Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 100
Xie Huaiyu sat in front of the desk, with many sheets of yellowed rice paper spread out in front of him, and he was practicing calligraphy.
When he picked up the pen and dropped it, the characters meandered out on the paper, and each word paused at the place where it was written, bringing out some fat and round meaning, which was different from the lower case script he often wrote or the cursive script he was good at.
Bai Shu looked at it with great interest, and seeing Xie Huaiyu wrote a piece, he said, "What kind of font is it this time? I've never seen you write it before."
"Yan style characters." Xie Huaiyu replied, "What do you think of my writing?"
"Good-looking is good-looking." Bai Shu said: "It's just that this font doesn't quite match your personality, so there is always a sense of disobedience."
"Indeed it doesn't fit." Xie Huaiyu laughed when he heard the words, he pinched Baishu's chin, pecked his lips a few times, and said appreciatively: "Although your handwriting is not good, but you read it well. Understandable. This font is often used by my grandfather. He is a honest and upright person, and this font is upright and simple, so it is most suitable for him."
The handwriting that Xie Huaiyu imitates now is the handwriting of his grandfather left in the Xie family's old house.
His grandfather had lived in the old residence of Xie's family in Baitang Village for many years, and left a lot of calligraphy here, which is just right for him to observe and study.
It is very difficult for a person who has become a self-contained person to change his old habit of writing.
In order to imitate this handwriting, Xie Huaiyu has practiced hard for three days.
It wasn't until today that he finally grasped the rules, paused for a moment at every word, and finally imitated some of his grandfather's demeanor.
Speaking of which, the reason why Xie Huaiyu imitated the handwriting was because of Baishu's identity.
Bai Shu's status is too low, just a country boy.If he directly proposed it to Lord Xie, he would definitely be strongly opposed by him.
It's not that Xie Huaiyu is afraid of Lord Xie, he is not a foolish and filial person, and his relationship with Lord Xie is not very good.
If it was something else, Xie Huaiyu must have directly confronted Sir Xie, threatening him with the title of the Xie family, forcing Sir Xie to agree.
But regarding Bai Shu, he was unwilling to do so.It is very unfair to women, especially brothers, just because of publicizing public opinion.
If Bai Shu hadn't entered the sect yet, and forced Xie's father and son to fight, he would definitely be criticized because of this, and he would always be at a disadvantage.
Xie Huaiyu had been thinking about how to give Baishu an identity a long time ago, and it was not until today that he thought of such a method.
He imitated his grandfather's handwriting in order to forge his hand letter and fabricate a marriage contract between himself and the Bai family.
With this marriage contract, even if Sir Xie didn't like Bai Shu, but his father left a letter, it was justifiable for Xie's family to marry Bai Shu.
Now that the overall situation of the Xie family has been decided, Xie Huaiyu boldly proceeded to do it.
Because when his grandfather was living in the country, he accidentally fell into the river once and fell ill for several days.
He deliberately made up a scene where his grandfather was rescued by the Bai family after he fell into the river.
After all, everyone in the Xie family knew about the grandfather falling into the water.But whether the Bai family was rescued or not, and all the old servants who used to serve in the old house are gone, so there is no one to prove it.
Xie Huaiyu also manipulated the fake paper.He specially found old rice paper, and found someone to make it old.
When the paper was in hand, it was yellow and stiff, no different from the ones on the table.
Xie Huaiyu organized the language and typed up a draft first.
After picking up the pen, I deleted, deleted, and revised it. After writing forty or fifty times, I finally got a copy that I was satisfied with in both handwriting and language.
He put the letter into a pile of letterheads written by his grandfather, and then asked someone to identify it, but no one could tell which one was forged.
Only then did Xie Huaiyu finally feel relieved, and threw all the extra manuscript paper into the brazier and burned it.
Putting the letter in it, he folded it and put it in a slightly old mahogany box.
I plan to bring it to Lord Xie when I return to Beijing next time, as a proof of proposing marriage to Bai Shu.
After preparing these, a big stone in Xie Huaiyu's heart was finally let go.
Even though he still has two years to keep his filial piety, as long as the marriage is settled first, Bai Shu has been given an identity, so it's not good for him to continue wasting like this.
It's just that for some reason, Xie Huaiyu had resolved a major issue, but Xie Huaiyu felt restless in his heart, making him unable to meditate for a long time.
Xie Huaiyu shook his head, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and returned to the bedroom.Because of this souvenir, Xie Huaiyu has been staying at Xie's old house for the past few days.
In the middle of the night, Xie Huaiyu tossed and turned sleeplessly, and suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked out of the window, and saw that through the hazy window paper, the sky outside the courtyard seemed to be a little too bright.
Outside the window, a black figure was moving forward quietly.
Xie Huaiyu was covered in cold sweat, turned over vigilantly, and took out a dagger from under his pillow.
Before the figure reached the door, he retreated to the back window, opened it and looked down.
Xie's house was surrounded by orange flames, and I don't know when it burned!
