The fast travel is too late

Chapter 224 She is a fish in the pond (2)

Uncle Lu was lying on the edge of the threshold, the collapsed beams were pressing on his waist, and he couldn't breathe anymore.

The indigo robe he was wearing was custom-made by someone before he left the house, and the material he used was also the most fashionable material in our family. Lu Zishan also had a robe of a similar style, and his was a moon-white one. In the cage, I didn't wear it out, and now it seems that I can't wear it out.

Xin Wu next to her was covering her lips, her body was on the verge of falling, and she couldn't make a sound.

Lu Zishan closed his eyes and allowed himself to be weak for a moment. When his father was still there, he was happy to be a child. Apart from showing his elder brother appearance in front of Xin Wu, he was also good at acting coquettishly and showing off in front of his parents. There will be again, he has to take on the responsibility of being the only child in the family, he can no longer play childish temper as usual, and no one will work hard to clean up the mess for him.

From now on, like Xin Wu, he will be without father and mother.

No matter how much you want to escape, it is useless to imagine that what is in front of you is just a nightmare. Apart from making yourself more cowardly, there is no other use.

Lu Zishan's weakness was quickly hidden in his heart, and when he opened his eyes again, he was the brother who was as reliable as his uncle in front of Xin Wu.

The debris on Uncle Lu's body was too heavy, Lu Zishan and Xin Wu alone could not get rid of those things, and the idea of ​​moving Uncle Lu's body out of the ruins was not yet possible.

They could only move the bits and pieces around Uncle Lu aside, this time Lu Zishan didn't stop Xin Wu from doing anything.

"Ah Wu, I also want to protect you for the rest of your life, but I can't do it now, and it's not even clear whether our lives can be saved, so from now on, don't open your mouth in front of outsiders. Don't wipe the ashes on your face with your sleeves, I know it's dirty, but listen to me and don't touch it, okay?"

Lu Zishan grabbed a handful of ashes from the ground, stretched out his hands and wiped them on Xin Wu's face and hands, and also signaled her to wipe her neck and ears tightly. If it really got to the point of no return, he would just Being able to run away with Xin Wu, in this way, there will be fewer people who can recognize them if something is wiped on their faces.

Xin Wu bit her lip, obediently followed Lu Zishan's words, and soon became a disgraced little girl.

After clearing away everything that could be cleaned around Uncle Lu, Xin Wu grabbed Lu Zishan's sleeve and wanted to ask him what happened to the Lu family.

Why did it almost collapse from within overnight?
The servants in the Lu family's ancestral home are all sons of the Lu family, and their loyalty is very guaranteed. It has never been said that any of them has betrayed the master they serve.But this tragedy in the Lu family collapsed from the inside out. Someone set off gunpowder in the house, and another group of people was responsible for setting the fire. Whether it was the yard where the family lived, or the side branch from afar, there was no place. survived.

"Brother, uncle, isn't my family very powerful? Why did they become like this within a few days after we came here?" Xin Wu was really puzzled. The journey of turning into a jade ring failed to introduce her to this world. , All the information she got was slowly collected by herself over the years, and even the task of helping people to avenge was released after she came to the family, so she really knew very little.

That is to say, based on what she knows so far, there is no way to deduce whether the disaster of the family comes from the inside or the outside. Xin Wu can only look at Lu Zishan expectantly, maybe he can know some other news when he is walking outside!
Lu Zishan stretched out his hand to cover Xin Wu's eyes. The little girl's eyes were too clear, and the dust on her face made the light in her eyes even more obvious. He sighed, thinking of the news he had heard in the restaurants outside these days. , somewhat regretted agreeing with Xin Wu's decision to take her back to the original home.

He heard from people outside that our family has produced a very famous child prodigy in recent years. He can read at the age of three, master poetry at the age of five, and write poetry at the age of seven. In the imperial examination, he was hand-picked by the current emperor as the number one scholar, which attracted many girls in Beijing to throw sachets and purses at him, wishing to promise him with his body.

If this is the case, then the degree of specialness is only average, and Lu Zishan can't afford to emphasize it again.

The problem is that Qilin'er from the Lu family doesn't do good things, instead of learning well, he has to get involved in the struggle for the throne.

He himself was fighting on the front line far away in central Beijing, for the appreciation of the old emperor, and others' schemes against him would not hurt him personally, but it is different here in the Lu family ancestral house.

I heard that their city is the fiefdom of the third prince, and most of the officials in the city are from the lineage of the third prince. However, Lu Ziyu is the unicorn of the Lu family, and the master behind him is the fifth prince. Ziyu's design made the third prince make a big ugly face in front of the old emperor. The third prince didn't do anything to Lu Ziyu himself, but just revealed his dissatisfaction with Lu Ziyu in front of his subordinates. He clears stumbling blocks.

It's impossible for them to do anything to Lu Ziyu under the old emperor's nose, but it doesn't mean they really have nothing to do.

There are not many people in the Lu family's ancestral home who are as close to my heart as Lu Ziyu. Even if he is really dead, he can easily get away with just a few death row inmates. Even if Lu Ziyu wants to settle the account with his wife, he will have to look at it. How many people can survive in the Lu family's ancestral home.

"It's getting dark, are you the only two still alive here?" Lu Zhensheng didn't get any news from the officers and soldiers, so he turned back to comfort people in the Lu family's ancestral house. If there is no injury, arrange it to a place that can shelter from the wind and rain first. The dead person has no time to take care of it, so he will leave it for the time being. After the people in the main family are settled, he will come to appease the people in the side branch.

Because the Lu family’s main family’s once-in-ten-year ceremony is about to be held, there are quite a few people from the side branches. Lu Zhensheng has always believed that only the main family of the Lu family is the real Lu family, and those from the side branches are poor relatives who like to play autumn winds. necessary.

Therefore, his attitude was not very good. Although he didn't expressly vent the anger he received from the officers and soldiers on the side branch people, there must be some contempt.

Lu Zishan stood in front of Xin Wu, looking coldly at Lu Zhensheng who didn't take them seriously. According to his original temper, he could directly quarrel with Lu Zhensheng at this moment. He An held back his dissatisfaction and tried not to show it on the surface. When he came out, only the fists formed by the two hands in his sleeves were trembling slightly. He said, "Yes, only my sister and I are still alive."

He didn't want to endure it but he had to. If he ignored his own safety just for the sake of a quick moment, how could he be worthy of his father!
What's more, he was still alive to take care of Xin Wu from harm.

In this way, he will not be able to act rashly.

However, if he endured it, others would think he was easy to bully.
