Although no one is sure who set the fire, the biggest suspect is undoubtedly the Lin family.
Considering the recent situation, no one except the Lin family would be so cruel.
At the tea stall next to Sanyuan Restaurant, several people were drinking tea and chatting.
"Hey, the Lin family is quite ruthless. They kick people out of the Lin family and cut off their livelihood. I heard that all the money of the husband-in-law was spent on the medicine shop. This fire burned it down.
.”
"This can't be entirely blamed on the Lin family. Who made that boy ignorant of the world? He dared to hit the young master of the Zheng family! What if he wasn't seeking death? If the Lin family had not done so cruelly, the Lin family would not have been able to bear it when the Zheng family's anger was vented. This can be regarded as
The Lin family needs to show their attitude to the Zheng family."
"That's right! The Lin family also has their own reasons. And the husband-in-law is also ignorant. What does it mean to have some medical skills? His medical fees are so high that many people don't dare to see a doctor at all. This kind of person has talent but no virtue.
Getting to this point is all retribution."
While several people were talking, Mr. Mo was drinking tea here as usual.
Listening to everyone's discussion, I couldn't help but frown.
Sitting with Mr. Mo was the bearded man.
The bearded man, holding back his anger, patted the table and said angrily: "That person named Zheng is really not a thing. The old man clearly mentioned it to them, but they didn't even give him any face! He was in Jixian County, but he reached out his hand.
Mang County is such a powerful place, so it would be easier to just kill them all!"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to Ji County!"
"Are you mentally ill? Sit down with me!"
"Old man! That man named Zheng doesn't know how to praise someone."
"Face? What kind of face does our Mo family have? We finally came here, so we should live a good life and don't think about causing trouble all day long. The Zheng family is the leader of the noble clan in Youzhou. If you give face, you are also giving face to our master. Now the master
If they are all gone, will they still be afraid of us?"
"Hey! The tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog!"
"Did I bully you?"
"..."
Mr. Mo took a deep breath and said, "The Lin family's plan to kill everyone is a good thing for us."
"What does the old man mean by this?"
"That boy Bai is definitely not a thing in the pond. If he can be tied to my Mo family and avenge his master in the future, he can contribute a lot."
"Tsk!" The bearded man said with disdain, "A weak scholar who can't carry his shoulders or lift his hands will avenge his master one day. It's enough if he doesn't hold him back. How can he still contribute?"
"As a martial artist, what do you know? If my master hadn't valued martial arts over literature and was overly conceited, he wouldn't have fallen victim to Li Er's treacherous plan. Today's world is not like the days when they were fighting on horseback. Today's world is all about power and tactics.
, a martial artist like you has long been useless."
The bearded man was so disciplined that he didn't dare to talk back.
The surrounding chatter also disappeared.
Mr. Mo stood up, put down his two companions, and turned around to go to his home on the other side of the street.
As soon as I arrived at my small courtyard, I saw my granddaughter waving in the back room: "Grandpa, grandpa..."
Today, Mo has changed into fresh clothes, taken a bamboo hat, and wandered around the courtyard for a long time. Until he felt a little cold, he returned to the house and put on the fiery red cloak.
That is, while walking around the courtyard, Mo Jiqing listened to the comments of passers-by and became a little anxious.
Mr. Mo came to his granddaughter: "Is there something wrong with Bai Xiaozi's medicine?"
"Nothing wrong, I just heard someone say that Doctor Bai's shop was on fire last night?"
Mr. Mo nodded.
"What's the situation? Is Dr. Bai injured?"
"Little Bai is fine, but the shop was burned down and the medicine is gone."
"Who did it?"
"Let's go to the Lin family. Apart from the Lin family, there is no other choice."
"The Lin family is so disgusting!"
Mr. Mo was speechless and frowned with worry.
"Grandpa, why don't you go to Dr. Bai's place quietly and see how much help we have."
"I heard that Bai Xiaozi was kicked out of the Lin family. He set up a stall and treated diseases for a living. He must have been short of money, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for such a high medical fee. Now that the shop has been burned down, it must be money. .”
"Money..." Mo Jiqing frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
If it was just money, Mo Jiqing really couldn't say anything.
My family is also short of money, and expenses have become a problem.
I rely on my two uncles to make bamboo knitting and sell it every day, but I can't make ends meet. How can I have the money to support Dr. Bai?
Mo Jiqing was even more worried, thinking: "Grandpa, I want to go see Doctor Bai."
"What are you doing over there?" A voice suddenly interrupted Mo Jiqing.
It was Mo Feibai who came in from the house angrily and reached his grandfather in a few steps.
"Grandpa, why did you betroth your sister to that poor family?!"
Mr. Mo frowned: "What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with David! That guy is not a good guy! I have a problem with him!"
"Okay, don't worry about this!"
"How could I ignore it? This is my sister! That person named Bai just relied on his medical skills to deceive you into favoring him. In fact, that person is a petty, fussy bastard. How can he be worthy of my sister?"
Mo Jiqing frowned beside him, but the matter involved him and he couldn't talk much, so he could only remain silent.
