Two singing Miao songs

The death of the clan mother is tantamount to the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the seemingly peaceful Tengqi clan.

However, within half a day, all kinds of speculations have appeared in the conversations of the clansmen after dinner.Or it could be said that Ruoyu killed Ruo Lin in order to help Ruo Lin get back to normal as soon as possible;As for the "someone" mentioned here, everyone still has a relatively unified image in their hearts.It's just that there are different opinions, and before there is any real evidence, it's just random speculation.

However, the inevitable result of this is the intensification of the conflict between the main family and the branch family.

"You girl from the same family, don't hold the shit pot indiscriminately. It is clear that Ruo Yuna killed the clan mother and got the stolen goods. You still want to deny it?"

"You are the one talking nonsense with your eyes open. Did you see Ruoyu murder someone? If you ask me, your patriarch must be crazy to want to be the patriarch."

In the dining hall, one could always hear the voices of the branch family arguing with the main family, among which the most quarreling was between Hui Niang's family and the main family.A few people even raised their hands when they disagreed.

When the news reached Hui Niang's ears, she changed from her usual look of wishing to rush to the scene immediately, took a leisurely sip of tea, and asked, "Have you notified the saint?"

The person who came didn't understand what Hui Niang was thinking, so he told the truth: "Just now I saw someone from my family ran to inform."

"Yeah." Hui Niang stood up and straightened her clothes, "Run back first so they don't cause trouble. I'll be there soon."

"Yes." The visitor didn't dare to neglect, and ran to the dining hall in a hurry.

When Ruolin heard the news, she was talking with Jiang Mu and Jiang Yu about the situation of the Tengqi clan in recent years.She thought that Teng Qimiaomiao, the most popular saint in the legend, was a solemn and dignified figure, just like her mother.When the clan mother was alive, she always felt that her mother was aloof and difficult to get close to, and she was extremely strict with her.This also made her feel intimidated by the patriarch and grandma, so her feelings were not deep.However, after getting along with each other all morning, Ruo Lin realized that she was wrong, completely wrong.

He Miaomiao is open-minded and cheerful by nature, always with a warm smile on his mouth, which makes people want to get close, which has nothing to do with seriousness.

The death of the clan mother was a huge blow to Ruolin, Ruoyu and Miaomiao who hadn't returned to the village for a long time.But Miaomiao was the first to stand up. She forced herself to smile and encouraged Ruolin to stand up.Now is not the time to wallow in grief.Such a person, even if what he utters is an opposing opinion, Ruolin is sincerely willing to listen.

Knowing the quarrel between the two families in the dining hall, Ruo Lin jumped up to stop them, but was stopped by Miaomiao.

"Ruolin, you don't have to be in such a hurry." Miaomiao pointed out, "If you want to convince others, first convince your heart. If you want to make people feel that the reason is on your side, hold your chest up, be calm and calm, and then convince them with reasoning. "

Ruolin suddenly realized, she took a deep breath, and after she settled her mind, she bid farewell to the two of them and walked to the dining hall.

"Mother, it's rare to hear you say such great truths."

Miaomiao sighed and said, "Ruolin is very smart, but she's just rebellious. Now that she's willing to listen, I'll say a few more words, which can be regarded as educating Amei. By the way, did you teach her the Golden Snake Gu? "

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu hesitated for a long time without saying a word.Oops, he forgot about it again.

This son was born to her, so how could Miaomiao not know what Jiang Yu was thinking, and pretended to be angry: "You have been in the Tengqi clan for so many days and haven't started yet, are you taking what your mother told you as a deaf ear? ah?"

Jiang Yu laughed, and said: "It's still important for the clan mother. My son will first go to Aunt Wan to ask about what happened yesterday." After saying that, he ran away in a flash, and the speed at which he fled away with lightness, Miaomiao couldn't help it. He could only let his son run away without a trace.

After sending Jiang Yu away, Miaomiao was led by her clansmen to a tidy room.In the room, a plump woman dressed as a servant is making the bed.Hearing Miaomiao's door opening, he quickly turned his head and stared at the door.

"Relax, it's me." Miaomiao said helplessly, "Don't be surprised, it's easy to make people suspicious."

The woman smiled: "I overreacted." Then she worried, "By the way, I heard that the clan mother died. What's going on? Is it related to that child?"

"It's not clear yet, I just came to ask you for help." There was a faint anger surging in Miaomiao's eyes.

Even though she forced a smile in front of Ruolin, Miaomiao could no longer suppress her desire to get rid of the murderer who killed her sister.

She must investigate this matter to the end.

In front of the dungeon door, He Yan was holding a bamboo basket, a little timid.The person who opened the door for her saw that she was hesitating, and urged her impatiently.Only then did He Yan realize that she had been standing at the door for a long time, thanked the person who opened the door hastily, and stepped into the dungeon.

The climate of the Tengqi people is humid, so most of the small buildings are built on stilts.But this dungeon was not built artificially, but a natural stone cave in a nearby village.The cave was filled with humidity, and as soon as He Yan came in, she felt that her breathing was sticky and difficult.The space in the cave is not deep, and there are only three cells in the left, right and back. Only the cell on the left where Ruoyu is located has a small natural hole, which is the only skylight in the cave.

