Chapter Forty-Eight: The Same End of the World (4)
But at this moment, a commotion was heard from outside the door, followed by three big men rushing in, and one of them shouted: "Found it!
Lin Zongbian's heart froze, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You... What did you find?"
The big man at the head couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the person who was asking him was Lin Zongbian, but then he hurriedly saluted and replied: "If you go back to the Lord of the Lin League, it is the remains of your wife and child that have been recovered." ”
Hearing this bad news, Lin Zongbian only felt that his eyes were dark, and his whole body was immediately sore, and he staggered back a few steps in a row, seeing that he was about to fall, but fortunately, Master Tongze on the side was quick and immediately reached out to help him.
After a few flicks of his fingers, he finally regained his strength, and immediately ordered: "Hurry... Take me to see it. ”
The big man promised, turned his head and walked out, Lin Zongbian followed closely and stepped out of the door, and everyone in the courtyard hurriedly followed.
When he arrived outside the door, he saw that a wide-axle carriage had stopped under the stone steps, and Lin Zongbian pushed the big man who was blocking in front of him away and rushed to the side of the carriage.
He reached for the curtain with trembling hands, but as soon as his fingers touched the curtain, the movement stopped, and there was a strange look of timidity in his eyes, but after a moment, he finally lifted the curtain.
In the carriage is a large and a small two bodies placed side by side, the two bodies are neatly dressed and clean, obviously have been tidied by others, but the exposed skin is white and swollen, obviously caused by long-term immersion in water, among which the body of the baby on the left is also because of the thin skin and tender flesh, the flesh has begun to show festering, and the right half of the face has fallen off most of the flesh, at first glance, hideous and terrifying, but Rao is so, Lin Zongbian still recognized him at a glance is his own child.
Seeing that the bodies of his wife and children were in front of him, the trace of luck and hope in Lin Zongbian's heart finally collapsed, his will could no longer hold on, only to feel that the strength around his body seemed to be instantly drained, his knees instantly weakened, and he immediately fell to the ground.
Yi Liangwen rushed forward to help him up, patted him lightly on the back, and comforted: "Zong Yan, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn!"
Lin Zongbian was silent, just staring blankly at the remains of his wife and children in the carriage, and no one responded to comfort him during the period. Everyone had nothing to do, so they had to stay quietly by the side, silently waiting for him to recover.
Fortunately, Lin Zongbian did not let everyone wait for a long time, and after half a quarter of an hour, he suddenly raised his hand and waved it, indicating that he was fine, and then slowly stood up, facing Master Tongze and said, "Please master bury my wife and children for the excess." After saying this, he didn't wait for Master Ze to answer, and separated from the audience and walked towards the mansion alone.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that Lin Zongyan's behavior was really strange, and some people were already whispering: "What's wrong with Lord Lin Meng? Why did he leave?" Some people speculated: "Isn't Lord Lin Meng too sad and damaged his mind?"
Yi Liangwen also felt strange, so he stood on tiptoe, looked at Lin Zongbian over everyone's heads, and asked, "Zongbian, where are you going?"
Lin Zongyan didn't look back, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll go and see Chu Qing..."
Everyone turned around one after another and watched Lin Zongbian leave, but when they saw his back bleak and slow steps, they couldn't help but sigh for a while, and they all felt pity and sympathy for what happened to him.
After Lin Zongbian's back disappeared, Yi Liangwen beckoned to everyone: "Let's go back and rest first, if there is something, I will send someone to inform everyone." He turned to Master Tong Ze and said, "As for the aftermath of the cooking, let's do it." ”
Master Tong Ze had no objection, immediately reached out and lowered the curtain of the carriage door, stepped forward and grabbed the reins, and walked slowly in the direction of the side door. Yi Liangwen waved his hand to the people who were still reluctant to leave, and then hurriedly caught up with Master Tongze and walked side by side. The two talked as they walked, as if they were discussing the aftermath, but they disappeared after a while. At this point, everyone retracted their gaze, and then dispersed.
In the house, Lin Zongbian slowly walked to the door of Zhou Chuqing's wing room with heavy steps, and without knocking on the door, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door in. In the room, Lu Yuanhuai and his wife were sitting in front of the bed, and Zhou Chuqing on the bed was still unconscious.
Lin Zongbian glanced at the three of them and asked astringently, "How is Chu Qing's injury?"
Lu Yuanhuai glanced back at Lin Zongbian and hesitated: "If it hurts the heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time." ”
At this time, his wife Bai Fengyi, who was sitting next to him, sighed: "Why do you want to hide it." He raised his eyes to look at Lin Zongbian, and said: "Zongbian, whether Chu Qing can wake up in this life is beyond the reach of manpower, only God knows." ”
Lu Yuanhuai glared at his wife, and hurriedly said, "Don't be discouraged, Zong Yan will definitely do my best to heal Chu Qing." ”
Lin Zongbian stepped forward, stared at Zhou Chuqing on the bed for a long time, and suddenly asked, "I heard that everyone who went to Nanhu this time was hit by a poison called 'Returning Incense', right?"
Lu Yuanhuai nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed this poison." ”
Lin Zongyan's gaze suddenly became fierce, and he asked in a deep voice, "How did Liu Fu get the poison from you?"
Lu Yuanhuai said blankly: "I... I don't know. ”
Bai Fengyi, who was on the side, was slightly annoyed when she saw Lin Zongyan's unkind words, and said, "What does Lord Lin mean by this? Isn't it suspecting that my husband has colluded with that thief?"
Lu Yuanhuai hurriedly explained: "How could I do such a thing? On the 'Bladeless Cliff' that day, the widow said it clearly, this 'Returning Incense' was secretly stolen by him, and I didn't know anything about it!"
Lin Zongbian's face was cloudy, and it took a long time before he calmed down, and said lightly: "I don't mean to blame Brother Lu, it's just that this poison is very harmful, so it's better to destroy it as soon as possible." ”
Lu Yuanhuai even claimed that it was, and said: "It should be so, it should be so." When I get back, I'll destroy all this poison. ”
Bai Fengyi snorted coldly, but when she was about to speak, she was stopped by her husband's eyes, so she had to roll her eyes and look away.
Lin Zongyan didn't see it, and only said: "The two of you have worked hard, please go to the guest room to rest, I want to stay alone with Chu Qing for a while." ”
Lu Yuanhuai said: "Okay, then this place will be handed over to Zong Yan to take care of, but if you need it, call me at any time." After saying that, he took his wife and walked out of the house.
Bai Fengyi held her breath in her heart, and as soon as she went out, she vented to her husband: "This Lin Zongyi is also rude, and he actually suspects you in a weird way, it's really annoying!"
Lu Yuanhuai hurriedly pointed to his lips to signal his wife to shut up, and then glanced back at the door, before he scolded in a low voice: "You don't want to talk nonsense here, Zong Yan's family is in such a disaster, it is inevitable that the mood will be sad and angry, and it is inevitable that the tone is not good." Besides, he wasn't there at the time of the incident, so it's also appropriate to find out what happened after investigation, so don't think about it. ”
Bai Fengyi pouted and said: "How can I not know the truth, but his tone is really annoying, and a person with a straight temperament like me has always been angry, so I can't help but reply to him." ”
Lu Yuanhuai sighed: "You... Alas, aside, it's time for us to go see the kids. ”
As soon as the child was mentioned, Bai Fengyi suddenly perked up, and said hurriedly: "Ouch, I patronized and took care of Chu Qing, but I even forgot about my own children, let's go, let's go." ”
Lu Yuanhuai looked at his wife's galloping figure, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Hey, what a resolute female man..."
