Chapter 103 Chapter 110 Two walk away mourning and compassionately watch the rubble together, compatriots make angry words and have no heart

When Mrs. Jin arrived at this moment, she had been in a trance for a long time, staring at the fire, and suddenly she said, "This is not good." Feng Ju said, "Why are you so anxious, old man? The fire won't burn again." Mrs. Jin said: "Where's Qingqiu? Where's Qingqiu? And the kids?" Everyone suddenly thought of it, and they all cried out.Yanxi squeezed her way out of the crowd and said, "When I went in to get my things, I rushed upstairs to find her. But I called her whatever I wanted, but there was no one there. Later, when I went downstairs, I saw her come out with the baby in her arms." It's gone." Mrs. Jin took a step forward and asked: "Did you come out? This is not a joke!" Yanxi said: "Now that things have happened, why do I have any intention of playing around? She is holding the baby When I came out, I heard the child crying." Mrs. Jin said: "Since she came out, why didn't she come out?" Everyone who stood in the yard said no one saw her.Mrs. Jin said: "Isn't Lao Qi blinded by his eyes? If there is something wrong, one big and one small, my God, then... that... really committed a crime." Yanxi said: "I saw her clearly. If it wasn't her, unless it was a ghost." Mrs. Jin said: "I always say it's her, what about people?" Huichang said: "Everyone, don't panic. Fortunately, the fire doesn't matter. Look around." After grabbing things for a while, Yanxi had just calmed down, but after being threatened by everyone, he also panicked, turned around and ran outside.Mrs. Jin raised her hand and shouted: "Stupid, where are you going?" Yanxi said: "She is timid, maybe she is at the gate." After finishing speaking, she still ran out.

At this time, although the fire path was broken, it was still uncertain whether there was any hope of the fire being extinguished.In addition, the fire brigade was afraid that the wires would catch fire, so they had already turned off several main switches, and all the front and back lights were all turned off.Everyone is only groping in the dark, and no one dares to leave things to find someone.Mrs. Jin was most worried about it. It would be too tragic for a daughter-in-law and a grandson to die in the fire pit.The daughters-in-law wanted to save things, and no one was willing to leave, so they had to urge Xiaolan, "You also find someone for me, and burn it up or not, you are poor anyway, why are you reluctant to leave?" Xiaolan Although I was afraid in my heart, it had been burning for a long time, and after a long time of intimidation, I became a little numb.Since Mrs. Jin was urging her to go, she had to look for it without being alone.But she didn't make up her mind, she just ran around a few yards and came back with nothing.Yanxi ran out of the gate, asked someone, but she was nowhere to be found, and returned to the yard.Now the fire is gradually lowering, and it will no longer burn.In the end, it was a row of empty houses that had been burned, and half of the courtyard where Yanxi lived.The one-story house was demolished, and a room where Peng Zhen lived in the next yard was also demolished.According to the regulations of the police, if a family catches fire, take the victim to the district for interrogation, and be responsible for the fire.But for a decent family, it is enough for a footman to go around the district.As for the cause of the fire, it can be said that the electric wires in the empty room caught fire, and there is no need to bear the responsibility for negligence.What can the police figures here say about the carelessness of the former Prime Minister's family?Now it is the empty house that is on fire, and there is no need for Jinzhai to report it. They have found out from their own investigation that the wires have caught fire.Now there are only two housekeepers in the Jin residence, and they are very familiar with each other, so it is inconvenient to ask questions around the area, just forget about it.After the fire was extinguished, the main switch was reopened, and everyone came to find someone again.This time, everyone is on their way.However, from the inside to the outside, from the outside to the inside, I searched a few times back and forth, where can I see the shadow of Qingqiu?This made it impossible not to suspect that she had escaped or was burned in the fire.

