Six, mother and daughter cried

The night in the mountain village is quiet. Boss Zhou, one is that the environment is unfamiliar and cannot sleep. The other is that Xiwa is on the verge of going in and out. Although she is very tired and difficult to fall asleep: Xiwa is indeed good in terms of character, she is reasonable, respects her parents, and is also smart. Although Xiwa's family is a good family in this wok, it is far from the ordinary family in Huangshui County and cannot be compared with the same words as ordinary families. She thought, thinking, thinking, thinking of her hard work and her daughter who was raised to marry into this remote mountain. Thinking of this, her heart is like a knife and tears are like a spring.

She was confused and seemed to walk to a place where there were many people gathering. She squeezed in. She saw her husband Lin Riyao. Lin Riyao saw her in and said, "I was just looking for you. Why are you so cruel to marry your daughter to this ridge of mountains and rivers to suffer? In the past, you lost your family property, so I didn't argue with you. I thought that you were dependent on your mother and daughter for your life, and it was not easy to live. But now you have a better life, but you married your daughter to such a place to suffer! How can I spare you?" As she said that, she raised her hand to beat her, but she did not avoid it. But she was not beaten down, and she was full of grievances, circling and tumbling, thinking that she could really beat her down, and she felt better. She couldn't help crying.

Lin Jie, beside her shouted hard: "Mom, what's wrong with you..." When she woke up, it was Nan Ke's dream, but the pillow next to her was soaked. Lin Jie was asking: "What's wrong with you...Mom!"

"I dreamed of your dad..." Boss Zhou started crying again as he said.

The crying alarmed the sleeping nephew. The little guy was in a good mood. He heard a sad sound beside him and started to make trouble. Boss Zhou hurriedly put away his tears and coaxed his nephew with Lin Jie. After finally coaxing the little guy to sleep, the sky was already white. Lin Jie got up and wanted to help her mother-in-law cook, but in fact her mother-in-law had already prepared the meal. Lin Jie wanted to make some porridge, but she felt that she was not enough milk recently, so she made some porridge soup to solve the hungry little guy... She grabbed the rice and put it into the copper jar, turned around and scooped water into the water tank with a wooden spoon. At this moment, she discovered the situation. There was a snake in the water tank! She was frightened and exclaimed loudly.

Her mother-in-law said, "Don't be anxious, let me do it. As she said, she found a tong tong to clamp it and said that this guy went into the water tank by following the bamboo shoot." It turned out that the drinking water of the people in the mountains was directly used to lead the water to the water tank from the valley. Xiwa's mother said, and put the snake on the side of the mountain gorge and put it on. After breakfast, the housekeeper said he was going back.

Boss Zhou said: "I had to go back as well, but this time I came here and I didn't even see my son-in-law. What's the matter? After thinking about it, I decided to go back tomorrow."

Xiwa's mother said to Boss Zhou: "When Xiwa left in the morning, she said that she would come back early in the afternoon, so she could talk to you..."

The housekeeper said: "It's not easy for you to come here, so you can have a few more days of fun..."

Boss Zhou said: "I have been out for several days. I have been concerned about the inn in my heart. I just decided to go down the mountain tomorrow." "Since that's the case, I'll go back to talk to Master Yang and ask him to pick you up by carriage tomorrow..." The butler said, and went down the mountain.

Lin Jie's son was asleep, and Xiwa's mother said, "My mother is a man who is poor, but the scenery here is pretty good..." As she said that, Lin Jie took her around.

In the morning of early autumn, the air is particularly fresh, and the gurgling stream in the stream in front of the village sings day and night, adding infinite fun to the small mountain village. A small stone arch bridge is built across the stream, connecting several families on the other side of the stream into a whole, making it no longer lonely. In the spring under the bridge, a few ducks are foraging, making the mountain village full of vitality and hope. It is because of this vitality and hope that the people living here have a reason to continue.

