Doomsday Farmhouse Tour

Chapter 52 Sudden Arrival

On the willow branches on the moon, there is a faint fragrance in the courtyard.There was a flickering candlelight through a wooden screen window, and low voices could be heard faintly, inaudible.

"Are you sure you heard what Qin Wanru said?" Liu Shuhe gently patted his son's back with one hand, and shifted his gaze to Changning.Chang Ning followed his gaze back to the past and nodded seriously.

"Before Qingyao was born, I didn't come out and walk around a lot. I didn't want to see her when she came to make my brother unhappy. If I didn't send you something today, I wouldn't have heard of it. I probably didn't know her. I didn't shy away from saying it at all." Chang Ning didn't believe in the theory of marriage contract, after all Lu's father didn't even admit it.

"Don't tell Chang'an about this beforehand. He's pregnant, but don't be alarmed. I'll tell Lu Xiao, don't worry too much." Liu Shuhe put the sleeping child in the innermost place, and kissed him lightly.Chang Ning also packed up the things he was working on and lay down, Liu Shuhe hugged him in his arms, with a little excitement in his eyes.

He and Lu Xiao have been preparing to move out of the county, but they don't know how to persuade the elders in the family.If this matter is handled properly... maybe those people will help him achieve what he wants.

Under Liu Shuhe's acquiescence, the matter snowballed like a snowball, and he didn't tell Lu Xiao until he felt that he could no longer hide it.Liu Shuhe knew in his heart that if he kept the secret for too long, he would be discovered, so he told Lu Xiao after only a few days.

Lu Xiao was shocked but not angry when he heard the words, and he was just helpless in his heart.Recently, he was still busy preparing to suppress the bandits, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen again just because he didn't pay attention for a while.

"Since we've reached this point, let them go. Let's see if what we've worked so hard to protect in the past two years is a human or a ghost..." Lu Xiao put aside the ginger jujube tea he had just drunk, and temporarily put aside the matter of suppressing the bandits. . "No matter what the result is, the things in Houshan can be moved temporarily. Other things that are not currently in use can also be put away in advance..."

...

With the preparations, several people began to wait for the day when the incident broke out.It's just that before the incident broke out, Lujia Village became chaotic.Lu Yuan died, and Lu Yuan, who had done all kinds of wrong things and was guarded by the village chief, died.

Lu Yuan has been quiet for a long time since he was frightened that time, but he gradually forgot about it after a while.Aggressive and impulsive by nature, he definitely doesn't like being watched by the village chief every day.However, the village head is strict in supervision, and everyone can watch carefully because there are not many things in their hands in winter.

However, even so, Lu Yuan couldn't be stopped in the end.Lu Yuan took a lot of rice, grain, meat and a few jars of wine from his family to the people he usually met with. Naturally, he was a little bit happy to have wine, meat and friends.

Lu Yuan has a good capacity for alcohol on weekdays, and no one cared after drinking a jar at first.Seeing that he drank more and more, Widow Chen who was drinking with him carried him to the bed.

The two of them rolled together dry firewood, and naturally they didn't care about adding charcoal fire to the charcoal basin afterwards.However, it suddenly snowed that night, and the temperature was much colder than usual.

Before Lu Xiao got up after finishing his meal, he heard the report from the bodyguard team that five or six people would freeze to death overnight.Lu Yuan and the widow who was close to each other, it was really ugly to die like this.The person in charge of statistics didn't dare to make a claim and came back to report. Hearing this, Lu Xiao could only sigh that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.If Lu Yuan had learned his lesson and knew his fault, this matter would not have happened.But thinking of Lu Qing who was training hard here, Lu Xiao couldn't help but soften his heart.

Although it was mandatory for Lu Qing to come to the dart team at that time, he still trained very seriously and worked hard after joining the dart team.In all fairness, Lu Qing is indeed a very good boy.

For Lu Qing's sake, he was willing to save some face for Lu Yuan.But before that, he still had to go to the village chief's house to clarify the matter.

When Lu Xiao arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief was about to put on his shoes to check the situation before he realized it.Seeing that Lu Xiao brought people over, he couldn't help but change his expression. Although the relationship between the two families has eased because of Lu Qing's presence, there is still little contact.Usually contact is business affairs, but now that Lu Xiao came directly, the heart of the village head's family skipped a beat.Lu Xiao is here, it must be a big deal.

Although the village chief was beating his heart, he still welcomed him into the house. The village chief's wife was making noodles, so she looked at Lu Xiao and asked him if he wanted to eat together.Lu Xiao shook his head, he felt that these people might not want to eat after he finished talking.

"Where's Lu Yuan?" Lu Xiao thought for a while and asked as tactfully as possible. After a moment of surprise, the village chief called his daughter-in-law to check in the room.As a result, there was no one there, and the daughter-in-law shook her head in embarrassment and couldn't help but feel guilty.It's because they didn't take people seriously that something went wrong. I also promised to take good care of Lu Yuan that day...

"He... What trouble did he cause?" When the village chief said this, his old face flushed slightly, making such a family scandal in front of the younger generation... This is something that the elders who are good-faced can't let go of.

"Please... my condolences." Lu Xiao sighed, and it took him a long time to say this.The village head couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at Lu Xiao in disbelief.My son has always been healthy, how could...how could he die suddenly.

"Early this morning, the bodyguard team received news...Because of the sudden drop in temperature at night, many people in the village froze to death and frostbite. Brothers from the bodyguard team can only go door-to-door to ask people to confirm the situation..." Lu Xiao rubbed his fingers, deliberating Words that do not irritate the elderly.However, no matter how much he pays attention to this kind of thing, he can't change the pain of losing his son. Even though the village chief is completely disappointed with Lu Yuan's son, he is still his son after all.

