Chapter 31 The Burning of the Swallow Tower
Holding the lighter, he was in a dilemma for a while, Zhang Hao's words were obviously pointed, what was he referring to? Jiang Yuan asked me to retrieve the lighter, but he gave me the ability to judge right and wrong by myself, and not to listen to others in everything.
Before I met Jiang Yuan, I had always been a very assertive person, but I don't know why, after meeting him, as long as I acted with them, my assertiveness immediately disappeared.
"This swallow building must be burned." Zhang Yang stretched out his hand in front of me.
I hesitated with the lighter, and when I looked back at Jiang Yuan, I found that there was no one behind me.
"Jiang Yuan is gone." I shouted.
Zhang Hao immediately retreated after hearing this, and when he retreated to the rocky beach with me, I felt that I had kicked something, and when I looked down, it turned out to be the notebook.
I was pleasantly surprised and wanted to bend down to pick it up, but Zhang Hao stopped me, saying that it must be strange for this notebook to suddenly appear here.
We held the miner's lamp and flashlight and slowly approached it, Zhang Hao picked up a small pebble on the rocky beach, swish, the notebook turned over in response to the sound of the stone falling to the ground, we stood aside and waited for a while, and suddenly a big centipede slowly crawled out of a page of the notebook, the fiery red color is very beautiful.
The law of nature is like this, the more showy things are often poisonous, and following this truth, I am sure that this big centipede is poisonous.
"Thank you." I looked at Zhang Hao with palpitations, "If you hadn't stopped me in time, I'm afraid"
"You're so stupid, I really don't know why Jiang Yuan chose you." After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he took out a black glove from his backpack, put it on, picked up the big centipede with his bare hands, and observed it carefully.
It's not the first time I've heard Zhang Hao say I'm stupid, the first time and the second time, I can think that this person is pretending to be coercive and deliberately belittling others to show his ability, but after listening to it a lot, I can't help but have some doubts in my heart, why does he always target me, what does it have to do with him whether I'm stupid or not?
The big centipede kept twisting its body in Zhang Hao's hands, I stood in the distance and visually measured its body length of about fifteen centimeters, the black eyes glowed with a strange light, the more in the dark place, the more clearly I could see, the more legs are the signs of a centipede, but this centipede does have more feet, densely packed It seems to be more than one row, or even more.
Zhang Hao took two steps in the direction of the swallow tower with the centipede, and then said to me: "The swallow tower is their habitat, and they are the ones who just swam past in the water." ”
I wondered, "Can centipedes swim?" ”
Zhang Hao sighed helplessly, "Then have you ever seen the terracotta warriors and horses that can go?" ”
I was speechless when I asked this, and I swore in my heart that I would never talk to him again, but when I thought so, I still asked, "Then what should we do?" The notebook came back, and Jiang Yuan lost it again. ”
Zhang Hao put the centipede into a glass bottle, then smiled at me and said, "I found you quite strange, who is he, why do you care so much about him?" ”
I said, "You can't say that, we're friends anyway, aren't you worried?" ”
Zhang Hao sneered, and said while putting the glass bottle into his backpack: "Friend? You're really interesting, and I'm beginning to understand why Jiang Yuan chose you. ”
I listen awkwardly, what does my heart say is choice, this is not an object, choice, why does it sound so disgusting?
"You're my friend, too."
Zhang Hao looked at me in surprise, bent down and picked up the notebook on the ground and threw it to me and said, "You Xiao family's things are taken care of by yourself, besides, I have no friends." ”
I took the notebook and opened it to look at it, I found that a few pages in the middle were missing, it should have been torn away, I suddenly thought of a key, and said: "The notebook is missing a few pages, Jiang Yuan is also missing, will there be anything in between?" ”
Zhang Hao asked me: "You mean, Jiang Yuan tore off a few pages in his notebook and then ran away with him?" ”
To be honest, I did think so, but I also thought about it with another way, "There is another possibility." ”
Zhang Hao stretched out his hand to me again, "Give me the lighter." ”
I still hesitated and said, "Have you ever thought that someone understood the information on those pages and arrested Jiang Yuan, which was premeditated. ”
Zhang Hao ignored me and just said, "Give me the lighter." ”
His voice was a little anxious, but I thought of the golden phoenix silk book in the swallow building, and the outstretched hand retracted again, "You can't burn it." ”
"Why?" Zhang Hao looked back at me, "Reason." ”
I stuck my laptop on my waist, walked up to him, pointed to the swallow tower, and said, "There's something in here, and you'll destroy it all with a fire." ”
Zhang Hao looked at me with great suspicion, "Jin Feng Silk Book? ”
I was stunned, nodded, and didn't speak.
Zhang Hao looked at me sharply, and in a second, I felt that my hand was pricked by something, and then the lighter was gone.
The fire is getting closer to the Swallow Tower, and I want to stop it, but it's too late.
After the lighter landed on the eaves, in less than thirty seconds, the two-meter-high Swallow House Library was engulfed in flames.
I took off my shirt and pounced on it after it was dipped in water, Zhang Hao wrapped my waist with a mountaineering rope, and I felt like I was rising in the air and lying on the rocky beach.
Got up and didn't care about the pain, picked up the clothes that fell on the ground and continued to rush into the fire, Zhang Hao impatiently grabbed me and dragged me to him, saying, "You fool, the golden phoenix silk book has already been taken away." ”
I was stunned by what he said, "What? ”
Zhang Hao pointed to the raging fire and said: "These centipedes are the guardians of the Golden Phoenix Silk Book, the patriarch Ling Que spent his whole life raising these centipedes, their role is to guard, once the Golden Phoenix Silk Book leaves the library pavilion, these centipedes will track down, you think about it yourself." ”
I quickly skimmed over everything that had just happened, the swarms of centipedes in the water, the centipedes in the notebook, the centipedes in the swallow building.
"Jiang Yuan?" I shouted.
Zhang Hao looked at the raging fire with a serious expression, "Look, there is not a single centipede left, which means that they have gone to track it." ”
I said, "Jiang Yuan, this bastard, even lied to me." ”
Zhang Hao threw out a short sword, this short sword is not the first time I have seen it, it should be something that is standard for people in their organization, "Someone is pretending to be Jiang Yuan, we are too careless." ”
"Oops." As I walked, I said, "We have to find them right away." ”
Zhang Hao hesitated a little and asked me, "What's the matter?" ”
I touched my neck and said, "I was worried that I would be targeted, so I secretly stuffed the key that Zhang Yang gave me into Jiang Yuan's pocket." ”
When Zhang Hao heard this, he immediately stopped, calmed down for more than a minute, and suddenly pointed at me and said, "Talent." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, his short sword had already put on a posture of attacking at any time, I know that the situation is serious, Jiang Yuan said, as long as the key is there, we will all be safe, but now, I don't dare to think about it, I just wade behind Zhang Hao.
The swallow tower behind me collapsed in the fire, and I suddenly understood why Zhang Hao had to burn down this exquisite building, it turned out to be because of this.
