After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Fortunately, the four of them had tidied up their appearance and wiped away the excess blood before setting off. Rainy nights were the best weather to hide crimes. Once the heavy rain washed away any evidence, all evidence would disappear.

"Father, sister, are you injured?!" Xu Huiming looked concerned, and quickly helped Xu Degui, but saw that his face was not good, "Father, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you come back for so long? Mother is going crazy with worry, for fear You got lost or encountered some accident!"

"It's okay. I just took a crossroads and your second uncle fell."

"Ah, is it serious?" Xu Huiming went to see Xu Deyuan again. Xu Deyuan was held tightly by Ming Xiaoshuang, which seemed to be a hostage. Xu Deyuan raised his lips again and again, hesitated to speak, but finally just gritted his teeth and said, " It’s okay, it hit a rock.”

"You have to ask a doctor to take a look when you get back!"

Xu Huiming was careless and seemed to be completely unaware of the expressions on several people's faces, but Da Zhuang was the first to smell the blood, and he caught a glimpse of Xu Deyuan's hand.

Injured by a stone?
It doesn't look like it.

It looked like he was injured by someone pressing his hand.

Da Zhuang glanced at Xu Qingying calmly, but saw that her face was flat, without any emotion or joy.On the other hand, Xu Degui's face turned dark, and Xu Deyuan seemed to be frightened, trembling like a frightened bird.

Something must have happened to them just now.

Liu Dazhuang thought so in his heart.

Xu Huiming said: "Since everyone is fine, let's go back quickly. With such heavy rain, the forest is not safe."

The group of people walked slowly towards the village.

After walking along the northwest direction for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Qingying and others finally saw rows of short tile-roofed houses. The rain was pouring, but there were dim lights. Accompanied by the sounds of voices, Xu Qingying reluctantly gave up. Come down.

Before they even got close, someone saw them from a distance.

"Oh, I'm back! Aunt Xu, your two sons are back!"

"Hey, hey, hurry up and get some clean clothes ready. There is hot water in the backyard. Hurry up and get some bath water for Miss Xu so that she can have a nice bath and change into clothes."

"Do you have anything to eat? I'll make some soup."

When everyone saw them coming back, they started getting busy without waiting for orders.

Miao and others went up to meet them and saw that all of them were soaked, especially Xu Deyuan, who was limping and his hands were still bleeding. They were surprised and said: "Second uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Qingying pulled Miao calmly and said, "It's okay. They fell in the forest and my second uncle hurt his hand."

"Ah, what should I do?" Mrs. Miao was so worried that she didn't know what to do. The second room and others also came to ask for help. Now Lian didn't have a good face towards Xu Deyuan. Even when she saw Xu Deyuan's embarrassment, she was indifferent and moved out of the way. To his concubines and aunts.

"Second Master, why is your hand hurt so badly?"

"Do you need a doctor to take a look at this?"

Xu Huizheng only cared about one question, "Dad, you injured your right hand, can you still write in the future?"

The hands of a scholar are the most precious.

The second-fang family also pointed to Qianzhou to see if Xu Deyuan could set up a stall and sell calligraphy and painting to support the family.

But if Xu Deyuan's right hand was injured and he couldn't write, and he couldn't go to the fields to farm, wouldn't it be a disaster for the second house?
The two-bedroom family is small and weak. How will they survive in Qianzhou?

The second room and others thought about this, and many of them looked as if they were mourning for their heirs. Even Aunt Mei, who was usually gentle and gentle in the past, was worried, and her tone was a bit complaining: "Second Master, how could you be so careless? This... you hurt your right hand, What will the family do in the future?"

Xu Deyuan was furious. There was no trace of the family's complaints, and he hated Xu Qingying to the extreme.

A vicious woman.

Sparing his life but destroying his right hand was like cutting his flesh with a blunt knife, making his life worse than death.

But he couldn't express even half of it, so he had to suppress his anger, "What are you afraid of? Is it possible that I will starve you to death? If you don't want to follow me, Xu Deyuan, when we get to Qianzhou, I can give you a concubine release letter. If you If you have a good future and join you, I will never stop you!"

Aunt Mei quickly shrank her head and comforted her: "What are you talking about, Master? We are a family, so naturally we must be together."

The other two aunts also immediately expressed their stance: "Wherever the second master is, we will be there. We are born to the second master in this life, and we will be his ghost after death."

Grandma was heartbroken when she saw the wound on Xu Deyuan's hand, and she was even more heartbroken by the attitude of the concubines and concubines in the second room.

