The three of them were walking on a small road in the country. Qi Zhongyu was always paying attention to the expression on Lu Dongfu's face. Although she no longer shed tears, her eyes were still red and her eyes were at a loss. She looked very pitiful.

She wanted to hug her to comfort her, but she couldn't speak. After all, Lu Bei is Lu Dongfu's biological father. Even if they don't have a deep relationship, but facing the pain of losing their father suddenly, Lu Dongfu's heart softened. It is human nature to feel sad and kind.

She stopped persuading her, and only held Lu Dongfu's hand tightly, giving her a hand when she staggered.

Lu Dongfu was immersed in shock and pain, and she didn't even remember how she got to the Lu family. It wasn't until she saw Lu Bei's unmoving body on the bedroom bed with her own eyes that she realized that what the servant said was true. Yes, father, is indeed dead.

She didn't expect that in just a few days of seeing each other, the other party changed from a seriously ill person to a cold and stiff corpse.

how come?

Obviously Mrs. Zhang took good care of him, and even went to Peng's house to invite a doctor with high medical skills to come over and prescribe medicine for Lu Bei.

Can……

Tears welled up again, and she walked up to take a look in person, unwilling to give up, and saw that Lu Bei's thin cheeks were bloodless, even turned purple, and her lips were black, and she was finally sure.

Her feet were weak, and if it wasn't for the support of someone beside her, she would have collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

She looked along the strength of her arm, and saw Qi Zhongyu's worried and nervous face, she couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Qi Zhongyu and cried loudly.

Qi Zhongyu patted her on the back soothingly, looked at the corpse on the bed, couldn't help frowning, and let out a long sigh.

She was here to accompany Lu Dongfu, and after an unknown amount of time, there was another rush of footsteps.

She turned her head and saw Lu Sanya. She stared blankly at the corpse on the bed, and fainted from fright.

Fortunately, Luo Zhenhai followed behind her, caught her body, nodded at Qi Zhongyu, and carried Lu Sanya to another room.

A mess.

It's not that Qi Zhongyu has never seen a dead body, it's better to say that she has killed many people herself, but those people have nothing to do with her.

And Lu Bei is the biological father of her wife Lu Dongfu, and he died so suddenly. Although she knew that Lu Bei was tortured and seriously ill when he went to serve in the army, she thought that as long as he recuperated for a while, he would be fine. Who would have thought , the other party will just die.

She kept patting Lu Dongfu's back lightly, and didn't pay attention to other details. She didn't realize it until she heard the fierce quarrel outside the door; she came here in a hurry before, but the yard was empty. Zhang and Lu Chengcai were not seen.

At that time, this doubt also flashed in her mind, before she had time to think about it, she hurriedly caught up with Lu Dongfu and entered Lu Bei's room.

And it's been half an hour at least since they came to Lu's house, during which Mrs. Zhang and Lu Chengcai never showed up.

Until now, she heard Zhang's mournful cry, which was mixed with cursing, which sounded indistinct. She thought about it and said, "My lady, let's go out and have a look?"

Lu Dongfu was out of breath from crying, sobbed and nodded.

Qi Zhongyu walked out of the room with her still powerless in his arms, and saw a group of people arguing in the yard.

The most conspicuous one is Lu Xi, his face is so gloomy that dripping water, the veins on his forehead are bulging, and his fists are clenched tightly, it seems that he is going to hit someone in the next moment, all thanks to his wife Feng Shi Then, he didn't wave his fist at Mrs. Zhang furiously.

Mrs. Zhang knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, shaking her head constantly, saying: "It's not me, I didn't... My husband was fine before... I blame the county magistrate, I blame that corrupt official, if it wasn't for him insisting that everyone repair dams in winter, Xianggong will not die either!"

Hearing this, Lu Xi became even more furious, and shouted: "You still have the face to propose military service, so let me ask you, why didn't my family serve? Some other families in the village did not serve, but they have a lot of money My brother went to serve instead?"