"It's out of water!" I don't know which servant finally discovered the fire.
He yelled, and servant girls and servants came running from the room with buckets and basins.
The thief at the door seemed to have been discovered, and he didn't care about hiding, so he kicked open the door and rushed into the room.
But seeing no one in the room, looking through the back window, Xie Huaiyu climbed down the big tree and jumped to the ground in a few steps.
"Quick! Don't let anyone run away!" The thief shouted, and sent out a signal from the window, and countless people rushed into the old house of Xie's family, slashing at everyone in Xie's family with their knives in the flames.The guards of the Xie family also rushed up one by one, desperately resisting, not daring to let those thieves rush into the backyard and hurt their young master.
Xie Huaiyu hid and hid, holding a dagger and rushing all the way to the study. There are still many important objects hidden in the study, as well as the forged hand letter, he must get it!
The fire in the courtyard was getting bigger and bigger, and amidst the smog, Xie Huaiyu realized that the study had already been surrounded by a sea of flames.
There was a thump in his heart, and he sank.His forged souvenirs and all his grandfather's pen and ink are in it. After this fire, he can't make it even if he wants to!
At this moment, a burning man rushed out of the study, and the burning man rolled to the ground with a mahogany box in his hand.
Xie Huaiyu recognized it was Xiaoshu at a glance, and hurried forward to save it.
After suppressing the flames, he saw the little tree with a disfigured face and a bun all scorched black, hugging the mahogany box and saying happily: "Master! I snatched the box out!"
Xie Huaiyu had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, and finally said to Xiaoshu: "Good little tree, if you really know me, you will definitely be rewarded this time. But if there is a next time, you must never take such a risk again."
Xiaoshu nodded, and hurriedly said to Xie Huaiyu: "Master, this place is dangerous, let's go out quickly."
The guards of the Xie family, together with the servants, were no more than 20 people, and half of them were women and maids.
Now this place is full of flames, and I don't know how many bandits have come. It would be more dangerous to stay for a moment longer.
White Jade Villa...
Bai Shu's heart beat suddenly, and he woke up sweating profusely.
He just had a nightmare, dreaming that Xie Huaiyu was standing alone in a sea of flames, and the orange-red flames covered the sky and engulfed him.
Bai Shu stood up abruptly, pushed open the window, and walked onto the balcony.
Looking from his room, he saw an eye-popping scene.
The Xie family's old house was engulfed in a sea of flames, and half of the sky was dyed red by the flames.
"Xie Huaiyu!" Bai Shu shouted.Fei Ye rushed out of Baiyu Villa and ran towards Xie's house.
At this time, the movement of Xie's house had awakened many villagers in Baitang Village, and many people also rushed towards Xie's house with buckets and basins.
Bai Shu ran extremely fast, and within a few breaths, he reached the gate of Xie's house.
At this time, the door of Xie's house was opened, and there were swords and swords inside, a group of thieves with knives were slashing wildly inside, and blood flowed outside along the door.
"Xie Huaiyu!" Bai Shu yelled and rushed into the courtyard, and saw several corpses lying at the door, some were culprits, and some were familiar servants.
As soon as he entered, there was a knife wind coming from behind.Bai Shu turned around, took hold of the thief's blade, and slashed his neck with his backhand.
In an instant, blood spurted out from the thief's neck, splashing Atractylodes macrocephala all over his body and face.He was bathed in blood like a Shura, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
The thief opened his eyes wide, covered his neck, and looked at the red mole on Bai Shu's forehead without moving.
It wasn't until he died that he realized that the person in front of him turned out to be a brother, and he was actually killed by a brother...
The thief shook twice and fell down in disbelief.
Bai Shu picked up the thief's knife and rushed in.
At this time, Xie's house was already in flames, and it was unknown where Xie Huaiyu was.
The huge Xie family's old house is now full of corpses. There are dozens of dead servants and thieves alone.
After killing all the way, Bai Shu felt that there were a lot of thieves.Roughly estimated, there are at least 200 people.It's no wonder that even if the guards of the Xie family resisted with all their strength, their fists were no match for their four legs.
Bai Shu ran all the way inward, and met countless thieves.
At first, most of the thieves didn't pay attention to him when they saw that he was only one person, and then he wiped his neck with a knife.
But even if they put him in their eyes and surrounded him together, they were no match for Bai Shu.
Whether it is one person or several people, when Bai Shu sees him, he will be killed with a knife. His whole body is covered with blood spattered by the dead, as if he has been washed by blood.
Such an appearance of Shura is really terrifying, but he can't care about what he looks like now.
When Bai Shu went all the way to the backyard, he saw a scene that made him almost collapse.
A group of thieves surrounded Xie Huaiyu and Xiaoshu.Xiaoshu threw herself on Xie Huaiyu, using her body to block her young master's vitals.
His body was already covered in red, and he had been hacked countless times on his back, and he was still holding a mahogany box in his hand.
Bai Zhu's eyes were dyed red by the flames.He yelled, rushed over, and cut off one of the heads before the thief could react.
