He opened a bag on his back. There was also a wooden box inside, but it was dozens of times bigger than the small box.

 

Ying put all the books and account books into the wooden box, but kept the small red sandalwood box in his arms.

After doing all this, he pushed the candle on the table over and watched as the burning flame gradually spread and swallowed the entire desk.

The strong smell of blood in the room couldn’t cover up the smell of sulfur. As long as the fire spread to the place where the gunpowder was scattered, the restaurant filled with the smell of death would explode into the most brilliant and enthusiastic fireworks of the night.

Ah Ying looked around the room again, but he did not look at the body behind the desk. Then, he jumped out of the window, glided like a ROC with its wings spread, and disappeared into the night.

 

“Hey, look, why is the sky over there red?”

The bell at midnight had already rung, and the cheering crowd had begun to disperse. At this time, someone found that the sky in the south of the city had turned red.

Following the direction of his finger, some people noticed thick smoke rising. It didn’t look like fireworks, but more like a fire somewhere.

“11 can’t De water, rigntf Tne smell 01 smoKe IS so strong!”

 

“It’s running out of water. Quickly call for help!”

More and more people realized that something was wrong. The joy of the celebration was suddenly washed away by the tense atmosphere. Everyone shouted and ran, wanting to quickly put out the fire.

Every year, there would be incidents of fireworks and water leakage. By right, such a large-scale fire should have already alarmed the government’s fire brigade, but no one from the fire brigade appeared even after the people shouted for a long time.

Just as the commoners took the buckets and basins and were ready to put out the fire, they suddenly heard a loud “boom”. The earth seemed to be shaking. This was not the end. There were continuous explosions and flying pieces of wood and gravel. Some of the commoners who were already very close were hit and fell to the ground, bleeding.

Suddenly, screams and wails filled the air. The rest of the people were busy avoiding the flying gravel and dragging the injured away.

It was not until the explosion ended that someone dared to come and treat the wounded. As for the building that had been blown up, it had long been blown to pieces, leaving only some remnants of the wooden frame that was still burning.

 

The bloody case on the new year’s night was not an isolated case. In the next few days, similar cases happened in several cities, and the victims were all branches of the same restaurant. For a time, rumors about who the restaurant had offended were rampant.

Because there were always explosions and fire, and countless burnt bones were found in the remains of the building, the bloody horror of this serial case diluted the happy and peaceful atmosphere of the new year. The people in the city where the case happened and the nearby cities were all in a panic, afraid that such bad luck would befall them.

It was strange to say that these explosions would affect some innocent people without exception. Whether they were injured or their homes were destroyed, they all received silver notes of different denominations in the next few days.

It was like the compensation given by the vicious murderer, and the amount of compensation for each family was at least a dozen or a few dozen taels, and at most a hundred taels. It was also different according to the situation of each family.

For a moment, no one knew whether the murderer was crazy or humane.

The local authorities were the most troubled. They couldn’t find any useful clues from the scene of the case, and they didn’t even have a direction to start the investigation. They put up a huge reward for clues and insiders before mysteriously disappearing. No one dared to take the initiative to come to them and provide clues. The investigation of the case was like a clay ox entering the sea. It was completely in a deadlock.

MO Ruyue only found out about the rumors of this murder case after she returned to the Bai manor to continue her treatment. However, on the morning of the first day of the new year, when she still didn’t know anything about it, she went into the mountains to visit her old friends according to her plan.

“Da Bao, if anyone comes to visit us for the new year, please take care of them. We’ll serve them tea and snacks. There’s no need to distinguish between close and distant relatives.”

MO Ruyue warned Da Bao before she left.

“I know, Mother. You must be careful when you enter the mountain. Come back early.”

Da Bao was now used to MO Ruyue’s frequent visits to the mountains, and she did not come back with prey and herbs every time. Obviously, she had another purpose in the mountains.

However, he would not ask for a reason now. He would only remind her and wait for her to come back.

After what happened at Aunt Liu’s house last night, MO Ruyue was now completely at ease with Da Bao’s ability to deal with the ways of the world. He would definitely “entertain” the villagers who would come to visit him for the new year.

So after being intimate with the rest of the babies, MO Ruyue turned around and went straight to the back mountain.

Ever since the wolf pack was attacked, they had completely abandoned the cave they used to live in and moved to the valley of treasures.

After MO Ruyue entered the mountain, she went straight to the valley of treasures. About a hundred meters away from the valley, she detected the existence of the sentinel wolves.

She stopped and turned to look at the bushes beside her. Sure enough, she saw two giant wolves with their heads lowered, their tails wagging slightly, and whimpers coming out of their throats.

“Hey, I’m happy to see you guys too.”

MO Ruyue bent down and opened her arms to welcome the two giant wolves, affectionately greeting them.

One of the giant wolves bit MO Ruyue’s sleeve and dragged her in the direction of the valley of treasures, as if it couldn’t wait for her to go to the valley as a guest.

Ever since she found out that the giant wolves seemed to be closer to the man in black, it would be a lie to say that she wasn’t disappointed. But now, it seemed that the giant wolves still trusted and were close to her, which made her feel a little relieved.

 

“Alright, I’ll go over by myself. You guys continue to keep watch.”

MO Ruyue patted the head of the giant wolf that was biting her sleeve, then continued to walk towards the valley of treasures.

Along the way, there were two hidden sentries. Every time she passed by one, a sentry wolf would drag her in the direction of the valley, as if afraid that she would leave. MO Ruyue keenly sensed that something was wrong.

This didn’t seem like a simple welcome to her visit. There seemed to be something else.

She immediately quickened her pace and entered the valley. This time, the black wolf king came out to welcome her in person. “Alright, what happened?”

MO Ruyue directly asked the black wolf king.

The black wolf king licked the back of her hand, then turned around and walked into the depths of the valley.

She and the black wolf king walked through the entire valley together and came to the opposite cliff.

Previously, MO Ruyue had walked around the entire valley to pick herbs. She knew that this was a crater similar to a meteorite impact. The entire valley only had one entrance.

However, under the black wolf king’s lead, MO Ruvue suddenlv found another triangular hole that looked like an entrance.

She squinted at the entrance, then suddenly turned her head and looked behind her. She stretched out her hand and compared it to the entrance on the opposite side, as if she was measuring something..
