Qin Shu stood on a slope not far from the village, watching the thick smoke billowing over the village, and slowly orange-yellow flames appeared.
After hearing a few short and shrill screams, the only sound left was the crackling sound caused by the fierce burning flames.
I heard the farmers in the village finally discovering that the firewood room had leaked water. They shouted and ran around, pouring buckets of water onto the blazing fire...
A warm finger suddenly reached out and wiped away the tears on Qin Shu's face.
Qin Shu came back to her senses and met Fu Ying's concerned eyes.
She quickly concealed her fragility and pain, and regained her usual coolness. She raised the corners of her lips quickly, then quickly straightened them, and said softly, "Let's go back."
Fu Rong, "Okay."
When they returned to the farm, Nanny Chun was still waiting in Qin Shu's room.
Her eyes were swollen and her face was very haggard. She was pacing around the door with a handkerchief in her hand.
Seeing Qin Shu, Nanny Chun rushed over quickly and hugged her in her arms.
Qin Shu smiled silently, patted Nanny Chun's back gently, and said soothingly, "Nanny, I'm fine. Fu, Chong'an went there just in time."
Nanny Chun was choking with sobs, "If anything happens to the young lady, even if I die, I will not be able to face you, Madam."
Qin Shu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Don't worry, Ma'am, it won't happen again."
Nanny Chun smelled the burnt smell in the air and her heart couldn't help but jump. She let go of Qin Shu, wiped her face vigorously twice, and said loudly: "Qingsang, where is the cypress branch? Where is the brazier? Let the young lady step over it to get rid of the bad luck."
After a busy period, Qin Shu washed up, changed her clothes, and walked out of the yard. She saw Fu Ying standing in the yard.
Fu Ying heard the noise and turned to look at her.
The candlelight from the room shone on his face. His strong facial lines were angular and his eyes were shining and bright like stars.
His facial features, viewed separately, seem ordinary and unremarkable.
When combined together, there is a rare, complementary harmony, even stunning.
This face was clearly unfamiliar, yet Qin Shu inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity as if she had known him for many years.
Fu Rong just looked at her silently without saying anything.
Qin Shu's heart moved, she walked up to him and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Fu Ying lowered his eyes, turned around and looked at the bud-raising pond he had built half a month ago, and hummed softly, "There are some things at home that need to be dealt with."
home...
Qin Shu sighed softly.
Whether it was Fu Ying's cynical tone, joking that he had eaten as much poison as candy since he was a child, or his brother saying that he had been repeatedly framed over the years and his tendons and veins were damaged;
Or maybe it was the last time at the Qin Mansion when Qin Shu met him seriously injured and dying, it was obvious that Fu Rong's life was not peaceful.
It's easy to imagine that for a noble family like the Fu family, which possesses the world's top mechanical technology and is coveted by the world, there must be fierce competition for the position of head of the family.
It is not surprising that children of the same clan would frame and kill each other.
Human nature has no bottom line.
The baseness of human nature will only be revealed in the face of huge interests.
When you use interests to test people's hearts, the naive person will always be the loser.
Like Fu Rong, like Qin Shu in the previous life.
The two people's life trajectories are different, but their fates are surprisingly similar.
Qin Shu suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart and asked, "When are we leaving?"
Fu Rong raised his eyes and looked at the night sky outside the manor. Qin Shu knew that those people were waiting outside the manor, and it turned out that they wanted to take Fu Rong home.
She smiled faintly and said, "Wait a minute, I have something for you."
Fu Ying's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned around to watch her return to the room.
Qin Shu folded the clothes she had made for him and put them in her bag. She wanted to pack something else, but suddenly realized that she didn't have much to prepare for Fu Ying.
She didn't know what Fu'er needed.
I never thought Fu Rong would leave so soon.
Qin Shu thought about it, turned her back to others, poured half a glass of wine, added half a cup of spring water, and then filled another glass with wine.
She asked Qingzhu to hold the clothes and Qingsang to hold the wine, and the three of them went out together.
Qin Shu handed the cup of wine mixed with spring water to Fu Yu, picked up another cup herself, and said with a smile: "Time is tight, and there is no time to prepare a farewell banquet. I will offer you a glass of light wine to express my gratitude and farewell. I wish you a safe journey!"
Fu Ying thanked her, raised the wine glass, gestured to Qin Shu, and drank it all in one gulp.
Qin Shu took the clothes that Qing Zhu handed over and presented them to Fu Ying. "I just finished it today. I wanted to let you try it tomorrow to see if it fits. But now..."
She chuckled and said, "During your stay at the Qin Mansion, Qin Shu has not been very hospitable. I hope we can make it up to you next time."
Fu Ying took the clothes and was about to say something, but his expression suddenly changed and he said hurriedly, "I'll remember it. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out quickly.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Fu Ying left, in the quiet night sky, there seemed to be a night bird flying over the village, or the sound of clothes being blown by the wind.
After a moment, calm returned.
Qingsang stood in front of the couch and whispered through the curtain, "Miss, someone just checked this place. Judging from the noise, there should be more than ten people."
After a while, Qin Shu finally said "hmm" softly.
These people should be here to look for Fu Ying.
And he is definitely his enemy.
That's why Fu Ying left in such a hurry.
I hope he is safe.
There has been no news from Fu Ying since he left.
However, the fire in the village to the west had killed two people. Gushan Village was located in Changyuan County, so the magistrate of Changyuan County sent the registrar and the coroner to investigate the scene.
It was finally confirmed that the fire was ignited due to improper use of fire.
Because the weather was dry and the firewood was piled too high, the fire started too quickly. The two people living inside were sleeping too deeply and did not wake up in time, so they lost the chance to escape.
A child was burned to death in the corner, and another woman was burned to death at the door.
No one came to identify the body, and the farmers on the farm didn't recognize it.
The registrar had no choice but to ask someone to find two tattered mats and a piece of land to hastily bury the two men.
Life in Zhuangzi is leisurely and relaxed. The days pass by quickly like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye it is mid-February.
The sweet potato seedlings in the germination pond have grown to one foot tall, crowded together, lush and green, and very pleasing to the eye.
Qin Shu asked someone to pick the seedlings, wrapped them in a wet towel, took a ox cart to Gushan, found a piece of mountain land, and planted the sweet potato seedlings according to the planting instructions copied from the encyclopedia.
He also marked out a piece of fertile land in front of his farm and planted two acres of potato seedlings.
After planting the potato seedlings, it was time for the 100th day memorial service for Qin Jingyuan and Zuo Shi.
Qin Shu left Nanny Chun at the farm and took Qingsang, Qingzhu and others back to the city.
After the 100-day memorial, the opening of Qin Shu's rouge shop was put on the agenda.