"The bodyguard team has been calling to Widow Chen's house. The two of them probably didn't pay attention to the carbon fire yesterday..." Lu Xiao tried his best to explain it to the old village chief in a non-irritating way, but it was of no use. "The people in the escort team found that they were unable to recover, and their bodies were stiff."

Murakami didn't reply for a long time. In his eyes, Lu Yuan undoubtedly let him down.The child who placed his great expectations and hopes in the end still went astray, and now he has hurt himself even more.

"It's definitely not good looking to carry it out from there. I thought... come out from you and come from another place..." Lu Xiao originally wanted to save face for the village chief, but he didn't expect that the person who always valued meeting would refuse this time.Lu Xiao was so surprised that the village chief didn't agree to it, and he sighed inwardly when he realized the people's good intentions.

"You don't need to cover it up for him. He should be punished for doing something wrong... Just do what you want, and let Lu Qing remember this matter, and he will be as messed up as his father in the future." The village chief was not hit like Lu Xiao thought. He didn't protect his shortcomings like before, but admitted it. As for why, Lu Xiao could guess.

"Lu Qing is a good boy..." Lu Xiao didn't know how to comfort the village chief, so he could only say more about Lu Qing.Lu Qing is really hardworking and motivated, and he is honest and sincere.

"I'll let Lu Qing go with you to see my unfilial son..." Although the village chief made up his mind to teach Lu Qing a lesson, how could he not be sad if he was his own son after all.But after a while, he seemed to lose energy, and Lu Xiao hurriedly dealt with other matters and left after saying a few words.

...

Chang'an also watched Lu Xiao leave in a hurry, and asked other servants to find out that the temperature dropped in the village last night, and there were many deaths and frostbite.If it wasn't for the Lu family's pitfalls, he might have woken up with frostbite yesterday.

"It's so cold, it's not easy for everyone. Taking advantage of the noon these days, everyone is sitting on a quilt. Before going to bed at night, drink a bowl of ginger soup, so as not to be frozen before winter... "Chang'an has always been lenient to the servants at home, not to mention that it will be more troublesome if he really freezes to death and cannot find someone to replace him.

"My husband is dealing with the frostbite in the village. Find some good ones and follow me to the back mountain to see the replanted vegetable seedlings." Changan changed into clothes suitable for going out early on, and the maid next to him showed surprise and then panicked Prevent.The madam went to the back mountain with her stomach straight, and if there was an accident, they wouldn't have to live.

"Ma'am, don't worry, I think someone has already taken care of it." The servant girl whispered to persuade the person next to her with winks, and the person walked out quickly before nodding her head.He didn't dare to disturb Lu Xiao when he was busy, but he could go to Chang Ning to persuade him.After all, the younger brother, who is a direct relative, would listen to him if he wanted to say a few words, and he also believed that Chang Ning would know how to solve it.

Chang Ning had just finished feeding the child, and the child was spitting bubbles on the man's arm.For a child who is less than half a year old, Chang Ning is reluctant to leave even half a step away.

"Brother is going to the back mountain? What is he thinking? If he accidentally bumps into each other..." Chang Ning has always had a good relationship with his brother, but now that he heard it, he didn't care about the child who was reluctant to leave just now and went directly to Chang'an. .Liu Mo also understands that the blood relationship cannot be separated, so she has no other ideas. Her daughter-in-law has lost her eldest brother, so how can there be any accidents for her brother and brother.

...

Chang Ning had only been in front of Chang An for a few minutes, and Chang An was still entangled with the maid who persuaded him. Chang Ning felt helpless at this scene, and quickly stepped forward to support his brother.

"Brother, what are you doing here? Don't you usually love this girl the most?" Chang Ning glanced at the maid, who was also deeply relieved and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake.Chang'an also knew that the people around him were doing it for his own good and naturally he didn't want to punish him, so he didn't say anything.

"I heard that you were going to the back mountain when I was outside. What's so good about the back mountain that you insist on going?" Chang Ning asked Chang An, Chang An pursed his lips and said that he was worried.There is a lot of mountain land reclaimed in the back of the Lu family, and the vegetable seedlings are newly planted, so can he not be worried?

"Yesterday, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the vegetables in the back mountain were probably going to freeze. I didn't think about it, but just wanted to see..." Changan felt that he was in good health, and there was no problem with such a short mountain road.However, even if he thinks so and the situation is true, Chang Ning is still unwilling to take the risk.What's more, many people died of frostbite and frostbite yesterday, and some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as imagined, and I am afraid that it is not as simple as before.

Chang'an was not as smart as Changning since he was a child and Lu Xiao didn't want to worry Chang'an, so naturally he didn't tell him what happened before.Chang Ning was the first to notice the anomaly, so he naturally knew to stop him.

Chang Ning was still persuading Chang An, but a servant said that a villager had come.Chang An was slightly stunned, he had not interacted with the villagers much.With the layers of fortresses of the Lu family, ordinary villagers would no longer visit easily.Now that someone came suddenly, he was caught off guard, but he didn't immediately reject the visitor as a guest.

"The person who came was named Fang, and he said he had something important to say..." the servant said, Changan and Changning looked at each other and quickly asked the servant to call him.Brother Fang was one of the few close friends before their marriage, but later they became relatives and their status became higher... Brother Fang didn't come here often, and the two of them felt uncomfortable for a long time because of this.Now that he came suddenly, my heart was somewhat beating.
