"Come on, Tingting. Hurry up and eat. The steak is getting cold."
Fang Xiaolong held the silver knife and fork with both hands and began to cut the beef with force, eating it in big mouthfuls.
" Um…" Ren Tingting picked up the knife and fork absentmindedly, recalling Fang Xiaolong's words just now.
Her heart was in turmoil and she could not calm down for a long time.
"Yes, it's delicious. Tingting, why aren't you eating?"
"Did they fry the steak? It's not to your liking?”Fang Xiaolong was really hungry, so he ate half a steak in no time.
"No, I haven't." Ren Tingting used a knife to cut a small piece of steak and gracefully put it into her cherry lips, chewing gently.
"Shall we change the topic?"
"What topic, Tingting?"
"Xiaolong, do you want to go to the provincial capital…or the outside world to see?”
"Provincial City?"
Deng! One slow and one fast, three consecutive hits.
Just as the two of them were conversing, the sound of a watchman striking a gong came from the street outside.
"The weather is dry, be careful of the fire!”
"Lock the doors and windows, pay attention to theft!
---------------------
After a while, Fang Xiaolong and Ren Tingting were chatting in the western restaurant.
"Dong!" Thump! Dong!"
One slow, two fast, the sound of a copper gong rang out.
"The weather is dry, be careful of the fire!”
"Lock the doors and windows, pay attention to theft!
The sound of the night watchman came from outside the street again.
"Xiaolong, it's already midnight. Let's go back. It's time to rest." Ren Tingting stood up and looked at the darkness outside the restaurant.
"Alright, let's go." Fang Xiaolong pulled out a chair, picked up a white handkerchief from the dining table, and wiped his mouth.
"Not good! Fire!"
"Put out the fire! The mortuary is on fire!" The night watchman's pupils suddenly constricted as he shouted for help.
At this moment, the night watchman outside the street suddenly saw the burning blue flames in the direction of the mortuary. It was especially eye-catching in the dark night sky.
"What?! The mortuary is on fire?" Fang Xiaolong was shocked when he heard this and rushed out of the restaurant.
" Xiaolong, wait for me..." Ren Tingting came back to her senses and quickly chased after him.
The two of them stood outside the western restaurant and looked in the direction of the mortuary. The blue flames and rolling black smoke were dazzling and eye-catching.
"Damn it…who is it? If he dares to set fire to the mortuary, I won't forgive him.”Fang Xiaolong clenched his hands into fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.
The commoners in the Ren family town opened their wooden doors and walked out of the streets. They watched as the mortuary was set ablaze, pointing and discussing.
"Hurry up! Villagers, quickly put out the fire!"
"Ninth Uncle is a good man. His mortuary cannot be burned down.”
"Yes, Xiaolong is here. He's fine!"
"Everyone, go to the well to get water and put out the fire together.”
Then, under Fang Xiaolong's command, the commoners returned to their homes, took out wooden buckets, and ran to the well in the alley to get water.
The fire burned for four hours.
Strangely, ordinary water could not extinguish these blue flames.
