150 Falling into the river
"Fang Fei, what else do you have to say?" Walking into the grass pavilion, Grandma Song paused and quietly looked at Fang Fei sitting by the water at the edge of the pavilion.
The woman in the courtyard of the deep house sneaked to the ferry alone at night, not to see the scenery!
"There's nothing to say." Fang Fei didn't even look back, leaned on the pillar at the corner of the pavilion, stood up slowly, turned around and looked at Grandma Song calmly, his tone was calm, as if he had expected this moment to come, so he was mentally prepared in advance.
Grandma Song was slightly stunned, on the way here, she had imagined countless excuses that Fang Fei might use to excuse herself, but she didn't expect that she didn't bother to excuse herself at all, but seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of this moment.
"Tie her up for me, go back to open the ancestral hall, and hand it over to the elders of the clan to dispose of." Grandma Song commanded coldly.
Immediately, two family members stepped forward with ropes, and after saying 'offended', they tied up Fang Fei, who was about to be captured, and pushed her back.
At the same time, in the green reeds, a chase battle with a huge disparity in strength is in full swing, Chen Yusheng is in the crowd, and the four princes have the advantage in familiar terrain, the two sides are evenly matched, stalemate, no one can help anyone.
After some clever retreat, the four princes successfully avoided all of Chen Yu's subordinates and appeared in front of Chen Yu alone.
"You are too underestimated against the enemy, what can you do with your own strength?" The injuries on Chen Yu's body have not yet healed, but he will never lose in momentum, with a look of a bamboo in his chest, and the whip in his hand is wrapped around his wrist one by one.
Where the two of them are at the moment. It was the place where Chen Yu and Cheng Qi stood when they talked before, and they could look down on the entire ferry and the movement of the entire reed forest.
"I'm here to talk to you about a deal." The fourth prince glanced in the direction of the ferry, and silently took out a small burden from his arms, which was the one he snatched from Chen Yu a few days ago, "How about exchanging it for Fang Fei's life?" ”
The people of the Zhao family were already escorting Fang Fei back, and the long procession, like a long snake lying on the pontoon, was slowly wriggling. Fang Fei's hands were cut backwards. The upper body was tied with a rope.
Whether it is a big family or a small family, the methods of dealing with the problem of red apricots going out of the wall and elopement are similar, and they will never be spared. Once the ancestral hall was opened. Ten go in. Nine of them will not survive.
Chen Yu squinted slightly at the four princes, and said disdainfully: "This thing was originally mine, and you are just serving the Lord." Where to trade! Besides, how do I know you're not using a fake to fool me? ”
How important this thing is to the four princes, Chen Yu couldn't be clearer, the four princes can even take their lives for it, but now for the sake of a Fang Fei, he is actually willing to take it out? Chen Yu was a little incredulous, he would rather believe that the things in the hands of the fourth prince were fake, than that he would take them out in exchange to save Fang Fei.
The four princes pursed their lips and said nothing, gently untied the slipknot on the top of the burden, and the ancient pineapple wood dark lock brocade box appeared in the palm of the four princes, and the rust on the lock was still there, not like someone had opened it, the lock on the box was a secret lock, except for opening it with a key, the rest of the methods would touch the mechanism in the box, and the box would be destroyed.
Chen Yu was a little caught off guard, and the hand in his sleeve turned around the whip in his hand, as if he was hesitating, whether he should pick up the box handed by the fourth prince.
When the two were at a stalemate, the Zhao family's team was coming down from the pontoon bridge, passing by the high river bank on the bank, and the waves crashed on the shore below, the water was turbulent, splashing high waves.
'Poof'.
Then, there was a commotion in the middle of the Zhao family's team, and many people were lying on the shore, stretching out their hands towards the waves below the shore, and in vain they fished something into the water.
"Mrs. Tai has fallen into the river! Mrs. Tai fell into the river! Someone shouted.
The whole team stopped, and rushed to the back, Grandma Song was startled, and immediately ordered to get off the sedan chair, get out of the sedan chair, and quickly go to the back, and the guards of the Zhao family immediately made a way for Grandma Song to come forward to check.
"What's going on?" The mother-in-law beside Grandma Song escorted Grandma Song forward and asked busily.
"We don't know, we walked well, and suddenly people fell down......," said the Zhao family's nursing home, spreading their hands.
