The town, the guest house

In the small room, the three of them gathered in a group and discussed with sad faces.

"Sister-in-law, what should we do now?" Gu Yi asked with a blank face: "Let's ...... Still up the hill? ”

Chen Xingling glared at him and replied, "Of course!" ”

Zhao Xiaoxing on the side was sobbing and crying, her face full of tears.

"My father and mother must be strange in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't have said that. I ran away with him, and my family's reputation was ruined. My father and mother would rather be dead...... I don't dare to let others know. ”

Chen Xingling handed her a handkerchief and whispered comfortingly: "Don't cry, your father and mother can't do it." If you run away with Ah Yi, you can just leave, but they are people from the mountains, and they will continue to live in the mountains in the future, so it is naturally difficult to spread this matter. ”

Zhao Xiaoxing wiped her tears, choked up and asked, "Sister-in-law, what should we do now?" Are we still going up the mountain? ”

Chen Xingling lowered his eyes and thought seriously.

Along the way, I hurried and hurried, finally got off the train at the station, got on the tractor, and changed to a donkey cart, and finally arrived at the only town near Pingshuo Mountain, and took advantage of a little moonlight to touch the dilapidated guest house in the town.

The three of them were so tired that they didn't care about what to do, so after hurriedly eating a bowl of hot noodles, they each rested and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Xingling asked Gu Yi to quietly go up the mountain to inquire about the news, to be sure to understand some of the situation in Zhao Xiaoxing's family, and to see what they thought of their daughter's "disappearance in the middle of the night".

Gu Yi came back soon, and explained that Zhao Xiaoxing's family said that she accidentally fell into the river a few days ago and was washed away by the river.

It is spring now, the spring rain is full of river water, the river is turbulent and fierce, even adult strong men dare not go down the river easily, let alone a young and delicate girl's house.

The Zhao family searched along the river for a day and a night, and then went back crying, saying that they couldn't find the corpse, and said that their daughter had unfortunately drowned.

If she took Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing up the mountain at this time, the front and back calibers could not be unified, the Zhao family would not be able to lie, and the elopement would change from suspicion to ironclad reality, which would definitely annoy the Zhao family and make their family a laughing stock for others.

I don't know if the marriage can be completed by then, but Xiaoxing's reputation will definitely be completely ruined, and her mother's family will definitely hate her.

But if you don't go up the mountain, how can the purpose of the trip be achieved?

Gu Yi looked at his sweetheart in embarrassment, and asked, "Do you want to ...... Let's just say that I saved you downstream? You are unconscious, and then you stay in the hospital for a while, until you are awake, and then I will send you back, and then bring your sister-in-law to the door to propose? What do you think? ”

Zhao Xiaoxing thought about it and quickly shook her head.

Gu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Why not?" ”

Chen Xingling asked with a smile: "Your family is in Shangjing, how can you 'happen to go' to the lower reaches of the river, and save her so 'coincidentally'?" After saving someone, why didn't you go back to the village to report the news? Don't you know the road to her house? Such a lie is full of loopholes, who would believe it? Now other people's families are just guessing, and they don't dare to conclude whether Xiao Xing really ran out to find her lover. But if you take her back with you, others will only be sure that it will be so. No matter what river you jump into, you won't be able to wash it away. ”

"Sister-in-law, what do you say you can do?" Gu Yi scratched his hair and said irritably: "People are still alive, how can you say that she fell into the river and disappeared!" It's ruthless! ”

"What do you say?" Chen Xingling scolded with a disgusted smile: "If you don't say that, can you tell the truth that Xiaoxing ran away with you in the middle of the night?" When their faces were dull and they were poked in the back, did you think about them? ”

The marriage of many villagers is still the words of the matchmaker of their parents, and this is almost the case here in Pingshuo Mountain.

There are not many young people who can fall in love freely, but they still have to follow the old rules to marry before they can get married. Like the kind of running away with someone else's house in private, and at the same time not being recognized, it will also be regarded as a joke by others, and even ridiculed for a lifetime.

