When Zhang Kuo came back from Qinghe Town, he was already slightly drunk.

Today is the birthday of the county magistrate Huang Chushan, and he, as the youngest and most promising head catcher in the town, is the person favored and valued by the county magistrate, so he naturally accompanies a few more drinks.

When I came back, I passed by the Yongyi porridge shop, and when I saw that half of the door was open, my eyes softened, and I paced inside.

The porridge bun shop was empty, the cover was just halfway unfolded, and the stove was still simmering, and there was a basket of buns sitting on the stove, and I could already smell some slight burnt smell.

"Where did this girl go?" Zhang Kuo was inexplicable, and walked in to extinguish the fire in the stove.

The wine was a little overwhelmed, he poured a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and wanted to sit for a while and wait for Hemai to come back.

As soon as the tea was opened, he heard someone outside the house shouting, "Fight the fire, put out the fire!" ”

Zhang Kuo dissipated half of his wine, rushed out of the house, and saw a sky-high fire burning in a position in the south of the village, and bursts of black smoke and fog drifted into the dark night sky.

Isn't that place where the Zhang family is!

Zhang Kuo ran to the door of his house, and saw that the gatehouse that was put out by the villagers had been burned to the ground, but the fire was not small, and the raging fire became more and more fierce.

A villager who lived next to Zhang's house recognized Zhang Kuolai and exclaimed, "Zhang Xianggong, how did your house have such a big fire?" My family is about to be affected by you! ”

"When did the fire rise?" Zhang Kuo asked.

"Alas, it's just a cup of tea? At first, the flame was not big, but who knew that it would get bigger and bigger! ”

Hearing the complaints of the villagers, Zhang Kuo's face reflected by the firelight was a little more angry, how could the fire be so hot with a cup of tea? This fire must not be accidental, but man-made persecution!

Since the fire had just burned, the man who threw the fire must still be in the village and did not go far. At least since he returned to the village, he had not seen a single person with a suspicious face, and if he searched now, he would surely find the whereabouts of the firethrower!

If he finds him, he will have to ask him and beat him half to death!

After seeing Zhang Kuo silent for a long time, the villager ran to the village and scolded: "You are so irresponsible! If your own house is on fire but you are not in a hurry, let us put out the fire for you! As the old saying goes, there is no good thing for those who eat public meals! ”

Zhang Kuo didn't hear it, and when the crowd in the village thinned out, he simply tiptoed and flew onto the roof of the house in the village.

After climbing the high place, there were more things under his eyes, and when he saw the place where his house was on fire in the east of the village, there was a chaotic sound in the southwest, and Zhang Kuo did not wait to think about it, and had already swept to the southwest.

Li Changan was wearing the clothes of Hemai, and when he saw that the group of people were following behind him, they were already some distance away from the pawnshop, so he no longer cared about anything, and ran wildly.

Fang was afraid of being recognized that his back was not Hemai, so he didn't dare to run away recklessly, he thought to himself that he would simply take them to the mass grave outside the village at this time, and stunned them, he turned his head back, but he never thought that someone suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Zhang, Brother Zhang!?" Li Changan was taken aback, and quickly recognized Zhang Kuo's identity.

Zhang Kuo looked at him dressed strangely, and the clothes on his body were still a little familiar, frowned and asked, "What is this for?" ”

"Someone drugged Sister Hemai and is now in the pawnshop! You, you go and save her, go find Brother Liulang! ”

Li Changan only had time to say a few words, and then ran away without looking back.

The group behind him quickly chased after him, but where to catch up with Li Changan, and where to see Zhang Kuo who jumped on the roof.

When Zhang Kuo heard the word Hemai, his heart was already anxious, and he flew quickly to Li Changan's pawnshop, only to see the door of the pawnshop smashed on the ground in a mess, and the hall was dark and extremely silent.

"Hemai?!" Zhang Kuo hurriedly called a few times, and searched in the front hall, back hall and side room, but there was no one at all.

There was a pile of scattered clothes next to the well in the courtyard, which belonged to the man's family, Zhang Kuo suddenly remembered that he had seen these clothes on Li Changan, and looked into the well.

Sure enough, under the dark well where the moon shines, there is a person with long black hair, and bubbles bubble from time to time under the water.

Zhang Kuo was shocked, and hurriedly pulled the well rope down the well, and saw that the person under the well was Hemai.

She was wearing only a thin undershirt, and her whole body was soaked in the well water, and her eyes were slightly wrinkled, and she could not answer.

Zhang Kuo patted her face, but he couldn't wake her up, so he had to carry He Mai on his back first.

The wheat had softened like a puddle of water, and it was faint on the ground without any spirit. Zhang Kuo didn't know what was going on, so he said that she choked on water, wrapped her in clothes, and ran to the village hospital.

At this time, in the middle of the night, the hospital had already closed the door, Zhang Kuo tried to pat the door, and after a while, a little boy with an impatient face opened the door.

"What shoot!? The hospital is closed! You go find Lang Zhong elsewhere! The boy impatiently pouted.

Zhang Kuo couldn't care about it, grabbed the boy's collar angrily, and roared: "Lao Tzu is the catcher of Qinghe Town!" Immediately tell your doctor to get out and save people, otherwise Lao Tzu will smash your signboard tomorrow! ”

He was dripping with water, and the evil aura on his face was as vicious as if he was about to eat a child, and the roaring sound was enough to be heard for ten miles in a radius.

The little boy saw that he was a ruthless character, and he was cowardly, and said dumbfounded: "I, my family, Langzhong, was sick yesterday, go ...... I went to Linjiang to visit the sick......"

Zhang Kuo was furious, let go of the boy's collar, kicked the pair of "hanging pot to help the world" on the side of the door panel, and yelled: "Bullshit! ”

He ran to the entrance of the village with Hemai on his back, thinking that there was a man surnamed Zhong at the entrance of the village who had studied medicine for several generations, so he was going there to ask the Zhong family to save people.

But behind him, Hemai's cold body gradually changed, her head was still soft on his shoulder, but her body was gradually like a piece of burning charcoal, soft and hot.

He heard He Mai shout a few words, as if begging for water to drink, his heart was shocked and confused, and she hurriedly returned to the shop, unfolded the bed cover and carried her to the bed, "He Mai, He Mai? ”

She is still sane, so where are the symptoms of a person choking on water? And this hot and red face, and the gradually rising body temperature......

Zhang Kuo has been in and out of Huafeng Pavilion all the year round, and he knows too much about the methods of seeking pleasure in the Qinglou, and he immediately understands what kind of medicine He Mai was given.

He knew that this medicine was not insolvable, and he also knew that this medicine did not have to be relieved by doing things for men and women, as long as he survived the first few hours and waited for the poisonous fire in his body to dissipate, he would be considered to have survived.

But this feeling of burning the body like ten thousand fires is really beyond human bearing.