Now the Jin family is bustling again.Relatives and friends kept coming to express their condolences. The living room outside was crowded with many male guests, and Mrs. Jin's room was crowded with all the family members.The matter of the fire was thrown aside, and everyone was discussing about Qingqiu's disappearance.Some people said that Qingqiu embraced the doctrine of world-weariness, and it is unknown if he was burned to death.Some people said that she is not such a stupid person, there are many easy ways to commit suicide, why jump into the fire to die?All relatives and friends came tonight, but the Leng family ignored it.They have a girl here, so why not ask?Qingqiu must have run back, so there is no need for anyone from Leng's family to come.On the contrary, there is a considerable reason for this sentence.Mrs. Jin hurriedly sent someone to Leng's house to inquire. Within an hour, the inquirer came back and said that Mrs. Leng didn't know there was a fire here, and asked if the seventh young lady was safe?I said, only a few spare rooms were burned down, nothing happened.Mrs. Leng said that it was late at night and there was no one at home, so it was inconvenient to go out, and she would come back tomorrow.After Mrs. Jin received this kind of report, her mind calmed down a little, and she started to dance again.Even if this person did not burn to death, but just left without saying goodbye, it is also a bad phenomenon!Everyone discussed it one after another, but they didn't think it was Dongfang Bai.Mrs. Jin couldn't bear it any longer, she took a few people to the courtyard of Yanxi's building, and searched for a while to see if there was any dead body.However, after searching for a long time, there was no trace.Mrs. Jin searched once, and Feng Ju brought people to search again, and the sun was shining on the roof.Mrs. Jin stood by the courtyard gate for two hours. Seeing that there was no sign of misfortune, she felt much more at ease.Yanxi and Jin Rong rushed to report that Mrs. Leng had come.This sentence, cannot but make Mrs. Jin's heart skip a beat.

At this time, before Mrs. Jin could turn around, Xiaolan rushed to report that it was Mrs. Leng who had arrived.Mrs. Jin thought to herself, how can I let her see this place?It's just that she has come, and I can't refuse, so I went out of the courtyard door and waited there.Not long after, Mrs. Leng came.She always wears old-fashioned clothes. On this day, she was wearing a linen gown on her upper body and a long skirt fluttering underneath. Naturally, she looked very calm.Mrs. Jin came forward to greet her and frowned first, saying: "We are very unlucky!" Mrs. Leng said: "Yes, I heard that there was a fire in the house last night, and my body immediately trembled. What a loss, I feel relieved. You know, my family has a small population, and we can't go away in the middle of the night. Qingqiu is a careless child, and she is always naughty during this journey. I don't have her. The solution. She was at..." Mrs. Leng said, walking inwards.She stepped through the corridor door, oops, and stepped back, and she saw that the very elegant and neat little yard had turned into a field of rubble.When she first entered the gate of Jin's house, except for the fact that the ground was soaked, everything else was as usual. All her speculations were almost swept away, and she felt very comfortable.Now seeing that the place where her daughter lived was burned down like this, it was beyond her expectation.Immediately, the color of his face turned blue and white, and he leaned forward and backward when he was standing.Holding on to a pillar in the corridor, she looked at Mrs. Jin and said, "She...she...where is my child?" Seeing her situation, Mrs. Jin's face was also pale and uncertain. Now Mrs. Leng After asking, she could only calmly say, "There is a reason for this, so don't panic." Mrs. Leng said, "Is there a reason? Is she dead or not? I won't ask anything else." Mrs. Jin Said: "Death is not dead, but the people are gone." So he told the scene of Yanxi seeing Qingqiu when the fire broke out last night.Mrs. Leng said: "Yo! He and she are enemies. How can his words be trusted? If you say this, my child must be dead." He only said one sentence, and there was a cry, and he was about to cry.Although Mrs. Jin doesn't want people to cry, how can she stop people from crying after losing a daughter?I had no choice but to lean against the door frame and stand aside to watch.After all, Mrs. Leng is a refined person. It is not right to cry loudly by herself in someone else's house, so she took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth, forced herself to hold back the crying, then wiped her tears and said, "Let's dig in the fire place." Maybe you can find it out." Mrs. Jin said: "You can rest assured. You think, your girl is my daughter-in-law, and your grandson is my grandson. Can I say that I am confused and not find out the truth?" Mrs. Leng also refused to say anything, walked slowly into the gate of the courtyard, and saw that where Qingqiu lived, the underground bricks and tiles were piled up more than a foot thick, and a few beams were erected on the pile of rubble in a mess.The brick walls on three sides stand facing the space, but the house is gone.Where the window was open, there were a few scorched holes on the wall.Mrs. Leng sighed towards the sky: "Why is God only embarrassing this child, but why did he burn down the house where she lives? This child's life is miserable." Just saying this bitter word made her throat choke , Two lines of tears rolled down again.Mrs. Jin said: "Don't worry, I will never lie to you. She really didn't fall into the fire. It's just that she left like this, where is she going? We are still very puzzled." Mrs. Leng took her handkerchief again and wiped it. Wiping away tears, she said to Mrs. Jin, "I'll go and sit in your room. I'm so sad to see you here." This sentence moved Mrs. Jin's heart sorely, but she just stopped crying , How can I go to recruit people again?He said: "I also have something to talk to you in detail."

