Relief

Until the middle-aged man shot the arrow, everything seemed to happen in an instant.Xie Zhixu had been praying that someone on the cliff would come up with a solution for both, but when the flames shot up into the sky, he knew that the Liang family had cut off the stealth thread burning towards Liang Ting, pushing Feng Zhichang to dead end.

Liang Ting was not hanging above the waves, there was a stone platform under his feet, and the flammable hay on the stone platform was paved by Xie Zhixu himself. At that time, he complained that he could not understand Feng Zhichang's thinking at all.

In fact, he doesn't really understand it now, but he knows that when the stone platform starts to burn, it means that the Liang family on the cliff has made a choice.There can't be two Liang Tings in this world, and I know that they will always take care of the aftermath with their own hands.

The mountain they were on was not far from the cliff, Xie Zhixu could clearly hear the soldiers rushing down the mountain.

"Let's go," he finally tried to persuade Feng Zhichang, "If you don't go, it's really too late!"

The middle-aged man jumped up in response, stepped on the top of the tree and flew down the mountain.

Xie Zhixu: "..."

It would be great if the second senior brother was so obedient! ! !

The two hills and mountains facing the lake stand opposite each other, both of which are cliffs with no grass growing. A small boat is parked beside the beach, and a middle-aged man is already standing on the bow to anchor.

The officers and soldiers and the guards of the Liang Mansion poured in continuously against the background of flames burning through half the sky on the stone platform, and the ground began to tremble uncomfortably.Xie Zhixu held the push handle of the wheelchair, regardless of whether he wanted to take Feng Zhichang away.

Feng Zhichang held down the back of his hand and hooked his fingers to signal him to stand in front of him.

They were already very close to the cliff, and Feng Zhichang kicked him out.

This time, the right leg was used, and the cool lake breeze at night opened the corner of the robe, revealing the hard grain of sandalwood.

It was a wooden leg.

As the lake wind blew past his ears, Xie Zhixu fell off the cliff for the second time, and I was told that Chang changed from being in front of him to being on top of his head, and the mountain began to shake.The rumbling roar erupted from the inside out.Xie Zhixu remembered, the smell in the cave tunnel, he should never forget it for the rest of his life, but he suddenly realized it when it happened.

That's saltpeter and sulfur.

Sparks fell on the haystack on the stone platform, ignited the wire, and burned all the way down the tunnel to the bottom of their feet. I was told that the mountain would often be blown up, and every Liang Ting in the world would be buried one by one.

The fall seemed to have no end, Xie Zhixu stretched out his hand in the air, seeing Feng Zhichang above his head finally left him with an inexplicable smile.

The mountain exploded in the next moment.

The huge impact pushed him far into the waves of the lake, he was pushed up and down by the current, the isolated island was submerged in a new sun, and the burning clouds spread across the sky, the entire lake and his eyes were dazzling Turned red in the light.

"Fake! It's fake!"

The mountains were burning, and countless people were arguing in his ears.

"That bitch took a fake one to fool us!"

"They're burning mountains! They're trying to force us out!"

The boy's small body curled up on the ground, with a puddle of blood that had dried up under his body. Someone stepped on him, as if he couldn't vent his anger, and the people around him kicked him around. red.

"Kill this kid! He is useless!"

"He's a liability!"

The sharp tip of the eagle's claw hooked Xie Zhixu's back collar and pulled him out of the lake.

Xie Zhixu vomited on the lake beach, the hills in front of them no longer existed, replaced by a mound of soil that was still collapsing and landslide.

The middle-aged man stepped on the bow of the boat, keeping his head away from the flying sand, and his iron claws grabbed the stones that fell to his eyes, like pinching tofu, calm and simple.

Xie Zhixu vomited away the sour lake water in his stomach, and got up to go to the collapsed area, when the middle-aged man grabbed him by the collar.

"What are you doing!" Xie Zhixu was furious, he drew his sword to block the claws of the eagle, and shouted at the middle-aged man, "He was buried below! If you don't save him, he will really die! What are you? People, aren't you his follower, shouldn't you protect him from harm!"

The face of the middle-aged man did not change at all, like a wooden man faithfully carrying out an order, and even his voice lacked fluctuations: "The elder's last order is to send you back to Suzhou City safely."

Aftershocks continued on the ground, Xie Zhixu couldn't stand still, fell into the wet mud, Qing Jingtian dropped his hands and fell into the constantly rising and falling water waves.He looked at the rock wall that burst into countless buckets of gravel blocking his way, and realized that he had no ability to rescue Feng Zhichang.

He just realized.Wu Li had already warned him.

"Actually, it's not that no one rescued him back then, his mother came..." Xie Zhixu said, not knowing who he was talking to, "But bringing a fake exchange item angered the kidnappers, and he was almost killed. So he already knew it well, and carefully planned this choice, just to prove that he is a fake."