"Why did you fall all of a sudden?" Grandma Song raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "So many people haven't fallen, why did she fall because she was born?" How will I explain to my family when I go back! ”
As the saying goes, it takes a thief to get dirty, and it takes a double to catch a traitor, but now it's only Fang Fei who is holding it, Fang Fei's seniority is higher than Grandma Song, and Grandma Song is not the head of the Zhao family, so she has no right to dispose of her, so she can only be handed over to the elders of the clan for interrogation, and then decide how to deal with it.
Now that the people are gone, it can be said that there is no proof of death, and Grandma Song is to blame!
"Grandma, we really don't know, the little ones didn't pay much attention, it was Mrs. Tai who fell down by herself...... "The few nurses closest to Fang Fei, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to change their words without authorization, and they are sure that they have fallen into the water."
Grandma Song was so angry that she had a headache, and pressed her temples with her hands.
"You bunch of shit! What are you still doing in a daze, hurry down to save people! The mother-in-law beside Grandma Song shouted at a few people.
If it were changed in normal times, there would be salvation if she fell into the water, but now Fang Fei was cut off her hands and tied up with a lot of flowers, not to mention falling in the most turbulent part of the ferry, even if it was the still water bay in front of her, it could kill her!
"Mom, this water is so urgent, people have already washed away...... a nurse looked at the whirlpools one after another on the riverbank, his legs trembled, and he didn't want to go into the water to save people.
"Yes, yes, Mom, you see that the water has only risen for a few days, and now the river is so muddy, it's useless to go down, you can do it well, don't let us go down and die!" Several other nursing homes also pleaded and said nonsense.
Grandma Song's face was pale, she didn't say a word, stared at the river quietly, and after half a sound, she said: "Tell me to go down, no one has seen Mrs. Tai just now, and I inquired from the fisherman." Seeing her jump into the river to find a short view, if anyone dares to leak half a word, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
The people around nodded their heads year by year, and said yes, and the group was a little tidy up before setting off again and returning to the town.
The changes at that time came too quickly, only in the blink of an eye, as soon as Chen Yu turned around, he saw the Zhao family's nursing home fall down. They all lay on the shore. Stretching out his hand, as if he was fishing for something from the water, the Zhao family's nursing homes were all small men in Tsing Yi, and Fang Fei, dressed in red, walked in the crowd. Blinked. Right now. The dazzling red was gone!
"Ah Fei!" The four princes' eyes widened suddenly, and with a roar, they jumped down the hill and into the reeds.
Chen Yu was stunned. Then he came to his senses, and then jumped down the hill, and then burrowed into the reeds, stumbling all the way, branching and brushing the leaves, and walked aimlessly towards the edge of the reed forest.
From the hill to the ferry, this road can be reached in just a stick of incense, but Chen Yu feels like a year has passed, and it looks like there is no end, which makes people feel desperate for no reason, and has the urge to burn the whole reed to the ground.
By the time he finally walked out of the reed forest, which was so hateful that he wanted to destroy it, the people of the Zhao family had already left, and the shore was empty, as if no one had ever come.
An orange-red sun rose from the water at the end of the Luo River, the morning light dispelled all the haze, a faint green mist rose on the river surface, the dew in the reed forest had not yet dispersed, coming out of the forest, Chen Yu's clothes were wet with dew, the morning sun sprinkled on him, and the wet clothes were steaming.
From the edge of the forest to the high bank where the accident occurred, but the distance of a hundred or ten steps, Chen Yu walked for a long time, step by step, his steps were heavy, as if his feet were full of chains, and he walked for a long time before pacing to the shore where the accident occurred, staring at the turbulent river, speechless for a long time.
After half a ring, Cheng Qi came out of the reed forest with a long sword, and half of his clothes were also wet with dew, walked quickly behind Chen Yu, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "The eldest prince, the subordinates are not doing their jobs well, let the four princes escape, please punish the eldest prince!" ”
Chen Yu closed his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly, and after half a ring, he slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and said, "Get up, the fourth prince escaped under me, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
The Four Princes were in front of him, even if he was injured, the Four Princes were not necessarily his opponents, at this point, Chen Yu was very confident in himself, he had a great opportunity to get things back and capture the Four Princes, but he gave up by himself, just because the red that suddenly disappeared in the turbulent river disturbed his heart.