"

I heard with my own ears that my younger brother gave you a sum of money and asked you to go to the county to pay the offset quota. What happened? !When the matter came to an end, my younger brother's name was actually on the list brought by the yamen!Where did you spend your money? !You bitch, you took my brother's money, and even killed my brother. As a brother, I will avenge my brother's death today! "

As he spoke, he angrily pushed away his wife Feng who was blocking him, rushed forward in two or three steps, without any scruples, and slammed his fist hard on Zhang's body.

Mrs. Zhang was punched a few times before, and now she was punched again, screaming loudly in pain.

She hid back while screaming, looking extremely embarrassed, Qi Zhongyu frowned for a while, saw that Lu Xi was about to beat him to death, and then stepped forward and said: "Uncle, wait a minute!"

Lu Xi was in a fit of rage, so naturally she couldn't hear her voice. It wasn't until the fist he swung was lightly grabbed by someone, and he couldn't move at all, that he came back to his senses and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Qi Zhongyu said lightly: "If you beat mother to death now, father will never come back."

Hearing this, Lu Xi's nose turned sore, and the elders finally shed tears, covering their faces and crying bitterly.

Although he had some disdain for his lazy younger brother, after the death of his parents and two older brothers, he and his younger brother were the only ones who depended on each other for life.

Although the younger brother is lazy, he has a good life, and there are always opportunities to make a fortune several times a year.

More than ten years ago, if the younger brother hadn't sold Erya for ten taels of silver and generously given him five taels, his whole family would have starved to death long ago.

For so many years, whenever Lu Bei has something good, he will think of him, and Lu Xi will take advantage of him for nothing. As long as the family makes good wine and food, he will ask Lu Bei to come over for a meal.

The two brothers have been together for decades, and their relationship is very deep.

He hated Mrs. Zhang to death, and he also hated himself in his heart. If only he secretly gave the yamen servant 100 taels of silver when he came to take people to serve in the yamen, his younger brother would not be destroyed during the service, let alone fall seriously ill.

If he disregarded Zhang's obstruction and took his seriously ill younger brother to his home to take care of him, it would be fine, and his younger brother would not die of illness in bed...

Brother!

He couldn't bear it anymore, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Seeing this scene, Qi Zhongyu felt very complicated.

She sighed, and helped Mrs. Zhang up from the ground. Mrs. Zhang is in a very bad state now, murmuring something vaguely, with snot and tears mixed on her face, she looks as if she has aged ten years.

She helped him to the main room to sit down, and Mrs. Zhang was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe.

Qi Zhongyu wanted to get her a handkerchief to wipe her face, but as soon as he walked out of the main room, he saw Lu Dongfu walking over with a basin of warm water.

Lu Dongfu finally stopped crying, but her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Qi Zhongyu reached out to help her get some water. Lu Dongfu shook her head, her voice was very hoarse, and she whispered, "Let me do it."

She put the water basin on the table, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Mrs. Zhang, who wiped her face indiscriminately, blew her nose and handed it to her again.

Lu Dongfu didn't think it was dirty, so she washed the handkerchief and handed it to her.

Mrs. Zhang kept crying, Lu Dongfu was by her side, Qi Zhongyu couldn't think of what to do, so she stood by the door.

Until Luo Zhenhai came over, Qi Zhongyu glanced at the two people in the room who were weeping silently, and walked not far away with Luo Zhenhai.

Both of them sighed, Luo Zhenhai said: "My wife fainted, I don't know when she will wake up, I will trouble the second sister to take care of her."

Qi Zhongyu said: "It doesn't matter."

The two were silent for a long time, Luo Zhenhai cursed, and then said: "I didn't expect my father to pass away suddenly."

Qi Zhongyu nodded, yes, it was too sudden, but Lu Bei was indeed seriously ill before, and the doctor also said to take care of him carefully, otherwise...

The two sighed together, and after a while, Luo Zhenhai asked, "Where did that kid Lu Chengcai go?"