They followed the bank of the stream and came to the theater (stage), and Lin Jie said, "I heard that the theater (stage) had never performed a play. Boss Zhou smiled bitterly at the roof of the shed that had been baptized by the years. As the stream went down about a hundred meters, the stream flowed into the Longkeng River, which was descending from the "Ghost Calling Cliff" valley on the left. The mountain springs roared and roared, and a hundred meters down was the cliff of Longtankeng. They sat down on this mountain cliff more than ten meters. They watched the mountain springs rush down the dragon pond dozens of meters deep from here, and the layers of waves rising from the mountain springs. Looking at the mountain chrysanthemums blooming on the opposite mountain, the morning breeze blows slightly, bringing the fragrance of mountain chrysanthemums, refreshing and refreshing.

After watching Jingtian for a long time, Lin Jie's mother spoke first: "Nannan, go back with me!"

Lin Jie was stunned and said, "Mom, you are thinking about it. Xiwa's family is as kind as a mountain to me. How can I leave them alone?" As he said that, tears came.

Lin Jie's mother also shed tears and cried:

"My daughter, the environment is bad. Although the bamboo has been identified as a water tank, the poisonous snake is showing off a hero. The pot and stove are sleeping on the bed, and the feet are placed on the ash stove hall... The wind swept the floor, and the moon is a lamp...... Go up the mountain, go down the mountain, and there is a broom and a basket. You can't see your husband in a month, you can't see your child in half a year, you haven't heard the sound of the drums for a thousand years, and you can't see the play on the shed (table) for ten thousand years!"

Lin Jie cried:

"I have never forgotten my mother's teachings for ten years: I remember the three and four virtues of my heart. Now I will follow the chicken. If I marry a dog, I will follow the dog. Even if I marry a stone, I will carry it with me! Although the environment is not good, life will be hard, if I don't die!"

"It's a pity that life is short. When you have ended your hardships, you will be covered in white hair." After that, he burst into tears: "Nan'er, it was me who harmed you, it was me who harmed you! Husband, I'm sorry to you..."

At this time, A Si ran away from the side and said, "Sister-in-law Xiwa, the little baby is awake and crying at home, afraid he is hungry..."

They wiped their tears and hurriedly ran home...

Xiwa's mother was holding her grandson and coaxing her, but she couldn't coax her. When she saw Lin Jie coming, she was dancing and pounced on Lin Jie, coughing the child, and she was full of energy every day...

7. Boss Zhou asked for instructions on drinking

Xiwa's mother said that she wanted to go to the Niangniang Temple with A Si, burn incense and make a wish. The two children caused trouble last night, and Xiwa's mother said this with fear and fear, looking confused.

In the afternoon, Shen Shixiwa came back from the market and said that it was selling fast today and basically sold out. Only five baskets were left. I was afraid that it would be too late, so I put them at a friend's house until the next market day to sell them together. As he said that, he took out two yellow croakers, two pounds of cuttlefish and two pounds of shrimp from the small basket covered with taro leaves. Then he washed the fish. Xiwa's mother had already brought the pheasants, rabbits and foxes that she hunted last night from the A-Si family.

The family was busy, and in the evening, a sumptuous dinner was ready. Xiwa called A Si over, and they were inseparable from childhood.

Xiwa's father ate on the bed as usual, Xiwa's mother took out sweet potato wine. Boss Zhou made an exception this time and said he would drink a little. After three rounds of wine, Boss Zhou said: "Tomorrow, I will go back. My little daughter Lin Jie, please take care of you in the future. My little girl, I have no father since I was a child, and I have been spoiled and raised, and I have no idea about the worldly style. If there are any inappropriate things in the future, I hope my in-laws and mothers will take care of you more." Then he turned to Xiwa. He said: Lin Jie has been willful since childhood, a young couple, and she should be more humble when encountering things...

Xiwa nodded, Xiwa's mother stole the words: "My daughter-in-law is well-educated. No one in Woshan will say good... It's just that the family will meet with her teeth when eating tofu. If this is true in the future, we will let her, and my mother-in-law can rest assured... It's just that our life here is a little harder, which makes Lin Jie compromise..."

