Chapter 308 Life and death are determined by fate

Compared with the Chen family's ten-carriage trip, Xie Zhan and Chen Baozhu only arranged for two carriages to travel, which can be said to be light and simple.

It can be said that not long after Chen Jiaye and his party arrived at the foot of Puxian Temple, Xie Zhan, Chen Baozhu and the others also arrived.

"Baozhu, the rain is too heavy. Let's rest at the foot of the mountain first and wait until the rain subsides a little before going up." Xie Zhan suggested.

Chen Baozhu looked at the rain and knew that it was really difficult to go up the mountain at this time, so he nodded.

Chen Yu and Chen Jin were on guard and were surprised to see Xie Zhan and Chen Baozhu here.

"Why are you here?" Chen Jin looked at Xie Zhan suspiciously.

Before Xie Zhan could say anything, Chen Baozhu started to choke, "What's that look in your eyes? Can't we come here? I haven't asked you yet, what are you and your eldest brother doing here?"

Chen Jin choked at Chen Baozhu's words and his face turned red.

"Baozhu!" Xie Zhan called her disapprovingly. After Chen Baozhu shut up, he turned to the Chen brothers, "Baozhu wanted to come to Puxian Temple to burn incense and fulfill her vows, so I accompanied her. I didn't expect to meet my elder brother and younger brother here. ”

Chen Yu signaled Chen Jin not to talk nonsense, and said in a deep voice, "We have important matters here. We will talk to you in detail when we get back."

Xie Zhan nodded.

Chen Baozhu was a little dissatisfied.

Xie Zhan looked at it, pointed to the outermost room and said, "Brother, Baozhu and I will go to the outermost room and let her change her clothes and shoes. When the rain stops, we will go up the mountain. If you If you need anything here, you can tell me."

Chen Yu nodded, "Okay, you go and change out of your wet clothes first."

"Brother, do you want to tell our father the news that Xie Zhan and Baozhu are here?" Chen Jin asked.

Chen Yu thought for a while and shook his head, "It's better to say goodbye." The first task now is to capture Mr. Xue. He vaguely heard his wife mention it once or twice before that Baozhu wanted to come to Puxian Temple to fulfill his wish, but he didn't expect them to come in the rain.

"But send someone to keep an eye on them."

…

Chen Hai and Chen Cheng are members of the Chen clan, and they are guarding an exit.

At this moment, two figures came towards them. Because of the heavy rain and the fact that they were wearing raincoats, they couldn't see clearly.

"Who?" Chen Hai and Chen Cheng shouted.

"One of our own!"

As they got closer, Chen Hai and Chen Cheng realized that two companions, Yang Jie and Hu Jun, were coming carrying a basket covered with oilcloth.

At that moment, the two of them relaxed their vigilance, "It's you."

Yang Jie replied, "Of course it's us. Otherwise, who do you think would come up with such a heavy rain?"

Hu Jun also said, "I didn't expect you guys to be quite responsible."

"Hey, there's nothing we can do, it's the same for everyone. By the way, what delicious food did you bring?"

"The things in the basket belong to both of us, so don't worry about it. The eldest son asked us to take over for you two. You go and change into dry clothes first. Wouldn't you like to eat and say hello? We can just guard here."

"Okay, then I'll leave this place to you."

Chen Hai and Chen Cheng chatted while walking back.

Chen Hai: "Chen Cheng, Yang Jie, Hu Jun and the others are coming together?"

Chen Cheng: "Too many people came out today, so I can't remember them all. But I think there should be some, right? Otherwise, where did they come from?"

Bang! The two people who were talking did not pay attention to what was behind them. They were attacked from behind and fell down immediately. Immediately afterwards, he was dragged to a secret place on the side and hid.

…

Not long after Xie Zhan and Chen Baozhu entered the house, another carriage drove into the main street.

Both of them heard the noise in the house. Chen Baozhu wondered why anyone was coming? She thought that on this rainy day, there were very few people who were as persistent as her in offering incense.

"I'll go out and take a look."

After Xie Zhan went out, he didn't come in for a while.

Inside, Chen Baozhu changed out of her clothes and shoes that were wet by the rain, and also wiped the wet ends of her hair. But she noticed that her husband was outside and seemed to be talking to someone, but because of the interference of the rain, she couldn't hear clearly.

