In the dream, Hao Yuan and Zhao Yingong seemed to be the same person, with two faces. Sometimes he showed this face, and sometimes he showed another face. She was confused and confused.
She and Jia Le were the only two people living in the side courtyard, and there were not many people in the whole house. It was eerily quiet. After breakfast, Jia Le brought tea and food over to chat with her and pass the time.
On weekdays at Fenghuang Villa, Xihua has a lot of things to do. She is busy every day as soon as she opens her eyes. She has to be busy until the next morning before she can rest. Going to see Zhao Yingong is a rare free time. She also has to learn from Zhao Yingong every day.
Some of the homework assignments basically have to wait until after the morning shift. Although the body is tired, the spirit is very satisfied.
Now, there is nothing to do after breakfast. Even making the mattress and tidying up the house, things like making the mattress and tidying up the house were originally done by little girls in the villa. There are also maids here to take care of them, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
Xihua was sitting in the main room, and he and Jia Le were sitting at the table, chatting with each other, feeling empty in their hearts.
She had already heard from Jia Le that he might have to lurk here for a month. She felt a little disappointed when she thought that this boring life would last another month.
"Are you so free on weekdays?"
"I don't have so much free time on weekdays. I still have to help my parents with work."
"I mean Mr. Hao."
"I don't know. He is rarely at home. Except when he teaches us classes at night, he is outside most of the time - no one knows where he has gone."
Jia Le knew very well that there were more than a dozen people in Nanxiawa, or at least a few people knew what Hao Yuan was doing. But she kept Hao Yuan's words in mind: some things had not yet been said to Xihua.
Xihua's ability to observe words and emotions was far superior to Jia Le's disguise skills. Seeing Jia Le's eyes flashing, he knew that what she was telling was not the truth. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"I don't know what will happen in the Villa..." Xihua's heart was empty. She couldn't help but think of the people and things in the Villa. She thought that yesterday she was working with these people, but today she has come to another place. Thinking that today the Villa will encounter
In a huge crisis, how do these acquaintances feel about their safety?
As soon as I thought about this, I became more concerned about them.
Jia Le smiled dumbly and did not answer. Seeing that the hint was ineffective, Xihua could only ask openly: How much damage will be done to the villa and bookshop? Will many people die?
"At the villa, our brothers are just there to cause trouble. Most of them are people from the city and other places who have gathered to fight against the society." Jia Le said, "I heard that there are still hundreds of monks."
"Yes, the monk said he wanted to defend the Tao and eliminate demons." Jia Le said boredly, "There are hundreds of red-eyed silkworms..." She suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to say so much and quickly swallowed the following words.
.
"Why are hundreds of companies so jealous?"
"It's just silkworms...mulberry...households," Jia Le said hesitantly.
If she continued, she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing again, so she simply stopped taking Xihua's words and kept looking away to talk about his nonsense.
But she is a semi-literate child, and how much knowledge does she have? Even if she rambles, she can't say much. Xihua already knows by now that neither Hao Yuan nor Jia Le really trust her.
If he really trusted her, he would have taken her as a guide after his sneak attack on Bishan Villa this time. But he left her here alone, and also left behind Jia Le - which means to take care of her. More of a surveillance
.
Although I know that I am a "newcomer" here, and it is normal for me to be untrustworthy when I first come here, I have given up everything and taken a huge risk to invest, but I can't even hear a single honest word. I feel a little unhappy. I am too lazy to talk anymore.
, so one person feels bored.
Jia Le is a kind child. Seeing the look of disappointment on her face, he knew that his defensive attitude had hurt her heart, so he quickly comforted her and said: "Don't worry, the villa is so big, and there are tens of thousands of people in it.
Those people are all working hard, so what can they do? They just set off firecrackers and listen to them."
"Then what are you doing here at the villa? Just to make a fuss?"
"Isn't it just to make a fuss?" Jia Le said, "Mr. Zhao is a master after all. What's the problem with the master? It's just that the master here wants to force the master over there to spit out some benefits.
Don't take it all by yourself. Uncle Hao just used some tricks to make them suffer more."
"Let's build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly." Xihua said, "There's a big fight in the villa over there, but here Mr. Hao has a surprise attack..."
"Sister, you are so smart." Jia Le smiled and clapped her hands. Since she had opened up the conversation, she simply spoke openly.
"Uncle Hao certainly doesn't know why Mr. Shitou should be the 'puncher'. All the gentlemen can eat people without spitting out their bones. How can you sincerely work for them? Besides, Mr. Gou's strategies are really vicious. Hang out with them."
, sooner or later you will suffer a loss. So Uncle Hao is just pretending to cooperate, and everyone gets what they do."
"What kind of vicious method?" Xihua couldn't help but ask, concerned about the acquaintances in the villa.