Previously at the cowshed, these concubines and concubines refused to stay and wait for Xu Deyuan.

Now Xu Deyuan is back with an injury. Instead of asking how the injury is, he only cares about whether Xu Deyuan will become a drag in the future.

As expected of my mother-in-law, everyone has very shallow eyes. When I was in Bianjing City, I would greet you every day, be careful to serve and please, and my nice words would be as if they were free of charge.How far have we left Bianjing City? I have become tougher in my speech, and I have started to push back and forth when I ask for something to be done. They are really a bunch of white-eyed wolves!

Huang said angrily: "Okay, everyone who has the time to pretend to be compassionate here, why don't you go make a bowl of hot soup and get some medicine for your father first! This wound looks very oozing, if If it’s not taken care of properly, I’m afraid it will fester.”

The concubines and concubines in the second room started to get busy.

Xu Qingying, on the other hand, was pampered. Her aunt brought her hot soup, Lian found her a pair of clean clothes, and Miao built a curtain for her in the backyard and had hot water for her to wash. The fourth aunt went to the carriage to find towels, soap, etc., and also went to Fang's house to get a bowl of rich ginger soup.

Xu Qingying barely had to do anything, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

The four women were busy working together, you helped, and I helped. First, they gave her a bowl of ginger soup, and while she drank it, someone helped her dry her hair, and then someone gave her some. After stuffing a pill in her mouth, saying it was for protection against wind and cold, Ms. Miao finally dragged her to take a hot bath.

The concubines in the second room watched Mrs. Lian busy with Xu Qingying. Aunt Mei gritted her silver teeth and sneered coldly: "Our mistress is really weird. Our master is so seriously injured. She was so stunned that she didn't even say a word of concern, and even ran to the third room to wrap things up. Those who didn't know this thought she was the mother of the sixth girl." Nowadays, everyone is an exiled prisoner, with equal status, and there is no such thing as a mistress. As for concubines, these concubines gradually stopped paying attention to Lian Qiuzhi.

Everyone could see that the relationship between Lian and Xu Deyuan became worse and worse during the exile. When the two met, they quarreled red-faced and kept saying that they wanted to break up.There hasn't been any quarrel recently, but Lian's attitude towards Xu Deyuan is cold, and it's obvious that he has become alienated.

Chunhe also said: "What's wrong with Madam? She has always disliked the third room. Why is she hanging out with the people from the third room every day? Why doesn't the master care about her?"

Lin Xiao was Lian Qiuzhi's maid. She had been quite obedient in Lian Qiuzhi's hands over the years. After being a slave for many years, she naturally still regarded Lian as her master. She didn't dare to say anything more and just hung her head in silence.

Aunt Mei bumped Lin Xiao with her shoulder, "Why didn't you say anything? You are no longer her slave. Why are you still so afraid of her?"

Aunt Lin smiled faintly and said, "How can we servants manage the affairs of the master's family?"

"Bah, you want to be a slave for the rest of your life, so don't get involved with us." Aunt Mei said in a sharp voice, a bit mean, "Now we are all cheap, no one can be nobler than the other. You forgot that we are under her control How is your life going? Now that the Xu family has fallen, does she still want to show off her authority in front of us?!"

But Chunhe advised her: "Sister Mei, it's better to do less than to do more. The master won't say anything. What do we care about these things? Besides, the Xu family has fallen, but the mistress's natal family is still there. It's better that you don't mess with her less. "

Aunt Mei looked angrily, "It means she can be reincarnated. If I had a father who was a high official, how could I have fallen into this situation."

"It's all fate, what can I do?"

Lian turned a deaf ear to the gossip of her concubines. In the past, she would have been interested in fighting with them.But now, the thought of her having to fight for a man like Xu Deyuan made her feel sick.

Now Xu Deyuan has injured his hand again, and he is afraid that he will not be able to write in the future.

Among the juniors in the second room, the two bastards were so spoiled that they probably wouldn't be able to support the family.

Now in Qianzhou, how will a large family support themselves?
Really farming in the fields?This group of people has been dazzled by the prosperity of Bianjing for a long time, and they have been watering themselves so much that they can't touch the spring water. The great suffering is still to come.

Lian had to understand that from now on, if she had time to fight with Xu Deyuan's concubines, it would be better to please Xu Qingying.

Xu Qingying took a hot bath.

During her exile, Xu Qingying rarely took a bath. In the past, she didn't have the conditions, and it was a waste to boil hot water. She usually just wiped her body with a towel.

