Chapter 100.3: 縱火
[Set on Fire/ Commit Arson]
The master and servant walked towards the Chen family, facing several rogue hooligans.
They looked at Chen Ling Er’s way of dressing, as well as that slim figure, immediately their heart moved, although they could see but could not eat but it was good to flirt a little bit. Therefore one of them came up to the front, wanting to go to pull Chen Ling Er, “Miss, this long night, you walk alone at night is not safe, better I send you back ba!”
Chen Ling Er felt that, from that long away, she could smell the stench of alcohol on their bodies, vigorously flinging her sleeves, wanting to break away from his hands, “Let go, be careful I call someone to arrest you guys.”
“Yo, Miss still has a temper.” Hearing Chen Ling Er’s voice, that little rascal became more and more in high spirits, looking at her face veil, as he became interested and impolitely said, “Miss this veil under the face must be extremely beautiful, let us see.”
Hearing his words, Chen Ling Er instantly panicked, hastily went to cover her veil, afraid it would be pulled down.
But the rascal there, who listened to her, reached out his hand to pull her veil, he then staggered in place. That grasping hand also unconsciously loosened a little, only to see that the veil under her face, not knowing how she got hurt, was covered with small traces. In the flickering candlelight, she looked even more horrible.
Chen Ling Er saw these outlaw guys were scared by her face, between in grief and indignation, she fiercely glared at him, pulled out her own hand, and quickly ran towards the Chen family’s residence. The little maid behind her saw the situation, immediately followed.
Until Chen Ling Er and the maid ran far away, the gangster who had just stopped them only said with lingering fear: “Good (obedient), just now that woman’s face, actually how did she get hurt like this?”
His words just fell, then came the voice of his brother’s partner, “I don’t know, but women… when the lights go out, they’re all the same.” After that, they laughed warmly, revealing a look of mutual understanding, and the others around him also followed suit.
The little rascal then came back to senses, with his brothers, they opened up the meatless jokes.
Just when several people were talking and laughing, they wanted to rush to the next drinking game, suddenly heard the sound of shouting from a distance, “On fire, on fire, Quickly come here ah! Quickly come to put out the fire!”
They followed the sound and looked up, only to see less than a hundred meters away from here, a shop backyard was on fire.
“Isn’t that Chen Family Restaurant? I remember that the food there was very delicious, how all of a sudden it was on fire?” One of them asked in surprise, only to get a few people beside them shaking their heads in unison.
Chen Xing is now lying on the bed, rolling in the soft quilt, and then staring at the bed curtains carefully calculating, thinking about the next few days, what to make for him to sell at their restaurant?
Their wild boar meat sold out, immediately taken over by venison made into medicated food; the result is also unanimously praised, especially those Lord who did not lack money. Every day the small handleless cups of it were sold, it is estimated the rest of the venison will not last any longer.
But what made Chen Xing the most happy is, it was unknown whether his dietary supplements have a therapeutic effect, or Gu Lang now exercises more, so that his body is much better. Even though the weather is changing quite frequently, Gu Lang is not coughing or getting sick like before.
Chen Xing thinks this tonic food (food considered to be particularly healthful) is really effective. He can’t stop it in the future. However, he felt that while supplementing, he should also pay attention to supervise Gu Lang’s exercise, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.
Calculating well all of these, Chen Xing held the quilt, ready to go to see the Duke of Zhou [ son of King Wen of Zhōu Wénwáng [周文王], played an important role as regent in founding the Western Zhou Xī Zhōu [西周], and is also known as the “God of Dreams”] when he woke up, he had to start another busy day.
However the moment Chen Xing closed her eyes, the next second, her room door was knocked from the outside, followed by Qiu Jiu’s panicked voice, “Little Boss, the shop is on fire.”
Chen Xing’s brain has not completely stopped working, blinded for a moment, then swish open his eyes, immediately jumped up from the bed, put on the coat and rushed to the door. He pulled the door open, looked at the people’s outside, and asked anxiously: “What actually happened?”
“The shop is on fire.” Qiu Jiu repeated what he had just said.
Chen Xing was shocked and quickly said, “Let’s go over and take a look.”
As Chen Xing said this, he hurriedly wore his clothes well and hurriedly left, after two steps he turned back and said towards Qiu Jiu: “We can go over there, if Gu Lang is not well, then don’t call him.”
Qiu Jiu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Xing’s firm eyes and nodded obediently.
After the two of them left in a hurry, another room not far from Chen Xing’s room was opened from the inside, followed by a slender silhouette walking out slowly.