The remaining few people resisted Bai Shu, and he killed several people.
Seeing that he was so fierce, those thieves didn't want to fight recklessly.
One of them said something to leave quickly, picked up the wooden box on the ground, turned around and ran away
Bai Shu didn't catch up, but immediately stepped forward to check the situation of Xie Huaiyu and Xiaoshu on the ground.
Xie Huaiyu was already unconscious, he was stabbed in the shoulder, and there were many knife marks on his limbs, but fortunately they avoided the heart and lungs, so there was no serious injury.
But Xiaoshu opened his eyes, he was a little weak, he seemed to recognize the bloody man in front of him as Bai Zhu after some recognition.He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Baishu...you save the young master...and that box...take it back..."
"What's the matter with the box now..." Bai Shu said angrily, turned Xiaoshu over, only to find that a knife went through his chest from behind, piercing a bloody hole.
He tried to plug the bloody hole with his hands, but he couldn't block it no matter what.
When Xiaoshu saw him, he said intermittently: "Don't bother...I...I won't succeed...From now on...the young master has no one to take care of me...you don't want to disappoint the young master...otherwise I won't do...a ghost I will let you go..."
When Xiao Shu said this, he firmly grasped Bai Shu's wrist with one hand.
His baby-faced boyish face was bloodless and frighteningly white.Bai Shu saw that his eyes were distracted, and he didn't know where he was looking. When he exhaled, he had less breath and more breath.
Bai Shu is used to seeing dead people, seeing Xiao Shu like this, he knew he was not going to live.
This is not the Worm Planet, there are no various high-tech medical equipment, such a serious injury, the blood has been drained, there is no way to save it...
For some reason, Baizhu's nasal cavity was sour, and a tear was about to flow out.
He held Xiaoshu's hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry..."
Xiaoshu seemed relieved after hearing his voice.
He exhaled his last foul breath and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.
The fire in Xie's house was getting bigger and bigger, even the jujube trees and flowers in the courtyard were ablaze.
The night sky in Baitang Village was full of red light, which was reflected by the raging sea of fire like daytime.
Bai Shu tore off a piece of sleeve, tied Xiaoshu's body behind her back, leaned over and picked up Xie Huaiyu, and walked out of the flames of Xie's family.
Outside the door of Xie's house, there were many villagers around, and some servants who had escaped were staring blankly at the soaring flames, as if they still couldn't believe what they had just experienced...
Overnight, the majestic Xie's old mansion was in ruins, and all their companions who had been with them day and night also died...
·
When Xie Huaiyu woke up, it was already two days later.
He was lying on Baishu's bed in Baiyu Villa, his body was wrapped in thick bandages, his face was very pale.
After waking up after seeing Xie Huaiyu, Bai Zhuchang breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot.
His eyes were red and swollen, and they were bloodshot. Xie Huaiyu was in a coma for two days, and he was extremely nervous and worried for two days.
Although Xie Huaiyu's injuries were not deep, there were also many wounds.
Fortunately, Qi Qinyue arrived quickly and brought the best gold-chuang medicine in the army, and the wound did not cause infection.
"Bai Shu..." Xie Huaiyu smiled when he saw Bai Shu: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."
Bai Shu saw that his lips were white and dry, so he brought tea to feed him.
Xie Huaiyu was also extremely thirsty, and drank a cup of tea in one go.
"Why am I here with you..." Xie Huaiyu asked after finishing his tea.
Bai Shu paused for a moment, then said: "I saw it was on fire that day, so I went to look for you."
Xie Huaiyu frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Are you okay? Have you met a thief?"
"Yes." Bai Shu nodded, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I didn't get hurt at all, don't worry."
Only then did Xie Huaiyu feel relieved, and asked in a thoughtful way: "How is the little tree?"
Bai Shu was silent for a while, and did not speak.
Xie Huaiyu was taken aback, grabbed Bai Shu's hand tightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "He...how is he?"
Bai Shu shook his head, and said after a long time: "I'm late...he...will be brought back to the capital or buried here...just waiting for your arrangement..."
When Xie Huaiyu heard the words, he also closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Xie Huaiyu is a gentle person, and his breath is always warm.
But at this moment, Bai Shu felt that he was like an ice blade buried in the snow field, the cold made him feel distressed.
He leaned forward a little and hugged Xie Huaiyu gently, not daring to use too much force for fear of breaking the wound.
Xie Huaiyu stretched out his arms to hug her back, resting his chin on Baishu's shoulder and said, "Baishu...you are the only one left by my side now..."
Bai Shu felt that Xie Huaiyu's voice was a little choked up, and his shoulders were also a little damp and hot.
He was very sad in his heart, and he didn't dare to get up to look, so he could only caress Xie Huaiyu's back from behind.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Huaiyu let go of him and stood up. When Bai Shu looked at him again, he saw that his eyes were slightly red, but his face was very calm.
At such a time, no matter how much pain there was in my heart, it was all taken back to my stomach.
