Chapter 5: Jumping into the River

Chutz made a rough plan in his head.

She was going to fake her death, leave a "suicide note" to wash away her grievances, and take the opportunity to escape by boat.

In this way, not only does she not have to stay in the courtyard of the Chu family, but she can also wash away her stigma.

So she called a carriage and asked Yuki to go out to the port to buy fresh fish for her, in fact, to put her baggage on the passenger ship in advance.

When Xiwu went out to buy fish, she called the guards outside the door to come in, saying that Chu Yu suddenly fainted while talking, and now the whole house was in chaos, and Master Chu and Mrs. Chu hurriedly gathered in front of Chu Yu's bed, and for a while, almost all the people gathered around Chu Yu's Zhuyunju, those who served water, those who invited doctors, and those who were busy discussing......

Before the doctor came, it was Chutz's best chance to escape.

She slipped out the back door, and since she was unguarded, she managed to escape fairly smoothly. It is inevitably noticeable, she also deliberately put on a small gray cloth shirt, as long as you don't look carefully, no one can recognize it.

She knew that she had followed the street behind the house all the way to the west, and after two more turns she had reached the Spring River, which was notoriously turbulent, and many people who had fallen into the water had been swept away to nowhere, and their bodies could not be found.

Unfortunately, she happened to know that there was a shallow tidal flat on the road two miles down the river, and as long as she didn't go to the middle of the river, she could float steadily to the tidal flat once she leaned a little closer to the shore.

She asked Yuki to prepare a set of clothes there, find a boat to wait for her, and when the time came, she jumped under the gaze of several people, and her plan was complete.

She kept a "suicide note" at home, and when she slipped out of the house, she also took out a wooden stake for chopping vegetables from the kitchen, stuffed it into a bag and carried it on her body, so that with a jump, she could ensure that no accidents would happen.

She happily walked to the river, the gray cloth shirt was able to hide herself very well, and no one recognized her along the way.

I don't know why, it's obviously leaving her family, which should have been a sad thing, but she can only feel the freedom and relaxation that she hasn't seen for a long time, and she is only looking forward to and excited about the upcoming "North Drift" life, and even the fear of the unknown future has weakened a lot.

She probably really doesn't fit in here.

She didn't know how she had lived for more than ten years, but since she could remember, she hadn't been happy at all, only overwhelmed with anxiety.

And at this time......

Looking at the calm and vast river in front of me, I was able to breathe smoothly!

She took a deep breath, took off her gray shirt in the corner, and restored the lotus pink gauze skirt that Miss Chu wore on weekdays, the light gauze was as thin as a cicada's wings, and her slender body was reflected in layers, and the people by the river were attracted by her, and many people recognized her.

"Eh, isn't this the crazy Miss Chu, why is she running here?"

"yes, and you're alone?"

"yes, yes, I heard that her innocence was ruined......"

"Bah, you listen to people's nonsense, and the words of a long-tongued woman can be trusted?"

"Hey, at that time, the woman personally asked the shopkeeper of the Chu family's ready-to-wear store, but he didn't explain it clearly at the time!"

"yes, yes, maybe it's true!"

“……”

Chutz was not surprised to hear this, although usually she really wanted to blow the brains of these garbage people, but now, all she wanted was their discussion.

Chu Yu hooked her lips invisibly, and her eyes were full of tears in the next second, she walked very slowly step by step, tears rolled and dripped with every step, she didn't say a word, but the people around her just watched her cry and unconsciously stopped talking.

I have to admit that Chu Ci is really beautiful, and it is the kind of delicate beauty of a southern woman, which makes people can't help but want to hold her in the palm of their hands when they see her, and they can't bear to hurt her in the slightest, and when she cries, I see pity, the tip of the reddish nose and the white face, under the backdrop of tears, it is more like poking on the tip of people's hearts.

Chu Ci walked to the river, facing the people, the wind blew her hair, she choked up while crying: "The Chu family is not a filial daughter, ashamed of the teachings of her parents, cowardly, she knows that she can't face slander, and she can only die to prove her innocence!" ”

Before people could react, she clicked on her toes, and with a slight leap, her pink figure plunged into the river, and disappeared in an instant.
