Chapter 42: Walking the Water

"What!" When He heard this, he stood up in shock.

Chu Weilin sighed in her heart, the East Cross Courtyard was Aunt Xia's residence.

For a moment, only the sound of Mrs. Zhang's rapid breathing could be heard in the room.

Chu Lunyu was also stunned, he quickly came back to his senses, and seeing that his mother was a little panting, he hurriedly got up and added a cup of tea himself.

Mrs. Zhang didn't answer, she gently pushed it away, she took a deep breath, and lifted the thick blanket covering her legs: "Lunfeng, Lunyu, help me out to see." ”

Holly put on brocade shoes for Mrs. Zhang, and her two sons supported her left and right, and walked out.

He followed behind, Chu Weiyi was uneasy, clenched Chu Weilin's hand, and the two sisters followed out together.

As soon as I lifted the navy blue curtain of the main house, a smell of burnt mixed with the cold winter wind came to my face.

Old Lady Zhang walked through the verandah, stopped at the corner gate leading to the East Cross Courtyard, and looked coldly at the East Cross Courtyard that was on fire in front of her.

The smell of smoke was a little heavy, and Chu Weiai accidentally choked and coughed again and again.

Chu Weilin patted her on the back while observing the situation around.

Xu didn't find it in time enough, the fire in the east courtyard was not small, the three rooms were on fire, crackling sound, facing the fire, you could see the shadow of the furniture in the house.

Mother Zhao led a group of rough mothers-in-law to pounce buckets of water into the house, and Mother Yu replied to the masters, saying that she had sent someone to call for manpower.

The Li family led Chu Weichen and Chu Weixuan on the left and right, standing in the courtyard like a wooden chicken, Chu Lunxu cried and shouted to rush in to find someone, and called the two mothers-in-law to stop them back, and sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, everywhere has not yet turned off the lights, the fire-fighting manpower came quickly, but only two large tanks in this Yishun Hall were prepared with water, which was not enough to save the East Cross Courtyard, and the mothers-in-law had to carry buckets to the well and lake to go back and forth.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Yu's mother's face became more and more ugly, and when she was directing the people, she even accidentally caused the burst sparks to fall on her head, burning a tuft of hair.

Chu Weilin made her eyes hurt from the smoke, and she couldn't help but look away, and when she saw Lu's mother standing not far away, she hurriedly beckoned her over: "Mom, Wei Cong is sleeping in the blue yarn cupboard, go and wake him up." ”

The east courtyard is in the east, and the blue yarn cabinet is located in the west room of the main house, although it is far away, Lu's mother is still a little worried, and she is afraid that this person will disturb Chu Weicong, so she hurriedly entered.

In the end, in winter, even if the fire in front of him is soaring, faintly stabbing the face and face, but the cold wind is blowing, and people shiver in the end.

Seeing this, Yu's mother came over and said, "Old lady, this fire can't be saved for a while, the east cross courtyard is close to the main house, and the slave maid is afraid of ......" Yu's mother paused when she said this, and said tentatively, "Old lady, go and rest elsewhere for a while." ”

He has been taking care of the third room for some time, and after the initial panic, he calmed down at this time, and echoed: "Mother Yu is right, old lady, this is the closest to my Xiyi Courtyard, why don't you go to my place." I'll leave it to me and Yu's mother. ”

Old Lady Zhang stood straight, half of her face reflected the firelight, her eyes were sharp and deep, her hand holding Chu Lunyu tightened a little, slowly hooked the corners of her lips, glanced at the concubine who was crying breathlessly, and her tone was extremely calm: "That's it." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Zhang turned around, and when she passed by Chu Weilin's side, she said, "Go and call Wei Cong." ”

Chu Weilin lowered her head and said, "Mother Lu has already gone." ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she nodded reassuringly, and said, "You and Wei Cong both go to Xiyi Courtyard with me." ”

There was a fire dragon burning in Qinghui Garden, but after all, it was her residence, Chu Weicong was no longer small, there was no reason to live in his sister's house, the main courtyard was now uninhabited, and it was cold, how could people rest.

Chu Weilin nodded.

Chu Lunfeng and Chu Lunyu helped Mrs. Zhang to go over first, Chu Weilin waited for Chu Weicong to come out, and escorted Chu Weiyi to Xiyi Courtyard together.

Only the He family, who is in charge, and Chu Lunxu, who refuses to leave, and the Li family and the two children who accompany him are left in Yishun Hall.

In the courtyard of Western Italy, the lights are bright.

Mrs. Zhang lay in the warm pavilion and closed her eyes to recuperate, Chu Weicong lost her sleepiness, and she didn't dare to say much, so she sat with her two sisters obediently.

Chu Lunfeng led Chu Lunyu into the study and spoke behind closed doors.

When the day was about to dawn, He came back exhausted, and cheered up and replied to Mrs. Zhang: "The fire is all extinguished, but fortunately it is the west wind and it does not burn to the main house." Chongqing's mother led the people to count ......"

Old Mrs. Zhang slowly raised her eyes, and her cold eyes stared at He Shi and shuddered: "Let's just say it, what about people?" ”

There was a chill behind He's back, and he said, "I found two ...... It's blackened...... it's not clear" Seeing that the old lady Zhang was still staring at her, she stiffened her head and gritted her teeth, "Someone has come to see it, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, it should be cardamom; Another half-hundred-year-old cannot be asserted......"

Mrs. Zhang's eyes suddenly tightened, and after a while, she burst into laughter, but at the end of the laugh burst into tears: "It's out, I really didn't expect that after pretending to be in front of me for decades, I would be so promising." ”

Holly relieved Mrs. Zhang again and again, Chu Weilin looked at her and wiped the tears on her face, her chest couldn't help but rise and fall, as if she was really heartbroken.

There are three people in the East Cross Courtyard, except for Aunt Xia, one is the maid Cardamom, and the other is the mother-in-law Li's mother.

Cardamom was found, but what about the other corpse? Half a hundred years old, is it Mother Li or Aunt Xia? Where did the other person go?

After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and then quietly looked at the depressed old lady Zhang, Chu Weilin thought about her words.

Who is that "out of breath" talking about?

Is it Aunt Xia, who was pinched in the palm of her hand by Mrs. Zhang, and could only be sick? Or Chu Lunxu, who couldn't bear to let her aunt suffer, so as to let her escape?

Still is......

Or is this qiē a play directed and acted by the tearful old lady Zhang in front of her in order to put Aunt Xia to death?

It seems that every one of them is possible, and for a while, like a fog, I can't figure it out, I can't guess it thoroughly.

Unconsciously, the sky was bright, the lanterns in the courtyard of Xiyi were extinguished, and Mrs. Zhang, who had not slept all night, insisted on going back to Yishun Hall despite the persuasion of everyone, and the group could only send her over.

Chu Weilin stepped into the Yishun Hall, there was still the smell of burning wood in the air, she looked in the direction of the east courtyard, and the scene that caught her eyes made people feel very uncomfortable-