"Mr. Gou also knew that there would be no trouble in the villa, so he thought of a vicious plan and prepared to launch a fire camp as soon as he rushed into the villa and set Cihui Hall on fire first...
…”
Xihua exclaimed in surprise: "There are tens of thousands of men, women, and children in this Cihui Hall!"
"Why not," Jia Le frowned and said, "That dog doesn't know what kind of hatred he has with Mr. Zhao, so he came up with such a vicious plan. But I heard from Uncle Hao that Mr. Shitou wanted to kill more people in the villa.
The more the better, so Mr. Zhao will no longer be able to stand in Hangzhou and will have no choice but to go back to Guangdong."
This kind of gathering of people to fight with weapons is a big spectacle, but it does not mean killing more people - if you kill too many people, the government will definitely pursue the case. It is expensive and troublesome to buy lives, and if there are more than one person killed, the government cannot cover it up.
But arson is a different matter. In times of chaos, it is difficult to say how the fire started. As long as you control public opinion, you can turn arson into a fire and put all the responsibility on the other party.
Xihua's heart was in turmoil. She didn't expect the enemy's plan to be so vicious! Although she did not participate in the countermeasures meeting at the villa, she could tell from the previous arrangements that Zhao Yingong did not put the main defense force in Cihui Hall - after all, there was nothing there.
The only things that can be looted and destroyed are tens of thousands of refugees and facilities for sleeping and eating.
She knew Cihuitang like the back of her hand. The houses were built very compactly. There would be fifty or a hundred people living in one longhouse. Most of the building materials were wood. As long as there was a kindling thrown in, the whole camp would be ablaze in an instant.
!
On weekdays, we rely on day and night inspections and severe punishments to prevent fires. When chaos breaks out, who will be able to take care of this?
When she thought of this, her blood ran cold. What to do with the hundreds of children in the kindergarten? The children were small and weak. In this chaos of the burning camp, even if they were not burned to death and smoked to death, they would be trampled alive.
Death. Not to mention that there are many children who cannot walk in the Childcare Bureau. They are all abandoned children picked up by the people of Cihui Hall and they are fed with great difficulty.
She no longer had the intention to speak, but remained silent.
"Sister, please don't worry too much. Uncle Hao said that the guards in the villa are not ordinary people. Even if they want to set a fire, it's not that easy." Jia Le saw her face pale and came to comfort her again.
"I just hope they are all safe and sound." Xihua murmured.
While they were talking, someone suddenly came in and whispered a few words to Jia Le. Jia Le's expression changed, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "I have something to do, so I'll go over there first."
Xihua was so thoughtful that he couldn't think about anything else and just nodded.
But seeing the sun rising higher and higher, her worries became more and more serious. She never expected that the things Hao Yuan was involved in would involve the safety of tens of thousands of refugees in Cihuitang!
Xihua is different from others. She has been in charge of various chores of Cihuitang in the villa. She has had a lot of contact with refugees and has a deep relationship with them. As for the hundreds of children in the kindergarten, they are not so much students, but they are all
They were like her younger brothers and sisters. Now that I heard that they were in danger, my heart was in confusion. When I felt confused, I became restless. I couldn't help but stand up and go for a walk in the courtyard to relieve the stuffy feeling in my chest.
After walking around and around the courtyard, Jia Le still did not come back. Xihua felt suspicious and quietly walked to the door of the courtyard, only to see Jia Le talking to a few strong men in the corridor of the outer courtyard.
Because she was far away and couldn't hear what they were saying specifically, she quickly took a few steps back: it was very taboo to spy on others talking, even if she didn't hear anything. Especially for someone like her who was in a delicate situation.
.
At this moment, Xihua smelled a strange smell.
She was immediately startled. This smell was very familiar to her - the smell of sulfur. There was a large amount of sulfur ointment in the Ci Hui Hall, which was specially used to treat skin diseases on newly admitted refugees.
These people smelled of sulfur. It was obvious that they were not wearing sulfur ointment, but had sulfur hidden in their bodies.
There is no other explanation for the presence of brimstone in a man than his intention to set fire to it.
Xihua couldn't help but shuddered again: "Set fire?!"
Jia Le had already said it himself that Hao Yuan would not take part in the attack on the villa, but would make a sneak attack on Wanbi Villa. Since he did not participate in the attack on the villa, there was no talk of arson.
They are going to set fire to Wanbi Bookstore!
Xihua felt like a thunderclap and almost collapsed. It turned out that Mr. Hao, whom she had always admired and trusted, was also planning to set the fire!
Wanbi Bookstore is located in the city of Hangzhou, surrounded by rows of houses and narrow streets. Wanbi Bookstore is full of books and printing ink, paper, and stereotypes. If it really burned down, it would be a disaster that would spread to thousands of families!
Compared with the methods here, the so-called "Mr. Gou" is really nothing.
In an instant, Hao Yuan's entire image became hateful, even a little ferocious. (To be continued...)
