Chapter 522 I Really Believe

Du Wenhao followed Long Xuanwu to his study, and after he was seated, Long Xuanwu asked the housekeeper to bring a box of silver and put it in front of Du Wenhao, saying: "This is a hundred silver coins. Thank you sir for what you did just now, which solved the disaster for my family." .”

He put another box of silver in front of Du Wenhao and said: "There is still 100 taels of silver here, I know your rules. With this 100 taels of silver, please help my brother resolve his disaster."

Du Wenhao shook his head, pushed back the box of silver at the back, and said, "I'm not a greedy person. To be honest, I don't like this little money. The reason why I want this money is because I need to use it." Only by accumulating virtue and doing good deeds can his death be resolved. It is useless for you to help him out, and it will have no effect."

Long Xuanwu scratched his head: "What should I do? I believe what you said, if my younger brother really dies within three days, how can I help him resolve it? He doesn't believe this, so he pays for it. He definitely won't do it, but he can't ignore death."

Du Wenhao nodded, thought for a while and said: "I'll write him a talisman, and you secretly take it and hide it under the soles of his usual shoes. Be careful not to change his shoes for three days, and you will follow him when he encounters danger." His daughter-in-law said this. If he is sincerely willing to take money out to resolve his death, he will ask his wife to give me the money, and this Taoist talisman will take effect and save his life. If he is still stubborn when he dies, then Nobody can help him."

Long Xuanwu nodded: "I understand, this method is good, thank you Mr. Du!"

At that moment, Du Wenhao asked them to fetch a cinnabar pen and paper to write a talisman, handed it to Long Xuanwu, and then got up to leave.

Long Xuanwu hurriedly asked him again: "Mr. Du, how much was the medical consultation fee earlier, and I haven't paid it yet."

Du Wenhao shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, I'll see a doctor for ordinary patients for ten cents. It's free for friends."

Saying goodbye, Long Xuanwu was very grateful and sent him out of the door.

Day three.

Qiantang County held a celebration banquet. During the entire canonization ceremony, there was no major fire in Qiantang County. This is inseparable from the usual supervision and inspection of the Fire Dragon Team. Therefore, the Zhizhou and County Zhixian were very happy and ordered awards.

As the leader of the Fire Dragon team, Long Xuandao was very happy to receive the award. He invited the entire Fire Dragon team to the restaurant for a drink, and everyone celebrated together.

These people are all iron-blooded men, they drank very refreshingly when they were in high spirits, they quickly drank up a few jars of wine, and everyone was too drunk, especially Long Xuandao, who seemed to be three people.

But Long Xuandao still felt that he hadn't had enough, so he ordered someone to order another drink.But the brothers couldn't stand up anymore, and the man was still not coming, so he staggered up and went to order the wine himself.

It's just that he didn't know that his wife and son had come to pick him up, but he still wanted to drink after quitting, so the lady secretly gave the shopkeeper a piece of silver, and asked the shopkeeper not to give them any more wine.So the shopkeeper ordered the guys to hide, don't serve him wine, so that he can't find it.

Long Xuandao looked around but couldn't find the buddy, so he cursed angrily.

He was so dizzy that he reached the back kitchen.

The staff had reported it earlier, and everyone in the back kitchen fled away one after another.

There is a wine cellar in the back kitchen, if he takes the wine jar back to drink, then the shopkeeper has no choice but to do his best.

Long Xuandao found the wine cellar, took a jar of wine, turned around and left.

But just a few steps away, there was a click, and the ground floor was crushed.

He was already heavy, and holding such a jug of wine, the floor was old, and he stepped on it right now.

The jar of wine in his hand hit the ground and shattered with a crash, spilling the wine all over the floor.

Long Xuandao laughed out loud.

He wanted to get out to get the wine again, but he found that his foot was stuck in the floor and he couldn't get it out.

He was too drunk to get up.

He also didn't want to call people, if he asked people to see him like this, if he couldn't pull out his legs, it wouldn't be a shame, he wanted to rest for a while before breaking free and looking for wine.

And at this moment, he heard a creaking sound.

When I looked up, I saw a mouse running back and forth on the beam.He actually ran to the lantern hook hanging on the beam, climbed down along the hook, and soon climbed onto the lantern.

The mouse is relatively big, the mouse crawls, and the lantern keeps shaking.

Due to the shaking, the candles in the lantern set the lantern on fire.

It burst into flames.

The mouse squeaked, its body was covered in fire, and it fell down, landing on the floor not far from Longxuan Road.

The floor had already been soaked in wine. Fortunately, the alcohol content in ancient times was not high, so it didn't ignite all at once, but this still made Long Xuandao's heart rise in his throat.

Then, he saw the burning mouse roll on the ground and put out the fire directly.

Long Xuandao laughed loudly: "This mouse is actually smart, it knows how to roll to extinguish the fire on its body, so don't worry about it now."

However, the sound of crackling and burning continued to be heard above the head.

He looked up and was stunned.

At this moment, after the whole lantern on the beam ignited, it became a big fireball and burned the hanging rope above.With a snort, the entire burning lantern fell and hit the floor not far in front of him.

