Hearing this, Ye Lan raised his head and glanced at the scholar on the bridge, sighed lightly, and said slowly: "It turns out that this scholar is going to be martyred......" He shook his head as he spoke, his face showed compassion, he groaned slightly, and asked the old man again: "How could the daughter of the soldier be tied to the bottom of the bridge, and the murderer was found?"

The old man shook his head slightly, and sighed lightly: "Where is there any murderer, this daughter tied herself to the stake with her own hands......"

Ye Lan was startled, frowned and asked, "What, did this young lady also commit suicide?"

The old man didn't answer yet, but he heard Mo Yao say quietly: "In my opinion, this eldest lady was afraid that she would be chased and had no way to escape, so she had to hide under the bridge, and she was afraid that the river would rush her away, so she took out her clothes and tied herself to a wooden stake by the river. ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then gave a thumbs up and praised: "The girl is really smart, and her guess is not bad at all!"

Ye Lan sighed, pointed at the scholar on the bridge, and asked the old man: "Did this scholar commit suicide when he saw the tragic death of his sweetheart?"

The old man shook his head and said: "That's not it, when this scholar came, the officials had already carried the body of the young lady for half an hour, this scholar saw that this place was full of people, I don't know what happened, so he asked people, someone told him what he had just seen, this scholar heard it, immediately fainted, and when he woke up, he cried and cried and told the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that the scholar's father was also a member of the court, and the scholar and the young lady had known each other since childhood, and secretly engaged for life, but although their father was an official in the same dynasty, they belonged to different factions, and the fight was very fierce in front of the saint, and the two knew that this marriage would not be allowed by the two families, so they decided to elope and go, and agreed to meet at this bridgehead yesterday evening......"

Mo Yao didn't wait for him to finish, then sighed lightly, and said: "Who knew that this young lady came to the bridge to meet as promised, and waited left and right to see her lover, but waited for her own official errand, she wanted to hide elsewhere, and she was afraid that she would be far away from this bridge, this scholar couldn't find himself when he came, and in desperation, he took the risk to hide under the bridge, and he had his clothes to tie himself to the stake at the bottom of the bridge, hoping to avoid the family servants looking for it, but this young lady was pampered, didn't know the water nature, didn't wait for a lover, but waited for the impermanence of life......"

The old man also sighed, "I think so. This scholar did not arrive overnight, only came to this bridge during the day, according to his own words, he was seen by the next person when he packed up and went out, he was afraid that the next person would report to his parents, so that the second old man was suspicious, so he did not dare to go to the appointment, thinking that he would miss today, and then set a date, who knew that he left home early in the morning and came to the bridge, but he was separated from this eldest lady forever. ”

When Mo Yao heard this, he was furious, and said hatefully: "I just said that this person was discovered by his family and detained at home, but he was only seen and scared by his subordinates, so he easily broke the appointment! That young lady kept her oath and would rather die than leave this stone bridge, but she didn't expect that the person who made the oath with her regarded this agreement as so worthless, and she was really entrusted to a non-human being, and she died unjustly!"

Her words were filled with hatred, and her voice was agitated, not only did everyone around her hear them, but even the scholar on the bridge would hear them clearly, he turned his head, glanced at Mo Yao, and suddenly sighed heavily

angry, weeping and said: "The trust is not human, the trust is not human...... , Ah Ruan, do you think the same way......? , I'm really a useless person, let's make a vow that we will never be separated in this life, now why don't you leave me alone, Ah Ruan, you go slower on the Huangquan Road, I'll come to you. Speaking of this, he wanted to jump down, but he originally rode on the stone fence, and he was a proud official son, who spent a long time on the stone fence, his legs were already numb, and he wanted to jump off but he couldn't do it, so he had to honestly hold on to the stone fence and step sideways, so as to turn his body over to the bridge.

The crowd under the bridge who watched the excitement saw that he was so unhappy to jump off the bridge, and looked down on him even more, but when they saw that he was finally about to jump, they all cheered loudly. Ye Lan looked at the scholar's clumsy and embarrassed situation, sighed lightly, but had no intention of rescuing, Mo Yao glanced at him, and saw that he had no intention of making a move, so he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Aren't you going to save him?"

Ye Lan shook his head slightly, and sighed: "His lover died, he lived in the world and blamed himself every day, suffering and suffering, living like this, there is only endless suffering, it is better to die like this, it is a hundred, maybe after death, the souls of the two can finally join hands, and the two of them go to Huangquan together, it is better than him staying alone in this world to suffer." ”

Mo Yao snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "Alone, does this guy have brothers and sisters? Does he have a mother and a son? He closed his eyes and jumped, it was refreshing to be a hundred, but he let his parents send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, it was really good to have no conscience! What this girl looked down on the most was such a non-responsible wreck, and when she saw it, she felt angry, if such a useless thing died, she died, and she only pitied his family. ”

The scholar was cowardly and afraid of death, otherwise he would not have hesitated at the bridgehead for so many times, when he heard Mo Yao's sarcasm, the left sentence was not responsible, and the right sentence was wasted, which aroused the blood in his heart, and said loudly to her: "I Li is a dignified man, and I have faith in my words, since I promised that Ah Ruan's life and death will not be separated, I decided to go with her, in order to die for this, I have two brothers in the high hall to fulfill my filial piety on my behalf, but I don't need the girl to this idleness, Li died when he died, but before he died, he couldn't stand the unreasonable words of your mother-in-law!"

