Chapter 510 I'll grant your wish (36)
Throughout history, most people have relied on the mountains for sustenance and the sea for livelihood.
Setting fire to the mountain will ultimately cause suffering to the people and the lives on the mountain.
Natural disasters are unavoidable, but man-made disasters can be avoided if possible.
Lin You walked out of the tent but then turned back. "Sir, should we expel the people ahead of schedule?"
Two thousand soldiers would be more than enough to drive away the surrounding civilians.
However, if they were expelled ahead of schedule, Mo Chou and the others would receive the news.
Wang Hui refused, saying, "No need, that would alert them."
The people smelled smoke rising from the mountain and ran away.
Lin Youxin was shocked and thought to himself: This woman is really vicious, she actually abandoned the people around here.
Seeing that it was getting late and they would be taking action the next night, Wang Hui said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave now. Don't let this information leak out."
"Yes."
Lin opened the door and went out.
If he had known that this madwoman was planning to burn the mountain, he would have risked his life to report to the prince and stop her from the start.
The tent door was pushed open again. Wang Hui thought Lin had returned and scolded him, "You're getting more and more rude. You just came in without knocking."
Is there anything else?
Three knocks came from the door.
Wang Hui rolled her eyes. They're already inside, what's the point of knocking? "Is there anything else?" she asked, turning around to look at them.
Then she saw the person she never wanted to see in her life. Wang Hui was about to scream when everything went black and she fainted.
Xiong Bufan held Wang Hui in his hand; Heaven's eye for choosing protagonists was really not good.
If such a vicious creature can be the protagonist, then this world has no future.
Kongkong reminded him, "Bufan, stop talking, this is the former female lead."
"Okay, I got it."
If they keep harping on the Heavenly Dao's weaknesses, the Heavenly Dao will get angry and make things difficult for them.
When Wang Hui woke up again, she was hanging from a tree with a large bonfire below her and no leaves visible on the trees next to her.
The flames were being fanned by the wind, and some sparks had already landed on her embroidered shoes. It seemed only a matter of time before she was burned to death or severely burned.
Unless she is rescued or her excrement extinguishes the fire below, which is simply impossible.
Xiong Bufan took a skewer of pheasant, cleaned it, and squatted down to roast and eat it.
Seeing that Wang Hui was awake, Xiong Bufan greeted her warmly, "You're awake."
The flames had blackened Wang Hui's shoes and burned her toes, and Wang Hui finally felt fear.
"Mo Chou, no, Master, please let me go. I promise I will never appear in front of you again."
Xiong Bufan ignored her. To be honest, she felt that Wang Hui's words were not original at all; she seemed to have said the same thing last time and the time before that.
Wang Hui: "Master, don't you like money?"
I have lots and lots of money; I'll give it all to you if you release me.
Xiong Bufan didn't want to put her down himself because she was lazy.
Besides, she doesn't lack those few pennies now.
She tried to say two sentences, but Mo Chou ignored her. Wang Hui was also unsure of herself. The flames had already reached her calves and burned her clothes.
Xiong Bufan: "You will be burned to death, just like you set the mountain on fire."
Wang Hui was startled. Who had told Mo Chou that she was going to burn the mountain? Could it have been Lin You? That would be a traitor.
A chicken was cooked. Xiong Bufan pulled off a piece of meat, blew on it, and put it in his mouth, enjoying Wang Hui's miserable state.
As a demon, Xiong Bufan rarely tortured or killed humans, because there was no need for it.
The tree where Wang Hui was tied also caught fire, and the fire was extremely fierce, probably because of the added kerosene.
Xiong Bufan also felt hot and saw no need to stay any longer, so he carried the grilled chicken skewers and left the hilltop.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiong Bufan could still hear Wang Hui's screams; her voice was incredibly piercing.
After watching for a while at the foot of the mountain, Xiong Bufan left without hesitation.
She is a kind and soft-hearted bear; seeing Wang Hui's miserable state would terrify her so much that she couldn't sleep.
The tree and the fire below caught fire together, essentially roasting Wang Hui over the flames.
Wang Hui struggled incessantly, and suddenly realized that her body was also greasy, and judging from the smell, it was very much like kerosene.
Mo Chou really left her no way out.
Wang Hui has burns of varying sizes all over her body. Her feet and calves are a bloody mess. Even if she is rescued, amputation will be the only option.
Wang Hui began to shake her body vigorously, hoping to shake herself off the fire and escape this predicament.
We've reached a dead end, but a little effort might bring a new turning point.
Unfortunately, ordinary people without the protagonist's halo have no chance of escaping.
The tree branch had been burned very thin, and when Wang Hui moved it, it broke off. Even more tragically, the tree had already fallen, smashing Wang Hui directly into the fire.
This completely eliminated any possibility of survival, leaving Wang Hui with no choice but to scream in agony.
"Mo Chou, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
The smoke was so thick that it directly damaged my eyes and throat, which is why the cursing stopped.
After dealing with Wang Hui, Xiong Bufan went to their campsite. There was still a lot of kerosene there, and if it wasn't dealt with properly, there was a constant risk of setting the mountain on fire.
Kongkong thought Xiong Bufan was going to burn the soldiers to death, and tried to dissuade him, "Bufan, are you going to burn them?"
"I'll only kill a portion of them."
"it is good."
Although Xiong Bufan was furious about their arson, he was ultimately not a bear who would indiscriminately kill innocent people.
The soldiers slept in communal beds, while the officers had their own individual tents.
Xiong Bufan's first stop was Lin You's room, intending to kill him.
Lin You reacted more than twice as fast as Wang Hui, drawing his sword and slashing at Xiong Bufan, demanding, "Who goes there?"
"The one who will take your dog's life."
After Lin You saw Xiong Bufan's face clearly, he sheathed his sword and knelt down.
Xiong Bufan had intended to smash Lin You's head with a single punch, but his fist missed its mark.
"Sect Leader Mo, don't kill me! It was Wang Hui who wanted to burn the mountain, not me."
Xiong Bufan kicked him, but this time he held back and didn't kill him.
Lin You coughed up blood and got up from the ground. That kick, without any internal force, had already seriously injured him.
Mo Chou's strength should not be underestimated; this seems to be the result of her holding back.
Xiong Bufan didn't waste any words, "Wang Hui is dead, are you still going to set the mountain on fire?"
It goes without saying who killed Wang Hui.
"I will lead the soldiers back now to find Lord Wang's body and report back."
Xiong Bufan didn't understand the underlying meaning, but knowing they were going back, he agreed and said, "If you come again, I'll kill you. I'm taking the kerosene with me."
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Lin You did not believe that Xiong Bufan could take away nearly two warehouses of kerosene on his own, and that making a promise now was something he had no choice but to do.
Xiong Bufan: "Okay, I got it." Then he disappeared.
Lin You was inside the tent when he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
