Chapter 068: Confused
Mulan has been acting for a long time, and if she wants to go back to Shouzhen Island to pick up people, she can't do it alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There should be at least two boats, more than three people.
She is good at water, but she can't drive a boat. She is a small person with little strength, and even from the day she came to land, she has been practicing since the day she came to land, and she can't keep up with the skills of any fisherman in the fishing village. To be on the safe side, she had to find an experienced handlebar to go in with her.
One boat went to Shouzhen Island to pick up people, and the other waited outside the whirlpool. In this way, once something happens, there are people who will respond to it and find and solve the problem in time.
Sooner or later, her identity and origin could not be hidden, so she told the truth to Wangcai and Yuncui as much as possible.
talked about why she grew up on Shouzhen Island, said about the amiable and respectable people on the island, and also said how she left Shouzhen Island, and how she was picked up by Da Chun on the boat. only concealed the identity of the third young lady of the Yang family's Jieguo Mansion, and only mentioned that it was a big family.
It's not that she can't trust Wangcai and Yuncui, with the character of the two of them, no matter what they hear, they will be tight-lipped. Besides, Xie Guogong has been rehabilitated, and she is not in danger of being caught as a "remnant" and beheaded.
She didn't say it because there was no need for that, it didn't matter to her whether it was the seed of the Xie family or a veritable adulterous daughter. She doesn't care if the Mansion of Jieguo has declined or if the glory has returned.
She never thought that she had anything to do with the Jieguo Mansion, she was her, why should she put someone else's surname in front of the word "Mulan"?
Wangcai had already guessed that Mulan's identity was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be such an unusual method, and he looked at her for a long time and couldn't speak.
Yun Cui was even more shocked that her face turned white, as a woman, she was taught by her mother to abide by women's morality when she was a child. As a negative teaching material, I don't know how many stories I have heard about women who do not abide by women's morals and are exiled to Shou Zhen Island.
In her mind, Shouzhen Island should be an eerie and terrifying existence, like purgatory on earth. I never thought that that kind of place would be inhabited by people as flesh and blood as her. I didn't expect that one day I would sit face to face with someone from Shouzhen Island.
The surprise subsided slightly, and he remembered that his sister, who had married into a neighboring county, had said that there was a woman there who called her husband's cousin who had spoiled her, and that her in-laws did not blame the cousin for being inferior to a beast, but accused the woman of not keeping the way of women and sent her to the official ship of exile.
The woman was so great that she drifted on the sea for a few days, and then she caused the waves to wash back to shore. The rescuers did not know that she was called exile, and sent her back as she wished. Who knew that her mother-in-law insisted that she and the well-wisher were adulterers, tied them up, and sent them to the government.
The woman did not die, but became a fugitive, and was rewarded with a mess, and died immediately. The good Samaritan also called An for harboring a fugitive, and he was beaten and sent to prison.
Although Mulan is in a different situation from that woman, after all, she is from Shouzhen Island, if the government knows, can she still save her life?
In a panic, he grabbed Mulan's hand, "Have you said these things to others?"
Mulan shook her head, "No, I only told you." ”
Yun Cui let out a sigh of relief, asked Wangcai to go out to take a look, in case someone broke in and listened, and hurriedly told Mu Lan: "This matter is only known to me and your Uncle Wangcai, but you must not tell anyone else." You can't say a word, remember?"
When she said this, her expression and tone were too serious, which made Mulan have a bad premonition in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Why can't you say it?"
Yun Cui told her what happened to the woman in her sister's town, and repeatedly told her not to tell her.
Only then did Mulan realize that she had been thinking too optimistically about things all along. Even if a criminal who has committed the most heinous crime is sentenced to death, he must be approved by the Criminal Department before he can be beheaded. A woman who escaped death in exile could be killed on the spot when she was sent to the county office, which shows that the oppression of unethical women on land is even more serious than she imagined.
Perhaps the village is an exception, the people in the village are simple and kind, regardless of the identity of her and Chili Po, they are willing to take them in. The parent official is lazy and does not like to take care of things, and will not go to a remote fishing village to track down whether there is a "fugitive".
But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens. What if someone accidentally leaks the news, what if there are people who have such good deeds, they just can't tolerate "immoral women" and have to put them to death?
The iron-clad officialdom, the flowing official, Guo County Ling can't stay in Binxian for the rest of his life. What if he is transferred away and replaced by a nosy county magistrate?
Can she really put aside the lives of her own people close to her, and take the risk of implicating the old and young in the fishing village and take a few pepper women out?
Although there is a lack of clothes and medicine on the island, life is more difficult, but it is better than freedom. Once you get out of there, you have to worry about being revealed, and you will be exposed to speculation and strange stares from others.
Will they really be able to live a good life as she thinks when they return to the land? Speaking of which, she never seemed to seriously ask them if they were willing to leave Shouzhen Island, but only wishful thinking that they would.
Maybe what they want is not to eat and dress well, live a long life, but just want to stay away from the criticism and trampling of the world, and walk peacefully to the end of their lives?
If that's the case, what's the point of her leaving Shouzhen Island in all the hard work?
This is just a hypothesis, but it makes her feel that she has lost her purpose in life in an instant, and the whole person is at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
Yun Cui called "Mulan" a few times in a row, and saw that she was stunned and did not react, but when she called the woman's experience, she was frightened, and hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, your uncle Wangcai and I will keep this secret for your life, and we won't tell it until we die."
If you can't stay in the village, you can stay with us in the future. If you ask, you'll say it's my distant niece. I called my dad to get through the door, and helped you get the identity documents and official road guides, so you don't have to worry about anyone knowing where you came from. ”
Listening to Yun Cui's gentle and soft words of relief, Mulan couldn't help it for a while and burst into tears.
When Yuncui saw her crying, her eyes were red with distress. hurriedly took her into his arms, gently stroked her hair with his hand, and sighed in his mouth: "Poor baby, your life is really bitter!"
Wangcai saw them hugging each other and crying, came back with a basin of water and put it down, and walked out silently.
Mulan is not a child after all, no matter how sad she is, she will not cry, and it is not easy for Yuncui to accompany her to be sad. quickly stopped his tears, and comforted Yuncui in turn, "Aunt Wangcai, I'm fine." Don't cry, beware of the fetal gas. ”
Get up with a wet handkerchief and wipe Yuncui's face. I also wiped it myself, and when my emotions slowly calmed down, I had a final plan in my heart.
Regardless of what they think, whether or not they can be picked up in the end, she has to go back to Shouzhen Island first. If you want to pass through the mist belt safely, you must ask Wangcai for tips on how to discern the direction.
Yes, she still has to talk to Wangcai!