Xiwa said: "Three months later, my father's feet will be almost well. By then, Lin Jie and I will go back to cross the Yang Caizhu's house, and the three bungalows in his back garden will be our residence..."

Boss Zhou said:

"How can you not bow your head under a person's roof? It's the best outside, after all, it's someone else's." As he said that, he burst into tears.

Xiwa saw it and remembered the calligraphy and paintings in the guest room of Xinglong Inn: "I know the depth and shallowness of the river in my own mouth, and I taste the pears and sourness in my own mouth". I didn't feel my nose sour and wanted to cry...

When Xiwa was feeling emotion, Boss Zhou turned around and said to him: "This child must be well trained. If you have the conditions in the future, you must let him study and not let him follow your old path..."

After saying that, Boss Zhou said to Lin Jie: "Xiwa's parents are getting older and should take good care of them in the future. As the saying goes, "You should keep your child from getting old, and you should keep your grain from getting hungry." You should savor this truth carefully. You are a smart person, so I don't need to say more..."

As he said that, he turned to A Si and said, "I know you are as close as brothers to Xiwa. I believe that in the future, no matter what happens to you, both sides will support each other and help each other if you have something to do..." Xiwa and A Si said unanimously: "We will..."

Boss Zhou then drank a little more wine and said that he was drunk and went back to the room to sleep. Everyone felt heavy, and they always felt something was wrong there, and they couldn't tell the Mingtang.

Xiwa's father said: "It seems that my mother-in-law has something to worry about, and she is talking weird. I'm a little worried, afraid that I will leave..."

Xiwa's mother said, "I'm not worried about the others, but A Si and Xiwa took away one of the Bodhisattva's ears and the noses of another Bodhisattva in the temple last night, which really made people feel worried... Although we went to the temple to burn incense and make a wish in the morning, we didn't know what to do... It seems that we should hurry up and do it in time. After dinner, everyone talked about gossip and went to rest. Boss Zhou was lying on the bed, tossing and sighing.

8. Mother and daughter who fell into the water and died of suicide in Longtank

The next morning, everyone was happy and the little nephew started to make a fuss. Boss Zhou hugged and looked, kissed and kissed again. At noon, Xiwa's mother prepared lunch early. After a while, the sedan chair of Boss Zhou also came. Everyone ate a little randomly and prepared to go on the road.

Boss Zhou got into the sedan chair, stopped again, and took off the jade pendant from her neck, saying that it was the amulet her grandmother asked for at Guoqing Temple and put it on her little nephew's neck. Then he got into the sedan chair and said, "This time I leave, I may never come again in this life."

Lin Jie handed the child to her mother-in-law and took her to her mother with Xiwa. When she was sent to Longtank, Boss Zhou said she would take a sip of the fresh mountain spring.

She walked to the edge of the pond, drank a sip of the mountain spring, then cleared her throat and shouted loudly: "Husband, I'm here to find you..." After that, she rushed into the depths of the pond and was submerged in the waves for a while. Everyone was shocked by this scene, and the sudden change was shocked and helpless.

Lin Jie and Xiwa also ran to the edge of the pond. She cried, "Mom, how could you leave me alone?" She rushed into the pond while crying. Xiwa rushed in and pulled her, but she couldn't hold it back. He swam in and drilled into the bottom of the pond, but could not find it. The two sedan chairmen also came to rescue them, and their water quality was quite good and they entered the water together...

For a moment, the entire Woshan Village was alarmed and everyone came to rescue them together: some were holding long bamboo poles, some were holding long ropes, and some were carrying big valley buckets to row in as small boats to get a helper.

