um" and said, "My father went to the east of the city, and there was an old woman who was sick and too weak to go out, so my father went to the outpatient clinic." ”
As if thinking of something, he added, "He'll be back soon." ”
Fang Yue felt that the words she added later were a little weird, but she didn't understand what was wrong, and subconsciously continued: "Yes, it's been very dangerous outside recently, it's better to come back early." ”
Sun Qinglu let out a soft "ah" and didn't speak again, so the atmosphere was a little silent.
She smeared herbal ointment on and around Fang Yue's wound, then took out a clean bandage and tied it for him.
Fang Yue moved his arm, feeling that his movements were a little inconvenient, he wanted to go to the martial arts hall, which would inevitably affect his martial arts practice somewhat.
"The wound has already scarred, so you don't need to tie the bandage."
Sun Qinglu raised her eyebrows and insisted: "This is not good, wearing a bandage can prevent the wound from tearing, you have to listen to the doctor." ”
"Okay." Fang Yue didn't argue with her about this, and instead asked, "The wound on my body, it will take a few days to fully recover?" At least not to affect the action. ”
"How can the wound be so easy to heal, you still have a knife wound on your shoulder, and it will take at least half a month for ordinary people. You are in good shape and are recovering well, but it will take six or seven days to recover to the point where it does not affect your movements, otherwise there is a risk of tearing the wound if the action is too intense. ”
Fang Yue frowned slightly, he was careful in practicing boxing before, but now that the demons and ghosts are rampant in this county, and the riots are getting bigger and bigger, he is eager to improve his strength, and it is not a good thing to delay for too long.
"However, the wounds that ordinary people need to heal for more than half a month can be healed in only eight or nine days on my body, and my physical fitness has improved greatly. Now, as long as I understand the basic principle of internal force, I can continue to deduce the 'Enlightenment Fist', and once the internal force is generated, there will be a qualitative leap in both physical fitness and strength. ”
Fang Yue put his mind on the "merit system" interface in his mind, and the merit points were only more than two hundred.
When deducing the first weight of the Enlightenment Fist, it costs 120 merit points, plus 80 merit points consumed by passing the gong, for a total of 200 merit points.
Then deducing the double level of enlightenment fist, coupled with the transmission of gong, the required merit points will inevitably exceed 200 points, and the existing more than 200 merit points are only afraid that they will not be enough.
Fang Yue originally wanted to deduce a sword technique, otherwise he could only rely on improvisation in ordinary battles, and he would suffer a lot in battle.
But now the merit points are insufficient, so they can only be saved, and priority is given to the deduction of Enlightenment Boxing, because this boxing method is the foundation and has the greatest improvement in strength.
……
Out of the Sun Medical Hall, Fang Yue walked in the direction of South Street.
He had asked someone before, and the largest martial arts hall in the county was called "Dayi Martial Arts Hall", which was located on South Street near the suburbs.
I had only been walking for a while, when I suddenly heard a commotion in front of me, and I didn't know what I was doing.
Fang jumped into curiosity and walked forward quickly.
It turned out that Zhang Xiancheng was walking towards this side with a group of people.
And looking at the direction they went, it seemed to be the Tongfu Inn, that is, the inn where Fang Yue lived before.
Of course, now the name has changed to "Elysium Inn", and it has become a stronghold of demon cult envoys.
Fang Yue was a little surprised, he didn't know what this county man wanted to do, a few days ago, he saw that he was scared half to death by the stumps and scraps in the house, and today he dared to go there again.
"What do you have to rely on?"
Fang Yue was also very curious about what the inn had become now, so he simply followed behind.
In addition to Fang Yue, there were many people who came to watch the excitement along the way, and there were many people.
Fang Yue was in the crowd of followers, listening to the discussion of the people next to him, and only then did he understand what was going on.
After that night, the inn was occupied by the demon envoy and renamed the "Bliss Inn", during the day, it was empty, and there was no one, and at night, it was full of people, singing and dancing.
Because Fang Yue had already asked the shopkeeper Agui to go to the county office to report the case, and the county government also knew that something had happened to the inn, so someone had been sent there to guard it and forbid passers-by to approach.
At the same time, the county government also posted a notice that Xiaoyu had done this, so that the people in the city would never approach here.
However, even if it is explicitly forbidden, it still can't help some people who die.
Especially at night, the inn is brightly lit, and there are women's laughter, which is delicate and beautiful, seductive, and makes people's hearts itch.
In such an era of extreme scarcity of entertainment, this is so appealing.
So some of the people in the city, or passers-by who had no intention of passing by, took advantage of the laxity of the guards at the intersection and slipped into the inn in the dark.
Of course, none of these people and passers-by who mixed into the inn came out.
In just two days or so, more than a dozen men disappeared.
It is said that the voices of the missing men can still be heard talking in the inn at night, but when the day passes, it is empty.
It's not without boldness, at night, taking advantage of the crowd inside, I want to go in to find the missing person, and at the same time find out, but I also fell inside and didn't come out.
This strange thing immediately spread in the county, boiling, combined with the recent series of haunted and haunted events, the entire county is panicked.
And now, Zhang Xiancheng transferred people from the county government to bring flammable materials such as firewood, firewood, and charcoal, and wanted to take advantage of the absence of the demons and monsters in the inn during the day, so he simply set the inn on fire.
Fang Yue also thinks that Zhang Xiancheng's idea is not bad, but it is difficult to say whether it will have an effect.
When he arrived at the destination, Fang Yue looked up, and under the sun, the words "Tongfu Inn" on the plaque on the gate were shining.
In the inn, there was silence, and there was no one.
The audience who had already surrounded the surroundings were all ordinary people nearby, and they heard that Zhang Xiancheng was going to burn down the inn and came to see the excitement.
"Today, the official is here to eliminate the harm for the people and burn down this inn occupied by evil spirits. This official is the parent official of Ping'an County,......"
After Zhang Xiancheng made a righteous speech, seeing that the audience did not echo it, he felt dissatisfied in his heart, and wanted to say something more.
The crowd of onlookers was a little anxious, and someone shouted: "My lord, quickly light a fire and burn the evil spirit." ”
"Ignition, ignition." The crowd shouted, their faces filled with fear and excitement.
Zhang Xiancheng then decided to listen to the people's will, coughed twice, and ordered: "Come on, go and prepare." ”
The militia began to move, removing the oil, firewood, charcoal and other materials loaded on the car and throwing them far away into the inn.
Zhang Xiancheng took the torch handed over by his subordinates, put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and walked towards the inn.
When he was a few steps away, he threw the torch into it with all his might.
