Chapter 23 A Hero Saves a Beauty
Chapter 23 Heroes Save the Beauty
The next day, Hao Shuai got up and went to Baozhilin for breakfast.
"Master, Brother, good morning!" When he walked to the dining room, Huang Feihong and others had already gotten up and sat at the dining table to eat breakfast. Hao Shuai served himself a bowl of porridge and went to the dining table to eat.
"Master, we found out that the people from the Shahe Gang are going to Datong Restaurant to pick up the God of Wealth this morning." A brother from the militia strode in and said to Huang Feihong with a fist.
Pick up the God of Wealth, this is a kind of jargon for gangs to collect protection fees.
"Well, okay, I'll leave later." Huang Feihong nodded, picked up the porridge in the bowl and drank it in one gulp, then walked back to the room to prepare.
Seeing Huang Feihong preparing, Hao Shuai continued to eat his breakfast. Knowing the plot, he didn't intend to follow and suffer. Only by giving Huang Feihong a greater stimulus would he slowly change his mind.
When Hao Shuai finished breakfast and was ready to practice martial arts, he saw Huang Feihong dressed in a long gown, wearing a pair of brown sunglasses, a Western flat-top prototype hat on his head, and holding an umbrella and slowly walked into the front hall.
Hao Shuai looked at Huang Feihong's outfit and knew that Huang Feihong had begun to slowly accept Western things in his heart.
Seeing Huang Feihong excitedly go out, Hao Shuai knew that what awaited him would be a disappointment.
...
Sure enough, Huang Feihong returned to Baozhilin in the evening.
Seeing Huang Feihong coming back, Thirteenth Aunt and Hao Shuai and others quickly surrounded him and asked about today's situation with concern.
"I caught the boss of the suspected Shahe Gang in the restaurant, but no one in the entire restaurant and the neighborhood was willing to go to the government office to testify, so I had to catch him and take him to the government office myself, but the government office said that I was a suspect myself and had no right to be a witness. Instead, the man surnamed He from the Shahe Gang was released." Sitting down a little dejectedly, Huang Feihong took a puff of the hookah.
"When will the militia be released?" Zhu Rourong asked.
"Until someone testifies." Huang Feihong sighed.
"Master, then find Liang Kuan!" Could it be that Zhu Rourong was smart for once?
"Liang Kuan, do you know him? You must be involved in this, what are you hiding from me?" Huang Feihong knew there was something wrong as soon as he heard it.
"I... I..., Master, you don't believe me at all, so I..." Zhu Rourong was so scared that he knelt on the ground and stammered.
...
When everyone in Baozhilin was discussing the militia, nearly eight or nine people carrying bows and arrows soaked in kerosene, holding some flammable firewood and other things, wearing black night clothes and even covering their faces with black cloth appeared at the end of the alley outside Baozhilin.
With this outfit, you can tell without asking that they are definitely not here to do good things!
"Brother, brother!"
"What should we do next?"
"Baozhilin is right here, what should we do?"
...
Listening to the younger brothers' questions, Boss Hong waved his hand and said fiercely: "Everyone get ready, light the fire!"
Pouring kerosene all over the gate of Baozhilin, Boss Hong threw a torch directly over.
Boom!
The fire started "whoosh--" and soon spread to the entire gate of Baozhilin with the kerosene.
"Prepare the bows and arrows!"
Taking the bows behind them, Boss Hong and the Shahe Gang took the rockets one by one. Seeing how skilled they were, I think they often did such murders and arson.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! －－－－－
Countless rockets and fire pots flew in from above the gate and the yard. At this time, the houses were still built of wood, and the whole Baozhilin was immediately engulfed in a sea of fire.
At this time, everyone in Baozhilin also discovered the fire. "Master, you go catch the arsonist, we will put out the fire." Hearing Hao Shuai's words, Huang Feihong took an umbrella and jumped directly to the roof in three or two steps, ready to go out from the roof to catch people.
However, the people of Shahe Gang found that Huang Feihong on the roof was shooting rockets at him non-stop, which greatly hindered Huang Feihong's pace.
"It's Huang Feihong!"
"Go!"
"Run!"
When Huang Feihong finally caught up with them, he was immediately scared like a grandson. , got on the horse and ran away immediately.
...
When Huang Feihong went out to catch the arsonist, Hao Shuai organized Zhu Rourong and others to start putting out the fire, but as the fire grew bigger and bigger, it would be a miracle if only Hao Shuai and a few others could put it out. They could only grab some valuables.
