Chapter 448 Recalling Yingchuan

Seeing Qin Su's solemn voice, Zhou Yu's complexion changed, and she asked a little uneasily, "What do you mean, girl?"

"The matter of the He family may affect the Qin family." Qin Su said briefly and without any fluctuation on his face.

Zhou Yu is one of her most important helpers in the Qin family, and Qin Su doesn't intend to hide some things from her.

"How is this possible..." Zhou Yu lost her voice, she lost her composure and looked around subconsciously.

Qin Su still had a calm face, but her voice was very dignified: "You should know what I can do. I'm not joking with you. This matter is very important."

Zhou Yu was obviously taken aback. She stared blankly at Qin Su for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "The Qin family was implicated by the He family, could it be because of the left lieutenant?"

It was natural for her to think of Zuo Sikuang, after all, the He and Zuo families had always had a good relationship.

"I don't know." Qin Su told the truth.She really didn't know if the Qin family was implicated by the He family, whether Zuo Sikuang played a role in this.

The more Qin Su thought about Zuo Sikuang, the more unfathomable he felt.

After pausing for a while, and giving Zhou Yu some time to clear her mind, Qin Su continued: "Although I don't know whether this matter has anything to do with my uncle, I do know that the Qin family is burdened by the He family, and there are also internal problems within the Qin family. It's a huge problem. And the internal problems of the Qin family may be the key to solving everything. Therefore, I want to know the old affairs of Yingchuan."

Zhou Yu stared at Qin Su blankly.

Judging from her expression at the moment, Qin Su can basically conclude that what happened in Yingchuan back then was by no means simple.

"I've already told you everything I know, and I hope that you can tell me the truth so that I can solve this mystery." Qin Su said sincerely, with an extraordinarily solemn tone.

Zhou Yu stared at her for a while, then suddenly sighed.

With this long sigh, the attitude of rejection and avoidance that enveloped her just now relaxed.

"That's all, that's all." She seemed to shake her head helplessly, her tone full of disappointment, "Since the girl asked me, I think the girl herself should have some clues, and now she is asking me, she should want to get something from me. Just to prove something, right?"

Regarding what Zhou Yu said, Qin Su didn't say yes or no, just smiled lightly.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't need her answer either.

Qin Su's few words seemed to suddenly open the floodgate of her memory. After those words, Zhou Yu's face already had a look of nostalgia, and those slightly cloudy eyes looked at the blue sky outside the window, It seems to be infinitely lost.

Qin Su didn't bother her, but rested her hands on her shoulders, and waited intently for her to continue talking.

After a while, Zhou Yu finally withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Qin Su, and said in a low voice: "I don't know much about what happened after the flood in Yingchuan. I will tell the girl everything I know. Well, it’s just a few words anyway.”

"Thank you for telling me." Qin Su said softly, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, and said, "Sit down and talk."

After Zhou Yu confessed her crime, she sat beside Qin Su.

For a while, neither of them spoke, only heard the sound of Cheng Cong's water flowing slowly from their sides.

"When Yingchuan flooded, it was still in the reign of Dachen Yongping. The first emperor was still in power. Yingchuan was still under the rule of Dachen and was never occupied by Zhao Guo. At that time, the country of Chen was also the country where the country was prosperous and the people were safe, and the former emperor ruled the country. You Fang, what a good day." Zhou Yu's low and old voice melted into the sound of the water, barely audible, but every word entered Qin Su's ears.

"Speaking of which, the girl may not know that my hometown is actually in Jiangyang County. It was just that during the time of Emperor Gaozu, the Three Kingdoms fought fiercely. There was a banditry here in Jiangyang County, and there was chaos everywhere. I followed my family. Fleeing all the way, I was separated from my family in the end, and I was stranded in Yingchuan alone, and I was bought by Mrs. Tai to be a maid, so I have settled down." Zhou Yu's voice came slowly, seeming to contain infinite desolation : "At that time, the Qin family had a great reputation in Yingchuan, with nearly a thousand members, and the prefecture of the Qin family in Yingchuan was also ranked high in the entire Dachen."

She seemed to be remembering the glory of the year, her eyes flushed slightly, and immediately pressed down with a cloth towel, she continued in a low voice: "Who would have thought that within a few years of this good life, there would be floods in Yingchuan. I won’t say much about the situation during the flood, and I can’t describe it in just one word. After the flood, the people of Yingchuan traveled seven stops out of ten miles. Fortunately, I survived and protected the sun. Madam, together with the old Lord Tailang and the patriarchs of the Qin family, all gathered in a ruined temple near the Qin family's ancestral house. The ruined temple was on a higher ground and was not destroyed by the flood. At that time, the remaining There are still two hundred people in the clan."

She sighed, turned her head to look at Qingxi next to her, and her voice became more and more sad: "After that, everyone will look for food together. If you want to survive, you must first solve the food for two hundred people. At that time, the granary All the food in the village was washed away by the flood, so we servants went to search for food every day, and those young and strong men also ran around every day. When it's the turn of the offshoot and Xiaozong's lord or the concubine's lord, the girls and wives are ranked third, the strong men are ranked fourth, and we maidservants are last. The old patriarch's rules are extremely strict. If there is any violation Those who are not allowed to eat for three days. Fortunately, Mrs. Tai treated me very well, and secretly saved some food for me every day, so I didn't starve to death."

At this point, there was a faint smile on Zhou Yu's face, as if she was thinking of the situation when she and Mrs. Tai supported each other, she continued: "If life is like this, the Qin family can survive it. But who would have thought that the epidemic spread suddenly, and within half a month, more than half of the two hundred clansmen died. Fortunately, Mrs. Tai and Lord Tailang and I were not infected with the disease."

When she said these words, Zhou Yu's face was full of unbearable, and she continued to whisper: "It's just that when the epidemic broke out, it was very strange. Originally, there was only one young servant in the Qin family who got sick. Even if it is disposed of, the girl may not know that the old patriarch of Qin's generation is good at medicine. The old man discovered that the young servant's condition was not right, so he moved him out, and burned all the clothes and other things. However, the disease still spread to the masters, and the strangest thing is that all the men who got the disease were men, especially the lords of the direct branch who were the most seriously ill. Then one day, I saw the patriarch with a livid face, A few pieces of dirty clothes were found from the bodies of several princes who died of illness, and it is said that the clothes belonged to the young slave who first got sick."
