Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Putting it to death and then resuscitating it, if it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, Jia Hu would not have used such a very risky method.

If the fire isn't strong enough before the rebels arrive...

If the rebels really ignored the fire and tried their best to catch him with burns for credit...

If the rebels came to check if he really committed suicide and was burned to death...

If there are rebels surrounding Qiongfang Hall to see if anyone escaped...

Everything, even if there was a slight mistake, Jia Hu and his party would be dead.

But Jia Hu had to do this.Their status in the palace is too low!Tu Youhao is an unfavorable prince. Although he and Han Yan are the sons and grandsons of the family, to the royal family, they are just servants and slaves. How can they take it to heart?The palace is in chaos now, according to Jia Hu's previous analysis, all of this is premeditated by the emperor, in order to paralyze the enemy and make everything more realistic, the emperor will not suddenly transfer them to make people suspicious.

Outside the Qiongfang Hall, the guards who were guarding all ran away, and it was impossible for anyone to rescue them. The rebels were right in front of them. The only thing Jia Hu could do was to mislead the rebels. A dying child tortured by smallpox disease, fearing that the rebels would kill him, he committed suicide earlier, and there was An Yi who was "loyal to the Lord" by the side, as long as the rebels believed that Tu Youhao was dead, they were not interested in braving the fire Take Tu Youhao's 'corpse' to claim credit, and they will have a chance to escape.

It was not easy to prepare for all this. Fortunately, since Jia Hu was able to contact the family, he bribed the guards to buy a lot of things for the small kitchen outside Qiongfang Hall, and there was no shortage of food, oil and firewood.Those guards guarding the Qiongfang Palace all day long are boring and tight, and the Shangguan is not strict in guarding them. Drinking and gambling in private has become commonplace. They ran away, but there was still a lot of wine in the house. After searching, he rushed to smash the broken furniture, chairs, stools, etc., and oiled them, and used the silk gauze to ignite the fire. Before the rebels arrived, the side hall was set ablaze.Jia Hu also asked Anyi to prescribe the imperial physician to the point of decocting them all. With a slight smell of medicine, the medicine juice and medicine dregs were sprinkled in the corner of the entrance of Qiongfang Hall, causing the whole yard to smell like medicine. Remind others, the patient living here is not suffering from an ordinary disease, it is smallpox, which can pass through others and cause death!

Han Yantu Youhao has never had any troubles, and he has never done any work on weekdays, but at the moment of life and death, he is a hundred times more capable than usual. Relying on his small body, he moved the water from the large tank in the courtyard to the house. In the bathtub, he helped to get firewood, pour oil and wine, and set fire to the house.When the fire raged, their skin was hot, and they didn't cry out.When Tu Youhao watched Jia Hu put on his clothes, powdered his face, wet his clothes and set up a stool to hang white silk, his eyes were red, and he almost didn't cry, but Jia Hu had a good impression of him. A lot—this may be a bad-tempered and irritable prince, but he was not ruined by this filthy palace, and there is still some conscience left—of course, if Tu Youhao really thought that Jia Hu died for him It should be, after this test, Jia Hu will definitely ignore the fourth prince.

In fact, Jia Hu never felt that his life was more precious than that of Tu Youhao. On the contrary, if he was not with Tu Youhao now, if Tu Youhao died, the emperor would investigate afterward, even if it was just such a person who was not accepted. The beloved prince may also lose his life's future, and Jia Hu will not risk his life!

Fortunately, they really escaped for a while.The tangy smell of medicine reminds people of smallpox, a scalp-numbing disease. The empty main hall of Qiongfang Hall can't get out any oil and water. The bottle of wine, the 'Fourth Prince' who risked his life and sacrificed his life for the Lord, and finally let the rebels get some benefits, hanged himself early, his pale face, his clothes were burned, he didn't feel it, he fell off and hit the chair They didn't make a sound—the child who was only six years old, if he hadn't died, he would have started arguing a long time ago.Just to get a corpse, risk your life, and there are so many colleagues around, it is not certain whether you can get the credit of "killing the prince", the risk is too high, the reward is too small, those rebels see no benefit But I threw some more firewood into the fire, and left in a boring way, telling Jia Hu and others to come back with their lives at last.