"Let's bury him in Baitang Village." Xie Huaiyu said, "He likes it here."
Bai Shu nodded, since Xie Huaiyu said so, he can start to make arrangements tomorrow.
"Baishu..." Xie Huaiyu paused and said, "Help him better... He was bought by me when he was six years old, and he lived with my master and servant for eight years. I don't just treat him as a slave, but also a half Brother's..."
Bai Shu nodded, he knew that Xiao Shu was not an ordinary servant, Xiao Shu's sincerity to Xie Huaiyu could be learned from, Xie Huaiyu was not that kind of cruel person, and he also treated Xiao Shu very well, like a younger brother.Moreover, he and Xiaoshu have known each other for a year, and there is also some friendship.
"I'll make arrangements now." Bai Shu got up and said, "You sleep a little longer, and I'll get you some medicine in exchange."
Xie Huaiyu lay down obediently, and did not forget to explain: "Leave those things to the servants, and you also go to rest for a while."
Bai Shu closed the door and left, went downstairs to find Xiao Dong, and explained the matters related to Xiao Shu's funeral.
At this time, I saw Qi Qinyue coming out of the room and asked: "Is he awake?"
Bai Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I just woke up."
When Qi Qinyue heard this, she turned around and went upstairs.
After another long time, Qi Qinyue came down from the stairs, her eyes were a little red, she saw Bai Shu and said, "I'm really sorry for Brother Ruishi. He had a hard time in Xie's house, and the maid beside him All the servants were bought by the Lou family, but Xiaoshu was the only one who was really loyal and could not be bought. I also feel grateful for Xiaoshu. Although he is not clever, Ruishi believed in him and kept him by his side. Now that he is here, There is no one trustworthy around Rui Shi."
After a while, he took out another ingot of gold and said: "Xiaoshu's funeral, let's do it in a more dignified manner. Anyway, I have known him for a while, so let's send him a ride."
Bai Shu took the gold and thanked Qi Qinyue for Xiaoshu.Xiaodong secretly wiped his tears from the sidelines, but he actually cried.
Bai Shu gave him the gold and told him to take it and buy it properly.He himself took the soup and went up to Xie Huaiyu to drink.
Xiaodong went to the town to buy a high-quality nanmu coffin, and bought a lot of funeral objects, everything that one expects to find, very complete.
On the day of the burial, Bai Shu helped Xie Huaiyu to see it.
Xie Huaiyu personally wrote a eulogy for Xiaoshu, and after reading it, he burned it on his grave.
A few days later, Xie Huaiyu suddenly said to Bai Shu, "Bai Shu, I'm going back to Beijing with Qi Qinyue."
Bai Shu was startled, and looked at Xie Huaiyu.Although his injuries have healed a bit, he is still very weak, and it is said that he will have to recuperate for several months.
"I have to go." Xie Huaiyu smiled wryly and said, "And...the matter of the engagement, I'm afraid you will have to wait again..."
Bai Shu's heart was sour, she didn't know what it was like, she just asked, "Why?"
Xie Huaiyu quickly said: "Baitang Village is located in a comfortable place, and there hasn't been any banditry in a hundred years. These thieves are obviously targeting me this time, and I'm afraid they are not kind. If I stay here, I'm afraid there will be another The second wave and the third wave of thieves are coming. At that time, the next target will be this Baiyu Villa, and I don't want you to be in danger."
"I'm not afraid of them!" Bai Shu said angrily.
"You are not afraid, but there are so many people in this village." Xie Huaiyu said: "I believe that you alone can protect me well, but there are so many people in this village, can you protect me?"
He has fought in battles before, so he knows what Xie Huaiyu said is true, no matter how powerful he is, he can't protect the security of so many people.
"Then I'll go back with you?" Bai Shu said.
"No, I have something important to do in Beijing, so I can't take care of you, just wait for me..." Xie Huaiyu said.
If the souvenir hadn't been lost, he might be able to give Bai Shu a title in advance and bring him back to Beijing.Now we can only think about it in the long run...
After some analysis with Qi Qinyue in the past few days, he guessed that the person who made the attack was either Zhao Yan or the Queen's.
Zhao Yan had some grievances with Bai Shu, if he brought Bai Shu back, wouldn't it be at Zhao Yan's hands?
He had already lost a confidant, Xiao Shu, and he absolutely could not take such a risk again.
Bai Shu also fell silent when he heard the words, he knew that Xie Huaiyu's return to Beijing was the safest.The Qi family's army guarded the outskirts of Beijing, and the city was full of imperial guards.
Under strict defense, the thieves have no room to do anything.
However, Xie Huaiyu wanted to return to Beijing, and he couldn't follow him, because he wanted to separate from him.
After this separation, I don't know how long it will take to meet each other.
"Believe me, within two years, there will be results." Xie Huaiyu looked at Bai Shu with burning eyes and said to him.
Bai Shu pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, then finally nodded and said: "I believe in you, I'll wait for you..."
Xie Huaiyu then smiled lightly and felt relieved.
He knew that Bai Shu really believed him.
