depend on for life

After Mo Jinsheng put out the fire and came down from the mountain, he found Chen Shishi among the crowd.

Chen Shishi and his wife are planning to go home with umbrellas.

"Eleven, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Xiao Jinyi saw that Mo Jin's face was serious, so he asked, "Uncle Mo, what do you want to do with your husband?"

"Jinyi, this matter has nothing to do with you. You go home first!" Mo Jin said.

Chen Shishi knew why Mo Jinsheng was looking for her, and said to Xiao Jinyi: "Yu Da, Jinyi, you go home and wait for me first. I will come back after I finish talking with Uncle Mo."

Xiao Jinyi's eyelids twitched, she always felt that something bad would happen, she didn't want to leave.

Chen Shishi had no choice but to let her wait here first, and followed Mo Jinsheng to an open place with an umbrella.

Seeing no one around, Mo Jinsheng said, "For more than ten years, there has never been a big fire in Qingping Mountain. The place where Qingping Mountain caught fire today is similar to the place where I rescued you on the mountain. This fire is similar to the one you made this morning. something about it?"

Chen Shixi did not deny it.The weather was hot, she ignited so many explosives at once, it was extremely possible to cause a forest fire.

"Uncle Mo, I will surrender to the government!"

This was also what Chen Shishi had planned a long time ago. If he set fire to the mountain, he should bear the responsibility if he broke the law.

"You're crazy, do you know how the dynasty punishes the crime of arson?"

"I don't know!"

"At least ten years in prison. If there are casualties and property losses, you have to pay money and whip a thousand. If you survive, you will be sent to corvee and you will not be able to return to your hometown for the rest of your life. I know you more or less. A man who dares to take responsibility, so I am here to remind you that no matter how serious the disaster is this time, you must not come out and admit that you caused the fire."

"But..." If someone really died in the fire, she would have a bad conscience for the rest of her life.

"Come on, if you really want to take responsibility, then make peace with Jinyi. I don't want to see Jinyi, who I regard as my own daughter, spend the rest of her life as a living widow."

After Mo Jinsheng finished speaking, he braved the heavy rain and left.

With a heavy heart, Chen Shiyi went back to the shed under an umbrella.

Xiao Jinyi looked at the distraught Chen Shishi, and felt even more worried: "Shishi, what did Uncle Mo tell you?"

"Let's go home first."

When Chen Shiyi came home, he found that Mo Yi, Granny Zhang and others were all at Xiao's house. Mo Yi was finally relieved to see that Chen Shiyi had returned safely.

"Eleventh, just come back, just come back." He really didn't want to suffer the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man away.

Chen Shishi was torn between her responsibilities to society on the one hand and responsibilities to her loved ones on the other. She didn't know how to choose between them.

Back in the room, Xiao Jinyi looked at the preoccupied Chen Shiyi with an increasingly bad premonition, and thought of Chen Shiyi's body being pitch-black during the day, and his clothes smelled of burnt, his complexion immediately changed. Get pale.

She didn't ask anything, but suppressed the panic in her heart, and asked the servants to call hot water to fetch the medicine box, scrubbed Chen Shishi's body again, cleaned the wound, applied good medicine, changed gauze, and put on clothes.During the whole process, Chen Shiyi was like a puppet on a string, and Xiao Jinyi felt extremely uncomfortable.

She used a needle to pop the blood blister on Chen Shixi's hand. Chen Shixi didn't seem to feel any pain, and his eyes were still empty, with a dull expression.She put good medicine on Chen Shishi's hand, wrapped the gauze and bandaged it, and said, "Master, if you believe in Jinyi and regard Jinyi as your wife, then tell me, what happened?"

Chen Shiyi's heart was in a mess, she didn't know what to do, she didn't know what to say, she just hugged Xiao Jinyi by the waist and hugged her tightly...

Chen Shiyi lay on the bed without sleep all night, and so did Xiao Jinyi, the two of them just hugged each other tightly.