But the four of them were still wounded.

Jia Hu Anyi was the most seriously injured.Needless to say, Jia Hu, although the clothes inside were all wet, the clothes outside were burnt after all, even though his face was covered with a thick layer of powder earlier, it was still red hot, and most of the braided hair was burned , A small piece of the back of the head burned to the scalp, but it didn't burn out, so I applied the medicine on it, maybe it will be cured.The most serious thing was his leg. Although it was not broken, it was not lightly hit. In order to escape for his life, he walked back and forth again, and it took half a year for him to recover.

Anyi bumped into the pillar at that time, and he also used his strength. His head was really smashed, and his face was covered with blood. Although he chose a good position to avoid burning his body, he still burned himself. The ginseng slices in the medicine should be contained in the mouth, otherwise, the blood loss will be too much, the brain will be dizzy, and I will really have no strength to work any more.

Although Han Yantu Youhao hid all the way, the house was full of fire, which burned his skin to some extent, and he was frightened, so he suffered a lot.When digging the wall and running, I thought that I didn’t help at first, so I couldn’t do it with guilt, and I dug desperately, but my hands are tender and pampered. After working so hard, my hands blistered and burned. the pain.

But where do these two people have the face to shout pain?Jia Hu's leg fell like that, and they were all there trying to cheer them up, they really had no face to cry out.I could only endure the discomfort and try to dig a hole.

Fortunately, this Qiongfang Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and the glutinous rice juice pasted on the wall in the early years has long lost its stickiness. Several people carefully hung up the white ash on the surface of the wall, and pried the bricks down one by one along the blue brick pattern. If it came down, just smash it open, and it really opened a small hole that can allow people to climb out.During this process, things kept falling from the top of the head and hit the bed board supporting the space. From time to time, a few people even took some water to soak the bed board to prevent it from starting a fire. Called was burned by fire.If so, when they climbed out, the four of them were a little out of breath. As soon as they came out, they took a big mouthful of breath, hurriedly ran into the small kitchen along the path, and cleared out the small space behind the stove. There is an open space, the stove is relatively high, four people sit behind the stove, and if someone comes in, they can't be seen at first glance.He didn't pay much attention, and sat directly on the woodpile, stroking his chest, all of which was a blessing for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

An Yi found soy sauce and wiped the burns of Jia Hutu, Youhao and the three of them. He said it was a folk recipe, and Jia Hutu, Youhao and others didn't like it very much. It's so dark, what's the use?

Anyi only advised them: "This is a folk recipe, and now we can't invite the imperial physician, so His Highness and the two young masters can make do with it, and let the imperial physician prescribe it later."

All three of Jia Hutu and Youhao had burns. They were too busy running for their lives to pay attention to them. Now that they sat down, they all felt the burns were burning. Anyi's persuasive persuasion was not the kind Dirt, hesitated for a while, in the end it was wiped.The black soy sauce was rubbed on the wound, it was just such a shallow layer, it was not very dark, but it didn't feel anything.

The back of Tu Youhao's hand was scalded by the flames, it was red all over, and the pain was tight, and it was even more uncomfortable to touch it a little.An Yi applied the medicine to him, although his movements were light, but An Yi was used to work, his fingers were rough, but when he lightly touched Tu Youhao's wound, it caused him severe pain, and he instinctively moved his hand Pulled back.After thinking about what was wrong, Anyi hastily apologized to him, saying: "Your servant has rough hands and feet, please make atonement, Your Highness."

Seeing Anyi's trembling appearance, Tu Youhao felt a little guilty for some reason, and then looked at Han Yan Jiahu, Han Yan's squinting eyes, no matter how you look at them, there was a deep meaning in them.Tu Youhao was about to get annoyed, and inexplicably, the image of Anyi colliding with a pillar and falling down when he was under the bed appeared in his mind again. The bright red blood stained his slightly aged face red, and his whole body Lying there, motionless, as if he was really dead... After a pause, Tu Youhao said angrily: "What did I say to you, I am trembling, get up and do your business, I am a man, I am afraid of this It hurts!" Feeling that Han Yan and Jia Hu's eyes were all looking this way, Tu Youhao straightened his waist even more, and waited for Anyi to pour soy sauce on his hands, and gently wiped it away, although it still hurts, Tu Youhao He insisted on not saying a word, not even frowning, pretending to be calm and breezy.