After explaining the matter, Xie Huaiyu took out a box, pushed it in front of Baishu and said, "This is all my wealth. I have silver and a few shops in Beijing, so I took them away. When I'm not around, you Help me take care of these things."
Bai Shu was taken aback, and opened the box, only to find that it was full of house deeds and land deeds, as well as the directories and accounts of various shops.
"This is..." He saw a familiar name inside.
Picking it up and looking, it turned out to be the accounts of Laifulou. There were nine volumes in a thick stack, and all the branches in Daxuan except the capital city were included in it.
In addition, there are countless medicine shops, jewelry shops, gouache shops, etc... There are many famous shops in Fucheng.
There are also 300 mu of Shangtian, 200 mu of Zhongtian, and several real estate scattered around Daxuan.
"This is from the Tang family..." Bai Shu said in surprise, looking at the man in front of him.
He was surprised by this matter, but it was within reason.
Xie Huaiyu is a son of a nobleman, but he knows all about business matters like the palm of his hand.If he was running so many businesses, everything would make sense.
"That's right, I'm the one taking care of it." Xie Huaiyu said indifferently: "Now it's all in your hands, and it will be yours in the future."
In fact, there were more properties in the original property, but before he was preparing to propose marriage to Bai Shu, he took the contracts of several shops and some bank notes in advance and put them in the mahogany box as a dowry gift.
It's a pity that the box has been snatched away, and those banknotes and storefronts must have fallen into the hands of others.
"Why did you suddenly give me so many shops..." Bai Shu looked at the contracts in the box and murmured.
"Although you believe me, I have to make you feel more at ease." Xie Huaiyu said: "It's just that when I marry you, I'm afraid there won't be so many dowry gifts. You don't think I'm shabby."
Bai Shu tightened the box in his hand, looked at Xie Huaiyu with watery eyes, and said, "Come get married earlier! Two years is too long! Don't make me wait too long!"
When he picked up the pen and dropped it, the characters meandered out on the paper, and each word paused at the place where it was written, bringing out some fat and round meaning, which was different from the lower case script he often wrote or the cursive script he was good at.
Bai Shu looked at it with great interest, and seeing Xie Huaiyu wrote a piece, he said, "What kind of font is it this time? I've never seen you write it before."
"Yan style characters." Xie Huaiyu replied, "What do you think of my writing?"
"Good-looking is good-looking." Bai Shu said: "It's just that this font doesn't quite match your personality, so there is always a sense of disobedience."
"Indeed it doesn't fit." Xie Huaiyu laughed when he heard the words, he pinched Baishu's chin, pecked his lips a few times, and said appreciatively: "Although your handwriting is not good, but you read it well. Understandable. This font is often used by my grandfather. He is a honest and upright person, and this font is upright and simple, so it is most suitable for him."
The handwriting that Xie Huaiyu imitates now is the handwriting of his grandfather left in the Xie family's old house.

Speaking of which, the reason why Xie Huaiyu imitated the handwriting was because of Baishu's identity.
Bai Shu's status is too low, just a country boy.If he directly proposed it to Lord Xie, he would definitely be strongly opposed by him.
It's not that Xie Huaiyu is afraid of Lord Xie, he is not a foolish and filial person, and his relationship with Lord Xie is not very good.

But regarding Bai Shu, he was unwilling to do so.It is very unfair to women, especially brothers, just because of publicizing public opinion.

I plan to bring it to Lord Xie when I return to Beijing next time, as a proof of proposing marriage to Bai Shu.
After preparing these, a big stone in Xie Huaiyu's heart was finally let go.

But seeing no one in the room, looking through the back window, Xie Huaiyu climbed down the big tree and jumped to the ground in a few steps.
"Quick! Don't let anyone run away!" The thief shouted, and sent out a signal from the window, and countless people rushed into the old house of Xie's family, slashing at everyone in Xie's family with their knives in the flames.The guards of the Xie family also rushed up one by one, desperately resisting, not daring to let those thieves rush into the backyard and hurt their young master.
Xie Huaiyu hid and hid, holding a dagger and rushing all the way to the study. There are still many important objects hidden in the study, as well as the forged hand letter, he must get it!

At this moment, a burning man rushed out of the study, and the burning man rolled to the ground with a mahogany box in his hand.
Xie Huaiyu recognized it was Xiaoshu at a glance, and hurried forward to save it.
After suppressing the flames, he saw the little tree with a disfigured face and a bun all scorched black, hugging the mahogany box and saying happily: "Master! I snatched the box out!"
Xie Huaiyu had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, and finally said to Xiaoshu: "Good little tree, if you really know me, you will definitely be rewarded this time. But if there is a next time, you must never take such a risk again."
Xiaoshu nodded, and hurriedly said to Xie Huaiyu: "Master, this place is dangerous, let's go out quickly."
The guards of the Xie family, together with the servants, were no more than 20 people, and half of them were women and maids.
Now this place is full of flames, and I don't know how many bandits have come. It would be more dangerous to stay for a moment longer.
