life and death deed

Chapter 291 The only survivor

Jiang Ling's words made my pupils shrink.

Yes!

49 old people, not just four old people, how can they just die?
Moreover, looking at the surrounding buildings in front of us at this moment, there are not many signs of burning. Even the houses on both sides of the paper shop only have some black dust on the walls.

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

A fire of this magnitude could reach the sky even if it burned just a few people. How could it possibly burn 49 people to death?
"Go ask the boss lady again!" I muttered.

There was no need for the boss lady to talk nonsense, and there was no need to lie to me. There must have been other things that happened during the fire, but I didn't ask clearly.

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

"what happened again?"

The landlady asked me while cracking melon seeds.

I hesitated for a moment and then said: "Madam boss, I want to know how those 49 old people died? Were they really all burned to death?"

The proprietress put down the melon seeds, clapped her hands, shook off the broken bits, and then said: "It can be considered burned to death."

"Can it be counted?"

I'm puzzled. If you burn yourself to death, you will burn to death. Why does it count as a crime?

"Some of the 49 people went to put out the fire, and some went to join in the fun, but as long as everyone was near the alley that night, without exception, they came back with extensive burns all over their bodies. No one even survived until the next day, and the 49 people died."

The landlady spoke slowly.

Fortunately, the landlady is in the business of dead people, so she told this matter with such a straight face.

Jiang Ling and I were both shocked.

This is obviously an encounter with Xie Chong! !
Otherwise there is no way to explain it.

"Madam boss, according to what you say, those who died were not actually burned to death by real fire, but died from burns on their bodies after leaving the paper shop?" I asked.

The landlady's face was as usual, and she said: "That's more or less it, but all of this is caused by that unlucky guy. This broom star, whoever came close to him in the first place is unlucky. Whoever comes close to him, and whoever has trouble at home, will die this time." It’s really hateful that he’s going to die and he’s going to implicate us!”

Even though it made me feel a little uncomfortable that the boss lady put the blame on my senior brother, I couldn't refute it.

"Have the bones of the paper-making shop owner been found?" I asked again.

The landlady sneered, "The fire was so big that day, everyone was burned to ashes, but the bones are still there!"

Hope rose in my heart again.

As long as the bones are not found, it is unknown whether the senior brother is dead.

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

"Thank you, boss lady, for informing me."

Before leaving, I thanked the landlady.

Just when Jiang Ling and I were about to leave, we only heard the landlady whispering vaguely.

"Old Si Tou is indeed blessed by Bodhisattva. Everyone who went there died, but he..."

I really heard what the boss lady said.

It seems that one person survived!

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

The landlady was startled by my voice, and her body trembled.

She just heard her say: "Young man, you yelled so much that it scared the shit out of me."

"Madam boss, did you just say that someone survived?"

I hurriedly walked up to the landlady and asked.

At present, it is unknown why the paper-making shop caught fire, whether the senior brother died, and how the 49 people died. Although the proprietress in front of him knows a lot, she does not know as much as the person involved.

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

"Hey, I'm not sure if the old man is dead. His injuries are relatively minor. He seems to have hope of living." The boss's wife said.

"Boss lady, do you know where he is? I'm going to see him now!" I said.

"Young man, you can't see him now. After he was injured, his family took him to Hangzhou," the landlady said.

I frowned.

Hangtown?

Then, I asked, "Does the boss lady know his specific location?"

"I don't know about this. I just remember that Lao Si Tou's son bought a house in the Xihu District of Hangzhou. His son is very rich and has a granddaughter who is in high school." The proprietress said.

This scope is still too broad. There are many rich people in Hangzhou.

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

"I don't know, we all call him Lao Si Tou." said the landlady.

It seems that it is difficult to find this survivor. Anyway, I don't think we can find the old man in Hangzhou with this bit of 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, a Xuanmen-level force, must have a lot of energy in the secular world. Every time Jiang Ling goes out, there are hordes of servants and luxury cars. 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 doubtfully and asked: "Young man, who are you and why are you so interested in this matter?"

"I'm from Lucun below 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 and replied.

"Lu Cun! You are from Lu Cun!" the landlady exclaimed.

"Yes, what's the matter..."

I was stunned. Her violent reaction made me a little bit wrong.

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

"Didn't they say that your village has changed? God's retribution will fall on the people in your village! Is it true?" The boss's wife looked at me in fear.

Because the boss lady’s words made my heart lift instantly.

Could it be possible that something happened in Lucun?

Although my uncle has disappeared, my parents’ cemetery has been filled up, and my home in Lucun no longer feels like a home, in the end, Lucun is still my root.

"Boss Boss, I'm leaving first!"

I don't have time to be verbose anymore. My heart is now drawn to Lucun. I just want to go back to Lucun to see what happened!

Since Senior Brother Jiang is not here, I think there is no need for Jiang Ling to come 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 her head and replied: "I want to go with you."

I actually don’t really want Jiang Ling to go with me, or in other words, I don’t want people from the metaphysics community to go to Lucun.

But I couldn't refuse Jiang Ling.

After all, their eyes were damaged for half a year because of me.

"Okay, let's take the bus."

Finally, I replied to Jiang Ling.

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

Jiang Ling didn't say much. We got on the country bus and headed to Lucun.

I haven’t been back for half a year, and I couldn’t calm down during this journey.

After getting off the bus 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 look, there is desolation.

It was lifeless all around, and the sky was gray and dirty.

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

There is no vitality at all!

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

I frowned and didn't answer Jiang Ling's words.

I can't believe that the village in front of me is where I have lived for nearly 20 years.

People who didn’t know it thought they were visiting a mass grave!

At this moment, I saw an acquaintance.

She is an aunt from Cunwei in Lucun, her surname is Zhang. I went to her house to play when I was a child, so I knew her well.

"Aunt Zhang!" I trotted up to her and asked anxiously: "Why did the village become like this!? What happened!"

The Feng Shui pattern in our village is neither good nor bad. It can be considered mediocre. It is impossible for such drastic changes to happen. So far, I can't see why the surrounding environment has become like this.

Could it be that retribution is coming, as the landlady said?Is this God's punishment?

But we people in Lucun are all unpretentious, honest and kind-hearted, so why should there be retribution?
Even if God punishes us, it should not come to us!

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

"It's me!" I replied hurriedly.

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

His face became ferocious!

She threw the hoe in her hand towards me and heard her say: "Give me my son's life! Let your uncle give me my son's life! I want Chen Daoyan to pay for it!"