Said, freely lead the way ahead.When Mrs. Leng arrived at Mrs. Jin's room, she saw that most of the furnishings had been tidied up, and a few boxes were scattered on the table and chairs.Yin said: "Are you planning to move in this house?" " Mrs. Jin said: "Hey!How do you know?The fire last night was so red that half of the sky was broken, and sparks were flying everywhere. It wasn't for the fire brigade's desperate rescue, ten of these houses were also burned down.Because the fire was so big, everyone escaped with their own lives, so they didn't take care of others.After the fire stopped for a while, I thought of Qingqiu, and there was a commotion, and everyone became anxious. Mrs. Leng said: "You have a good conscience. You will always benefit from it in the future. You see, none of the people in the house paid attention to her. That's all. What's the relationship between Yanxi and her?"Also don't know.Ai! After sighing, Mrs. Leng sat on the chair and didn't say another word for a long time. Xiaolan came over to pour tea, and Mrs. Leng said: "Your seventh master should be at home today, right?"You invited him. Xiaolan promised to go, and Mrs. Leng said again: "You must never say that I am here, otherwise, your trip will be considered wasted." " Mrs. Jin listened to her words with a sense of sarcasm. Let's make a point or two. Yanxi is not sure. Maybe she is really not at home this morning. There is no need to do anything bad, but he thought about it. I could really drive a car all over the city to look for Qingqiu. Because Mrs. Jin also sat silently. But she couldn’t do it even if she was silent, and sighed well. Xiaolan went to look for Yanxi, but she was still alone Come back. Mrs. Jin asked: "Where is Qi Ye?Are you not home again? Xiaolan said: "Master Qi is not feeling well, he is lying down in the study." Mrs. Jin said: "Didn't you say that Mrs. Leng is here?"You silly thing. Xiao Lang paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "I followed my wife's instructions and invited him to come."He lay on the sofa and didn't get up, only saying that he was extremely tired. Mrs. Jin said to Mrs. Leng: "Look at this child, he is really careless. He had a quarrel like this last night. Today he will fall ill. Isn't it strange?" Mrs. Leng said: "There is no need for him to come, and I have nothing to say to him."Even if I told him that he would not listen to me, it would be a waste of a few words.Now I can only ask you, think of a way to get this girl back as soon as possible.Don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. If you are thinking of a child, you should also find her.Our relatives don't need to hide it from each other. How can a poor family like mine have the money to offer a reward? Mrs. Jin said: "This matter, if we do it like that, there will be a riot all over the city."To be honest, if Qingqiu really left, it was only because of the disharmony between their husband and wife, and she left in a fit of anger. If she came back, she would naturally come back. If she didn't come back, it would definitely not be an advertisement to get her back. After hearing this, Mrs. Leng suddenly straightened her face and said, "In this way, we will see her lost, and there is nothing we can do about it?"You are a person full of children and grandchildren, so you really don't care. You think I'm just a girl, how can you not care about it?It's really not easy for me to raise this child from childhood to such a big age. "As she spoke, she couldn't help but choked up again. She took the handkerchief and kept wiping away her tears, but the tears were still flowing down. Mrs. Jin is indeed a very shrewd person, but her cunning is very long. Thick. Seeing Mrs. Leng crying tears line by line, she naturally wanted to protect Yanxi, so she couldn't say anything, so she just sat aside silently. Mrs. Leng choked up: "A year ago, I never would have thought This is the case today.I was already suffering, but now I am simply left as a widow, it is really suffering. "These few words unavoidably moved Mrs. Jin's mind, and she shed tears after she felt sad. The two wives were crying towards each other, unable to say a word, so the young lady standing on the sidelines Lan, I don't know what kind of strange feeling, the circles of the eyes are red, and the tears are about to fall. Mrs. Jin turned her head and saw her leaning on a high coffee table in such a miserable situation, she said: "This is strange." , what does it have to do with you, asking you to make such a timid look? "If you don't explain, Xiaolan doesn't care. After explaining, Xiaolan is very embarrassed, so she can only bow her head and walk out of the room. Mrs. Leng is a cowardly person, and it is not easy to say a word to others with a blushing face. , now at a relative's house, crying and talking, I feel that I have violated the rules extremely, and even the girl is aroused to cry, how can I go on talking? I have to wipe my tears and say: "cough!Up to now, it is useless to cry, and I always ask my mother and wife to think of a way, even if I can't find her back, I still have to ask whether she is dead or alive. Mrs. Jin said: "This is of course our responsibility. Even if my mother and wife don't come today and don't say this, can I ignore it?"I have already told them how many brothers there are, and everyone will go to inquire separately.As long as you don't leave Beijing, you won't miss it. Although Mrs. Leng was not very satisfied with this answer, in fact, there was no other way but this, so she had to endure and could not make the second step. She sighed and said, "Just kiss me." My wife thinks this is a good way, so I have nothing to say.Even though she left from the family, it is impossible for me to ask for someone from the family? Mrs. Jin was a little unhappy when she heard her words, but seeing her miserable appearance, she must not embarrass others. She said: "After all, she is a human being, and she has not broken any laws. Of course, she can act freely. .Besides, the family was so busy last night, she fled like the rest of the family, who can stop her from leaving? Mrs. Leng said: "Even so, if Yanxi had a mind to take care of her, I don't think she would have fallen into this situation." " Mrs. Jin was overwhelmed by these words, and couldn't answer why.