At daybreak, Chen Shishi sent Xu Fu to investigate the situation of the fire. Not long after, Xu Fu came back and reported: "Mr. Mo, about [-] acres of forests have been burned in Qingping Mountain.

More than 50 officers, soldiers and civilians were injured, three were killed and eight were missing. "

After listening to it, Chen Shiyi sat slumped on the stool. Seeing Chen Shiyi like this, Xiao Jinyi knew everything in her heart. Before she could comfort Chen Shishi, Chen Shixi said: "Xu Shixi Steward, bring me all the cash in the house, and follow me out later."

"Yes, Mr. Mo!" After Xu Fu left, Chen Shishi looked at Xiao Jinyi and summoned up his courage and said, "Jinyi, I was the one who caused the fire in Qingping Mountain this time. The casualties are so heavy, I can't just live in peace. Mo Uncle has already told me the consequences, you should divorce me. Sorry, I failed you..."

After Chen Shiyi finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Jinyi again. When she was about to go out, Xiao Jinyi hugged her waist from behind, leaned on her back and cried, "No, Shiyi, don't go, we just go When this is a natural disaster, okay..."

"Jinyi, I can't deceive myself... three lives were lost, eight people were missing, and more than 60 people were injured or injured. They are all innocent..." Chen Shiyi's eyes turned red when he said this.She is a soldier, and she is supposed to rescue the common people, but now, she has unintentionally become the executioner who hurts the innocent people.

Chen Shiyi endured his grief, broke Xiao Jinyi's hand, rushed out of the room, and left Xiao's house with Xu Fu.

At the foot of the mountain, there are still countless sheds.When Chen Shishi went there, he saw Mo Yi and several other doctors treating the wounded villagers. There were three charred corpses on the ground. Their relatives knelt on the ground and wailed loudly. Search and rescue of eight missing persons on the mountain.

As time went by, all eight missing people were found, five were seriously injured, and three died, one of whom was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, one was torn to pieces by wolves, and one was burned to death.Among the six people who died, one was an officer and soldier, two were from the neighboring village, and the remaining three were from Xinghua Village. The most important thing was that one of them was actually Fugui's father.

Seeing the family members of the victims crying out of grief, Chen Shiyi felt terrified. Just as he was about to go out, Mo Jinsheng quickly grabbed her, lowered his body and warned, "Think it over, if you just admit it like this , What about Jinyi, what about your grandparents, don't you care about them?"

At this time, Xiao Jinyi also hurriedly chased out from Xiao's house. Seeing that Chen Shiyi hadn't surrendered, she held Chen Shiyi's hand tightly, her eyes full of pleading.

Seeing Xiao Jinyi and Mo Yi with graying hair in the distance, Chen Shishi hesitated...

"My lord, we found these things at the center of the fire. I'm afraid this fire is not as simple as a natural disaster." Liu Jian presented a burnt tattered package and a burnt black bow and gun.

Wen Shizhao took a look and found that there were two strange knives and some strange things in the package. After smelling it, a pungent smell hit his face.

Uncertainly asked: "Sulphur?"

Liu Jian nodded and said: "My lord, there is also a sudden attack in the army. I have seen it in a humble position, and it smells like gunpowder."

Wen Shizhao heard the words and called all the people present: "Fellow folks, the Qingping Mountain fire may not be as simple as a natural disaster. Lieutenant Liu found these things at the center of the fire, and they smelled like gunpowder. I am afraid that someone set the fire on purpose. The fire caused heavy casualties. This officer must bring the culprits to justice and comfort the souls of the victims. Come and recognize it, folks, and see who it belongs to!"

Hearing Wen Shizhao's words, everyone at the scene was filled with righteous indignation, especially the families of the victims, who stepped forward to identify him.Fu Gui stepped forward, took a look, and said in disbelief, "Isn't this Mo Shen's thing?"

So everyone turned their eyes to Chen Shishi, Chen Shishi looked at his fellow villagers, then at Xiao Jinyi and Mo Yi, and finally made up his mind.She broke Xiao Jinyi's hand, looked at Xiao Jinyi's sad, red and swollen eyes and said, "I will take care of myself in the future. I am sorry for you. Divorce me and find a better person to spend the rest of my life with."

