Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 337: The story of the sickly villain being promoted to a legitimate person (9)

Shi Qi was too sleepy and didn't want to pay attention to the unusual movements at first, but gradually, she realized that there was someone outside.

Because the house was not soundproofed, she could keenly hear the rustling sounds around her.

Almost in an instant, Shi Qi opened his eyes.

The room was quiet, and the sound outside the door was maximized.

"Shh, keep your voice down, you'll wake me up...it's over." The man's voice was very soft, even Shi Qi couldn't hear it clearly.

I just feel that this voice...sounds familiar.

"Don't worry, I've already... opened the door... Hehe, let's see how she will..."

Shi Qi frowned slightly. At this moment, she also smelled... a smell similar to that of explosives.

Feeling something was wrong, Shi Qi kicked the door hard without hesitation.

But there seemed to be something stuck outside the wooden door, and the wooden door that was so fragile in the past could not be kicked open at this moment.

With this kick, the people outside the door suddenly fell silent.

Realizing that the people in the room had woken up, they all quickened their movements.

Shi Qi kicked the door several times, but there was no response. The strange smell in the room became increasingly stronger, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"It's you guys, right? What do you want to do?" Shi Qi asked calmly, knowing that the people outside the door had not left.

The man outside the door didn't pretend anymore and said sarcastically, "Hey, little girl, you still remember us. I didn't intend to do anything. I just saw that it was cold, so I helped you warm up the house. Hahahaha."

"Hehe, but you won't be able to see us after tonight. If you want to blame someone... blame yourself for messing with us."

There was no worry or fear in the men's voices, as if they were used to doing this kind of thing.

In this era, crimes such as murder and arson are not uncommon.

If she really encountered such a blatant thing, she would be really angry.

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this kind of thing?" Shi Qi suppressed his anger and tried to get some more words out of him.

"Huh? Retribution. Who can catch someone these days? Even evidence is useless. Besides, you are not the first one. So many people have died and no one cares about us." A man said, seeming very proud.

"Shut up, why the hell are you talking to her so much!"

"Oh... Boss, I..."

"Shut up, don't waste your words on this bitch, burn it quickly!"

Shi Qi's mouth corners stiffened slightly. These people are serious.

She knew earlier that she should have taken ruthless measures to resolve the problem last time.

I blame myself for becoming more and more soft-hearted for no apparent reason.

Shi Qi didn't have time to think about it, because there was a sudden crackling sound outside, and flames started burning. The whole room instantly became brighter, and the fireworks outside began to spread into the house, mixed with explosives in the air, and crackling flames splashed everywhere.

"Cough cough..." Despite holding his breath, Shi Qi still choked.

Even the only ventilation window she installed was nailed shut with iron sheets at some point.

These people really wanted to kill her, and they would have already set her up.

"Squeak...Squeak"

The fire grew more and more intense, and a large area of ​​the house began to catch fire. Her wooden bed and wooden table were also covered by the fire. The heat and smoke hit her nose, and the moment she inhaled it, it seemed as if her whole organ was melting.

The more times like this, the calmer she needs to be.

Shi Qi quickly found a wet towel, lowered his body, covered his mouth and nose, and looked around.

The house she had renovated was very solid, but now it became a cage that imprisoned her. She hadn't had time to replace the roof, so she just reinforced it with wood.

And the roof became the only place where she could go out.

But now the fire was blazing and the hemp rope had already been burned to ashes.

At this moment, the Red Demon Whip suddenly appeared out of thin air, and a part of it turned into a water column, surrounding Shi Qi and isolating him from the heat.

Shi Qi was a little stunned. She didn't summon it this time.

How come... you came out by yourself?

But at the moment, Shi Qi didn’t have time to think about it. She pursed her lips and smiled. Her little thing was still reliable.

It is a treasure that has accompanied her for a thousand years, and it can sense her just a glance.

At the moment when the fire was about to engulf him, Shi Qi took advantage of the momentum and jumped towards the roof holding the Red Demon Whip in one hand.

She desperately smashed the roof with one hand and hung on the beam with the other hand. The thick smoke could no longer flow into her body. After a while, a hole was made in the roof, and Shi Qi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Red Demon Whip disappeared out of thin air again, as if it had never appeared.

Before Shi Qi had time to think about the strangeness of the Red Demon Whip, a muffled groan attracted his attention.

At the edge of the roof, a small dark figure looked into her eyes.

As Shi Qi approached, the small black shadow gradually became clearer.

It’s Shen Jingnian.

He didn't know where he got the ladder that was not suitable for his height. It was shaking and his face was covered with dust. He stopped only when he saw that Shi Qi was safe and sound.

