Chapter 550: Gourd and Chestnut (2)
Hulu listened to it and interjected: "Let the soybeans follow." Soybeans, you know what to say, right? ”
Huang Dou hurriedly nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, I know what to say, I will definitely not let others take advantage of our family." Sister Red Pepper, come with me! ”
Hearing this, Hulu's heart twitched, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let this unwilling brother follow, so he thought about it or swallowed the words told him not to go: My aunt often said that when I learned to walk, I fell and fell a lot, and I walked steadily.
Red Pepper nodded hurriedly, she and Soybeans are a pair of enemies who can't see each other, Soybeans went, of course she had to catch up.
Then, Chestnut respectfully invited his mother's eldest uncle, his eldest uncle Yang Defa, with relatives of the Zhang and Zheng families, to organize people to build a funeral shed for the dead hired workers at the foot of Oak Garden Mountain, purchase coffins, white cloths, and a pair of incense, candles, and paper horses......
Then let people dig up the books, silver taels, account books and other things that had been buried before, and transport them to Zheng's house; He also invited Uncle Cai to take people to build a shed at the foot of the mountain, set up a temporary pot stove, asked Uncle Laifu to take people to Zheng's house to transport rice and grain, invited Uncle Laixi to go to the village and the market to buy vegetables and meat, and asked Aunt Liu to gather her daughters-in-law to cook rice and stir-fry vegetables at the bottom of the mountain, so as to entertain people from all walks of life......
The gourd was not idle on the other side, and after a while of shouting, the manpower was remobilized and arranged, and ten were organized into a team, and Wang Zhong and Huang Mai were sent to register their names, ages, and addresses, so that they could be paid afterwards.
He added more manpower to the east, west, and north sides of the Oak Garden, and also chose a few fungus fields close to Zhang's house, and gradually extinguished the fire and paved the passage in the same way as before, to see if there were any hired workers who hid like the Zhang family and waited for rescue.
Although it is speculated that all of them have already died. But with the hope of just in case, it is good to be able to save one more one, and if you can't save it, it's good to find the body. It's always going to put out the fire anyway.
As a result, a strange phenomenon appeared on the ruins of Zhang's house: the surrounding flames soared into the sky, and the mountain was full of wailing. Thousands of people gathered, and all kinds of people were mixed, but the person in charge of the scene was not Zhang Huai, not Zheng Qingmu, not Mrs. Zhang, not Zhang Dazhuan and Zheng Changhe, but a few little babies.
Wait for Ma Xiaoliu to bring a group of people. After carrying a few pairs of temporarily tied stretchers, and putting the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Zhang and Zheng families on the stretchers, the elders of the Zhang and Zheng families left a few babies and went back to the Zheng family, only Aoki and Zhang Dazhuan remained. Visit the hired hands who have been rescued from the rubble.
This situation made the county magistrate and others who were originally going to come forward to ask how the Zhang family escaped, looking at the little babies such as gourds and chestnuts who were standing there to send their parents and grandmothers in a daze.
The two brothers sent their elders away, turned their heads and discussed a few words in a low voice, and then went over to Yuan County Commander together, asking the County Commander to send someone to mobilize people who were repairing the river in the Qinghui River to help put out the fire.
"My lord, if you allow this fire to burn out and extinguish itself, this mountain will be ruined." Chestnut earnestly ordered Yuan County.
The county magistrate looked at the two little teenagers with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "Don't bother anymore." Before this official came here, he had already sent a fast horse to gallop to the river at night, and ordered Li Gengtian to bring people back to put out the fire quickly, thinking that they were almost there at this time. ”
Hulu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked the county magistrate with a respectful demeanor.
Chestnut also thanked the county lord. Fu knelt down and kowtowed again: "The Zhang family suffered this catastrophe, with countless casualties and heavy losses, and please make the decision for the Zhang family!" ”
Hulu also knelt down, saying that it was obvious that someone wanted to assassinate the Zhang family, so he deliberately set this fire, so arrogant, ignoring the national law, and clearly contemptuous of the imperial court.
After coming to the scene of the fire for a few hours, Yuan Xianling felt that he had some of the style of a parent official at this time, so he put on a full official uniform, put up a shelf and said solemnly: "This is the duty of this official, and it should be done!" ”
Chestnut still didn't get up, and solemnly pleaded: "I implore my lord to send people to the various crossings and wharves in this county to check the people coming and going, and then check the inns, restaurants, and merchants and passengers who have entered Xiatangji in the past few days, and then go to the Shuzhou Mansion to ask for ......."
He said a lot of things, stunned Yuan County's order, and even Fang Jingyu squinted his eyes suddenly, staring at the two little babies on the ground, and then looked at the Zhang family and the Zheng family who were far away, a little puzzled.
Seeing his expression, Chestnut explained gloomily: "My father is angry and angry, and his grief is too much, and he hurts his heart and lungs; My mother almost had a miscarriage; My grandfather was paralyzed with convulsions; My grandmother fainted continuously, and now she can't get up; My grandfather and grandmother were also frightened; Someone just came to ask Dr. Yun and said that my aunt also had fetal gas, and my wife was also scared and sick...... My lord, now that our two families are in a mess, I hope that my lord can make decisions for the small people. ”
Seeing that Yuan Xianling was silent, Hulu reminded him: "My lord, this matter is not trivial, I am afraid that adults will not be able to escape the involvement." Although the results have not yet been obtained, we have preliminary estimates that at least 60 people have died and more than a dozen have been injured; I won't talk about the loss of property, but adults know how much this mountain is worth now; Also, as soon as the imperial court ordered to help Old Master Zhou build a academy here, this happened......"
