Then I saw Lao Bai and Ni Yao waving to me on the first floor, gesturing for me to come down quickly.
The purple babies behind me rushed towards me again. When I ran to the first floor, the purple babies also chased me.
Old Bai Loach was already waiting for me at the door. When they saw me, one of them took my arm and pulled me out.
After arriving outside, I looked at Loach and then at Lao Bai, "Are you all ready with the gasoline?"
"Ready." It was Lao Bai who answered me.
After finishing speaking, Lao Bai took out the bottle in his hand and lit it with a lighter. That bottle was the one I used to hold gasoline. Although the gasoline has been poured out now, there must still be some in the empty bottle.
There is some remaining gasoline left.
When the lighter is ignited, the entire bottle will burn.
Lao Bai immediately threw the bottle in, and the bottle fell on a piece of dry wood inside. The fire began to burn, and thick smoke immediately billowed in the house.
"No, those purple babies are coming, close the door quickly!" Loach shouted in panic.
Sure enough, those purple babies had climbed down the stairs, and their target was us.
"Hurry up and close the door!"
"Papa..."
"Papa..."
After closing the door, I guess the group of purple babies also rushed to the door, and they all rushed to the wooden door together.
Fortunately, the entire wooden building is still built using an older construction method. There is also a wooden bolt on the outside of the wooden door. After inserting it, the person inside will not be able to directly knock the wooden door open unless he is extremely strong.
It's hard to get out.
"Squeak..."
"Squeak..."
The wooden building began to burn, and the fire became more and more intense, and thick smoke flew straight into the sky like a fire dragon.
The purple baby trapped in the wooden building kept making squeaking sounds.
The three of us stepped aside early.
"Dongfang, do you think those purple babies can rush out?" Loach frowned.
"I don't know." I shrugged my shoulders and said helplessly, "Now we still hope that this wooden door is strong enough to block us from those purple babies that are like wolves and tigers!"
In fact, I am not only worried about the purple baby. I am also thinking that now that we have burned this wooden building, it is impossible for the people in the village to see such a huge fire. What will they do when they ask?
Fortunately, the wooden building has been abandoned for a long time, so there are no other buildings around it. Otherwise, we would have to prevent the fire from spreading further.
In this way, we need to dig an isolation belt, but with just the three of us, it is too difficult to dig an isolation belt in a short time.
I told Loach and Lao Bai about the problems I was worried about about the wooden building.
After hearing this, Loach patted his head, "Yes! How could we have forgotten such an important issue? Otherwise, we should retreat now! Before other villagers come over. If anyone asks us afterwards, we will say we don't know.
.”
"Forget it!" I waved my hand, "When we came here, we told Sister-in-law Gu that we were coming to Mulou. Even if we didn't say it, Lu Changqing would know that it was us if he asked other people.
Do it.”
"That being said, we can't hide this matter!" Loach looked a little depressed, and the joy of surviving the disaster had completely disappeared.
Lao Bai pondered for a while, and then said, "Forget it, there is no need to worry too much about this problem. If Lu Changqing asks us about this matter after the fall, I will pay for it! Anyway, this wooden building is haunted.
Legends are not worth much."
I said with some guilt, "Old Bai, if this is really the case, then Niyi and I have really cost you money, and you have to pay so much money!"
"Why are you telling me these things?" Lao Bai waved his hands nonchalantly, "You came here to help the ghost kid find the murderer. After all, you didn't think you were thinking of me! If it weren't for you, I might have died long ago. I
You saved my life, so what does this little money mean?"
"Money is an external possession, and I think it's worth it to have two good friends like you and Ni Loach. That's enough!"
Lao Bai's words made me feel warm in my heart. Indeed, a person should have such a good friend in his life.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why is there a fire here?" Just as we were discussing what to do next, a panicked voice suddenly came over.
Then I saw a group of people rushing towards our direction, and the leader was Lu Changqing, the head of Lujia Village.
When Lu Changqing saw us, he was very surprised, "Why are you here?"
At the same time, he looked at the burning wooden building and asked, "Why did this wooden building burn?"
"Uh..." I rubbed my hands and said with some embarrassment, "Don't mind the village chief! The three of us just found out today that there is a wooden building nearby, so we came to take a look out of strong curiosity.
But when we were inside, we accidentally lit something on fire and accidentally burned down the whole building. The village chief is really sorry! We didn’t mean it.”
Lao Bai stood up and continued, "But don't worry, village chief, just tell us how much this building is worth, and I will pay for it!"
Lu Changqing looked at me and then at Lao Bai, "Hey, why are you so careless! This building is made of wood, which is very easy to burn. As long as there is a little flame, it will burn quickly. Moreover, this building is easily haunted."
What’s so interesting about the wooden building? Fortunately, there’s no wind today, and there aren’t many plants and buildings near the wooden building. Otherwise, our entire village might be burned down by your fire!”
Lu Changqing criticized us severely. The three of us knew we were wrong and did not dare to refute. We could only nod angrily when he said it.
Then Lu Changqing saw that we were silent, and his tone softened a little, "It's useless to talk about this now!"
He continued, "I don't want you to compensate us. Anyway, the wooden building has no owner. The people who lived here have long gone. However, according to other people, someone once saw someone in the wooden building."
Those people who disappeared long ago, now you have burned down the wooden building, you should be more careful, because those people are very likely to find you."
Lu Changqing's tone is serious, but I am not very worried. I am very careful about my current attainments in Maoshan Taoism, and I still have the Yin-Yang Taoist Robe and the "Eight Ghosts Carrying the Coffin" that my grandfather gave me, so I
