The fast travel is too late

Chapter 226 She is a fish in the pond (4)

From Lu Zishan's point of view, what happened in the Lu family's ancestral house had a lot to do with Lu Ziyu. It could even be said that without Lu Ziyu, the Lu family's ancestral house would not have suffered such a catastrophe.

Uncle Lu will not die.

Xin Wu turned her head to look at Uncle Lu who was lying on the quilt. Last night she complained that it was too cold in winter. After daytime, she couldn't help but rejoice that it was winter now. Only in this cold weather could Uncle Lu's body Only in this way can it be preserved relatively completely, so that it will not immediately become rotten and lose its original appearance.

The people living here are all from the side branches, and almost everyone who was able to leave yesterday left, only Lu Zishan and Xin Wu were left, and perhaps the officers and soldiers who were not far away could be added to their shifts.

The main family, headed by Lu Zhensheng, gathered in the West Garden near the ancestral hall, and they had no time to manage the two guys who were alone.

It happened to be the turn of the officers and soldiers near them to switch defenses, and the person who replaced them was gnawing pancakes in their hands. The hard pancakes were separated by a distance and should not smell anything. However, Xinwujia had not eaten for three meals yesterday. , now my stomach is growling with hunger, and I don’t even have a mouthful of hot water to drink, so I can only close my eyes to reassure myself that I’m not hungry.

The spiritual victory method is not very effective when the stomach is hungry.

Xin Wu pressed her stomach with her hand, it was soft and she could still bark.

"Brother, if they just want to teach Lu Ziyu a lesson, then when will these officers and soldiers leave! I'm a little hungry."

"It should be soon." Lu Zishan was a little flustered, but he didn't show it. His previous speculation may be true, but he didn't rule out some mistakes. If the third prince's subordinates are really sick, they would rather make a big pen. If he insisted on destroying the people in the Lu family's ancestral house, he had no choice but to pray to God that their luck would not be too bad.

For uncertain things, Lu Zishan tried his best to think of the good, at least he had to guide Xin Wu to think of the good so that she would not be too scared.

Lu Zishan has been secretly paying attention to Xin Wu's movements since he woke up. When he found that the little girl was covering her stomach with her hands and her lips were pale and chapped, thinking about the time had passed for a long time, he already felt hungry, not to mention the fact that the size was different. What about the pampered Xin Wu!

The house was too badly damaged, and the food found in it could not be eaten. Lu Zishan reached into his sleeve pocket for a long time and found a bag of cold pastries. This was specially bought for Xin Wu before he came back yesterday, but after returning Too many things happened, I didn't think about it for a while.

After opening it after a night, the original pattern can no longer be seen, but it can still be used to fill the stomach.

"The snacks are already cold. Ah Wu will eat some alive first. From now on, I will never let Ah Wu fall into such a situation again."

"Elder brother eats too." Xin Wu smiled at him.

Half of the scattered dim sum turned into powder, and half of it was difficult to maintain a fast shape. When I ate it, it was not as good as freshly baked dim sum, and I still choked my throat, but it was still enough to fill my stomach.

Later, the officers and soldiers surrounding the Lu family's ancestral house did retreat, and the head of the Lu family and the elders who were locked in the yamen were also released, but the people who died in the fire were just dead, and the people from the main family were at most out. A coffin, other than that, there is not even a decent explanation.

Originally, Xin Wu didn't want the coffin from her family. She still had two bank notes with a relatively large amount on her body. When she went out to the bank to exchange the silver, she didn't need to look at her family's face at all.

But Lu Zishan said that the money is not revealed, he is a literati with no power to restrain a chicken, and she is just a little girl, if people find out that they still have a lot of money, there will be troubles at that time. Well, my family won't give them any help, so it's better to be careful in this special period.

Unable to replace Uncle Lu with a coffin made of better wood according to his own wishes, Xin Wu looked depressed.

And because there are too many people who died this time, the coffins that can be placed in the hall are the right of the family. The side branches like Uncle Lu are all placed in the yard. Although there is a shed outside, it is not good. Many, as for those servants, those who have relatives and friends can still get a pair of thin coffins to be buried in a hurry, and those who have no relatives and friends can only have a straw mat and throw them to the Yizhuang outside the city. After all, there are no dead bodies in the wilderness.

While packing up the body of the deceased, Xin Wu quietly walked to the side yard.

Not all the main family members lived together, and some of the main family members who were not valued were sent to live in the area where the offshoot lived. Lu Rouqing, who Xin Wu wanted to help revenge, lived nearby.

The first fire in the Lu family was Lu Rouqing's yard, and only Lu Rouqing's yard was on fire at that time, unlike all the yards that caught fire at almost the same time later, it was too late for people to escape, let alone put out the fire.

"Where did you go just now?" Lu Zishan changed a shroud for his father after the coffin was delivered by the master's house. After putting him in the coffin, he couldn't see his cousin. He almost thought that the little girl was taken advantage of. Randomly kidnapped.

Now seeing Xin Wu slowly swaying back, his expression is still not very good.

Xin Wu: "Brother, do you still remember Lu Rouqing? I went to her yard just now."

"Lu Rouqing, is this a friend you made in my family?"

Hearing that it was a girl's name, Lu Zishan thought he had guessed the reason for Xin Wu's behavior. Perhaps it was because of fear, so he wanted to talk to his friend to ease his mood.

However, Xin Wu's expression was very serious, not at all like he had just complained about his bitterness to someone.

Then Xin Wu explained to Lu Zishan what happened to Lu Rouqing in short words, and said that Lu Rouqing's courtyard was the only one that was not completely destroyed in the fire except the courtyard near the ancestral hall.

The owner of this yard was brutally killed before the fire broke out, and tried to destroy the body, leaving behind a charred corpse.

"Since it's all charcoal, how can we be sure that that person is Lu Rouqing? Maybe someone wants to hide the truth and find the corpse from other places. Maybe it's just a fake."

Lu Zishan didn't know who Lu Rouqing was, but this did not prevent him from guessing the truth based on known clues.

In fact, Xin Wu didn't know who Lu Rouqing was. If Yuhuan hadn't confirmed and confirmed that the piece of coke was Lu Rouqing, she would have doubted whether it was true or not.

You can't tell Lu Zishan about Yuhuan, but you can say what the Lu family said.

"I heard from Lu Rouqing's nanny that the corpse was Lu Rouqing, and that she could tell her identity from the earrings and bracelet. Brother, do you think the person who killed her was the same as the person who set fire to the ancestral house? where?"

Xin Wu wants to take revenge for Lu Rouqin, but everything has priorities. She doesn't care about first come, first served, she just wants to arrange what to do first according to the importance in her heart.

Compared with Lu Rouqing, she wants to avenge Uncle Lu first.

Of course, if the people who killed Lu Rouqing and Uncle Lu were the same group, it would save some trouble.