Zhao Xiaoxing glanced at her sweetheart and whispered: "I have left with you, and I plan to abandon my family and live with you for the rest of my life...... Am I not ruthless? My father and mother gave birth to me and raised me, how could they be willing to die for me, not because they were afraid that it would not sound good if it was spread. It's not easy to raise me, and once I leave, I'm the most ruthless one. ”

Gu Yi didn't dare to say anything more, so he buried his head.

Chen Xingling rolled his eyes and discussed: "First of all, we must round up the lies of Xiao Xing's family and cover up the fact that Xiao Xing disappeared for no reason. Then, Ah Yi and I went up to the mountain again to hire our relatives, try to pick Ah Yi out, and take the opportunity to cover up the fact that you eloped. ”

"How do you lie?" Zhao Xiaoxing blushed and asked, "Why don't you ...... Shall I go back first? Let's just say that I didn't die, I was saved by a well-wisher, and I will go home after recovering from my injuries? ”

Chen Xingling shook his head: "No, someone has to send you back, it's best to have someone in your village who doesn't know you, saying that he rescued you under the river, and then sent you home." It's better that this person has nothing to do with our Gu family, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”

Gu Yi stood up and said, "Then I'll go find it immediately!" ”

"Don't." Chen Xingling frowned and stopped him, and whispered: "It takes time and effort to find a place that is too far away, and most of the people in the village will recognize the people who are looking for a place that is too close." In case that person is unreliable, it is easy to expose the stuff by others who ask east and west for a while. It's best to be foolproof with this plan, and if we mess up, we'll run away in vain. ”

Zhao Xiaoxing swallowed her saliva and asked, "That's ...... So who to look for? ”

"I'll do it." Chen Xingling replied.

"It's not!" Gu Yi reminded with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't you still want to go up the mountain with me to propose marriage?" How could it be you? Won't it be the same then? ”

Chen Xingling gave up, got up and walked to the suitcase.

"Luckily, I brought my old-fashioned cheongsam with me. You go out and wait for me for ten minutes, and I'll give you a look at it. ”

Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't react a little.

"Sister-in-law? What cross-dressing? ”

Chen Xingling didn't care about explaining, so he drove the two of them out first, and quickly closed the door.

Then, she hurriedly entered the supermarket space, went straight to the beauty area to find a short silver-white hair to put on, and then ran to the cloakroom to find an aunt-style cheongsam to put on, and also went to the shoes and socks area to find a pair of beautiful old people's cloth shoes to wear.

I found a high-end fur and wrapped it on my shoulders, turned around and ran back to the jewelry area to find a pair of reading glasses and put them on, and instantly became a noble old woman with silver hair.

After a closer look, I found that the skin of the person in the mirror was too smooth and fair, so I had to go back to the beauty area to put on makeup.

More than twenty minutes later, she came out of the supermarket space, looked at the outfit on her body with satisfaction, and then opened the door to let Gu Yixiao and the couple in.

The two of them looked at her dumbfounded, and they couldn't react for a long time.

"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? ”

"Who are you? Why are you in the house? ”

Chen Xingling grinned, blinked his eyes and asked, "How is it?" You don't even recognize you, do you? I used a little bit of rouge powder and eyebrow pencil to apply a lot of wrinkles, I look like an old lady, right? ”

"Sister-in-law! You're a- too similar! Gu Yi laughed in surprise: "This silver hair - how did you get it?" If you don't speak, I won't even recognize you! ”

Chen Xingling gave up, and the lies came to his mouth.

"I used to help my mother cut her hair, but I was reluctant to throw away such soft white hair, so I put it away one by one. Later, it was glued to the film with fish glue and cut into a wig. You must not touch it, if you touch it, you will drop it, and I hope that it will last for a day and a half to make this lie come true. ”

"Uh-oh." Gu Yi nodded hurriedly.

Chen Xingling hurriedly urged: "Don't pestle! Mari is going to rent a good carriage, and I'm going to take Xiao Xing up the mountain at once. ”

"Hey!"
