The Beautiful Land

"My Xi family is thin, and Xi Xing's people are suspected of buying for outsiders." Xi Fuwei said, "Now my father is ill, he is young, and I am a female stream. I don’t have any connections to get in touch. The only It’s my elder brother who has made friends with him outside. But his elder brother is gone. The so-called people go tea cold, those who he knew before his death, and now are willing to miss his old love, I am afraid there are very few."

The most important thing is, "Wen's family was in Dongchang Mansion only with his hands covering the sky. When my brother was in Dongchang Mansion, his elder brother was recognized as a great talent, but because of his age and his death, most of his reputation is still in Dongchang Mansion. inside."

"Even if those people are willing to help, I'm afraid they are powerless, and it will even drag them down..."

She frowned, pondered for a long time, and raised her head to say to Xi Lian, "The way of life for the Xi family today is to escape from Dongchang Mansion and go to a place where Wen's family can't reach! Second, it is to find Wen's family. Don't dare to make trouble!"

"But if the Wen family doesn't mean anything to us, it's fine, if there is..." Xi Lian hesitated, "I'm afraid we have been targeted inside and out, and we can't escape at all. Especially Sun Gongzi is young. Now, the master is still ill. Although you have learned some martial arts, it is your daughter's home. It is inconvenient to go out and it is difficult to take good care of you."

Xi Fuwei said: "I think so too...so I thought, our way out, I'm afraid it still falls on the sudden nobleman."

Xi Fuwei had already reminded how to find that noble person.

What Xi Lian is embarrassing now is: "If Wen Jia really wants to get along with that noble person, I'm afraid that someone will follow him now, our people can't get close at all?"

Moreover, "According to the young lady’s speculation, the man came for the purpose of crossing the river. He was obviously angry with Wen Jia, but he still calmed down. 80% of it was because Wen Jia was deeply rooted in Dongchang Mansion. The reopening of the canal was very useful. Their place. In this case, even if we try to show what Wen Jia has done to the nobleman, the nobleman may not pay attention to it, maybe, will it be handled by Wenjia?"

In that case, the Xi family would be more and more dead!

Xi Fuwei was about to answer, when there was a loud noise outside. The master and servant's face changed when they heard the sound, and they were about to ask, but there was already a little maid who stumbled in and said cryingly, "Miss, it's not good There is water in our house! I got up from the main house!"

"What?!" Xi Fuwei and Xi Lian were both shocked when they heard the words, they didn't care to inquire carefully, they rushed out, hurriedly ran back!

He ran wildly along the way, because Xi Zongwang learned that after Xi’s family was involved in the “blue jade case”, the fragile female family members were not a small number of lessons, so he raised his daughter as a son and taught culture and military. Not to allow foot binding, in the hope that once the family changes again, it will be able to survive more than the delicate girls who are raised in deep boudoirs.

At this moment, Xi Fuwei made three steps and two steps, even before Xi Lian ran to the main house where Xi Zongwang lived, and only when he arrived nearby, the heat of the tongue of fire spread over, but saw a group of servants carrying buckets and basins. , Are fighting the fire in a panic, but their efforts are a bit insignificant compared to the turbulent fire.

"Daddy ever saved it?" Xi Fuwei saw this, her pupils contracted suddenly, grabbed a maid next to her, and asked sharply!

The maid was frightened from the start, and she hurriedly helped under the scolding of other people. At this moment, she was grasped by her, and she became more and more panicked. She was incoherent for a long time. Xi Fuwei was irritated by herself. The steward said anxiously, "Miss, not only is the master still inside, but the grandson just came to see the master, and he is also inside!"

When Xi Fuwei heard the words, her eyes were almost black!

Xu Ye saw her face pale, and the steward hurriedly said, "I was just a little worried about the grandfather and grandson, so I made my own way and offered a reward of ten taels of silver, so that the people underneath would be wrapped in a quilt soaked in water to save people. Miss forgive me!"

"You did a great job!" Xi Fuwei took a sigh of relief and said quickly, "It's just that a dozen silver is too little. As long as there is nothing wrong with Dad and Jiao, you and the rescuer will go to the accountant. Receive one hundred taels of silver each!"

At this time, the county magistrate’s salary was only forty-five taels of silver throughout the year, and one hundred taels of silver is quite impressive. The steward and the people nearby heard that they were all gleeful, without Xi Fuwei's order. At the moment, there were two other servants who took off their coats and dipped them in a bucket, draped their heads, and poured water from their heads. After gritting his teeth, he rushed into the fire!

Under the reward, there is a brave husband. After a while, someone really rushed out with a small figure. This person should be the first person to go in. The quilt on his body has already been dried, and he looked like a burning man when he came out. After playing on the ground for a long time, people next to him were also busy splashing water on him. This put out the fire on the quilt, and he sat up, revealing Xi Jiao who was in his arms.

Xi Jiao was young and had been trapped in the fire scene for so long, and he told this man to roll on the ground several times. He was already very pale, looking pale and shaky.

The frightened Xi Fuwei hurried forward to check, urging people to invite the doctor, and then asked, "Where is Daddy?"

The servant who rescued Xi Jiao took a sigh of relief and said, "The little one is incompetent, so he can only bring one person out. The master insists on sending the younger son out first..."

"Thanks for your hard work!" Xi Fuwei's heart sank. Xi Zongwang is also a little old. He fainted in a violent fire before. The rescued Xi Jiao was so sluggish. I don't know how long Xi Zongwang can support. Live?

But now there are only a few people left in the Xi family. It's not that she cherishes herself and refuses to go to save her father in person. It's just that she is not sure to save Xi Zongwang. If she folds herself in, what will the young nephew do?