Something big happened at home

, as the only male in Lu Bei's family, he has disappeared so far, which is too unreasonable.

Qi Zhongyu was startled when he heard the words, and said to himself: That's right, where did Lu Chengcai go?She had been at Lu's house for at least an hour, and she had never seen him. She thought it was strange before, but she was busy comforting Lu Dongfu, so she didn't think about it.

She didn't realize something was wrong until Luo Zhenhai mentioned it.

The two looked at each other, searched around the yard, and even searched every room, but they couldn't find anyone else.

Luo Zhenhai said angrily: "What time is it? He's not too young, so he can't be more reliable?"

Qi Zhongyu pondered for a moment, then said: "Go and ask Xia Niang, ask where he went, we will send someone to find him back."

Luo Zhenhai nodded, and the two returned to the main room. Mrs. Zhang was still crying, and Lu Dongfu was also crying.

Qi Zhongyu paused, thinking about cooking two eggs for Lu Dongfu to reduce the swelling in her eyes, she stepped forward and asked, "Mother, where did brother go?"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't hear clearly, and the outside voices were hazy after crying for too long, so Luo Zhenhai repeated the question.

Mrs. Zhang froze for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Dead!"

These words... do not sound true, but rather angry words.

But Lu Dongfu believed it, and said in shock: "How could it be, how did he die?"

Qi Zhongyu had no choice but to pull her hand, causing Lu Dongfu to turn her head to look at her. She mouthed and said, "Don't worry."

Lu Dongfu was stunned for a moment, and heard Luo Zhenhai say: "Mother, don't be angry, we all feel bad when father passed away, but the matter has come to this point, we must bury father and let him rest in peace. I need my brother to come forward."

Mrs. Zhang couldn't hear this, and shouted: "If you don't bury it, why do you want to bury it?!"

But she also understands that the dead cannot be brought back to life. According to the rules of the village, if one dies before or after the Chinese New Year, one must be buried as soon as possible, the vigil should be stopped, and the funeral should be buried. Otherwise, it will affect the luck of the family and the village for the next year.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but want to cry again. She covered her face and cried for a long time before saying hoarsely: "Forget about your brother, Erya will go to the kitchen to boil hot water, wipe your father's body, and put on new clothes. The news of your father's death was passed on to relatives and neighbors, the funeral will not be held today and tomorrow, and your father will be buried in the Lu family's cemetery the day after tomorrow."

After she said that, Qi Zhongyu and Luo Zhenhai couldn't ask about Lu Chengcai's whereabouts anymore.

A lot of preparations had to be made in advance for the funeral. Lu Bei passed away suddenly and had to be buried as soon as possible, so he went to the county town to buy the funeral coffin.

Luo Zhenhai took the initiative to say: "Then I'll go shopping in the county, and I'll trouble my second sister and second brother-in-law to take care of the house."

Qi Zhongyu understood what he meant, and knew that Lu Sanya was the one he worried about the most, so he responded, "Don't worry."

Luo Zhenhai said thank you, then turned around and strode out.

But Lu Dongfu glanced at Mrs. Zhang, took the basin to the kitchen to change a basin of water, put it on the table, and then returned to the kitchen to boil water.

Qi Zhongyu said: "Let me help you."

Lu Dongfu responded hoarsely, Qi Zhongyu had never spoken to her, and Lu Dongfu also looked sleepy and didn't want to speak.

After the water was boiled, she took the warm water and went to the bedroom where Lu Bei was lying, only to find that Lu Sanya had already woken up and was lying on the side of the bed, holding Lu Bei's hand and crying bitterly.

The lives of the three daughters of the Lu family were not very good. Lu Daya was sent to the Peng family to be a child bride-in-law since she was a child; Lu Erya was sold to Ren Yazi. Been there for ten years.

Although life is not easy, she has the most docile temperament and the deepest affection for Zhang and Lu Bei.

Lu Dongfu stepped forward, put the basin on the stool in front of the bed, patted Third Sister on the shoulder, and said, "Sanmei, don't cry."

