Chapter 678 Living fossil?
"Walk the water, run the water~~!!!" At midnight, a burst of anxious voice spread from not far away, and suddenly gongs and drums shook the sky, and people started running out from house to house, some putting out fires and some watching the excitement.
.
Although there are many foreigners here, the population base of Chinese is here, so most of the people rushing out are Chinese.
Yang Xuan's sixth sense was quite keen. In addition, there was so much smoke outside. Yang Xuan opened his eyes and walked to the window sill. No, the fire was a bit strong, and it was also very strange. It didn't seem like he was living there.
A fire in a house looks like a fire in a shop.
Suddenly, Yang Xuan rubbed his eyes. Damn it, no wonder it looked familiar. Isn't this Zai Min's tailor shop? He casually grabbed it, put on his pajamas, and jumped out of the window.
After landing, I ran all the way and ran to the door of the store in a few seconds. I was dying. The store was fine during the day, but why did I become such a bad person now?
"Not good!" Yang Xuan then realized. Zai Min said that he rarely went home and lived in the shop.
Yang Xuan kicked open the door full of flames and rushed in quickly. After failing to find Zai Min on the first floor, he immediately rushed to the second floor. The store was actually very big, but Yang Xuan couldn't find anyone upstairs.
Never came up.
Sure enough, at the back of the second floor, Zai Min was found fainted from the smoke. Judging from his figure, he must have discovered a fire. He went to get the washbasin, but he fainted and the washbasin was knocked over. He was only wearing a
Got a bellyband.
After taking out a random piece of clothing from the storage space and putting it on Zai Min, he quickly ran outside because Yang Xuan sensed that there were no living things in the store.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Yang Xuan carried Zai Min back to the living room of the hotel room. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the smoke from the fireworks was too strong, and Zai Min's whole body smelled like burning.
After hitting Zai Min's Qi Sea several times, Zai Min woke up not long after.
"Ahem~!!" As soon as Zai Min woke up, he was coughing and out of breath. It seemed that he must have been exhausted by the smoke.
"Ahem~~, cough, why is it you?" Zai Min coughed while looking at Yang Xuan, with a blank look in his eyes, obviously not knowing what happened.
"Ah! Yang Xuan, you're in trouble, you're in trouble~~!" After being stunned for a few times, Zai Min yelled crazily and even
He kept tugging at Yang Xuan's clothes.
"Okay, okay, I've rescued you. It's okay."
After being comforted by Yang Xuan for a while, Zai Min took stock of the bad situation around him, "Yang Xuan, were you the one who saved me? Is my shop in trouble? Did you see the two tailor masters when you rescued me?
ah."
Yang Xuan shook his head and sighed, "I only care about rescuing you, but there seems to be no one alive in your shop. If there is a tailor here, I guess..."
You don’t need to say much to know what it means.
After leaving the hotel, Zai Min ran frantically towards the store. After a period of fighting the fire, the fire was effectively controlled.
It’s just that the shops have basically been destroyed, and there are ruins everywhere. Although cement bricks are more popular in this era, there are still many shops and houses built with wood. The wind helps the fire, and the shops are swallowed up in minutes.
Empty.
Looking at the tragic scene after the fire, Zai Min collapsed to the ground, with only despair in his eyes. As the saying goes, thieves steal half, fire burns everything. Water and fire are merciless. Even a huge fortune may be wiped out in an instant.
"It seems that someone set a fire." Yang Xuan walked around the store twice and felt that the source of the fire should be outside. The first place where the fire caught fire was that even the stone slabs on the ground were burned and cracked. On the contrary, it was
Internal fires are slightly better.
"Why, why, I never have grudges with others, who is it that wants to kill me?" Zai Min sobbed, holding her chest tightly with her hands, not at all as mature as when she just met Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan, a straight man, hated seeing a woman sad the most, and she was the woman he had a crush on.
The only thing left to do next was to clean up the shop. The shop had been almost burned, and even if it hadn't been burned down, it would still be uninhabitable. The patrol police and the fire brigade also rushed over and began to investigate the matter.
"I know who set the fire." Zai Min said bitterly when Yang Xuan came into the hotel.
I had no thoughts at first, but when I saw some familiar faces in the crowd, I immediately understood the context of the entire fire incident.
All the girls were sitting in the living room. Yang Xuan leaned on the sofa and said directly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
But Zai Min didn't say anything, covered his face with his hands and started crying.
stand up.
"Sister, tell me, who set the fire? Where are your family members?" Taozi was really too curious about this matter. What a grudge to deal with someone like this.
After sobbing for a while, Zai Min told the whole story. He had a prominent status, but he could not see the light. After marrying away from the devil's capital, her husband had become inhumane because of his opium addiction. He was also fond of gambling, and the family's property was also ruined.
Almost lost.
There is still a big house in the capital. Unfortunately, the house has been occupied by relatives from my husband's family. Now the house is being harassed every day, and the ground is not working properly. I still can't return to my home.
"It was the person behind the group who collected the debt last time who started the fire, right?" Yang Xuan quickly understood the true story from between the lines of Zai Min's words.
It's just that the leader of the gang knows Zai Min's identity and wants to marry Zai Min, so that by virtue of his status, he can squeeze into the upper class of society from the ranks of grassroots bandits.
"What is your identity? Since we are all so familiar with each other, you might as well be honest~~~" Yang Xuan was also very curious, but he said it more tactfully.
"Alas~~~The Qing Dynasty fell, and the last emperor was Puyi. Then you should know that Puyi's aunt was Zaifeng, right?"
As soon as Zai Min said this, everyone was stunned. Natasha was also shocked. A top student who has stayed in China for so long still understands the history of the Qing Dynasty. It's impossible. There is no Zai Min in history.
There is absolutely no such person in human beings, not only in history, but also in unofficial history.
"Holy shit, it's a living fossil~~!"
"Dong~~~" Yang Xuan gave Taozi a chestnut. The child really couldn't speak.
In this way, things can be explained. The identity of the old and orphans of the Qing Dynasty can still play a role in some aspects.
Yang Xuan was secretly a little scared. How many truths have been covered up by history, how many truths have been tampered with over time and changed beyond recognition. Maybe the history we know may not be true.
In just an ordinary world, you can casually meet people who have no records in history. It seems that in the future, whether it is about the historical plane, science fiction, or fantasy plane, you have to be careful. Someone who does not belong to the plane might pop up.