White Jade Villa...
Bai Shu's heart beat suddenly, and he woke up sweating profusely.
He just had a nightmare, dreaming that Xie Huaiyu was standing alone in a sea of flames, and the orange-red flames covered the sky and engulfed him.
Bai Shu stood up abruptly, pushed open the window, and walked onto the balcony.
Looking from his room, he saw an eye-popping scene.
The Xie family's old house was engulfed in a sea of flames, and half of the sky was dyed red by the flames.
"Xie Huaiyu!" Bai Shu shouted.Fei Ye rushed out of Baiyu Villa and ran towards Xie's house.
At this time, the movement of Xie's house had awakened many villagers in Baitang Village, and many people also rushed towards Xie's house with buckets and basins.
Bai Shu ran extremely fast, and within a few breaths, he reached the gate of Xie's house.
At this time, the door of Xie's house was opened, and there were swords and swords inside, a group of thieves with knives were slashing wildly inside, and blood flowed outside along the door.
"Xie Huaiyu!" Bai Shu yelled and rushed into the courtyard, and saw several corpses lying at the door, some were culprits, and some were familiar servants.
As soon as he entered, there was a knife wind coming from behind.Bai Shu turned around, took hold of the thief's blade, and slashed his neck with his backhand.
In an instant, blood spurted out from the thief's neck, splashing Atractylodes macrocephala all over his body and face.He was bathed in blood like a Shura, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
The thief opened his eyes wide, covered his neck, and looked at the red mole on Bai Shu's forehead without moving.
It wasn't until he died that he realized that the person in front of him turned out to be a brother, and he was actually killed by a brother...
The thief shook twice and fell down in disbelief.
Bai Shu picked up the thief's knife and rushed in.
At this time, Xie's house was already in flames, and it was unknown where Xie Huaiyu was.
The huge Xie family's old house is now full of corpses. There are dozens of dead servants and thieves alone.
After killing all the way, Bai Shu felt that there were a lot of thieves.Roughly estimated, there are at least 200 people.It's no wonder that even if the guards of the Xie family resisted with all their strength, their fists were no match for their four legs.
Bai Shu ran all the way inward, and met countless thieves.
At first, most of the thieves didn't pay attention to him when they saw that he was only one person, and then he wiped his neck with a knife.
But even if they put him in their eyes and surrounded him together, they were no match for Bai Shu.
Whether it is one person or several people, when Bai Shu sees him, he will be killed with a knife. His whole body is covered with blood spattered by the dead, as if he has been washed by blood.
Such an appearance of Shura is really terrifying, but he can't care about what he looks like now.
When Bai Shu went all the way to the backyard, he saw a scene that made him almost collapse.
A group of thieves surrounded Xie Huaiyu and Xiaoshu.Xiaoshu threw herself on Xie Huaiyu, using her body to block her young master's vitals.
His body was already covered in red, and he had been hacked countless times on his back, and he was still holding a mahogany box in his hand.
Bai Zhu's eyes were dyed red by the flames.He yelled, rushed over, and cut off one of the heads before the thief could react.
The remaining few people resisted Bai Shu, and he killed several people.
Seeing that he was so fierce, those thieves didn't want to fight recklessly.
One of them said something to leave quickly, picked up the wooden box on the ground, turned around and ran away
Bai Shu didn't catch up, but immediately stepped forward to check the situation of Xie Huaiyu and Xiaoshu on the ground.
Xie Huaiyu was already unconscious, he was stabbed in the shoulder, and there were many knife marks on his limbs, but fortunately they avoided the heart and lungs, so there was no serious injury.
But Xiaoshu opened his eyes, he was a little weak, he seemed to recognize the bloody man in front of him as Bai Zhu after some recognition.He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Baishu...you save the young master...and that box...take it back..."
"What's the matter with the box now..." Bai Shu said angrily, turned Xiaoshu over, only to find that a knife went through his chest from behind, piercing a bloody hole.
He tried to plug the bloody hole with his hands, but he couldn't block it no matter what.
When Xiaoshu saw him, he said intermittently: "Don't bother...I...I won't succeed...From now on...the young master has no one to take care of me...you don't want to disappoint the young master...otherwise I won't do...a ghost I will let you go..."
When Xiao Shu said this, he firmly grasped Bai Shu's wrist with one hand.
His baby-faced boyish face was bloodless and frighteningly white.Bai Shu saw that his eyes were distracted, and he didn't know where he was looking. When he exhaled, he had less breath and more breath.
Bai Shu is used to seeing dead people, seeing Xiao Shu like this, he knew he was not going to live.
This is not the Worm Planet, there are no various high-tech medical equipment, such a serious injury, the blood has been drained, there is no way to save it...
For some reason, Baizhu's nasal cavity was sour, and a tear was about to flow out.
He held Xiaoshu's hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry..."
Xiaoshu seemed relieved after hearing his voice.
He exhaled his last foul breath and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.
