"It's on fire!"

"Fight the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire......"

The raging fire lit up the night, and the sound of shouts pierced the silence.

The strong wind blew the fire from the east slope to the west slope, burning not only Ciyin Temple, but also the mountainside woods.

If you put such a fire, you will lose at least thirty years of merit.

"Let's ...... Is it a little too much? Ning Yehong and Song Che stood on another hill, watching the fire from the other side.

It's too much, it's definitely too much, but the fire has started, and unless God pees, it will be difficult to extinguish it for a while.

"It doesn't matter, the place where we started the fire is an empty treasure hall, and by the time the fire is completely burned, the pilgrims are estimated to have evacuated." Song Che held the binoculars and kept an eye on the movements of Ciyin Temple.

"You've been holding this thing up from the beginning, what's so amazing about it?" Ning Yehong looked curiously at the telescope in Song Che's hand.

Song Che handed the telescope to him, "Just take a look." ”

Ning Yehong was skeptical, learning to put her eyes on the appearance, she didn't know if she didn't know, she couldn't take it down at all, and praised again and again: "It's strange, it's strange, there is such a magical thing in this world." ”

"Do you see what's going on in Ciyin Temple?" Song Che asked with a smile.

Ning Yehong said: "I only saw those monks, carrying buckets to fight the fire. ”

"Front yard or backyard?"

"There's also the front yard, and more of the backyard."

"But it's clear that the fire in the front yard is bigger, why are there more in the backyard?"

"Maybe there's something important hidden in the backyard."

"Yes, there is a 'German and French Building' in the backyard, where Kukai Master lives...... You might as well wait a little longer, and when the fire reaches the backyard, you can see how the monks react. ”

"I'm staring at it."

Half an hour later, the sparks were blown away by strong winds, and the fire spread from the front yard to the backyard.

"God! God! As you said, a large number of monks gathered in front of the German and French buildings and struggled to put out the flames on the periphery. Ning Yehong exclaimed.

"However, the Defa Building is not a scripture pavilion, these monks are so sheltered, it is obvious that there are very important things in it, and they can't be moved for a while,"

Song Che also said: "The pirate leaders will hide in Ciyin Temple, and secretly recruit troops and horses, they must not only do some night flower picking business, since they have committed adultery with Dongying, they must have other purposes;

The reason why I set this fire is threefold -

First, the diversion of innocent pilgrims;

second, insight into the direction of piracy;

third, fatigue pirates;

Let this fire burn a little longer, and when the night is over, even if the fire is not extinguished, the temple will be almost burned to the ground, and after a night of firefighting, the pirates will be weakened, and then you will take people up the mountain and catch them all, it will be easy. ”

After that, he was about to take back the telescope, but Ning Yehong snatched it with his backhand and hid the telescope behind him, like a playful child: "This thing is very good, I bought it with a favor." ”

The telescope is not a rare thing, she will take it if she wants, Song Che smiled: "I have done so many things for you, if you really want to subdivide the favor, Ning Nuxia owes me a lot, let's go back to zero, and we don't owe each other." ”

Ning Yehong hesitated, then handed the telescope back, "Then return this thing to you, you still owe me a favor." ”

What do you say about being impersonal? Even if there is no affection, Song Che will stand here in the same way, just to give each other an excuse to feel at ease.

He shook his head, "You can keep this thing, as a gift for acquaintance, I will return to Suzhou tomorrow afternoon...... Ning Nuxia take good care, there will be a period later. ”

With that, turn around and leave the mountain.

Ning Yehong must be reluctant, but what reason is there to stay?

She could only watch Song Che leave as usual, and when she was out of sight with the naked eye, she looked through the telescope again until the telescope was also out of sight, then she sighed secretly and squatted on the top of the mountain in disappointment.

……

The biggest difference between a smart person and a stupid person is that a smart person knows when and where to stop.

Song Che knew very well what he was doing, if he continued to help Ning Yehong track down, he would inevitably fall into deeper contradictions and set up more enemies for himself.

If he is alone with a clean breeze on his sleeves, he is fearless, but he has a family and a career, and it is not easy for a man to carry these two things on his shoulders.

Chow Tai Fat Jewellery Company.

It's past midnight, but the candles are still lit in the shop.

Song Che thought that there had been such a big change in the Zhou family, and the store should be closed, so he thought about coming here to spend the night, but he didn't expect that there were still people guarding it.

Standing in front of the door and hesitating for a moment, he never had the courage to knock on the door, and he sighed, and was about to turn around and leave—

"Boom!"

But the door opened.

In the dim candlelight, Zhou Yazhao stood behind the door, she was still so weak, so that her eyes kept flickering.

"Song ...... Clear? ”

She didn't know what to call her, calling her nephew bad, and it was unreasonable to call her uncle, so she called her by her name.

"I thought you were back in Suzhou." She opened all the doors and motioned for Song Che to enter the room.

Listening to Zhou Yazhao speak, Song Che was really a little unaccustomed, but since she had been invited, she couldn't say anything about leaving, so he nodded and entered the store.

The candles on the counter were more than half burning, the ledgers were almost piled up, and the ink marks on the annotations had not yet dried up.

Song Che picked up the account book and flipped a few pages, the records were very neat and detailed, and Zhou Dafa's daily turnover was still two or three hundred taels, and it seemed that the business of white jade paste had not been affected.

Zhou Yazhao went back to the counter, picked up the brush and continued to keep accounts.

The atmosphere is inevitably a little awkward in the huge store, with only lonely men and widows, and everyone wants to find something to talk about, but no one knows what to say.

Song Che sighed, "I'll stay in the store for one night tonight, and I'll go back to Suzhou tomorrow afternoon, and my aunt will rest early." With that, he walked to the backyard.

"Song Che." Zhou Yazhao called him.

"What's the matter with Auntie?" Song Che looked back.

Zhou Yazhao's sincere eyes flashed: "Thank you!" ”

These three words are hard to buy.

Song Che turned around and laughed with satisfaction, but waved his hand nonchalantly, "It should be." ”

"And!"

"Huh?"

"Don't call me aunt, we are the same age, and the weaver girl calls me Yazhao."

"Okay."

"And!"

"What's wrong again?"

"How about we go to Beishi tomorrow to see the beheading?"

Song Che was a little surprised by this, and he pursed his lips, "Hmm...... Don't eat breakfast. ”

"Hehehe......" Zhou Yazhao's laughter was like a silver bell, echoing throughout the shop.

Song Che let out a long breath from the bottom of his heart, and somehow, suddenly, everything was relieved.