Yuan Xianling was held down by the two children to see the bloody truth, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, his face was pale, and he could no longer care about his official authority.
At this time, the officials who were helping to put out the fire on the mountain all returned, and it was Hulu who sent someone to call them. Although these people were so tired that they stuck out their tongues, they saw that the county master had a black face, and they were busy standing behind him, thinking that this little baby was really unconscious, and he made the old man angry again.
The county magistrate said to the gourd and chestnut in a deep voice: "You get up first." This matter will be arranged by the official. ”
Then, he asked casually, "Young Master Zhang, how did you escape?" This official and Master Fang have been hanging out for you! ”
Chestnut took a deep breath and replied with a cold look in his eyes: "Thank you for your concern." We were buried underneath and later found a mouse. Digging down the rat hole, it turned out that there was a cave below, so we went down and found the exit in front of us, and then we escaped. It can be seen that God does not want to kill my Zhang family. ”
Yuan Xianling and Fang Jingyu were stunned: This is really the immortal Zhang family, how much blessing can this have to meet such an opportunity?
Yuan Xianling remembered his troubles, comforted Chestnut absentmindedly, and then with a gloomy face, he hurriedly said to Fang Jingyu and led people down the mountain.
On the other hand, Aoki and Zhang Dazhuan discussed with the relatives of the injured employees that they would send them to Xiatang Jiji Shitang to recuperate, and the Zhang family would pay for all the expenses, even if they did not have to worry about their livelihood in the future, the Zhang family would never ignore them.
First, because Qin Feng and Yunying couldn't take care of it here, and secondly, the Zhang Mansion burned down, and there was nowhere to place them, but the Zheng family still had a bunch of patients who hadn't been sorted out.
Those people escaped death, and the Zhang family didn't abandon them at a critical moment before, it was they who wanted to get out of the pit, and seeing Aoki say this, where are there any words.
Some people also said to their families that the owner was busy, and we couldn't help, and we couldn't make a mess for him, so they all left, and two families left strong laborers, saying that they were helping the owner.
After Aoki took care of them, he took the time to invite Fang Jingyu and Master He to go to Zheng's house to rest, and Zhang Dazhuan solemnly thanked them.
Fang Jingyu and Master He both told them not to be polite at this time, the fire was still burning, hurry up and put out the fire, and handed over the people they brought to Aoki and listened to his arrangement.
Aoki was not polite, after all, the situation was still very tense, so he and Zhang Dazhuan led people into busyness again.
Besides, Chrysanthemum and the others, when they went down the mountain, they were surrounded.
It turned out that some of the relatives of the dead hired workers, who had nothing to say because the Zhang family was also caught in the fire before, but now they saw that the Zhang family came back alive, but their own family members had become black and charred corpses, and they couldn't tell who was who, where could they bear it, and they didn't care about the loss of money, crying and stopping them to seek justice.
Heipi and Master Yan hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, while sending someone up the mountain to call Wang Zhong and ask him to bring two hired men rescued from the ruins to clarify the matter.
Chrysanthemum wants to stand up, but she is also powerless.
Although Huaizi was weak, but his family was safe, the spirit was completely different from before, he held down the chrysanthemum, and said in a deep voice: "You go back first, I'll tell them." ”
Seeing that Chrysanthemum and He Shi were both looking at themselves worriedly, they smiled and said, "I'm so useless, I can't even deal with this little thing?" They had a fuss before, and it was a few of them who supported it. At that time, can you still say that I am worried about you, I can't take care of this matter, and now let the little baby come forward, am I still a man? ”
Seeing those people crying and making noise, Chrysanthemum raised her voice and instructed: "It's not that you can't handle it, I'm worried about your body." Don't be angry with them, their relatives are in trouble, and they will inevitably speak without choice of tongue. In this situation, no matter how much they say, they will not be convinced, it is better to let the living hired workers explain to them. ”
Huaizi nodded, and was afraid that she would be suspenseful, so he said: "You go back first, arrange for them to make some delicious food, and when I come back to eat and make up, I will get better soon." Chrysanthemum knew what he was thinking, and nodded in agreement.
Huaizi told He not to worry about it, let Grape take good care of his wife, persuade her more, send them all away, and turn his head to face those people.
He stood in front of these people, and he did not persuade them, nor was he angry and angry, but he just quietly watched them cry.
When those people saw that he was not in a hurry, and did not come to bow down to himself, but as if they were watching the excitement, they became even more angry and cried even harder.
Huaizi whispered a word to Master Yan, and Master Yan stepped forward and shouted, "Don't you just want to talk to him when you stop the master?" Why don't you say it? Cry again, cry again, the master will leave, and cry to death with you. ”
After shouting twice, those people stopped talking and looked at Huaizi together.
Huaizi's cold gaze swept around everyone, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Your family is suffering, and I don't feel good in my heart. Before, I was just like you, and I couldn't wait to hit the genius. You have also seen that the Zhang family has pulled all the people in the vicinity to help, and the Zhang family who can save it has been saved, and the Zhang family has also promised to compensate if it is not rescued. What are you trying to do with all this fuss...... Sorry, there is only one update today, thank you for your support ()RQ