Lu Sanya's face flushed red from crying, she was almost out of breath, and said choked up: "Second sister, second sister, father, he..."

Lu Dongfu hugged her and said sadly, "Second sister knows."

Qi Zhongyu watched their sisters cry

, thinking that the three of them shouldn't be doing the job of wiping Lu Bei's body, so he said to Lu Dongfu, "Lady, find a new set of clothes for daddy in the closet, and I'll go to the main room and call my mom over." , send father off for the last time."

Lu Dongfu nodded and watched her leave.

Lu Sanya was so weak from crying that she got up from the cold ground with Lu Dongfu's support.

She is weak and young, and it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the coldest season, and there is no fire in the house, and the cold is overwhelming. She doesn't want her third sister to get sick, so she asks her to go to the kitchen to continue boiling water.

Lu Sanya didn't dare to look at Lu Bei's body again, sobbed in response, and went to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water.

And Mrs. Zhang was also supported by Qi Zhongyu and walked in. She looked at the corpse of her husband on the bed, and for the first time felt deep-seated hatred for her son.

She said wearily: "Okay, leave this to me, you go out."

Lu Dongfu said: "Mother, let me bring in the charcoal fire. It's cold inside, be careful not to freeze."

Mrs. Zhang nodded dully, and let her go.

She walked to the bed with heavy steps, and looked at her husband's cold corpse, his bruised face, which should have been a terrifying scene, but she was not afraid at all, but the guilt and pain in her heart almost overwhelmed her.

She was trembling violently. Although she knew that the husband was dead before, she didn't dare to look more, didn't dare to look closely.

It was only now that she twisted the handkerchief and wiped her husband's face.

Tears fell again, she murmured: "It's my fault, I shouldn't go to the next room to rest, I should have taken care of you... I shouldn't have handed you over to my son, he's always been lazy and didn't know how to take care of you." people……"

Sobbing, she took off the clothes on Lu Bei's body, and continued: "He said that he accidentally fell asleep, and when he woke up, the charcoal fire in the room was extinguished, and the room was so cold that he caught a cold. Say something is wrong with you, let me go over and have a look..."

Her voice seemed to be laughing, but tears were streaming down her cheeks, and she said, "I didn't even have time to put on my shoes, so I hurried over to take care of you, but I didn't expect..."

Qi Zhongyu: ...

She just came to deliver the charcoal basin, because Lu Dongfu and Lu Sanya were huddling together in the kitchen to keep warm, and she didn't expect to hear the truth about Lu Bei's death.

She thought it was strange before, because Lu Bei's death was so sudden, she didn't expect that there was another secret, and this secret was ridiculous to say the least.

Lu Bei and Zhang, who have always held their sons in their palms and loved them, but regarded their daughters as grassroots slaves, finally reaped the consequences.

Lu Bei died at the hands of his lazy son. He was already seriously ill at the time, and the charcoal fire in the house was also extinguished. His fragile body could not withstand the cold of winter. It is normal that he could not survive.

And the guilt in Zhang's heart will surely torture her for the rest of her life.

Things are really unpredictable.

She waited quietly for a while, listening to Mrs. Zhang talking to Lu Bei about the private conversation between husband and wife, but what's the use of talking about it now.

Mrs. Zhang also said that she regretted it so much that she wished she could die. If she had known that she should not have coveted the 50 taels of silver, if she had known that she should not have slept in and let Lu Chengcai take care of Lu Bei. If she had known...

There are so many people who knew it earlier, but didn't do it, which led to the current consequence.

Qi Zhongyu began to feel sorry for Lu Bei. She was not cold even holding the charcoal basin, so she squatted down outside the door until Mrs. Zhang in the house finished wiping Lu Bei's body and changed her clothes. Then she brought the charcoal basin in, saying : "Mom, sorry."

Mrs. Zhang didn't speak, and after a while, she said wearily: "Go out, I want to be alone with your father."

Qi Zhongyu responded, and closed the door smoothly when he left.

