Chapter 55 Mansion(1/2)
Jingxiang, Liufu.
There is a lake in the mansion and lotus in the lake.
The breeze blows, the lake ripples, the red and green sways, and the lush green is lush.
A small boat was shuttled among the lotus, and two figures were standing on the boat, carefully picking green lotus pods.
Lakeside.
Two young women were sitting in the pavilion, with a sad face.
The one on the left, named Chen Jiaorong, is the wife of the Liu family. She originally had two children and one daughter, but now she only has one daughter.
The fifteen-year-old girl Liu Zidai in the lake is her daughter.
The one on the right, named Xu Qiuyu, is a concubine of the Liu family. She has a son and a daughter, and now she has only one daughter left.
The nine-year-old girl in the lake is Liu Zimei, her little daughter.
In the huge Liu Mansion, except for the four of them, there are only two maids left.
All male children were implicated and killed, while other female children went their separate ways and left one after another.
Except for this mansion, the other property of the Liu family was divided up, and now they can't even eat three meals a day.
Gold, silver jewelry, all kinds of precious furniture, and all those that can be sold have been sold.
Now the only one that can be sold is left.
The house is too big and is an ominous place. After they sell it, they will buy a smaller house, have the remaining money, and do some small business, so they should be able to make a living in front of them.
But this house is sold too expensive and no one buys it. It is cheap and too lossy. And even if it is cheap, it is not easy to sell.
After all, this was an unknown disaster. All males were killed, and even women hanged themselves.
For many people, it is very taboo.
Many buyers rushed over intrigue and turned around and left as soon as they inquire. Even if they were a few hundred taels cheaper, they would not dare to ask for it.
Seeing that the food in the family was getting less and less, Chen Xu and the two women became more and more anxious.
If the eldest son of the former crown prince had not come to help him often, they would have been unable to hold on.
"My sister Yu, why not let's hang it in the tooth shop, and it's cheaper. If the master is still there and there is no such thing happening to my Liu family, this house can be bought at least five or six thousand taels. Now it's 1,600 taels sold at a low price, no one cares about it. If you put it down, I'm afraid the price will be lower."
Chen Jiaorong said with a sad face.
Xu Qiuyu sighed and said, "Sister is the one who makes the decision. I believe someone will buy it. Now, I am afraid that it will not last a few days."
Chen Jiaorong looked at the two figures on the boat in the lake and made a decision, saying, "Forget it, one thousand two hundred taels, if someone buys it, I will buy it."
Then he stood up and said, "My sister Yu, look at them, I'll go to the teeth now."
At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran in through the round door and said, "Master, second wife, that Young Master Liu is here again."
When the two women heard this, they looked at each other and immediately said, "Go and welcome."
Xu Qiuyu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Liu is coming to deliver some things again. Mr. Liu is not sorry to our Liu family. He is also living in a difficult situation now, but he always comes to help us. Alas, if that happened, Mr. Liu is also..."
Chen Jiaorong's face changed and he immediately said, "Sister Yu, don't talk nonsense."
Xu Qiuyu immediately stopped talking.
The two hurriedly left the lake and went to greet them.
At this moment, Liu Zidai, who was picking lotus pods in the lake, pulled a lotus pod too hard, suddenly leaned back and fell into the lake with a "thump".
Liu Zimei, who was only nine years old on the boat, immediately screamed: "Mom! Aunt! Sister has fallen into the water! Sister has fallen into the water!"
While shouting in a crying voice, he hurriedly took the oars from the boat and reached into the water.
But her arms were too short, and the boat was traveling forward for a distance due to inertia. Liu Zidai, who fell into the water, was in panic and did not catch it, and the more she struggled, the further she struggled.
The maid who stayed by the lakeside was shocked when she saw this scene and hurriedly ran to report the news.
"Madam! Second Madam! Not good! Not good! The eldest lady fell into the lake!"
Two women, Chen and Xu, were greeting Liu Bingyi and Wei Yan. Before they could say a few words, they heard the maid's anxious shouts.
