Chapter 32 Repayment of Old Debts

"Guest, I tell you that all the good mountain goods are in my house, and it's better not to look at other families. You have everything you want to choose, and the price is easy to discuss." Only then did Mrs. Hu happily took the key, opened the warehouse to pick up the mountain goods.

An Yi followed her in, quietly opened the window latch while she was not prepared. After repeatedly confirming that all the valuable mountain goods in the Hu family were here, she picked up the mountain goods carefully, walked into the kitchen and looked at the position of the jar where the oil was placed.

During dinner, An Yi first toasted Old Man Hu and Mrs. Hu for several glasses of wine, and then smiled and advised Zhou Jingang and others: "I will go back tomorrow, so it's better to drink less wine."

Zhou Jingang doesn't care. He is a person who treats wine as water. It's okay if An Yi doesn't say it. After saying that, he simply picked up the wine and brought Old Man Hu, Old Caitou and others half drunk. Chen Zhishan listened to the advice and stopped shortly. He pulled An Yi to the side and whispered: "Old Caitou agreed, saying that he would go to inquire for us tomorrow morning and prepare incense, candles and paper money. But we have to go quietly and not let the Hu family know, otherwise he would not care about being beaten. The Hu woman and Hu Sanlai and his son are famous rogues."

"You tell him that as long as you tell us the land and give us the incense, candles and paper money, everything else has nothing to do with him." As expected, An Yi did not plan to finish everything this time. Before the time was right, she was not strong enough.

At the fifth hour, it was the time when people slept the most well, and it was also the darkest and quietest moment in the world. An Yi quietly got up, tied her bag that contained her clothes and the five-clawed golden dragon tightly on her body, poured some water into the doorway, opened the door quietly, walked to the yard and closed her eyes, took a deep breath, the morning breeze was cold and quiet, and her already very awake brain calmed down a little.

She measured her position and walked straight towards the kitchen. Even if she couldn't see her five fingers, it didn't affect her sense of direction at all. She was so familiar with this house that she could accurately find the place she wanted to go with her eyes closed.

The black dog curled up in the corner of the wall and found that it was her, and she didn't dare to say anything. An Yi easily found the oil jar, walked to the warehouse and pushed open the window, and poured all the oil into it. After putting the oil jar back to its original place, she walked to the warehouse, gently flint, and threw it into the window. The flames met the dry mountain goods soaked in oil, and suddenly rose up.

When the black dog saw the fire, he instinctively wanted to yell. When he met An Yi's cold gaze, he calmed down again and shrank into the corner of the wall in fear. An Yi walked over and reached out to grab it gently, and whispered: "Don't yell, otherwise I'll peel you and make dog meat soup."

The black dog understood her words, opened her eyes wide in fear, lay silently on the ground, and watched An Yi enter the house motionlessly.

A wind blew from the mountains and blew into the Hu family's yard, blowing the flames more and more vigorously. In less than a quarter of an hour, the flames soared into the sky rose from the warehouse where the mountain goods were piled up and spread quickly to other rooms. The first thing to be affected was the room where the Hu Mazi and the Old Man Hu lived next door.

An Yi sat quietly on the small bed, waiting quietly.

When she first came to the Hu family, the Hu family was like other villagers, just two thatched huts, and a dog was so hungry that it was staggering when walking. Old man Hu collected herbs, the Hu woman sneaked into a dog, Hu Sanlai bullied men and women, and even the candy in the mouth of a child could be shameless. Because of her, Hu Sanlai not only got a lot of money from that person, but also got all the clothes and jewelry on her body. Hu Tianhai spent a lot of money, built this house, and with this family business, he became the richest family in the weeds.

But she was not as good as a maid, and she was not as good as a maid. She could not eat enough to wear and wear warmth. She worked hard day and night. She picked firewood on the mountain to collect herbs and delicacies. She washed and cooked clothes at home to serve his family. She was a little unsatisfied and beaten, called and drank, humiliated and destroyed. Even the black dogs at home dared to bully her. No one dared to talk to her when she went out. When an outsider entered the mountain, she locked her into the woodshed. It was common for her to not eat or drink for a few days. She was smart and endured, and finally prepared a trap. The five-clawed golden dragon and the path was too strong, and she was in their hands.

Now she just took back what they got from her. As for the humiliation and beatings Hu, she will keep them for the time being. One day, she will collect interest again. Old Man Hu? People in the world say that he is honest and counts all the evils on Hu Pozi and Hu Sanlai, but no one remembers that it is such an honest man. He has never stopped his wife and children from doing evil. He has watched them beat, bully and torture her, and enjoyed the wealth that came from her with peace of mind. He saw her fainting from hunger and cold, never gave her a sip of water or food, and never said a word for her when she was bleeding in front of her.

Could it be that they have a grudge? Or should she be punished like this after she did something evil? None of them. This family is not a good person, and she will die for the sake of death.

The fire became brighter and the smoke became thicker. The crackling sound of the hot wood was mixed with the sharp cry of Mrs. Hu: "Help, it's on fire, help..."

Almost all, An Yi got up and went out. She first smashed Chen Zhishan and Chen Xi’s door with force, called him to get up, and then turned around and shouted Zhou Jingang and others: “Uncle Zhou, get up quickly! It’s on fire!”

"Get up and save people!" Zhou Jingang heard An Yi calling herself in her sleep. When she woke up, she found that the fire was rising from the window and the heat waves were rushing. She jumped up in fear and quickly grabbed the knife next to her pillow, signaling the two personal soldiers to grab their luggage and weapons to follow him. The first thing she did when she went out was to run towards An Yi's room first, but she saw An Yi carrying her small package tightly. While slapped Chen Zhishan and Chen Xi's door, she turned her head and shouted loudly in his direction that he and Lao Cai got up quickly.

Seeing Chen Zhishan, Chen Xi, Lao Caitou and others running out, the Hu family also jumped around in the yard and shouted. Zhou Jingang breathed a sigh of relief, pulled An Yi to protect her, and signaled to her followers: "Go and see the horses and donkeys we rode, otherwise we would have to walk back."

Old man Hu scooped water from the water tank and poured it on the fire. Mrs. Hu was burned to death with half of her hair, with her arms open and her chest exposed, and she burst into tears and rushed over and grabbed Zhou Jingang's arm tightly, begging, "Customer, please help! The property is all inside, and it's burned, but how can we live?"

Just as Zhou Jingang was about to respond, An Yi next to him suddenly screamed and fell down softly. Zhou Jingang didn't care about anything else and quickly carried An Yi to a safe place and called Chen Zhishan to come and help.
