I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 47 Firebreak

Owen, who was drinking coffee in the living room, suddenly heard a muffled and piercing scream in his ears, panicking like a bereaved dog.

The face of the butler Pojiao who was standing next to him suddenly changed. He bowed hastily and was about to leave.

Owen was one step ahead of him, put down his coffee and rushed over like a gust of wind.

The lame butler said anxiously: "Mr. Owen, you can't go there!"

How could Owen listen to him? He had already gone to the basement.

The lame butler chased for a few steps but failed to catch up. When he was about to follow him down the stairs, he suddenly stopped again.

A fierce look flashed across his face, he turned around and walked to the side cabinet, pulled the drawer, and there was a gun inside.

This is a double-barreled flintlock pistol launched by the East India Company last year. It is equipped with larger-caliber projectiles. It is an excellent hunting gun. It was loved by the squires and nobles as soon as it was produced.

In Europe during this period, the squires and nobles who were not engaged in production could only spend their days playing cards and hunting. All kinds of shotguns were almost necessary for gentlemen.

The one in Pojiao Butler's hand has seen a lot of blood.

With a cold face, he walked towards the basement step by step with his gun in hand.

Don't blame him for being cruel, but blame some people for being so reckless and rude that they break into other people's homes.

Although killing a squire would be more troublesome later on, Butler Pojiao was not afraid.

Just because he is very aware of the resources his master has in his hands. Let alone a country squire, he is a noble man in London. If he discovers a secret that should not be discovered, he must die when he deserves it.

The old butler trembled with excitement at the thought of shooting a gentleman who was originally of a high status.

Compared with a humble orphan, it is much more enjoyable for a gentleman to have his blood splattered at his feet!

Just when his mind was full of coldness and excitement, and he was about to raise his hand to shoot Owen, something suddenly tripped under his feet.

When he was young, he had his leg trampled by a horse while rescuing his master. As a result, his feet were uneven and lame. Now he was caught off guard and tripped. He couldn't maintain his balance and immediately fell down the stairs.

This fall was so serious that it not only alerted the enemy, but also threw the gun he was holding out!

He hurriedly pounced on the pistol like an eagle pouncing on food, but at this moment, a shocking scene happened - the gun flew up in the air and was pointed at him, scaring him almost to the point of peeing.

The sinister old housekeeper immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, his face full of fear, and kept shouting: "No, no, no..."

Xia Qingdai had just used her invisibility skills to scare Richard, the old pervert, into unconsciousness, and now she was preparing to use the same technique to scare Richard's old dog.

Unexpectedly, she didn't know how to hold a pistol safely, so her finger accidentally touched the trigger, and with a "bang", the old housekeeper collapsed!

Her face suddenly turned pale.

She actually shot someone!

"Leave it to me?" Owen, who was startled by the gunshot, came to her side in one step and cautiously reached out to her.

From Xia Qingdai's confused expression, he had already guessed that the shot was not fired intentionally by her, but accidentally fired.

Watching the blood gurgling out of the old man lying on the ground, soaking into the floor, the bright red color is dazzling, and the fishy smell is astounding!

Xia Qingdai suddenly felt nauseous, as if there was a plane roaring in her head.

My ears were buzzing and I couldn't hear what Owen was saying.

She just subconsciously threw the pistol into Owen's hand, like dropping a hot potato.

At the same time, she was still desperately thinking about leaving this world. Unexpectedly, because she was not within the scope of the castle at this time, she could not follow her heart.

At this moment, the power of faith hidden in her dantian began to spin, as if responding to her thoughts. Without even thinking about it, Xia Qingdai directly summoned the power of faith to withdraw from the eighteenth century.

The next second, God fulfilled her wish, and she really returned to modern times! That vague power of faith dissipated in the air.

Xia Qingdai couldn't think of anything else, and immediately threw herself into bed, hugging the quilt and shivering, and tears of fear could not stop flowing down her face.

She killed someone, she shot someone!

Although Richard's dog slave was definitely not a good thing when he helped catch children, that was not the reason for her to kill him with her own hands!

If this matter were done to Xia Shanglu, he should be able to bear it after seeing several corpses and giant scenes.

But Xia Qingdai, a girl who has been in the school's ivory tower for more than ten years, is really not that strong anymore, and the blood is too irritating to her.

She was confused and didn't know how long she had been crying under the quilt, but Xia Qingdai finally fell asleep.

Later, she was woken up by Xia Shanglu in her dream, and when she woke up, she found that she was covered in cold sweat.

Xia Shanglu held her like a child without saying a word, just like he did every night when she had nightmares or missed her parents when she was a child.

Ever since she had menarche, Xia Shanglu had never entered her room and hugged her like this again. Today, she didn't know how hard she cried in her dream to even let Xia Shanglu cry in.

After a long time, Xia Qingdai calmed down, wiped her tears, and got out of Xia Shanglu's arms.

Xia Shanglu stood up and left the edge of her bed, pulled the quilt up to her chin, lowered his head and asked her, "What's wrong? What nightmare did you have?"

Xia Qingdai looked pale and said, "I dreamed of a lot of blood, all from dead people. I'm so scared."

Xia Shanglu sighed: "Your brother dug out an arm in the garbage mountain and didn't have any nightmares. Why are you afraid of it first? What novels did you read during the recent winter vacation?"

Xia Qingdai stopped talking. She killed someone. What should I say?

Although we are in another world, the fragility of life is not the same.

Xia Shanglu looked at Xia Qingdai's face and felt that it was no longer as pale and scary as in his dream, and he felt relieved.

He leaned over and rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's still early now, it's not even four o'clock, let's go back to sleep again! I have to go to sleep again, brother is here, What are you afraid of?"

"Oh."

Xia Qingdai stood up and shouted before Xia Shanglu exited: "Lock the door for me."

"Okay." Xia Shanglu was speechless and stretched out his hand to press the safety on the round door lock for her.

After closing the door, Xia Qingdai collapsed on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, then got up and leaned over to look at the castle on the bay window.

At this time, the sky outside the castle was filled with heavy snow again, and the sky was dark.

The days are short in winter, and when the weather is bad, it’s normal for it to get dark after four o’clock.

Although the two glass lamps in the front yard of the castle were on, the light was very weak because there was really no sun during the day.

If there is not enough solar energy during the day, it will naturally not be able to emit bright light at night.
