Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 113 Set fire (3)
Xianglai said: "In terms of minerals, Xu Zongde dug a private gold mine in the mountains south of Yanjiang Village, but right now, it seems that there will not be much gold produced."

When he first heard that Xianglai's father died in a private mine, Luo Jinxing sent someone to investigate. He also knew that the gold mine did not produce much gold. Due to various reasons, he did not deal with the matter.Listening to Xianglai now, he also said: "In fact, there are several private gold mines in the back of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the ones with slightly larger reserves were taken over by the imperial court. These small troubles are not worth the negotiation of Gaoli's teachers. .”

When Luo Jinxing said this, Xianglai suddenly remembered Yu Zixi, the old man with a severed hand, and the words he had passed on to them.

She flickered for a moment, thinking: Yu Zixi is from Korea, and his father died in that small gold mine, and said such a strange sentence before he died... There is a big dragon under the gold mine, big dragon, big dragon ...Dalong is generally used to describe very important things. I used to think that he hid important things for Yu Zixi under the gold mine, but now it seems that there may be other more valuable veins under the gold mine!In this way, is it possible that their father and son are the secret agents sent by Goryeo?No wonder Yu Zixi keeps sending things to herself, it seems that she wants to keep her mouth shut and not reveal this news...

Seeing her thinking, Luo Jinxing asked, "Why, did you remember anything?"

Although she found out that she was being used by Yu Zixi, Xianglai thought that after all, Yu Zixi was not mean to her, and she tried her best to seal her mouth with money. Put it in your heart.So he said, "Well, I think of my father."

Luo Jinxing originally wanted to ask her about meeting the old man with a severed hand, but he got the news from Xu Che, so he didn't know how to ask the question, but he got distracted after hearing Xianglai's words, and said, "Actually, if you want to deal with Xu Zongde, you don’t have to take the risk yourself, I can help you solve it.”

Xianglai said: "I know this. If I wanted you to help me, I would have asked for it a long time ago. It's just that it was my father's revenge, so our siblings should avenge it in person, so that parents can be truly happy even under the nine springs." Peace of mind."

Luo Jinxing pursed his lips, thinking that this woman was really persistent, and said, "Okay, that's up to you, but if you feel that you are struggling, come to me, and I will definitely help you deal with it."

Xianglai smiled lightly and said, "What's more, Luo Dadong's dragon can't see the end, I don't know where to find you until now."

"Uh..." Luo Jinxing smiled awkwardly, and said: "Although my family lives in the capital, I am often away. If there is anything to do, I can only send someone to send a letter. If you have anything to do, you can go to Longsheng Bank to find the shopkeeper. He will Pass the letter to me."

Xiang Lai thought to himself: "If there is something urgent, what's the use of making such a fuss and dying a hundred times before you come here?"

Even though she thinks so, she doesn't like to rely on others by nature. If it wasn't for the fact that Luo Jinxing has a share in this farm, she might not even ask for the contact information, so she said: "Okay, I will let them pass on something important to you. Believe it."

It was getting late after dinner, and this Zhuangzi had enough rooms for living. Xu Che knew that Luo Xing was going to stay here, and Huiling had already packed it up. Luo Jinxing, Xu Lin, and An Guang lived here.

Although Xianglai was very tired after a busy day, she was extremely worried about the lease of land in Korea. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. I vaguely think of the night again.

After lying on the kang for a long time, she got up and put on her coat and walked out of the room in the dark.

At this time, it was nearly Youshi, and it was the darkest time before dawn. She opened the door and looked outside, but saw a small piece of light shaking outside the courtyard wall, as if someone was lighting a torch.

There was a time when a big pillar lit a rice stack, and Xianglai was extremely vigilant. She immediately stood at the door and shouted loudly: "It's not good, someone set fire!"

In the dead of night, the shouting was very clear.

Although the long-term workers living in the wing room slept soundly, Xu Lin, Xu Che, An Guang and others were all very energetic. When they were with Luo Jinxing, they all slept with one eye open.

After hearing Xiang Lai's yell, the three of them quickly got up and came out.

While shouting about Xianglai, people outside the courtyard had already thrown lighted torches into the wall.

In the southeast corner of the courtyard wall, there used to be a pile of sorghum stalks left over from the spring, but now, for some reason, they are spread out in bundles around the wall, enclosing the entire yard.

It was summer, and the sorghum stalks were so dry that they burned when touched with a fire. If the fire was not rescued in time, the wooden agricultural tools in the yard would soon be set on fire. At that time, the fire surrounded the house, and people inside the house could not escape. .

Fortunately, Xiang Lai found out in time, and Xu Che and Brother Xu Lin reacted super quickly. After rushing out the door, they saw the fire by the wall starting to burn. They went up and pulled out the burning place with a sword. burn up.

But at this time, the sorghum stalks placed around the back courtyard wall were also set on fire, and the fire was raging. Although there were few flammable things on the back courtyard wall and there was a certain distance from the house, it would definitely burn if it continued like this. come over.

Xianglai hurriedly ran to the east and west hatchbacks, patted the windows and shouted: "Get up and put out the fire, get up and put out the fire!"

Dachang, Shunzi and other men from Yanjiang Village lived with the long-term workers. They were all tired all day, and they were sleeping soundly at this time. After hearing Xianglai's yell, they arched up in a daze, and ran outside shirtless. , Noisily followed to fight the fire.

The female relatives such as Osmanthus, Xiufen, and Huiling who lived with Xianglai were also awakened, hurriedly put on their clothes and went outside, and also found water basins, wooden barrels, etc. to fetch water with Dachang, Shunzi, and the long-term workers. Extinguishing.

Finally, it was extinguished in time. After all the fuss, except for the pile of firewood piled up by the wall, which was partially burned, there was no major loss in the rest, and the house was not burned at all.

And Xu Che and Xu Lin went out of the yard when everyone went to fight the fire, and caught the two people who set the fire by looking for the sound.

After confirming that the fire was safe, Xianglai and Luo Jinxing stood at the door and asked Xu Che and Xu Lin to escort the two of them over.

Xianglai looked at the two of them, and found that one of them turned out to be Fan Limin, a long-term laborer in Zhuangzi.This person was not among those transferred by Xu Zongde. He said that he wanted a few long-term laborers and asked the steward of Hengjiu Village to help find him. He is prudent in doing things, he can afford and let go of all kinds of tasks, and he is very handy in using them. I thought he would be a manager or something, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing.

Xianglai asked sullenly, "Fan Limin, why did you set fire?!"

Fan Limin tried to get away with it, but was held down by Xu Lin and knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Boss, I am wronged. I didn't set fire, I put out fire. This brother caught me wrong!"