She stood under the eaves for a while, thinking: where did Lu Chengcai go?He should know that he killed his own father, so he ran away cowardly, but he was spoiled and spoiled, and he had never been to too many places, so he should be hiding near the village.

She had to find a way to get Lu Chengcai back, otherwise the funeral would not be able to go on, and it would arouse suspicion from the villagers.

She wasn't afraid that Lu Chengcai's reputation would be ruined,

I just don't want to make Lu Dongfu sad.

I don't want to cast more shadows on the reputation of the Lu family. No matter how you say it, this matter is disgraceful.

Especially the other world where filial piety is greater than the sky, if it spreads out, not only will Lu Chengcai be ruined, but the Lu family's reputation will also be ruined.

She went to the kitchen and talked to Lu Dongfu, saying that she would tell the people in the village the news of her father's death. Lu Dongfu lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you, sir."

Qi Zhongyu said it's okay, and left the Lu family's yard, passing news in the village while looking for Lu Chengcai's whereabouts.

After searching the entire village, he found Lu Chengcai in a remote corner. He was in a bad state at the moment, trembling all over, his lips were chapped, and he was completely different from the boy who looked at people with his nostrils in the past. people.

Qi Zhongyu didn't think he was pitiful at all, and walked up to him and said coldly: "Father's body must be buried as soon as possible, and you, as your only son, must be present the whole time."

Lu Chengcai was startled, shook his head and said, "I won't go back, father is not dead, father is not me...not me..."

Qi Zhongyu knew what he didn't say, and she hated this selfish boy even more, she held his collar and said, "I don't care what you think, anyway, you have to go back, otherwise the whole village will see the Lu family's jokes! "

Lu Chengcai punched and kicked, trying to escape from her hands. Qi Zhongyu was already annoying him, so he beat him up mercilessly.

Of course, he didn't punch his face, and he wouldn't leave any scars on his body, but it would make him feel unbearable pain, and even lie on the bed for a while afterwards.

Let him also experience for himself, the feeling of his father dying in agony but powerless.

She used light skills to avoid the villagers in the village, carried Lu Chengcai back to Lu's house, threw him in the yard casually, and went to the kitchen to see Lu Dongfu and the others.

Seeing the two little girls squatting beside the fire, although their eyes were flushed, but they never cried again, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I'll go to Linxi Village and tell my eldest sister the news of my father's death."

Lu Dongfu stood up and said, "I will go with my husband."

Qi Zhongyu said: "No need, you stay at home, sleep for a while if you are tired, and watch the night."

Lu Dongfu nodded, and said, "Be careful on Xiangxiang Road."

Qi Zhongyu couldn't help touching the corners of her blushing eyes, and said, "Stop crying, it won't hurt your eyes if you cry."

Lu Dongfu's heart felt hot, and tears were about to fall again. She held back her lips, and said, "Well, I won't cry."

Only then did Qi Zhongyu turn around and leave the kitchen. Lu Chengcai, whom she had thrown in the yard just now, had disappeared. He probably went back to his room to lie down. Qi Zhongyu became more and more disgusted with this boy. It should be said that he is indeed the son of the Zhang family. better than blue?

She shook her head and walked quickly towards Linxi Village.

Lu Daya's reaction when she heard about this matter was similar to that of Lu Dongfu. Fortunately, Peng An stopped doing anything to her during this time, and the Peng family also treated her much better, so her body became stronger, so she didn't fight with Lu San. Ya fainted on the spot.

Peng An frowned, and said, "Third Uncle personally went to check Dad's pulse before. It is said that although he is seriously ill, he will be fine if he takes good care of him. Why did he suddenly..."

Qi Zhongyu didn't speak, Peng An thought for a while, and said: "In this case, lady, you and your second brother-in-law go back to your mother's house, and come back after father's funeral is over."

Peng An was treated by Qi Zhongyu for a few months, and his health has actually improved a lot, but he didn't want to make this trip himself in the winter.

