Jiang Nv is indescribable

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuandu's eyes flickered slightly, and his chest couldn't help feeling suffocated.

Forcing himself to harden his heart, he turned his gaze away from her and turned to look out the window.

How did you find out?

Xiao Hu knew that he secretly investigated all the people related to the Jiang family and the Pei family and the places related to them, how could he not know?
While salvaging along the river, they spread their hands, not only in Jingling and Jiangzhou, but also in the whole south and north, and searched all the possible and impossible places for Jiang Nu.

Including Izumo Mountain and Liangqi Mountain Temple.

But I can't find it, I can't find it.

She couldn't think of where else Jiang Nu could go, and in the waste of time day after day, she gradually fell into the quagmire of despair.

She thought about moving her tomb to the north, and remembered that she had agreed to hold another grand wedding ceremony.

Originally, when the Qizhou war was over, he should have gone south to propose marriage.When she wasn't there, he entered Xiao's mansion with her rank in his arms, worshiped heaven and earth, and made great salutes—whether it was a human or a ghost, she always belonged to him.

What does it matter if a returned wife or a violent death cannot enter the Jiang family's ancestral grave?Since he is in the same coffin and cave, he will never let her be that lonely ghost.

It was useless for Xiao Yuanyin to persuasion a lot, but in the end there was nothing to do, so he said: "You really want to do this? Since you believe that she is dead, there is nothing wrong with doing this ghost marriage."

Xiao Yuandu woke up instantly as if he had been slapped in the face.

Having a ghost marriage is tantamount to accepting the fact that Jiang Nu is dead.

If even he believes that Jiang Nu is dead, Jiang Nu is really dead...

However, he didn't want to make such a decision, let alone accept it.So he temporarily gave up his mind, and the search and follow-up continued.

This kind of reluctance can also give myself a hope. It seems that if I persist, sooner or later, I will be able to wait for a ray of light in the long night.

But he overestimated his patience after all.

Since she left, every inch of Yin has been like a year, and every day is getting longer and harder every day.

It is said that things are as serious as getting drunk and resting, even if you are drunk, you can't beat the longing, how can you let it go?
Under the extreme depression, I was eroded by pain day and night, all thoughts were lost, lifeless, and I felt that I could not wait for the ray of sky after all.

In the winter of the ninth year of Fengxiang, Beiliang invaded, and he went out with the army, and once had the idea of ​​"if something unexpected happens, maybe he and Jiangnu can be reunited".

After Beiliang was defeated, he also repelled the Xiangzhou soldiers who came to invade. Xiao Yuandu went back to Jiyuan for a short time, and overheard Zhong Mei ask Xiaoliu: "Do you think people can predict when they are about to die?" ?”

Then he talked about Jiangnu's various arrangements before she left Beidi, and felt that she seemed to have known that something would happen to her...

He does not mean that.

In an instant, Xiao Yuandu slowly came to his senses as if he had been enlightened.

He doesn't believe in foreknowledge, he only believes in premeditation.

"They never dared to mention you in front of me, and I didn't have the energy to pay attention to the affairs of the Xiao residence.

"You have mentioned to me that those few shops are managed by Zhong Mei. However, the operation has also been handed over to Zhong Mei, and there have been a number of personnel changes within the operation... Zhong Mei is right, you seem to be Determined that you will never come back, you know that a farewell is a farewell forever.

"Follow me to think of the letter from Jiangzhou in the spring of the ninth year of Fengxiang. Your mother is really good at comforting people, she knows me very well. Does she know me or you know me?"

Mrs. Bai seemed to have just come out of the pain of losing her daughter at that time.

As for how she got out, she said in the letter: "Recently, I have often dreamed about my grandmother, and in the dream I saw each other across the river, and I couldn't get close. My grandmother looks haggard, her eyes are choked with tears, and she seems to have many worries..."

Mrs. Bai didn't want her daughter Jiuquan's soul to be disturbed, and she dared not indulge in grief any longer.

Before her daughter's accident, she talked with her at night, and mentioned all kinds of Xiao Yuandu. Mrs. Bai knew that Xiao Yuandu was also included in her worries, so she wrote a letter to persuade him to cheer up.

Fearing that he would commit suicide, he also brought up the Buddhist saying that "suicides will never return to life".

Xiao Yuandu really believed it.

It is said that Taoism cultivates this life and Buddha cultivates the next life. If he and Jiangnu are destined to end up like this in this life, then the only hope left for him is the next life, the next life...

But if he can no longer regain his human body, then he has lost even the last bit of hope. What is the use of cultivating the next life?
"And the puppet that came with the letter, have you even explained this? When we parted, you promised to send me a puppet to accompany me. Seeing the puppet is like seeing you. It was too late to do it at that time, or you were just verbal and perfunctory. I didn't intend to leave anything to me. After returning to the Southland, I regretted it. I was afraid that I would really be overwhelmed, so I entrusted this matter to your mother? If I had already walked out at that time, then the letter, the puppet , then there will never be any more?"

The wind leaves a sound, and the geese leave a trace. Jiang Nu is a person who has everything in mind, but she is too thoughtful, which seems deliberate.

Suspicion together, and then look back, found suspicious everywhere.

Jiangnu stayed in Jiangzhou on the grounds of her sickness, and first sent away the Xiao family's soldiers and the entourage sent by Xiao Yuandu, and then arranged for another ship to send Zhu Ji back to Jingling in advance... and in Jiaming Garden, Next to the tomb of Jiang Nu's clothes, there is another tomb of clothes, which belongs to Jiang Qiniang.

Obviously, the "accidents" with Jiang Nu have all been carefully selected.

But after Jiang Nu's accident, Liang Shuo, who went to Nanzhou to open up business, never heard from him again, let alone returned to Jingling.

At first I thought he had an accident in Nanzhou, but is there a possibility that he is Jiang Nu's outpost?

Is it possible that Jiang Nu is simply...

Later, I asked about another matter from Xiutu. When Xiao Yuanyin brought him back from the south, Mrs. Bai told Xiutu in private. A member of the Xiao family.

Xiutu thought it was the care from his ex-mother-in-law, but if there was no Jiang Nu, how could Mrs. Bai care so much about his ex-son-in-law?

There were obviously many abnormalities, but Xiao Yuandu was blindly immersed in the pain of losing his wife and never noticed it.

"Before the war with Xiangzhou, I went south a few days late and missed your memorial day. It was a coincidence that the day before your memorial day, your stepfather occasionally fell ill due to a cold, and your mother was busy taking care of him, even thinking about things for you Forget it all... If she really loves you and loves you, how could she be so negligent?
"Unless she mistakenly thinks that I won't go. If it wasn't for fooling me, she wouldn't want to go to worship at all? Burning paper money and doing things for a daughter who is still alive is unlucky, don't you think?"

"Do you know how I was feeling at the time?!" Xiao Yuandu suddenly turned around, unable to hold back his anger, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, "My suspicions have been confirmed bit by bit, I hope my guess is true Yes, I'm afraid it's true..."

If it was true, how would he face Jiang Nu, who had deceived him, abandoned him, and tried her best to escape from him?

"On the first day of Fengxiang's 11 years, your mother went to Qingfu Temple—strange to say, she clearly believed in Buddhism, but she never added an ever-burning lantern for you. Instead, she prayed for two peace talismans. One was given to your younger brother. , the other one has never been sent, and who is it for? It is written in your small characters.

"The news was delivered to me just as soldiers were entering Liaoyang. I can basically conclude that you, Jiang Liu, are still alive."
