In 1909, the first year of Xuantong, at the end of November, the first snow in Guizhou finally came. Overnight, the outside world was dressed in a silver coat.

Because there are no factories and no pollution, the snow here is exceptionally white and pure. Unlike the snow of later generations, which may be mixed with dust, it does not look so white and pure.

Chen Liqing, who was still in the warm bed, heard the news that it was snowing, and immediately bounced up from the bed, put on a casual piece of clothing, and rushed straight into his yard. Then looking at the white and pure snow without the slightest pollution, he stayed for a moment, and then couldn't help but grab a handful and feed it directly into his mouth.

At that moment, Chen Liqing seemed to taste the snow as sweet, and the snow was also clean, a coolness flowed directly from his throat to his heart, and in an instant, it seemed to wash and purify the pollution on his body and heart.

At that moment, Chen Liqing suddenly burst into tears, and then he shouted loudly to the sky and the snow under the gaze of Erde, Xiaoya, and his mother.

He's excited, he's excited, because he's got a mouthful of pure snow, and it's free!

He couldn't express the feeling in his heart at all, he could only shout to heaven and earth, expressing the excitement, excitement, and remorse in his heart......

But the consequence was that he had a cold.

Winter, this is winter, Chen Liqing has not undergone any space turbulence transformation and has a super strong body, he is just an ordinary person, he got up early in the morning and went crazy, he hasn't worn many clothes, it's strange if he doesn't catch a cold.

"Ah...... Ahh ”

Sitting by the warm stove, although it was warm, Chen Liqing couldn't help but sneeze and wipe his nose.

The consequences of going crazy are so cruel...... Chen Liqing wiped his nose, but he didn't regret it at all.

"Xiaoqing, come on, who told you to come early in the morning without wearing clothes and shouting, you kid, it's not like you haven't seen snow - quick, drink the ginger soup." The old mother happened to come over with a bowl of ginger soup, and when she heard Chen Liqing's sneezing, she couldn't help but count Chen Liqing down.

"Hehe, mother, I was wrong, I won't dare next time." Chen Liqing didn't dare to refute, he could only smile wryly, took the ginger soup and killed it in one bite.

"Ouch, hot—" But as soon as he took a big sip, he couldn't help but spit it out.

"Ah, Brother Qing!" Xiaoya next to her couldn't help but scream.

"Ouch, look at you kid, you don't even know it's hot. Silly child, come, mother will feed you! Seeing Chen Liqing being burned, the queen mother was distressed and blamed.

Chen Xiaoya's little eyes were also full of worry.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay." In the face of the two, Chen Liqing could only smirk, Chen Mingren watched from the side and did not speak, but there was concern in his eyes.

Chen Liqing drank ginger soup, looked around at the three people next to him, and took in their expressions, only feeling very happy and warm now, just thinking that it would continue like this.

However, he was destined not to settle down, and this warmth did not last long, and suddenly Erde's hurried voice sounded outside.

"It's not good, it's not good, young master, it's a life, it's a life!"

Boom!

As soon as the voice fell, Erde rushed open the door, and then quickly exhaled the visible qi in his mouth, and after inhaling a few times, he looked up at Chen Mingren's family of four who were staying by the stove, and said again: "Master, little master, it's not good, it's dead!" ”

This time, Chen Liqing and Chen Mingren looked at each other: Someone died?

They all saw the confusion in their eyes.

Ten minutes later, on the street of Binh Viet.

"Quick, be careful, be careful, young master, it's at the north gate, Zhao's hometown...... Teacher Zhang and the second young master have already rushed over. Erde anxiously walked in front and said while walking, Chen Mingren and Chen Liqing followed quickly behind, but the road was too slippery in the snow, and Chen Mingren was not very good.

Zhao Lao, who had an accident in Erde's mouth, was the long-term worker of Chen Mingren's family, and he was fine last night, but because of the snow this morning, the maid Xiaolian thought that it might be inconvenient for Zhao Lao to come to Chen's house alone, so she was ready to call Zhao Lao together. Where did I think, when I walked to Zhao's house and knocked for a long time, no one answered, Xiaolian felt that something was wrong, and finally called someone to help, who knows, as soon as I entered the house, I found that Zhao Lao was actually frozen to death on the bed.

"Zhao Lao was fine last night, who would have thought that he would go this morning, you know, the old man and the young master did not treat Zhao Lao badly, and even added an extra quilt to Zhao Lao when it was cold. The second young master also asked me a few days ago to give Zhao Lao and Xiao Master a newly developed honeycomb coal stove to warm Zhao Lao, Zhao Lao is in good health and very tough, why did he die? When Erde walked and spoke, he still didn't believe the fact that Zhao Lao was dead.

It's not right to say that he died of cold, he said that he died of illness, Zhao Lao's body is also very tough, he often goes to the field to help work, and there is no disease, Erde can't figure it out, how can such a healthy old man say that he will die when he dies.