Moreover, it is conceivable that going to a funeral will be very hard. He cares about his own life very much, and will never take risks for others.

What's more, Lu Bei is dispensable in his heart.

Lu Daya was overjoyed when she heard the words, she cried and thanked her repeatedly, and was told by Peng An to go home after the funeral, and she nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, after Peng Fu heard about this, he asked Qi Zhongyu to bring back some money and medicinal materials, as a contribution to the funeral.

Qi Zhongyu thought about not taking

He didn't take it for nothing, so he thanked him for his kindness, took a big bag of things, and took Lu Daya back to Lu's house.

Because they were concerned about Daya Lu's pace, they walked very slowly, and it was already evening when they arrived at Lu's house.

The courtyard was still bleak, but Luo Zhenhai had already returned from the county seat, Lu Dongfu and the others also put on the white filial piety clothes he bought, and were kneeling next to the coffin in the main room, and incense was lit in the room.

Seeing this, Lu Daya burst into tears immediately, and soon wet her cheeks.

Qi Zhongyu said in his heart: As expected of sisters, the three girls are all made of sea water, they can cry as they say, and they cry so hard.

Lu Daya ran to the main room and saw Lu Bei lying in the coffin with her own eyes, finally believed what Qi Zhongyu said, and cried even louder.

Lu Dongfu and Lu Sanya hurriedly supported her, and the three sisters cried together.

Mrs. Zhang was kneeling on one side, and Lu Chengcai was actually kneeling next to Mrs. Zhang. He looked very honest, but his cheeks were swollen and looked like he had been slapped. The person who slapped him didn't think otherwise, he must have It's Zhang.

Qi Zhongyu sighed inwardly, stepped forward, took the white filial piety robe that Luo Zhenhai handed over, put it on his body, and knelt on the futon next to Luo Zhenhai.

As relatives, they have to keep vigil tonight, and tomorrow there will be relatives and neighbors coming to see Lu Bei off for the last time.

That is to say, Qi Zhongyu was not afraid of sleepiness if he had to stay up all night, but he was only worried about the health of the three sisters of the Lu family.

Fortunately, after staying up for half the night, perhaps because of Lu Bei's death, Mrs. Zhang suddenly developed a conscience, and said to everyone: "Successful people stay here, and the others go back to the house to sleep."

The three sisters Lu Dongfu couldn't believe their ears, until Mrs. Zhang repeated it expressionlessly, and Lu Chengcai, who had always been pampered, never jumped up to object, then they hesitated and said: "No need, we are here to guard father."

Mrs. Zhang said coldly: "Go back and rest! Didn't you hear me?"

Her prestige is still there, Lu Dongfu responded, and the group left the main room, Luo Zhenhai wondered: "Mother, what's wrong?"

Qi Zhongyu didn't want to tell the truth about Lu Bei's death, and said to everyone: "You three sisters go back to the house to rest, and Luo Zhenhai and I go to another room to have a party for a while."

Lu Dongfu glanced at her, seeing Qi Zhongyu signal her to rest assured, she went to the bedroom with Lu Daya and Lu Sanya.

And Qi Zhongyu went to the kitchen with Luo Zhenhai, because the Lu family didn't have so many rooms, the bedroom where Lu Bei died was the room of his parents, so he definitely couldn't live in it, and she didn't want to go to Lu Chengcai's room, and she was afraid It's cold, so just go to the kitchen and start a fire.

Luo Zhenhai drank the hot tea, sighed, and said, "It will be boiled for the next two days."

Qi Zhongyu nodded, and added more firewood to the stove. The temperature in the kitchen was warm. She and Luo Zhenhai had been running around for the whole afternoon, and they were a little tired at the moment, so they leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

It wasn't until the next morning that Lu Xi brought his family over. Although he hated Mrs. Zhang and felt that she had killed his brother, he didn't want to cause trouble during his brother's funeral, and he didn't want people in the village to see Lu Xi. Family jokes, at least let the younger brother be buried safely.