At this time, Ruoyu sat down on the bed made of bamboo, his face and hands were covered with dried blood.When the clansmen put him in the dungeon, how could they think of giving him a shower.

In response to the noise coming from the door, Ruoyu raised his head and looked at the person coming, with a calm expression, he had already recovered.It's just that the tear stains on his face remained, which became clearly visible due to blood stains.

"Aunt Yan?"

Ruoyu still has a little impression of this woman who has had several contacts in Jiangnan.

He Yan looked at the haggard Ruoyu, took out the hand towel in the bamboo basket distressedly, and wiped it with water: "Madam and I came here together to help you, but this happened. If you are sad, don't hold it in your heart." , it will be fine if you let it out."

Regarding He Yan's approaching behavior, Ruoyu was a little at a loss. Since he was young, only his mother and grandma would wipe his sweat for him, but that happened when he was very young.What made him even more uncomfortable was He Yan's motherly tone.In order to ease the embarrassment, Ruoyu thanked He Yan for the towel, and wiped off the dried blood by himself.

"What's the situation outside now?"

Being avoided by Ruoyu, He Yan showed a slightly lonely expression.But she didn't forget the purpose of this trip: "There are various speculations about the clan mother's affairs, and there are some minor disturbances in the clan, but Ruolin can handle it. The young master is now going to ask Aunt Wan who is serving the clan mother, and the madam asked me to ask." You, how much do you remember about yesterday and today? Be as detailed as possible."

"So, when he left yesterday evening, my sister was still safe and sound. Besides, I didn't see anyone else entering my room?" Mother Jiang frowned after hearing He Yan's narration.

He Yan nodded.

This is strange.

Mother Jiang thought about it for a long time but didn't come to a conclusion, and was very distressed.She noticed that He Yan was a little too silent, and she knew the reason after thinking about it for a while, and sighed: "You say you, it's fine if you come back generously, why bother to pretend to be a servant to hide your identity. What happened back then is just a mistake." .”

The woman lowered her head and said with a wry smile: "You always persuade me like this. I am not afraid of punishment from the clan, but how dare I ask for forgiveness after abandoning that child for so many years."

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Jiang's mother stopped thinking, frowned and tried to figure out the logic.The dagger stuck on the mother's chest is the most common dagger in the clan. It is just a blade wrapped in coarse cloth, and every household has it.It does nothing to prove the identity of the murderer.

She didn't understand what was so good about being the matriarch of the clan, it made her so courageous that she would rather commit the felony of fratricide than do it.

Now, we can only wait for Jiang Yu to come back and see if there are any directional clues from Aunt Wan.

However, before Jiang Yu came back, another news came.

The pregnant girl Yoon'er slipped and fell by the river, her amniotic fluid broke, which seemed to be a sign of premature birth.

The population of the Tengqi tribe is only a hundred, and the total number of fertile women is less than 20, so it is a big deal for the Tengqi tribe to conceive a child.Hearing this, Jiang's mother rushed to the delivery room immediately.

When she arrived, there were already many people gathered outside the delivery room with solemn faces.Looking from a distance, Jiang Yu was also standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, his expression revealed pity and intolerance.In the crowd, Si Nai cried hoarsely, almost breathless.If it weren't for the support of the women around her, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Jiang's mother approached and inquired and found out that just now, the midwife sent news that one dead body and two lives were lost.

Si Nai who was crying in the crowd was Yun'er's own sister.The two have been very close since childhood, even though Sinai was sent to the family to accompany Ruolin, their relationship has not been affected.Now that Yun'er has passed away, Si Nai is in such pain, which makes the women who have experienced it feel a little sympathetic, and also makes many people sigh secretly that their sisters are of the same heart.

The successive deaths of two members of the Tengqi clan brought a painful blow to the people of the Tengqi clan.

The next few days have been cloudy and rainy, and we can't even see the face of the sun.The humid weather suffocated everyone's chest and panicked.It is rare to see smiling pedestrians walking on the street.

"The world is impermanent."

Today, He Yan came to visit him again, brought him some dry clothes and bedding, and told him what happened a few days ago by the way.

Although Si Nai may have plans for the position of the clan mother, Ruo Yu never regards her and Yun'er as one person.I am deeply moved by Yoona's death and the baby's death.

Before leaving, He Yan hesitated again and again and asked, "Why do you never ask yourself when you can go out?"

Ruoyu looked at the only skylight and replied, "I haven't done it."

Never done it, so don't be afraid.

Haven't done it, so I know there will be a day out.

He Yan returned to the room silently, and saw Jiang Mu and Jiang Yu sitting there drinking tea.

"Are you going to see him again?" Mother Jiang asked with squinting eyes, and then asked herself, "Forget it, I'll know if you don't answer. You still care about this little thing."

He Yan was a little flustered, she glanced at Jiang Yu who was sitting upright, wondering why Jiang's mother said such words in front of him.

Mother Jiang didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, and continued the topic just now: "So, it was Xue Yufeng's family's shadow guard who found Yuner's amniotic fluid by the river and brought her back to the village?"

Jiang Yu took a sip of tea and replied, "Yes. Moreover, he also told me a last word from Yun'er."

The author has something to say:

Could it be that Miss Yun'er's death was not an accident?