Just as everyone was rushing to move things, Thirteenth Aunt suddenly shouted: "My camera is still in the room." After saying that, without waiting for Hao Shuai and others to reply, she ran into the burning wing room.
"I'll go in and find Aunt Thirteen, you guys continue to rescue things." After Hao Shuai finished speaking, he set up a layer of telekinesis on his body and ran into the wing room.
When Hao Shuai rushed into the wing room, he saw Aunt Thirteen holding her camera and spinning anxiously.
Hao Shuai came directly in front of Aunt Thirteen, and when he was about to wrap Aunt Thirteen with telekinesis, Hao Shuai thought of the fact that his relationship with Aunt Thirteen had not made any progress, and an idea came to his mind, planning to be a hero saving a beauty.
Since ancient times, the hero saving a beauty is the same old routine as directly throwing money, but although the routine is old, it does not prevent it from being effective!
And the younger the girl, the more she will fall for this routine. If the hero is handsome, young, rich, and wealthy, then the success rate can basically reach 100%.
Haven't you seen novels and TV dramas where every time the hero saves the beauty, the beauty will say: I have nothing to repay you, so I can only promise you my body!
So, Hao Shuai, who had made up his mind, protected Aunt Thirteen and rushed out. When he was about to reach the door, he used telekinesis to pull a burning pillar from the roof and smashed it down on the two of them.
"Shaojun, be careful!" Hao Shuai hugged Aunt Thirteen and protected her under his body, facing his back to the beam that was falling.
When the beam hit his back, Hao Shuai quickly moved the blood in his body and forced a mouthful of blood, spraying it directly on Aunt Thirteen's face. At the same time, he thought to himself: Aunt Thirteen, I have shed so much blood for you this time, I don't believe you are not moved.
"A Shuai, are you okay?" Aunt Thirteen cried and hugged Hao Shuai.
"I'm fine, let's go out quickly." Hao Shuai endured the burning pain in his back and ran outside to protect Aunt Thirteen.
"A Su, come quickly, A Shuai is injured." As soon as Hao Shuai and the others got outside, Aunt Thirteen called Zhu Rourong and others.
Zhu Rourong and his friends heard Aunt Thirteen's call and immediately surrounded him. Seeing the bloody back of Hao Shuai, they all expressed their concern for Hao Shuai's injury.
While everyone was concerned about Hao Shuai, Huang Feihong also came back. Unfortunately, because the arsonist was riding a horse, Huang Feihong could not catch up with them.
At this time, Admiral Zheng also came to the scene.
Huang Feihong asked Aunt Thirteen and Ling Yunkai to send Hao Shuai home to recover first, and he stayed to deal with Zheng.
Just as Huang Feihong and Zheng were arguing, a priest came in. He came to testify for Huang Feihong. With the priest's testimony, Zheng could only agree to arrest the people of Shahe Gang.
After sending Zheng away, because Baozhilin was burned, it was temporarily impossible to live there, so everyone could only come to Hao Shuai's house next door to settle down.
……
In Hao Shuai's room, Hao Shuai was lying on the bed with his back bare. Huang Feihong felt his pulse, looked at his back and said, "Fortunately, the injury is not serious. The injury on the back can be cured by applying medicine regularly. It will heal after a few days of rest."
Hearing Huang Feihong's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Thirteen stepped forward and said to Hao Shuai, "A Shuai, thank you for saving me. It's all my fault. If I hadn't run back to get the camera, you wouldn't have been injured."
"Shaojun, don't feel guilty. My injury is nothing. It will heal in a few days. Everyone has been busy all night. Go and rest!" Hao Shuai said to everyone after comforting Aunt Thirteen.
Huang Feihong and his friends were tired after working all night. Seeing that Hao Shuai was fine, they found their own rooms to rest.
……
It is said that Admiral Zheng ordered the yamen runners to arrest the people of Shahe Gang overnight. Seeing that the situation was serious, the Shahe Gang finally took their gang members to seek refuge with the American businessman Jackson and expressed their willingness to help Jackson traffic women to the United States as mistresses.
…
Days passed, and while Hao Shuai was recovering from his injury, Hao Shuai paid for the renovation of Bao Zhilin. Huang Feihong refused at first, but was finally persuaded. Thirteenth Aunt would come over to help Hao Shuai change the medicine every day, and their relationship quickly warmed up. After all, a man and a woman were living in the same room, and one of them was the lifesaver of the other.