With him coming forward and pulling Lu Chengcai to entertain the guests, Qi Zhongyu and the others felt a lot easier.

On this day, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, all saying condolences.

Even Qi Changle brought Yao Shi over and chatted with Qi Zhongyu for a while, with a sad look on his face.

Only then did Qi Zhongyu learn that it was not only Lu Bei who died, but during the time she was on the mountain, another commoner in the village who went to serve in the army died, and adding Lu Bei and the two people who died unexpectedly before, the number was four.

In other villages, more people died.

Now the villages are full of wailing, clamoring for the county magistrate to give everyone justice, but the county magistrate avoids seeing them, and some officials hold knives to stop them, and they personally arrest a few people who complained in front of the yamen.

Everyone hated it terribly, and knew that there was nothing the county magistrate could do, so they could only hold back their hatred, and left sadly, preparing for the funeral.

This year is completely unbearable, Qi Changle finally said: "Tomorrow's Lantern Festival, just come over for dinner."

Qi Zhongyu agreed, and watched his second uncle and aunt leave.

On the third day, Lu Xi took the men in the family and dug a hole in front of the Lu family's cemetery, buried Lu Bei's coffin in it, burned paper money here, and offered incense, and the funeral was considered complete .

So, it was time for Lu Xi to settle the accounts. He wanted to replace his younger brother and let Lu Bei reconcile with the Zhang family. No, to be more precise, he wanted to divorce his wife instead of his younger brother!Resolutely don't want this poisonous woman to stay in Lu's house for another day!

Lu Xi also invited the village head and respected elders in the village. On the surface, it seems that the Zhang family did something unethical.

But seeing that Mrs. Zhang had shed tears these days and gave birth to four children for the Lu family, the elders still came forward to make peace and did not agree to divorce his wife.

In addition to the four children, none of them stood on Lu Xi's side, so the trouble of divorcing his wife in place of his younger brother finally came to nothing.

Lu Xi flicked his sleeves and left angrily, uttering harsh words, and from now on, he will no longer be a relative with Mrs. Zhang and others.

Lu Chengcai pursed his lips sullenly, muttered a few words in a low voice, and was slapped unceremoniously by Mrs. Zhang, which caused everyone present to be amazed.

After the funeral is over, everyone doesn't need to gather at Lu's house anymore. Lu Daya will go back to Peng's house, and Luo Zhenhai will take Lu Sanya home to rest. Qi Zhongyu looked at Lu Dongfu's pale face, said goodbye to everyone, and took Lu Dongfu went back to Qi's house with his second uncle.

Because today is the Lantern Festival, if we have a reunion dinner here, this year will be over.

It's just that no one expected that something like this would happen halfway, everyone in the Qi family felt sorry for Lu Dongfu, Yao said: "Zhong Yu, take your wife back to the house to rest, and leave after dinner in the evening. "

Qi Zhongyu nodded, and pulled Lu Dongfu back to his room.

Lu Dongfu sat on the bed blankly, Qi Zhongyu felt that her hands were colder than usual, so he hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil hot water, and said hesitantly: "Lady, my condolences are changing, don't be too sad."

Lu Dongfu shook her head, and finally spoke. Her voice was very hoarse, and she said, "Actually, I'm not sad, but... I'm a little confused. Maybe I'm exhausted these days."

Qi Zhongyu held her hand, gave her a breath, and said: "It's fine if you don't feel sad. If you are sad, you will hurt your body. I have already boiled hot water in the kitchen. You can take a bath and sleep for a while. After dinner at night, we will have dinner in the evening." Go home and have a good rest."

Lu Dongfu replied wearily, Qi Zhongyu saw her sluggish movements, and couldn't be at ease, so he personally poured slightly warmer bath water for her. If Lu Dongfu hadn't reacted and shyly pushed her out the door, she still wanted to Help Lu Dongfu take a bath.

Qi Zhongyu leaned against the door, looked at the dark sky, and murmured: "It's snowing."