Han Yan glanced at Jia Hu, he had already closed his eyes to rest there, snorted, but didn't say anything.When Anyi came over to wipe the soy sauce on him, he didn't let him, so he took it and wiped it himself. Naturally, he felt pain, but Tu Youhao stared at him, and he gritted his teeth and laughed to wipe his wound After drinking the soy sauce, he turned his head and stuffed the soy sauce bottle into Anyi's hand, and said nonchalantly, "I don't feel the slightest difference after using it. It's some kind of earthen recipe, and I don't know if it will work." That's what he said, without putting on airs .

Anyi smiled apologetically: "This slave doesn't know, but when he was young, everyone in the village used it like this, and the effect is naturally not as good as the imperial doctor's plaster."

Han Yan didn't say any more, and asked Jia Hu if he wanted to rub some: "Since some folks are using it, they don't care about it right now, so you should rub some too."

Jia Hu didn't refuse, and wiped it in silence. Han Yan saw that An Yi was shrinking in the corner, giving up most of the space to them, and told him not to be restrained: "You hurt not lightly, so don't hurt yourself too much. Big guy, how much can our third son occupy, you take care of your own wounds, don't delay the wounds."

Seeing that Tu Youhao and Jia Hu were silent, An Yi moved his body carefully, bowed his body and thanked the three of them, turned his back, and carefully rubbed soy sauce on his burnt area.

For a while, everyone was silent and sat silently. One or two shouts came from a distance outside, but they disappeared soon, but the smell of smoke wafted over from time to time, with the smell of varnish.Every time the voice of people sounded, the four of them were startled, and after waiting for a long time for no one to come, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

Jia Hu lay halfway in the woodpile, and wanted to say something, "I..." Only when he said the word did he realize that his voice was hoarse, and he didn't know when it started, his lips were also tight, and he swallowed. Jia Hu asked Han Yan to get up and look around: "When you first came here to move things, did you see clean water?"

Han Yan himself did a great job, thought hard, nodded and said: "I vaguely remember that there is water, but not much, just half a tank, but the tank is relatively large, and it is not easy to get water, so I didn't move at that time. It's quite clean and should be drinkable."

Jia Hu nodded, expressing his understanding: "It's not easy for us to fetch water at this stall. It's not good to be seen by others. Let's avoid it for a day or two. It's best if there is water in the kitchen. We won't dying of thirst."

Seeing that he kept licking his lips when he was talking, Han Yan hurriedly stood up to pour water for him, An Yi followed closely, and turned around after a while, with an extra bowl of water in his hand, Han Yan gave Jia Hu a bowl, and he One bowl was kept, and An Yi gave both bowls to Tu Youhao.

Tu Youhao looked at Han Yan and Jia Hu with complicated eyes, took a bowl, and pushed the other bowl back to An Yi: "This bowl is for you."

Anyi looked at him unexpectedly, and saw that Tu Youhao's face was flushed, as if he was going to be annoyed, he didn't dare to say more, thanked him quickly, and started to drink in small sips.He is an eunuch, when we went to fetch water together just now, it was not good to skip the master and drink the water first, now drinking the cool water in the mouth, I feel comfortable all over my body.

Later, a few people found some vegetables, fruits and rice noodles in the kitchen. They didn't dare to start a fire at the moment, so they picked some edible food and ate some. They were tired and couldn't hold back their sleepiness. They nodded straight while lying down and half sitting. I have something in my heart, how dare I sleep?I woke up with a slight movement, and at night, everything was silent, the beams and pillars of the side hall and the main hall were on fire, and the sound of burning wood was heard, and the four of them tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

On the second day, when the sun rose in the east, his eyes were black and blue, his face was yellow, and he was very haggard.Outside, it was quiet, with no human voice at all...
