Chapter 16: The Fire
Suddenly, there was a shrill fire truck whistle outside the window, and a noise in the street outside could be heard.
I subconsciously ran towards the window, and I saw several fire trucks constantly driving towards the back of the street, and many people were also constantly following the direction of the fire trucks in that direction.
This familiar scene instantly reminded me of the moment when Wang Feiyang's house was wiped out before, and it was also like this, many people ran in one direction, which means that something big happened in Baijie again.
"What's going on?" Wang Feiyang also walked towards me and looked out the window.
"I don't know, it must be where the fire is!" Although I answered casually, I always felt strange in my heart, and suddenly, my nerves seemed to be pulled by something, and a terrible thought instantly appeared in my mind.
I turned my head and looked at Wang Feiyang seriously and asked, "Zuo Daoyin called us just now, did you hear any strange feelings from it?" ”
Wang Feiyang was silent for two seconds, and replied Yes, I heard a kind of desperation in his voice, and the words he said to you even seemed to be explaining what was going on.
I hit a spirit, and instantly realized that the direction in which these fire trucks were driving was not the direction of Zuo Daoyin's house?
"It's not good, it should be Zuo Daoyin's house on fire."
Wang Feiyang and I rushed out of the hotel as soon as possible, and then followed the crowd running towards the back of White Street, along the way I grabbed a neighborhood next to me to inquire about the situation, and sure enough, as I expected, there was a fire over there, which was Zuo Daoyin's house.
When we came to Zuo Daoyin's house, it was already crowded with people, and the two-story old-fashioned attic of Zuo Daoyin's house in front of us was already in a sea of fire.
The fire was very large, and Zuo Daoyin's house was an old-fashioned attic, and the main structure was made of wood, so as soon as the fire spread, the whole building was instantly plunged into a sea of fire.
Three fire trucks parked on the street outside Zuo Daoyin's house, and although the firefighters had tried hard to aim the sprinklers at the burning house, it didn't do much.
The firelight illuminated half of the night sky, illuminating most of the white street as if it were day, and Wang Feiyang and I stood in place like a stake, looking at the two-story attic emitting billowing smoke over there, and was directly dumbfounded.
Why did Zuo Daoyin's house suddenly catch fire, was it the female ghost, or did Zuo Daoyin set fire to his own house by himself?
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from all around, and almost everyone focused their eyes on the front of the house, and at the gate, a rickety figure stood there motionless.
"It's Mr. Zuo! Go and save him. ”
Someone immediately recognized that the person was Zuo Daoyin, at this time he stood motionless at the door of his house, behind him, there was a sea of fire, in fact, if he escaped from it at this time, there must be hope of survival, but he did not escape at all, as if he did not know that he had fallen into the brink of life and death.
Someone around began to shout Zuo Daoyin's name and told him to flee quickly, and at the same time, some firefighters began to stride towards Zuo Daoyin, but Zuo Daoyin acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and then, he made an even more crazy move.
Because it was too far away and the fire was too big, I couldn't see Zuo Daoyin's face clearly, but I could feel that he was now staring at me and Wang Feiyang with his glaucoma.
I just wanted to instinctively tell Zuo Daoyin to run, but he turned around at this time, and he was not afraid in the face of the raging fire, and walked directly into the sea of fire, leaving us with a desolate back.
"Don't!"
There were more and more screams around, and I was also shocked into a cold sweat, and the firefighter who rushed to the front tried to pull Zuo Daoyin back, but he was still a step slow, and a burning beam fell from the sky, forcing the firefighter to quickly retreat to the street, and then with a bang, the building in front of him completely collapsed, and Zuo Daoyin was also buried in the fire.
At this moment, I felt a chill all over my body, Luo Xiu died, and now Zuo Daoyin is also dead, everyone is dead, and the rest are only me and Wang Feiyang, the two stunned people who have not dried up.
The screams around me were still wave after wave, and although the firefighters kept spraying water into the fire, it was to no avail, and I felt so uncomfortable that I didn't even dare to look that way anymore.
I turned around slowly, took a deep breath, and wanted to leave this place quickly, when suddenly, Wang Feiyang, who was next to me, strode towards the alley next door as if he had discovered something.
I was shocked, and I also followed Wang Feiyang's footsteps for the first time, and soon, we ran into this alley, Wang Feiyang stood motionless in the middle of the alley, looking around with a very cold look.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Wang Feiyang shook his head after looking around for a while, and then whispered that he might have hallucinated.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a chill constantly approaching my back, I turned around suddenly, and suddenly saw a figure rushing towards me, I subconsciously blocked my face with my hand, and then I felt a chill all over my body, as if a piece of ice suddenly penetrated through my chest, and the next moment it pierced out of my back.
After a moment, I felt the cold chill get farther and farther away from me, and I turned sharply again, and I saw that inside our alleyway, the woman in the red turtleneck sweater and tight bell bottoms was moving towards the end of the alleyway at lightning speed.
"Yang Li? What the do you want to do. ”
I roared loudly into the alleyway, and I didn't feel much fear at this time, and I didn't even think about it and rushed towards the woman, I wanted to punch her in the head no matter who she was, whether she was a human or a ghost.
The woman stopped at the end of the alleyway, and then her pale face threw a weird smile at me, and then she turned and disappeared into the alleyway.
I clenched my fists and pounded hard on the wall until my fists were covered with blood and I didn't stop, what the hell was that stupid woman trying to do? If she is really Yang Li, if she wants to come to me for revenge, just kill me directly, why do you keep playing with me like this.
"Calm down."
Wang Feiyang came over and grabbed my fist, and I calmed down.
Outside the lane, the left road is still in flames, and even the inside of this laneway is illuminated as if it is day, I looked at Wang Feiyang in front of me and asked him what to do now?
"Do you believe that female ghost, it was Yang Li back then?"
"I believe it!" I nodded heavily, and then asked Wang Feiyang, do you think today's fire was set by Zuo Daoyin himself, or was it done by the female ghost?
Wang Feiyang pondered for a moment, and then replied that it should be the female ghost, because Zuo Daoyin had no motive to commit suicide at all, and in the end, Zuo Daoyin should have been manipulated by the female ghost because he went to the sea of death, so after Zuo Daoyin's death, the female ghost would appear in this lane, and she had been around all the time, watching every move on the scene.
My thoughts are similar to Wang Feiyang's, but what I don't understand is why Zuo Daoyin called us as if he was explaining the aftermath before he died, but after thinking about it, Zuo Daoyin is a hexagram, and he can calculate that his death is coming, but what is the purpose of everything he called us to say?
Could it be that Zuo Daoyin simply wants to help us? But I think this is unlikely, because everything that is happening at the moment, according to normal thinking, is all in accordance with the cause and effect that Luo Xiu told us, Yang Li was buried alive by my grandfather, and now she is back to take revenge, except for me and Wang Feiyang, all the people related to this matter seem to be dead, and the next person to die must be me and Wang Feiyang.
That female ghost is Yang Li!
I was completely convinced of this point of view, and then I patted Wang Feiyang on the shoulder and asked him to go.
"Where to go?" Wang Feiyang seemed to be still pondering, and asked me coldly.
"Go to the back mountain to dig a coffin!"