The two women's faces changed drastically and they hurriedly ran towards the Lotus Lake.
When Wei Yan heard this, he followed Liu Bingyi and his sister.
When they arrived by the lake, Liu Zimei was left with the crying sound of frightened. Liu Zidai who fell into it had long disappeared.
Chen's feet became soft and he almost fainted.
Xu hurried to the lake, jumped onto another small boat, picked up the oars, and wanted to row for rescue, but was in panic and didn't know how to row, the small boat was spinning by the lake.
"Plop!"
At this moment, waves splashed, and a figure suddenly jumped into the lake and swam quickly towards the lotus group in the middle.
"Brother Yan!"
Liu Jieyou chased him to the lake with an anxious face.
Liu Bingyi immediately jumped onto the small boat, snatched the oars from Xu's hand, and rowed quickly.
But he had never rowed the boat, and although the boat stopped turning and moved forward, it was extremely slow.
At this time, Wei Yan swam quickly into the lotus group like a fish, and shouted to the girl on the boat: "Where did you fall into the water?"
Liu Zimei cried and pointed to a place and said, "There, there!"
Wei Yan immediately swam to that place and sank into the water.
I searched for a while but couldn't find it.
He floated out of the water, looked at the traces of the boat, swam forward for a distance, and immediately sank.
This time, he finally saw a figure wearing a white dress.
At this time, the figure drifted away, hovering suddenly, and was no longer moving.
Wei Yan's heart sank, and he swam over and hurriedly hugged her from behind, and quickly floated up.
At this time, Liu Bingyi and Xu were still rowing their oars desperately. Seeing that he had sunk into the water for a long time and had not gotten up, their faces were extremely ugly.
Liu Jieyou on the shore cried and shouted, "Brother Yan! Brother Yan!"
Liu Wuyou's face was also pale.
Liu Zimei on the boat was crying so hard that she almost fell into the water.
"Wow!"
At this moment, Wei Yan finally got up.
He hugged Liu Zidai, swam backwards, and swam quickly towards Liu Zimei's out-of-control boat.
"Sister! Sister! Wow—"
Liu Zimei on the boat saw Liu Zidai closing her eyes and not moving, and she burst into tears.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jiaorong on the shore fainted and fainted.
"Zi Dai! Zi Dai!"
Xu also cried sadly on the other boat.
Wei Yan swam to the side of the boat with Liu Zidai in his arms, grabbed her hair, climbed onto the boat first, and then dragged her up.
"Sit down, don't cry!"
Wei Yan said seriously to the little girl, immediately picked up the oars, took them to the shore, and quickly passed Liu Bingyi's boat.
Liu Bingyi was anxious and was unable to turn around.
Xu was crying on the boat, and didn't know how to help.
Wei Yan ignored them and quickly rowed the boat to the shore. With the help of Liu Wuyou and Liu Jieyou, he carried Liu Zidai sisters on.
At this time, Chen Jiaorong, who had fallen into a coma, woke up again. When he saw his daughter's body, he immediately cried and cried, heartbroken.
Wei Yan put the girl's body in place, immediately took off the clothes on her collar, and then pinched her mouth to see if there were any foreign objects inside.
After confirming that there were no foreign objects, he placed his hand on the girl's heart again. Seeing that the girl had no heartbeat, he immediately stacked his hands and pressed them.
When the Liu Jieyou sisters next to her were all stunned when they saw this.
The crawling Chen Jiaorong cried and cursed: "Dengtu! Let go of my daughter!"
Wei Yan immediately looked up and said to Liu Jieyou's sisters, "Stop her and don't let her come!"
Liu Wuyou was stunned, opened her mouth, but she wanted to speak but stopped, but stood there without moving.
Liu Jieyou stopped Chen Jiaorong without hesitation and shouted: "Brother Yan is saving your daughter, you can't go there!"
She did not doubt Wei Yan's motives like everyone else.
Although she also felt that Brother Yan's behavior was a bit too much and absurd, she knew that Brother Yan was definitely not that kind of person.
Then there is only one possibility, Brother Yan must be saving people.
