Qiu Wen was angry in his heart, and he had nowhere to sprinkle it, and when he heard this, he said: "Dare to deceive Marigold Niangniang, are you really impatient?" You drag him out and find a steep cliff and let him think about it alone for a month. ”

Anbang's mother came to plead, and her mouth whimpered.

Qiu Wen said: "He is your son, and it is said that you have not taught it well." Since the cliff is steep, there is no need to go up, punish your son to go to the mountains to pick stones, and pick hundreds of catties to cut out the beautiful jade inside. ”

"Yes."

Since there are fierce beasts in the mountains, Autumn Moon made a decision: go to the forest to see, is there a chance to escape? Since the forest can enter, there is also a way out.

"Stand down, I'm tired. If anyone wishes, let me lead the way, and I will go to the house where I lived in my previous life, and I will have a look. ”

"Yes."

Autumn Pattern, under the guidance of an elderly man, really entered the forest. I don't want to have a lot of trees in the forest. That Xu Yapo was also wrong, Xiushan is not a barren mountain, and there are still many beautiful trees and trees.

Sure enough, she saw that there was a small and delicate building in the lush woods. The building is in the shape of a tower, and it looks like it has about six floors.

Qiu Wen asked the old man, "What is this building called?" ”

"Niangniang, it's called Marigold Tower."

"Good. You go out. I only need to ask someone to bring three meals a day, and I need to cultivate my self-cultivation for a few days, and no one is allowed to step half a step without my instructions. ”

The old man replied respectfully again.

Qiu Wen looked at the tall small building, and couldn't help but be happy. As the saying goes: Stand tall and see far. As long as you go to the highest point of the floor, you can overlook the entire Xiushan Mountain. Then, it will not be difficult to find a way out.

When she climbed the tall building, she could really look at the panoramic view of the entire Xiushan Mountain.

The forest was so quiet that the birds could not hear it. Autumn Moon ordered someone to clean the attic, and sure enough, there were no wild beasts in the mountain forest. She was even more inclined to run away.

The people of Xiushan are ignorant, and everyone is convinced that she is the reincarnation of the marigold. But if you leave today, if you leave at this time, it will also arouse suspicion, and it will have to drag on for a few days.

It was dusk on the third day.

The mute old woman brought the meal as usual, and Autumn Wen said thank you. To be honest, she was not disgusted with Abang's mother. In this small building, she eats and drinks three meals a day, all of which are sent by Abang's mother. The meals are all carefully cooked, but Akira is not used to eating them. The mountain people of Xiushan like to put chili peppers in their food. Eating too much and having a dry mouth.

On this day, Abang came to see her.

Qiu Wen is the "supreme ruler" of Xiushan and enjoys the highest authority, and even if Abang is the leader, he has to come to ask her for advice.

It's really amazing.

Imagine, a few days ago, Abang forcibly asked her to be her mother-in-law, but now, when Abang saw the autumn pattern, he was respectful and well-behaved, and he didn't dare to come out.

"What?" The autumn pattern is naturally also posed, pretending to be calm.

"There are outsiders in the mountains."

"You can just go and receive it, I just want to meditate here."

"I've always been in the presence of people before. But the man heard that he was a general, and that there was a new Marigold lady in the mountains, so he must see you. ”

"Nope." Autumn Pattern turned away.

Ah Bang showed a look of embarrassment: "Niangniang, those people can't afford to mess with, they all have swords on their bodies." ”

"So what?"

"If they are not happy, they will plunder in the mountains. Xiushan is not a barren mountain, and stones are treasures. The whole mountain is a treasure. ”

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.

Abang understands this. In his eyes, a military general with a weapon in his hand does not have a good thing. Previously, Abang led the mountain people to sell stones, and when he returned halfway, he met a military general, who pretended to be shy in his pocket and lacked supplies, and robbed Abang and the mountain people of all the money they had worked hard to sell jade, leaving nothing entangled. When Abang saw these people, he hated them.

"What do you mean you have to do with me?" Autumn pattern is very impatient.

"Yes, mother, forgive me for offending." Abang knelt down again.

Qiu Wen thought about it, and he couldn't stiffen his relationship with Abang. In the end, she hasn't gone out yet. "Good. I'd like to see what scares you like this? ”

Abang's face immediately turned red, and he was ashamed.

Xiushan has a hall for receiving guests. It is said that the hall is not a hall, but a large and wide pavilion. Marigold Niangniang's residence is in the mountains and forests, but the reception room is on other distant mountainsides, which makes Qiu Wen not understand.

Abang led the way.

He also said something about the hard work of digging jade and picking jade, and that doing this work is very harmful to the body and easy to be dangerous. If it weren't for the sake of the family, no one would want to give it up. It's all hard-earned money, and it's all about gambling with your life for tomorrow.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Autumn Moon felt that he had something to say.