Mo Yao had already seen that this scholar was not pleasing to the eye, but at this time, seeing him clinging to the stone fence with both hands, but still talking so loudly, he couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart, raised his willow eyebrows, and said loudly: "If you want to jump, you can jump, so rubbing, and let the girl help you!"

Speaking of this, he flashed in front of the scholar, probed lightly, and pushed the scholar down.

The scholar pushed her, and with a bang, she threw herself into the river. He doesn't know the nature of water, although he has the will to die, but in a panic, it is human instinct to struggle to survive, and he can't help but fight hard and shout for help.

Ye Lan didn't expect Mo Yao to really push the scholar down the river, and in a daze, he also floated to the bridge, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he had already pulled the scholar up in the air. He was afraid that Mo Yao would be angry and unfavorable to this scholar, so although he rescued him from the water, he did not immediately pull him onto the bridge. The audience under the bridge saw that the scholar Ling Xuan was hanging in the air, and naturally they all understood that Ye Lan was a cultivator, and the people in this were well-informed, and they were not surprised to see that Ye Lan was a monk.

The scholar was soaked in the river water, and his bones were cold, so he was hung in the air by Ye Lanling, and the river water on his body dripped, and then the wind blew through the bridge, until his lips turned purple and his teeth rattled, he was a noble son with fine clothes and fine food, when had he suffered such hardships in his life? Immediately, he felt unbearable, and shouted: "Pull me up, I ...... I'm so cold!"

Mo Yao snorted lightly, looked down at the scholar and said, "Pull you up, aren't you going to throw yourself into the river to be martyred? Why do you want to come up again?"

Hearing Mo Yao's question, he felt speechless to answer, only felt that his face was feverish, and he was snorting for a long time, and said in a sneering voice: "It's cold today, the water is too cold, and it is not suitable to jump ......."

Ye Lan said this, slightly stunned, and a little bit in his heart that he couldn't afford this book, Mo Yao sighed and said: "Brother Lan, you see I'm not wrong, such people who are looking for death and life at every turn are mostly useless and spineless, but it's a pity that the girl who would rather die than leave this bridgehead gave her life for such a person in vain!"

Ye Lan also sighed lightly, pulled the scholar up, gently placed him on the bridge, looked down at him, and said lightly: "It's best if he doesn't want to die, that girl keeps her oath and dies for her lover, although it is a pity, she also dies without regrets." If this scholar really died of martyrdom, then all kinds of vows and alliances between the two of them, tenderness and sweetness will also go with this scholar, and it will disappear, and now he is no longer looking for death, and he will never forget that a girl died for him in the rest of his life, as long as he is still alive in this world, that young lady will always live in his heart......"

The scholar was shivering with cold, and his heart was full of fear, but after listening to Ye Lan's words and thinking of his lover, his heart was full of pain again, and he began to cry again, only to keep chanting in his mouth: "Of course I won't forget her, I will never forget her!"

Seeing that he was no longer looking for death, Deng was very happy, and wanted to coax and scold a few words, but he was afraid of Ye Lan's magical powers, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to muttered a few words, saying that this scholar was a bastard with no eggs, and Lao Tzu waited for a long time to gamble although he drank flowers and wine, and slowly dispersed. The number of onlookers at the bridge gradually decreased, and suddenly someone shouted in the distance: "Young master, young master, don't do stupid things, the master is here, the master is here!"

Ye Lan looked up and saw dozens of officials rushing over, an official sedan chair following behind, and eight sedan chair drivers walked in a hurry, shaking a large sedan chair undulating.

Ye Lan saw that the scholar's family was looking for him, and knew that he was fine, so he said to Mo Yao: "Let's go." Without waiting for her to answer, he reached out and took her hand, dodged across the bridge, and in the blink of an eye his figure was outside the Lixu.

Mo Yao let him hold his hand, but walked with his head down, his face was thin with three points of anger, and there was also a little sadness. Ye Lan vaguely guessed that she was a little worried, but she didn't know how to persuade her, the two of them walked around the street in silence for half an hour, but no one had the intention of enjoying the scenery, Ye Lan saw that the anger on her face slowly faded, but the sadness became stronger and stronger, she couldn't help sighing, and said softly: "Ah Yao, why do you hate a martyr so much, you ...... , did you make this scholar think of Uncle Mo?"
