life and death deed

Chapter 290 Death

My breathing gradually became a little unsteady.

I can't remember it wrong, my senior brother's paper-making shop is here!

But why is there no house in sight?
I originally thought that my senior brother's phone couldn't be reached, and there was a high probability that something happened to his cell phone.

But now I see that the senior brother has disappeared with the paper shop!Something happened to Senior Brother Jiang!
"Chen Nian, where is Jiang Nan? This doesn't look like a place where people live." Jiang Ling looked around and asked curiously.

I was still dumbfounded, sweating profusely.

Even if the senior brother disappeared, why did the entire paper-making shop disappear out of thin air?
At this moment, not only was I worried about Jiang Nan, but I was also filled with strange emotions!
After a long time, I came back to my senses, and I said to Jiang Ling: "Senior Brother Jiang is missing!"

"What!" Jiang Ling said in astonishment.

"Senior Brother Jiang's paper-making shop used to be here." I pointed to an open space in front of me.

"But there isn't even a house in front of here?" Jiang Ling asked strangely.

"There was a house before."

I replied.

At this moment, I suddenly smelled a strange smell here.

This strange smell made me frown.

"You mean, Jiang Nan disappeared with the house?" Jiang Ling asked me in disbelief.

I know this is indeed a bit outrageous, but it is the fact, I can only nod.

After a while, Jiang Ling's voice became softer, and she said: "Chen...Chen Nian, don't you want to bring me to see Jiang Nan?"

I froze.

"Jiang Ling, since I brought you here, I must have the intention of bringing you to meet my senior brother, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here."

I explained aloud.

I became a little anxious inside.

Right now, there is not only a problem with helping Jiang Ling meet Jiang Nan, but also a problem with me!
Whether Daoyuanliu can open a book or not, I am counting on Jiang Nan. Now that he has disappeared with his family and his house, then my problems will become difficult to solve.

"Okay, I was overthinking that." Jiang Ling looked apologetic.

I glanced at the empty space that used to be a paper shop, thought about it, and said, "Let's rest for a night and then ask passers-by tomorrow."

Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, we found the best hotel in the county to stay.

At dawn the next day, Jiang Ling and I did not go to the dead end where the paper shop was, but went to Yongjun Road first.

When I first came to see Brother Jiang, I got the directions from the female owner of a funeral supplies store.

I want to ask again today when my senior brother’s paper-making shop disappeared.

But when I set foot on the road to support the army, I found something strange.

In my impression, on this road you can always see old people playing chess in twos and threes, and aunts chatting in groups of four or five.

But this time, I couldn’t see a single person on the entire street!

I felt like I was walking on a dead street!

With doubts, I came to the funeral supplies store.

Fortunately, the funeral supply store is still open.

The boss's wife, who had an extremely fierce appearance and an unusually fat figure, was also sitting in the store.

"What to buy?" the landlady asked me without raising her head.

"Madam boss, I want to ask about something."

I walked up to her and spoke in harmony.The landlady looked up at me. After a while, she said in surprise: "Hey, you're not that one..."

"Mrs. Boss, you have a really good memory. I was the one who came to ask you about the paper shop a few months ago."

I smiled.

Unexpectedly, when I said these words, the face of the originally amiable landlady suddenly changed.

It’s getting chilly!

"Why did you come to ask me this time?" the landlady said solemnly.

I could clearly feel the coldness in the landlady's tone.

But I still had to bite the bullet and said, "I would like to ask why the paper shop at the dead end is no longer there."

Just as I finished speaking, the landlady clenched her fists and smashed the table in front of her.

Her fist, the size of half a rubber ball, made a clanging sound on the table.

I unconsciously took a step back and looked at each other with Jiang Ling beside me.

"The paper-making shop has been burned down, and the unlucky guy was burned alive. In addition, young man, I would like to remind you that you'd better not mention the paper-making shop and the unlucky guy on Yongjun Road. "The landlady suppressed her anger and said to me.

My eyes widened when I heard her words.

The paper-making shop was burned down?

My senior brother was burned alive!

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Senior Brother Jiang is so skilled, how could he be burned by a fire?That dead-end street is very wet and cold even in winter, so there is absolutely no way it could catch fire!

"Boss boss, are you not talking nonsense? How could a paper shop catch fire?" I gasped and asked in disbelief.

The landlady sneered and continued: "Believe it or not, that unlucky guy died immediately after he died, and also affected 49 elderly people on Yongjun Road! Fortunately, I didn't put out the fire that day, otherwise, I would be dead now!"

boom!
A loud thunder seemed to explode in my mind!
49 elderly people also died because of fighting the fire?
No wonder I couldn't see anyone on the road just now.

No wonder I can't see the old men playing chess or the old women chatting.

He, they are all dead!

I was in extreme shock and my mind went blank.

"It's bad luck, it's really bad luck. If I didn't like you, I would have been too lazy to mention that unfortunate guy." The landlady spat and said.

I walked out of the funeral supplies with you in a daze, still unable to believe what the landlady said.

"Ching Nian, Jiang Nan is not that easy to die. Even if there is a fire, it is not possible to die that easily."

Jiang Ling on the side spoke out.

I actually think this is true. Senior brother is not an ordinary person. How could he die because of a fire?
No, I have to go to the paper shop in the dead end again!

"Let's go to the paper shop!" I said.

When I came to the paper shop again, the scene in front of me was a little different from last night.

Last night, it was dark and there were no street lights in the dead end, so I couldn't see very clearly.

But today is different. The paper-making shop has not completely disappeared. It still leaves some broken walls and ruins with burnt marks. The scorched earth underneath still exudes the smell of burning.

At this moment, I also understood what those strange smells I smelled last night were.

There really was a fire in the paper shop!
"Chen Nian, what the landlady said just now, did you find it strange?"

At this moment, Jiang Ling asked me.

"What's weird?" My mind went blank just now, and I didn't think much about it at all.

Jiang Ling paused and said:
"He said that 49 old people died because of fighting the fire, but no matter how big the fire in this paper shop was, it couldn't burn those old people at all. How did they die!"