It was Daozhi and Minzhi who came in from behind. They were more familiar with Mrs. Leng, and walked in together.First comforted Mrs. Leng for a while, and then said many ways.Mrs. Leng said: "Don't say anything else, the matter has come to such a state, don't talk about responsibility or not, from the point of view of affection, our uncle should also come and discuss a solution with me. I really Unexpectedly, he hid from the general and ignored me. I was sad and looked ugly." Dao Zhidao: "I want to defend him again, he is not hiding from his aunt, he is really right because of this matter. I can't live with anyone, and I feel a little ashamed when I see my aunt. As a mother at home, he is afraid of being blamed even more, so he won't come out for the time being. I will let him go to his aunt's house in a while, and find a proper way." Min Zhidao "I don't think my aunt is going back to the house for the time being. With us, just wait for the news." Mrs. Leng said, "I'm at home. I only knew that there was a fire in the house. I really didn't expect such a tragedy. There is no arrangement for anything, just waiting here for news all day long, but it’s not okay.” Dao Zhidao: “Auntie’s family has something to do, just please go ahead, we have news here, and report to your house at any time.” Mrs. Jin said: “ You have something to do, so sit with me for a while, and wait for them to find someone to bring back some news." Mrs. Leng didn't say yes or no, she sighed, took out a handkerchief, Wipe away tears.The tears just rolled down line by line.Dao Zhiminzhi just looked at it displeased, and just went to comfort her.After talking for another hour, Mrs. Leng saw that there was no news, so she stood up again to say goodbye, put her hands on her chest, bowed to Mrs. Jin, and said sincerely: "Mother, I trust you with respect to the child." As he spoke, he turned around again and bowed to the Taoist sister.Everyone was in an uproar, saying that they didn't dare to do it.Mrs. Jin held her hand and said: "Mother, don't worry, I still have four girls for others? Don't you make me feel more sorry for you?" Mrs. Leng nodded and said, "Mother That said, I'm relieved." As he spoke, he walked out.Mrs. Jin said: "Everyone has his own conscience. Anyway, I can't sacrifice a grandson. Other words can be false, but I will never lie about this one." Then, it was sent to the heavy door of the western-style building, and then it stopped.Sister Dao went all the way to the gate, assigned to drive a car to take Mrs. Leng back, and waited until the car drove away before returning.