The fire in Xie's house was getting bigger and bigger, even the jujube trees and flowers in the courtyard were ablaze.
The night sky in Baitang Village was full of red light, which was reflected by the raging sea of fire like daytime.
Bai Shu tore off a piece of sleeve, tied Xiaoshu's body behind her back, leaned over and picked up Xie Huaiyu, and walked out of the flames of Xie's family.
Outside the door of Xie's house, there were many villagers around, and some servants who had escaped were staring blankly at the soaring flames, as if they still couldn't believe what they had just experienced...
Overnight, the majestic Xie's old mansion was in ruins, and all their companions who had been with them day and night also died...
·
When Xie Huaiyu woke up, it was already two days later.
He was lying on Baishu's bed in Baiyu Villa, his body was wrapped in thick bandages, his face was very pale.
After waking up after seeing Xie Huaiyu, Bai Zhuchang breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot.
His eyes were red and swollen, and they were bloodshot. Xie Huaiyu was in a coma for two days, and he was extremely nervous and worried for two days.
Although Xie Huaiyu's injuries were not deep, there were also many wounds.
Fortunately, Qi Qinyue arrived quickly and brought the best gold-chuang medicine in the army, and the wound did not cause infection.
"Bai Shu..." Xie Huaiyu smiled when he saw Bai Shu: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."
Bai Shu saw that his lips were white and dry, so he brought tea to feed him.
Xie Huaiyu was also extremely thirsty, and drank a cup of tea in one go.
"Why am I here with you..." Xie Huaiyu asked after finishing his tea.
Bai Shu paused for a moment, then said: "I saw it was on fire that day, so I went to look for you."
Xie Huaiyu frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Are you okay? Have you met a thief?"
"Yes." Bai Shu nodded, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I didn't get hurt at all, don't worry."
Only then did Xie Huaiyu feel relieved, and asked in a thoughtful way: "How is the little tree?"
Bai Shu was silent for a while, and did not speak.
Xie Huaiyu was taken aback, grabbed Bai Shu's hand tightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "He...how is he?"
Bai Shu shook his head, and said after a long time: "I'm late...he...will be brought back to the capital or buried here...just waiting for your arrangement..."
When Xie Huaiyu heard the words, he also closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Xie Huaiyu is a gentle person, and his breath is always warm.
But at this moment, Bai Shu felt that he was like an ice blade buried in the snow field, the cold made him feel distressed.
He leaned forward a little and hugged Xie Huaiyu gently, not daring to use too much force for fear of breaking the wound.
Xie Huaiyu stretched out his arms to hug her back, resting his chin on Baishu's shoulder and said, "Baishu...you are the only one left by my side now..."
Bai Shu felt that Xie Huaiyu's voice was a little choked up, and his shoulders were also a little damp and hot.
He was very sad in his heart, and he didn't dare to get up to look, so he could only caress Xie Huaiyu's back from behind.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Huaiyu let go of him and stood up. When Bai Shu looked at him again, he saw that his eyes were slightly red, but his face was very calm.
At such a time, no matter how much pain there was in my heart, it was all taken back to my stomach.
"Let's bury him in Baitang Village." Xie Huaiyu said, "He likes it here."
Bai Shu nodded, since Xie Huaiyu said so, he can start to make arrangements tomorrow.
"Baishu..." Xie Huaiyu paused and said, "Help him better... He was bought by me when he was six years old, and he lived with my master and servant for eight years. I don't just treat him as a slave, but also a half Brother's..."
Bai Shu nodded, he knew that Xiao Shu was not an ordinary servant, Xiao Shu's sincerity to Xie Huaiyu could be learned from, Xie Huaiyu was not that kind of cruel person, and he also treated Xiao Shu very well, like a younger brother.Moreover, he and Xiaoshu have known each other for a year, and there is also some friendship.
"I'll make arrangements now." Bai Shu got up and said, "You sleep a little longer, and I'll get you some medicine in exchange."
Xie Huaiyu lay down obediently, and did not forget to explain: "Leave those things to the servants, and you also go to rest for a while."
Bai Shu closed the door and left, went downstairs to find Xiao Dong, and explained the matters related to Xiao Shu's funeral.
At this time, I saw Qi Qinyue coming out of the room and asked: "Is he awake?"
Bai Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I just woke up."
When Qi Qinyue heard this, she turned around and went upstairs.
After another long time, Qi Qinyue came down from the stairs, her eyes were a little red, she saw Bai Shu and said, "I'm really sorry for Brother Ruishi. He had a hard time in Xie's house, and the maid beside him All the servants were bought by the Lou family, but Xiaoshu was the only one who was really loyal and could not be bought. I also feel grateful for Xiaoshu. Although he is not clever, Ruishi believed in him and kept him by his side. Now that he is here, There is no one trustworthy around Rui Shi."
After a while, he took out another ingot of gold and said: "Xiaoshu's funeral, let's do it in a more dignified manner. Anyway, I have known him for a while, so let's send him a ride."
