The fire burned very vigorously in an instant, and it was obvious that someone had deliberately arranged it.

Not only did the other party know that they would be here tonight, but they also made full preparations when they were unprepared.

And when this fire burns, it is a flash of fire all around, so there is definitely more than one person on the other side.

"Someone wants us to die."

Qu Youying clenched her fists, looking at the skyrocketing fire outside, her face gloomy.

"Let's go out first."

Mu Jingzhu took off his robe and his eyes wandered around the room, finally fixing on a bucket in the corner.

"There's water."

He strode over to pick up the barrel, but Qu Youying followed and held his hand.

"That's not right."

Mu Jingzhu turned her head sideways, and she explained, "I found that we had overlooked a problem. Smell. ”

Mu Jingzhu pressed his eyes, instantly understood, opened the lid on the bucket, reached inside, and then frowned, "It's oil." ”

When ordinary people encounter a fire, their first reaction is to find water and splash it on their bodies to prevent burns.

If Qu Youying hadn't reacted in time to stop it, the barrel of diesel fuel would have been poured directly on the two of them, then as long as they were contaminated with sparks, they would have been ignited.

"I didn't even notice the smell of diesel, is my nose malfunctioning?"

Qu Youying rubbed her nose, puzzled.

Her nose is very smart, and she can smell the smell that ordinary people can't smell, but today, if she hadn't noticed someone coming, she wouldn't have smelled it at all.

Mu Jingzhu put the diesel in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then said, "I got so close that I smelled the smell of diesel." So it's not your nose, it's probably someone who did something to our sense of smell before we came here. It should be the food we eat today or the things we come into contact with around us that have been poisoned to temporarily fade our sense of taste. ”

"No wonder when I came in, I didn't smell any pungent smell in front of the corpse. I thought that my father had specially found someone to do some treatment on the corpse to make the taste so light. ”

"Don't worry about it for now, it's important to go out."

"But there is no water, and the fire outside is so big, can we run out?"

"Yes." Mu Jingzhu still draped his robe on Qu Youying's head, and then hugged her, "You try to hold your breath as much as possible, don't let the smoke choke." ”

Qu Youying nodded, snuggling in his arms and not moving.

Mu Jingzhu hugged her, lifted the internal force of the whole body, and kicked the wooden barrel full of diesel fuel to the door with his feet.

The door was already fragile by the fire, and his foot brought not only the diesel gas turbine, but also the impact of internal force.

Not only did he kick the door open, but it also caused quite a bang.

The explosion was loud, and the people who were fighting the fire outside were startled and retreated, Qu Qingyang was even more worried, shouting and continuing to extinguish the fire.

Although he is sometimes angry with this eldest daughter, she is the only thought that Xin Niang left him after all, and he can't protect Xin Niang, so he must protect their daughter.

"Give me more speed, go to the water more, hurry, hurry!"

If he hadn't been stopped by the mother and daughter in the second room, he would definitely rush in.

"How can you go out of the water if you are so good? There must be no trouble, nothing must be done! ”

Aunt Sun saw Qu Qingyang's face full of worry, and thought about his reaction after her daughter's death, and her eyes were still dyed with anger after all.

But she still plays the role of a gentle and virtuous wife in front of him.

"Master, don't worry, she'll be fine, don't worry about your body."

"Daddy." Qu Qiluo, who was silent on the side, looked at the monstrous fire, and suddenly said to Qu Qingyang, "My daughter thinks that this fire is strange, it burns so vigorously, it is obvious that diesel fuel is used, and the purpose is to kill my sister." ”

Qu Qingyang was obviously shocked when he heard this, shook his head and said, "She is a woman who has not been out of the cabinet, how can anyone want to kill her?" ”

Qu Qiluo glanced at Aunt Sun, and said with an unchanged expression, "My daughter remembers that when she was in Shuifu, because she participated in the investigation, the murderer had poisoned her more than once, and my sister almost died twice. This kind of thing happened when she came back now, so her daughter thinks that it should still be the murderer. Her sister thwarted her plans, which is why she was encountered. And—"

When she said this, she suddenly stopped, her eyes flashing, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"And what?" Qu Qingyang looked at her expression in his eyes and asked eagerly, "Say it quickly." ”

"Dad, my daughter is afraid that if she says it, her father will feel uncomfortable and will think of her mother."

Qu Qingyang was stunned, "You mean Xin Niang?" ”

"Yes."

"Xin Niang, she has been dead for many years, how can this matter have anything to do with her, you can tell me clearly."

Qu Qingyang's tone was a little hard, and even his voice was raised, and in the face of Qu Qiluo, there were some actions to ask the teacher for guilt, which made Aunt Sun very unhappy.

