Chapter 224 Extinguishing the Fire
Tu Yao had never drunk alcohol, but she had seen people drink it.
There used to be a gatekeeper at the orphanage who liked to drink but could only hold his liquor.
Normally, he needs to drink half a bottle before he gets drunk.
These people... seem to have gotten drunk far too quickly.
And what about the servants? Where have they all gone?
Tu Yao frowned, stood up, and prepared to go downstairs.
I had only taken two steps when suddenly, a pungent, smoky smell wafted over!
She immediately turned her head and saw that the red silk hanging by the wall lamp on the first floor had spontaneously combusted!
Looking up, I saw wisps of smoke rising from several small windows on the second and third floors!
...
On the first floor, Mr. Cheng and all the guests were clearly shocked by the scene before them.
The red silk that had been hanging almost around the entire first floor suddenly burst into flames, like a long, continuous tongue of fire!
"What happened?! How did it catch fire?!"
The guests were all so drunk they were practically passed out, but when they encountered danger, they instinctively got up and tried to run away!
But for some reason, as soon as they stood up, their legs went weak, and one after another, they all fell back down!
Mr. Cheng finally realized that something was wrong.
He was about to shout again when the woman next to him grabbed him.
The woman seemed terrified, nestled in his arms, and said urgently, "Perhaps we should leave first!"
Looking at the ever-spreading fire, Mr. Cheng was both shocked and frightened, but he blurted out, "Why are you leaving! The eldest son already finds me annoying. If anything happens to these people at my wedding banquet, he'll skin me alive when he gets back!"
"This must be someone deliberately sabotaging us!"
But how could someone deliberately plot against a good-for-nothing old scoundrel like him?
"You go out first, I need to put out the fire quickly!"
The woman still clung to him tightly, saying, "No, don't go. I'm scared. Let's call someone for help first!"
Her voice was gentle yet tinged with a hint of fragile fear.
Mr. Cheng always fell for this trick, and sure enough, his expression began to waver.
Or...should we go out and find someone to help us?
Given this situation, it's clear that he alone isn't enough.
This family's prosperity doesn't depend on him, and they can't rely on him when trouble comes.
Cheng's father's meager sense of responsibility was like a thin layer of sand, easily blown away by a whispered word in his ear.
Just as he was about to turn and run, suddenly, a torrent of water poured over his head!
Mr. Cheng immediately turned around and saw Tu Yao at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor, dragging a water pipe that was more than ten meters long, and firing it rapidly and aimlessly as if she had a gun!
A few meters away, Tu Yao shouted with a smile, "Uncle! I'm here to put out the fire!"
Cheng's father: ...
As he dodged the water pipe, he spat several times. No, is this kid sick?
They said they were putting out a fire, but they poured most of it over their heads!
Mr. Cheng quickly grabbed his wife and dodged back and forth!
But wherever they run, the water is poured on them!
Five minutes later, she actually put out the fire on the first floor!
On the other side, the couple, soaked to the bone and exhausted from running, collapsed to the side, panting heavily.
Tu Yao ran over carrying the hose, tilted her head to look at him, and asked, "Uncle, are you alright?"
Mr. Cheng wiped his forehead, gritting his teeth: "Do I look like I'm alright?"
The woman glanced at the mess in the hall and suddenly spoke up: "Setting fire and pouring water, could this be a prank by you and Sangsang?"
Before Tu Yao could speak, Cheng's father's expression immediately changed, and he flung the woman's hand away, shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"I can't understand that brat Tu Yao, but I gave birth to Cheng Sangsang. How could I not know what she's like!"
"She finds these decorations unlucky to even look at them!"
Mr. Cheng said irritably, "None of the previous wives ever tried to sow discord between my daughter and me!"
Tu Yao was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.
Little Daddy, people are really amazing. Even though you have so many annoying aspects, you can suddenly come up with something that makes you happy.
Tu Yao thought for a moment, wondering if adding more happy moments would make those who cared about him less sad.
The woman's face flushed instantly after her thoughts were exposed, and she looked like she wanted to say something more.
Tu Yao blinked, then suddenly grabbed the half-empty wine bottle on the table, grabbed her, poured the wine down her throat, and then let go—all in one smooth motion!
"Hey!! What are you doing?"
The woman was caught completely off guard and was forced to drink a huge mouthful of alcohol!
Her face was filled with terror. She immediately clutched her throat and stared at Tu Yao in shock!
A short while later, her eyes also began to glaze over, and she collapsed weakly to one side.
Mr. Cheng was clearly taken aback by this.
"Tu...Tu Yao! What are you doing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Yao suddenly looked up and gave him a sinister smile.
She said softly, "...Uncle, you're the only one who's awake now."
Cheng's father: ? ? ?
A chill ran down Cheng's spine, and his eyes widened in shock.
What does that mean?!
What do you mean... only he is conscious?
He backed away repeatedly: "...So you really did it?!"
Tu Yao was still smiling, carrying a water pipe in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, walking towards him step by step.
Mr. Cheng trembled, "You...you...what do you want to do? Don't do anything rash!"
He tried to appeal to emotions: "...I was practically your father before, you..."
"Although I wasn't very good to you back then, at least I made sure you had enough to eat and drink!"
"What kind of monster are you? How could you survive falling into the sea and then put out fires and start fires?!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Yao stopped in her tracks instantly.
Falling into the sea?
She vaguely remembered that Cheng's father looked just as terrified when he saw her that night.
So, in his memory, did the original body fall into the sea and die?
How did she end up in Crane Village?
Back then, with my father so weak, could he still transfer the original body from Hong Kong to Crane Village?
Tu Yao hesitated for only a second before choosing to temporarily put these confusions aside and continued walking over with a smile.
"Since Uncle is conscious..."
Two meters, one meter, half a meter...
As Tu Yao drew closer, Cheng's father was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell over.
It's all over, it ......
But just as he was about to fall, Tu Yao caught him steadily!
They shoved handfuls of water pipe ends into his hands.
Mr. Cheng was taken aback.
The next second, the girl's serious voice rang out.
"Uncle, come on! Let's go save the world together!"
Cheng's father: ? ? ? ?
...
In the outdoor lounge, Xu Bai handed over his phone, but there was no response from the other end.
He quickly looked up and saw Cheng Sangsang staring at him with red eyes.
Xu Bai was taken aback. "Wh...what's wrong? Little Curly, why are you crying?"
"I...I was just kidding, I was just trying to scare them, don't cry!"
Xu Bai stammered an explanation in his haste, and was about to continue when suddenly a warm hand covered the back of his hand!
Xu Bai froze instantly.
"Little...Little Curly Hair?"
