[Sword Three + Seven Five] Medicine does not heal itself

The Tianmen interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flowed eastward here.

The green hills on both sides of the strait are facing each other, and the lone sail is coming.

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River going down the river, Fu Yuxue's depression was relieved a little.

The water and the sky are the same color, and the water of the Yangtze River has no end in sight.Fu Yuxue felt something in her heart, so she took the Xuefeng Bingwang flute and played a song, expressing her feelings directly, and suddenly felt very happy.

"Girl, it's getting dark today, and I'm going to Jiangcheng soon. Are you disembarking in Jiangcheng?" Old Man Chen said.

Old man Chen was a boatman hired by Fu Yuxue in the upper reaches. When he was young, he did some business on the river in this area.It's just that now that he's getting older, no one is willing to take his boat.

There were many boatmen to choose from at the pier, but Fu Yuxue was not in a hurry, so she chose Old Man Chen's boat.

Although old man Chen is getting old, his physical strength can't keep up.However, he spent half his life on the Yangtze River, so he is most familiar with the waters of the Yangtze River.It was going down the current again, and the boat was very stable.

"Jiangcheng? That's good!" Although the river scenery is beautiful, Fu Yuxue doesn't live on the water after all.Sitting on too many boats would also give birth to boredom, so I decided to rest in Jiangcheng for a night.

"Okay!" Old man Chen responded, and walked the boat to the shore.

The river was turbulent, and their boat was small, so they walked along the shore earlier, and it didn't take much effort to stop the boat at the pier.

"There are so many strange things these days, why is the bride walking around everywhere!" Old man Chen said with a look of surprise, shaking his oars.

Fu Yuxue looked to the shore, and sure enough, she saw a woman in a bright red wedding dress standing on the shore.Because of the distance, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she looked graceful from a distance, her figure was very graceful.

Fu Yuxue took a look, and suddenly her expression changed: "Uncle Chen, go over there, that girl is going to throw herself into the river!"

How can a bride walk around alone, this woman is standing on the shore, obviously ready to jump into the water.

"What?" The old man Chen was taken aback, but his movements were not slow, and he quickly moved the boat towards the place where the woman was standing.

Sure enough, the next moment, the woman in red jumped into the icy river with a "plop".

Fu Yuxue: Why do people these days want to commit suicide by jumping into a river or a lake?

That's right, there are no high-rise buildings to choose from in this era, and diving seems to be the most "economical" choice.

If He Bo had a spirit, he would be wronged.In the future, I really dare not drink the water in the river. Who knows what is in it.After all, not everyone is as lenient as the Indians, and the water of the Ganges River with dead bodies floating everywhere can be regarded as the cleanest existence.

The river was so fast that the woman in red jumped into the river and was soon submerged.Rescuing people is like putting out a fire, Fu Yuxue jumped up without hesitation, and rushed towards the place where the woman fell into the water.

It took a lot of effort to fish up the diving woman with the help of old man Chen, but Fu Yuxue's clothes were already soaked.Fortunately, old man Chen is over 60 years old, and he and the woman who fell into the water are both wearing dark clothes, so it is not easy to get naked.

Fu Yuxue carried the woman into the cabin, and old man Chen lit the cooking stove on the bow and placed it at the cabin door.

Fu Yuxue didn't care about the wet clothes on Dali's body, and directly pressed her hands on the abdomen of the woman in red, pressing the water out of her stomach.

The woman in red spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, coughed a few times, and woke up leisurely.

"What is this place? Why am I here!"

Fu Yuxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw someone woke up, and said in a bad mood, "I fished you out because you jumped into the river."

Fu Yuxue closed the hatch with one hand, because the woman in red was also a woman, so she didn't have many taboos.He took off his wet clothes sideways, and changed into dry clothes from the package.

Although the system provides packages that can be used, this kind of thing is too shocking.Fu Yuxue usually prepares a luggage as a cover.Now, I have changed my clothes, but it is impossible to "change" a set of clothes.

The river water in April was still biting, she was suffering from cold and dared not wear wet clothes for too long, so naturally she changed first.

Fortunately, the place where the woman in red threw herself into the water was not many miles away from the pier.In the evening, the river is rushing, but it's time for half a cup of tea.Fu Yuxue put the stove next to the woman in red to warm up the fire. Fu Yuxue took the money and asked Old Man Chen to buy some clothes from a nearby tailor shop.

After waking up, the woman in red only said a word to Fu Yuxue, and kept warming quietly by the fire without saying anything.There was neither crying, nor looking for life or death.

Fu Yuxue didn't seem to ask her why she threw the water, because there was really no need to ask.

Old man Chen was very familiar with the neighborhood, so he bought clothes and came back soon.

The woman in red changed her clothes, wrapped her wet clothes and still didn't speak.

Fu Yuxue got up and said, "I'm going to get off the boat, and you, a girl, are not fit to stay on the boat."

The woman still didn't speak, but stood up holding the wet clothes package and stood beside Fu Yuxue.

Fu Yuxue paid the boat fare, bid farewell to old man Chen and went ashore, and the woman followed her ashore.

Fu Yuxue originally wanted to leave by herself, but she couldn't bear to see her standing on the pier with a bag of wet clothes in her arms with a dazed look on her face.

"What's your name?"

