Chapter 33: Suicide
The carriage was galloping along the avenue, and He Mian'er knew that if these people wanted to tie themselves up and go to the location of the northern Tartars, they must go all the way to the north.
This trip must have passed through the Shanxi border, and then entered the Mongolian border through the pass, and then the north was the location of the Xiongnu.
If she and Chen Fuzi want to be saved, they must be rescued before entering Mongolia, or they must find a chance to escape.
If you want to rely on the capital's headhunter to save it, I'm afraid there is little hope. After all, distant water can't cure her thirst, not to mention, she is very suspicious that whether everyone in the nunnery has found out that she has been taken away is another matter.
This time, He Mian'er's guess was completely correct. There has always been no one to control her in the nunnery, and Mingxin was busy squatting at the gate of the nunnery in the morning, so he had no chance to look for her.
At noon, when I arrived at the meditation room and saw no one, I thought that she had gone to the back mountain to embroider and water the ground, and she didn't care, she ate by herself, and still stayed at the door of the nunnery to receive guests.
That Ah Xiang knew that He Mian'er was not very reluctant to see herself, so she naturally obediently served the wise master with decoction medicine, and did not dare to appear in front of He Mian'er casually.
So until He Mian'er was taken away and the carriage left the capital, no one knew.
It wasn't until dusk in the afternoon that Master Naming wanted to spend a few more taels of silver tomorrow to invite a better doctor to go up the mountain for the wise master who was aggravated.
It's just that Master Na Ming thought for the first time that He Mian'er wanted to go down the mountain, and after being rejected by himself, he didn't say hello and secretly walked down the mountain gate.
At the moment, he no longer let everyone look for it, but he was unhappy in his heart, thinking that He Mian'er did not know how to be polite, and he was used to playing tricks.
It wasn't until Mingxin went back to the room at dinner, and when he packed up his things, he found that the luggage He Mian'er brought was all in the nunnery, not only the underwear, the change of clothes, but also the few taels of broken silver, and the embroidered paintings were placed on the table in the meditation room.
At this time, Master Ming was a little flustered, and after asking Mingxin, he knew that he had not seen He Mian'er leave from the main gate of the nunnery all day.
Master Ming wanted it now, and it seemed that He Mian'er's cousin had come to the temple during the day. This cousin was very generous, and every time he came, he donated a large amount of incense money, so Master Ming also had a good impression of him.
So on the one hand, he sent Mingxin down the mountain and hurriedly asked the cousin to ask, and on the other hand, he sent Ah Xiang and everyone to the back mountain to look for it.
At this time, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and everyone lit the faint light to look for it in the back mountain, and after searching for a long time, they only found half an embroidered shoe by the river.
When Ah Xiang saw the embroidered shoe, she hugged the shoe on the spot and cried bitterly. After all, if it weren't for an accident, where would there be a reason for normal people to throw their shoes on the ground and not wear them.
At this time, Master Ming was already very panicked, on the one hand, he planned to go to the government tomorrow to report to the official, but on the other hand, he didn't know how to explain to He Mian'er's parents.
In recent years, a large part of the Buddhist scriptures copied by He Mian'er were requested by her own mother, Mrs. He, to subsidize her daughter's family.
Master Ming knows too much that Mrs. He loves her daughter the most, and if she knows that her daughter has suffered an accident, I don't know how sad she will be. Not to mention that the matter is in their nunnery, I am afraid that it will be difficult for this matter to end well.
Everyone searched for it in the back mountain, until He Mian'er's cousin Chen Ziren went up the mountain.
Chen Ziren tried to persecute his cousin this day, but he was slapped in the face, and he suddenly calmed down a lot.
When He Mian'er escaped, he stroked his beaten face, and the more he thought about it, the more remorseful he became.
After all, he was confused for a while, and he was evil, he had read the sage books for a few years, and after being beaten sober by He Mian'er, he didn't want to see others again, so he went down the mountain in disgrace.
planned to carry a gift to make amends to He Mian'er another day, and coax He Mian'er home first.
When Mingxin went straight to Chen's house, Chen Ziren was sad at home and drank alone. Listening to Mingxin's words, he was terrified for a while, and he only felt that his mind was clouded.
Isn't it, He Mian'er was insulted by herself, and she couldn't think about it for a while......
The more Chen Ziren thinks about it, the more scared he becomes, he and He Mian'er grew up together since childhood, and they also love her from the bottom of their hearts.
Who would have thought that he was confused for a while and would be angry with his cousin. Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, my cousin is the most strong, since she is in love with Xu Yunqing, she has been insulted by herself, how can she be angry.
The more Chen Ziren thought about it, the more panicked he became, his face turned pale and his legs and feet were weak. Even talking was already stumbling.
Chen Ren's mother saw that the situation was not right, and immediately forced her son behind Mingxin's back. Chen Ziren was flustered at this time, and after asking a little, he explained all the situation.
Chen Ziren's mother also watched He Mian'er grow up since she was a child, and she can be said to know He Mian'er very well.
waved his hand and said: "Don't panic, your cousin is the most assertive, she didn't let you succeed, but she has already beaten you, so she won't look for a short-sighted." ”
didn't care about anything at the moment, and took his son up the mountain with Mingxin.
The three of them went up the mountain, and they met Ah Xiang holding one of He Mian'er's shoes and crying bitterly.
Chen Ziren pointed to his shoes tremblingly at the moment and said, "Where did you find it?" ”
Ah Xiang said truthfully, "By the river." As soon as these words fell, Chen Ziren's legs and feet were weak, and he collapsed to the ground and cried. My poor cousin, I can't live with you, I didn't mean to......"
After crying a few words, everyone knew that Chen Ziren intended to mistreat He Mian'er, He Mian'er was ashamed and angry, and committed suicide directly by throwing herself into the river.
At that moment, everyone was glaring at Chen Ziren, and even Chen Ziren himself was planning to commit suicide to pay for He Mian'er's life.
Chen Ziren's mother was calm and hurriedly explained: "I didn't succeed, he, a brute, was slapped by Mian'er." ”
Ah Xiang immediately retorted coldly: "My wife is the most strong, even if she doesn't succeed, I'm afraid she can't be angry." ”
Mrs. Chen looked at the embroidered shoes in front of her, and muttered in her heart, could it be that He Mian'er changed her temper and really committed suicide by throwing herself into the river?
If that's the case, it's all over. His son can't keep it, let alone how to explain it to his own sister.
After all, my sister is such a pearl in the palm of her hand, if something really happens, I'm afraid that my sister and brother-in-law will have no idea of living.
The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, she broke out in a cold sweat, seeing that her son was already paralyzed on the ground, she was in despair, and she only felt that this rebel son was really better than not giving birth.
Everyone thought that He Mian'er had committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, so they naturally planned to go to the back mountain along the river to find the body, and talk about it tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, a strong man came straight to the nunnery at the front door.
