Chapter 128: The Cry of the Mountains and Forests
It is a small village, surrounded by mountains, and a small river flows slowly in front of the village. Elegant setting with pleasant views.
In the evening, the king of Yue came to the outside of the village, and Fan Li said: "King, it's getting late, let's spend the night here, okay?" ”
King Yue said, "Okay, let's stay here for the night before leaving." ”
Fan Li said: "Whether we are going to the village to stay or camping outside the village, please show the king." ”
King Yue pondered for a while and said, "The widow wants to go into the village to talk to the people, but that will inevitably disturb everyone, and a village will not be able to sleep well all night." We might as well live outside the village and come into the village tomorrow morning to have a look and talk to everyone. ”
Fan Li said: "Okay, the minister will do it." ”
Fan Lichuan gave the order to go, and immediately there were entourages to set up tents, bring water from the river, and bury pots to cook.
There was not much time, and the monarch had dinner. Everyone chatted with King Wu for a while, and was about to sleep separately, when suddenly a faint cry floated from the mountains and forests.
If you listen closely, it seems to be a woman crying. The voice was intermittent, mournful and sad, revealing heart-rending sorrow, which made people sound creepy in this mountain and forest night.
King Yue also heard the cry: "Young uncle, did you hear it?" There was a woman crying, and she was crying very sadly. ”
Fan Li said: "The king, the minister also heard it, listening to this cry, he must have encountered something sad." The villagers did not know that the king was coming, and inadvertently disturbed the king. The minister sent for her to stop crying. ”
The king of Yue said, "This is not what the widow meant. You send someone to find out why she is crying, what is there to do with it, we can help her. ”
Fan Li said: "The king can rest in peace, this little matter will be handled by the ministers." ”
Then he called Jiang He and asked him to find out who was crying in the mountains and forests, and what was the danger?
"Yes!" , the minister will handle it. Jiang He agreed, left the camp, and walked along to the cry.
Jiang He is in his twenties, he is a veteran who survived the Battle of Huiji, and this time he was able to be selected by Lingguzi to participate in the battle to defend King Wu, and his martial arts are naturally first-class masters. In addition, he is very smart, has a flexible brain, and has a strong ability to do things, and he has followed the carriage of King Yue these days and taken care of the king, which is very popular with King Yue.
Fan Li was wearing a sword and was patrolling outside King Yue's tent, when he suddenly heard Jiang He's shout from the mountains and forests: "General, come quickly, something happened!" ”
Fan Li was startled and ran along the way, only to see that in the night, Jiang He was holding a person in one hand and a sword in the other, and was about to cut a rope on the tree.
Fan Li flew up, and with a wave of his sword, he cut the rope. The rope was tied to a branch of a tree at one end and around a woman's neck at the other.
Needless to say, the woman wept in the mountains and forests for a while, and then hanged herself.
Lay the woman flat on the ground and untie half of the rope from her neck.
Fan Li leaned down and saw that this was a young girl, although she couldn't see clearly in the night, but it could be generally seen that although she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, she had a beautiful face and was a very good-looking girl.
She was lying with her eyes closed. Reach under your nose and try it, but you can't feel breathing. Fan Li hurriedly took out the potpourri pill given by Hu Qiu, poured out one, pinched the girl's mouth, and filled it in. Then he said to Jiang He: "Go and invite the queen to come!" ”
Suddenly, Yayu said behind him, "I'm here." What's going on? ”
Fan Li said: "This girl has found a short time, and the queen will come to save her." ”
The queen is also a young man and does not know how to know first aid, so Fan Li instructed the queen to press on the girl's chest, and then helped the girl up and patted her on the back.
After tossing for a while, the girl hummed and slowly woke up. As soon as his eyes opened, he saw several people around him, and cried out with a "wow": "Let me die, let me die!" ”
Yayu was soft-hearted, and when she saw the girl crying sadly, she also cried, and comforted: "Little sister, don't cry, okay, don't cry." ”
Suddenly, I heard a woman's cry on the edge of the village: "Meng Ji, girl, when you hear it, promise your mother, where are you, don't do stupid things." ”
The girl could hear the cry, and cried, "Mommy—"
The woman ran over and hugged the girl: "Girl, don't do anything stupid, you are gone, what should my mother do?" ”
"Mom!"
The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, heartbroken, and they felt uncomfortable in their hearts, and their eyes were damp. Fan Li wanted to be attached to comfort, Yayu made a gesture and said softly: "Let them cry, after crying, they will be in a better mood and be able to speak." ”
Fan Li thought that the most precious thing about people is life, and life belongs to people only once. Everyone will value their lives. Life brings us many joys, and it is a kind of happiness for us to live. Therefore, people will not take the initiative to end their lives unless they are extremely helpless.
The girl, at night, ran alone into the forest, wept bitterly for a while, and then hung herself on a tree with a rope.
She must have encountered a very troublesome thing and encountered a hurdle that she couldn't get over. I had to go this way.
So what happened to her? She can't solve it herself, and others can't help her? What about his parents? What about her loved ones?
Hearing the movement, King Yue and all the ministers came over. King Yue said, "What happened? ”
Fan Li pulled King Yue aside and whispered a few words, King Yue nodded, and said to everyone: "Everyone, Aiqing, everyone go back to rest, a little thing happened here, just let the young uncle and the king deal with it later." ”
When the ministers heard this, they whispered and went back to the camp.
The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while, only to notice that there were still a few people standing around, and the mother knew that these people had saved her daughter's life, so she let go of her daughter and knelt and kowtowed: "Thank you!" Thank you to a few kind people for saving my daughter. ”
The daughter cried again: "Mom, I don't want to live anymore, let me die!" ”
Yayu gently persuaded: "Silly girl, how difficult it is for you, say it, and we will find a way to solve it together." There is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome. ”
The girl said, "Sister, it's useless, no one can help me, I'm hopeless." Let me die. ”
As he was talking, a man at the entrance of the village shouted, "Mother-in-law, where are you?" Did you find a girl? ”
The girl's mother said, "Boss, come here, something has happened to the girl." ”
A man ran over in a panic: "What's wrong?" Something happened. ”
The mother told her daughter about hanging herself and being saved by these people, and the man cried "wow": "My hard-working girl, why are you so stupid? It's useless for the father, and if you want to die, you should die for the father. ”
Seeing Fan Li standing aside, he hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for saving my daughter." ”
Fan Li said: "Brother, don't get excited, say something slowly, what are you embarrassed?" Speak up, and together we will help you, there is no difficulty that cannot be solved. ”
The man shook his head: "It's useless, it's all my uselessness, dragging my wife and children to suffer." I live in the world, but I am ashamed. ”
After talking for a long time, he didn't say what happened, Fan Li was a little anxious: "I said brother, are you talking?" What the hell is going on? We've all said it and can help you."
The man opened his mouth to speak, but shook his head again and said, "Alas! Forget it, no one blames the shameful, no one blames me. ”
Under Fan Li's repeated urging, the man in his thirties, with tears in his eyes, slowly told a tragic story.