Abang was bold. "I mean, it's better to let the people outside the mountain take care of the stones in Xiushan, and once there is a sale, we will share it with them. Or five-five, or four-six. In this way, the mountain people are much more relaxed. ”

Autumn Moon turned to look at him.

Sure enough, this Abang has a bit of a brain. Although he is illiterate, he can keep his account books neat and tidy, and he can plan in his heart. The only drawback is that the people in the mountains don't take women seriously.

It's a good idea.

"Are you really willing to let others make money?"

"What is there to be reluctant to. Every year when stones are quarried, there are accidents every year. There are so many stones, but if they are gone, they will not be recovered. ”

"You still seem to have some compassion in your heart."

"That's it. Xie Marigold praised her. I'm their leader, and of course I want them to earn money and be safe. "Human beings are complex, and human nature is even more complex. Abang has both a good side and a stupid side, both shrewd and reckless.

When you get to the mountainside, the scenery looks even better.

This is the first time that Qiu Wen is in the mood to enjoy the scenery of Xiushan. In fact, where high-quality jade can be produced, the scenery is not much worse. This is indeed a treasure trove of feng shui. Suddenly, Autumn Moon saw a woman walking in a hurry with a package, and when she saw her and Abang, she didn't seem to see her, and she lowered her head and only went into the river ahead. Is she going to do the laundry?

The woman looked to be in her forties, the age of a grandmother. Autumn Pattern saw clearly that the package was not wrapped in a person, but a newborn baby.

"Stop!" Autumn Pattern shouted.

The woman was stunned, stopped, looked back, and saw that it was Marigold Niang, and knelt down with a plop.

"Where are you going?"

"Hui Niangniang, I'...... I'm going to take this child to the sun. The woman's voice looked uncomfortable.

This is clearly a lie. How can there be a newborn baby basking in the sun at dusk? Qiu Wen remembered that there was a bad habit of drowning babies in Xiushan, and this woman must have disliked the daughter-in-law of the family who gave birth to a baby girl, and hurriedly held her and threw her into the river. She deliberately asked Abang: "Tell me, is she telling the truth or not?" ”

How did Abang not know?

"Probably, it's just going to bask in the sun."

Qiu Wen was angry, and she scolded the woman harshly: "Since ancient times, men and women have been equal. I think the previous Marigold Lady meant the same thing. Is it that in the past few years, the marigold mother has not been reincarnated, so you have forgotten these ancient precepts? You are also a woman, why are you so ruthless? Obviously, in the past hundred years, there have been fewer and fewer baby girls in Xiushan, so that the men in the mountains have to buy daughters-in-law outside. Buying a daughter-in-law should not either. Can a human being be bought and sold, or a marriage bought and sold? As soon as you buy it, you will have an accident. Since there are so few women, why not cherish them? I'm not used to seeing it for a long time. From today on, no matter which one of these Xiushan is involved, as long as there is an act of abusing or drowning a baby girl, he will be punished for 100 and will be beaten to death. ”

Akimoru is not joking.

With her current status, she doesn't know how to joke. Abang was afraid, but he still wanted to intercede for this woman. "Marigold Niangniang, I thought that she was a first-time offender, but she was forgiven. After all, for such a long time, the drowning of babies is nothing in Xiushan. Almost every household has drowned baby girls. ”

This made Autumn Pattern even more angry.

"Abang, if you dare to intercede for her, then I will take you together." She shouted a few times, and more than a dozen men and women came out of the mountainside. Autumn Moon ordered them: "Take Abang and this woman who is preparing to drown the baby to the small building in the woods, and when I return, I will punish them personally." ”

Autumn Moon asked where the woman's family was?

Soon, the woman's daughter-in-law stumbled. She was disheveled, with tears in her eyes, looked at the baby girl in her mother-in-law's hand, and quickly snatched it away, crying in a low voice. She is the mother of the baby girl. It seems that she is very reluctant. I was very reluctant to hand over the child to my mother-in-law.

Autumn Moon asked the young woman where her husband was.

There were more people in the crowd. The woman's husband came out of nowhere. Qiu Wen was very disgusted: "This is also your child, you are a father, why are you so ruthless?" ”

The man lowered his head and said that his own flesh and blood couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother. The men in Xiushan are very filial to their mothers, whatever the mother says, it is what the mother is, the mother, even if the son jumps off the cliff and dies, the son cannot resist.

These words made Qiu Wen even more uncomfortable to hear.

"Your life is your own. Besides, you have a wife and children. How can anyone ignore the life or death of his wife and son in order to listen to his mother's words? It seems that you are also a fool, come and tie him up and take him to Xiaolou! ”

Autumn Wen doesn't know where his courage comes from, anyway, since he can't get used to it, he must put on a serious and solemn look on his face.

"Yes."

The young woman was crying even more, her eyes a little hesitant, as if she wanted to say something to Autumn Pattern.

Qiu Wen understood her thoughts, so he shook his head at her: "You don't have to intercede for them, they deserve to be punished." You hurry back with the baby in your arms. ”