Outside the house, the groom driving Lu Xihua's carriage had been following the eldest lady Lu Fei's carriage at a short distance. When he saw the eldest lady's carriage stopping, he also stopped.

Lu Xihua squinted and looked at a man and a woman chatting happily under the eaves through a curtain of rain. He recognized the man's identity as Xie Zhan, the son-in-law of the Chen family.

Lu Xihua's eyesight was very good, and he could see Lu Fei's charming smile from a long distance away.

Lu Xihua secretly said, this bitch actually fell in love with a married man? Going out for a private meeting on a rainy day?

But the two people in Lu Xihua's imagination who were flirting looked like this:

"Is Lu Xihua still following you?" Lu Fei asked nervously.

Xie Zhan: "No, he didn't follow, but he should be able to see our side."

"Will he do it?"

"Yes." Xie Zhan continued, "Come on, it's raining heavily, I'll take you to the room next to you."

From Lu Xihua's perspective, he saw Xie Zhan and Lu Fei holding an umbrella together, gradually moving to the left, and finally disappearing from his sight. They had obviously entered the house.

The groom asked, "Master, are we still following?"

Lu Xihua's eyes sparkled, "Follow me and catch this pair of bastards!" Catch the adulterer! The traitor must be caught! He wants her to be embarrassed in front of her father. How will she have the nerve to find fault with him in the future?

The confidant boy dissuaded him, "Wait a minute, eldest son, as the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you will get the stolen goods, and if you catch an adulterer, you will get both. Besides, it is still early, so nothing should happen to them. If we rush in now, we will only alert the snake, so why not start here? Send someone to guard, and then you go home and invite the master."

"In this way, in the end, regardless of whether the eldest lady is sleeping with Xie Zhan or not, as long as her affair with a married man is exposed, the master will be furious."

Lu Xihua thought for a while and felt that what his confidant said made sense. Just how to ensure that they won't leave during the time when he goes back to invite people?

His trouble was quickly solved by his confidant.

"Young Master, only slaves know this street at the foot of Puxian Temple. It has gates on the street and at the end of the street. Can't we just lock the gate and catch the rapist?"

Lu Xihua calculated and found that this place is not very far from the Lu Mansion. It takes more than half an hour to go back and forth, or at most an hour, which is enough. And during this time, they may not necessarily find that the outside is locked.

"That's it!"

So Lu Xihua took out the iron lock that locked the carriage.

Locking the main street gate went smoothly.

When he locked the gate at the end of Main Street, he was discovered after he had completely locked it.

The other party shouted, "What are you doing?!"

"Lu Xihua, is that you?!"

middle section of main street

Brothers Chen Jiaye and Chen Jiayu packed up clean clothes and shoes, dried their hair, drank a cup of hot tea, and came to the door next door.

“Mr.

Chen Jiaye and others did not notice that it was in the middle of the main street, their blind spot. As loud shouts were heard at the end of the street, a puff of smoke slowly rose, and there was also a red cloth fluttering in the wind.

The movement at the end of the street caught the attention of Chen Jiaye and others, "What happened?"

Rumble--Rumble--

There was a roar.

Everyone followed the sound and turned pale with shock.

"No, it's a flash flood! Run!"

The speaker's voice was trembling and his expression was frightened.

Xie Zhan reacted the fastest. He immediately dragged Chen Baozhu towards the mountain behind the house, and at the same time shouted to Lu Fei, "Run!"

Lu Fei followed him with his head down.

Xie Zhan left from the exit guarded by Yang Jie and Hu Jun. This was the closest to them and the most spacious exit besides the two gates on the main street. After his people came out, they seemed to have touched something inadvertently. A piece of wood rolled down from the side, completely blocking the exit.

On the mountain not far away, a group of people retreated to a safe place where the flash flood could not reach them.

Xie Wei leaned against a pine tree and looked at the ground at the foot of the mountain with great interest, which was washed away by flash floods. This was the result of several days of labor with his people.

The soldier asked Xie Wei, "Major General, do we want to go down and rescue people?" The clan leader was still down there, and he didn't know if he could escape this disaster safely.

Xie Wei stretched his body and said, "I won't go."

He did what Xie Zhan asked him to do, but he didn't let himself save him again.

Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. If Xie Zhan dies, let’s talk about it.
