Chapter 148: Discovery

When they returned to the village, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the people were happy, and the fire in the mountains was half extinguished, and if it rained longer, the fire would be completely extinguished.

Qi Yong carried Jia Luo on his back and did not go to the front yard, which was full of wounded people, so he carried Jia Luo to his house in the back yard. Callo likes to be quiet, and the front yard is also quiet, so it is best to live in your own house.

Calo slept, and when he got up again, it was completely dark, and an oil lamp was faintly shining in the room.

I was a little confused when I first got up, where is this place?

At this time, Qi Yong came in with a bowl of porridge.

In the afternoon, Jia Luo fell asleep, and Qi Yong went to the clan to deal with things, and did not come back until it was dark, and saw that Jia Luo had not gotten up and went to boil porridge, and then he had eaten and came over with food to see if Jia Luo had woken up.

"Where is this?" Callo asked, sitting on the bed, looking into the unfamiliar room.

Qi Yong put the porridge on the table and replied, "This is the backyard, there are a lot of injured people in front, I'm afraid that you will feel noisy, so I will send you to the back here, rest assured!" This is my house. ”

Knowing that Calo has a habit of cleanliness, he is generally reluctant to touch other people's things.

"Your house ......" Jia Luo muttered, this backyard is very simple, it is estimated that it used to be used as a place to put sundries, this time she came back with Qi Yong, and the front room was for her to live in, and this place was temporarily converted into a residence, so the house was still very simple, but it was cleaned up.

"It's my house, it's a little shabby, don't you mind."

Callo shook his head, "I live in your house, what about you?" "Occupy his house, and don't know where he lives?

Qi Yong pointed to the next door and said, "I live in the house next door in Tsing Yi, and a few of them in Tsing Yi live in Elder Zuo's house." "Elder Zuo's family is only him and his grandson Xiao Jingqiu, and there happens to be a room for Tsing Yi to live in.

When Callo heard this, he was relieved.

"What happened to those who were injured by wild boars?"

Qi Yongying said, "The two injuries are more serious, Jingyue has already treated them, but they are seriously injured, and it depends on them whether they can survive or not." Others are fine, just keep it for a few days. Now that their wounds have been treated, don't worry about them, Ah Man and Jingyue have taken care of them, you can eat some food first, and then put it down, and the food will be cold. With that, he helped her up and sat down at the table.

He specially asked people to boil chicken soup for Callo to replenish his body.

Callo ate slowly, and to find the Ice and Fire Gourd, her body had to recover as soon as possible.

At this time, Tsing Yi came back and saw that Jia Luo was there, and he was a little hesitant to report the situation in the village to Qi Yong.

Qi Yong said, "It's okay, you tell me about the situation in the village." ”

Jia Luo didn't want to avoid it, since Qi Yong didn't mind why she wanted to avoid it, and this was a matter in the Wing Clan, she also wanted to know what was going on in the village.

Only then did Tsing Yi dare to speak, "There are a total of twenty-six wild boars, and those wild boars are divided among Elder Zuo's families in the afternoon, and then in the afternoon, his subordinates and a few other people went to the mountains to search, and this fire killed many wild beasts, and most of the forest was burned." In addition, his subordinates found that there was a mine hole in the mountain, and the backfilled soil in it was still very new, and it should have been dug not long ago.

In addition, according to the clansman he saw, he said that the place where the fire first started was the place where the wild boar herd usually gathered, and one person found that not long after the city lord went up the mountain in the morning, the right elder led people up the mountain as well, but they came down the mountain not long after they were on the mountain, and then the mountain caught fire. ”

After hearing this, Qi Yong said, "This fire is a bit strange...... his eyes sank, he hesitated and said, "If I guess correctly, this fire is trying to prevent us from staying in the mountains." ”

Jia Luo put down his chopsticks, and then said, "It should be temporary, I want to set fire to it, and don't let us stay in the mountain for a long time, in addition, I just mentioned the cave mountain, I heard the villagers say what they want to dig before, then it is estimated that there is something in the cave, they should not have dug it yet, because we came here suddenly, they can only hurriedly backfill the hole overnight." ”

"It's possible...... And there is another possibility, that is, they set the fire like that and happened to be in the place where the wild boar herd usually stays, then they hope that we are not bitten to death by wild boars or burned to death. Qi Yong scolded, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, this time he dared to plot against them like this, the key was that he had hurt so many clansmen, and he must not tolerate that group of people again.

Seeing this, Jia Luo said, "You stay tomorrow to deal with the affairs of the clan, and I and Aman Jingyue will go to that mountain." ”

As soon as Jia Luo finished speaking, Qi Yong retorted, "When I finish dealing with this matter in two days, I don't worry about you three women going to the mountains." In addition, you should not go out in this way. There are so many injured clansmen over there, and Jingyue has to help treat them, and it will be too late to go two days later. ”

Jia Luo was a little hesitant when he said this, now that the place has been determined, it should be fine if it is just two days late, the key is that a lot of internal strength has been consumed today, and if you encounter danger on the mountain road, it is a little unsafe to rely on Ah Man alone.

"Okay then." I agreed.

As soon as Qi Yong heard that he agreed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

stood up and said, "Have a good rest, there are Ah Man in front of them, and they are watching." "I'm going to go out.

Gallo thought of something, and immediately asked, "Last night, I saw that the people who came back late at night went in the direction of those houses, do you want to ask them what they were digging in the mountains before?" ”

Qi Yong paused, and immediately asked, "Which ones are they?" ”

"It's the forked road not far ahead, one forking southeast, and the other is close to the river." Callo recalled.

Qi Yong nodded after hearing this, and immediately went out with Tsing Yi.

After she finished eating, she was still very sleepy, and she rarely went out in the winter, so she began to meditate again.

Qi Yong and Tsing Yi went to Elder Zuo's house and told him about the speculation that Tu Mingcheng's gang wanted to kill him and Jia Luo, and also told him that the gang didn't know what to dig in the mountains recently.

Elder Zuo was very angry after hearing this, and immediately went to the families that Jia Luo said with Qi Yong, arrested those families who had gone to the mountains to mine, and tortured and forced them to finally tell the truth.

It turned out that Tu Mingcheng's second son didn't know what he knew about a wealthy businessman outside, and the rich businessman said that there was a gold mine on the back side of the mountain, and took a sum of money to Tu Mingcheng to hire a group of people to dig gold mines in the mountains, and I heard that the rich businessman privately discussed with Tu Mingcheng that if he dug up a gold mine, he would split it in half with Tu Mingcheng, so Tu Mingcheng helped the rich businessman like this.

The hired people are all Tu family members, they are very happy to dig every day with wages for digging soil, and they have been digging for five days, but because Qi Yong came back to go up the mountain, they were afraid that Qi Yong would find them mining, so they filled the hole overnight.
