I was an assassin in Assassin Wu Liuqi

Chapter 21-Light

cool summer night
A cool breeze swirled on the river bank and blew through the half-closed windows.

Even if there is no fan and air conditioner, it still makes people feel very comfortable and comfortable.

The thread ball curled up in Chen Tian's arms, and the cool wind blew into the thread ball's neck, causing the thread ball to move the cat's paw unconsciously, scratching Chen Tian a little itchy.

Chen Tian and Xian Tuan slept peacefully, but it doesn't mean that this inn, this small town with simple folk customs, is so peaceful.

Bang bang bang!
There was a quick knock on the door.

Accompanied by hasty shouts of "open the door".

"I'm coming."

Not long after, an old man wearing a set of white pajamas and a black overcoat came out with a lantern.

Perhaps the old man was still a little confused when he heard the hasty knock on the door.

But when he saw the group of people fighting open flames and the leader in front of him, he was completely awake!
The next moment, the pupils shrank suddenly, and the body began to tremble continuously!

"Old Li, Brother Fei's grandfather saved you from the fire 57 years ago. How is it? Is the burn on your face recovering?" laughed.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Looking at the arrogant guy in front of him, Old Li was extremely humble.

Lao Li recognized the other party, and he also knew what the five or six torches in the hands of the group behind him meant.

The other party is the right-hand man of the arsonist A Fei. When they meet this group of people, they announce that they will enter the most classic and ceremonial project in this town——

Set fire to the house!

The old man panicked!

Now, he can only be like an ordinary person, humble and lucky, hoping that the other party will let him go.

even if...

I lost my dignity.

"Okay? Haha, look at your half-burnt face, how can you be okay? In this era of looking at faces, with this ugly face, you might not even come to the country of Dali where you have had a lot of love affairs. Someone is looking at you, hahaha!"

Then, the man started to sarcasm frantically again.

"Yes, it's really because of my low looks... I don't have a wife." The old man looked at the torch in the man's hand, and his voice became lower and lower.

He has already figured it out, with so many years of friendship, as long as he behaves better, nothing will happen...

Right.

"Old Li, you know what we are here for." The man suddenly said another word.

"!!!"

thump!
Suddenly, the old man suddenly knelt down in front of this man!

"This is my life savings! I beg you, please don't burn down my inn. As long as you don't burn it down, you can let me do whatever you want."

The man stroked the old man's gray hair, it seemed that his humble appearance was very useful to him.

"Old Li, let me tell you the truth. In fact, you are very kind to our brother Fei. After all, you have basically contracted our brother Fei's food expenses for so many years."

"It should, it should." The old man nodded quickly.

"but……"

The man changed the subject, and his tone became more and more angry:
"That foreigner! Do you know, that damned mean and shameless foreigner! It was because of that kick that he beat our brother Fei into a serious disability. If it weren't for the help of the apprentice of Miracle Miao Que, I would be the boss, no? , we will have no boss!
but!But ah!Brother Fei's lifeblood is useless anymore!Tell me, this has chilled the hearts of many beautiful girls in the world! "

"Yes, yes, it's all the fault of foreigners."

"Then, if I give you that lowly foreigner, won't my inn be burned down?" The old man seemed to have heard a glimmer of hope, and asked hastily.

Looking at the man's hesitant gaze, the old man felt inexplicably joyful in his heart.

There is a play!

The old man made up his mind, his eyes suddenly became more resolute, he knelt and squirmed forward a little bit, threw himself on the man's trouser leg, and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll help you get rid of that foreigner!"

Whoa!
The man kicked the old man to the ground!

"Heh! Are you an old man in his 60s going to kill a young man who can kill our boss?" The man sneered.

"However, Brother Fei has an order. For the sake of your 'filial piety' over the years, I can spare your life."

"What?!" The old man's expression froze.

"If you want to blame it, you can blame that foreigner. If it wasn't for him, maybe the inn that was burned down wouldn't be your inn."

"Come on, set fire!"

"no, do not want!"

Hearing the order, countless torches were accurately thrown into every hole in the inn with a technique called a three-pointer.

In an instant!
The fire is soaring!

Seeing that the house was completely burned by the torch, the man waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to leave and go back to report.

This sudden flame awakened many nearby residents.

Everyone skillfully took out buckets, basins and other things that hold water at home, and some even prepared a few sacks.

But no one seemed to want to go out and fight the fire.

No one yelled "It's out of the water" and "Come on, come on".

Thick smoke billowed, covering the bright moonlight with a layer of dust.

Everyone stood on the roof, watching the scene quietly.

It's like watching a fireworks full of ritual.

And those prepared buckets can only be extinguished in time when the fire spreads to his side.

As for those sacks...

It is to pick up some leaks after the fire burns.

Almost everyone is doing it alone
Almost everyone is watching
Almost everyone is taking chances
But the old man, at this time, seemed to be a different person, no longer helplessly shouting "No, no".

He didn't run away.

He wants to act!

Let the person who caused all this pay the price he should pay!
The old man picked up the kitchen knife on the side!

The kitchen knife was glowing red against the flames, and the blade reflected the ferocious face of the old man whose face was half burned.

"A price has to be paid! A price has to be paid! A price has to be paid!"

"Damn, lowly foreigner! If it wasn't for you, if you weren't for beating Brother Fei, then everything about me would exist, so you, go to my inn and be buried with me!"

The grievances accumulated for decades completely exploded at this moment!

boom!
The powerful resentment actually drove away all the flames around the old man!
In his mind, there are only two words left:
revenge!

The second floor.

The old man stepped over every innocent corpse and dying person who had no time to escape!
boom!
The old man slammed open the room where Chen Tian was!

But when he went in, he was dumbfounded!
"where is the guy?"

In the room, Chen Tian and the thread ball had long since disappeared.

Without the object of revenge, the last spiritual pillar collapsed at this moment!

"Why? Why? God treats me like this? My old Li family has endured humiliation for decades, but why did it end up like this? And the bad guy has done all the bad things, but he can still get away with it?!"

In an instant, the flames engulfed the old man's whole body.

"No!"

As the last cry died away, the old man was burned alive by the flames.

……

"Boss, tell me, why don't we save this old man?"

Not far from the river, Thread Ball looked at the blazing inn and asked curiously.

"Assassin's rules, never intervene in other people's affairs." Chen Tian explained lightly.

But maybe he felt that he couldn't teach bad thread balls, so Chen Tian added: "Actually, even if we saved him, he might not necessarily repay us.

The arsonist Ah Fei actually didn't have any supernatural powers. His most powerful weapon was to control people's hearts. "

"I don't understand." The thread ball was a little puzzled.

"Didn't you realize that this inn is so close to the river, but no one came to help put out the fire? Didn't you realize that this is a town with a lot of water, but arson always happens?
Everyone only cares about themselves, however, just like this, they hurt themselves. The real cancer is not A Fei, but the people of this town. "

"No! Boss, what you said is wrong!" Suddenly, the ball of thread interrupted Chen Tian.

Then, it pointed in the direction of the inn.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was carrying a water basin back and forth between the river and the inn, shouting as he ran, "It's water, put out the fire! Boss, hold on, I'll save you right away." come out!"

"At least, there is some light in this simple town." Xian Tuan added.

　Believe that there is still light in this world, so let's vote for recommendations to make this faint light brighter!
