You can't see people when you are alive, and you can't see corpses when you die.
Also disappearing together was Hong Bean.
On the day Chengchun fell into the river, the imperial court sent frogmen to search the river. Su Xubai also entered the water again and again. The cold river water made him tremble unconsciously, but he still refused to give up.
Meng Shaoqing and Xu Ziqing came here one after another, and also brought people from their own houses to help them search.
Xu Ziqing looked at the frogman in the water and couldn't help but frown: "Why didn't you see how fierce that woman was before?"
"The rabbit bit someone when it was cornered, let alone such a big living person!" Meng Shaoqing looked at Su Xubai who was struggling to get into the water, and shook his head with some contempt, "Why do you want to die now?
You must find the person alive, what did you do earlier?"
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. He's already in a lot of pain, and you're not making him sad by saying this!" Xu Ziqing patted Meng Shaoqing on the shoulder.
"The most he can do is feel sad. The little girl is dead!" Meng Shaoqing frowned, "She fell into the water in this weather and has not been found for so long. She is still a patient with only one breath left. If the body can be found and brought back, it will be a disaster.
It’s over!”
Xu Ziqing angrily patted Meng Shaoqing a few more times: "I told you to stop talking!"
Meng Shaoqing was very annoyed, so he went to sit at a stall nearby: "I'm tired, shopkeeper, make a bowl of wontons!"
With so many officers and soldiers coming, the people nearby were also trembling with fear, but business still had to be done. The shopkeeper, the lady agreed, and dropped the wontons into the soup.
"I didn't expect that young lady to be from a wealthy family. No wonder she was so fair and fair. I heard that she ran away secretly and wanted to go home. Unexpectedly, she was discovered by her master, so she jumped into the river!"
Several long-term workers came over and sat down while talking.
"Why did you just leave without knowing how to help..." Xu Ziqing came over.
Meng Shaoqing glanced at Xu Ziqing and told him to stop talking.
Although Xu Ziqing was a little strange, he still closed his mouth and sat down beside him silently.
Meng Shaoqing motioned to Xu Ziqing to listen to what the long-term workers said.
"...I heard that that young lady is obsessed with the master's family in all kinds of ways. She even refuses to have your already engaged future wife. I guess she must be someone who is unwilling to marry!"
"It's pitiful to look at. I jumped at the thought of jumping. I lived a good and wealthy life, but I want to go out to seek death. How can I take away the things from this rich man's family? If I become a concubine for others, my life will belong to others.
!”
"Who says it's not the case? This little lady doesn't understand. As a concubine, you must abide by your duties as a concubine. With so many people looking for her, she deserves to die!"
Xu Ziqing frowned slightly: "These people don't know anything, they just talk nonsense!"
Meng Shaoqing glanced at Su Xubai who was not far away: "Look, she is still the one who gets scolded when she is gone, but the person in front of her, who forced others to be concubines and even caused her death, has nothing to do with her.
No!"
Xu Ziqing didn’t know what to say!
Cheng Chun was originally a girl from a good family, but because she was ruined by Su Xubai, she became his concubine. But after she arrived in the capital, no one felt sorry for her plight. They all blamed her anyway, thinking that she was the one who seduced her.
Su Xubai.
"Poor man, even if he is gone, he will be clean!" Meng Shaoqing said helplessly.
It happened that the shopkeeper's wife came over with wontons. She put the wontons down, turned around and said to the long-term workers: "Why are you grown men here gossiping about others like women? Go, go, I won't do your business today."
!”
The long-term worker was confused: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry with us for no reason!"
The shopkeeper ignored him, but the lady in charge of the shop came out and said, "What are you doing? The business is no longer possible!"
"I feel bad!" The shopkeeper's wife sat down on a stool nearby. "That little lady was still smiling when she came to eat wontons in the morning. She just wanted to go back to her parents' home, but she was forced to jump into the river without any problems.
, such a pretty little lady, she just disappeared. I felt so uncomfortable. She even ate two bowls of wontons from me in the morning, and she kept saying they were delicious. She is a real person..."
Meng Shaoqing glanced at the shopkeeper's wife, said nothing, and lowered his head to eat the wontons: "But they are delicious!"
Xu Ziqing on the side sighed: "There are many poor people in this world!"
Meng Shaoqing didn't say anything, just finished eating the wontons silently, paid and left.
Just when he was about to leave, he walked up to Su Xubai. He looked at Su Xubai in front of him coldly: "You should give up. She can't come back in such a cold river! It means you have completely let her go."
Come on!"
Su Xubai didn't speak, just looked at the river with dull eyes.
Meng Shaoqing turned around and left without stopping any longer.
Xu Ziqing couldn't bear it, so he waited until night, when the government had withdrawn its troops, and then left silently.
Waiting until late at night, everyone had left, but Su Xubai was still sitting there alone. Su Xubai also forcibly drove Su Xubai back, so he went alone and sat there silently without saying a word.
When Xie Chengyin came, Su Xubai didn't even raise his eyes, and he didn't say anything. He just walked to Su Xubai and sat on the floor with him.
The ground was quite cold, and Xie Chengyin took a breath of cold air when he sat down.
"Chill!"
Xie Chengyin paused, and then responded: "Well, it's quite cold!"
"I don't know how cold it is in the water!" Su Xubai's eyes were still staring at the river in front of him.
"I know you resent me in your heart, but things have become like this. You can't force yourself to death because of this matter." Xie Chengyin looked at Su Xubai, "Everything upstream and downstream has been salvaged, and no one is alive.
If you die without a body, Su Xubai, go back!"
"She said that I exchanged her life for my future." Su Xubai lowered his eyes slightly, "She must have hated me, but I forgot. She already knew some medicine, how could she not know that she
Where is her body? She would rather jump from such a high place than go back with me..."
Xie Chengyin didn't speak, just looked at Su Xubai.
"She obviously didn't do anything, she didn't do anything wrong, just because she met me... I hurt her, it was me!" Su Xubai took a deep breath, then stood up and walked towards the river, "I
Keep looking, keep looking, how can she bear such cold water? I have to take her home, back to Jiangnan, back to our home!"
Xie Chengyin looked at Su Xubai's stunned look, frowned, and knocked him unconscious with the last palm.
