When Doro and Rounu came to the Great Kang, it was already the second watch.

There were people in the house who had already slept, and there were people who had not, drinking and chatting there. Naturally, Dora and Ronu entered the house, and they couldn't escape their sight.

A middle-aged man with a wine jug in his hand, it seemed that he was almost drunk, and when he saw Doro and Ronu coming, he didn't say anything, so he lay down in a cotton robe, and came up and said to Doro.

"This man, wearing a robe to sleep on the kang, do you want to occupy more kang?"

Another man behind him, tall and tall, followed his voice.

"Sixi, don't ask so much, people are people's business, occupy more kang, let the store charge more money for wine, what do you care about? Come back soon, let's get on with the drink! ”

After saying that, the man slapped the table so vigorously that it made people feel that the thick snow on the roof could fall in piles.

Here Dora pretended not to hear, and did not talk. I only felt that the person behind him turned over vigorously and fell asleep again.

"Where did you come from, you don't even say a word, when you turn around, my brother asks you to drink, and he can make you vomit anything."

After saying that, he staggered and returned to his original position.

As soon as he sat down with the wine jug, he heard a clang, and a wine jar was knocked over by his head, and all the people with the wine jar fell to the ground.

The other man was still standing there, looking at him.

"Don't run, drink! Drink! ”

After saying that, he also collapsed on the table, and then the whirring snoring came out.

The shopkeeper walked out of the back room, looked down at everything in front of him, and shook his head helplessly.

"It's all drunk like this, how can you get on the kang? Sleep on the floor, and I'll make the fire hotter again, and it won't freeze at night anyway. ”

After saying that, he ignored them and squatted down in front of the stove as if they did not exist.

After adding the fire, the shopkeeper also stretched out and yawned.

"I'm so sleepy! I don't know if this heavy snow can stop tonight! ”

He babbled to himself, cleaned up the scraps on the table, put away the jar and jug on the floor, and went straight to sleep in the back room, regardless of the staggering appearance of the two men.

At this time, Doro felt a lot more relaxed, he knew that Rounu was not sleeping either, and both of them were worried about the actions of the two drunken men just now, and they were afraid that something would happen.

Seeing those two people lying down because of drunkenness, I couldn't help but feel that my heart was much more spacious, and because I didn't sleep well because I was so cold last night, the hot kang now makes people feel more and more tired, and even Doro can't help but fight up and down his eyelids, he can't hold it anymore, and gradually begins to feel dizzy, feeling like he is going to sleep.

Just when he wanted to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a lot of empty space behind him. He deliberately moved his body backwards, but still didn't touch anyone. He thought, maybe he got up at night, but he wanted to fall asleep but didn't dare to fall asleep, so he held on for a while.

It felt like a long time, and the man behind him didn't come back, he deliberately turned his body over and turned his back up.

The person next to him seems to be no longer around, but on this cold winter night, except for the grass hut and the big kang connected to these rooms, where can that person go? Most of the other people were snoring like thunder, driving cars and walking, and dozens of people slept on most of the kang. The soft slave in front of him also seemed to be a little asleep, but there was no trace of the man.

Doro was a little alert at this time, and he wanted to get up and pretend to be relieved to see what was going on outside. However, one of his legs still doesn't seem to obey.

He hesitated for a moment. However, the sensitivity of going out and the protection of himself and the soft slave, he still decided to find out.

Thinking of this, he pushed the rou slave with his hand, and when he saw that she didn't react, he stopped caring about her. At least there is still some distance between Rounu and the others, and it is still safe.

He limped off the kang and slowly groped his way to the doorway along the wall. If the person asks about something, he will say that he is going out for a small explanation, and others should not suspect anything.

Step by step, he moved forward, past the two drunkards, who were sleeping soundly, and there seemed to be some wine flowing from their mouths.

The walls were dimly lit with oil lamps like fireflies, and it was impossible to see a person's face.

When he moved to the door, he looked out a few times, and it was white in front of him. Heavy snow had covered the road in front of the gate and in the courtyard, and there was nothing to be seen in the distance, and certainly not a single figure.

He stood at the door, didn't see the person, and felt an inexplicable worry in his heart. Then, after a small release, he returned to the kang.

Seeing that the kang was very crowded, it was impossible for that person to squeeze inside. I just don't know where the man went overnight, which makes Dorofei a little suspicious.

However, since I can't know the whereabouts of this person, I can only pay more attention. He couldn't sleep tonight anyway, and he had to be ready to leave with Ronu at any time.

