Chapter 57: Fake Death
The tench's advice to Chan is to fake his death! escaped this identity, and then hid in the mountains to silently protect his son's growth.
Does Chan really want to die?
Of course I don't want to when I have a choice! Her son is only six years old, and she is reluctant to see him grow up. However, now even He Jiafang, the most man in the village, has begun to find her without scruples, and there will only be more thoughtful men in the village in the future, so she agreed to the idea that Ding Yu gave her almost without thinking about it.
According to the plan given to her by the tench, she made herself even more embarrassed, and then went down the mountain like a walking corpse from the main road of the village to the outside of the village.
It's cold at this time, and few people eat outside in the cold, and when the gossipy women are cooking dinner at home, of course they will be seen walking through the village, but because of her identity, although the people in the village look at her wrongly, no one comes out to stop her and ask what's wrong. Because she is a capitalist lady, everyone avoids her.
The tench also took advantage of the prediction of the villagers to sweep the snow in front of their own houses, so that the Chen family went out of the village generously.
Of course, the children in the village were playing wildly, and the old people were watching the children outside, and when they saw the Fang family, they also disliked her or ignored her for fear of causing trouble. If there is a child following, the old man will call him back.
Of course, there are still adults in the family who can't help but follow Chen to watch the excitement. However, most of these people stopped automatically after seeing Chen leave the village, and only a few naughty and bold boys secretly followed Chen. Of course, if they didn't get close, they all dodged and followed from afar to see what the Fang clan was going to do, so that they could come back and report to the captain and punish the Fang clan who went out of the village without permission.
The tench also took advantage of the curiosity of these half-grown children to let them witness later.
Fang's footsteps were not fast, and the tench had already chosen the place where Chen would jump off later, and the place where she would pick up.
The Fang clan didn't know how to water, so don't think about expecting her to swim farther away and escape ashore and ascend to heaven, she has to count on the tench to come to this matter.
Hiding in a reed and seeing the Fang family coming from a distance, those naughty children who were going to witness Chen's 'suicide' later did not live up to her expectations and followed far behind, and the tench knew that this plan could be done today.
...............
It was just dark, and it was after eating, digesting, eating, bragging, and farting that he obeyed the village entrance and cried and howled.
When the village received those half-grown children who were crying and shouting that Fang had committed suicide by jumping into the river, the whole village was boiling. Especially today, those who watched the excitement were shocked.
Fang's state was not quite right when he left, he didn't expect that the person really committed suicide!
And Menli, the cadre of the brigade who also received the news, immediately organized people to let those boys who 'witnessed' Fang's jumping into the river take them to the place where the incident occurred, and when it was already dark, these people were lighting torches to find Fang's who jumped into the river.
And Chen Shenzhong, who was at home, was ready to cook at this time, and then waited at home to complete his performance.
The tench was afraid that the big guy would be a goof, so he didn't have any other performances at that time, so he was expressionless and stupid.
Chen Shenzhong nodded solemnly.
He didn't want his mother to live in pain every day, he knew a lot about what happened to his mother outside, and sometimes he wanted to commit suicide with his mother and son, and then get free.
But I thought that my grandfather had taken his hand and told him to let him live well, but he couldn't just die. Now that his mother has the opportunity to get out of here and live well, Chen Shenzhong hopes that he will never be the one who drags his feet, he must behave well, so that anyone thinks that his mother has 'gone'.
On the tench side, after picking up Chen in the river, he quickly took her out in the water and swam out along the reeds for five or six miles, making sure that no traces of water would be left behind, and then he was followed to a place on the other side of the mountain, and the two went ashore.
After all, there was a fatality, and the tench was afraid that the public security would come to investigate after reporting to the police. And Chen is not really dead, and the body will definitely be salvaged, and after the body cannot be recovered, there will definitely be people who wonder if Chen is not dead. All of this has to be taken into account.
Therefore, the tench and Chen could not directly find a nearby place to go ashore, they had to stay away from the 'crime site', and they could not leave footprints.
From this side of the mountain turn back to the northwest mountain even further, because the river is against the south mountain. The east side is adjacent to the main road out of the village, and the east mountain is from the side of the village, maybe there will be people on the road, the tench fish planned the next route, for safety and in order to save time they must return to the village, and then enter the mountain northwest of the village, that is, the back of the village.
There are many bamboo forests on this side of Nanshan, go back from Nanshan, and then stick to the west of the village and turn to the route that the tench usually takes into the mountain, and the night is deeper, before entering the mountain forest in the northwest mountain.
The tench asked Chen to wait for her in a cave under a rock cliff. She hasn't gone back so late, and her uncle and Erni must be worried about her. In addition, Chen can't go to the mountains without anything, at least food and sleep are essential.
Although Chen was afraid, she also knew that there were already a lot of troubles with tench, and she couldn't help but know what to do. So, the tench settled her in the cave, and although she trembled with fear, she waited in the cave with her legs crossed, waiting for the tench to pick her up and take her to the valley she said.
She thought to herself, she was not afraid of death, was she still afraid of this bit of darkness! While cheering herself up like this, she really didn't take the gloomy night in the jungle seriously.
And the tench came home here, and sure enough, the people at home couldn't wait for her to come back anxiously, they lived here almost outlied, and they were all behind, but they didn't know about Chen's 'jumping into the river', or they were even more anxious, although the tench often went up the mountain, but she would go home before dark every time, and she had never been so late.
"Why did you come back so late? Did you encounter something in the mountains? Or is it injured? ”
My uncle had been waiting around the corner before, and when he saw the tench, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously like an old mother.
"I'm fine, I'm delayed by something else, do you have food at home? Prepare two portions for me, and by the way, go to our warehouse and bring me the food I can carry, I will be useful. I'm packing some things and leaving, and I'll come back and explain it to you later. ”
In order to compete for time, she didn't have time to say a word to her uncle and Erni, and she couldn't take care of coming back at this time, so she could only go back and talk about it.
