Chapter 130: Collapse
"Hurry, hurry." Hu Xiu squatted next to the stove, urging the meat to cook quickly, and he couldn't help drooling.
Under his command, the cook has made orthodox sauerkraut fish, braised pork, Dongpo elbow, and back pot meat.
There are still potatoes roasted in the fire below, and when the dish is ready, the fire is extinguished, and it is almost ready to be taken out.
This potato and the like, you can really find it everywhere. It's easy to make, and it smells good.
The dishes are all on the plate, and the dishes are all good, and they smell very appetizing, "Yes, the craftsmanship is good." β
Naturally, it is good, how to stand out from many cooks and cook for Hu Xiu in the mansion, the craftsmanship will naturally not be bad.
"The patrol made my lord Miao." The cook hurriedly replied.
"Come on, bring all the dishes to my room." But it's impossible to put these dishes in the kitchen and start eating, and in the afternoon, I must take them back to the room and eat them slowly.
"Yes." These people were all waiting outside, and as soon as they heard Hu Xiu's order, they all served the dishes one by one, and with Hu Xiu, they all entered his house.
Hu Xiu has his own hands, and he is not idle, a big pot of white rice, he is really hungry, too hungry.
But when I entered the door, I was pleasantly surprised, just looking at the women sitting on the bed. The play was called free and easy, and he almost kicked Shadow Nine down.
Hu Xiu was dumbfounded, half of the attendants at the door had already come in, and the remaining half didn't know if they were close or out.
"Come in." It's all here, it's all delivered here, why do you have to deliver it to the door like a takeaway?
Hu Xiu wasn't worried that they would rob him of food, this greasy food, these girls were afraid when they saw the greasy, let alone eaten.
"What a thing, it smells so good." Only then did he put the thing down, and Lamu crawled over like a dog, like a strange species.
What a girl doesn't like to eat the most, she loves to eat the most.
"Meat~" Hu Xiu was already holding his pot of white rice, spreading all the braised pork on it, and was already eating.
"Dasha, give me a bite of the red meat in your basin." Lamu looked at Hu Xiu's pot full of red meat and said greedily.
"Look at that big elbow over there, you take it and gnaw it, don't come over and bother me." He actually fell in love with braised pork, extremely greasy, but sweet things, this thing shouldn't be loved by little girls.
"I don't want it! You are to eat the meat of your bowl. "This little guy has only been afraid of him for a few days, and he is worried about the meat in my bowl again, and he is so forgetful.
"If you don't give it, I'll smash the fish!" Lamu looked ruthless, like a little demon king in the world. This time, Hu Xiu was deflated, if she came to grab it, she would definitely not be able to grab it.
She took a detour and took his sauerkraut fish, so he was jealous. The women on the side watched with interest, and even laughed out loud when Lamu picked up the fish.
This little girl is really smart, and she also knows how to engage in tactics, and the average child encounters something that is not given, and then people are a little more ruthless, so they will rob it, how can they make these fancy things.
"You're amazing!" Hu Xiu was helpless, glanced at her viciously, put down the rice bowl, and saw her stretch out her hand to grab it.
"Wait a minute, you go to the kitchen and get a pair of chopsticks!" If her paw goes down, how will he eat it?
"Don't~" Lamu twisted his body and said coquettishly.
Hu Xiu looked at the chopsticks in his hand, he just ate a few bites, "Here you go, I'll go get the new ones myself." β
This man is not only ruthless, but also lazy. I turned around and went outside, and I had to go to the kitchen to get another pair of chopsticks.
But in this short period of time with chopsticks, Lamu didn't know how many pieces of braised pork he had eaten, and he didn't eat a bite of rice, so he snatched the rice bowl and gave it to her to eat, so he didn't have a bite of braised pork to eat.
Lamu looked at the rice bowl that disappeared in his hand, and muttered in a low voice, "It's so stingy, I don't even eat rice." β
Hu Xiu hated his ears for being too good for the first time, when this Lamu just ate, didn't he eat enough? I ate for a long time with my rice bowl, and then said casually, stingy?
I really wanted to kill this turtle and bear child, but Lamu knew that he was at a loss, and then he ate almost enough. The calves jumped, and he ran towards Hu Xiu's bed.
Hu Xiu's sharp eyes saw her mouth and palms full of oil, and shouted, "Stop her!" "Let her go up, and the sheets and covers have been washed.
Fortunately, there was a black kill, and he got out of bed quickly, picked up Lamu, and avoided this tragedy.
Hu Xiu looked happy, fortunately, fortunately, the husband Zhu on the side was still lying down, it could clearly feel Hu Xiu's mood, and conveyed his feelings sympathetically.
Humans and beasts look at each other, good brother, you still know me!
And me! Xuanniao said.
Hu Xiu was having a good time, but the Song family, who was thousands of miles away, finally counted it after a morning of investigation.
"The head of the family, the Song family now has a total of 25,651 people, and the number of people who have disappeared or died is one hundred and three, most of them are children and women." Song Yuan said to Song Yuzhi.
"One hundred and three dead? Mostly children and women? β
Song Yuzhi's face became gloomy, the Song family settled here so far, this is the first time that there are such a large number of dead and injured, and it is a natural disaster.
"Are you sure you're searching carefully?"
"Back to the head of the family, the main residence of the Song family and the nearby ten miles, we have searched it, and there are indeed so many people."
Hearing this, even if Song Yuzhi was unwilling, he could only nod helplessly and accept it.
"Inform everyone in the Song family that they should return home immediately now, and ask more among the neighbors. You go from house to house and make a list of the dead, and hurry up. β
Song Yuzhi seems ridiculous, but there is still such a set of things to do and manage.
