Chapter 552: Missing

Name:

Rustic wilderness

Chrysanthemum still lives in the house before she got married. She lay on the small carved shelf bed, and Grape sat on the pedal in front of the bed and watched over her, doing needlework.

Seeing Huaizi come in, Grape got up and whispered to him, "I just fell asleep." ”

Who knew that Chrysanthemum heard the voice and asked on the bed, "Grape, but the master is here?" ”

Grape hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's the master who is here." Madame, why haven't you slept? Doesn't it give you a good night's sleep? ”

Huaizi also asked: "But your body is uncomfortable and you can't sleep?" ”

Chrysanthemum said softly: "It's okay, you're worried." I just can't settle down in my heart, and when I close my eyes, it seems that I am still on the mountain, and there is fire on all sides. ”

When Huaizi heard this, she wanted to kick off her shoes and stepped on the pedal to see her, but she found that her body and feet were covered with mud, so she had to stop.

Grape hurriedly said: "Mrs. just instructed Xiaoxi to prepare all the hot water, the master will go to take a hot bath first, eat something, and then come here to rest." ”

Chrysanthemum also said: "Brother Huaizi, you go wash first, eat something and sleep." Don't resist it, you will be in trouble if you get seriously ill. Besides, when you're rested, go and change my brother, there are still a lot of things to do. Grapes, give the garment to the master. It's a shame that we usually left a few sets of clothes at my mother's side, otherwise you would have to wear my brother's. ”

Grape hurriedly took out the clothes that had been prepared from the cabinet next to him, and said, "The clothes outside still need to be worn by my uncle, I just asked my uncle's wife." ”

Huaizi took the clothes, went to the back bathroom and washed it hotly, even washed his hair, and then came over again, the grapes were ready to eat early, and he talked to the chrysanthemum while eating.

After eating for a while, the grapes put away the dishes and chopsticks. said to Huaizi: "Master and Mrs. have a good rest." I'm outside, call me if there's anything. "After that, he went out.

Huaizi went to bed, took the chrysanthemum in his arms, and tried to talk to her properly, but he was extremely tired. I just talked about some of my own arrangements. Gradually, the voice lowered, and after a while, he began to snore.

Chrysanthemum pulled a thick multi-layered cotton hand towel. Gently wiped his undried hair, looking at his haggard face, his heart calmed down. After drying that long hair. Spread out on the pillow and let it dry. I also squinted my eyes.

I don't know how long I slept for a long time, and suddenly Huaizi sat up and exclaimed, "Chrysanthemum ......"

Chrysanthemum was in a daze, and hurriedly said, "Brother Huaizi, what's the matter?" ”

Huaizi looked around for a while. He looked at the chrysanthemum who stood up and asked suspiciously, and sighed. Lian said that it was okay, stuffed her back into the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, put on her coat, dragged a pillow over and put it behind her back, leaning on the head of the bed and quietly distracted.

After half a sound, he said softly: "You're right, I can't sleep well this time, I'd better go over there and take a look, change the eldest brother to come back and take a breath, and then see how the chestnuts are doing." ”

Chrysanthemum stared at him with blazing eyes, held one of his hands under the quilt, and was silent.

After the joy of seeing their relatives passed, they couldn't ignore one thing: the fire not only burned down nearly 1,000 acres of mountains and forests and the large mansion of the Zhang family, but also took dozens of lives, causing dozens of families to live and die.

Those who set fires can ignore human life, but they cannot.

Worried about their families and had no time to worry about anything else, now that the family is reunited, they can't sleep quietly while others are crying.

What is behind this fire, to be honest, Chrysanthemum doesn't care too much, she can't escape those things, and there is no new reason to do so. She doesn't want her family to have hatred and spend their lives to take revenge.

It's not that she's weak, or she doesn't want to face up to reality, but she has her own thoughts: prosperity and decline, glory and disgrace, since ancient times, when the time to return, no one can escape, if you are controlled by hatred now, lose your heart, then life will be chaotic.

"Brother Huaizi, don't be blinded by hatred, let's only do what we have to do. You sent a letter to Yang Zi, he should know how to deal with this. Even if I don't understand the affairs of the court, I guess that someone will not let go of this opportunity, not to mention that Master Zhou is coming. ”

Huaizi nodded and said, "I know." It's just strange, who is so brainless to do this hurtful thing and not benefit themselves? ”

Chrysanthemum said quietly: "There are many crazy people in this world, you can't be reasonable, where can you know what they think." ”

After a pause, he said firmly: "I can't do anything else, and I don't want to do it, but we must help Master build this academy." In addition, I would like to help Dr. Qin and Yun Ying build a medical school in Xiaoqingshan, recruit people from all over the world, gather here to discuss and exchange and spread medical skills, and then expand the Jishitang in Xiatangji to match this medical school. ”

Huaizi was shocked, and looked down at her fixedly, chrysanthemum, always different from what others thought.

