Chapter 82 82. Arson?
The majestic paint-red gate of Qin Mansion was shrouded in thick smoke.
The red lanterns hanging on both sides gave off a faint light, which was far less dazzling than the tongues of fire spreading behind the gate.
This scene is extremely shocking in the extremely cold weather.
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi came all the way looking for the fire, and were shocked speechless by what they saw in front of them.
How could there be such a big fire on such a cold day?
What a joke.
This is going to burn down the entire Qin Mansion!
Cheng Xi stood in front of the Qin Mansion, with a raging fire in front of her and a cold land of ice and snow behind her. The extremes of hotness and coldness gave her a sense of absurdity.
This fire is mostly man-made.
"Someone came to the Qin Mansion to grab food?"
"It's important to save people first."
Shen Xingluo's black eyes showed a bit of murderousness in the sky-high firelight.
His shock was not because of the water leakage in winter, but - it turned out that the fire in Qin Mansion happened today!
Due to the gap of two lifetimes, he was in Shenjia Village at this time in his previous life. He later learned about the burning of the Qin Mansion after hearing rumors.
I have no memory of the specific day when the fire broke out.
But now looking at the endless fire, he was extremely sure.
Today is the day!
"Follow me."
Shen Xingluo grabbed the hand of the person standing beside him and rushed forward. Along the way, he met many servants wearing maid's and boy's clothes running around.
At this time, no one cared about the other, so the sudden intrusion of the two people did not attract any attention, only panicked screams from everyone.
"Ahem, we're running into water, we're running into water!"
"Ah - run!"
"Why are you running? Put out the fire first!"
>
“But. Where is the water?”
The temperature during the snowstorm was already so low that any water was frozen into ice.
And if you want to put out a fire, where can ice and water be used?
This is also the reason why the fire gets bigger and bigger after it burns. There is not enough water to put it out!
Cheng Xi's heart sank, and then he quickened his pace.
The two walked through several familiar corridors, and soon arrived at a four-story building.
"This is where the Qin family and his wife live."
Shen Xingluo took people aside to a rockery away from the flames, his eyes showing unprecedented seriousness.
"Xi'er, it's dangerous inside. You stay here, I'll come out soon."
"No!"
Cheng Xi grabbed him, " Do you know the danger?”
The fire is so strong that it has burned from the first floor to the third floor. If you go in now, you will die!
"I have to go, maybe Qin Zheng is inside."
In fact, Shen Xingluo is not sure whether that idiot with a bad brain is still in the building at this time in his previous life. He took a few boys to have a snowball fight.
But now that he is reborn, maybe things are not static.
What if?
And there were actually the Qin family and his wife inside - he had already heard the cries for help inside.
Cheng Xi rolled her eyes, "You have to go, can't you just rush in? You have to make some preparations."
She looked around and saw a few things on the ground. A boy who fainted took off the coat of one of them.
The fire was so intense that the snow on the ground had already turned into puddles of water.
It is indeed difficult to put it in a pot, but it is enough.
She quickly wetted the ground with her clothes and tied them on Shen Xingluo's head.
"Cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth, be careful not to choke the smoke inside, and be sure to pay attention to safety. If it doesn't work, you must exit."
Shen Xingluo's eyes were darker than before. After a few minutes, he uttered a word after a moment of silence.
"Okay."
The figure quickly disappeared in the fire. Cheng Xi's heart suddenly lifted.
She really wanted to stop Shen Xingluo from entering. After all, the Qin family had little relationship with her, and Qin Zheng had only met her twice.
I thought of all the weird things about cheap couples, and I figured it out.
Since she is a person with opportunities like her, she must have considered the pros and cons.
But even so, I couldn't help but feel worried, and my brain was quickly thinking of countermeasures.
Shen Xingluo's martial arts and flexibility are very good, so there should be no problem getting in
What about bringing the three of them out intact?
Cheng Xi looked around, took off the coats of the other boys again, wetted them, and then spliced them together to form a rope.
“It’s quite strong.”
Hopefully it can bear the weight of two adults.
She climbed up the highest rockery and fixed one end of a freshly baked thick rope to a big tree that had not been eroded by the flames.
Cheng Xi closed his eyes and thought, and a set of alloy rock climbing tools appeared in his hands.
That is an anti-fall safety rope, which can be fixed on the hip.
When she tied the other end of the thick rope to the rock climbing tool, Shen Xingluo, who had climbed to the third floor, appeared in front of her.
And he was holding two figures on the left and right, walking with difficulty in the fire.
"Shen Xingluo!"
The person opposite raised his head, still shining brightly in the firelight and thick smoke.
“Catch!”
Cheng Xi was glad that he was strong enough to throw the tool in his hand to the attic ten meters away.
Shen Xingluo put the two of them aside, caught the thing and examined it for a moment.
Cheng Xi could only teach how to use anti-fall tools by shouting. However.
The next moment, she saw that Shen Xingluo had already put something on one of them.
She: "."
Is this the difference between monsters and normal people?
Shen Xingluo brought him to the handrail on the third floor. At this time, he was only five or six meters away from Cheng Xi.
"The force of the swing is very strong, can you catch it?"
"No problem."
Cheng Xi grabbed a branch with one hand to steady himself, and saw a figure standing sideways. Come towards yourself quickly.
“Gan, it hurts so much!”
Even though she was strong, she couldn’t withstand the opponent’s acceleration.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and the Qin family and his wife were quickly transported one after another.
“Where is Qin Zheng?”
Those two fools won’t say Goodbye to the world, right?
"Not here."
Shen Xingluo's voice came. He did not fix himself in the magical device, but grasped the other end of the thick rope.
This time there was no need for Cheng Xi to take action at all. He controlled his strength and swung through the air to land accurately on the height of the rockery.
"There is grease on the first floor of the attic. It was set on fire."
"What?"
Cheng Xi was surprised, "Didn't the fire be set by someone who came into the house to steal food? ?”
She thought that the Qin family’s recent high profile would attract the attention of hungry people, but the goal of those thugs would only be food, not to kill the rightful owner of the Qin family. .
What's more, you have to find out where the head of the Qin family lives, right?
In the entire Qin Mansion, only the attic was burning. It was obvious that the murderer knew the layout of the Qin Mansion in detail.
"Where's Qin Zheng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of clashing weapons mixed with the shouts of the boy reached their ears.
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi both looked in the direction of the sound.
