"I lay on the kang and didn't close my eyes all night.

"In the morning, when I heard a commotion outside the door, I got up and went out of the hall.

"The gate was full of people, and a few children ran out into the yard and played with the horses with straw poles.

"When they saw me come out, everyone talked about it.

"Some said, 'Oh, you see, he's really back.' ’

"Some said: 'I kidnapped the woman, and he was embarrassed to come back.'" ’

"Some said: 'I don't know if Yuhua has returned. ’

"Some said: 'These two people are really shameless, and they actually eloped. ’

"Suddenly, someone from behind the crowd said, 'Have you seen enough, what should you do?' People elope or not, what does it have to do with you if you want to be shameless. ’

The people listened, and made a way at the gate, but did not disperse and left.

"It was Aunt Zhen who walked in the gate, and when she came in, she said to the children in the courtyard, 'Go, go outside, play.'" As the children ran out, Aunt Zhen closed the door and bolted it shut.

"Aunt Zhen came to me and asked, 'Why are you still here?'

"I lowered my head and whispered, 'I can't just disappear, I can't let Yuhua wait for me for the rest of my life, just like you wait for He Lang. ’

The words came to Aunt Zhen's heartache, and she burst into tears.

"Aunt Zhen cried and cried out, 'Then do you know that I waited for my daughter to wait for a painful time? She is the hope of my life, but you are so cruel to take her away. You give my daughter back!'

The people who were lying on the wall and watching the excitement began to shout.

"'Did he kidnap Yuhua and sell it?' ’

"'Maybe he has poisoned Yuhua, the Buddha looks honest on behalf of this person, how can he do such a thing. ’

"'Yizhen, I think it's better to report to the official, you can't ask such a reason. ’

"Aunt Zhen looked at the wall and shouted, 'Get out of here, all of you. ’

"The heads on the wall disappeared behind the wall one after another.

"Aunt Zhen said: 'Buddha Dai, last night I gave you a choice, let you leave here by yourself, and you didn't listen. Today I can only figure out how to make you disappear on my own. I have already reported to the official early in the morning, so I have wronged you to stay in it for a few years. At the same time, forget about Yuhua. When I rescue Yuhua, I'll find a way to make her forget about you. I won't let them treat you badly if you're inside, I've already taken care of the cell, and you'll stay in it for the rest of your life. Don't blame Aunt Zhen, I really can't help it. You know, the inheritance of Ximu cannot be broken, I don't want the mantle of Ximu to be interrupted in my hands, then I will be a sinner through the ages. ’

"Someone outside the gate is banging on the door. I ran over and opened the door.

"There was a man coming in through the door, and I felt a little familiar.

"When Aunt Zhen saw the coming, she hurriedly met him, took the man by the hand, and said, 'Sister Weising, why are you here?' I had a hunch yesterday that you might come in the next two days. ’

"Only then did I remember that it was the Ximu Weixin I had seen in the Rootless Mountain, that is, the Rootless True Man.

"I saluted the rootless real person and said, 'The rootless immortal is polite. ’

The rootless man saluted me back, shook his head and sighed when he saw my downcast.

Then he said to Aunt Zhen, 'Shouza, you can't do this to this young man. He is now in the prime of life, and you have ruined his life like this. ’

"Aunt Zhen didn't answer the words of the rootless real person, and asked, 'Is Sister Weixin passing by temporarily this time or is there something to do. ’

"The rootless man said, 'I came all the way. Seeing this young man here today, I guess you know everything. ’

"Aunt Zhen said, 'You mean about Yuhua?'

"The rootless real person said: 'It's Yuhua's business, but to be exact, it's the business of the two clans. ’

"Aunt Zhen said: 'I don't care about the rest, I only care about Yuhua's safety. You follow me to save Yuhua. ’

"Rootless Majin was a little excited, and she said in a slightly trembling voice, "Shouza, your idea is wrong and dangerous. If the Wa royal family ignores the conflict between the human races and allows it to develop, the crisis in the world will suddenly come. This dispute between the two ethnic groups must be settled by some means. Otherwise, we would be remiss in our duty. ’

"Aunt Zhen said, 'Sister Weixin, did you come with me today to save people, or did you quarrel with me. The only thing I have to do now is to get my daughter back and make her the successor of the first Ximu, otherwise I will be really derelict in my duty. ’

"The rootless man said: 'Let me say this, judging from the recent events, I feel that Yuhua is not necessarily the one who inherits your mantle. The real heir, Nuwa Niangniang will send it to you when the time comes. ’

When Aunt Zhen heard this, she said angrily, 'Ximu Weixin, seeing how many years older you are than me, I call you a sister. But don't teach me a lesson just because of this. I don't need you to dictate my own inheritance issues. Today I will go to the southwest mountains to save Yuhua, if you want to go, then go with me, if you don't want to go, go with your business as soon as possible. ’

"The rootless real person was also moved and said: 'As an example of Ximu, you are so rigid and self-serving, and you don't listen to people, I have nothing to say to you. ’

With that, he walked to the gate.

"As soon as I was about to go out, the patrol room arrived.

"The lead patrolman asked, 'Where are the prisoners?'

"I said, 'You're here to get me.'" ’

"The lead patrol came up to me, circled around me, and said, 'Tie it up and take it away!'

"A couple of patrolmen came up and tied me up.

"I saw Aunt Zhen crying behind a pillar under the eaves.

"The rootless man ran up and shouted, 'He's not a human criminal. ’

"The lead patrolman asked rhetorically, 'He's not, are you?'

With that, he escorted me out of the gate.

"Above the lobby, a large man in military uniform sat in the center, behind him stood an officer standing upright, and next to him sat two clerks at a small table.

"I stood in the middle of the hall with two escorted patrolmen. The lead patrolman, Aunt Zhen, and Rootless Zhenren sat on the bench by the lobby.

"The old man asked, 'What crime has man committed?'

"The patrol of the hall said: 'Abduction and trafficking of people. According to the people in their village, this person is also suspected of murder. The woman he abducted has not yet been found. ’

"The great lord asked, 'Where did you take the woman to be taken by you, dead or alive, sold or killed?'

"I didn't make a sound.

"The old man asked again: 'If you don't speak, is it considered that you have confessed to murder?'

"Seeing that I didn't speak again, the old man shouted: 'Since he has recruited, let him sign and draw the pledge.' ’

"The clerk above came to me with a confession.

"I thought to myself, for the sake of Yuhua, I didn't choose to disappear last night, right. Although I am imprisoned today, I may have to spend it in the future, but at least Yuhua knows where I am. She may be sad and miserable because of this, but at least she will not endure endless despair.

"I resolutely drew a charge on the confession. ”