"Auntie... ahem, are you okay?" Shen Jingnian looked at the ladder under his feet that was about to break due to the burn, so he simply threw the ladder down and sat on the roof.

When Shi Qi saw the child, he was really surprised: "Why are you here in the middle of the night?"

"I came here to give you something, and then I saw your house was on fire, I..."

Shi Qi: "Are you worried about me?"

Shen Jingnian nodded, then shook his head: "I encountered it... I just don't want to get involved in any deaths."

Shi Qi felt warm in his heart and wanted to continue teasing her, but it was not a good time.

Because she suddenly felt heat under her butt, the fire spread to the roof.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will fall down once the house is burned down.

"Come over here, I'll take you down." Shi Qi didn't dare to move, for fear that his weight would cause the house to be empty, so he had to let the child move towards him.

There was no fear in Shen Jingnian's eyes, as if he didn't take the fire seriously, and he walked straight towards her.

The moment she hugged him, the house could no longer bear the weight and collapsed.

Shi Qi turned over and hugged the little man in his arms tightly, trying to keep him on top of his body.

"Pfft..."

With a muffled groan, Shi Qi fell heavily. Fortunately, she knew that the soil behind her house was newly renovated and was soft and fresh, so nothing serious would happen.

Shen Jingnian only felt that his body was particularly warm, and the smell of fireworks, with her unique fragrance, made him dazed for a moment.

That kind of warmth and protection left him overwhelmed as he had never experienced it before.

He struggled to get up, stood aside and said awkwardly: "Hey, are you okay? Don't say that I hit you too hard."

Shi Qi saw that everyone was fine, so he stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Of course it's okay, kid, no matter what, I thank you for coming."

The child just lowered his head and said nothing. His gray face and arms looked somewhat funny.

"By the way, didn't you say you would give me something? Let Auntie see what you gave me?"

When Shi Qi reminded him, Shen Jingnian suddenly slapped his head and rummaged in his trouser pocket.

The fire was so big that the child suffered many burns. However, he seemed to have no sense of pain and didn't care at all. He just carefully took out a gray object from his pocket.

When Shen Jingnian saw the defective product damaged by fire in his hand, his face froze, and his hand, which was about to hand it to Shi Qi, froze in mid-air.

Shi Qi saw the black object and wanted to take it, but he took it back and put it behind his back.

"Don't...don't do that. I brought the wrong one. I'll give it to you next time."

Shi Qi didn't care. He turned his head away from Shen Jingnian and saw clearly what he was holding in his hand.

It should be a sweet cake, but it was burnt and turned into a sticky lump, looking a bit disgusting.

Shen Jingnian's shoulders shuddered, a little scared, and when he turned around he saw Shi Qi's disgusted and disdainful eyes.

Before Shi Qi could speak, he quickly turned around and said fiercely, "What are you looking at? I told you I brought the wrong person."

The child looked fierce, but there was a hint of grievance in his eyes.

It was obvious that he really wanted to give this sweet cake to her.

It just happened that there was an unexpected situation on her side.

"Are you going to give me a sweet cake?"

She was very curious, this sweet cake didn't seem like something he could get.

"Hmm...hmm? No, oh, don't ask anymore. I want to go home." Shen Jingnian was discovered, his ears were red, and he felt a little annoyed.

He heard the kids say that girls like sweet things.

He ate so many of her buns that he wanted to give her a sweet cake in return.

Unexpectedly, there were still accidents.

"How did you get it? Did you do it yourself?" Shi Qi tidied the child's clothes and continued to ask.

Shen Jingnian frowned and said loudly: "I stole it, okay!"

Then, without waiting for Shi Qi to react, he turned around and walked away angrily.

Shi Qi came back to his senses and looked at the back of the child who walked away angrily with his hands on his hips and stomping his feet. He felt like laughing.

"Do you have somewhere to go?" Shi Qi shouted.

"Yes! Auntie, you should worry about yourself!"

Shi Qi’s mouth corners stiffened slightly: What a little kid with a hard mouth and a soft heart, not cute at all!

But she suddenly realized that at this moment... she was the one who had nowhere to go...

But the next second, a familiar and warm voice sounded beside me.

"Qiqi, my god, how come the house burned down... I'm glad no one is hurt, come quickly, to my aunt's house..."

“Take a hot bath…”

The thick smoke had not yet dissipated, and among the tiny flames, the hunched figure of the old woman slowly approached her.

Perhaps, at that moment, with just one or two helping hands, she would already know who she was supposed to protect in this world.