Upon hearing the news, A Si rushed into the pool water, and at the bottom of the pool, touching from east to west, from south to north, without even touching, without even half a figure. Later, five young people with good water nature in Woshan Village came, and they discussed with A Si, Xiwa, and the sedan chair owner. A Si said, "Just like this pool, whether it is big or small, everyone swims in this pool together, fighting all day long, and we are not familiar with the corners of the pool? But it happened and it has become a fact. Everyone must search carefully, so everyone lined up and groped from the bottom of the water. They touched from west to east, from south to north, and searched back and forth in the dragon pond. After a while, they searched back and forth in the dragon pond. After a roundabout way, there was no sign of Boss Zhou and his daughter watching the sun set in the west, so everyone had to give up. The two sedan chair owners actually reported to Yang Qianzhu from the mountain.

Xiwa sat by the pond, staring at the pond, listening to the mountain springs flowing down from the cliffs that were dozens of meters high, and what seemed to be telling the coldness of the world and the hardships of the world. He shed tears, recalling the understanding from Xinglong Inn, and later married Lin Jie, Boss Zhou lived a difficult life. He was young and widowed, and worked hard, and the mother and daughter depended on each other for their own lives. He only hoped that his daughter who had raised her grew up would have a good home. But when she found that it was even more difficult to marry her daughter's house. Her heart was torn apart by the ruthless real life, and she completely collapsed. Xiwa suddenly thought about it, and a sense of guilt arose. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

A Si urged him to go back and said, "It's not a solution for you! You have a child in your family! Since things have come to this point, those who die cannot be resurrected, and those who are alive must continue to live!" A Si said, pulling and pulling them together with the young men next to him, pushing them back home.

The son at home was crying, one was hungry, and the other was the child who knew others, especially in the evening, the stranger's face felt insecure for him. When the little guy saw Xiwa, he rushed over, cried and cried, as if telling the complaints in his heart. Xiwa's mother brought a small bowl of porridge and fed the child and said, "Little Guy, from now on, you can only eat this." As she said that, she burst into tears, and the neighbors and people in the village all cried. This was really "the house was leaking and raining all night, but the mast was broken but was windy at the head."

Xiwa ate some sweet potatoes randomly, but he didn't want to eat them anymore. Xiwa's mother took the little guy to bed, but he refused, and made a fuss. Xiwa's mother took her and became more obedient. So she had to sleep with Xiwa. Until midnight, he cried again. Xiwa's mother warmed up some porridge and came to feed him...

Xiwa didn't sleep all night, and when the weather turned white, he got up. His mother had prepared breakfast, which was sweet potatoes. After eating some, he was about to go to Longtank. His mother was afraid that something would happen to him, so she hurriedly called A Si to go with her. When she arrived at the edge of Longtan, she looked at the rippling waves on the surface of the pond and didn't see Boss Zhou's body. It was logical that it should have floated to the surface for such a long time.

A Si said: "Maybe it is unknown that it was rushed downstream by the mountain spring."

"It's unlikely that this mountain spring comes out of Longtan, the water surface is relatively flat, the lower streams are not dropping, and the water flow is not deep..." Xiwa continued: "But since this is the case, it's not okay to go downstream and take a look."

So, they walked downstream along the mountain stream. The streams in the mountain gorge were covered with huge rocks, and the mountain springs were twisting and turns. Although the gurgling sound of the spring echoed among the huge rocks, a corpse was about to float past here, which seemed to be a night of heaven. It would be impossible to have a mountain torrent, but it has not rained for more than ten days now. Despite this, they still searched for more than 500 meters. Seeing that it was really slim, they had to walk back. They sat on the big rock beside the pond, staring at the pond in a daze, as the saying goes, "I want to see the corpse, I want to see people alive." Why is it so clear that I have no trace? Alas, it's really a ghost!

A Si said, "Let's go down the pond and touch it again. Maybe it's too late to touch it today." Xiwa thought, "That's right, it's not like that, instead of just sitting like this, you won't touch it. Sitting like this is indeed not a problem. As he said that, he was about to go down the pond.