"As for the problem of muddy roads..."Speaking of this, it is helpless, it is all mud, which is also no way, although there is a road paved with bluestone floors, but most of them are not paved.
"Alas~ Forget it, call my third grandfather over again."
The guard took the order and went again, and after a while, an old man flew over alone, Song Yuzhi saw it, and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Third Grandfather~"
"Nephew, what are you looking for me?" These three grandfathers are the grandfathers who saved people for a night last night.
"Third grandfather, I think this flood is strange, can you work a little more and go to the source of the flood to take a look?"
"Well, I'm just going to go, and since you're saying it now, I'll be tired again."
The third grandfather laughed and flew out, and after a while, he came back with helplessness on his face.
"Third grandfather, what's going on over there?"
"A dam over there burst and was supposed to flow elsewhere, but the way out was blocked, and that's why it flowed towards us."
"So, it was an accident?" Song Yuzhi can only understand it this way.
"Alas~ I went to see it, the blocked place is not man-made, and it can only be an accident."
It's really unlucky, and even stuffed his teeth with cold water.
But they didn't know that all these so-called "accidents" were all thought to be Fu Zhu, this guy was really terrifying.
The Song family gradually returned to their original residence, and each family united and helped each other, all with the same surname. There was nothing to say, but the atmosphere was a little heavy.
But not far from the county seat of Hehua, in a small village, in a dilapidated house, a boy, dressed luxuriously, with fine skin and tender meat, sat there expressionless, like a dead corpse.
There was a sudden knock at the door, and he stood up vigilantly and shouted in a childish voice, "Who?" β
"Little master, it's me."
"Uncle Da?" The boy looked happy, ran over quickly, pushed open the wooden door, and made a sound of "crunch~crunch~", which had long since decayed.
The room was dark and damp, with a missing arm, a dilapidated table, and thankfully a bed.
"Uncle Da sits." The little boy sensibly took the stool that was missing an arm, and it was the only one in the room that could sit on it.
"Little master, I'll take it myself." The one who was called Uncle Da is not small, with gray hair, and he is already an old man.
Uncle Da took the chair and sat down, but he also knew that the chair was missing a corner, but he was afraid of hurting the little master's heart, so he also sat down.
"Uncle Da, have you heard the news that my father still has my mother?" The boy said urgently.
"I heard it, Brother Protector, he ......" Uncle Da looked at the child's expectant look, and his heart was ruthless, "He's dead." β
"What" the boy sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul. His father is so powerful, his martial arts are so strong, how can he die?
"How is it possible, my fatherβ" His eyes filled with tears.
"But he's dead, little master, mourn~" Uncle Da had to stop his fantasies, at this time, they were no longer qualified to fantasize.
"What about my mother?" The boy continued.
"Brother Hu, he is in Lotus County, he is very popular, Yun Jing is now working as a washerwoman in a big family, although he is tired, he will not be humiliated because of this."
When the boy heard that his mother had become a washerwoman, he felt uncomfortable for a while, but he accepted it. He lowered his head and said no more.
"Little master, we all have to live in this village in the future."
"A lifetime of incognito?" The boy seemed to know everything.
"The official family already knows about the Lu family, and recently secretly sent a group of young children out of Lotus County, they have already started to investigate, and now they can only pray that we will not be caught."
Uncle Da was old, and after doing this for a long time, his legs were numb, so he had to stand up and walk around the house to relax his legs.
"I'd rather be arrested by the officials!" The boy's words were astonishing, causing the uncle to exclaim.
"Little master, no, if you are arrested, even if you are not beheaded, you will be sent into slavery."
The uncle hurriedly covered the boy's mouth, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense.
"Are we going to be so aggrieved?" The boy's eyes were unyielding, but they were extremely calm.
"Alas~ Little master, the reality is already like this, and the official family can't fight. Bringing the Lu family down, they are just moving their fingers.
It is rumored in this city that it was because the Lu family wanted to rebel and killed the magistrate of Lotus County. Later, he was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, and no one could escape. β
You have to see, this exception is out of a version, the more wrong people say, the more it is passed on, and in the end, few can be the truth.
"Did you kill the magistrate?" The boy's eyes were a little dazed, was the Lu family at fault first? He didn't believe that his upright father would be treasonous.
From an early age, his father taught him what a country is and what a home is. It is the country that comes first, and then there is a home.
In his eyes, his father has always been a righteous county lieutenant, who guards the peace of Lotus County every day, is conscientious, and is also good to his mother, and is a person who is loyal to the country and loves his family.
It was the object of his adoration.
Until now, Uncle Da had told the boy that his father was probably a traitor. His faith seems to have collapsed...
"No way, he's my father, he can't do that!"
The boy kept shaking his head, he could accept that his father died because of something else, but he couldn't accept it, he died because of treason!
Eyes from the corners of his eyes flowed down his cheeks. His father said that the boy did not flick his tears, so even when he first learned that he was dead, his eyes tried to keep him from crying.
But at this moment, he can't help it anymore, no matter how mature his mind is, he is still an eight-year-old child.
Uncle Da looked at the little young master's crying appearance, and his heart was also distressed, this child was grown up by him, he knew very well how well-behaved he was.
On weekdays, even if he was beaten by his father, he would not shed a single tear, but at this moment, he cried into a tearful person.
"Alas~" Fate makes people, what a good child, how can this Lu family say that treason is treason?
It's a misery for women and children! He, an old man, didn't have a few years to live, so he didn't have much to do.
But a few years later, if I die, the little master is still so young, what should he do alone?
Uncle Da looked sad, but at this time, the boy stopped crying, wiped his tears, and his face was firm.
"Uncle Da, I want to change my surname, is it okay?"
