Chapter 49: What to Do in the Future?
Hmph, it's not that the seventh sister insisted on asking the little Jia family to write a confession, which caused this kind of thing. "If it weren't for the seventh sister, how could there be today's disaster. It's basically the seventh sister's disaster, if something happens to Liang'er, I won't let you go.
The eldest lady looked at Hong Qi with resentment.
She didn't dare to resent the old lady, so she had to blame everything on Hong Qi.
However, she also knew that if she scolded Hong Qi at this time, she would definitely be scolded by the old lady in front of everyone. Therefore, he could only silently look at Red Seven with resentment.
"Mother, don't be like this, the old lady will find out."
When Hong Wu saw it, he quietly persuaded the eldest lady.
"When I found out, I found that they were all fine. It's just my poor good son. Seeing them all elated, none of them worried about him. Liang'er is the eldest son of our red family's eldest son. ”
The eldest lady said hatefully, but the volume was still low.
"I don't know if my dad will be okay."
Red Five was worried about the authentic again.
When the eldest lady heard this, she let out a cold snort from her nose.
"He? What can happen in the temple? I'm afraid that a few of our mothers were killed in the Hong family, and he is still alive and well! Why are you worried about him? ”
When it comes to the eldest master, the eldest lady has an indescribable anger.
Hong Wu secretly called himself bad, so he didn't dare to mention it, but he was silently worried in his heart.
The old man is obsessed with Taoism, lives in the Taoist temple, and is not at home all year round, even if he does not come back for the New Year. The old lady probably doesn't have his son anymore, and the eldest lady doesn't have the right to have this husband.
is only red five, and there is always a concern for his father. She can't forget that when she was young, there was also a time when her father touched her head, and the palm in her memory was so generous and made people feel safe.
And Aunt Feng finally got the news that the bearded man brought back, and her face was like ice. All kinds of calculations and plans, but they ended up with such a result. It was also in her heart that she saw that she was in and out of the Hong family a few days ago as if she was in a no-man's land, so she looked down on the red family and never let people monitor it day and night. As a result, the red family took advantage of the vacancy.
However, this old lady of the Hong family is really not an ordinary person, so decisive. As soon as he found out that something was wrong, he immediately fled with his family overnight, and lost his family property without any hesitation.
is really worthy of being the husband of a woman, and it is not too unjust to be planted in the hands of such a person.
Luckily -
Looking at the other team of people who were tied back, Aunt Feng's tense face finally relaxed a little.
With him, it won't be impossible to make a difference.
And Hong Junliang trembled in horror and kowtowed repeatedly: "Spare your life." I will give you all the money you want, and do not kill me, do not kill me. ”
As he spoke, a strange smell emanated from him.
Feng Gu frowned, disgusted in her heart.
And the bearded man stunted him with the back of his knife, and said disdainfully: "Useless waste, I really should let you go to the sea to feed the sharks." ”
The chaotic night gradually passed, and when the sky was shining through the white belly of the fish, the people of the Hong family, who had not slept all night and were frightened, finally let out a long breath.
It should be truly fine!
On this night, they stayed on the boat, although they supposedly got rid of the thieves, but they did not dare to be careless, nor did they dare to turn on the lights, nor did they dare to make a sound, and they were afraid that they would be accidentally discovered by the thieves.
The night was so long and cold that they hid together, shivering, helpless and afraid.
But, the sky, finally dawned.
"It's a fishing boat, I see a fishing boat!"
Someone shouted with joy.
The fisherman's soft Jiangnan minor tune is so kind and peaceful, and this familiar local accent makes people feel like they have returned to their mother's arms. This voice finally made people believe that they were truly at peace.
Hong Qi supported the old lady and stood at the bow of the boat, the morning sun broke through the clouds, dyeing the clear river water a faint red. On the water, fishing boats slowly row out, and in the distance, the smoke rises slowly, and faintly laughter can be heard.
The red family shook each other's hands, hugged and laughed.
It's just that he can't let go of Hong Junliang's eldest wife and Hong Wu in his heart, and he can't help but show a happy smile on his face.
"Great! That's great! We survived. ”
After laughing, I don't know who suddenly asked such a sentence.
"What will I do in the future?"
In a word, it makes people's hearts become heavy.
Suddenly, Fang Cai's joy was swept away.
Yes, it is worth rejoicing to have escaped this fate, but what about the future? After experiencing this qiē, Qinghe County, the home where they had lived all their lives, was now like a huge monster that had been opening its mouth wide, waiting for its prey to be caught, which made people so frightened.
