  Chapter 354 One Hundred Fifty-Three Demon Fire

   The night was hazy, it only rained in the afternoon, 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, her face changed from brisk and bright to gloomy.

   Such good weather, such good air, it is a pity that Ruyi can no longer be felt.

  The only thing he can do now is to send that **** Su to invite Ruyi to make amends. Ruyi is dead, what right does she have to live?

The wind was blowing, and seeing that the weather that had been calm soon changed again, Su An's brows spread a little irritability again, he fixedly looked outside for a long time, then turned back to his room, reached out and poured himself a glass Yellow wine.

   is almost here, his face flushed slightly after a cup of belly, which made the insignificant hesitation in his heart completely gone.

   Neither father nor mother, they abandoned him.

   The affection since childhood, in the eyes of his parents, was still no match for the cheap girl who came after Su Yao.

   Just because of an invitation from Su, his parents forced him to return to his hometown.

   He has been suffering from insomnia since then.

   He was used to it since he was a child, and any injustice and humiliation he received would be infinitely magnified. Every day he asked himself what he had done wrong, just like a resentful woman.

  Fortunately, those days are coming to an end soon.

  When he ends all this, those who want to hate or suffer will become Su inviting them.

   He clenched his fists, exhaled, and let out the foul breath that had been smothered in his chest for a long time. He opened the window and looked at the scenery outside, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

   The more this time, the slower time passes.

He frowned. He didn't feel sleepy at all, so he leaned against the window and stared at the crescent moon hanging outside the treetops. Time gradually passed, and he didn't know how long it took. He twitched his nose and swept around in confusion. At a glance, the empty courtyard is displayed in front of the eyes under the moonlight, and there is nothing wrong.

   But he didn't know why, his heart suddenly jumped, and then he suddenly saw a black figure rushing towards him.

   At that moment, he was about to exclaim, but his mouth was quickly covered by someone, and then he suddenly opened his eyes wide and let out a muffled cry in horror.

   But it only took a moment, and soon, the back of his head hurt and he lost consciousness.

   A strong wind blew outside the house again, and the trees outside were whistling. In the silent yard, under the moonlight, a black smoke floated from an unknown corner.

   The black smoke was not obvious at first, but with the wind, the smoke became thicker and thicker. After a while, sparks finally emerged from the corner of the wall, and then suddenly a raging fire broke out.

   In a short period of time, the neighbors heard the movement, woke up from their sleep, and ran out to check, but by the time they came out, the fire could not be stopped.

   A street was filled with servants of Bo's Mansion, and someone immediately recognized the burning house and shouted, "Isn't this Aunt Bai's house?! Why is it on fire?!"

There were exclamations and shouts incessantly. Some people shouted in horror to go to the well at the entrance of the alley to get water, and some people shouted to report to the officials and let the soldiers and horses of the five cities come to put out the fire. The whole street was boiling, as if Boil the pot of water.

Seeing that the wind is getting stronger and stronger, fueling the fire, everyone is very anxious, someone who knows is stomping on the side: "This is a sin, Aunt Bai is not in good health! Recently I heard that she was lying on the bed. I can't get up, I haven't been out for days!"

  The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are gathered. Everyone who knows them is anxious and runs to find someone.

  Fortunately, the housekeeper Li Rui lived in his house today. Everyone ran to find Li Rui. Li Rui called a group of strong servants and nurses and began to pass water in to put out the fire.

   Maybe God couldn't stand it. While everyone was working hard, raindrops suddenly floated in the sky.

   I don't know who called it rain first, and then the raindrops fell more and more urgently, getting bigger and bigger. The pea-sized raindrops hit people's faces and shoulders, and everyone was a little hurt by the rain.

   But now no one cares about this, just feel relieved——God has eyes! This timely rain can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

  The fire quickly subsided. Seeing the heavy rain pouring down, the thick smoke rose in waves, and the big stone in everyone's heart was gradually put down.

   Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the rain fell in time. Seeing that the building was not burnt down too badly, most of the people inside would have a handle and it would be fine.

   Thinking of this, everyone became more and more nervous, and Aunt Bai's family were all inside.

   Li Rui wiped his face, his whole body was drenched from the rain, but at this moment he couldn't care about it, he raised the name of a few people and followed him in to save people.

   Everyone was promising to follow him in, but suddenly someone shouted: "Here comes! The officers and soldiers are here!"

   Li Rui's brows furrowed. He didn't have time to go in, so he turned his head to look. He saw Luo Yong, the deputy commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horse Division, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

   The deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horse Division brought at least thirty or forty people, all of whom came on horseback. At this moment, he was not in a hurry to dismount. The whip pointed towards the room and asked, "What's going on?"

  Li Rui explained the matter and said, "We were about to go in to see how the casualties were, and we don't know how the fire started. Fortunately, we found it quickly and there was heavy rain, so there shouldn't be much damage."

  Royong hummed, got off his horse, and headed into the yard.

   Li Rui followed closely behind, and was about to speak when he heard Luo Yong shouting loudly: "Who?!"

   He was stunned, but Luo Yong had already chased over the patio. Before he could think about it, he followed Luo Yong and chased out, only to see that Luo Yong was already standing at the back wall, staring at the corner with a heavy expression.

"Lord Luo! What's the matter?" Li Rui hurriedly followed, but before he stopped and followed Luo Yong's gaze, he couldn't help taking a deep breath -- there was a lot of firewood under the corner of the wall. It was charred black, and even if it was pouring in heavy rain at the moment, you could still smell the strong smell of kerosene.

   This fire was not an accident.

   He thought so in his heart, and saw that Luo Yong turned around and left without saying a word, he hurriedly followed, not thinking about what to say, let someone go to the house and tell him first.

   This matter is beyond the scope of his ability to handle. He is now at a loss, and he has absolutely no idea what to do. He can only pray in his heart that someone will come soon.

  The yard was silent, except for the sound of rain. Standing in front of the main room, Rayong suddenly stretched his foot and kicked the door.
