Chapter 312 The whereabouts of Liang Ming
The sky is dry and things are dry, and there are many things made of wood in the house. Once a fire breaks out and is not found in time, it will be very difficult to put out the fire after it burns.
When Liang Ming stood at the back door and could see the flames soaring into the sky, the Liang residence finally became chaotic.
"The water is gone, the water is gone, everyone, get up and get water!"
"The third young master's house, you go over quickly!"
"The third young master is still in the room, open the door quickly!"
……
There were screams everywhere in Liang's house, and in a daze, Liang Ming seemed to hear Liang Fulang's sharp cries and Master Liang's angry scolding.
At dawn, the fire in Liang Ming's room was finally extinguished, and the whole Liang house was filled with a choking smell of smoke. Last night, besides his room, the adjacent room also caught fire. The whole house, from the master to the servants, was on fire. They are all haggard.
Liang Ming opened the back door and walked out. No one saw his movements, leaving only the courtyard door slightly open.
Liang Fulang cried all night, his voice became hoarse, and he wanted to rush into the house immediately after the fire was extinguished: "My son..."
"Stop yelling!" Master Liang held Liang Fulang back, his face not much better than Liang Fulang's, "Calm down, there was no cry for help in the house last night, Brother Ming may not be inside."
"Master, Brother Ming has been arguing about not eating for the past few days. His voice and strength are weak. It was so noisy outside just now, how could he hear the voice inside." Qi Qi: "It's clear that this damn servant is lazy and sleeps at night, I want him to be buried with my brother Ming!"
Master Liang looked at him and got annoyed: "Pull Fulang away, take this servant who guards the door to the firewood room and lock it up, then pour water into the room to make sure there will be no more fire before entering, if, if the third young master is still inside , bring him out."
The last sentence was spoken very quietly, and Master Liang looked much older in one night, and the servants were afraid to speak.
The butler of the Liang residence trotted across the yard, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Master, Fulang, I was called to the backyard just now, and it was said that the door of the backyard was opened from the inside. The fire last night was very serious." Someone might have sneaked in and released it."
"Say it again?" Master Liang grabbed the butler's arms, so hard that his knuckles turned white.
"The little one said that the door to the backyard was opened from the inside, maybe someone last night—"
"Good! Good! Good!" Master Liang let go of the steward, and said hello three times, the expression on his face changed from sadness to anger, and the steward was so frightened that he lay down on the ground and dared not continue to say.
Master Liang laughed back angrily: "You don't need to go in and look for it. From today on, there is no third young master in my Liang family. The third young master died in the fire tonight. Let's prepare for the funeral."
"Master, what are you talking about!" Liang Fulang screamed, and fainted on the ground exhausted.
After the fire was extinguished, the Liang family was busier than at night, and the noise in the courtyard next door was full of complaints.
Liang Ming, the older brother of the Liang family who was about to get engaged, died in a fire. The husband of the Liang family was seriously ill. Master Liang quickly canceled the marriage between the Liang family and the Zhou family, which made the Zhou family very dissatisfied with the Liang family.
Because he was still an unmarried brother, and his bones were burned in the fire, Liang Ming's funeral was only held for a day before he was buried. In a day, the Liang family underwent earth-shaking changes.
Cheng Wenliu usually pays attention to the Liang family. After learning about the Liang family, people pay more attention to the Liang family's movements. Liang Ming doesn't look like someone who will burn himself to death. Where is the problem.
The Liang family will marry the Zhou family, but in fact Cheng Wenliu is operating in it. When Liang Ming laid a black hand on Lin Xiazhi, Cheng Wenliu never thought that he would let him go. Finding him a man with the temperament of the Zhou family would be cheap for him. Thinking that the marriage did not work out in the end, all his thoughts were wasted.
Thinking of this, Cheng Wenliu felt a little upset, and he couldn't go back and talk to Lin Xiazhi, so he could only hold it in his heart.
Cheng Fulang also received the news soon. He thought that Lin Xiazhi was very concerned about the Liang family, so he picked and told Lin Xiazhi about this matter. The part on fire was worried that Lin Xiazhi would be frightened, so he didn't make it clear.
Lin Xiazhi didn't think too much about it. He really thought that Liang Ming's room caught fire and was burned to death when he was sleeping at night, so he turned to Cheng Wenliu to share his feelings: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that the time for not reporting has not yet come. I, I'm fine, but now something happened to him, it's really gratifying, if it wasn't for thinking that it would be unkind to add insult to injury, I would have wanted Zhu Yuge to do another discount event."
Cheng Wenliu was angry in his heart, and after listening to Lin Xiazhi's words, Lin Xiazhi was in a good mood and didn't bother with him.
After complaining about Liang Ming, Lin Xiazhi asked Cheng Wenliu to discuss when to go out again. He still went to Linjiacun. Now that the peppers and tomatoes are ripe, he can bring up the matter of selling peppers and tomato seeds that he talked about at the beginning. when.
Liang Ming's situation is unknown, Cheng Wenliu didn't want Lin Xiazhi to go out, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Xia, it's so hot, let's stay in the mansion, I'll go and bring our father and grandma to the county. ?”
