Chapter 73 Fire Attack (Please collect and read)

On the way out of the county government office, when passing by the Sanban Courtyard, Shang Lu heard groaning and crying out in pain coming from inside. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, so he turned around and walked into the Sanban Courtyard to check the situation.

As soon as I entered, I saw several corpses placed side by side in the left corner of the yard, simply wrapped in a straw mat.

And in the yard, there were more than a dozen injured people.

They were covered in blood, wailing or groaning, all in pain.

Several doctors shuttled among them, checking and treating their injuries.

Shang Lu took a quick look and found that these people were not all from the Third Class Courtyard, there were also some militiamen and night watchmen.

These people were probably injured by ghosts while patrolling and arresting ghosts, and were sent back to the government office for treatment.

In addition to the fact that there were guards standing guard in the yamen, there was another important reason, which was that the yamen was already equipped with means to exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts.

Compared to other places, this place is safer and more suitable for treating the wounded.

"Lutou."

When Shang Lu was looking at the situation in the third shift's courtyard, Du Feng appeared in front of him. Seeing the dead rats in the bamboo basket, Du Feng was very excited.

"Are these the evil rats that possessed me before? Well done for killing them!"

There was some sound leakage in his voice because the teeth in his mouth had not yet returned to normal and were still long and pointy.

If he is not careful, he will bite his tongue, forcing him to stick out his lips all the time, which makes him look awkward and weird, as if he has really become a wasted person.

Constable Liu and his two companions, who had also been possessed by the rat demon, were in this state before, but after taking the medicine given by the witch and spitting out the evil spirits in their bodies, they have all returned to normal.

"Yes, this biggest rat is the one that possessed you before."

Shang Lu responded, looking Du Feng up and down.

At this moment, Du Feng had already received treatment, and his hands were bandaged like dumplings.

The white cloth used for bandaging was soaked with blood and a black paste that looked like ointment.

Although it looked scary, Du Feng's injuries were much better than those of many other guys in the third shift who were covered in bruises or even dying.

"How is your hand?" Shang Lu asked with concern.

"The doctor said it's not a big problem. Although the flesh was bitten to pieces, fortunately the bones and tendons were not seriously injured. As long as I receive proper treatment and learn some exercises to train my fingers, I will be able to recover as before and the flexibility of my fingers will not be affected."

This diagnosis made Shang Lu feel relieved.

If the fingers are completely disabled or their flexibility is affected, the impact on a constable who practices martial arts will undoubtedly be huge.

"It's good that you are not seriously injured. You must not take it lightly. You must listen to the doctor and heal your wounds well."

Shang Lu gave him a few instructions, took out the ointment he had obtained from the witch, asked him to take it to expel the evil spirit, and was about to turn around and leave.

Du Feng volunteered: "Lu Tou, let me go with you."

Shang Lu saw that his hands were bandaged tightly and he couldn't even hold the bottle of ointment. He could only hold it with both hands, so he shook his head and declined.

"You are in such a state that you can't help me if you follow me. You'd better stay in the government office and have a good rest."

Since Shang Lu said so, even though Du Feng was unwilling, he didn't dare to say much and just agreed obediently.

After sending Shang Lu out of the Sanbanyuan, Du Feng called a doctor and asked him to help open the cork and feed him the ointment inside.

As soon as he ate it, Du Feng's face changed drastically and he started vomiting, almost vomiting all over the doctor.

The doctor was startled. Seeing that Du Feng vomited out foul-smelling black water, he became even more flustered. He quickly pointed to the sky and swore in defense: "It has nothing to do with me. You asked me to feed you this medicine. I didn't poison you."

Du Feng vomited and waved his hands, indicating that he didn't care about the doctor's business.

He had heard from Shang Lu that taking this ointment would expel the evil spirits in the body. But he didn't expect the reaction to come so quickly and violently.

"Could it be that I'm deeply possessed by evil spirits? Damn rat, you deserve to be chopped into pieces by Lu Tou!"

Du Feng was spitting and cursing at the same time, his voice was so loud that it was difficult to hear clearly.

On the other side, Shang Lu had just walked out of the yamen when he saw Sanniang, dressed in a red wedding dress, standing at the dark street corner, quietly waiting for him.

At the gate of the county government office, there were several brave men on duty with knives.

But they didn't see Sanniang, otherwise, if a woman in a wedding dress suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, they would have been scared to death.

Shang Lu strode over and met Sanniang.

A man and a ghost, one black and one red, walked side by side in the dark night.

"Coo, coo, coo, coo..."

Suddenly, Shang Lu heard a strange cry coming from above his head.

When I looked up, I saw a soul-chasing bird flying across the night sky, screaming.

Is this a discovery?

Shang Lu had an idea and immediately took Sanniang with him to quickly chase after the soul-chasing bird.

They chased all the way to the north of the city, and from a distance, they heard someone beating a gong.

The gong sounds urgent and loud.

Shang Lu saw the Soul-Chasing Bird in the sky flying towards the direction of the gong sound, so he sped up and chased after it.

Sanniang's figure flashed and floated into the oil-paper umbrella.

Turning a small alley, Shang Lu saw a raging fire rising into the sky ahead.

Above the fire, several soul-chasing birds were circling and chirping.

At first, Shang Lu thought it was the corpse driver who set fire and hurt people.

As a result, when they got closer, they saw clearly that the people who set the fire were not the corpse driver, but a group of police officers and militiamen.

They surrounded a house, shouting and screaming. Not only did they pile up a large amount of flammable materials outside the house and set them all on fire, they also kept throwing burning materials into the house through the windows.

The arson must have lasted for some time, with the house inside and outside burning and the fire was quite large.

After Shang Lu ran closer, he grabbed a constable and asked, "Why did you set the fire?"

The constable turned around and saw that it was Shang Lu, and quickly reported, "Captain Shang, we followed the soul-chasing bird all the way here and found the corpse-driver who killed Zhang Sheng's family.

He hid in this house and put up a desperate resistance. We wanted to go in and catch him, but he used paper men to control us. Several of our brothers were injured and we were unable to rush in for a while.

When Captain Niu heard us ringing the gong to warn people, he brought his men to reinforce. After asking about the situation and inspecting the scene, he ordered us to set fire.

It is said that paper is afraid of fire, and people are afraid of fire too, so we have to use fire to force the corpse driver out! If he doesn't come out, we will wait inside and burn him and the paper together into charcoal..."

Before the constable could finish his words, there was a loud bang.

The tightly closed door of the burning house suddenly flew open like a cannonball, knocking down two policemen who were unable to dodge in time.

Then, several firemen suddenly rushed out from the house behind the door and rushed towards the officers who were setting fires all around!

One of the fire men was rushing towards Shang Lu and the other man with great momentum.
