Chapter 18: A Strange Fire
"Guest officer, come downstairs with me. ”
There was a crackling sound of wooden blocks, and the two houses that were burning in the front yard collapsed instantly, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Qi Zifeng was even more anxious.
"I have to go in, my two apprentices are still inside..."
"It's too late, come with me, if we don't leave, we really won't be able to get out. ”
"No!" Qi Zifeng flatly refused, "You go quickly, I'll pick them up." "With that, he pulled his sleeve and rushed in.
The two were arguing, and in the sea of fire in front of them, two figures supporting each other appeared in front of them one after another.
"Master!"
The crying voice suddenly sounded, Qi Zifeng rushed to him quickly, and after touching the dark red blood on Murong Zhen's clothes, his pupils contracted twilightly.
"Hey, let's go, or it'll be too late. As he spoke, he grabbed Chen Ke and fled first.
Under the flying snow, the red flames waved and fluttered, and the flames quickly spread throughout the inn. Everyone faced the raging fire, and their faces were dark and incomprehensible.
In the crowd, one of the people turned his head to look at the person next to him with an inquiring face, and the person shook his head invisibly. Facing the unscrupulous fire burning in front of him, he couldn't help but gesture to the people around him and took the lead in withdrawing.
"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again in ecstaty.
Following the sound, everyone looked at it in unison. Four figures next to each other appeared in front of everyone one after another in the light of the fire.
"Shopkeeper, are you alright?"
The visitor waved his hand helplessly, grabbed the outstretched hand and sat down on the area, and then hung his head in frustration. "Junko, have you ever offended anyone in our inn, and how did this fire start so strangely?"
As he said to himself, he handed over a money bag in front of him. "Shopkeeper, this is left by the guy who left just now. ”
"Hey!" he looked up, his eyes were full of raging sparks, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily. "What kind of sin have I made, the good inn is all gone in a blink of an eye. ”
As if in response to his words, with a loud bang, the wooden inn collapsed in an instant.
"Zhen'er, it's okay. ”
"Master, senior brother seems to be injured. ”
"I knew that some of them must have offended someone and affected my old bones, but it's a pity ......"
Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to block the other party's mouth. "Shopkeeper, be quiet!" he said, glancing at the swords carried by the people not far away.
"My inn is gone, and I'm not allowed to say a word. ”
"Senior Brother Jun?" Ziling asked first.
"In two hours it will be dawn, and we will go then." ”
It is clear that this fire was no accident, and the arsonists either wanted to burn some people to death, or they wanted to force them out and destroy them in turn. Now it seems that the person who just left is afraid that there is more luck than luck.
The fire burned for a long time before it was gradually extinguished, and the shopkeeper, who had been hanging his head in contemplation, slapped his head on the door, and without saying more, ran to the backyard of the inn.
"Shopkeeper, there is danger ahead, come back quickly!"
"Junzi, call them up, come with me!" With that, the man had turned the corner and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Everybody..."
The few remaining people looked over one after another, and Xiao Er looked at all kinds of people and horses, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously. I secretly sweated for myself in my heart. "The shopkeeper's ......"
"Lead the way. ”
Xiao Er looked at Qi Zifeng, who was the first to talk, with a grateful face. Turning to the side slightly, he arched his hand and said, "Guest officer, please!"
Everyone turned to the backyard, and the faint candlelight from the few remaining tiled houses poured out quietly from the half-hidden doors. With a 'squeak', the door facing everyone suddenly opened.
"Senior Brother Jun, this inn has burned down, what does he mean by calling us to the backyard?"
"yes, yes, you won't kill us to vent your anger. Another added hurriedly.
"Shut up!" Listening to the two of them chattering non-stop, Ziling turned her head and reprimanded.
"Senior brother, are you okay with your hand?"
"It's okay, it's okay, brother, I'm fine. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, today has shocked everyone. These tiled houses have been inspected just now, and there is no damage, if you don't dislike it, you can spend the night here. As he spoke, a glance passed, and Xiao Er was busy leading the rest of the people
"Looks like I've wronged him. ”
"Not really. You are a typical villain's heart!"
"Hey, don't say it, don't say it, and I'm not a good person anymore. ”
"Che, you're a good guy too?"
"You two, what are you muttering there?
Hearing the voice, the two of them immediately stood upright unconsciously, and when they saw the person staring at them in front of them, they were both stunned. Just as he was worried, a plain white figure came into view. "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing. With that, he touched his companion's arm, and the two hurriedly saluted and ran out after everyone quickly.
"Senior Brother Jun!"
Jun Cheng retracted his gaze and looked at Ziling who was walking towards him, and his eyebrows twitched unconsciously.
"Senior Brother Jun!"
"It's almost dawn, let's go in and rest. After that, without waiting for Ziling to make any moves, he didn't take a second look, turned his head and walked to the side.
Ziling's face turned pale, clenched the long sword in his hand, and the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth slowly solidified, and his emotions fluctuated, so that he would not lose his temper in public. It wasn't until Su Bai's figure completely blended into the night that Ziling muttered 'Senior Brother' half affectionately and half painfully.
