In an instant, dozens of eyes fell on Chu Ye's back.
"Stop! Who are you?
Did you set the fire?"
The security captain yelled angrily.
Chu Ye gave a faint sneer, without even stopping his footsteps, then he stepped a little further, and like an arrow from a string, he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Damn it!"
"You are so brave, you dare to set fire to the Zhou family's warehouse!"
"I think he's tired of living!"
That night was the first snowfall in the town this year, and it was also the most disastrous day in the history of the Zhou family.
The raging fire burning in the warehouse turned a large area of the sky red, and many people went out to take a look. The residents of the entire island were shocked.
The Zhou family's warehouse was burned down to nothing. The originally magnificent warehouse turned into a black ruin. The mountains of materials inside were burned to ashes. In addition, more than a dozen security guards were burned.
.
As the head of the Zhou family, when Zhou Dahai learned about this incident, he was furious, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He sent out dozens of Zhou family security guards to search for the whereabouts of the arsonist from street to street.
For so many years, the Zhou family has been a powerful presence in the town, and no one has ever dared to challenge the Zhou family's authority. But tonight, the Zhou family's warehouse was burned down! Damn it, this is simply too old.
Breaking ground! Losing tens of millions of money is a trivial matter. The loss of face made Zhou Dahai furious the most! It wasn't until dawn that this farce gradually dissipated.
Dozens of security guards from the Zhou family, led by Zhou Peng, searched the streets and alleys of the town and found no trace of the arsonist.
In their view, the arsonist was probably an outsider, or even an enemy of the Zhou family in another place. Otherwise, the common people in the town would not dare to go against the Zhou family even if they had evil intentions but no courage.
What's more, judging from the skill of the arsonist, the opponent is probably a master of internal strength, and his skills are definitely not possessed by people in this town.
That night, after Chu Ye left Zhou's house, he did not go back to the small restaurant. Instead, he went to the back mountain and found a cave.
He must improve his strength now, otherwise it will be very dangerous whether he stays in the town or returns to Aurous Hill.
In the cave, Chu Ye took out several ginseng plants and other herbs from the Zhou family's warehouse, then held his breath and concentrated, and began to refine the meridians along the Ancient Phoenix Meridian.
At dawn, even though the cave is deep in the back mountain, there are still thunderous sounds and splashes of air. If this scene was seen by uninformed people, they would probably think that the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked.
After everything calmed down, Chu Ye walked out of the cave.
"Swish, swish, swish" Chu Ye flicked his fingers together, and streams of air flew out, like sword rays, easily penetrating the tree trunk in front of him, sending a burst of sawdust flying.
He felt relaxed all over his body, and his strength had recovered a lot. He had at least one-third of his peak strength. The average internal strength master was no longer his opponent.
At this moment, the snow that had fallen all night outside had stopped, and the sky and the earth were completely white.
After Chu Ye left the cave, he felt that his body was full of vitality, and streams of vitality were flowing through his meridians.
"Gurgling..." There was a sudden sound in my stomach.
After a night of practice, not only the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were consumed, but also the food eaten yesterday was digested. If ordinary people absorbed so much essence of heaven and earth, they would have fainted from nosebleeds. However, Chu Ye is an ancient phoenix body.
, the recovery ability is extremely powerful. As long as there is enough essence of heaven and earth, it can be absorbed continuously. I have to say that this is simply a luxury.
On the way down the mountain, Chu Ye caught two more pheasants, picked some herbs, and then walked to the small restaurant.
Pushing open the door and walking in, I saw steaming porridge and braised pig's trotters already set on the dining table.
When the little girl saw Chu Ye coming back with two pheasants, she jumped up with joy: "Brother, you got up so early... Do you know there was a fire last night?"
Chu Ye handed the two pheasants in his hand to the little girl, smiled and said nothing more.
When the old man saw the wind and snow on Chu Ye's body, he couldn't help but be surprised. Thinking of the fire at Zhou's house last night and the wish his granddaughter made in front of Chu Ye, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and he was surprised in his heart.
He looked at Chu Ye.
There is no doubt that the old man has guessed that the person who set the Zhou family on fire last night was most likely Chu Ye.
"Child, last night..." Before the old man could ask, Chu Ye smiled faintly and said, "The Zhou family has done many evil things. God wants to punish them, and they can't blame others."
The old man thought for a while, nodded, and said, "It's better to be careful. The girl's parents..." When he said this, the old man's eyes suddenly turned red.
In the beginning, Nannan's parents took the lead in opposing the Zhou family and led the neighbors to resist the violent demolition of the Zhou family, which later led to the incident in Shanghai.
Although on the surface it seems that Nannan's parents died in a shipwreck, in fact everyone in the town knows in their hearts that the Zhou family must be behind this.
"Brother, let's have braised chicken nuggets for lunch, okay?"
The little girl put the two pheasants into the kitchen, then held a few chestnuts and handed them to Chu Ye to eat with a smile.
Chu Ye nodded, touched the little girl's head and said, "Okay, I will make braised chicken nuggets for you at noon, as well as fragrant chicken drumstick rice."
"Brother, you are so kind. My daughter likes you very much!"
The little girl wiped the saliva from her mouth and said happily.
After breakfast, Chu Ye pounded the herbs collected from the mountains and made them into a paste for his grandfather and grandson to take.
Yesterday, the grandfather and grandson were severely beaten by Zhou Peng, especially the old man who coughed up blood. If not treated as soon as possible, his body may not be able to bear it.
Although the medicine was very bitter, the little girl still frowned and drank it, and said thank you to Chu Ye very sensibly.
Then, the little girl jumped into the kitchen and helped He Liuer kill the chicken.
Looking at his sensible granddaughter, the old man was filled with emotion and said: "Young man, I know you are not an ordinary person. If you leave here, can you take your daughter with you?
My old bones are no longer useful, and I will only be a drag on her in the future. I still want to stay on the island to accompany my son and daughter-in-law, one more year, otherwise no one will visit their graves during the Qingming Festival..."
Chu Ye put his hand on the old man's hand and said calmly: "Everything will have the best outcome."
The old man opened his mouth and was about to plead again when a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the store door.
"What a bastard! I'm so unlucky! The fire last night almost burned me to death!"
"Damn it, if I catch that bastard who set the fire, I'll break his legs!"
Outside the door, it was Zhou Peng who barged in with a few of his men, cursing all the way.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Peng cursed: "Old man, hurry up and make a table of wine and food. If the food is served slowly, I will chop off one of your hands first!"