This time she took a good bath, and when she came out with the basin, she realized something was wrong. In the whole village, only their side of the yard seemed to be a little angry, and there was no sound at all from other households, and it was pitch black.

Xu Qingying actually discovered it when she first entered the village. However, considering that it was a rainy night, ancient people went to bed early and might have fallen asleep at eight or nine o'clock. But after so long without seeing a stranger, Xu Qingying finally felt that something was wrong. Encountered.

The Xu family's three bedrooms were only allocated one room. There was a kang in the room, but it was cold.

On the road of exile, there was no need to pay attention to the separation between men and women. It was better to sleep on the same kang with men and women sleeping on opposite sides than sleeping in the wilderness before.

There is nothing special about this farmer's yard, but the inside of the house looks like it has just been tidied up, but it is still inexplicably cold.

Xu Qingying dried her hair and sat by the fire with a small spoon to toast her hair. Unexpectedly, she heard the voices of Miao and Bantou Zhao talking outside the yard.

The rain was pouring, and Miao's voice was very low, reaching Xu Qingying's ears intermittently.

The two seemed to have some arguments.

Xu Qingying vaguely heard words such as dead people.

Team leader Zhao came to visit on a rainy night. He even knew that she had just finished bathing and came here non-stop. He must have encountered something difficult.

Xu Qingying had no choice but to wrap up her hair with a towel, quickly walked to the door, opened the door, and the wind rushed in. She said to Zhao Qiaonian who was standing not far outside the door: "Team leader Zhao, what happened?"

Mrs. Miao had a look of disapproval, but she couldn't stand it anymore. Leader Zhao had already said, "Miss Xu, there is a problem in this village. I wanted to tell you just now. But you are soaked and I can't tell you, so I have to wait until now -" —”

"It's okay. What happened?" Xu Qingying used her eyes to reassure Miao, but Miao still looked at her with a sad look on her face, hesitant to speak, but Team Leader Zhao took two steps forward and stood by the door, lowering his head. The voice said, "Girl, there is something wrong with this village. When we came, we found that the whole village was completely dark, with no lights at all. When we came in, we found that the village was indeed empty, but there were several corpses."

"Corpse?" Xu Qingying frowned, but did not hesitate, "Come on, take me to see it."

Miao was thinking in her heart: Why did she have to call her daughter for everything? Forget about making money. Now that a corpse appeared, she had to call Ying'er.Have they forgotten that Ying'er is still a 13-year-old girl, where can she go to see such a bloody scene?

Miao's face was unhappy, but she knew she couldn't stop Xu Qingying. Xu Qingying seemed to see through her worries, took her hand and comforted her: "Mom, don't be afraid, it's just a corpse, just a pile of meat. If you are afraid If so, go and stay with dad and brother."

Miao was speechless and said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of corpses. I'm afraid that you won't be able to sleep after seeing the bloody scene. You are still a girl who has not yet left the government, why do you have to go to such a bloody thing?"

Leader Zhao scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed.

Also, in the moment of anxiety, I forgot that Miss Xu Si was still a 13-year-old girl.For some reason, Team Leader Zhao is now looking for Xu Qingying as soon as he encounters something.

"No." Xu Qingying neatly tied up her hair, revealing her smooth forehead, and her eyes were bright, but there was no trace of fear. "Mom, Team Leader Zhao came to me because he trusts me. And there is indeed a lot of people in this village. If there's something weird, I'll go take a look, you wait for me here."

After Xu Qingying finished speaking, she and Team Leader Zhao walked out.

Not long after Xu Qingying left, Xu Degui had just finished washing and changed into dry clothes and walked out. He saw the house empty and saw Mrs. Miao sitting in front of the Kang, dejected and sighing repeatedly.

As soon as Mrs. Miao saw him, she started to complain: "What do you think this is? The same goes for Leader Zhao. Why do you come to my Ying'er for everything now? She hasn't left the cabinet yet. There are so many dead people. I'm scared to see them." , and he even pulled Ying'er to make up his mind."

"Dead person?" Xu Degui was a little confused, "What kind of dead person?"

Remembering that Xu Degui didn't know about this, Miao made a general statement, "When we first arrived in the village, we found that the village was empty and there was not a trace of anyone. We thought that all the villagers had fled, but as soon as we entered the door We found so many dead people that we were so frightened that we almost left. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain, we would have packed up and left this unlucky place. No, a few brave people dragged the corpses to a house. Now Team Leader Zhao I’m looking for Ying’er to come up with an idea.”