"But I haven't had time to tell him that there is only one Liang Ting in the world, and there is only one Qiongshan second senior brother." Xie Zhixu picked up Qingjingtian as a crutch and stood up, still walking towards the collapsed area.In order to find Feng Zhichang, Qiongshan has put in so much effort from his husband to the third senior brother, the fourth senior brother, and himself. He will never let Feng Zhichang be buried on the isolated island in vain.

Otherwise, where would the portrait of You Chun with the group photo of the three of them be hung to prove that Qiongshan once had an amazingly talented second disciple.

The explosive landslide was too dangerous, and he was blocked by falling rocks several times.

"Hey."

It was the voice of the middle-aged man.They don't know each other's names.

I don't call you hello, Xie Zhixu thought angrily, everyone has their own unique identity.

——That's right, you have a talent for enlightening people.

boom.

Xie Zhixu was knocked down to the ground by falling rocks, he turned his head while supporting his sword, and clenched his teeth so as not to let himself break through his self-restraint and scold his mother - I was told that he often stays in the lake beach area that is safer than him, with middle-aged people guarding him, Not even a grain of sand touched the corner of his clothes.

In that wheelchair, the two wooden wheels somehow deformed into long strips of pry boards, and some scattered gravel and sand were still stained on it.

Fengzhi often slides down a slippery slope.

What a perverted wheelchair this is.Feng Zhichang moved the mechanism on the back of the chair again, and the pry board was disassembled and buckled into circular wooden wheels.

"This wheelchair..." Xie Zhixu said with difficulty.

—Mr. did it.Tsk, you also know that he likes to do handwork when he has nothing to do, and the bamboo stick is no longer enough for him.

The lake water rose again, and the boat was eager to go into the lake.The middle-aged man carried the wheelchair and followed Feng Zhichang onto the boat.

— Hurry up, boy.

He really called himself a little boy.The ups and downs of emotions made Xie Zhixu dizzy, his panting caused a dull pain in his chest, he took two steps towards the lake, the dull pain turned into a sharp pain, his feet softened, and finally remembered that his chest had been injured three times, the last kick I was told to kick it often, and I was speechless for the last time before I fell into a coma.

The little garden is full of spring light.There are peach red, pear white, and cauliflower yellow.Beside the flowing water bridge, the yinger is singing, the swallows are dancing, and the butterflies are busy.

This is a spring poem by a famous writer in this dynasty. Because it is very simple, popular and catchy, it is often read as a nursery rhyme by scholarly families to enlighten children.Xie Zhixu was able to memorize everything backwards from the age of one to the age of four.He woke up during this poem, and seeing the bright spring light outside the window, he thought it was his mother Yu Xilian who was reciting the poem by the window.

Of course not, it was because he thought of Wu Li, the third senior brother who wanted to show his literary temperament from time to time.

"Yo, you're awake." Wu Li remained calm, neither threw his book and knelt down beside his couch and cried, "Xiao Wu, brother, I thought I'd never see you again!", nor did he run to the courtyard Zhong shouted, "Come on, Xiao Wu finally woke up!"

Either his injuries were completely insignificant, or he hadn't been unconscious long enough for his emotions to brew.

However, according to Xie Zhixuan, it should be a matter of his third senior brother's personal style.

Wu Li turned to the next page, twirled the peach branch used for landscape by the window, and said affectionately: "Who will share the wine and poetry? Tears melt and the powder is heavy..."

Xie Zhixu propped up his upper body and wanted to sit up, but found that the movement was quite inconvenient. It turned out that there was a thick bandage wrapped around his chest, exuding a strong smell of medicine.He was leaning on the couch pillow, and there were elegant pavilions and flowing water in the garden outside the window, but there were no servants coming and going.

"Where is this?"

"Second's house. Didn't the city be closed some time ago and officers and soldiers searched it? It's inconvenient, so I bought it and settled here temporarily."

Xie Zhixu: "......... so rich."

"That's right," Wu Li agreed, "I only know that being rich can turn ghosts around, but I don't know that having money can even settle the crime of kidnapping."

Um?Xie Zhixu's just sober mind was slow, and he didn't understand what Wu Li meant.

"When you first came back from Taihu Lake, the lakeside was blocked, so you couldn't enter the city. Hey, it turned out that the poor couldn't enter the city. The guards let you in after the second child gave you some money."

"Ah? You can't, it's a city that was ordered by the Zhizhou to close down."

Wu Li put down the book, sat on the side of the couch, laughed at Xie Zhixu and said, "You think it's impossible because you don't have enough money. Guess how much the second child gave to the head of the guard?"

"How many?"

"50 taels."

"........."