The fire was so big that it finally ignited the drinks on the ground.

After all, wine is not water but wine. Compared with directly falling on the ground, it still has a certain combustion-supporting effect, so the ground quickly ignited fire.

Long Xuandao was shocked, his position was out of reach, unable to put out the fire, and there was nothing around him to put out the fire.He propped his hands on the floor and tried desperately to pull his leg out, but he couldn't pull it out, and his body was weak.

He anxiously shouted for help, but everyone hid far away, and his wife was waiting downstairs in the restaurant in front, not knowing that he had arrived at the back kitchen.It was already late at night, and the restaurant was closed. Apart from them, all the other guests had already left, and there was no one in the back kitchen.

The fire burned bigger and bigger, and the hot flames made Long Xuandao's head smoke.

Long Xuandao was completely sober after drinking, and murmured: "It's over, it's over. I'm definitely going to die here. Is what Mr. Du said really true? It’s a catastrophe, but I don’t believe him! It’s a death that deserves it!”

He scolded himself, filled with remorse.

Desperately cry for help.But no one heard it.

The fire quickly burned through the roof, sending smoke and flames into the sky.

Those members of the fire dragon team finally realized that something was wrong and rushed out. Seeing that the back kitchen was already on fire, and Long Xuandao's cry for help came from the fire, they knew that their heads were all trapped in the sea of ​​flames.

Fortunately, because the back kitchen is a place for fireworks, according to the rules, there is a certain distance from other buildings to avoid fires. The design itself has a certain degree of safety, so there is no worry about igniting other buildings.

These drunken members of the fire dragon team stomped their feet anxiously, some of them wanted to rush into the sea of ​​fire covered by quilts, but they were all held back, because the fire was too strong, and they would never be able to get out.

Mrs. Sun, who was waiting in the front hall of the restaurant, was anxious. When she also heard the shouts from behind and saw the fire dragon team rushing down, she hurried up to ask what was going on?

The fire dragon team told him that the back kitchen was on fire, and it seemed that Dutou Long Xuandao was trapped in the flames.

Immediately, Mrs. Sun was so frightened that she almost collapsed.Fortunately, my son and daughter were supporting me, and I staggered to the back kitchen.

At this time, many people had brought water to put out the fire, but they couldn't save it.

The fire was so big that the whole kitchen was already burning.

Hearing her husband Long Xuandao screaming for help in the flames, Sun almost passed out from anxiety.

She didn't kowtow to beg those fire dragon team members to save her husband, because she saw that the fire was too big, no matter who rushed in, they would only die.Don't tell me if you can't save your husband, but send him to death in vain.

She thought of that talisman.

Today is the third day, before Long Xuanwu and Du Wenhao told her that her husband was doomed.It's just that her husband doesn't believe in fortune-telling, so he doesn't want to use money to ward off disasters.And the money had to be paid by his family, so she always carried the 100 taels of bank notes with her, always on guard.

At this moment, holding a bank note, he shouted anxiously into the room: "Husband, please quickly ask Mr. Du to save you. Are you willing to believe that Mr. Du can save you? Do you believe what he said?"

She yelled loudly, at this time there were not many people around, so when Sun yelled, Long Xuandao inside could hear her.

At this moment, his intestines were green with regret, and when he heard his wife's voice coming from afar, he shouted in despair: "I believe it, I really believe it, go and beg Mr. Du to save me. Only he can do it now." Save me, quickly bring 100 taels of silver to him, and beg him to save me."

"But, where can I find him? I've already brought the money, but I don't know where Mr. Du is."

At this time, a voice came from behind: "Give me the money."

Sun turned her head and saw that Du Wenhao was standing behind him, with Long Xuanwu beside him.

In fact, they have been near Long Xuandao, waiting for him to have an accident so that they can be rescued.

However, Du Wenhao could only calculate the approximate time of his death, but he couldn't figure out his location, time and what happened, so he just waited for news before rushing to rescue him.

After hearing Long Xuandao's voice, Du Wenhao hurriedly took the stack of banknotes handed to him by Mrs. Sun, turned around and handed them to Xu Huaqiang who was following him, saying: "These silver coins are all used to buy food and distributed to the homeless. vagabonds and beggars."

Xu Huaqiang bowed and agreed, and took the bank note.

And at this moment, Long Xuandao, who was struggling desperately, suddenly felt that the stuck leg could be pulled out. Although the blood was dripping, he couldn't care about it at this moment.Once out of trouble, as the leader of the fire dragon team, he will naturally have a way to get out of trouble.

He saw a large water tank not far from the corner of the room, rushed over and jumped into the water tank, soaking his whole body.

Then he jumped out again and pulled down the water tank forcefully. The half of the water in the tank crashed and all flowed to the sea of ​​flames in front of him, immediately extinguishing a small burning area with water.

Then he got into the water tank, dragged the bottom of the water tank, turned the water tank upside down forcefully, and buckled him in it.

Grasping the edge of the water tank with both hands, he staggered forward towards the passage he had identified just now.
