Chapter 179: Suicide
Lu Yu asked Qin Zhongquan: "Gang Leader Qin, did Lin Siyao send someone to your side and say that he would pay three times the rent this year?" ”
"Go, pay three times." Qin Zhongquan frowned and asked Lu Yu, "Did he send someone here too?" ”
"Yes, I came yesterday, and I was driven away by Da Yu." Speaking of this matter, Fang Daping seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
"This beast is going to force people to death."
Lu Di said: "It's not a good day. But I think that when the autumn harvest comes, even if we don't pay so much grain, he doesn't seem to be able to do anything with us, right? ”
Lu Yu said: "He can't do anything with us." ”
Qin Zhongquan sighed and said, "During the autumn harvest, if Lin Siyan is still in Jinhua City, we still have to pay three times the rent over there. ”
Qin Zhongquan's words made everyone silent for a while.
After a while, Lao Gao said: "The one surnamed Lin, he won't send dozens or hundreds of people to your Pingze Lake to ask for food, right?" ”
"That's hard to say, maybe he'll send someone."
Qi Xiang said: "There are a lot of Qin gang masters, so can't you do anything with them?" ”
Qin Zhongquan shook his head and said: "Don't say what you don't do, the brothers in our gang are all farmers like you and me, and I can't ask them to really fight with the officials." Besides, even if the battle is won, it is inevitable that there will be casualties. It's rare that just a few days have passed, and I don't want them to take risks. ”
Yan Jibai didn't speak much, but now he spoke, he said: "You can't fight with the government, no matter what, the people don't fight with the officials." What's more, even if they can repel a county official, there is still a court behind them. ”
This seemed to be said to Lu Yu, so Lu Yu said: "You can't force it, let's wait and see first, and then let's see the opportunity." Lu Yu really didn't want anyone other than himself to have any conflicts with Lin Si, he was afraid that what happened to Shan Tianfang would appear to some other people.
Regarding Lin Siyao, there was nothing to discuss, and this group of men began to discuss Lu Yu again.
Qi Xiang talked the most, and he asked Lu Yu: "Da Yu, you and the girl of the Yan family, when will this kiss come to be?" Yan Jibai's family is here, and Qi Xiang's question made Yan Xi'an's face turn red.
Lu Yu's face was also slightly red, and he said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, let's talk about it next year." ”
Qi Xiang said: "Hey, you have to hurry up on this matter, and good things are afraid of grinding." ”
These words involuntarily reminded people of Shan Tianfang and Fang Huaru, the two of them were a few days before they got married, and the red wedding event became a white happy event.
So Qin Zhongquan said: "Miss Yan is still young, and Mr. Lu is looking younger and younger, the two of them really don't need to worry, it's good to be a year or two late." ”
Lu Yu nodded, thinking in his heart, how could he wait until after killing Lin Siyan to get married.
Early the next morning, with the help of Mrs. Yan and Yan Xi'an, Lu Yu made a lot of corn tortillas for Qin Zhongquan and the group of children as breakfast, as well as dry food for them to eat on the way back.
After a night, the sadness in the children's hearts did not seem to have diminished by half, and everyone seemed depressed and depressed. Lu Yu looked at the children who were eating, and couldn't help but think to himself, if it weren't for them, Shan Tianfang wouldn't have had to follow Zhao Shoubei as a messenger for those days, let alone lose his life because of the last "mission".
Wanting to leave Yangshan Village and return to Pingze Lake, the children's expressions were full of reluctance, but none of them said that they wanted to stay at Lu Yu's house. This group of children seemed to have grown up a lot overnight, but Lu Yu saw it in his eyes and felt very uncomfortable.
There are still a few days before spring ploughing, and the paddy fields in Anding Valley don't need to rush to sow seeds, so it's okay these days, Lao Gao and Lu Di came to invite Lu Yu to go hunting in the mountains again.
Since Zhao Shoubei and Lin Siyan came over, Lu Yu seemed to have been quite busy, and he didn't care much about eating and drinking. Yan Xi must be a meat-loving master, and Lan Shaofang is not far behind, Lu Yu decided to go into the mountains and get some delicious food for these two little guys.
Hunting is still a group of five, Lao Gao Lu Di Lu Yu and the Yan family sisters and brothers, Lan Shaofang originally wanted to follow, but Lu Yu was worried that when she entered the mountain, she couldn't help but be "ferocious", so she still ruthlessly rejected Lan Shaofang and Yan Xiding's "plea". Later, under the "coercion" of the two of them by Yan Xiding, Lu Yu promised to bring Lan Shaofang next time.
With Lu Yu's current cultivation, when he entered the mountain, all the movements within a radius of a few miles around him could be clearly noticed. So Lu Yu took the other four people to look for prey in the mountains, and he had to pretend to be casual.
Under normal circumstances, if there is a good harvest in the morning, Lu Yu and the five people will usually go back at noon. But today he didn't want to go back too early, so he took the other four people around the mountains in the morning, deliberately avoiding places where wild boars and foxes were infested.
At noon, Yan Xi'an felt that something was wrong, and she quietly asked Lu Yu if she deliberately wanted everyone to be unable to hunt.