Nine, Yang Caizhu set up a mourning hall in Longtan

At this time, a group of people came up from the mountain. When Xiwa saw that it was Mr. Yang who brought the man. Mr. Yang said, "It is no need to go down the pond. According to time, the corpse should have floated up long ago. But it is not floating. If the person is still alive, it is almost impossible. I think there must be a reason. The corpse will float up sooner or later, and if it does not float tomorrow, it will float up tomorrow. If it does not float tomorrow, it will also float up the day after tomorrow. However, instead of waiting, it will be better to handle their funeral first. No matter what, the funeral will be done sooner or later..." Everyone saw that Mr. Yang was right, and they said that they could only do this.

Qianzhu Yang knew that Xiwa was suffering from such a big reason and was completely in chaos. He was a relative and was also called by uncle and nephew, so he came forward to take charge of the matter.

He went to Xiwa's house first and discussed the matter with Xiwa's parents. Xiwa's father said: "You are all in charge of this, but I have a reminder that the mourning hall should be set up in a small house beside the ancestral hall, but because Boss Zhou is not our Yang family, it is inappropriate to set up there. However, Lin Jie is our Yang family, and we can set up in a small house beside the ancestral hall. But considering the simple mourning, it is best to set up a mourning hall between her mother and daughter, so I think we will build a shed from the edge of Longtan as a mourning hall. My mother-in-law's family will have notice..."

Qianzhu Yang said: "There is no one in Boss Zhou's family, only one cousin named Wang, and there is a winery at home..."

"I informed his cousin to come, will something happen?..." Xiwa's father said with concern: "It's certain that people are worried. A good person came to visit relatives and said it was gone. Moreover, even her daughter was gone, and she couldn't even see a body, so she wouldn't believe anyone!"

The rich man Yang said: "It's not appropriate not to notify you. In the future, her cousin will have trouble if her cousin and her daughter are gone. Maybe she will have to sue."

Xiwa couldn't help but say, "I must notify you, both in terms of emotion and reason. If it is a disaster, then you can't hide. You will come sooner or later. Shangruo will inevitably have a lawsuit, and I will take it!" As he said, "Shangruo has a few mistakes, my parents will ask you." Then, he turned around and said to the rich man Yang, "If I am unpredictable, this child will be given to you. Meeting you in this life is a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life. I originally wanted to repay you with great kindness and virtue in this life, but I didn't expect that everything would be shattered. If Shangruo has a next life, I will repay you as a cow or a horse." After that, I burst into tears.

The rich man Yang said: "Auspicious people will have their own appearance, and they will turn bad luck into good luck. Don't think so much." Xiwa was about to inform him, and the rich man Yang said: "You can't leave, you have to discuss the things you have at home. You should take on the burden of this family... You can leave it to A Si to do the matter notifying Boss Zhou and cousin Wang."

Xiwa thought about it and asked A Si to go. Then, Caizhu Yang sent someone to invite a few Taoist monks to save Boss Zhou and his daughter's undead. He asked a few carpenters to make a coffin. Although the body had not been found, the coffin was essential. He also sent someone to ask Feng Shui master to inspect the cemetery. He also asked a few strong men to chop bamboo and build a mourning hall. After a whole afternoon, the mourning hall was built and covered with thatch. It looked like it.

The next day, the Taoist monks and monks came. Then the scene was set up, and the monk in charge asked Xiwa: "Does the "Nine Dragons Conference" and "Tianxi Conference" have any?" Xiwa said: "I don't understand. People in the mountains just write at sunrise and stop at sunrise. Moreover, everyone is not educated and do not understand "Nine Dragons Conference" or something." The monk said: "This is easy. I have a 'thousand's board' now. You just need to call nine women to recite it..." Xiwa said: "None of us here can recite scriptures." "It doesn't matter. Just call me, I will arrange it myself, don't forget to bring a few square tables..." The monk said.

