Knowing what kind of matchmaker she was, the bride stepped forward to shake her hand as she spoke, and took off a bracelet and stuffed it through her sleeve. He added, "Although the eldest lady is relieved, she really only needs to say a few words." ”

The matchmaker secretly weighed the weight of the bracelet, pursed her lips with a smile and nodded: "That's it, the old body also sympathizes with the little lady's suffering, and will drag it for you for a while." The little lady has to hurry up, and there will be people over there, and at that time, no one will be able to do it here. ”

"Aunt Xie. The bride said another blessing, and took off the pearl and emeralds on her head, "It's a pity that these things go with me, so let's share them with everyone to add a wine money." ”

As he spoke, taking advantage of everyone's "sharing of spoils", he turned around and dragged the young man aside to speak.

The young man is grateful and stands up for each other, and the bride has her own perception and gratitude. Before getting off the sedan car, he quietly put a bag of fine soft into his baggage.

At this time, he avoided people to speak, so he reminded: "Little brother, my sister knows that you must have encountered something difficult and followed us all the way. However, you and I have different paths, and we must end up parting. I put some silver in your baggage, and it is a gift for your journey, so don't let anyone know about it......"

The young man didn't have time to care about anything else, glanced around, and asked, "Sister, I saw that they didn't have a good heart, and brought you here to get off the sedan chair, what are you going to do?"

The bride smiled sadly and looked at the rolling river: "Don't blame them, my sister has arrived at her mother-in-law's house." ”

The young man followed her gaze to look at the turbulent water, realized, and said urgently: "Sister!"

The bride didn't want him to delay any longer, and interrupted: "Don't worry about me, everyone has their own life, and I am also seeking kindness." Take advantage of this moment when no one is paying attention to you, hurry up and take your luggage and go on your own journey!"

"Sister, I don't want your money. ”

"That silver is no better than jewelry, as long as you leave here, no one will pursue it......"

"Sister, I'm not worried about this ......"

"Then you will be obedient and leave quickly, and if you don't leave, you will be dragged down by me. ”

While the two were talking, two other teams of men and horses appeared from east and west, and were gradually approaching the embankment.

On one side, the guards opened the way, surrounded by high-level minions in front of the nobles, and they came with a beam. From a long distance, he shouted to this side: "Little lady, the master asked if you have figured it out? If you figure it out, there is still room for things to turn around!"

"Oh, here comes the one who sent me on my way. The bride knew that the amulet had arrived, so she sneered secretly, and then shook her face and pushed the boy away, "Hurry up! What good is it with my mushrooms? I have no money left, and there is nothing to calculate!"

The boy's gaze fell on the other team.

Soapy clothes and soap boots, wearing a tapered hat, a saber and a stick, and a complement inlaid with black letters on a white background on his chest. From a distance, you can see that they are some government officials.

When he saw the servant, how could he still be in the mood to argue with the bride? He pulled her backhand and dragged her into the sedan chair.

"Sister, quickly take off your wedding dress and give it to me. ”

The bride didn't think he would be profane, but she wondered, "What are you going to do?"

Seeing that she didn't know, the young man didn't want to cooperate, so he took off the top hat and put it on her, and while hurriedly untying his clothes, he said: "Don't hide it from my sister, I was involved in the murder case, and now that the officials are looking for it, I can't escape anymore." ”

The woman was taken aback.

"Sister, don't be afraid, I didn't kill anyone, but ......" the young man sighed and said, "It's a dead end for me to be caught, so it's better to change things with my sister." My sister changed my clothes and went to run for her life, but she was bumped into by someone, and with your woman's body, she couldn't be involved. I went to the river for my sister, so that I could bluff those wicked people and escape by borrowing water. ”

This is a cheap expedient for hatchbacks.

The woman wavered when she heard this.

However, when he thought of the surging water, he felt that it was inappropriate, and rebuked: "If it is an unjust case, you should make it clear to them, so why take risks? The river is turbulent, don't say whether you can water or not, even if you know how to water, it will inevitably be an accident." I can't help it!"

"I was born in the countryside since I was a child, how can I not know how to drink water?" the young man smiled, "that is, the water is turbulent, and there is still a glimmer of life." If someone arrests me and goes back, there is only one way to die. Why doesn't my sister want to think about it, if the official master is reasonable, I didn't kill anyone, why did he send someone to take me?"

When the woman heard him talk about the official master, she thought that she had met a noble who did not know what to do, and her heart was touched.

Seeing that her face was relaxed, the young man urged: "Sister, now this is the only way to ensure that you and I are both safe at the same time, if you hesitate again, then you can only go to Huangquan to meet again." ”

The woman pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, took off her wedding dress with him, and changed into his gray cloth shirt.

"Where's the hijab?" the boy searched for it, and found the hepa to cover it.

The two were originally similar in height, but the wedding dress was cut widely, and there were cumbersome ornaments such as xia veils to cover it, so it was easy not to show their figures. As long as I lifted my sleeve slightly to block my chest, I really couldn't see any difference.

The young man changed his costume and told the woman, "Sister, when I lead people to the water's edge, you will take the opportunity to come out." Then he ran all the way to the reeds, went in to avoid making a sound, and waited for everyone to go away. ”

When I was about to get out of the sedan door, I thought of a section but paused, "If my sister really gets out, it's best not to find any relatives and friends, and go find a place where no one knows to settle down." ”

After speaking, he stepped out of the sedan door, followed the woman's previous appearance, walked with his body in a posture, and walked towards the water's edge.

When the matchmaker heard the shouting, she watched the bride in prison, so she went to the noble's minions to flatter.

Seeing the generosity and righteousness of the "bride", she pretended to wipe her tears and persuaded her: "Little lady, since the nobleman intends to loosen his mouth, why don't you weigh it again......?"

Hearing this, the "bride" raised her arms to stop her chatter and others from following, and walked step by step to the edge of the embankment, paused for a moment to inhale, and then jumped like a red leaf and threw herself into the rolling river.

When the crowd saw this, they immediately swarmed up and looked down.

The eagle dog of the noble family also deliberately inspected the dirt slope under the embankment, and saw that there was nothing to hide, and then saw the water waves rolling out a red and bloody Xipa, snorted coldly, and turned around and went down the embankment.

When the official came, he made some inquiries and negotiations and did not go into detail, and later, everyone went by himself.

The boy had disappeared with the flowing water, and as for the real bride, he had already taken the opportunity to hide in the reeds when the boy had attracted everyone's attention as he stepped on the waterfront.

Then he heard the footsteps coming and going, and gradually moved away, knowing that the young man had thrown himself into the water, and clutched his chest for a while.

Endured until it was dark, climbed out of the reeds, stood blankly on the shore as the surging river for a moment, wiped his tears, turned around, staggered to find another way to live.