Bai Shu took the gold and thanked Qi Qinyue for Xiaoshu.Xiaodong secretly wiped his tears from the sidelines, but he actually cried.
Bai Shu gave him the gold and told him to take it and buy it properly.He himself took the soup and went up to Xie Huaiyu to drink.
Xiaodong went to the town to buy a high-quality nanmu coffin, and bought a lot of funeral objects, everything that one expects to find, very complete.
On the day of the burial, Bai Shu helped Xie Huaiyu to see it.
Xie Huaiyu personally wrote a eulogy for Xiaoshu, and after reading it, he burned it on his grave.
A few days later, Xie Huaiyu suddenly said to Bai Shu, "Bai Shu, I'm going back to Beijing with Qi Qinyue."
Bai Shu was startled, and looked at Xie Huaiyu.Although his injuries have healed a bit, he is still very weak, and it is said that he will have to recuperate for several months.
"I have to go." Xie Huaiyu smiled wryly and said, "And...the matter of the engagement, I'm afraid you will have to wait again..."
Bai Shu's heart was sour, she didn't know what it was like, she just asked, "Why?"
Xie Huaiyu quickly said: "Baitang Village is located in a comfortable place, and there hasn't been any banditry in a hundred years. These thieves are obviously targeting me this time, and I'm afraid they are not kind. If I stay here, I'm afraid there will be another The second wave and the third wave of thieves are coming. At that time, the next target will be this Baiyu Villa, and I don't want you to be in danger."
"I'm not afraid of them!" Bai Shu said angrily.
"You are not afraid, but there are so many people in this village." Xie Huaiyu said: "I believe that you alone can protect me well, but there are so many people in this village, can you protect me?"
He has fought in battles before, so he knows what Xie Huaiyu said is true, no matter how powerful he is, he can't protect the security of so many people.
"Then I'll go back with you?" Bai Shu said.
"No, I have something important to do in Beijing, so I can't take care of you, just wait for me..." Xie Huaiyu said.
If the souvenir hadn't been lost, he might be able to give Bai Shu a title in advance and bring him back to Beijing.Now we can only think about it in the long run...
After some analysis with Qi Qinyue in the past few days, he guessed that the person who made the attack was either Zhao Yan or the Queen's.
Zhao Yan had some grievances with Bai Shu, if he brought Bai Shu back, wouldn't it be at Zhao Yan's hands?
He had already lost a confidant, Xiao Shu, and he absolutely could not take such a risk again.
Bai Shu also fell silent when he heard the words, he knew that Xie Huaiyu's return to Beijing was the safest.The Qi family's army guarded the outskirts of Beijing, and the city was full of imperial guards.
Under strict defense, the thieves have no room to do anything.
However, Xie Huaiyu wanted to return to Beijing, and he couldn't follow him, because he wanted to separate from him.
After this separation, I don't know how long it will take to meet each other.
"Believe me, within two years, there will be results." Xie Huaiyu looked at Bai Shu with burning eyes and said to him.
Bai Shu pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, then finally nodded and said: "I believe in you, I'll wait for you..."
Xie Huaiyu then smiled lightly and felt relieved.
He knew that Bai Shu really believed him.
After explaining the matter, Xie Huaiyu took out a box, pushed it in front of Baishu and said, "This is all my wealth. I have silver and a few shops in Beijing, so I took them away. When I'm not around, you Help me take care of these things."
Bai Shu was taken aback, and opened the box, only to find that it was full of house deeds and land deeds, as well as the directories and accounts of various shops.
"This is..." He saw a familiar name inside.
Picking it up and looking, it turned out to be the accounts of Laifulou. There were nine volumes in a thick stack, and all the branches in Daxuan except the capital city were included in it.
In addition, there are countless medicine shops, jewelry shops, gouache shops, etc... There are many famous shops in Fucheng.
There are also 300 mu of Shangtian, 200 mu of Zhongtian, and several real estate scattered around Daxuan.
"This is from the Tang family..." Bai Shu said in surprise, looking at the man in front of him.
He was surprised by this matter, but it was within reason.
Xie Huaiyu is a son of a nobleman, but he knows all about business matters like the palm of his hand.If he was running so many businesses, everything would make sense.
"That's right, I'm the one taking care of it." Xie Huaiyu said indifferently: "Now it's all in your hands, and it will be yours in the future."
In fact, there were more properties in the original property, but before he was preparing to propose marriage to Bai Shu, he took the contracts of several shops and some bank notes in advance and put them in the mahogany box as a dowry gift.
It's a pity that the box has been snatched away, and those banknotes and storefronts must have fallen into the hands of others.
"Why did you suddenly give me so many shops..." Bai Shu looked at the contracts in the box and murmured.
"Although you believe me, I have to make you feel more at ease." Xie Huaiyu said: "It's just that when I marry you, I'm afraid there won't be so many dowry gifts. You don't think I'm shabby."
Bai Shu tightened the box in his hand, looked at Xie Huaiyu with watery eyes, and said, "Come get married earlier! Two years is too long! Don't make me wait too long!"
