Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 22

Sure enough, without running far, Ning Qing heard the rustling of the trees behind her as well as the footsteps of fast running.

It seemed that there was a ladder in that direction. She must get down before the man.

There was more panic and chaos in her heart because the footsteps behind her were getting closer.

He would surpass Ning Qing at any time and climb up to the wall in advance to stop her.

But for a moment, she saw a slope-shaped thing not far away.

Running quickly, Ning Qing discovered that there was no ladder, just a slope where a pile of dead wood and weeds piled up, but it’s height was enough to make people climb on the wall.

She couldn’t waste time. The gangster could immediately climb the head of this pile. With his foot strength and speed, she couldn’t run far, and would be caught.

What to do? What to do? ?

An idea flashed in her head. She took out the flint she carried with her, jumped on the haystack, and blew a few sparks to ignite the grass.

It was autumn, the sky was dry with the sun for many days. The wild grass quickly burned up with the little autumn wind.

Ning Qing took advantage of the gap and turned over the wall again.

When the man ran close, the flames were already the height of half a man.

Ning Qing could only be glared fiercely at.

She stood at the wall and asked, “Why did you try to hurt me?”

Time must be delayed until the rising black smoke got discovered by the Chen people, so that she had a chance to save herself and catch the gangsters.

The man naturally dared not cross the fire and looked at the little girl on the wall across the fire. It seemed that the duck he had got was flying away.

“I took money,” he finally uttered, his accent wasn’t the same as the people of Sucheng.

It turned out that he was looking for her in the green forest. This person hated her enough for not only ruining her reputation, but also taking her life.

“Now that your task is not completed, you can’t get the money when you go back. So, how much did that person give you? I will pay you ten times. Ten times! Not a small amount. As long as you say his name and you don’t have to hurt any life.”

“You’re not stupid to lose such a good deal,” Ning Qing tempted him.

The man’s brows loosened and he seemed to be thinking of it in his heart.

Ning Qing continued, “Look, the people in this world do things for their benefit. Since the person hired you to ruin people, they will definitely not be a good person. Anyway, no one is a good person. What do you care about?”

“People like you, who have added blood to the blade, lived everyday, one day at a time. You could be caught up by the officers at any time. After which they would be killed in a block. It would be better to take my money and live a few days right?”

The man stared at Ning Qing, his expression slightly changed.

At this moment, a shout came from the forest, “Quick, it’s over there. Everyone come.”

There were also eager footsteps.

After waiting for the people who finally came, Ning Qing was overjoyed.

She immediately responded, “Come on, everyone here, here,” she jumped up at the wall and waved.

The man looked back, and said angrily, “You are so scheming. Today, I looked down on you and gave you an opportunity.”

Looking at the reinforcements that were about to arrive, she smiled rather proudly, “That’s your stupidity, my lord. I’ve been through a lot of battles. My eyes are sharp and my hands are fast. You want to kill me but you can’t. Say the employer behind you, I could spare your life. “

“You want to frame me. You are a little bit tender.”

The man pulled away the weeds by the wall, and then passed through it.

“Wait for me. Your little life would be taken by this Lord. I missed it today but will take it in the coming days,” before he left, he said a few harsh words.

What was going on? There was actually a hole of more than a feet high.

It looked like a big dog hole.

“Quickly catch the gangster, he ran!” Ning Qing saw a person and quickly called for help.

“Quick the fire! Come over with the bucket.”

There was no use to say anything to the people. They all concentrated in the place where the fire was.

Ning Qing watched the gangster flee away.

The first wave of people from Chen’s house carried pots and pans in their hands, filled with water. They saw a fire, poured it.

But this autumn, the trees and wild herbs were dried up. They caught fire. With the help of wind which supported combustion, the flames grew more prosperous.

Seeing the fire getting stronger, Ning Qing was forced to retreat far away from the high temperature.

She didn’t expect the fire to burn so much. It was completely beyond her expectations.

Because it was far away from the water source, the fire had not been extinguished.

The voice for help became louder. It should have alarmed the entire Chen Mansion, and guests came one after another to rush to the fire.

“First extinguish this side, block the way to the fire.”

Ning Qing stood tall, watching the fire going.

When everyone heard it, they turned around and stopped the fire.

Fortunately, there were many guests in Chen’s House today, and by pouring water repeatedly, they stopped it. Although it was far from the water source, after some help, it was successfully extinguished.

Ning Qing watched the flames go down, and finally her suspended heart went down.

She looked at a large piece of black land under the wall, and the blackened wall.

Fortunately, there was no danger! Only a dozen trees were burned, and Chen Mansion wasn’t burned out. The gangster had run away.

“Who is this girl? She actually caused the fire in Chen’s house!” One of the people in the group said angrily. Such a big event happened, and at the full moon banquet of the Chen family’s golden grandson, someone had to be held accountable.

Everyone glanced at Ning Qing, who was on the wall.

Indeed, when they came, the girl stood by the fire alone. A group of people who came before believed that the fire was caused by her in their hearts.

Ning Qing was stunned. She caused the fire but that was because she wanted to save her life.

She was forced!

However, it was clear that people wouldn’t understand her.

So she explained, “I did make the fire, but …”

“Look, she confessed. Quickly arrest her and hand her to Mr. Chen,”she was interrupted as soon as she started talking.
