Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: Natural Disaster? Human Calamity? 4
“That Zhaodi! When I get back, I’ll cripple him!” A flash of malice glinted in the Boss’s eyes.
“Boss, does this an we ca for nothing? And spent all that money on fares and expenses? Are we just going to leave without doing anything?” Third Brother looked unwilling, “Why don’t we see if there’s anything valuable in this house we can steal before we go? That cripple’s sister seems to have a good relationship with foreigners, she must have money, and Zhaodi also said this family could easily co up with fifty or a hundred thousand, so they must have stashed a lot of good stuff at ho.”
Second Brother nodded. In their view, anyone who had dealings with foreigners was definitely capable. To them, foreigners equaled wealthy people, and wealthy people equaled power and influence. These were the type of people they didn’t dare to provoke, just like last ti, when the cripple was taken away and almost got them jailed.
The dissatisfaction felt by Third Brother was no different from that of the Boss and Second Brother. Ever since the cripple was taken, their gang fell apart, and they still harbor deep resentnt to this day.
“Boss, why don’t we just set fire to kill off the old man and the cripple? It’s the middle of the night, who would know we were here? No one would see, they can’t trace it back to us. Killing them would relieve our anger! Otherwise, they’d really take us for pushovers! If it weren’t for them, we’d still be living the good life!” Third Brother spoke bluntly, pulling out a lighter from his pocket, and gestured to the dry firewood surrounding the yard, “Just right, the whole yard is full of firewood and this house is all wood. Once it’s set on fire, it’ll be gone in a flash.”
“Let’s go with Third Brother’s plan! Let’s do it! Boss, I can’t swallow this anger down! Kill these two, and when we get back, we’ll make Zhaodi pay! Dared to trick us, making us waste our ti and money. If I hadn’t recognized the people earlier, we would have kidnapped the wrong ones and definitely been caught!” Second Brother said with indignation, then quietly started moving bits of firewood to the doorway of the house.
Seeing Second Brother moving, Third Brother followed suit. The Boss watched for a while but did not stop them. He joined in, too. The three of them were nimble, ruthless, and malicious. After dumping the wood by the door, they deliberately blocked it, preventing anyone from opening the door. Once they finished, they sared cooking oil from the kitchen on both room doors before lighting the fire, and then hurriedly fled the yard without even shutting the gate as they ran.
As the three expected, both Father He and He Da, exhausted from a whole day of labor in the fields, slept soundly at night. Farrs generally work hard during the day and sleep deeply at night, failing to wake even if firecrackers exploded in the yard.
At first, the fire wasn’t strong, but the night breeze gently fanned it, causing the small flas to grow larger and spread like wildfire.
The house, a century old, was entirely made of wood, and once the fire took hold, it beca unmanageable. It wasn’t until the flas were so large they illuminated the sky that the people inside the two rooms woke up from the smoke. Father He imdiately got out of bed to open the door, only to find it blocked by sothing outside that wouldn’t budge. Looking out the window, he was terrified to see a sea of flas before him.
