Mu Ze just put down all the paper money, and then Yuan Jinyu said: "I think that the Qingming Festival is coming, so I want to burn some paper money and pay tribute to those dead women." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Prince Ping also expressed his understanding, after all, they were dead in a foreign land, and if they didn't even have the heat to burn paper, it would be pitiful.

Yuan Jinyu also said: "After we settle down in Dongcheng, I will ask the other women if they know the origin of those women, and then try to inform their families." Even if you can't find the bones, you have to do a ritual and take the person back. ”

Prince Ping, of course, agreed with their approach, and waited for Yuan Jinyu to finish before asking, "You two have already used Chinese food?"

Mu Ze nodded, although he didn't say anything from Prince Heping, but Prince Ping was very happy to see his attitude soften, or Yuan Jinyu replied: "What about Uncle Ping, have you eaten it?"

"I've eaten, with Hong'er. When Prince Ping said this, he suddenly remembered something, and pointed upstairs: "Hong'er is cleaning your room, you go and see, why hasn't she come down for so long." ”

Mu Ze and Yuan Jinyu glanced at each other, obviously having doubts in their eyes. It is said that Hong'er has never mentioned cleaning their rooms before.

Prince Ping was still talking to himself: "I have already told her before, when I return to Beijing, I will take her into the door, she has always called me master, maybe she also regards you as the master, but you don't want to instruct her in everything, she is already worried." ”

When Yuan Jinyu heard Prince Ping say this, a sense of panic came to her heart, and then before Prince Ping finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Mu Ze: "Brother Jiu, you are here to watch Uncle Ping, I'll go upstairs to have a look!"

Mu Ze knew Yuan Jinyu too well, and as soon as she said this, he guessed how much she was thinking, so he directly grabbed Yuan Jinyu's arm and looked at her firmly: "You stay here, I'll go." ”

Prince Ping is not a stupid person, both of them are like this, which makes one of his hearts lift: "You are ...... What does that mean? Impossible, Hong'er wouldn't be such a thoughtless person. ”

Mu Ze didn't explain anything to Prince Heping, just gave Yuan Jinyu a reassuring look, and ran upstairs.

When he was about to go upstairs, he happened to run past the room next to Prince Ping, Dou Ko also saw Mu Ze's hurried appearance, and asked Yelan beside him a little suspiciously: "Gongzi ran up just now, did you see it?"

"No, besides, isn't it the room of the son and the lady upstairs, and it's normal for the son to go upstairs, isn't it?" Yelan responded to Dou Ko.

Dou Ko was still not at ease, and was about to go upstairs to take a look, but it was Ding Yan who was tied to the side to stop her: "You don't have to bother anymore, the person must be dead." ”

Ding Yan said this without a head, but Dou Ko's face turned pale instantly, she quickly turned her head and looked, there were many people in the room, who said Ding Yan was dead.

Looking at her puzzled gaze, Ding Yan looked up at the roof again: "Hong'er also went up from here just now, and then she never came down." ”

"Since you saw her go up for so long and didn't come down, why didn't you tell us!" Dou Ko was about to collapse, looking at Ding Yan's mocking face, he also knew that saving people was a top priority, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, so he ran directly towards the door.

If there is any one of these people who has the most affection for Hong'er, it must be these women who survived from the village. Because they have the same experience, no one has to look down on anyone.

Maybe it's because of the same disease, so they are also anxious at this moment.

It was Yelan who stopped them: "If the person is really dead, you go up now, it won't help, it's better to stay here and wait for the news with peace of mind." ”

Mu Ze quickly ran upstairs, stretched out his hand to push the door, and found that the door was stuck inside, he looked solemn, raised his foot, and kicked the door fiercely.

Dou Ko happened to run to the back, and as soon as the door was kicked open, she saw the situation inside, and immediately, she covered her mouth fiercely, and tears also wet her eyes.

Hong'er's thin body was hanging in the room, with a very thick hemp rope around her neck, and a small stool that had been kicked over underneath.

When Mu Ze saw such a scene, his first reaction was to rush into the house and put Hong'er down first.

Hong'er's body was still warm, and she obviously hadn't been hanging for long, but he put his hand on her neck and found that she had completely lost her breath.

For a while, he didn't know how to describe his feelings, if it was to pity Hong'er, I'm afraid it hadn't reached that level.

Originally, he was not open to emotional things, and he was full of enthusiasm, and he gave all of them to Yuan Jinyu, so he couldn't leave anything for others.