The faces of the people became panicked and uneasy, and at this time, their eyes involuntarily looked at one person—the old lady!
It was the old lady who led them to escape - they didn't know that it was Red Seven who found out about this qiē and reported it to the old lady.
The old lady is the anchor in everyone's hearts.
It is a mountain of the Red family that will never fall.
No matter how much things have passed, old lady, there is always a way. This is what the years have told them, and the old lady has never let them down.
This time, too.
The old lady's expression was so calm and firm that nothing could make the old lady flustered or shaken.
She looked ahead without the slightest hesitation.
"Capital!"
"Let's go to the capital!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
In the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is Princess Runan, the eldest lady of their red family! The old lady once again gave them hope.
The capital, there, there will be their new home.
At this time, the people of the capital did not know that there was a family from such a remote small county town, which was about to set off a monstrous wave in the center of this empire.
Red Family!
In the splendid prosperity of Kyoto, it will be one of the most shining pearls.
This year, the Hong family spent it on the journey.
For others, the taste of the New Year is joy, reunion, and excitement...... For the Hong family, there are only worries and worries about the future and the fatigue and bitterness of the journey.
In order to prevent the Zhou family from refusing to give up and be careful, under the arrangement of the old lady, the Hong family divided several groups of people to take different roads and go to the capital. It took more than a month for several groups of people to arrive one after another. Fortunately, God has eyes, and there have been some things encountered during the journey, but in the end, they all arrived safely.
And a few months later, the descendants of the Hong family also arrived under the leadership of the second, third, and fourth masters.
It turned out that after the old lady arrived in the capital, she told the third master to go back to Qinghe County to see what the situation was there. As a result, the second master. The fourth master rushed home for the New Year, but he arrived before him.
Then, the brothers met and came to the capital together. The house in Qinghe County was guarded by only a few old servants.
At this point, the Hong family has completely moved their family to the capital.
And from the mouths of the few old men who came back, everyone also learned about the situation after they left.
That night, more than 100 pirates made trouble in Qinghe County, and the defenders of Qinghe County were hundreds, but they were burned by more than a dozen pirates. Not to mention protecting Qinghe County, hundreds of people are nested in the camp and dare not come out. Still, I don't know how long the pirates left, and Meixian Ling sent someone to call it, so these useless guys dared to take the lead.
And because of their uselessness, this night, Qinghe County was completely ravaged. In particular, several large families in the county, such as the Su family, the Zhang family, and the Yu family, were bloodied by pirates, and several of the young ladies and grandmothers in the family were taken captive, and almost all the men were killed.
Only the fool of the Zhang family had a good life, he was slashed several times, but he didn't die and escaped. However, he disappeared somehow and disappeared nowhere.
The pirates also broke into the Red House and killed several of the guards. However, after finding out that the Hong family was gone, he stayed in the house for a while, and then somehow, he retreated. It's just that in this huge mansion, there is no owner, and the people below are ready to move, and the subordinates have fled a lot, and a lot of things in the master's house have been stolen, and even the treasury has been pried open, and a lot of things have been stolen away.
Although Cedar and Crane tried their best to organize a group of people to protect them, the master was not there, and the words of the two girls were not as convincing as before. In addition, there are rumors outside that they don't know where to go, saying that whoever saw the people of the Red Family was caught and killed by pirates. In such cases, fewer people listen to them. Fortunately, at this time, the spring breeze and Xia Xi in the Red Seventh Courtyard stood up with the subordinates of the Wutong Courtyard and helped a lot, so it didn't get out of control.
Rao is like this, and when the second master arrives home, the loss in the Red Mansion is also very heavy.
They counted the rest of the things together and brought them to the capital. Afterwards, the third wife looked at the account books and said that at least two-thirds of the things were gone. If the second master goes back a little later, it is estimated that there will be less land left.
And the eldest lord decided to stay in Qinghe County, unwilling to come to the capital; The second young master, Hong Junliang, was missing after that night. Some say that he was also killed by pirates in black; Some say that he was captured by pirates in black, but there are different accounts.
This time, although the Hong family was hurt a little bit and suffered a lot of financial losses, fortunately, the silver ticket, the title deed, and the house deed were brought out. The population of the Hong family is not large, and the old lady is a good family, and her property is quite surplus, even if she lives in the capital, it is more than enough.
Buying new furniture and all kinds of household utensils, tidying up, tidying up, cleaning, in the busy, the red family is gradually recovering the vitality of the past, and people's faces are gradually glowing with new brilliance.
At this time, an incident that made the situation that gradually became clear fell into a haze again.
The backbone of the Red family, the old lady, is sick!
