Chapter: 292

Jiang Ling's words made my pupils shrink.

yes!

Forty-nine old people, not four old people, how can they say that they will die if they die?

Moreover, looking at the surrounding buildings in front of you at this moment, there are not many traces of scorching, and even the houses on both sides of the paper tie shop only have some black and gray on the walls.

In other words, only the paper tie shop had a fire.

With a fire of this level, it would have burned a few people to death. How could it be possible to burn forty-nine people to death?

"Ask the lady boss again!" I muttered.

There should be no need for the proprietress to talk nonsense, let alone lie to me. It should be that some other things happened in the fire, and I didn't ask clearly.

Jiang Ling nodded, and we went back to the funeral supplies store again.

"what happened again?"

The proprietress asked me while knocking melon seeds.

I hesitated for a moment, then said: "Madam, I want to know how the forty-nine old people died? Are they really all burned to death?"

The proprietress put down the sunflower seeds, clapped her hands, and shook off the crumbs, then said, "It can be counted as being burned to death."

"Can it count?"

I am puzzled. Burn to death will burn to death. Why is it considered acceptable?

"Some of the forty-nine people went to fight the fire, and some went to coax the heat, but as long as the people who were near the alley that night, without exception, came back with extensive burns, no one even suffered the next day, four Nineteen people died."

The proprietress spoke calmly.

It's also a loss that the proprietress is in the business of dead people, so she said this without changing her face.

Jiang Ling and I were both shocked.

This is obviously an encounter with Xie Chong! !

Otherwise there is no way to explain.

"Madam, according to what you said, those who died were not actually burned to death by the real fire, but died of burns on their bodies after leaving the paper-making shop?" I said.

The proprietress' face was as usual, she said: "It's almost like this, but all this was caused by that unlucky guy, this broom star, whoever approached him, whoever was unlucky, whoever approached him, whoever had an accident at home, this time, he died. It's really hateful to have to implicate us even if we die!"

Even though the lady boss threw the blame on my senior brother and made me feel a little uncomfortable, I had no way to refute it.

"Have you found the corpse of the owner of the paper tie shop?" I asked again.

The proprietress sneered, "The fire was so big that day, everyone was burned to ashes, where are the bones still!"

Hope rose again in my heart.

As long as no bones are found, it is unknown whether the senior brother is dead or not.

I believe that with my brother's ability, it is impossible for a mere fire to burn her to death.

"Thank you for letting me know."

Before I left, I thanked the lady boss.

Just as Jiang Ling and I were about to leave, the proprietress only heard a faint whisper.

"Old Sitou was indeed blessed by the Bodhisattva, and everyone who went there died, only he..."

I really listened to what the boss said.

It seems that one person survived!

I quickly turned around and said, "Someone survived!?"

The proprietress was taken aback by my voice, and the flesh on her body trembled.

I just heard her say: "You brat, boy, you scared my shit and pee out."

"Boss lady, did you just say someone survived?"

I hurriedly walked over to the lady boss and asked.

At present, why the paper shop caught fire, whether senior brother died, and how the forty-nine people died are unknown. Although the proprietress in front of him knew a lot, no one involved knew much.

If I can find the one who survived, maybe I can find something.

"Hey, I'm not sure if the old fourth head is dead or not. His injuries are relatively minor, and he seems to have hope of living." The proprietress said.

"Madam, do you know where he is? I'll go see him now!" I said.

"Young man, you can't see him now. After he was injured, he was taken to Hangcheng by his family." said the proprietress.

I frowned.

Hangcheng?

Immediately, I said, "Does the proprietress know his specific location?"

"I don't know that. I just remember that the fourth son's son bought a house in the West Lake District of Hangcheng. His son is very rich and has a granddaughter who is in high school," said the proprietress.

This range is still too broad, and there are many rich people in Hangzhou.

"What's this uncle's real name?" I asked.

"I don't know, we all call him Lao Sitou." The proprietress said.