"After so many people died, it was not possible to ask a monk to recite the scriptures to be reborn. Doing more for the living people is also considered to be a blessing for the descendants of the Zhang family. Sometimes I think, what are you doing with all that money? If it is said to be for food and clothing, no matter how luxurious it is, it is only three meals a day and a night's sleep, what else? ”

Huaizi clenched her hand and said coldly, "I know." It is always necessary for people to see that this mountain cannot be burned, and the Zhang family cannot be burned either. ”

After speaking, he got up and got out of bed, and said to Chrysanthemum, "I'll go and see." Rest assured, I won't be as desperate as I was before. You have a good rest, don't think too much, take care of your body, and you can spend more time with your father and grandmother. ”

Chrysanthemum nodded, called the grapes in, and asked, "What time is it?" Is the pork lung stewed in the north and south apricots better? Bring a bowl to the old man to eat, and then ask someone to send some to the eldest uncle. ”

Grape hurriedly turned around and brought a big bowl of dried vegetables and apricot stewed pork lungs to Huaizi, and said to Chrysanthemum: "Earlier, my uncle's wife had asked people to send some to the mountain." My mother is also boiling dried pork lung soup in a big pot over there. ”

After speaking, he said happily: "Madam, it is gloomy outside, as if it is going to snow heavily." If it does snow, won't it save us a lot of trouble? Oh, it's a moment. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled and said, "God is also helping us." ”

Huaizi finished eating in two bites, dropped the bowl and told the chrysanthemum again, and then went out.

As soon as I got outside, I saw Huang Mai walking around in the yard, and when I saw him come out, I hurriedly greeted him and whispered, "Master, that Jin Er is gone." ”

Huaizi was taken aback and asked in a lost voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Huang Mai hurriedly said: "The old man is in a hurry, it doesn't look like he is running away, according to us, he is afraid that he will fall into the pool." Otherwise, he knew that life would be difficult in the future, so he crawled over and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. Uncle Liu was salvaging the body there. ”

Huaizi said: "Let's go, go and take a look." ”

The two of them hurried to the bamboo garden. Huaizi looked at the sky while walking, and it was really gloomy, and even the wind was much lighter, and it seemed that the whole world was accumulating strength to brew a heavy snowfall.

While begging God to hurry up with the snow, he and Huang Mai hurried to the ravine beside the bamboo garden, and entered the cave, not even bothering to take a closer look at the fire on the other side of the oak garden.

Huaizi, who entered the cave for the first time, was in awe of this place, this was the cave that saved his family, and God let the chrysanthemum discover it, and the Zhang family had a great fate with it.

The entrance to the cave had been dug up a lot, and Qingmai was guarding there, and when he saw them, he said, "The master is here." The old lady and uncle also came. ”

Huaizi nodded, and walked into the hole with Huang Mai. Huang Mai lit a torch to lead the way, and he looked around as he walked.

After walking a long way, I saw Zhang Dazhuan, Liu Heizi, and Aoki whispering something around a faint cold pool with light waves, and the humming echo was a little indistinct.

Seeing that Huaizi was coming, Liu Heizi was not verbose, told him about the previous things, and pointed to the marks and blood stains on the edge of the cold pool and said: "I don't think this seal looks like he crawled over by himself, but it looks like he was dragged down by something." Master, let's check this hole carefully, it's not easy. There may be something in this pool. Look at this—" he pointed to a moist soil on the edge of the pool, and shone a torch at the locust seed, "it looks like paw prints, and I don't know what kind of animal it is." ”

Huaizi saw that it was a trace similar to a chicken claw, but it was much larger than a chicken claw, and he was puzzled, and he glanced at Aoki and frowned.

Liu Heizi said again: "I used this bamboo pole to copy it inside, and I didn't get the bottom at all. I changed it to a three-zhang long, very evil one, but I still can't get to the end, so I don't dare to try again. Supposedly, if a person falls and drowns, the body should float up. ”

Zhang Dazhuan scolded: "There won't be a spirit living in here, right, drag this kid down to eat?" That's well deserved. Who made him do this unconscionable thing? ”

Huaizi looked around and asked, "Didn't there leave any clues in the next place?" What if he was rescued? ”

Aoki hurriedly said: "I just looked around, except for this, there are no footprints and no blood stains in the next place, it is impossible to be rescued." If someone really rescues him, that person will be very hardworking. ”

Huaizi checked it himself and determined that Jin Er had fallen into the pool, and as for how he fell in, it was hard to guess. So he left the matter behind and consulted with Aoki about what to do with the cave.

Aoki said: "Although it is blocked over there, it is also necessary to arrange it here." I thought it would be better to build a courtyard outside for people to take care of, and use this place as the cellar and granary of the Zhang family, so that anyone could enter and exit at will, and this cave also came in handy. ”

Zhang Dazhuan immediately agreed: "It's very good to hide grain here." It also saves the trouble of building a warehouse. ”

Huaizi nodded and said, "That's a good idea." The front of this cave is used as the granary on Zhang Jiaming's face, and the back is kept as a back hand, so there is a way out if there is such a thing. ”

Liu Heizi said excitedly: "Hey! Master, there are many miles over there, leading all the way to Peach Blossom Valley, which means that the bottom of these mountains is empty. It takes a lot of planning to make it happen. ”

After speaking, he took them around again, and sure enough, the other exit had been blocked, and I couldn't see it if I didn't look closely, "I blocked it over there, and after it was blocked, I came out of that side and came back here, so I can't see it here at all." ”

Liu Heizi said very proudly, and he also said that he planted more climbing vines here, which would be even more difficult to see. After this road is sealed, it is easy to open when you want to use it, but it must be opened from that side...... Thank you for your support to the ugly chrysanthemum, tomorrow's festival will be more, and a chapter will be added at 11 o'clock in the morning, I wish you all a happy Christmas! ()RQ