It turned out that the "Nine Dragons Conference" was to gather nine people who recited scriptures, and everyone came to read it together. That day, Xiwa went through the house and finally brought the nine women together, but they didn't know the big words. Therefore, the monk in charge asked a young monk to recite a scripture, and the women below recited a sentence. The other monks and Taoists went to do rituals to save the dead without mentioning it. The young monk was not old, but knew a lot of scriptures. He led the women to recite the "Shousheng Sutra", then spread the "Thousands of Thousands" and put them in front of each person, and posted them one by one. It is said that if you recite these scriptures well, burn these "Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousand

The young monk was ready to recite the "Shousheng Sutra":

"In the thirteenth year of the Guanguan period, Master Sanzang of Tang went to the West to seek advice. Because he checked the Taizang Sutra, there were twelve attributes. Nanzhan Continents were born as humans. They were first under the underworld, and each borrowed money for longevity. There were a life official who only bowed to the human way. Seeing the current storage space, they urged Nanzhan Continents to pay for longevity. Ananda asked the World Honored One again. All sentient beings in the South Continents had great wishes to accept the Buddhist and Taoism. Reading the Diamond Sutra and the "Fengsheng Sutra", they could make money for the natal life, and only realized the power of the sutra. If sentient beings did not take money for longevity, they would be frightened while sleeping, sleeping and dreaming upside down, the three souls were gone, the seven souls were faint, and the smallness of the air, and the words of the deceased were smooth, and they could conquer the soul and destroy the spirit of the man..."

After reciting the "Shousheng Sutra", they recited the Diamond Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, and the "Divine Mantra of Rebirth in the Pure Land":

“Namo Amitabha, Dotagado,

Xi Danpapi, Amirido, Vijara,

Amirido, Virando, Gamiya,

Ghagana, Citagari, Savaha.”

After he finished reciting, he collected the "thousands" that were placed in front of everyone together as a clip. Then he spread out the "thousands" that he had not recited again, and each person had a sticker in front of him, and began to recite the "Sutra of Life", "Diamond Sutra", and "The Mantra of Rebirth in the Pure Land". In this way, it continued. In the afternoon, it began to recite the "Tianxi Assembly".

This was recited for three days. The monk and Taoist priest also performed the ritual for three days. After completing the ritual, they burned some of the "Shousheng Sutra", "Diamond Sutra", "Divine Mantra of the Divine Earth of Rebirth", and "Tianxi Assembly", saying that the undead were asked to handle the matter in the underworld and transform them first. They just waited for the arrival of Wang's cousin Wang, Boss Zhou of Huangshui County.

Xiwa was guarding the mourning hall during the day, so the child had to leave it to his mother to take care of. At night, the child was stuck with Xiwa as usual, and there was no way, so Xiwa had to take it to sleep with him.

Ten, Qing magistrate cut off suspicion

On the fourth day, A Si and Boss Zhou's cousin Wang came and said that he had sued Xiwa. Cousin Wang would not believe anything. A Si would go to visit relatives and actually committed suicide with his daughter. There was not even a body, which made people suspicious. So he filed a lawsuit with the prefect You.

You Hui, the governor of You Hui, was a clean and honest official, so he naturally paid more attention to it. He then brought constables, Zhang Ming, Zhao Hei, Chen Wu, Wang Liu and others to go up to Woshan to observe the scene. When he arrived at the edge of Longtan, You Hui walked around the pond for a week. The surface of the pond was not large, and only five or six acres of land was the size of the land. The water in the pond was between 1 and 2 zhang. According to common sense, a person dived into the water and died, and a corpse would definitely float within twelve hours.

Now, five days have passed when the incident happened! Then, You Hui inspected Xiwa's house, three bungalows, broken tiles, mud walls, and two thatched houses beside him. Although he felt poor, he was considered to be a medium-level and he would not accumulate any accumulation, but eating and drinking was not a problem. Xiwa's father's foot bones were broken and he was in bed to rest. Xiwa's mother, although she was only over fifty years old, had a hard life that made her face full of wrinkles prematurely, and her head was covered with white hair, which faintly revealed her true nature of hard work and kindness. There was also Xiwa who was twenty-year-old, holding the baby who was still in a cradle, and there was no reason to kill his wife, which put him in an embarrassing situation... Then, You Hui asked the people at the scene one by one, and made records one by one. Then he went home and said that he would go to Xinglong Inn, Huangshui County to check out Yang Caizhu's housekeeper, etc.

