Chapter 35: The Red Rain

"But what if she goes to Yeshan." Agui speculated.

"But in case she just went out and wanted to open and come back, I heard that you went to Yeshan, didn't it make her worry." Lan Xiaoqiu desperately grabbed Agui.

Agui stubbornly said, "No, I'm going to take a look." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu only left the rags left by Agui in his hand and said, "I'll go with Agui to have a look." ”

Ruosu and Lan Xiaoqiu chased Agui to the foot of Ye Mountain, Agui saw Xiao Er from a distance, Xiao Er was standing on the mountain, but because it was too far away, everyone didn't see Xiao Er's hands tied to the small tree, and his mouth was sealed.

Ah Gui waved his hand anxiously and said, "Xiao'er, come down quickly, it's dangerous." ”

But Xiao Er obviously saw Ah Gui, but her body couldn't move, Xiao Er's tears were mixed with the rain, she shook her head desperately, trying to tell Ah Gui not to go up the mountain.

The soil under his feet has begun to loosen, Xiao Er struggled to break free from the trapped rope, and his hands were covered with blood, but where could the skin and flesh be hard over the rope, and the thick hemp rope was dyed red by Xiao Er's wrist.

"Xiao'er, you wait for me." Ah Gui climbed up the mountain despite Lan Xiaoqiu's obstruction, and the slippery mud under his feet made Ah Gui roll into a mud figure, constantly falling, and climbing again, Ah Gui's knees and arms were already covered with blood, and his face was also covered in mud.

Xiao Er cried as Ah Gui struggled to get closer to him, and the soil under his feet was like sand, and the young trees soon revealed their roots, and with the mudslide pouring down, Xiao Er was washed up to the mountainside.

Ah Gui ran over and picked up Xiao Er, who was already in a semi-coma, and said, "Xiao Er, who tied you here?" Who is it? ”

Xiao Er said weakly: "You go quickly, I can't do it." As he spoke, yellow mud oozed from his mouth, and the whole person couldn't see his original appearance clearly.

Ah Gui cried and wiped off the yellow mud blocking her nostrils for Xiao Er: "Who wants to harm you?" Who is it? ”

"Yes, it's Fang Xu. In fact, everything was asked by Madame to do it, I just followed Madame's words...... "Xiao'er is dying."

At the foot of the mountain, Lan Xiaoqiu waved his arms and shouted to remind Agui that there was another mudslide pouring down above Agui. But the two only cared about talking, and didn't notice it at all, Lan Xiaoqiu watched Agui hugging Xiao Er tightly, and was washed down by the mudslide, Lan Xiaoqiu wanted to go up the mountain to see, but was stopped by Ruosu: "If you go up, you will also be washed down, let's go quickly, it's dangerous here." ”

A mudslide came out from the halfway up the mountain, heading straight for the two of them, the mudslide drowned Ah Gui and Xiao Er, Lan Xiaoqiu could barely find their traces, and the yellow mud in his eyes was like a galloping beast, devouring the grass and trees of the mountain.

When the rain finally stopped, Ruosu sent people to look for it in the mudslide, but dug out two clay figures hugging each other tightly, and the two looked at each other like sculptures.

Lan Xiaoqiu cried: "I forgive you, why do you still come." ”

Ruosu pulled the excited Lan Xiaoqiu: "This matter is too strange, how could Xiao Er find out with her conscience and not think of committing suicide?" ”

"It must have been my fault that I scared her last night, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, so it was all my fault for using the same method to make me forgive her, and I shouldn't have scared her." Lan Xiaoqiu couldn't cry.

Ruo Su shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Er is not such a person, maybe someone wants to kill people." Why is there a small tree on this bare mountain? If you look at Xiao Er's hands again, her hands seem to have been tied with ropes, and she may have been killed. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu cried and knelt beside the corpses of the two: "Who is it?" Who killed you? ”

At this time, Fang Xu helped Mrs. Fang to the corpse, and Mrs. Fang pounced on Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, I didn't expect you to still not be able to think about it, I worked so hard to save your life, why can't you think about it today?" I don't have a daughter in my life, I treat you as a daughter. ”

Ruo Su walked up to Fang Xu, glared at him and asked, "How can there be a small tree that has grown for a few years on this mountain with perennial mudslides?" Why did Xiao Er leave traces of being tied up on her hands, she must have been murdered. So, did you do it? ”

After hearing this, Madam Fang turned her head to Ruo Su and said, "How could it be Fang Xu's doing?" He's been with me all day. ”

Ruo Su continued to look directly at Fang Xu and asked, "Did you do it?" ”

Fang Xu wrapped his arms around Ruosu's shoulders and asked, "Is that how you see me?" Is that how you see your future husband? ”

Ruo Su said: "General, please swear." ”

"I swear, if I did it, the sky would be thundering." Fang Xu looked at Ruo Su and said, "Xiao Er has been in the Fang family for more than ten years, and I also treat her as a sister, how could I kill her?" ”

Ruo Su thought for a while and said, "Who is that?" ”

Fang Xu ordered the people around him: "Investigate this matter thoroughly immediately, we must find out the murderer." ”

Fang Hao stood beside Xiao Er's corpse and sighed, "This pair of mandarin ducks is finally together forever. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu glared at Fang Hao fiercely: "How can you be so ruthless? ”

Fang Hao said: "If people who love each other can die together, it is not a bad thing. ”

Mrs. Fang stood up: "I'm afraid that some people can't even die together." ”

A sneer seemed to float across Mrs. Fang's face, and Fang Xu helped Mrs. Fang and said, "We should go back." ”

Mrs. Fang brushed Fang Hao's body, leaving behind a faint disdain, and if she seemed to understand what Fang Hao meant, she said, "Brother Fang Hao, who do you think did it?" ”

Fang Hao looked at the figures of the two: "Since everyone is dead, why bother pursuing so much?" I'll arrange for someone to bury them properly. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu returned to the Marshal's Mansion and asked, "The relationship between Fang Hao and Madam Fang seems to be very strange. ”

"What's strange?" Ruosu asked rhetorically.