"Yunniang!" Yunniang said softly.

After resting for a while, the voice was not as hoarse as it was when he just woke up, but unexpectedly pleasant to the ear.

"Yunniang, if you have nowhere to go, why not come with me!"

Yunniang hesitated for a moment, nodded, and followed Fu Yuxue's footsteps.

Fu Yuxue couldn't help laughing: she really followed her, and she wasn't even afraid that she was a bad person.

When the two arrived in Jiangcheng, Fu Yuxue asked for two upper rooms with the shopkeeper, and asked someone to prepare hot water for washing.

Fu Yuxue is beautiful, no matter where she goes, she is easy to attract attention.It's just that Yunniang walked with her, but most of the pedestrians looked at Yunniang.

Yunniang looks only twenty-eight years old, with a graceful figure and a pleasant voice.A pair of big eyes seem to be able to speak, fair skin, it is reasonable to say that she is a rare beauty.

But beauty cannot tolerate the slightest flaws, Venus is beautiful, because what she broke was an arm, if she lost her nose, she would not be beautiful.

Yunniang did not have a broken arm, and she also had a nose, but she was born with a cleft lip.

It was also because of seeing Yunniang's face clearly that Fu Yuxue didn't ask Yunniang why she wanted to die.

Marriage in this era pays attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Many young people have never met before they got married.Some even just listened to what the matchmaker said, and even the elders did not meet in private.

Yun Niang is probably the victim of this kind of blind marriage, and her parents married her off.However, the groom's officer lifted the hijab to find out that the bride had such a serious disability.

As for why Fu Yuxue was so sure that Yunniang was married before throwing herself into the water, the reason is also very simple.Yunniang's cleft lip is natural, she didn't jump into the water before, but now she is wearing a wedding dress.Apparently it was because she had already accepted the reality of a harelip, but she was rejected by her husband's family when she got married, and she didn't dare to go home.

Fu Yuxue hadn't planned to stay in Jiangcheng, but she didn't expect Yunniang to be sick the next day.She had to stay in Jiangcheng for a day and prescribed medicine for Yunniang. Fu Yuxue took the money and asked Xiaoer to buy the medicine and boil it, and then went down to eat by herself.

"Do you know? Yesterday the crippled son of County Magistrate Liu got married, and the bride disappeared."

Fu Yuxue just sat down when she heard the guests at the next table talking in a low voice.

"It must be the bride who disliked Cripple Liu and ran away!" Another person said disdainfully.

"Even if someone like Liu Laizi is the county magistrate, who is willing to marry his daughter to a good family?"

"I heard that Mrs. Liu made a lot of effort before, so she asked the matchmaker Wang in the city to tell a girl from the county magistrate's family in the next county. However, the strange thing is that the family sent the bride and left quickly. I heard that The bride disappeared in the new house!"

"Then county magistrate Liu didn't ask people to look around? The bride must have escaped because she found out that Lame Liu was a lame man, right?"

"Who said there wasn't one? I didn't find it after searching, but that lame Liu didn't feel sad at all when his wife flew away."

"It's so so if Liu Zizi doesn't have a wife, he's not going to be a groom every night." One of them said with a strange smile.

Fu Yuxue felt disgusted when she heard this, feeling that the son of Jiangcheng county magistrate is not only a cripple but also a dandy who hangs around brothels.

But, could the missing bride be Yunniang?

This is possible, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that the Liu family lost a bride, and she picked up a bride in the lake?

Fu Yuxue ate something, strolled around Jiangcheng, and then went back to the inn early.

After resting for a day and a night, Yunniang's health improved a lot.Fu Yuxue asked the shopkeeper to help hire a carriage and go to the next town.

"I'm going to Tokyo, will you follow me, or go home and find your parents?" Fu Yuxue asked.

Yun Niang glanced at her timidly, hugged her new wedding dress that had been dried and said nothing.

Fu Yuxue sighed: "Then come with me!"

Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief and followed Fu Yuxue's footsteps.

The carriage shook violently, and Fu Yuxue was lying on the mattress drowsy.Yun Niang sat in the corner of the carriage holding her small package like a little daughter-in-law.

"Yunniang, what are your future plans?" Fu Yuxue suddenly opened her eyes and asked.

Yun Niang trembled like a frightened little rabbit: "I, I don't know?"

"Are you really not planning to go home?"

"My father has always wanted to marry me, but—" Yun Niang said with tears, "I am so ugly, after all, my father heard that the son of the Liu family is a cripple, so maybe he would not dislike me, so he married me But although Mr. Liu is lame, he has a beautiful cousin beside him."

Fu Yuxue: This really comes from life.

"So you want to die?"

"Master Liu kicked me out, but my father would not want me to go home. My father has always wanted to marry me off, just because he was afraid of delaying the marriage of his younger brothers and sisters."

A [-]-year-old girl is not tolerated by her husband's family and her mother's family, and has nowhere to go. No wonder Yunniang chose to throw herself into the water.

Fu Yuxue sighed, Yunniang's cleft lip was actually not serious.After millennia, a little surgery could fix it.But in this era, she can only be dismissed because of such a little disability.

It's fine if you're a man, you can always survive, but this world is always harsher to women than men.

Fu Yuxue originally thought that she was a cold-hearted person, but when she met a poor woman like Yunniang, she still couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
