The policeman with two stars on his epaulette seemed to be a foreman. He looked at Ma Chengzhi and analyzed, saying, you walked into the chicken farm and smoked a cigarette last night. Maybe the lost cigarette butt that was not extinguished was the source of the fire. , had it not been for your own disaster, we could have taken you away as an arson suspect based on this alone.
Chengzhi, maybe the police officer's judgment is correct. Xiong Yingzi looked at him and said, If I had known this, I really shouldn't have bought you a pack of cigarettes and put them on me.
Ma Chengzhi immediately took out a box of cigarettes that he had put on his body and only smoked one. He threw it on the ground as if he was angry, and stamped his feet heavily. The box of cigarettes flattened and clung to the ground, like a It's a shameless mistake, but it can't be erased no matter what.
An old man who was a regular smoker looked at it, then looked at Ma Chengzhi, sighed, and couldn't help but say, you can't blame the smoke, you can only blame yourself.
The policeman who looked like a foreman smiled approvingly and said, You are right. For example, if you kill someone with a gun, you cannot blame the gun, but the gunman.
The old man smiled crookedly and really wanted to pick up the box of crushed cigarettes, but seeing Ma Chengzhi's depressed look and so many people present, he was too embarrassed to do it.
The chicken farm was burned to rubble and had not yet begun to recover. The depressed Xiong Yingzi returned to her parents' home in Xiongjiawan. She seemed to have been greatly wronged and cried when she saw her mother.
Her mother accompanied her, and from her tearful words, she learned that her daughter's chicken farm had suffered a fire and suffered heavy losses. Her mother had no choice but to persuade her that things had already happened and she should be more open-minded.
Having said that, no one can imagine how specific it is in the cruel reality, and Xiong Yingzi is certainly no exception. Although her parents prepared a table of delicious food for her, she was not satisfied with the food.
My mother is a person who believes in cause and effect. She looked at Yingzi and said, if something bad happened in your family, it was either Chengzhi or you who did it. I have to ask Liu Banxian in the Chenghuang Temple. He knows cause and effect.
The next day, the mother and her daughter went to Liu Banxian in the Chenghuang Temple and gave him a rooster that had just crowed as a gift.
Liu Banxian's real name is Liu Shiyan. Because he lives in a temple and has a miraculous nature of work. He can also see doctors and talk about karma and karma. People are accustomed to calling him Liu Banxian, but few people call him by his real name.
Of course, most of the people who asked him questions would address him as master in front of him. He is fifty years old, with a square face and "crossing eyes." When he glances at you, you don't feel that he is looking at you, because his gaze seems to be slanted to the other side.
There are quite a few people with cross-eyed people, and most of them are regarded as a flaw that affects a person's appearance. As for Liu Banxian, who has cross-eyed people, maybe people think that he has some supernatural powers, so they don't think it is a flaw, but think it is his. "Yin Yang Eyes".
At that moment, Liu Banxian looked at the mother and daughter sideways with his opposite eyes, then mixed half a glass of water with it and put it on the table for a while, then looked at Xiong Yingzi and said, "Did your home suffer from a fire?"
The mother and daughter were very surprised by this question. The mother asked back, "We didn't say anything about this. How did you know that my daughter's house was in a fire?"
Liu Banxian picked up the half cup of water and poured it on the ground. The splash turned into flames and burned. He said it with a smile, what else needed to be said? The water is on fire.
Master Liu, now that I know there was a fire in my house, I just want to ask you, how did the fire start? Xiong Yingzi went straight to the topic.
Liu Banxian did not answer directly. He only said, I will let you see this and you will know.
I saw him filling the empty cup with water, covering it with a piece of red cloth, chanting a spell silently over it, and then lifting the red cloth. The chicken coop of Ma Chengzhi's chicken farm appeared in the cup filled with water. In the silhouette, I could see a person appearing vaguely, sitting on an armchair, smoking and reading, and then threw the cigarette butt in the aisle free of confetti and weeds...
After the man left, another black shadow appeared, and a slender cotton thread hung from the shadow. The lower end of the cotton thread was facing the unextinguished cigarette butt, and slowly ignited the cotton thread.
The black shadow then moved to the top of the chicken coop, and the slightly ignited cotton thread ignited the grass threads on the rafter corners of the chicken coop. The flames grew from small to large, and gradually spread into a fire, burning fiercely...
When the mother and daughter saw this, Liu Banxian picked up the full glass of water and poured it into the water, causing a ball of fire to rise in the air. He gave the command "extinguish", and the flames immediately turned into steaming water and fell to the ground.
Master Liu, I just saw that the fire in my chicken farm was caused by the cigarette butt. I really regret that I shouldn’t have bought a pack of cigarettes for my guy. He couldn’t help it and went to the chicken coop aisle to smoke so late at night. , if he hadn't smoked, the fire would not have happened. It can be said that the person in my house was the culprit of the fire.
Seeing Xiong Yingzi say this, her mother held a negative opinion. She said, of course Ma Chengzhi is responsible, but do you see it clearly? The initiator of the fire was the black shadow. If it had not used cotton thread to set the house on fire, the fire would not have started and the fire would not have occurred. Because the cigarette butt dropped on the ground was almost extinguished.
If Ma Chengzhi didn't throw the unextinguished cigarette butt in the aisle, the black shadow would not light up no matter how much cotton string was hung down, so I still blame Ma Chengzhi. Xiong Yingzi looked away at Liu Banxian and said, Master Liu, do you think that's true?
Liu Banxian kept shaking his head. He said that the culprit of this fire is none other than yourself.
it's me? I shouldn't buy a pack of cigarettes for Ma Chengzhi, right?
no. You are wrong again.
The more Xiong Yingzi listened, the more confused she became and rolled her eyes. My mother was also confused. She asked calmly, Master Liu, you said she was the culprit, how could you see it?
There is an evil obstacle that has been put aside for nearly twenty years and has not been resolved until after the fire. That black shadow is the God of Fire. Liu Banxian looked at Xiong Yingzi and laughed as he said, "It has been following you for many years and has never been able to find an opportunity for revenge to make you bankrupt." I found it this time. Even if you didn't buy Ma Zhicheng a pack of cigarettes, and even if Ma Chengzhi didn't go to the chicken coop aisle to smoke that night and leave his cigarette butts unextinguished, fires would still break out in your chicken coops that night.
Xiong Yingzi listened very carefully, and she even secreted a mouthful of saliva without spitting out, as if spitting would delay or affect her ability to listen to Liu Banxian's words.
If there were no sparks, how could a fire happen? Mother interjected.
Not far from the chicken farm, at the entrance of the village, there was a pile of dried cow dung mixed with dregs that was set on fire to be used as fertilizer. It was burning and smoking that night. Although there was no open flame, there were many sparks buried in it. The god of fire had already made a plan. If there was no fire source in the chicken farm, he planned to start a fire on the cow dung fire at the entrance of the village. Wouldn't he still be able to cause a fire in the chicken coops?
Xiong Yingzi finally couldn't help but spit out the saliva in his mouth, then turned around and asked, Master Liu, I don't understand, what kind of evil obstacles exist between me and the God of Fire? Why does it keep following me and want to take revenge on me? Will it still follow me in the future?