Yuehe Village is located in the southern boundary, and it has never snowed before. Unexpectedly, on the day of the Lantern Festival, it would be a light snowfall for the occasion.

The snow has been falling, but it is not heavy, and when it falls on the hands, it turns into cold water in a short time.

Qi Zhongyu listened carefully to the movement in the house until the sound of bathing water stopped. After a while, Lu Dongfu opened the door and said in surprise, "It's snowing."

Qi Zhongyu saw that her long hair was loose and her body was still emitting bursts of heat, so he quickly pulled her into the room, steamed her hair dry with internal force, and put a thick quilt on her.

Only then did she answer what she said just now, and said: "Yes, it's snowing. If I have time later, I will take you to the north to see the heavy snow."

Lu Dongfu was very curious. She had seen snow in Haozhou City before, but just like now, the snow was very small.

She wanted to know what kind of scenery the goose feather heavy snow was like, so Qi Zhongyu gave her a detailed description.

When she was talking, she stared intently at Lu Dongfu's eyes, and seeing the little smiles in her eyes, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart: It's good to smile, I hope Lu Dongfu can recover from the pain of losing his father as soon as possible. out.

However, she was too happy too early. After having the Lantern Festival reunion dinner with her second uncle at Qi's house, she took Lu Dongfu back to the small courtyard in the mountain.Regardless of tidying up the room that hadn't been taken care of for a few days, Qi Zhongyu took the exhausted Lu Dongfu back to the house and sat down. After boiling hot water and taking a bath, he pressed Lu Dongfu on the bed, letting her have a good rest and make up for the funeral Lack of sleep during.

Lu Dongfu was indeed a little sleepy, yawned, and fell asleep obediently in her arms.

Unexpectedly, after sleeping until midnight, Lu Dongfu developed a high fever, her whole body was also very hot, and she muttered something vaguely.

Qi Zhongyu was half asleep and half awake, thinking that Lu Dongfu was talking in his sleep, until he touched her hot cheek, he woke up in shock, got up from the bed quickly, and lit the candles in the room.

By candlelight, she touched Lu Dongfu's hot forehead. Perhaps the cold temperature relieved the high fever. Lu Dongfu stopped murmuring and opened her eyes to look at her blankly. Her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and she blinked. It will fall in one fell swoop.

Like a child, she made a soft and waxy voice and said, "Sir?"

Qi Zhongyu said with a serious face, "You have a fever. Later, I will go to the kitchen to boil water and decoct medicine for you."

But Lu Dongfu was reluctant for her to leave, and took her hand and said, "Just sleep and you'll be fine. Don't leave, sir, don't leave me alone."

After speaking, her voice was already stained with tears.

Qi Zhongyu had no choice but to coax her first, thinking that there was still charcoal fire in the house, so he added charcoal and cooked medicine in the house.

She should be thankful that since teaching Lu Dongfu to practice, the family has never run out of medicinal materials, and she has prepared other types, otherwise she would have to put on her clothes now, and sneak over the wall into the drugstore in the county town to buy them.

She has some medical skills, and after decocting the soup, she will feed it to Lu Dongfu after it cools down.

Lu Dongfu took a sip, then spat it out with a whoosh, but fortunately she didn't spit it out on the bed or on her body.

She looked at Qi Zhongyu pitifully, and said, "Bitter."

Qi Zhongyu: ...

Well, the patient is relatively fragile. If it were the usual Lu Dongfu, she would have frowned slightly, and drank the soup and medicine.

She gently persuaded: "It's not bitter, you'll be fine after eating."

Lu Dongfu didn't listen to persuasion like a child, and shook her head vigorously. Instead, she made herself dizzy, closed her eyes tiredly, and turned her back to her with difficulty.

Qi Zhongyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Lu Dongfu had to be given medicine so that she could recover quickly.

She glanced at the decoction in the bowl, licked her lips, took a sip with determination, easily turned Lu Dongfu over to face her, pinched her chin, and fed her the medicine mouth to mouth.