"........."

50 taels!Destroying the spring bottle and presenting tables and chairs to pay for Yueguan Mountain’s 50 taels would have emptied his family. 50 taels is enough for an ordinary family’s living expenses for three or four years.

What a loss!Lost everything!

Xie Zhixu shouted: "My mother!!"

Wu Li was taken aback by him, and responded casually: "Hey! Oh my little junior brother, you should be less emotional, you are so startled when your bones are broken."

Xie Zhixu's injury was at the sternum, luckily it wasn't broken, it was just a slight fracture, and it will be fine after a few months of recovery.The people who hunted down the kidnappers in the city dispersed long ago, and the Liang family did not pursue them any further. The brothers and sisters in Qiongshan all lived in Fengzhichang's garden. Xie Zhixu was in a coma for the past few days, unexpectedly he was very peaceful, and no one came to disturb him.

"Everyone in the city said that this is a strange thing," Wu Li said. "After coming back from Taihu Lake, Mrs. Liang refused to go to Zhizhou to pursue this matter on the grounds of family affairs. Even Mr. Liang, who had suffered so much, remained silent. It seems to be a tacit agreement to let it go. A kidnapping case that shocked the whole city has finally become the Liang family's family affairs, and outsiders are not allowed to intervene. Do you think it is strange."

Not surprising.

Xie Zhi humbly thought, as expected, Mrs. Liang always knew that this Liang Ting was not that Liang Ting.

Wu Li grinned: "I don't think it's strange either. It wouldn't be strange if I knew the inside story. But I still didn't expect that Mrs. Qiu didn't show up until the end. You know, it was her fault that caused Liang Ting to almost lose his life. , I thought she would think of making up for one or two through this incident."

Xie Zhixu asked strangely: "Brother also knows about Mrs. Qiu?"

"I don't know, but there is someone close to Mrs. Qiu who knows."

"Who?"

"Her dowry maid, Xiaohe."

It turns out that Feng Zhichang left Liuliu in the city earlier to imitate the kidnappers back then, and sent a letter to the Liang family at a critical moment, informing them to exchange the hostages with a golden book deed.

Wu Li not only didn't stop it after knowing this, but also suggested that since it was an imitation, even the recipient should be exactly the same. The person who received the letter was Mrs. Qiu, and now it is Mrs. Qiu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this letter was delivered to Mrs. Qiu, she understood what was going on, and even guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was her own son.

As for the reason, Wu Dao couldn't reach it, but Xie Zhixu knew that it was Mrs. Qiu in Qingying Villa who saw Feng Zhichang's shocking side, which gave her a vague understanding.

Since marrying into the Liang family, Mrs. Qiu has been somewhat evasive and ignorant of Zen, but this time she is willing to obey Feng Zhichang's plan. The maid Xiaohe next to her said that it is because Mrs. Qiu has always been concerned about the past. Guilty for making mistakes.

"Wait, wait!" Xie Zhixu stopped Wu Li's words in horror, "You showed up in front of Mrs. Qiu! You exposed yourself and you haven't been arrested yet!"

Wu Li said: "That's because your senior brother, I planned the plan ahead of time and guessed the disagreement between Mrs. Yiqiu and her husband's and natal family. Wrong. And I don't know what the second child has to do. In order to keep you, the best way is to ventilate with his mother first, so as not to disturb his arrangement, but also to get you in a critical moment. Your senior brother I've worked hard, and it's not easy, okay?"

According to Xiaohe, everyone in the Liang Mansion thought that the discord between the head of the family and his wife was because the lady had not handed over the kidnapper's letter in time, which delayed the time to save her.But this is only one mistake, in fact there are two mistakes.

Mrs. Qiu hesitated for half a month. When meeting impatient kidnappers, the hostages were enough to die several times. She finally remembered that Liang Ting was not only the crystallization of a bad relationship, but also an innocent child who was under ten years old and knew nothing. Should be rescued.

However, what the kidnappers want is the family heirloom of the Liang family, the family honor bestowed by the □□ emperor—the golden book deed that can be used as a gold medal to avoid death.In Mrs. Qiu's heart, her husband disliked this son as much as she did, so she took it for granted that Liang Zhen would never hand over the golden letter to save Liang Ting.Fortunately, on the night of their wedding, Liang Zhen had introduced the inside and outside of Liang's mansion to Madam Qiu in detail, hoping that she could adapt to life in Liang's mansion as soon as possible, including the warehouse where the golden book of glory was kept.

Mrs. Qiu didn't alarm anyone, she secretly went into the warehouse to take out the golden book, and went to the lake island overnight to exchange her son, but who knew that the golden book Liang Zhen told her was a fake to prevent thieves.

In this scam, from the beginning to the end, no one has really been trusted.
