Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Chapter 222: Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse

Three days later, at the end of January.

It was time to settle the points again, and Alpha's cold, robotic voice rang out.

[Music +2]

【力量: 37|速度: 38|敏捷: 24|智力: 28|体质: 25|魅力: 33|野心: 87|音乐: 12|舞蹈: 12|演技:9|未解锁状态】

Is the added point for music this time?

Bo Bing was somewhat disappointed.

The music attribute bonus can only provide him with limited benefits at the moment, but fortunately the skills and titles awarded this month are quite good.

【Jia Ma Paper - Divine Speed】Uses the power of nature to accelerate the journey. Hand-drawing time: 1 minute; Cooldown time: 1 day.

[Acquire Title: Swift Traveler] This title is obtained by equipping the [Jia Ma Paper - Swift Traveler]. Once activated, the host's leg strength increases by 10%, running speed increases by 4%, and physical fatigue decreases by 1% per kilometer. The effect can stack up to 50 times, and the duration is determined by the host's constitution.

Bo Bing knew about the Swift Traveler, as it was mentioned in the novel *Water Margin*. The Swift Traveler Dai Zong could travel 800 li a day after being bound with a magic horse. It was only described in the novel, but he didn't expect Alpha to directly grant him this skill.

The "Divine Travel Talisman," also known as the "Divine Travel Talisman," is a type of talisman specifically designed for traveling. It involves drawing specific symbols into a spell, binding it to the leg, and then silently reciting the corresponding incantation to achieve the magical effect of summoning the power of nature to travel quickly.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the talismans of the Shenxing school, Jiama also has many other uses such as praying for blessings and rain, all of which use the power of a medium to achieve the effect of harmony between heaven, earth and man.

Today they were going back to their hometown, and Li Yumei started packing her luggage. Bo Yuntian and Li Yuan were helping her, and Bo Bing naturally couldn't be idle.

A woman's intuition is very accurate.

Within just a few days, Zheng Yuxiu was reported and temporarily detained. Apart from Bo Bing, no one knew about this news. However, mother and daughter are connected by heart, and Li Yuan seemed to sense something and became uneasy.

"Xiao Bing, are you going back to see your grandfather?"

Li Yumei placed a backpack in the trunk of Li Feng's Wuling van, turned around, and cautiously asked the young man in a low voice, "Is there still no news about your father? Is he coming back for the New Year this year?"

Frankly speaking, whether Bo Xiaolong is dead or alive has absolutely no impact on young people.

He's not his biological father.

Bo Bing now wished that this guy would die somewhere and never appear in front of him again. If this guy hadn't gone crazy and acted recklessly, the original owner wouldn't have drowned in the washbasin in winter. Even though this was the opportunity for his rebirth, he still couldn't accept it with a clear conscience.

"No news. Whether he's dead or alive, we don't need to worry about him."

Bo Bing helped Li Yunmei close the trunk door. "I'll go back with you for a bit, and I'll come back after things are settled with Aunt Yuxiu."

Li Yumei whispered, "Tell your aunt the truth, has the third son really gotten into some trouble?"

Bo Bing narrowed her eyes, but this matter couldn't be kept secret no matter how hard she tried.

He gave a vague account of Li Dai and Zheng Yuxiu being targeted, but stated directly that his main purpose in going with them was to help protect Li Yuan.

With Zhou Tao and his underlings keeping an eye on Li Dai's side for the time being, plus the people left behind by Lord Yin Feng to keep watch, nothing should happen for the time being; as for Zheng Yuxiu's matter, it's most likely that Zhi Yu was behind it, and the desperate guy is starting to drag others down with him.

Judging from the situation, Zhi Yu also knows that his chances of winning are slim.

To resist stubbornly.

No matter what, this matter will eventually come to an end.

“Aunt Li, don’t worry, things here will be over soon,” Bo Bing said, leaning against the car, her breath steaming in the air. “My uncle and aunt will be fine soon.”

Seeing his certainty, Li Yumei felt relieved.

Li Feng invited the group to get in the car. The gray Wuling Hongguang, loaded with people and goods, returned to the village. Along the way, people returning from working in the city would greet Li Yumei from time to time.