Who cares whether Xi's family has fallen into this situation because of bad luck or falling into a trap? !

Now he is forced to restrain himself and comfort himself: "Since Dad is awake, he will definitely find a way to take care of himself now. Only a few people have been rewarded and inspired by me to go in and save others. I think there will be good news soon. Up!"

It's just... after a long while, the people really joined forces to bring Xi Zongwang out, but at this time, Xi Zongwang had only one breath left!

There were many burns all over his body. He looked terrifying and his face was half ruined. If it weren't for father and daughter to get along day and night, they had never been separated for a long time in more than ten years, and those who were familiar with each other couldn't be familiar with each other...Xi Fuwei was simply I can't believe this is the father who was doing well half a day ago!

"...Okay...Okay!" Xi Zongwang, who was struggling to see his daughter's face, said this sentence, pointed at Xi Jiao, and wanted to say something, but his hand suddenly dropped!

Xi Fuwei knelt beside the corpse of his father's surplus temperature, her face was like paper, her mind was blank!

...I don't know how long it took, she heard her own voice say: "Uncle Lian, I am a little confused now, father's funeral... please help to preside, I... I'll take Jiao'er to see later ."

Xi Lian, who had looked at her worriedly for a while, immediately nodded: "Miss, go ahead, just leave it to the old slave here!"

Xu is because Xi Jiafuze is exhausted. Soon after Xi Fuwei took Xi Jiao away, Xi Lian, who was in front of the mourning hall, received the bad news again: The back hall is also in trouble!

Moreover, the magnitude of the fire and the rapid spread of it are as great as the main hall!

Xi Lian ordered the people to sound the gongs and drums, attracting people from several nearby villages to help fight the fire. For that matter, it burned for a long time and a night, and even spread to the entire mansion, the Daxi Mansion, and it disappeared!

Although almost all the subordinates escaped, none of the three Xi family masters were seen.

Even the bones of Xi Zongwang were the only ones. When Xi Lian saw that the situation was not good, he was ordered to carry them out first, and Xi Fuwei, the lady of the Xi family, and the grandson Xi Jiao, were both considered to be buried in the flames and dead!

Dongchang Mansion has not had such a tragedy in recent years, and there was a lot of discussion and talk about everything.

When he was clamoring, I saw someone wearing a plain suit, crying and crying, running over, calling him "Uncle", and bowing to Xi Zongwang's coffin, kowtow again and again.

Just a few knocks, the old housekeeper Xi Lian kicked his chest and angrily said: "Things that are so conscientious! The waste of the master and the son is so kind to you, you don't want to return, and collude with outsiders to plot the master. Not to mention the family property, now it is even more arson that the master’s family has been burned to death, and the blood of the master is severed. At this moment, dare to come over and cry for fake mercy?!"

The onlookers recognized that he was the only member of the Xi family, Xi Xing. Seeing that Xi Lian had done something with him, they were surprised and couldn't help in an uproar: "Is this real?"

Xi Lian said on the spot Xi Fuwei's previous inferences, only to conceal the matter of Wen's family, and the old tearful said: "The young lady was killed when she finished talking about this. It must be that this animal has an accomplice in Xi's mansion. Peek through the truth, the dog jumps the wall and kills people!"

"You old slave thief shouting to catch the thief!" Xi Xing yelled, "Who doesn't know that my uncle always treats me as if he is his own?! Our Xi family has settled in Dongchang Mansion for only a few decades. The people are thin and the uncle's family is gone. , I’m an orphan! Who doesn’t want my uncle to be good, it’s definitely not me! I think it’s your slave who bullied the Lord and wanted to take advantage of my cousin’s death to seize the property of the Xi family, but they were discovered by my uncle’s cousin and killed him. Pity my cousin is now in her prime and has not yet been out of the cabinet. My nephew is only six years old this year, only six years old!!!"

They couldn't argue with each other, and the crowd of onlookers couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and they were clamoring, and they could only go to court in the end.

When this grievance swept through the entire Dongchang Mansion and was talked about by people up and down, Yanzhou Mansion, which is adjacent to Dongchang Mansion, was on the way to Zhoucheng, while the old carriage was staggering. A timid voice: "Aunty... Uncle, I'm hungry."

In the carriage, Xi Fuwei recovered from her thoughts, touched her nephew’s head, and said softly: "Our dry food is gone, and the city of Yanzhou is in front of us. When we enter the city, my uncle will take you to eat dinner immediately, okay? ?"

Xi Jiao nodded obediently.

However, among the passengers in the same car, someone enthusiastically handed over dry food: "Little brother, don't make the children hungry, eat ours!"

Xi Fuwei smiled and refused one by one. At this moment, she disguised herself as a teenager, and her voice was deliberately lowered into a teenager's rough. After all, a female stream took Xi Jiao on the road alone, so naturally she had to be extra cautious. The person in the same car in front of me said that they met in peace, who knows what intentions?

If they do something in the dry food, wouldn't their aunt and nephew be overwhelmed?

Anyway, Xi Jiao was not hungry to the point of having an accident. Although he spoke politely, he was very determined.

After some concessions, everyone was somewhat disappointed. After putting away the dry food, they stopped talking. The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit embarrassing for a while.

But this is what Xi Fuwei is looking forward to...Take advantage of the fire to die and abscond from Dongchang Mansion with his nephew. The thrills during this period have left me with lingering fears!

In these days, she has barely closed her eyes, and now she has finally left Wen's family's territory, although it is still not safe, she can always breathe a sigh of relief!

She needs to think about it, what's the next step?
