Chapter 30 Fire
Just got everything in order.
"What does this shop do? Fortune telling? Is it real?"
A doubtful voice suddenly sounded from the door.
Hearing the sound, Yun Mojiu turned his head to look.
I saw an old lady cracking melon seeds and looking around the store curiously.
He looked up at the sign, then glanced inside the store, his eyes rolling around.
Yun Mojiu glanced at the other person's face lightly, then walked over slowly.
"Auntie, do you want to have your fortune told? One hexagram costs one thousand."
Cao Changlan waved her hands and laughed.
"No, no, no, I don't count. I just sell roast goose and roast duck in the shop next door. I saw that your new shop opened, so I came here to take a look."
Joke, one thousand!
How many roast geese and roast ducks does she have to sell to make back the profit?
She must be mentally ill to spend such money on fortune telling.
However, this does not affect her gossip at all.
"Who is the fortune teller here?"
She looked at Yun Mojiu with a smile and asked curiously.
Jian An, who was standing by, immediately introduced her, "She is Miss Yun, the owner of Shen Ji Pavilion, the fortune teller you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Cao Changlan paused in his melon seed cracking and looked surprised.
"What, you are the fortune teller?!"
She had thought Yun Mojiu was just here to help.
This is a bit too young.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a fortune teller.
Yun Mojiu naturally saw the suspicion in Cao Changlan's eyes, but she didn't care.
Looking at the other person's face, her brows furrowed slightly.
There was a faint red color in the shape of a copper coin on the opponent's forehead, which was a sign of an impending fire.
She counted secretly on her fingers.
Immediately, his eye color changed slightly.
"Auntie, there is a red talisman on your forehead. Your house will be engulfed in flames at twelve o'clock tonight. I have a fire-avoiding talisman here..."
"Hey, little girl, why are you cursing people for no reason?"
Before Yun Mojiu could finish her words, Cao Changlan gave her an unhappy look.
"Oh, you said my house is going to catch fire, so it's going to catch fire? Is that possible? Seriously, young people these days are so obsessed with making money that they resort to all sorts of crooked ways."
"I'm telling you, I, Cao Changlan, have never been cheated before, so don't try to fool me! For the sake of our future neighbors, I won't bother with you. But I still want to kindly remind you that at such a young age, find a legitimate job and don't do such wicked things as deceiving and cursing others."
After saying that, she shook her head and left disappointed.
"Hey, why is this guy..."
Jian An was so angry that she wanted to argue with the other party.
Yun Mojiu stopped him, "It's okay, this kind of thing is really hard to believe."
only...
She looked deeply at the other person's back.
By the time you believe it, it may be too late.
But, again, she said everything she needed to say.
The rest depends on one's fate.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Cao Changlan closed the shop and went home.
Her home is in an elevator community behind the store, only eight or nine minutes' walk away.
She lives on the 15th floor and currently lives with her husband, son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
When I got back, my grandson was already asleep.
My son and daughter-in-law are playing with their phones and watching TV in the living room.
"Remember to unplug the electrical appliances in the room before you go to bed later."
Before her son and daughter-in-law returned to their room, she suddenly remembered Yun Mojiu's words and quickly explained them.
Then he checked everywhere in the house, turned off the gas switch, and unplugged all electrical appliances.
After finishing, she smiled and clapped her hands.
"I wonder how this can catch fire."
At twelve o'clock in the evening, she and her husband were already asleep in bed.
While she was half asleep, she suddenly smelled a pungent burnt smell and became a little more conscious.
Then, I heard a loud noise coming from downstairs.
There seemed to be exclamations, screams, and car horns.
She was suddenly startled and sat up hurriedly.
I saw flames all over the sky outside the window, and the red flames rushed in from the open crack of the window with great dominance and entangled the curtains.
"boom!"
The curtains were set on fire and started to burn with a crackling sound!
The flames spread unrestrainedly towards the surrounding wardrobes.
Cao Changlan's eyes were filled with shock.
fire!
Her house was really on fire!
That girl was right!
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Seeing that the flames were about to reach the bed, she quickly pushed her husband who was sleeping like a dead pig and snoring.
"Get up! Get up quickly!"
“Huh~”
The husband turned over and continued to sleep.
She was anxious and angry. "Sleep, sleep, sleep, all you know is sleep. Here comes the one who will take your life!"
“Bang!”
She slapped her husband in the face.
The husband woke up instantly.
"you......"
He was just about to ask his wife why she hit him when she was sleeping so soundly, when his vision was filled with firelight in the room.
He was startled.
"Why...is it on fire?!"
"What are you standing there for? Run!"
Cao Changlan yelled, quickly got out of bed and ran out the door.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he hurried to call his son and daughter-in-law.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
She knocked on the door frantically.
"Come out! There's a fire! Wake up!"
"Bang!"
The door opened.
The son ran out in panic, holding his grandson and pulling his daughter-in-law.
Cao Changlan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pointed at the gate.
"Go, get out now!"
The family hurried towards the door.
However, when I opened the door, the corridor was full of fire.
The flames rushed towards them impatiently, as if they couldn't wait to devour them.
Cao Changlan's husband hurried to close the door.
Cao Changlan also went up to help.
The door was smoked and Cao Changlan's hands were burned red.
She gasped in pain.
Fortunately, the door closed smoothly.
"what to do?"
Cao Changlan's daughter-in-law was so scared that she burst into tears.
"Are we going to die here?"
Looking at the growing fire and the increasingly thick poisonous smoke, Cao Changlan regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
If she had known earlier, she should have listened to that girl!
But who would have thought that what she said was actually true!
The family hurriedly hid in the bathroom and wet towels to cover their mouths and noses.
At this moment, they can only wait.
Or wait for rescue.
Or wait until...death comes.
Fortunately, the firefighters arrived in time and put out the fire.
The family finally escaped death.
However, the children in the family were too young and had weak resistance. They inhaled a lot of toxic smoke and were eventually rushed to the hospital.
Early the next morning.
As soon as Yun Mojiu arrived at the store, he saw Cao Changlan wandering at the door with a big fruit basket.
As soon as he saw her, he ran over excitedly.
"Master! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the real thing. Yesterday you said my house would catch fire, and it really came true tonight! I want you to help me calculate whether my grandson will be in danger."
She looked anxious and her eyes were still red, obviously she had been crying.
