Chapter 132 Fire

"This" Li Lu looked happy. Although the ghosts in the mission would most likely not kill people one after another, it would be great if someone was willing to accompany her.

She did not agree rashly, but pursed her lips and looked at Chen Xiaomeng with expectant eyes.

Chen Xiaomeng slowly stood up.

Attitude says it all.

"Thank you so much, Miss Xiao Longnu," Li Lu leaned forward, her eyes shining with light.

Chen Xiaomeng said calmly: "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, thank you to Mr. Yin." Then she looked at Jiang Cheng with a very natural look, smiled slightly and said: "After all, Mr. Yin is such a gentleman. He will not watch us two women take risks. He will also accompany us to ensure our safety."

"Am I right, Mr. Yin?" Chen Xiaomeng blinked.

“Of course,” Jiang Cheng straightened his chest and pretended to be powerful.

Then Jiang Cheng stepped forward and took off the wooden stick holding the door open, and then opened the door. The "whooshing" night wind blew in, blowing on people's faces like knives.

I didn’t expect that the temperature difference between day and night here is so big.

Jiang Cheng covered his face with one hand and held the door with the other to prevent it from crashing. He turned around and said quickly to Chen Xiaomeng and Li Lu: "Hurry up and don't go too far. I'll help you keep an eye on the surroundings." "There's movement."

"You're just standing here to help us?" Chen Xiaomeng's voice suddenly rose.

“What else?” Jiang Cheng’s expression was very innocent. After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not very safe, so he took half a step back slightly.

Li Lu was anxious and had no time to care about this. She wrapped her clothes tightly and walked out quickly.

Next was Chen Xiaomeng. She glanced at Jiang Cheng and left with Li Lu.

The two did not go far, but came to a place covered by grass. This yard must have been abandoned for a long time, and the grass was almost half a person tall.

Jiang Cheng looked in the direction of the two of them, and finally saw Li Lu, who had turned into a shadow in the night. After shaking for a few times, she squatted down, leaving only one head above the grass, exposed.

Chen Xiaomeng stood about 3 meters away from Li Lu.

Between Li Lu and Jiang Cheng.

Thinking about it, she had already made a plan. If something happened, she could turn around and go back to the room. Li Lu, who was handicapped because she was taking advantage of the situation, was the best target for the ghost.

"Huh?"

About half a minute, Chen Xiaomeng suddenly made a sound. She stared at a location, as if she had discovered something.

Li Lu, who was unable to move, was already highly nervous. After hearing Chen Xiaomeng's voice, she froze and her body began to tremble violently.

"What happened?" Li Lu asked in fear.

After Jiang Cheng heard Chen Xiaomeng's voice, he did not immediately look at where the latter was staring. He continued to look at Chen Xiaomeng, squinting slightly.

Until he heard Li Lu's exclamation.

"Fire!!"

She did not suppress her voice, which caused the sound to be very harsh in the silent night, and then there was a rapid noise in the room behind her.

After a burst of footsteps, Yu Man, Zhou Rong, and Pei Qian ran out one after another. Everyone gathered behind the wooden door in tacit understanding and tried their best to look out.

He had no intention of leaving the room.

Through the corner of the broken window frame, several people noticed the light of fire in the distance. Zhou Rong's pupils shrank suddenly, "It's the Qian family ancestral hall," he said firmly.

"Why is the ancestral hall on fire?" Pei Qian stared at the direction of the fire and found that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and then large areas of the fire began to collapse.

He thought it might be that the load-bearing structure of the ancestral hall was burned down and the whole thing collapsed.

"It should be abandoned there. Where did the fire come from?" He said to himself.

This morning they passed by not far from the ancestral hall and found that the nearby houses were all empty and abandoned long ago. But at this time, a fire suddenly broke out.

Chen Xiaomeng and Li Lu ran back, and Li Lu's leg injury has not healed yet, and she is limping when she runs, but the fear on her face is very real.

Zhou Rong turned around and scanned the village slowly. Despite such a big fire, there was no movement in the village.

This made him wonder whether anyone lived in the village, or in other words, what kind of people lived here.

The next day, at dawn, a group of people came to the burned Qian family ancestral hall.

The big building in Nuovo was changed beyond recognition overnight.

The ground was covered with ashes and debris, leaving only the original masonry structure, but at this time, the masonry was no different from black carbon.

There were also sparse flames burning all around, and crackling sounds could be heard from time to time.

The wind blew, raising a cloud of ashes.

No one was seen nearby. It was unclear whether the villagers had no time to pay attention to this place, or whether they simply did not intend to have anything to do with the Qian family, which was targeted by ghosts and almost wiped out.

Zhou Rong chose a relatively clean road, avoiding the brick wall that might collapse at any time, and several people walked in.

Looking from inside, this ancestral hall was not as big as they imagined.

The lobby is probably less than 200 square meters.

Everyone consciously dispersed to look for clues. Li Lu temporarily stayed where she was due to her leg injury and difficulty in moving.

It is said that fire and water are ruthless, and there is a trace of sadness in Yu Man's eyes. Now she is standing here, as if she is in a sea of ​​​​fire, with heat waves surging around her, and several twisted figures are looming in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Their heart-rending voices echoed in my ears.

The fire a year ago caused her to lose several of her best friends, as well as the man she loved most and the man who loved her most.

For a girl whose native family is broken, it seems very easy to become an alien in the eyes of her classmates. She smokes, drinks, has a tattoo and dares to fight with guys from other schools while carrying a beer bottle.

Teachers and even the principal have given up contacting her parents.

They all know that she has an alcoholic father and a submissive mother with mental problems.

She didn't like going home and hated the dark and cramped stairwell that was covered with small advertisements.

And the mother's cloudy and helpless eyes.

She hates it all.

But all of this does not prevent her from being an excellent student.

Not very good either, ranked in the top ten in the class.

When it's good, it can be ranked somewhere around 4 or 5.

But for the "gangsters" who fought in groups with her, it was definitely an excellent achievement.

They couldn’t figure out how this girl who skipped classes with them, surfed the Internet, played video games, and got into group fights could study so well?

Where does she have time to study?

Obviously they got into a fight together, skipped class together, and were caught together by the dean of academic affairs and made to stand in front of the principal's office.

They could never imagine what was going on in the mind of this girl who was chewing gum carelessly while listening to the old principal. (End of this chapter)
