Chapter 50: On Fire
"Uncle, although I didn't know what happened just now, but I heard our old Cao say, you have helped us solve it, I am a woman, and I don't know what to say, I salute you for this glass of wine." Cao Feng's wife picked up a small glass of beer and said to Uncle Li.
"Okay, you're welcome, it's all a gesture." Uncle Li also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Cao Feng used his thin arms as wooden sticks, and put chopsticks into himself one chopstick after another, saying: "It seems that my appetite has suddenly improved, I haven't felt so hungry for a long time." ”
Looking at his appearance, several people around him were full of comfort, Lei Baoquan smiled and said: "I see that you were in good health before, take good care of yourself, and you will be able to gain weight back soon." ”
"Through this time, I have some belief in ghosts and gods." Cao Feng's wife said.
"No one can say for sure about this thing, if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you won't believe it, I still advise you not to believe it, so that you won't always think in your heart, life is still the same as before, how good it is." Uncle Li said earnestly.
"Yes, what the uncle said is right, I found that the uncle is a very wise person." Li Bai began to praise Uncle Li again, "Although his old man has a high attainment in this strange thing, he does not use it to obtain huge profits and the pursuit of others, but also persuades others to look at it correctly." This is something that many people can't do. ”
"Come on, don't put a hat on me, this is something that anyone with a little conscience does." Uncle Li didn't think he was noble.
"That being said, the problem is that there aren't many people with a conscience right now." Jin Guo also said sincerely.
"In this world, in the end, there are still many good people, just like the 'friends' we see, how many of them are evil ghosts? Most of them don't have any purpose or bad intentions, and just happen to be seen while wandering. Uncle Li said.
The others nodded, in fact, from the beginning of the unknown of this kind of supernatural event to the fear in the process, and then gradually came into contact with it and slowly understood, several people felt from their hearts that in fact, ghosts are no one to fear, and the appearance of ghosts may scare you, but the human heart is what really scares you to death.
It was rare to be happy to eat a meal, and after giving Cao Feng some instructions, several people left Cao Feng's house. On the way, Li Bai was in a good mood and said, "We have also done a great thing and saved his life." ”
"I'm very puzzled, he's like this, why is he in no hurry to find a cure." Jin Guo couldn't figure it out.
Lei Baoquan smiled and said: "Nowadays, people have a common problem, they always feel that bad things will not fall on their heads, even if they encounter unlucky things, they have luck in their hearts, and they think that it will not happen." It dragged on like this, and in the end, it was too late to regret it. ”
"Makes sense! I didn't expect Uncle Lei to be able to summarize this kind of high theory. Li Bai clapped his hands and said.
"Summing up a fart, do you still need to summarize this kind of thing? Aren't you like that? Lei Baoquan asked.
Li Bai thought about it, he seemed to be this kind of person, and shook his head.
When they arrived at the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms and prepared to take a rest, and Jin Guo stood at the door sniffing something. Li Bai couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, and said, "Brother Guo, what are you doing?" What about nose exercises? ”
"I seem to smell something." Jin Guo said.
"Huh?" Lei Baoquan also walked to the door after hearing this, smelled it for a long time, and said, "It seems to have a little smell, a burnt smell." ”
"Don't catch fire, do you?" Li Bai became vigilant.
"Impossible." Jin Guo looked around, and there was no sign of fire.
"Go down and tell the fat man to come up and have a look." Uncle Li was about to take a nap and wanted to solve this matter quickly.
"Fatty!" Li Bai shouted downstairs.
Downstairs there was a burst of footsteps going up the stairs, followed by the voice of the little fat man: "What's wrong with you guys?" I just wanted to take a nap. ”
"You smell it, what does it smell like?" Jin Guo said.
The little fat man didn't understand what it meant, so he sniffed it as they said, and said, "What does it smell?" ”
"Smell carefully."
The little fat man sniffed hard again and said, "I don't smell it." ”
"What else do you think you can do? You go upstairs and see if there's anything on fire. Jin Guo said.
The little fat man was stunned: "Hold... Fire? ”
"Go." Jin Guo shouted.
"Hey... Hey, I'll check it out. The little fat man hurriedly ran upstairs to investigate.
Li Bai also sniffed back and forth in the corridor, there was indeed a burning smell, he slowly followed the smell forward, and actually came to the haunted room. Li Bai stuck to the door and sniffed it carefully, and the smell seemed to emanate from inside.
"Here! Here's it! Li Bai hurriedly turned around and called the others.
When the others saw that Li Bai had found a location, they all rushed over.
"Yes, it's here." Jin Guo sniffed it and said.
"Could it be that the female ghost is here again?" Li Bai was jealous.
"It's fine." The little fat man came down from the stairs with a self-muttering thing.
"Come, fatty, open the door." Lei Baoquan shouted.
"What are you doing?" The little fat man saw that several people were standing at the door of the haunted room, and hurriedly walked over.
"You smell it, it looks like something is burnt." Jin Guo said.
"Really?" The little fat man was stunned, and quickly sniffed it, it did smell something, he quickly took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, everyone was stunned, the sheets and quilts on the bed in the room had already caught fire, and the fire had not yet spread, but the room was already full of smoke.
Lei Baoquan was the first to react, rushed into the house, picked up the pillow next to him that had not been burned and hit the quilt, and shouted to the little fat man: "Quick! Fire extinguisher! ”
"Yes, fire extinguishers! Go get it! Li Bai shouted.
The little fat man looked sad and said helplessly: "We didn't... There are no fire extinguishers. ”
"I don't have a fire extinguisher, how can I open a shop?" Jin Guo asked.
"There used to be, but then I don't know who took it......" The little fat man replied with a lack of confidence.
"Don't talk nonsense here, get water!" Lei Baoquan shouted anxiously.
"Good, good." The little fat man replied in a loud voice, and went to the bathroom of their room with Li Bai to fill the water.
Uncle Li was already lying on the bed, and when he heard a lot of movement outside, he got up, and it happened that Li Bai and the little fat man rushed into the room to find water.
Uncle Li asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"With... It's on fire! The little fat man replied.
Uncle Li was startled, and quickly got up and followed the two to the haunted room, only to see Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo struggling to fight the fire on the bed. Li Bai and the little fat man walked over and poured a basin of water on it, and the fire suddenly became smaller, so several people worked for nearly ten minutes before the fire was suppressed.
"How? Are you all alright? Lei Baoquan gasped and asked.
"It's fine."
"How could this catch fire for no reason?" The little fat man looked at the mess and was very puzzled.
Uncle Li walked in, looked at the mess around him, suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look out the window. The figure of a woman appeared outside the window, her hair covering her face, as if staring at everything in the room.
Uncle Li saw that this was the female ghost, because this was the third floor.