Lin Xiazhi frowned: "Cheng Wenliu, what do you mean, the weather was just as hot last time, and you didn't stop me like this when I wanted to go out, so you don't want to go out with me, you just say so, I'll go find you! "
"It's not that I don't want to be with you. The weather is getting hotter now. Walking outside is like being in a steamer. It's uncomfortable." Cheng Wenliu can't tell the truth, he can only talk about the weather.
"Don't talk about the weather. It's not that you can't use the ice basin. You can make as much ice as you want with saltpeter. It won't be hot at all." Lin Xiazhi was not fooled by him, and when he saw Cheng Wenliu's appearance, he suddenly became angry. Suspicious, when he said Liang Ming just now, this person's reaction was not right, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that some of his guesses might be true.
"Okay, Cheng Wenliu, did the matter of Liang Ming make you feel uncomfortable? Did you have any thoughts about Liang Ming?" Lin Xiazhi became more and more angry as he spoke, and raised his hand to slap Cheng Wenliu, his eyes followed Red, feel really wronged.
Cheng Wenliu's head is getting bigger, why would Brother Xia think of this, if he doesn't explain clearly, this matter will cause endless trouble.
"Brother Xia, don't hit me, be careful to hurt your hand. I swear I have nothing to do with Liang Ming. There is a reason for what happened today. If you want to hear it, I will explain it to you." Cheng Wenliu took several slaps from Lin Xiazhi before going Take two steps back.
Lin Xiazhi sniffed, not wanting to hear his explanation at all: "I won't listen, I won't listen, you get out, I don't want to see you."
Tears were falling down, Lin Xiazhi felt uncomfortable, he was pregnant and his temper became bad, Cheng Wenliu dared to think differently about Liang Ming, and he didn't think about whose child he was pregnant with. Who is suffering for.
Cheng Wenliu didn't expect that taking two steps back with his skill and flexibility would make Brother Xia react so strongly that he couldn't stop crying. It was the first time he saw Brother Xia cry like this after being married for so long.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and hugged Lin Xiazhi, Cheng Wenliu hugged Lin Xiazhi to prevent him from breaking free, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Xia, don't cry, every mistake is my fault, please don't let me go!" I cried, crying so hard that my heart ached."
Lin Xiazhi has never been a sentimental person, and his temper came and went quickly after pregnancy. Cheng Wenliu hugged him to comfort him, and the anger in his heart quickly dissipated, and he wiped the tears and snot on his face embarrassingly.
Cheng Wenliu patted Lin Xiazhi on the back lightly, coaxing him like a child.
Not mentioning the way Lin Xiazhi was crying just now, he explained why he didn't want him to go out: "Brother Xia, I didn't explain it to you, but Liang Ming probably wasn't in the burning room, I heard The news said that no one called for help in the burning room that day, and that the back door of Liang’s house was opened from the inside early in the morning, and it is not known who left the Liang’s house.”
"You also know that the Liang family is making an appointment for Liang Ming. The Zhou family is not very good, and the man of the Zhou family is not a good man. Liang Ming has been making trouble at home for several days. I guess Liang Ming set the fire on purpose. He didn't want to marry, so he took the opportunity to leave the Liang family."
"You also know that he is hostile to both of us. How can I take you out without worry if such a person is out alive or dead, and his location is unknown."
Cheng Wenliu clarified the matter and told Lin Xiazhi, for fear that he might misunderstand again.
Lin Xiazhi glanced at him, and used his fierceness to hide his embarrassment: "If you say no, you'll be fine."
Cheng Wenliu put the blame on himself: "It's my fault. I was thinking about this before and I wasn't sure. I didn't say it because I was afraid you would be worried."
Cheng Wenliu's attitude was sincere, and Lin Xiazhi instantly felt that he was more right just now: "If you don't tell me, I don't know anything and run out, that's the real danger. It's better if you said I was prepared and arranged in my heart."
"Then—won't go back to the village?" Cheng Wenliu tried to mention, "I'll go to the village to pick up Dad and Ah Mo, and discuss the tomato and pepper seeds with Dad and Ah Mo at home, how about it?"
"Okay." Lin Xiazhi finally nodded and agreed, "By the way, bring the rice cakes and millet balls too. I miss them. Children will grow up after a few days."
"Okay, just do as you said." As long as Lin Xiazhi doesn't make a fuss and go back, nothing else is a problem.
The next day, Cheng Wenliu set off after breakfast, and went to Linjia Village to bring the Lin family to the county seat.
Lin Chengzu and Yang Yusheng were both busy and didn't follow. Li Xiu and Lin Huzi took their son and grandson into Cheng's carriage.
On the way, Li Xiu was a little worried. Lin Xiazhi used to run home by herself when she was homesick, and Cheng Wenliu rarely asked Cheng Wenliu to take them to the county seat. Did something happen?
Cheng Wenliu couldn't explain it, so he could only tell them that nothing happened, but because the weather was too hot, he felt sorry for Lin Xiazhi's difficulty in making a trip, so he decided to go to the village to pick him up.
