“Shen Yao!’
In front of her, Shen Yao was surrounded by raging flames. The soaring flames hurt Ji Zhao’s eyes!
“It’s not like that!
She had clearly made thorough preparations. Why did something still happen to Shen Yao?
Something was not right!
Impossible!
“Ah Tao? Ah Tao?” In the middle of the night, Shen Yao heard Ji Zhao’s painful shout and was immediately woken up.
The girl beside him had her eyes closed and was sweating profusely. She looked very wrong.
“Ah Tao?” In a moment of desperation, Shen Yao could only ruthlessly pinch her acupoint. “Ah Tao, wake up! ‘
Ji Zhao gradually woke up from the pain.
“Shen Yao… fire! A very big fire!”
Through the window, they could still see the soaring flames in the courtyard!
“Don’t be afraid.” Shen Yao first wiped the sweat off her forehead, then carried her in his arms. He turned around and strode towards the kitchen.
“Brother Qin Yong and the others have already dug through the secret passage yesterday.” Shen Yao easily moved the rice vat and lifted the wooden board on it. “Ah Tao, go in first. ‘
“Alright.” Ji Zhao gritted her teeth and slowly walked into the hole. “Ah Yao, come down quickly too?”
“Ah Tao, I still have some things to take. Go back to the Earth Temple and wait for me.”
Without waiting for Ji Zhao to answer, Shen Yao closed the wooden board again!
“Shen Yao?” “Shen Yao!”
At this moment, the Shen family’s courtyard was already on fire.
Meanwhile, Qin Yong and the others were entangled with the group of vicious people who had set the fire!
“Big Brother, the other party has the advantage in numbers. Let’s retreat?” One of the Qin family guards covered the wound that was constantly gushing blood and shouted anxiously, “If we don’t retreat, I’m afraid our brothers won’t be able to keep their lives!”
He didn’t know who the Shen family had offended to actually attract such a group of fiends!
“No!” Qin Yong raised the saber in his hand with all his might and resisted stubbornly!
Seeing his brothers getting injured one after another, Qin Yong became more and more anxious!
“Brother!”
Bang!
One of the brothers was stabbed in the heart by the criminal who set the fire!
Qin Yong was also attacked from the front and back. Seeing that the long sword was getting closer and closer, his heart could not help but skip a beat!
However, the expected pain did not come!
A white figure suddenly appeared in the night. With a long sword in his hand, he leaped into the air and easily pushed away the sharp sword that was about to enter Qin Yong’s forehead!
“Third Young Master Shen?” After seeing who it was, Qin Yong’s eyes were filled with shock.
He really did not expect the gentle-looking Third Young Master Shen to know martial arts.
What surprised him even more was that Third Young Master Shen effortlessly defeated the group of criminals one by one!
“I left them alive.” Shen Yao slowly took out a handkerchief from his pocket. After wiping the blood off his sword, he turned to look at Qin Yong and smiled gratefully. ‘Thank you, Brother Qin, please bring these people back and taking good care of them. It would be best ifwe can get some useful information from them.”
“Alright.” Qin Yong immediately nodded. “Please rest assured, Third Young Master.”
As the Shen family’s fire grew bigger and bigger, the villagers of Shanghe Village were also awakened!
The village chief, Shen Menghu, immediately ordered the young men in the village to start putting out the fire!
It was not until dawn that the fire was completely extinguished.
‘Village Chief, with such a huge fire, Dashan and the others…” Someone in the crowd could not help but ask.
“It can’t be, right? Could it be that the entire family was burned to death?”
“This, this, this… This is too…”
‘Why would the Dashan family suddenly start a fire?”
Just as the villagers gathered outside the Shen family’s mansion and whispered to each other, Ji Zhao successfully arrived at the Earth Temple through the secret passage.
She knelt in front of the Earth God statue and prayed devoutly!
Finally, she heard familiar footsteps.
The moment she turned around, she saw Shen Yao’s smiling face.
“Ah Tao, don’t be afraid.” Shen Yao walked up to her firmly and hugged her. He comforted her softly, “We’ve survived this calamity safely.”
At this moment, Ji Zhao’s face was already covered in tears.
“The village chief has already brought people to put out the fire. No one was injured or killed.” Shen Yao grabbed her shoulder tightly and held her cold palm in his palm. His tone became even gentler. “It’s fine.”
Hearing this, Ji Zhao nodded vigorously.
She turned her head and lay in Shen Yao’s arms, crying uncontrollably.
It was not until 15 minutes later that peace gradually returned.
Ever since she had the nightmare of the fire in the Shen family’s courtyard, Ji Zhao had always felt uneasy. What was even more helpless was that she could not tell Shen Yao the details of the dream, so she could only rely on herself to think of a way to avoid the things in the nightmare.
Fortunately, she succeeded in the end.
“Ah Yao, have you caught the people who set the fire?”
Ji Zhao, who had calmed down, suddenly smelled the smell of blood from Shen Yao’s body. She frowned worriedly. “Are you injured?”
The rusty smell of blood made her feel very uncomfortable.
“No.” Shen Yao shook his head gently. “It’s not my blood.”
“That group of people has already been taken away by Qin Yong.” Shen Yao caressed her cheek and said softly, “Let’s go home first later. We’ll return to the county city later?”
“Okay.”
At dawn, Shen Dashan and Zhao Lanhua also rushed back to the Shen family’s courtyard.
The originally imposing brick house had been reduced to a mess by the fire.
‘Which f*cking b*stard set the fire!” Shen Dashan was so angry that his eyes turned red. He stomped his feet and roared!
“Dashan? Lanhua? You’re still alive?”
Aunt Guihua rushed forward with tears of excitement in her eyes!
“That’s great! You’re still alive! That’s great!’
“Dashan, did you offend someone recently?”
“By the way, where are your children? Are they all right?”
When the villagers saw Shen Dashan and Zhao Lanhua appear in front of everyone safe and sound, they surrounded them excitedly and kept asking questions.
“Alright, alright. Disperse!” Shen Menghu, who was leaning on his walking stick, unintentionally caught a glimpse of Zhao Lanhua’s expression. He frowned thoughtfully and shouted, “Disperse!”
“Thank you, fellow villagers, for putting out the fire!” Zhao Lanhua suddenly stood on a rock at the side and said gratefully, “Thank you, fellow villagers! After my family’s courtyard is renovated, Dashan and I will hold a banquet to thank everyone!”
An hour later, Shen Menghu returned home.
He looked at the silent Zhao Lanhua with a burning gaze.
“Lanhua, tell me honestly, what’s going on with this fire?”
Any normal person would be furious and stunned when they saw their house burned down, but Zhao Lanhua’s eyes were too calm..