The house, which had been uninhabited for a long time, was covered in dust and cobwebs, so a thorough cleaning was done as soon as you entered.

Bo Bing examined the dust on the ground and, after confirming that Bo Xiaolong had indeed not returned to the courtyard, the young man frowned slightly.

But this did not affect his cleaning actions.

The wire clothesline in the yard was covered with quilts from the kang (a heated brick bed). Bo Yuntian was squinting, holding a small broom from the bed, and fiercely beating the cotton quilts that hadn't seen the sun for a long time, hoping they would become soft under the midday sun.

In the large courtyard, one could vaguely see overgrown weeds and cultivated fields. Next to it, a pot of water sat on a silver solar cooker, its rusty iron base glowing red in the sunlight.

Two little girls, Li Yuan and Li Rong, came over with cleaning tools to help tidy up the house.

Bo Bing tidied up the hay and leaves in the woodpile, then took his tools to clean the kang door. He was quite skilled at it, cleaning up the ash on the kang, then feeding the kang with the basket of leaves and firewood on his back. He spread the tools inside and lit them.

The thick smoke made him cough twice. He kept pushing aside the firewood, closing the door of the kang (a heated brick bed), and then walked to the next kang, repeating the same actions.

This stuff smells really strong when it's burned.

The courtyard is surrounded on all sides. The main house is the north-facing room, which has a large kang (heated brick bed) inside. The secondary house is the west-facing room, which has a kang, a large table, and a television. Next to the west-facing room is the kitchen, and opposite the kitchen is the toilet with a half-canopy. There is a pear tree in the courtyard, and next to the tree is the woodshed.

The kang (heated brick bed) that hasn't been used for a long time is damp. If you don't light a fire beforehand to dry it out, it's impossible to sleep on it in winter. Right now, all that's left on the kang is a wool felt and oil paper, and the two sisters are cleaning up the debris.

If the fire is kept burning until night, the moisture will probably be mostly gone.

By the time they finished cleaning up, it was already dinnertime. Bo Bing cooked a big pot of stew, and Li Feng's family brought steamed buns and joined in the meal.

Some light bulbs had a dim, yellowish tint.

A green plastic pull cord switch dangled from a wooden post, and the dish antenna of an old-fashioned television sat on a stool by the door, where the local station was broadcasting its evening news.

The group sat around a large table, each person having a bowl of stew and two steamed buns for dinner.

"Brother Bing, when did you get back? Your hairstyle is so cool!"

Li Bo sat next to Bo Bing, peeking out and saying, "I miss you so much when you're not around..."

He went back to his hometown as soon as winter vacation started. Grandpa Li really liked this grandson and was very fond of him. Li Rong had to attend tutoring classes, so she arrived a little late.

"You've only been back a few days," Bo Bing wiped her mouth and teased him, "Did you miss me terribly?"

"Hey, can't you be in love anymore!"

The speaker was Li Feng. "You didn't see it, Bobo brags about his brother all the time, look how cowardly he is."

"You were only thinking of Brother Xiao Bing, why didn't you think of me?"

Bo Yuntian put his arm around Li Bo and clinked the teacups in Li Bo's hands like brothers. "Isn't your brother handsome?"

"Hey! Brother Xiaoyun, don't laugh at me," Li Bo quickly clinked glasses with Bo Yuntian, "Brother Xiaoyun is handsome too!"

Li Feng grinned, "That coward is good at flattery."

The people at the dinner table deliberately avoided mentioning Li Dai. The two young girls, Li Yuan and Li Rong, were huddled on the sofa, whispering to each other.

"We now have an urgent news report..."

The dignified female host looked at the camera and announced, "A fire broke out at a transportation group warehouse in the new urban area of ​​L City, and flammable materials triggered a secondary explosion... Firefighters have arrived at the scene and have begun emergency rescue operations..."

"The incident has resulted in 12 injuries and 3 deaths... Government officials are taking this accident very seriously... City Lord Yin has personally arrived at the scene to direct the firefighting and rescue efforts..."

Bo Bing suddenly stood up.

Accident?!

No! Absolutely not! Because this is Zhi Yu's territory!

Bo Bing stared at the news report on television, a chill creeping over him. If he wasn't mistaken...

—This is a fire dragon burning down the granary!