Mo Lao frowned: "You mean, I don't see people as well as you do?"
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, don't be fooled by that boy's appearance."
"You bastard! How are you talking?"
This time Mo Feibai got really angry. He waved his hand and threw away his permission. He picked up his third uncle's sword and rushed out of the yard.
"Mo Feibai! What are you going to do?" Mo Jiqing shouted in a hurry.
"I'm going to teach that kid a lesson, how dare he take advantage of my sister!"
"Grandpa! You...you..."
"Cough cough cough..." Mr. Mo got excited and couldn't help coughing.
Mo Jiqing became even more anxious and rushed out of the yard to chase his brother.
"Dakui! Hurry! Follow quickly, don't cause trouble..."
"Sir, it's not right for Dakui to be there, so I'd better go."
The third uncle in the house, Mo Yu, quickly came out, took Mo Feibai's fan and chased him out.
…
The three people from the Mo family finally arrived at Bai Song's courtyard after stumbling all the way.
Mo Jiqing was very considerate. On the one hand, he stopped his brother, but on the other hand, he took this opportunity to come and have a look. Otherwise, he would not be able to come to a girl's house.
Mo Feibai couldn't understand, but later his uncle Xinming came in and saw through at a glance that his young lady was in love with that young boy.
I just don’t know if this love came from my heart or was persuaded by my old man.
"Brother, you can come, but don't cause trouble!"
"I know! As long as that guy doesn't say anything rude, I will never lose my courtesy."
Mo Jiqing felt relieved, looked at the closed courtyard door, touched his face, and said to himself that the sunscreen was really comfortable, and there was still no difference on his face after being out for so long.
Dr. Bai is really amazing.
Just as he was thinking about it, his younger brother stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Be gentle, you broke someone's door!"
Before Mo Feibai turned around, the door opened.
It was Bai Rou who opened the door!
When Mo Feibai saw Bai Rou, all his anger dissipated instantly, revealing a coquettish smile.
"Aunt Bai..."
"Bang!"
No words were spoken, and the door was closed directly.
Then Bai Rou's shout came from inside: "Go away, I hate you!"
"Miss Bai, Miss Bai..."
"Look at you!" Mo Jiqing complained behind him, then went up and knocked twice.
Then the courtyard door opened a crack again, Bai Rou showed an eye and asked: "What are you here for?"
Mo Jiqing smiled: "Where is Doctor Bai?"
"My brother is out."
"out?"
"Um."
"I heard that the shop was hit by fire, so we came here to check on it."
Bai Rou's eyes behind the door showed frustration: "Yeah, but there's nothing to visit. They were all burned down."
"So, what's Dr. Bai doing out there? I don't know if there's anything I can do to help."
"My brother...my brother..." Bai Rou frowned and hesitated, looking very embarrassed.
"What's wrong, Doctor Bai? Are you feeling depressed?"
"It's not that I'm depressed. My brother said early in the morning that he wanted to take revenge... I couldn't stop him. I was afraid that my brother would do something stupid."
"Ah?" Mo Jiqing's expression changed, "Revenge? How can he...how can he compete with the Lin family? Where has he been?"
"I don't know...but I'm a little worried..."
Mo Feibai's voice came from behind: "Miss Bai, I'll go find your brother and stop him from doing bad things. How about I apologize?"
"I hate it! I'm afraid that my brother will do something stupid, but it's not a bad thing! You're so annoying!"
Mo Jiqing turned around and glared: "Shut up!"
Then he said to Bai Judao: "Don't worry, sister, I will go look for it for you right now. I will never let Doctor Bai do anything stupid."
"um. Thank you."
I learned from Bai Rou that Bai Song was going to take revenge.
The three Mo family members did not go to the courtyard again.
The three of them returned to the street, and Mo Jiqing said anxiously: "Third uncle, let's go look for them separately."
"Sister, do you really want to look for her? What does Bai Song have to do with us? Why are you looking for her?"
Mo Jiqing ignored him: "If you don't want to look for it, then I won't look for it. I'll look for it myself."
"Miss, who are you? How can you wander around?"
Mo Jiqing didn't listen very much, and still said to himself: "Mang County is only so big. If we search separately, we can find the person quickly."
…
The Bai Song Dynasty is now in the western suburbs.
Bai Song has never been here since the Sangsang family left the western suburbs.
Niu Da led the way until they arrived outside a ruined temple in the western suburbs.
Before this, Bai Song had never known that there was a ruined temple in the western suburbs.
Blocked by layers of roofs, it is in the center of the chaotic building complex in the western suburbs.
And here, all the county residents tacitly agreed to provide an open space.
There is a certain distance on all sides of the slope where no sheds have been set up, and no one dares to get close to it.
Just because this place has been occupied by a group of local gangsters for a long time, many people here have cases on their hands.
The county people outside are a natural cover. As soon as official officials come, the county people will cover for them and buy them time to escape.
In return, these gangsters will stop bullying people in the western suburbs.
Without Niu Da leading the way, Bai Song would not have been able to see anyone in the ruined temple.
For the time being, Niu Da didn't understand why Bai Song came to such a place.