Walking into Mrs. Jin's room, she said with a sullen expression: "Lao Qi is too disgusting. Ignore such an important matter and let the old mother fight for him alone?" Dao Zhi said: " It's really not right. Aunt Leng was sitting here just now, and what she said was so good. He can come out and meet, and it will make him feel better. I'll ask him, what is the intention of this?" As he spoke, he asked Yanxi coming from his study.Walking to the door, it was quiet inside, and there was no sound at all. When I stretched my head to look in the window, I saw Yanxi hiding on a couch, holding a piece of white paper in her hand, turning over and over, folding things Son.I looked at that picture, and I was just fascinated, it seemed that I didn't care if the thing was folded successfully or not, it was only interesting to continue to fold it.Daozhi stood outside the door for a while, seeing that he didn't notice outside the door, he called Lao Qi.As soon as Yanxi turned around, she stood up quickly, asked Daozhi to sit down, and asked, "Have you not gone back yet?" You have no heart like you, don't you care at all?" Yanxi said: "Why do I have no heart? The fire has already burned, and I was the one who burned it. I am very unlucky. What can I do? Tell me to cry bitterly at the fire scene. Dao Zhidao: "You still have to talk loudly? Wife and son, life and death are unknown, but you are safe?" Yanxi said: "She is gone, what can I do? This big Beijing city, let me fill the city Can't you find it?" Dao Zhidao: "Whatever you say, you are right, your mother-in-law came just now, why didn't you go see her? There is only this girl, married you, and only hoped for a bright future, but it turned out to be a fire. After leaving, you don't go to comfort him. If he is not a civilized family, what are you going to do if he asks you for someone?" Yanxi said with both hands: "Let her ask for someone, at best, it's just a lawsuit. But I have a mouth, and I can also say, a person is not a thing, how can I guard it? No husband is responsible for guarding his wife, right? " Daozhi sneered: "You are justified, You can say these things, why don't you tell your mother-in-law? If a person hides in the house and says such things, it's nothing." She blushed when she spoke.Yanxi didn't expect that Daozhi was always for her, and today she was so angry, she said: "Don't believe what other people say, thinking that I treated Qingqiu so badly and made her go away. In fact, I'm just busy and don't have time If I perfuse her, she will be dissatisfied with me. You also know my temper. Since she is dissatisfied with me, why should I work so hard to accommodate her, so the two of us will become estranged. You think, she will suddenly move upstairs She looks like she's about to break up with me, do you think I can accept her tricks and humiliate her?" Dao Zhidao said: "She moved upstairs not because you want to go to Germany Go, are you just angry?" Yanxi said: "You can't push it forward, it's not that she has something against me, I wouldn't be angry." Dao Zhi said: "I I thought there was no need to say these things. As a sister, I hope that no one will talk about your shortcomings. Don’t tell me that you have abused women, how can I lose face? It’s just that life is uncertain now, and you always You should forget about her shortcomings." Yanxi said: "Isn't that what you said? I was lying in the room worrying." Daozhi said: "I didn't want to meddle in your affairs, but my mother said, you I was the only one who facilitated the marriage. I am responsible for what happened now. After hearing this, why don’t I get angry? When you can live and die, and that’s the best thing to do, I desperately ask for marriage , those of us on the side, can we say that we will turn our backs in the future and stop you from proceeding?" Daozhi became more and more angry, and his voice became louder and louder. At the end, he fought with his left leg to his right leg, and the two He hugged the knee of his left leg with one hand, and looked to the side with his head tilted.Nose snorted, and said with a sneer: "If another person is changed, it may not be better than Qingqiu, and the suffering is still to come, which is what I expected." Yanxi looked at Daozhi secretly, really angry, this Sister, she always loves herself and is willing to help, so she can't be offended in the end.Then he stood up, cupped his hands and smiled at her, "Don't mention that, as long as you can think of a way with me, she and I are in harmony with each other, and I have nothing to do with it." Daozhi glanced at him and snorted. He said: "Do you still have a heart? You can still laugh now. Although the family is ruined, you almost murdered and set fire." Yanxi blushed and said: "Fourth sister , Your words are a bit too heavy, right?" Daozhi put his thighs down on the floor, tapped his feet a few times and said: "Not heavy! Not heavy!" Yanxi put her hands on her chest He hugged her, held her head high, raised her hands again and said: "Killing people to pay for their lives, debts and money to be paid, the big thing is over. Even if Leng Qingqiu is forced to leave by me, I will just accompany her and it will be over." Said Zhidao: "If you go with her, this is exactly in line with your plan. Let me tell you, don't be so foolish, thinking that you can get rich by going to Germany with the help of Bai Xiuzhu. The aggressive young lady has a temper, if you want to rely on her again, how far should her arrogance grow? Can you bear it?" When he said that, he pointed his hands at Yanxi repeatedly.Yanxi put on a serious face and said: "You look down on me like that, it damages my personality." Dao Zhi said: "I'm a good word, don't think that I kicked your painful foot, you are sad in your heart, you have to know that you are sad now, It’s much better than being sad in the future. You don’t have to argue with me. Let’s go to your mother together and see what she says to you. Whether a person is right or wrong, you can’t force yourself to make a decision. You have to ask everyone for a fair judgment. If you don't believe me, just go with me." When he said that, he pushed him.Yanxi twisted her body and said: "I'm not going." Dao Zhi said: "Hmph! I also know you're not going." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house.