Cheng Qi stood up straight, stood behind Chen Yu with his sword, looked at the wide river with him, and asked tentatively: "Eldest prince, do you want someone to try your luck downstream?" ”
Chen Yu suddenly turned around, a trace of hope ignited in his dark eyes, he looked at Cheng Qi in a daze, and asked sneeringly, "How much hope?" ”
Hope, naturally, is Fang Fei's hope for survival, but everyone knows that in the extremely turbulent river in front of him, even if a fisherman who is familiar with water falls into the river, it will be nine deaths, not to mention that Fang Fei is a weak woman, and her hands are tied with five flowers cut back, otherwise, the people of the Zhao family will not even bother to look for it, so they just gave up and took people back home.
"My subordinates don't know, and there is little hope." Cheng Qi shook his head and replied truthfully.
Chen Yu didn't start, closed his eyes again, and whispered in a deep voice: "After all, I hurt her......"
He would have had countless chances to save her, and he didn't even need to come forward himself, he only needed to send one of his men to keep an eye on him, even if he sent someone to stop the Zhao family's people when the fourth prince appeared, so as not to let the tragedy happen later.
Fang Fei, this name is a thorn in his heart for many years, he has fantasized about countless ways to retaliate, but he never thought that one day, this thorn will be uprooted in this way, and even the flesh and blood in his heart will be dug up a large piece! It was dripping with blood and painful, but I didn't know exactly where it hurt.
"Go check for me, Fang ......" Chen Yu secretly clenched his fists, but he paused in the middle of the conversation, those two words, as if as long as they were mentioned, they would hurt in the heart, and after half a sound, he said hatefully: "Find out who pushed her into the water, I want to make that person regret coming to this world!" ”
Cheng Qi shuddered, his scalp tingled when he heard it, and after answering the 'yes', he tentatively expressed his opinion, and said softly: "Eldest prince, according to the opinion of her subordinates, Miss Fang may not have been pushed into the river, but she herself intends to seek death......
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Yu turned around suddenly, his eyes suddenly focused, staring at Cheng Qi fixedly, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.
Cheng Qi sighed before he said: "Eldest son, didn't you notice, she didn't bring anything when she came out of Zhao's house last night, just imagine a person who wants to go on another journey, how can he bring nothing when he leaves home?" There is only one possibility, she doesn't want to run away with you at all, but wants to die......"
As if he had heard something terrifying, Chen Yu staggered backwards two or three steps, and almost stumbled and fell off the riverbank, falling into the icy river!
Yes, from last night to now, she has countless opportunities to leave, even if there is no boat at night, just walking, she can go far away, and it is the same to board the boat and leave at other ferries, but Fang Fei didn't do anything, just sat in the grass pavilion near the ferry for the night until dawn......
"The eldest son! What's wrong with you? Cheng Qi grabbed the crumbling Chen Yu and dragged him away from the bank, away from the turbulent river under the riverbank.
"I'm fine!" Chen Yu closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of all his strength in an instant, leaning softly on Cheng Qi, but he insisted on being strong and wanted to stand up by himself.
Cheng Qi knew that he was arrogant, even if he was injured, he didn't want people to see his most wolf appearance, and he couldn't take care of it at the moment, so he grabbed one of his hands across his shoulder, hugged him and walked back, and said as he walked: "Eldest prince, the injury on your body is not healed yet, it must have been torn by the wound that Fang just used too much force, and you have to go back to change the medicine quickly." ”
Chen Yu closed his eyes tightly, his thin lips were pursed, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, and he couldn't tell which part of his body was uncomfortable, but it seemed to kill him, which made him want to cry out loud in order to make himself feel better.
Cheng Qi knew that he had a good face, and he didn't admit defeat, so he walked back, talking and finding the bottom of the stairs for him, "Eldest son, I just guessed just now, don't take it to heart, I'll arrange someone to find out when I go back, let me know who pushed Miss Fang into the water, and if I don't pick up the kid's human skin, I won't be surnamed Cheng!" ”
Chen Yu couldn't listen to anything, his ears were buzzing, as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights, a thick sense of tiredness swept over, and he also wanted to make himself feel better, so he gave up resistance, and let that tiredness drag him and fall into the boundless darkness.