It seems that it is a little difficult to find the survivor. Anyway, I don't think I can find the old man in Hangcheng with this information.

But at this time, Jiang Ling next to me pulled me, and she said, "Chen Nian, leave it to me to find someone."

My eyes lit up.

Just because I can't find it doesn't mean that others can't find it. The Jiang family's power at the Xuanmen level must have a lot of energy in the mundane world. Every time Jiang Ling goes out, there are servants in groups, and luxury cars are like clouds. , you can see it! Maybe Jiang Ling can really find it.

"Okay, please." I said.

At this moment, the proprietress of the funeral supplies store looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Young man, who are you and why are you so interested in this matter."

"I'm from Lu Village, which is under the county seat. I studied in the county seat when I was a child. Of course, I care about such a big thing happening in the county seat."

I smiled back.

"Lucun! You are from Lucun!" the proprietress exclaimed.

"Yeah, what's wrong..."

I was stunned for a moment, her violent reaction made me a little bit wrong.

Lucun is just a trivial small village below the county seat. There are at least a dozen of such villages below the county seat.

"Didn't they say that your village has changed? God has retribution for the people in your village! Is it true?" The proprietress looked at me in horror.

Because of the words of the lady boss, my heart was instantly lifted.

Could something have changed in Lucun?

Although my uncle is missing and my parents' cemetery has been filled in, Lucun's home is no longer like a home, but after all, Lucun is still my root.

"Madam, I'm leaving first!"

I don't have time to talk any more, I'm all hooked to Lucun now, I just want to go back to Lucun to see what happened!

Since Senior Brother Jiang is not here, I don't think Jiang Ling needs to be with me anymore. After leaving the funeral supplies store, I said frankly to Jiang Ling: "Why don't you go back, and don't go to Lucun."

Jiang Ling shook his head and replied, "I want to go with you."

In fact, I don't really want Jiang Ling to go with me, or I don't want people from the metaphysics to go to Lucun.

But I can't refuse Jiang Ling.

After all, people's eyes were wasted for half a year because of me.

"Okay, let's take the bus."

Finally, I returned to Jiang Ling.

I have no way to refuse Jiang Ling, but those servants of her Jiang family, I will not take them to Lu Village.

Jiang Ling didn't say anything, we got into the village bus and headed to Lucun.

I also haven't come back for half a year, and I have no way to calm down on the way.

After getting off on the road outside Lucun, I led Jiang Ling into the village.

But the moment I stepped into the village.

I was dumbfounded.

This...is this still my Deer Village?

Everywhere you see is desolate.

All around was lifeless, and the sky was grey and dirty.

The green hills outside the village turned yellow, and the vegetation in the village withered.

There is no life at all!

"Chen Nian, this is Lucun?" Jiang Ling asked me.

I frowned, but didn't answer Jiang Ling's words.

I can't believe the village in front of me is where I've lived for almost twenty years.

People who didn't know thought they had come to the Mass Burial Mound!

At this moment, I saw an acquaintance.

She is an aunt from the village tail of Lucun, her surname is Zhang. I went to her house to play when I was a child, so I know her.

"Aunt Zhang!" I trotted over to her and asked anxiously, "How did the village become like this!? What happened!"

The feng shui pattern of our Lu Village is neither good nor bad. It is considered mediocre. It is impossible to have such a drastic change. So far, I can't see why the surrounding environment has become like this.

Is it really as the proprietress said, retribution is coming? Is this God's punishment?

But the people of our Lucun are all simple and unpretentious, honest and kind, why should there be retribution?

Even if God has punishment, it should not befall us!

Aunt Zhang saw me, she looked at me strangely, and then she asked me uncertainly, "Are you the eldest child of the Chen family?"

"It's me!" I replied hurriedly.

However, at this moment, Aunt Zhang's face changed drastically.

Turned into a hideous face!

She threw the hoe in her hand at me, only to hear her say: "Repay my son's life! Let your uncle pay my son's life! I want Chen Daoyan to pay for his life!" JrNovels.com
