The night was hazy. It had rained in the afternoon, so the air was moist and fresh. Su An walked briskly into the yard, stood under the jujube tree and glanced at the moon in the sky. His expression gradually changed from cheerful and bright to gloomy.
Such good weather, such good air, it’s a pity that Ruyi can never feel it again.
The only thing he could do now was to send that bitch Su Yao to apologize to Ruyi. Ruyi was dead, so what right did she have to live
A strong wind blew, and the weather, which had been calm for a short time, began to change again. Su An's brows showed a little irritation again. He stared outside for a long time before turning back to his room and reaching out to pour himself a glass of rice wine.
It was almost time. After one drink, his face turned slightly red, and the slightest hesitation in his heart completely disappeared.
Both his father and mother gave up on him.
In the eyes of her parents, the affection they had since childhood was still no match for that slutty girl Su Yao who came later.
Just for Su Yao, his parents forced him to return to his hometown... ..
He started to suffer from insomnia from that time on.
Having been used to having everything go smoothly since childhood, any injustice and humiliation he suffers would be magnified infinitely. He asks himself what he did wrong every day, just like a nagging woman.
Fortunately, such days are about to end.
When he ends all this, those who want to hate and suffer will become Su Yao and the others.
He clenched his fists, exhaled, and let out the foul air that had been stuck in his chest. He opened the window and looked at the scenery outside, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
The more this happens, the slower time goes.
He frowned, not feeling sleepy at all, so he leaned against the window and stared at the crescent moon hanging on the treetops outside. Time passed gradually, and he didn't know how much time had passed. He twitched his nose and glanced around in confusion. The spacious courtyard was fully displayed before his eyes under the moonlight, and there was nothing wrong.
But he didn't know why, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he suddenly saw a dark shadow rushing towards him.
At that moment, he was about to scream out, but his mouth was quickly covered by someone. Then he suddenly opened his eyes wide and let out a muffled cry of fear.
But it was only for a moment, and soon, he felt a pain in the back of his head and lost consciousness.
A strong wind started blowing outside the house again, making the trees outside rustle. In the quiet yard under the moonlight, a cloud of black smoke rose from somewhere.
The black smoke was not obvious at first, but as the wind blew, the smoke became thicker and thicker. Not long after, sparks finally came out from the corners of the wall, and then, a raging fire suddenly broke out.
In just a short time, the neighbors heard the noise, woke up from their sleep, and ran out to check, but by the time they came out, the fire could no longer be put out.
The servants of the Bo's Mansion lived on the same street. Someone immediately recognized the house on fire and shouted, "Isn't this Aunt Bai's house? Why is it on fire?!"
Screams and shouts were heard everywhere. Some people were shouting in fear, asking them to run to the well at the entrance of the alley to fetch water. Some were shouting, asking them to call the police and ask the Five Cities Army to come and put out the fire. The whole street was boiling like a pot of boiling water.
Seeing the wind getting stronger and stronger, fanning the flames, everyone was very anxious. Someone who knew her stamped his feet and said, "This is a sin. Aunt Bai is not in good health! I heard recently that she was lying in bed and couldn't get up. She hasn't left the house for several days!"
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people were gathering. Everyone who knew someone was getting anxious and running to look for someone.
Fortunately, the housekeeper Li Rui was staying at home today, and everyone ran to find Li Rui. Li Rui called a group of strong servants and guards and started to bring in water to put out the fire.
Or perhaps God couldn't stand it anymore, and when everyone was working hard, raindrops suddenly fell from the sky.
I don't know who shouted "It's raining" first, but then the raindrops fell faster and harder, and bigger and bigger. The bean-sized raindrops hit people's faces and shoulders, and everyone was hurt by the rain.
But now no one cares about these things, they just feel relieved - God has eyes! This timely rain can be regarded as a solution to the urgent problem.
The fire soon died down. As they watched the heavy rain pouring down and the thick smoke rising, the people gradually felt relieved.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the rain fell in time. It seems that the building was not burned too badly, and most of the people inside are probably safe.
Thinking of this, everyone became more and more nervous, because Aunt Bai and her family were all in there.
Li Rui wiped his face. His whole body was soaked by the rain, but he didn't care about that at the moment. He called out the names of several people to follow him in to rescue people.
Everyone was about to agree to follow him in when someone suddenly shouted, "Someone's coming! Soldiers are coming!"
Li Rui frowned, and without time to go in, he turned around and saw that it was Luo Yong, the deputy commander of the Wucheng Bingmasi, and hurried forward to greet him.
The deputy commander of the Wucheng Military Department brought at least thirty or forty people, all of whom were on horseback. At this moment, he was in no hurry to dismount. He pointed his whip at the house and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Rui explained the situation and said, "We were just about to go in to see the casualties. We don't know how the fire started. Fortunately, we discovered it quickly and it rained heavily, so there shouldn't be too much damage."
Luo Yong nodded, dismounted from his horse, and led the way into the yard.
Li Rui followed closely behind, and was about to speak when he heard Luo Yong shout, "Who?!"
He was stunned, but Luo Yong had already chased him to the patio. Without time to think, he followed Luo Yong out, only to see that Luo Yong was already standing at the back wall, staring at the corner with a gloomy face.
"Lord Luo! What's wrong?" Li Rui hurriedly followed, but when he stopped and looked in the direction Luo Yong was looking, he couldn't help but gasp - there were a lot of firewoods racked under the corner, and at this moment, the firewoods were all charred black. Even in the pouring rain, a strong smell of kerosene could be smelled.
This fire was no accident.
As he was thinking this in his mind, he saw Luo Yong turn around and leave without saying a word. He hurriedly followed him, not bothering to say anything, and first asked someone to go to the mansion to tell him quickly.
This matter was beyond his ability to handle. He was now completely at a loss, not knowing what to do. He could only pray in his heart that someone would come from the mansion soon.
The yard was silent, with no sound except the rain. Luo Yong stood in front of the main room and suddenly kicked the door.