But he was definitely uncomfortable in his heart, and he was still a little worried about how to explain to Yuan Jinyu. After all, Yuan Jinyu likes Hong'er very much, and Prince Ping even said just now that when he returns to Beijing, he will accept Hong'er, how should he explain to these two people now?

Dou Ko also ran in, knelt directly beside Hong'er, tears fell one by one, and his eyes were full of repentance: "How can this be...... They all ran out, didn't they...... Why is Sister Hong'er still looking for death......"

She raised her eyes to look at Mu Ze and found that Mu Ze's face was also very bad, so she became a little scared: "Brother-in-law, it's all my fault, I didn't notice, Hong'er went upstairs......"

This has nothing to do with Dou Ko, Mu Ze can't blame Dou Ko, if there is anything wrong, he and Jinyu are also at fault.

If they had come back earlier, Hong'er would not have committed suicide.

The death of the hanged person is very terrifying, Mu Ze is used to seeing dead people, of course he will not be afraid, but he still hopes that Hong'er can go peacefully.

So he straightened Hong'er's face, and when he was about to inform Prince Yuan Jinyu and Peace, he found that these two people were already standing at the door.

He looked up, and sure enough, he saw his little wife, whose face was full of grief.

Slowly placing Hong'er's body on the ground, he shook his head slightly at Yuan Jinyu, indicating that Hong'er could not be saved.

Prince Ping was still on crutches in his hands, but as soon as he saw Hong'er's body, his crutches fell to the ground with a "snap", and then he pushed Yuan Jinyu away and staggered to this side.

In fact, even if he was injured, it was not that he couldn't walk, but when he saw Hong'er's corpse, he subconsciously had weak legs, and sure enough, before Hong'er could get in front of him, he fell directly to the ground.

Dou Ko cried and cried, giving up the place beside Hong'er to Prince Ping, and then she also slowly retreated to Yuan Jinyu's side.

Yuan Jinyu had already buried his face in Mu Ze's chest at this moment. In fact, she doesn't understand why these girls always want to die one after another, how difficult it is to be alive, why they can't see it.

Mu Ze looked at Yuan Jinyu and knew what she was thinking, so he could only pat her back with his hand and comfort softly: "People can't be resurrected after death, Jinyu, don't be too sad." After saying that, he added: "It's not your fault or mine." ”

Yuan Jinyu's tears directly stained Mu Ze's clothes, and he listened to her somewhat broken voice: "How could it not be our fault...... If we could have paid more attention to her, maybe she wouldn't be like this......"

Mu Ze didn't know how to comfort Yuan Jinyu, she was clearly getting into the horns.

But at this moment, he was very glad that Yuan Jinyu was different from them. These girls may have been taught by their families from an early age that chastity is the most important thing, and if they are ruined, then they should not live.

This will not be the case with his own brocade. Whether it was from the beginning of their acquaintance, or now, he knows that Jinyu is working very hard to live for herself.

No matter what kind of predicament she encounters, no matter what kind of insult she encounters, no matter how many people want to kill her, she will use her actions to prove that she can live well and be better than all of them.

So Mu Ze didn't have to tell her anymore, because Jinyu would definitely cherish her life, even if something happened to separate the two of them, she would definitely wait until she found her.

Hugging her tightly, Mu Ze felt that her body had also become a little cold, and he hoped that he could use his body temperature to warm Yuan Jinyu a little.

Just when everyone was blaming themselves, Prince Ping slowly picked up Hong'er's body. Now she is even more docile than before, leaning on Prince Ping's arms like this, and if you ignore the already purple strangulation marks on her neck, it is as if she is asleep.

Prince Ping's voice was extremely hoarse and depressed, his eyes were already red, and his hands were trembling, he carefully looked at Hong'er's eyebrows and eyes, and then said with remorse: "It has nothing to do with you, she was killed by me." ”

If she had told Hong'er at the beginning to let her stay by her side and take her away, maybe she wouldn't have gone to death.

Later, when they walked out of that mountain range, so many people had died, and Prince Ping took it for granted that Hong'er would not have any more suicidal thoughts. After all, she is now out of the sea of suffering, she can speak, and she will be very good to her in the future, is there anything she is not satisfied with?

Now that Prince Ping saw her corpse, he understood that she was not not content, but too content.

Perhaps from the day when she followed them all the way to the cave, Hong'er was determined to die, and she could speak again and get her own pity, but it only accelerated her into the abyss.

From the very beginning, she had low self-esteem, and felt that she had been trapped for so long and no longer deserved anyone's pity. If he brings her back to the capital, even if there are no other concubines in the family, her identity and experience will one day be known by others.

She committed suicide because she was afraid of losing face.
