Among them, there was a big man among the last to die. His appearance gave Li Du a familiar feeling. Li Du had seen a man who looked like him not long ago. That man was the King of Hpakant!
Immediately, he remembered what Old Thaw had said: Those who came here looking for jade were all dead, including the sixteenth son of the King of Old Hpakant. He died a horrible death, his whole body swollen and black.
Needless to say, these people's deaths were definitely related to this stove!
First of all, how did they die? Did someone poison the soup made by the stove? That didn't make sense. It was impossible for those people to be unprepared when they came to look for jade mines.
Everyone in the gemstone industry had come from scheming and plotting. They were all highly vigilant, and it was too difficult to poison their food.
Take Li Du's side for example. Although he trusted Maung Kyaw Zin a lot, he was still wary of the food that Maung Kyaw Zin brought to them. The bodyguards ate with ease because Maung Kyaw Zin's wife and daughter were eating with them.
If there was a problem with the food, they wouldn't be able to escape!
If they weren't poisoned by the soup, how did they die?
Li Du could not figure it out. The scenes of the past were like slides. They appeared one by one, so it was hard to tell what was going on.
All he could think of was that for the sake of his life, it was best to destroy the stove. At the very least, he could not stay with them. It was also possible that the stove was radioactive.
However, this still did not make sense. Maung Kyaw Zin's family had been with the stove all this time, but there was no problem with it. This meant that the stove's damage to humans could only be triggered by special conditions.
In order to find the truth, Li Du turned back time to look at the scenes that were displayed.
In the later scenes, other than the sixteenth son of the King of Old Hpakant, who looked very much like the King of Hpakant, he saw another familiar person. It was Maung Kyaw Zin, the young Maung Kyaw Zin.
From the looks of it, Maung Kyaw Zin looked to be about forty-five or forty-six years old. In the timeline, he appeared to be in his twenties to thirty-five or thirty-six years old.
It was obvious that Maung Kyaw Zin had something to do with the deaths of these people. However, Li Du still could not figure out what role he played in all of this.
If he really couldn't figure it out, then he would stop thinking about it. Li Du decided to deal with the stove first.
He sent a message to Brother Wolf, who nodded to show that he understood.
Under Brother Wolf's arrangement, two bodyguards left the vicinity of the mine without anyone noticing.
About five or six minutes later, Brother Wolf suddenly looked at the edge of the forest and shouted, "Who is it? Be careful! "
Just as he finished speaking, a few crisp sounds suddenly rang out. "Ta, ta, ta!"
Li Du looked shocked and shouted, "Gunmen!"
As he shouted, he pinned Maung Kyaw Zin to the ground. Then, Brother Wolf and a few others ran over and shouted, "Boss, are you okay?"
Li Du shoved Maung Kyaw Zin into Brother Wolf's hands and said, "I'm fine. Take the mayor to hide. Quick, quick, everyone go hide together. What's going on?"
A few burly bodyguards separated the two of them. While Maung Kyaw Zin was not paying attention to him, Li Du quickly opened the door of the bronze stove and threw a handful of bullets inside.
At the same time, he released the little bug. This time, he did not bother with the little bug. As soon as the little bug appeared, it immediately flew to the stove and pot, absorbing the time energy in a frenzy.
There were still people shooting at the edge of the forest. A group of people hid behind the rocks of the mine, not daring to show their heads.
Maung Kyaw Zin shouted, "My stove and pot, hey, let go of me, I have to take the stove and pot with me!"
Li Du grabbed him and shouted, "Are you crazy? It's just a stove. They have guns. Do you want to die? "
Maung Kyaw Zin struggled and said, "No, you don't understand. That stove and pot are very important to me and my family …"
Li Du forced him away and said, "No matter how important they are, can they be more important than human lives? Hurry, Brother Wolf, take the mayor and leave. D * mn, what's going on? "
The sound of gunfire was still intermittent. Everyone gathered together and hid behind a rock.
Li Du asked, "What's going on?"
Brother Wolf shouted, "I don't know. Why would someone shoot at us?"
Young Markelov asked, "Could it be that the d * mn casino owner is back to take over our territory?"
Li Du looked at Maung Kyaw Zin and asked, "Mayor, who in the town has a gun?"
Maung Kyaw Zin panicked and said, "There are many people with guns, but they are all hunting rifles. This, this is a type of rifle, right?"
"Yes, a rifle. Could it be the guerrillas or some other army?" Young Markelov said.
Brother Wolf immediately shook his head. "Impossible. There aren't many of them, and they don't have many guns. F * ck, it's a pity we don't have guns. Otherwise, with so many of us, we could cover for each other and charge at them!"
The sound of gunfire continued to ring out intermittently. They were suppressed behind the rocks.
Suddenly, there was a loud crackling sound from the stove and pot not far away. After a few sounds, the pot jumped up as if it had been blown away by something.
Seeing this, Maung Kyaw Zin was stunned. He froze for a moment, then let out a heart-wrenching scream. "Ah, my basin! Let me go, let me go! "
The little bug had returned. No one knew when it had returned, but it was lying on Li Du's shoulder contentedly. At this time, it had four pairs of wings. Its body seemed to have become slender, and its whole body was black and shiny. It had a kind of beauty to it!
Li Du did not have time to check its changes. He quickly kept it, then held the struggling Maung Kyaw Zin back and shouted, "Mayor, do you want to die?"
Maung Kyaw Zin cried out in despair, "Basin! My basin! Let me go, let me go, let me see my basin! "
Li Du said blankly, "What basin? Do you mean that pot? "
Brother Wolf held Maung Kyaw Zin back and said, "You can't go out, f * ck! Bear with it, I'll take some people to the forest! "
Just as he and the Markelov brothers were about to leave, the gunshots in the forest suddenly stopped.
Then, Firecracker and Madman ran out of the forest and said, "It's okay, they left."
Hearing this, Li Du stood up and asked, "Who are they?"
Firecracker shook his head and said, "I don't know. Madman and I sneaked behind them, but we didn't have guns, so we couldn't get close. We could only hit them with rocks. They left when they saw us. They don't look like locals, they're very tall …"
Without waiting for him to finish, Maung Kyaw Zin scrambled over to where the cooking utensils were.
The stove was already destroyed. The bronze stove was full of cracks, and the copper pot was broken into several pieces. Maung Kyaw Zin reached out to touch it, and then screamed from the heat, "Ah! No! "
Li Du, who was behind him, grabbed his shoulder and said, "It's okay, mayor. It's just a stove. I'll give you a modern one in the future …"
"What do you know?" Maung Kyaw Zin screamed and interrupted him. "Huh? What do you know?! You think this is a stove and pot? "