Xiao Jinyi cried into tears, and watched Chen Shiyi walk up to Mo Yi, knelt down in front of Mo Yi and said, "Grandpa, my grandson is not filial, so I can no longer serve you, you and grandpa and grandma must take good care of you." .”

When Mo Yi heard this, his old eyes blurred and he was about to fall down. Fortunately, he was supported by the villagers.

Then Chen Shiyi went in front of the six victims, knelt down and said, "Those things are indeed mine. This fire was caused by me unintentionally. I am sorry for everyone. I came here today to take responsibility." , Xu Fu, bring the silver."

Chen Shishi took the money, knelt down and walked up to the victim's family step by step, saying: "Everything is my fault, please accept it!"

One of the family members' eyes were red, and after taking the money, he threw all the money on Chen Shishi's head. Chen Shishi's forehead was smashed, and blood flowed continuously.

"Is it great to be rich? Can my father come back to life if he is rich? You devil, you executioner, why did you set fire? Why did you kill my father!" After finishing speaking, he kicked Chen Shiyi to the ground. On the ground, other family members also came up one after another, punching and kicking Chen Shiyi.

Xiao Jinyi hurried forward crying, pushed those people away, hugged Chen Shishi, and begged: "Please don't hit Shishi, Shishi didn't do it on purpose!"

However, those family members who were overwhelmed by grief and anger didn't stop at all, and beat Xiao Jinyi together.

Chen Shiyi hurriedly used his body to protect Xiao Jinyi tightly. Xiao Jinyi looked at Chen Shiyi's head covered in blood, the corners of his mouth were also bloody, the wounds on his body were split open, and his gray clothes were stained red with blood, crying desperately It was so extreme that she kept crying and begging: "Please, stop beating, stop beating..."

Wen Shizhao felt relieved when he saw Chen Shishi being beaten.Seeing Xiao Jinyi protecting Chen Shiyi regardless of his own safety, he was angry and jealous. Seeing that those folks were going to beat Xiao Jinyi, he wanted to have people stop those folks, but when he saw Chen Shiyi holding Xiao Jinyi's All right, let's just watch the show from the sidelines.

After Mo Yi woke up, regardless of the obstruction of the villagers, he staggered to the family members and said, "If you want to beat me up, just beat me to death, I beg you to let my grandson go, she didn't do it on purpose. ..."

The family members saw Mo Yi, an old man in his 60s, kneeling in front of them, and saw Chen Shiyi spitting out blood. His whole body was covered in blood, only breathing out but not in, so they finally gave up.

"Doctor Mo has treated illnesses and saved people all his life, for his sake, I will spare your life." One of the family members said with red eyes.

When the play was over, Wen Shizhao came over and said, "Mo Shen, why did you set fire to so many people?"

Chen Shiyi didn't have the energy to speak at all, and Mo Jin said: "I was on the mountain at the time, and Mo Shen was besieged by hundreds of wolves, and I used fire potion at the critical moment. I rescued her down the mountain in a hurry, but unexpectedly It was on fire. The fire this time was also an accident. I believe the folks know about Mo Shen, she would not set fire on purpose. This is the end of the matter, you accept the money, after all, life must continue, Mo Shen and her Standing up today, I will take the responsibility she should bear, and I believe Master Wen will deal with it fairly and give everyone an explanation."

Wen Shizhao said: "Uncle Mo Jinsheng is right, I will give everyone an explanation. This time, everyone has contributed to fighting the fire, and will be rewarded according to their merits. The county government will pay a lot of money for these sacrificed folks. Those who caused the fire Mo Shen, I will deal with it according to the law. Someone, put Mo Shen in prison and wait for trial."

Two yamen servants stepped forward and dragged away Chen Shiyi who was in Xiao Jinyi's arms.Seeing the two yamen servants take away the seriously injured Chen Shishi, Mo Yi, Xiao Jinyi, grandpa and grandson could only hug each other and cry, heartbroken.