Two days later, the prefect of You Hui summoned Boss Zhou's cousin Wang, Xiwa, A Si, Yang Caizhu, and his housekeeper and others to make a judgment. Before the judgment, You Hui asked Yang Caizhu's housekeeper to go up the mountain first.

The housekeeper said: "When I went up the mountain that day, the sedan chairwoman sprained his ankle and couldn't carry the sedan chair, so he had no choice but to walk. How easy is it for a woman with small feet to climb the mountain? She almost cried and sang up the mountain all the way..."

Prefect You Hui asked: "Do you still remember her lyrics?"

The housekeeper said: "She sang improvised and sang whatever she saw. I still remember some of it. I may not necessarily learn it all. She sang:

‘I just think it is: crossing the Fuhu Valley Hall, and the fish and rice land is heard everywhere. How do you know: the mountain road is long and steep and high, and you can’t climb the top of the Woshan Mountain! After walking three steps, stop and stop two times, when will you breathe and pant? Three-inch feet are heartbroken, and a few sad voices are heartbroken.…’ The housekeeper said that he stopped here and then continued: “Her crying shocked the pheasants, hares, snakes and squirrels, etc. She continued to cry:

‘When I look at the pheasant soaring into the sky, I see the hare running through the hills. The poisonous snake blocks the way and spits red letters, and the squirrels jump onto the treetops.’

Later, I fell down, my hands were cut by thatched leaves, and I sang again:

‘Place your feet on the stone beach, and your hands are slumped off the thatched mountain; the torched edge hurts people’s hands like a horn, and the green blood dyes the clothes red!…’”

After hearing this, the prefect You Hui sighed unconsciously: "A real talent!" Then he said to A Si: "You also talk about what you have heard and seen these days."

So, A Si recounted the conversation about hearing Boss Zhou and Lin Jie sitting on the cliff of Longtankeng that day. As for drinking that night, Boss Zhou gave each person one by one. At the end of the day, he got into the sedan chair and got down, took off the jade pendant "talisman" around his neck and hung it on his nephew's neck. So...

Prefect You Hui said: "Based on my careful reconnaissance in Woshan, and the observation of Xinglong Inn in Huangshui County, as well as the descriptions of the housekeeper, A Si, and the villagers of Woshan, I think that Boss Zhou died of suicide! From the couplets and calligraphy and paintings of Xinglong Inn, Boss Zhou is very strong, but because her husband died early, she experienced the coldness of the world and the vicissitudes of the world. Therefore, she always hoped that her daughter could have a good home. So, when she found that Xiwa was quick-witted, with a clear face, and was the nephew of Yang Caizhu, she sloppyly betrothed her daughter to Xiwa. Little did she know that Xiwa was a poor boy in the poor mountain valley! And when she discovered this truth, it was too late. So she wanted to take her back

Lin Jie's thoughts, but after more than ten years of mother's teachings, the idea of ​​"Three Obediences and Four Virtues" and "The Fierce Girls' End" is deeply rooted. For the first time, it went against her mother's wishes, which made Boss Zhou feel like he had no face to meet the elders of Jiangdong, which prompted her to strengthen her belief in suicide. When Lin Jie found out that her mother committed suicide, she went against her mother's wishes and caused her lifelong guilt and regret. She wanted to hold her mother's mind, but her mother had no choice but to decide, and Lin Jie had to repay her mother's kindness for raising her with death. This is my preliminary judgment in this case. Now, both of you will settle the funerals of Boss Zhou and Lin Jie as soon as possible. As for their corpses, I will continue to investigate them slowly."

After hearing this, Xiwa burst into tears and fainted several times. The rich man Yang also cried and said, "We will make their graves tomorrow."
Chapter completed!
