chapter 7 really on fire

"James Xu? I didn't remember that I knew someone like you! "
Christopher Zhang's face did not show the anger in his heart. He stared at James Xu and said,
"What happened a year ago has already passed, so I won't ask any more questions. I'm just asking you, what did you mean when you said I wouldn't survive tomorrow morning?"
"You are a stranger to me. Why do you curse me, an old man who is over seventy years old?" Christopher Zhang said.
James Xu said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Master Zhang. Because I don't have much time, some of my words may be offensive. I came here this time to ask Master Zhang to save my wife. As long as Master Zhang agrees, I will help Master Zhang escape this life-threatening situation."
"Just you?"Lily Lin glanced at James Xu disdainfully.
His master had treated countless powerful people before.
Whenever master was in danger, many people would take the initiative to help. Was it James Xu turn?
Christopher Zhang didn't show any emotion on his face when he listened to James Xu's "arrogant" words.
He looked at James Xu with calm eyes and said with a hint of displeasure,
"I don't know how you found here. Since you know me and what happened a year ago, you must also understand my character."
"There are many people who have begged me to cure their illnesses, but none of them have cursed me to death like you. However, because it is fate that you and I met, I will give you a chance to explain."
Apparently!
Christopher Zhang was already angry!
James Xu smiled lightly, but there was no hint of joking in his tone,
"Last night, I had a dream that there was a fire here, so I came here today to remind Master Zhang..."
James Xu finished speaking. Lily Lin, who was standing next to him interrupted directly,
"I'm afraid even the devil won't believe your words. Get out!"
Christopher Zhang looked at Lily Lin's movements with cold eyes and said nothing.
Apparently Christopher Zhang acquiesced in Lily Lin's intention to blast James Xu out.
James Xu was not angry because he knew that his words were not convincing.
After all, the excuse for dreaming was indeed not very credible, and since it didn't happen. Nobody would believe it.
James Xu walked straight to the counter, picked up the pen on it, left his phone number, turned to Christopher Zhang and said firmly，
"Tomorrow around 5:15 a.m., the pharmacy on the left will catch fire. When you put out the fire, remember to check whether the liquid in the white bucket is water."
"Master Zhang, I've said this.It's up to you to believe it or not."
"This is my phone number. I'm waiting for you to find me."
James Xu finished his speaking.
Then James Xu smiled lightly, turned around and left.
That vowing tone and calm behavior seemed to be 100% certain that the fire would definitely happen.
It seemed that he, Christopher Zhang, would have died in the fire without James Xu's reminder.
Ridiculous!
Seeing Christopher Zhang step forward and pick up the note left by James Xu, Lily Lin felt very angry,
"Master, why didn't you stop me just now? I should have torn his mouth out! I'm so angry! This villain actually cursed you like this."
"James Xu really thought of himself as a fortune teller."Lily Lin said.
However--
Christopher Zhang did not scan the number on the note and threw it directly into the trash can.
Then, Christopher Zhang looked at his apprentice who was irritable when something happened and sighed, "Okay, there's no need to argue with this kind of person. Just don't let him come here in the future."
Christopher Zhang shook his head in complete disbelief and entered the pharmacy with his hands behind his back.
It was nonsense that there would be a fire.
…
In the early morning, Lily Lin closed the door and returned to the pharmacy to cook medicine.
Although there were still gas tanks in the pharmacy, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the medicine, Bao Lin Pharmacy had always used coal to decoct medicine.
For some reason, Lily Lin couldn't help but think of James Xu's words as soon as he walked into the pharmacy.
Although Lily Lin said he didn't believe it during the day, James Xu's words still made him uneasy because of James Xu's firmness.
An hour later, Lily Lin finally finished frying the medicine, then he turned on the fire and was about to go back to his room to rest.
James Xu's words came to mind again.
"I won't sleep tonight and will just stay in front of this stove. I don't believe it."
Lily Lin gritted his teeth and simply sat in front of the stove, staring at the stove.
In the first half of the night, Lily Lin was in good spirits. But in the second half of the night, after four o'clock in the morning, both Lily Lin's eyelids started fighting. He felt very sleepy.
At about five o'clock, Lily Lin fell asleep on his knees.
Lily Lin didn't notice that a faint and pungent smell of gas slowly spread, and a dark wind came from nowhere in the house, blowing up the sparks in the stove and falling on the curtains.
The flames lit up instantly.
The fire started all of a sudden, with thick smoke billowing...
Lily Lin felt a burning sensation and a pungent smell of smoke when he was sleeping, and he suddenly woke up.
When he saw the raging fire in the room, he woke up.
"Fire!"
"On fire!"
"..."
Lily Lin was so frightened that he was thrown into confusion and he jumped to the door.Just as he was about to pick up the white bucket at the door, a sentence suddenly rang in his mind,
"Remember to check if the liquid in the white bucket is water."
Lily Lin took a deep breath, opened the bottle cap and smelled it. It was gasoline!
Lily Lin's hands and feet suddenly became cold.
This was the gasoline Lily Lin just went to buy today. He was so panicked just now that he forgot about it.
"That man didn't lie to me."
Lily Lin was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out on his back.
If that person hadn't reminded him, he would have used this to put out the fire just now!
"Huhu..."
At this moment, the fire roared again. Lily Lin didn't care why James Xu knew about it. He took the gasoline barrel out and quickly picked up a bucket of water.
The fire in the room looked very big, but in fact it was just a few curtains that were flammable, and it was not as severe as it seemed. The fire was quickly extinguished.
However, the decoction shop was also burned to a pitch-dark state.
Christopher Zhang, who lived next door, was awakened and hurried over.
When Christopher Zhang saw the situation in the pharmacy, his cloudy eyes suddenly changed, "How did it catch on fire?"
"Just now..."
Lily Lin told the whole thing from beginning to end.
Speaking of all this, Lily Lin felt a little scared.
Lily Lin and Christopher Zhang both lived in Bao Lin Pharmacy, and their bedrooms were close to the pharmacy. Once gasoline was poured on it and burned, there would be no chance for them to escape.
Lily Lin looked at Christopher Zhang fearfully for a while.
"If it weren't for that person yesterday, we would have been engulfed in a sea of flames..."
"Master, is there really a prophet in this world?"
Christopher Zhang also felt it was very strange. He was silent for a long time and said slowly, "This must be just a coincidence."
"However, no matter what, this can be considered a life-saving grace. I have to repay it. You should quickly find the contact information of that person!"
