The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 147 Fire

"You are not an ordinary hunter. Hunters don't have such good skills as you, nor will they kill people as ruthlessly as you do." Suzaku suddenly spoke.

His voice was very flat, without any ups and downs.

"You are not an ordinary killer. Ordinary killers would not be so rich and carry so many hidden weapons on them."

There was a hint of mockery in Xiao Huaian's words.

Suzaku's face heated up.

So many hidden weapons still failed to hurt the opponent at all. Is he making fun of himself?

"You killed someone. Even if I can't kill you, your family will be involved in a lawsuit."

Zhuque said, "With your hidden identity, you will be in endless trouble in the future."

Xiao Huaian laughed softly, "Who said I killed them? It was obviously you who killed them!"

Suzaku's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, Xiao Huaian came in front of him.

Zhuque's hidden weapons had all gone empty and the scimitar in his hand had been thrown out. He could only fight Xiao Huaian with the hoe he picked up from the side of the yard.

At this moment, the disparity in power between the two immediately became apparent.

Xiao Huaian chopped with an axe, and Zhuque tried to block it with a hoe, but the hoe handle was immediately cut into two pieces.

Zhuque staggered and picked up the hoe to block in front of himself, but he didn't expect Xiao Huaian's axe to have already circled behind him.

The sharp blade of the axe was pressed against Suzaku's neck.

"Don't move. If you move your brain again, we'll be separated."

Xiao Huaian took advantage of Zhuque's distraction and kicked him to the ground.

He asked in a low voice: "Tell me, who sent you?"

Suzaku kept his face on the ground, his voice devoid of any emotion, "I won't tell you. Not until you promise to let me go."

"If you don't tell me, there's no point in keeping it."

Xiao Huaian raised his axe, and Zhuque laughed: "Kill me, and you won't be able to ask anything."

Xiao Huaian had a blank expression on his face. He chopped the man's head off with one blow of the axe.

"If I keep you, I still won't be able to ask anything."

He has seen many people like this, who want to save their lives by keeping a little secret, but in the end they won't say anything.

……

Ye Xinran stood in front of the window, carefully identifying the sounds coming from next door.

She couldn't do anything herself, and if she went out now, she would only cause trouble for Xiao Huaian.

But her heart was beating so fast that she could hardly breathe.

She pinched her fingers hard, praying that Xiao Huaian would win.

It seemed like a century later, the sound from next door finally died down.

But Xiao Huaian didn't come back.

After a while, it suddenly became bright outside and there was a crackling sound.

Ye Xinran no longer cared about the danger. She ran out of the room barefoot and saw a big fire in Wang Po's house next door.

Amidst the flames rising into the sky, Xiao Huaian, covered in blood, walked slowly towards them like a god of war.

Ye Xinran pounced on him at once.

"I'm so glad you're okay."

Xiao Huaian lifted Ye Xinran up with both hands, fearing that his blood would stain her clothes. "The ground is so cold, why did you run out without shoes?"

Only then did Ye Xinran notice the chill brought by the night wind.

"Is he dead?"

Ye Xinran looked at Xiao Huaian covered in blood and guessed.

"died!"

"Zhang Dashan and the others..."

Ye Xinran looked at the blazing fire and asked hesitantly.

"They died a long time ago. They were all killed by that person."

Xiao Huaian said slowly.

He was not afraid of the eyes of the world, but he was afraid that Ye Xinran would be afraid of him.

He didn't want Ye Xinran to think that he was a devil who killed people without blinking an eye.

The next moment, Ye Xinran said, "Go into the house and change your clothes. The villagers will be awake soon. If they find you like this, you won't be able to explain yourself."

"it is good!"

Xiao Huaian held Ye Xinran in his arms until he entered the house and then put her on the bed.

Then, Xiao Huaian took off his clothes in front of Ye Xinran.

He bent down to pick up the dirty clothes on the ground, wanting to find a place to hide them, but Ye Xinran urged him, "Go take a shower, I'll take care of the rest."

Xiao Huaian obediently went outside, and the moment he turned his head, Ye Xinran put the bloodstained clothes on the ground into the space.

Xiao Huaian took a shower very quickly.

By the time Ye Xinran calmed down, put on her clothes and walked outside, Xiao Huaian had also put on his clothes and was pouring water on Mrs. Zhang's house across the courtyard wall.

He removed all the mechanisms in the yard, and when he saw villagers coming to watch the fun, he called on everyone to put out the fire together.

Seeing Xiao Huaian working so hard to put out the fire, everyone was a little confused: "Brother Xiao, I didn't expect you to not bear grudges at all. Zhang Dashan's family treated you so badly before, and you were still willing to help them!"

Xiao Huaian looked calm, "I'm not helping them, I just don't want the fire to get too big and hurt my family."

"So that's it!"

Everyone suddenly realized, "Let's help you together!"

Gradually more and more people came.

After the village head arrived, he immediately directed the young and strong laborers in the village to put out the fire together.

The villagers came and went in the Xiao family's yard, and soon the yard was trampled into a mess.

However, the fire was so big that even though everyone tried their best, they were unable to put it down.

The village head had no choice but to ask everyone to build a line of defense at the Xiao family’s courtyard wall to prevent the fire from spreading.

The fire continued to burn until dawn, then gradually died down.

The village head asked everyone to protect the fire scene.

He also sent Niu Er and Erzhu to the county government to report the case.

He stayed at the Xiao family and asked them what happened last night.

"How did this fire start suddenly? Did you hear any noise last night?"

Xiao Huaian replied: "We went to bed early yesterday and didn't hear any noise."

The two children also looked confused. Changan said, "We went to bed early yesterday. Before going to bed, my second uncle asked me to recite the Three Character Classic. I fell asleep while reciting."

"And we couldn't hear any sound from outside. We only discovered it this morning," Changping also said.

Ye Xinran said: "After the fire started, my husband and I heard it. At first, I thought someone was setting off firecrackers in the middle of the night. Then I suddenly thought, it's not a festival, how could someone set off firecrackers, so I asked my husband to go out and take a look.

After he went out, he found that there was a fire.

Uncle Lizheng, although our family is not on good terms with Mrs. Zhang’s family, we were the first to rush out to put out the fire.”

"Uh……"

The village chief was choked.

It doesn’t seem to be important whether you are first or not.

"Zhang Zong is away from home all year round. Now such a big thing happened at home. I don't know if he can get the trust. I have been the head of the village for so many years, but I have never encountered such a big fire.

There may be something fishy going on here, we have to wait until the detectives investigate before we can say anything."

The head of the village talked a lot, but Ye Xinran couldn't hear the main point. She only knew that he had reported the case.

I hope the county detectives are not that smart and can’t track them down.

Ye Xinran thought.