She stopped her daughter in front of her and said, "Master, Qiluo is just analyzing the possible speculation behind this fire on a case-by-case basis, not intentionally mentioning that it is related to Xin Niang, don't be angry with her, I will take her down to rest." ”

"Nope. I'm not going. ”

Qu Qiluo waved away Aunt Sun's hand, faced Qu Qingyang, and said very proudly, "What my daughter said is true. On the way back to Qufu all the way back to Qufu, I heard more than once about Xin Niang's identity, and everyone said that she was the daughter of the former head of Esoteric Tianxuan, and she had the secret of a great treasure. Before she died, she told her only daughter, her sister, the secret of the treasure. Originally, my daughter didn't believe it, but if there was a treasure, with her sister's temperament, she would inevitably preach something. But my sister has always been quiet and self-contained, and she is not generous, so it can be said that in addition to the autopsy outside, she is very low-key. But this is only known to our own family, as for outsiders, they will only think that everything she is low-key is disguised, in order to tell others that she does not know what treasure. Some people would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go. My sister's repeated sufferings must have something to do with this secret. If the father does not believe what his daughter said today, he can send someone to check and find out whether what his daughter said is true or false. ”

Qu Qiluo said so much in one breath, Qu Qingyang's expression was in shock at the beginning, and then there was silence.

"I will investigate this matter, and now, I just hope that Xiaoying is safe and sound."

Qu Qingyang did not deny the matter of the treasure, Qu Qiluo saw it in his eyes, smiled slightly, and said comfortingly, "Sister Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely be safe." ”

Before she could finish speaking, a square beam flew out of the bombed-out doorway, bringing a strong internal force.

The internal force turned into a strong wind, blowing the flames apart on both sides.

Mu Jingzhu took advantage of this gap and rushed out of it with Qu Youying in his arms, but despite this, the flames still burned their clothes.

"It's out, the eldest lady and Young Master Mu are out."

The servants were relieved to see that they were safe and sound.

Qu Qingyang was even more, he waved away Aunt Sun's hand, strode to Qu Youying's side, and hugged her in his arms.

At that time, Qu Youying was put down by Mu Jingzhu, and before he could see if he was injured, he was hugged by a strange and familiar embrace.

"Daddy?"

She was stunned, and she had the impression that since she was sensible, she had never been embraced by Qu Qingyang.

Because Dad always seems to look at her unpleasantly, and he is also very strict with her.

But this time, when facing this once imaginary embrace, a strange feeling spread in her heart.

Especially when that feeling sensed the trembling of worry from Qu Qingyang's body, it turned into a touch of sourness between her nose.

"Dad, I'm fine, I'm worried about you."

She smiled slightly, opened her hand and hugged Qu Qingyang's broad body, feeling the warmth from her father.

But after a while, Qu Qingyang let go of her, and his expression was as serious as ever.

"Send the eldest lady back to rest." After a pause, he added, "From now on, she is not allowed to step out of the mansion without my order, and she must be accompanied by more than three people wherever she goes in the mansion." ”

"What?" Qu Youying was stunned, she only escaped death once, and she was grounded? "Why is that?"

"There is no reason. Yun Shu, bring your master back. ”

Qu Qingyang spoke coldly, dropped such a sentence, turned around and left, and let Qu Youying yell behind his back, he just refused to take back the order.

Xiaoying, there isn't much Dad can do for you, I just wish you peace and well.

"Don't make a fuss, go back first." In the end, it was Mu Jingzhu who comforted Qu Youying, "I'll wait to find a doctor to take a look for you, after all, you have inhaled so much smoke." ”

"Nope." Qu Youying was suddenly grounded, she was very unhappy, she hugged Mu Jingzhu's arm with both hands in front of everyone, and said with angry cheeks, "You go with me, the doctor asked Yun Shu to call, you accompany me." ”

She hadn't been awkward for a long time, and now that familiar feeling fell in Mu Jingzhu's eyes, and she missed it very much.

His heart softened, he raised his hand and rubbed her head, smiled slightly and said, "Okay." ”

So, Yun Shu went out to ask for a doctor, Mu Jingzhu took Qu Youying back to her yard, and the rest of the people in Shuifu continued to put out the fire, and they were no longer surprised by the behavior of the two from childhood to adulthood.

Only the mother and daughter in the second room standing on the side looked at the appearance of the two with different expressions.

"Hmph, it's a shame to hook up with a man like this without getting married." Aunt Sun was very disdainful, she held her daughter's hand and said, "Qiluo, if you don't die this time, I will definitely choose a well-known family affair for you, and she must not be taken up in this matter." Your father has promised me these days that you can ignore the rules of Qufu, as long as you find a suitable in-law, he will let you marry first, and let her be ridiculed as an old girl! ”

Qu Qiluo looked at Aunt Sun with a child-like temperament, and there was no smile in her eyes, she just opened her mouth and said casually, "My daughter is not in a hurry, my daughter thinks that it is better to marry her and let her disappear from Qufu completely, in that case, my daughter will be the only daughter of Qufu." ”

Aunt Sun was holding her hand and walking all the way to her yard, when she heard her words, she looked back at the fire that had not been extinguished, and her heart missed a beat, and after turning her head to see the figure that was no longer there, she asked in a low voice, "Could this fire be you-"

"Mother, what did you say? How could a daughter be such a person? The things I said before, I also talked about things, and I believe that when my mother was in Shuifu, she also heard about it. ”

She dropped such a sentence, brushed Aunt Sun's hand away, and left first.

Aunt Sun was stunned in place, looking at her daughter's familiar back, and always felt that she was very strange today. I want to talk about "Bone Physiognomy" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