Lu Yu smiled and said: "This was discovered by you, I see that the weather is good today, let's stay in the mountains for a while, and then hunt wild boars in the afternoon." ”
"No wonder, I've heard pigs bark a few times, and you missed them all, it turned out that you did it on purpose."
Lu Yu smiled, and heard Yan Xi Ding say on the side: "You two, what are you muttering behind my back again?" Because he didn't let Lan Shaofang come out with him, Yan Xiding had a great opinion of Lu Yu.
Lao Gao patted Yan Xiding's head and said with a smile: "Xiding, Da Yu is your brother-in-law, of course he is the closest to your sister." ”
"No, he's not yet, my sister has to be the closest to me."
Yan Xi'an smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my sister is the closest to you." After a pause, she smiled again: "But you, now you are the closest to Shaofang." ”
Yan Xi Ding's face was slightly red, and he retorted in a low voice: "Nonsense, I am good friends with Shaofang, not relatives. ”
After a break at noon, Lu Yu took his companions to catch two wild boars in the afternoon, and as for the pheasants and hares found along the way, he let them go.
The five of them happily returned to the village, and before they went to Lao Gao's house, someone came to look for Lu Yu.
Sanbao found Lu Yu with an anxious face and told him that Fang Darong's daughter had done something stupid.
Lu Yu was shocked, and hurriedly asked Sanbao, what stupid thing did Fang Huaru do? How's the people?
"I cut my wrists, I'm dizzy, and I'm not dead."
"It's good that people don't die." Lu Yu and Sanbao rushed to Fang Darong's house, thinking in their hearts: "Didn't Miss Fang say that she wanted to avenge Shan Tianfang with her own hands, why can't you think about this revenge?" ”
went to Fang Darong's house, Fang Darong was standing in the hall with a sad face, and his daughter-in-law was crying in the room.
Lu Yu went directly into the house, didn't ask anything, and went straight to see Fang Huaru.
Fang Huaru's eyes were closed, her face was extremely pale, and the wrist on her left hand was tightly wrapped in a white towel, and there were a few traces of red blood, as if painted on a white towel.
As long as the person is not dead, Lu Yu has a way to save him, he asked Fang Darong's daughter-in-law and the rest of the women who came to take care of Fang Huaru to go out first, and in order to avoid suspicion, he called Yan Xiding in.
Lu Yu used a spell to heal Fang Huaru's wound and gave her a trace of aura.
Normally, Fang Huaru should have come to her senses at this time, but Lu Yu waited for a while, but she never saw any signs of her soberness. Lu Yu felt that something was wrong, so he investigated it carefully.
Then Lu Yu found that there was a trace of thought that did not belong to Fang Huaru, which was entrenched in her mind. This trace of foreign ideas is very suspicious and strange, Fang Huaru suddenly couldn't think of it, it is likely to be related to this thread of thought.
Without much effort, Lu Yu expelled that trace of strange thoughts, and soon, Fang Huaru woke up.
Lu Yu opened the door and called the others in.
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Darong's daughter-in-law threw herself by her daughter's bed, crying and saying to her daughter: "Girl, what are you going to do, you have to have a good one, I and your father are still alive?" ”
Fang Huaru had just woken up and looked a little confused, she looked at her mother, then at Lu Yu, and asked, "What's wrong?" She doesn't seem to remember what she did.
Lu Yu understood that Fang Huaru's suicide by cutting her wrists was actually not her own will, but was manipulated, so she didn't remember anything.
Fang Darong's daughter-in-law cried and said: "Girl, you are confused, people can't be resurrected after death, why do you want to do stupid things?" ”
Fang Huaru looked stunned and asked softly, "Mother, what are you talking about?" What stupid things have I done? ”
Fang Darong's daughter-in-law was even more stunned: "Girl, don't you remember what you did?" ”
"I don't remember." Fang Huaru saw that her bandaged and tight wrist also understood a little, and asked again: "Did I cut my wrist?" ”
"You really don't remember?"
"Mother, I really don't remember." Fang Huaru touched her forehead with one hand, trying to remember what happened before she fell unconscious.
Lu Yu said: "Don't think about it if you don't remember, just be careful in the future." Lu Yu was thinking in his heart, he used his mind to manipulate others to commit suicide, he didn't know how to do this, it seemed that the other party Huaru would only be the master who suddenly howled in the county government that night.
Fang Darong's daughter-in-law asked Lu Yu again: "Da Yu, did my girl encounter something dirty?" ”
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yu nodded.
Fang Huaru hurriedly asked, "Brother Yu, are you saying that I have fallen into evil?" ”
Lu Yu said: "I'm afraid it's evil, but it's okay now." ”
"It's Da Yu, you drove away the evil, thank you very much." Fang Darong's daughter-in-law thanked Lu Yu, and said to her daughter: "It must be Shan Tianfang who wants to come back and take you away, so why did you pounce on his coffin that day?" ”
Lu Yu hurriedly said: "It's not Shan Tianfang, it's something else." ”
Fang Darong's daughter-in-law asked, "Da Yu, how do you know it's not that kid?" ”
"I know, it's not him." Lu Yu didn't want to explain more, so he told Fang Huaru a few more words, and then led Yan Xi'an back.