However, hearing Erde's complaint, Chen Liqing suddenly stopped, and suddenly grabbed Erde: "Erde, what did you just say?" ”

"Honeycomb coal stove? What do you mean? ”

Chen Liqing looked at Erde very seriously, which made Chen Mingren involuntarily look at Chen Liqing: "Xiaoqing, why did you suddenly stop?" Honeycomb coal, you guys made that? ”

Chen Liqing turned his head to look at Chen Mingren, looking very guilty: "Dad, I'm afraid I know how Grandpa Zhao died......

Their family all knew that Zhao Lao's health was very good, and just now Chen Liqing was also thinking about how Zhao Lao would die.

Zhao Lao is a carpenter in the Chen family, and he has been working in the Chen family since Chen Liqing's grandfather. Chen Liqing thought that it would develop in the future, and let Zhao Lao open a class to pass on the carpenter craft, but he never thought that such a tough old man would die. And when he heard Erde's words, he finally understood it all at once.

Honeycomb coal!

Five minutes later, Chen Liqing looked at Zhao Lao's dark face on the bed of Zhao's family, and turned his head to everyone: "Sure enough, it's carbon monoxide poisoning, honeycomb coal!" Dad, I'm sorry Grandpa Zhao! ”

With a snap, Chen Liqing knelt down towards Chen Mingren.

Next to Zhao Lao's bed, Chen Liqing saw the honeycomb coal stove that was still emitting warmth, and when he entered the house, he also smelled a large smell of carbon monoxide, and now after reading Grandpa Zhao's face, he was more sure of Zhao Lao's cause of death.

Carbon monoxide poisoning!

It's the honeycomb coal in the honeycomb coal stove that is to blame!

And the honeycomb coal was made by him, that is to say, the cause of Grandpa Zhao's death can be traced to Chen Liqing.

In the past few days, as the weather slowly gets colder, the people of Pingyue have to endure the cold of winter, but the Chen family, no, the Agricultural Products Recycling and Processing Corporation has sent news again, saying that their company has developed a new stove that can help people keep out the cold, cook and so on.

Honeycomb coal stove.

As soon as the honeycomb coal stove came out, coupled with Chen Liqing's marketing plan, plus the cheapness of honeycomb coal, in just one week, most people in Pingyue County used the honeycomb coal stove to heat and cook.

And until now, the new product of honeycomb coal stove is still very popular, and the sales volume continues to rise every day. Because the effect is good, the cattle farm and Fengshan in the county town next to it are interested in buying, and in recent years, Pingyue alone can throw away more than 10,000 honeycomb briquettes every day with the remaining honeycomb briquettes.

As soon as this product came out, it recovered the loss situation of Pingyue Agricultural Products Corporation, and now the company can make a lot of profits every day by specializing in the production of briquettes.

This period of time, but it was when Chen Liqing, Chen Liqun, Zhang Xianmo and others were happy and excited. However, who would have thought that now that this kind of thing has not yet been popularized, their Chen family has encountered this kind of crisis.

Poisoned, and dead!

Chen Liqun and Zhang Xianmo heard that Chen Liqing said that the cause of the death of the person was actually the poisonous gas in the honeycomb coal, and they immediately thought that the news was going to spread, and their honeycomb coal business would definitely be hit hard.

The two glanced at each other, and Chen Liqun couldn't help but say: "Little brother, you, can you really be sure that this, the gas produced in this furnace can really poison people?" ”

Chen Liqun still didn't believe it, in addition, this honeycomb coal stove was given to Zhao Lao by him, and it was also produced by his organization, if Chen Liqing was a murderer, wouldn't he also be a murderer.

Looking at the Liuyu County Orders next to him, Chen Liqun was a little difficult to accept this fact.

If it's true, he's a murderer! And he actually killed such a close person, Grandpa Zhao watched him grow up since he was a child!

Although the dead Zhao Lao is considered a servant of his family, whoever dies is not a living life, in case he is caught by the An family and spread that his family cares about people's lives, then the reputation of the Chen family will be affected.

Chen Liqing naturally knew this truth, and he also knew the second brother's worries.

But that's the case, and thinking that just last night Grandpa Zhao touched his head and said that he was looking for a daughter-in-law for himself, and his voice and appearance were still very clear, Chen Liqing's heart was like a knife.

He looked at the second brother, glanced at the county order, and nodded solemnly: "Second brother, yes, I can be sure that the combustion of this coal will produce carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide is a toxic gas, and Grandpa Zhao's death is because he inhaled this gas." ”

Chen Liqun's body stiffened suddenly.

"Originally, when I used this honeycomb coal stove, there was no such danger. But Grandpa Zhao may have been afraid of the cold, so he brought the honeycomb coal stove to the house, and the air in the house was not circulated, and he inhaled too much carbon monoxide, so he was poisoned. Ignoring the second brother and looking around, Chen Liqing's gaze finally stopped on the county order.

"Uncle Liu, arrest me, I inadvertently harmed Grandpa Zhao." After speaking, Chen Liqing kowtowed heavily again, and the ground sounded.

He couldn't escape the blame, knowing that the use of a honeycomb coal stove might cause this kind of tragedy, but he had forgotten such a major matter in the past few days, and Zhao Lao's death could be said to be completely caused by him.

He was now full of self-reproach and guilt.
