Chapter 78 He is still my brother-in-law!
"Due to drinking, I slept a little deeply. I could only hear an argument in the west room in a daze. I didn't pay attention to it at first. After all, this kind of thing happened every day before. Just when I was about to fall asleep, there was a sound. The scream woke me up."
Xie Yuan paused and looked at the people and said: "I rushed to the west room. My aunt had been chopped down to the ground by Brother Mao. My uncle and Brother Mao were arguing. I stepped forward to help and was accidentally chopped by Brother Mao. My uncle saw that I was hurt. When I was injured, I was asked to go out and call for help.
I ran to Uncle Bao's house, woke up Uncle Bao and Grandpa Fourth, and when I returned home, the west room was already on fire. Everyone knew what happened next. "
Xie Bao looked at several clan elders and added: "My father and I came to Sha Mao's house, and Xiao Yuan, who had returned home before us, rushed into the sea of fire.
He just ran a few steps outside with Xie Heng on his back. Sha Mao caught up with him, grabbed Xie Heng tightly, and dragged him back. My father and I saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so we rescued Xiao Yuan first. By the time we try to go into the flames to save others, it will be too late. "
Several tribesmen knew the whole story and comforted Xie Yuan before leaving.
Xie Yuan personally saw off a few people, turned around and looked at the old patriarch and said: "Grandpa Third, my uncle would like you to help me take a look at this for a while. I have to go back to the county and arrange things there before I go back. "
"Okay, just go, we are here!"
"Thank you, Third Grandpa!"
Xie Yuan came to Huzi's house and took the horse. The moment he walked out of the village, he breathed out gently. He felt as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart. For the first time in these years, he was as relaxed and happy as now.
When Xie Yuan returned to the county, he went home first to wash up and change his clothes. Then he packed a few clean clothes and went to the private school with a small baggage on his back. After briefly explaining the situation to Master Yu, he came to Class A General Jiang Minghong, who was in class, called out.
Jiang Minghong was a little surprised when he saw Xie Yuan. After not seeing him for a day, he looked much haggard and pale, and he smelled of medicine.
"Are you injured?" Jiang Minghong asked.
"A little injury is okay!"
Xie Yuan took out the key and handed it to Jiang Minghong and said, "I won't be at home for the next few days. If you want to read a book, just find it yourself. You can tell me where my fiancée is."
"But what happened?"
Jiang Minghong put away the key and added: "Sister, seeing that you were not here yesterday, started to have random thoughts, so you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my sister when I go back in the afternoon."
Xie Yuan originally didn't plan to tell Jiang Minghong about his uncle and aunt, but when he thought about Jiang Mingyue, he changed his mind.
"Go back to the village to attend the funeral."
He paused and said, "You know I have an uncle and an aunt."
Jiang Minghong said 'hmm'.
"They lost their lives in the fire last night."
Jiang Minghong was suddenly shocked. No wonder he looked so haggard.
"Your...condolences!"
Xie Yuan nodded and said: "I'm leaving!"
Jiang Minghong didn't return to school until Xie Yuan was no longer visible.
Shen Yu glanced at his absent-minded partner and poked him gently to indicate that he was paying attention to the lecture.
Jiang Minghong came back to his senses, gathered his thoughts and listened attentively.
When the bell rang for get out of class and the master left, Li An and the others immediately surrounded Jiang Minghong.
"Xiao Hong, what happened when Master Xie asked you to go out alone just now?"
"It seems to us that you and Master Xie have a very close relationship."
…………
Jiang Minghong waited until everyone calmed down before saying, "Fuzi Xie and I are neighbors. He just called me out to give me the key."
"Key? What key?" Fang Han asked curiously.
"Thank you for the key to Master's home. Something happened to his family. He has to go back to the village for a few days. He asked me to help him take care of the courtyard."
"Oh, doesn't that mean you have been to Xie Fuzi's house?"
"What's Master Xie's family like?"
…………
Seeing everyone asking endless questions, Shen Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I want to eat."
Although his voice was not high, Li An and the others heard it, and belatedly discovered that they had occupied Jiang Minghong for a long time.
After Jiang Minghong and other classmates left, he took the food box from Yu Gen, gave half of the cold noodles to Shen Yu and said, "Thank you!"
"polite!"
While Shen Yu was eating noodles, she suddenly heard Jiang Minghong say: "Actually, Master Xie and I are more than just neighbors."
Shen Yu swallowed the noodles in his mouth and turned to look at the person next to him.
Jiang Minghong smiled at him and whispered: "He is still my brother-in-law!"
Shen Yu's pupils shrank suddenly. He thought of many possibilities but did not think of this one. His sister and Mr. Xie?
"Surprised, aren't you?" Jiang Minghong looked at him and asked.
Shen Yu nodded; "I'm quite surprised."
Jiang Minghong: "I was shocked when I found out, as if I was dreaming."
A smile appeared on Shen Yu's cold face, and the two started chatting.
In Youshi, the first thing Jiang Mingyue did when she returned to Zaolin Hutong was to look at Xie's house. Looking at the locked door, she couldn't help but frown. It had been two days! She felt uneasy for some reason.
Jiang Mingyue returned home, handed the cloth she brought back to Pomegranate, and carried a pot of water into the study.
Looking at the man who was writing the article seriously, she finally resisted and did not disturb him. She put down the teapot gently and took two steps outside when she heard her brother say: "Mr. Xie came to the private school at noon."
Jiang Mingyue's eyes instantly brightened a little, and she turned to look at her brother.
"He came to ask for leave."
Jiang Minghong told his sister what happened.
How could something like this happen? Jiang Mingyue was a little worried about Xie Yuan. He didn't have many relatives to begin with, and now he has lost his uncle, aunt, and cousin. He must be very sad now! Thinking of this, she looked at her brother and said, "I want to see Brother Xie tomorrow."
Jiang Minghong seemed to have expected that his sister would say this.
"I have asked Master Yu for a day's leave and will stay with you tomorrow."
Jiang Mingyue heard this and held her brother's hand.
"Brother, you are so kind!"
After the two siblings had breakfast the next day, Jiang Mingyue went to Jinxiufang to ask for leave. Jiang Minghong took Yu Gen to rent a carriage, buy paper money, etc.
A quarter of an hour later, the two siblings took Yu Gen and Shiliu out of the city.
Only Jiang Minghong among the four could drive, so the task of driving fell to him. Yu Gen sat next to him and learned how to drive.
It was a bit stuffy inside the carriage, so Jiang Mingyue simply opened the curtain and asked, "Brother, do you know how to get to Xiejia Village?"
"When renting a carriage, I asked passers-by and I knew a general direction. Xiejia Village is not far from the county seat. We can always get there if we ask as we walk."
Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm' and sat obediently in the carriage. It was the first time Pomegranate left the county town. She was very curious about her surroundings and looked out from time to time.
Along the way, they asked for directions as they walked, adjusting their direction from time to time. At Sishichu, the four of them finally arrived at Xiejia Village.