Just as he was about to get back on the kang, he suddenly heard a bang in the room where the shopkeeper slept, and then he saw a fire suddenly rising in that room.

"Oh no, there's a fire!"

Doro hurriedly pushed the Rou Nu awake.

"Wake up, there's a fire, there's a fire! Wake up, everyone! ”

Doro's voice instantly became louder.

As soon as they heard that there was a fire, everyone on the kang hurriedly got up in a panic.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"It's a fire, hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Up, there's a fire!"

Dozens of people, shirtless busy getting dressed, and sleeping dressed and sleeping, busily got up.

Over there, I saw the shopkeeper rushing out of the house, still wearing a jacket.

"Hurry up and help me put out the fire!"

Then, I saw everyone split up to look for water, but in front of the courtyard and behind the house, where was there any extra water! Some of the people rushed out of the house, only to watch the fire coming out of the roof.

Rounu was fully conscious, standing beside Doro, and asked nervously.

"Why did it catch fire in a good way? On this snowy day, how can it be possible to cause a fire when it is snowing heavily? ”

"I don't know, Xu is in his room at night, afraid of the cold, is there a fire in the house." Doro looked at Ronu and didn't say anything.

Although, at this moment, the person who disappeared just now did not appear in the crowd, and the fire burned even more fiercely along the grass hut.

Many have led their horses farther away. And the two drunkards have also been pulled out

The crowd stood outside the house, and there was nothing they could do except pour some water from the pre-stored jar.

Because there is only one inn within a radius of more than ten miles.

The fire gradually burned into the house behind it, forming a row of burning shapes, reflecting the whole snowy night.

The shopkeeper crouched on the ground and cried bitterly. There were also a few people whispering.

"This is someone deliberately setting fire, otherwise, how could a house burn on a snowy day like this? And there's something in the house! ”

"The store opened a black store, this is someone taking revenge!"

"Who knows, even on this snowy day, if the fire doesn't come down, we can survive this night."

"It's almost the third watch, this flame can't be extinguished, and there will be nothing tomorrow."

Everyone was talking, but no one stepped forward to help. All the available water sources were used, and no one else could help outside of this wilderness.

Doro stood in the snow with the Rounu in his arms, snuggling up to each other. They look at everything in front of them, but they can't do anything about it. Fortunately, both of them are safe, which is already a blessing.

"You say, you saw that the man you saw before you went to bed suddenly disappeared?"

Ronu looked at Doro and asked, apparently Doro had told her the truth.

"Yes. He may have left on horseback, and when I opened the door, the snow had blocked the way to the door, but the inn was in the middle of the wilderness, and it was in all directions, and I didn't look around, so I might have left from somewhere else. ”

Runu asked, looking at Doro.

"According to you, does this arson case have anything to do with that person?"

"There must be something to do with it, even if it wasn't the person who deliberately set the fire, it definitely can't get out of it. This is not an ordinary fire, a general fire place, just bring some water to extinguish it, and this is still a heavy snow day, the weather itself is cold, not easy to catch fire. But this time, it was burned and soon connected, indicating that there must have been dry firewood stored in the house, or something that could be easily burned. ”

Doro replied in the affirmative.

"So what do we do now? Your legs aren't completely healed, and you wanted to get a good night's sleep, but you encountered a fire, and it looks like God doesn't want you to get a good night's sleep. ”

Ronu said worriedly.

"It's okay for my legs, the herbs from the store work very well, at least now my legs don't hurt too much. It will take a few days to get completely well. It's just that we have nothing but two horses now, and those luggage and baggage are gone, so I don't know if we can get to my sister. With that, Doro glanced around.

Not far away, he noticed a carriage, which was probably the only one among the guests.

In front of the carriage stood a small servant, who looked like he was not a guest who had been staying here for a few days, but who was preparing to stay overnight.

"It's just that carriage, I don't know who it is? If not, let's try our luck. ”

Doro glanced at Ronu.

"You wait here, I'll go over there and have a look."

"Let's go over together." Doro looked at the rou slave who was following him closely, and was afraid that there would be any accidents at this moment, so he nodded and agreed to the rounu's request.

The two walked towards the carriage.

When they approached the carriage, they saw the little man crouching on the ground, tending to the wheels of the carriage, as if the carriage had broken down.

"May I ask this brother, is your carriage going to leave tomorrow?"

The little guy stood up and didn't pay attention to Doro, but pointed his finger inside the caravan, meaning to ask Doro to ask the people inside.

Doro gently lifted the curtain with his hand, and was stunned for a moment!