"It seems that Mrs. Fang is only close to Fang Xu, and Fang Hao doesn't feel like a mother and son." Ruo Su expressed his doubts.

"Of course not, Mrs. Fang is the general's biological mother, not Fang Hao's biological mother. It is said that Fang Hao's biological mother passed away when she was born, and when Master Fang brought him back from outside, Mrs. Fang tossed the whole family upside down. At that time, Mrs. Fang had nothing to do, so she could only let Fang Hao be the eldest son. However, this concubine and concubine are naturally different, and Fang Hao's life is not good. "Ruosu said something.

Lan Xiaoqiu realized: "No wonder I always feel that Mrs. Fang is angry with Fang Hao." What kind of person is Fang Hao's biological mother? ”

"No one knows about this except Master Fang, and even the closest people around Master Fang don't know. Fang Hao seemed to have been born out of thin air, which made the entire Fang family mess up, and it was said that Mrs. Fang had also been investigating the matter of Fang Hao's biological mother. But no matter how shrewd she was, maybe Master Fang would bring this secret into the coffin. ”

"Poor Fang Hao doesn't even know who his biological mother is, no wonder he doesn't like to stay at home, it turns out that there is nothing to be nostalgic for in that home." Lan Xiaoqiu originally thought that Fang Hao was a gentleman, and he took the Fang family's money and squandered it idly, and even Lan Xiaoqiu always felt that he couldn't even compare to the scheming Fang Xu, at least he was still working for the court on an errand, which could be regarded as serving the country. However, from this point of view, Fang Hao's life is under the fence.

Ruo Su took Lan Xiaoqiu's hand: "Because I see Fang Hao like this, I especially don't like my father to marry again, firstly, because I am afraid that my mother's status will be reduced, and secondly, I am afraid that the mother and daughter are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "I can also see it, especially which red rain, bewitching and ruthless." ”

As he was talking, he heard the sound of smashing outside the house, and the two ran out to look, and saw that Hongyu was directing something not far away: "Here, put the bricks here, move quickly, on a hot day, the old lady doesn't want to be exposed to the sun." ”

Ruosu asked, "What is this to build?" ”

Hongyu said perfunctorily: "Move the kitchen over." ”

"What? No way. Ruosu stepped forward to stop.

"Why not? This family is not up to you to marry your daughter. Mom agreed, and it's convenient for you to move the kitchen over, isn't it? If you want to eat something, the kitchen will deliver it as soon as it is ready, and the food will not be unpalatable because it has been left for a long time. Hongyu was complacent, but when he saw Ruosu, he pulled out his long sword and smashed the stone bricks: "Stop, don't cover it." ”

"I've put up with you long enough on weekdays, don't you have to make an inch." Red Rain's face flushed, pointing at Ruosu and shouting.

Ruosu said: "This should be what I am going to say, right?" The location of the kitchen was chosen by my mother, and no one could change the rules set by my mother. ”

"I said to change it, your mother has been dead for more than ten years, and now the dynasty has changed, and you still hold on to the rules of that dead old woman." After Hongyu finished speaking, he felt that something was flowing out of his throat, but it was a long sword pointed directly at Hongyu's throat, and the thin white neck was cut by the blade, and a red blood bay flowed out.

Lan Xiaoqiu was frightened and grabbed Ruosu's arm: "You will kill her." ”

Hongyu wiped his neck, saw the blood red on his palm, and shouted in panic: "Kill, kill." ”

Ruosu threw down his sword and turned to leave.

Sure enough, the marshal's mansion was in trouble that day, and the marshal pushed open Ruosu's door angrily under the crying of Hongyu and Cheng Rong: "Ruosu, Hongyu was injured by you?" ”

Ruosu stood up and wanted to explain, but was slapped by the marshal: "I spoil you too much on weekdays, you are so cruel to your sisters, if you use half a minute harder, Hongyu will be in a different place." ”

Hongyu's neck was already wrapped with a thick strip of cloth, and a blood mark was still obvious. It's just that Lan Xiaoqiu found that the original half-inch mouth was processed into a ravine around the neck by the mother and daughter, and Lan Xiaoqiu stepped forward to explain: "Miss Ruosu didn't mean it, it was a red rain ...... at that time."

"There's no place for you to talk here." The marshal drank Lan Xiaoqiu.

Ruo Su had tears in her eyes, but she didn't say more, she glared at Cheng Rong and Hongyu, and the two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at Ruo Su directly.

"Admit your mistake to my sister." The marshal pointed at Ruosu, still angry.

Ruosu looked at the marshal, held a sword in both hands, and said angrily: "My daughter will not admit her mistake since she was a child, if her father insists on her daughter admitting her mistake, then her father will kill her daughter." ”

"Ah, marshal, how can the eldest lady threaten the marshal with death? It's really unfilial. Cheng Rong held the marshal's arm and provoked.

Ruosu still looked at the marshal with tears, and had no intention of stopping, the marshal really drew his sword, and Lan Xiaoqiu exclaimed: "Don't." ”
