This time, the yamen runner, whose future was in jeopardy, was not the only one feeling heavy-hearted. Another relative of the victim was also there.
When we counted the number of people before departure, we found that a little girl was missing.
Thinking of the other person whose face was burned beyond recognition, her aunt burst into tears.
The bailiffs did not dare to beat or scold him anymore, so a strange scene emerged.
A woman cried and cursed all the way! A man hung his head and remained silent all the way!
The crying continued until the noon break, when the woman was tired and stopped. She sat there and ate a lot of dry food, then stood up and told Ye Erniang that she was going to the bathroom.
Ye Erniang didn't think much about it. She untied the rope for her, took her to the edge of the woods, and waited there.
After waiting for a long time for no one to come out, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
When I ran in, I saw that the body that was still swaying on the branch was now motionless.
Ye Erniang's eyes were red as she clenched her fists. Thinking of that child who was only a little over ten years old, she couldn't help but punch the tree trunk hard. Blood immediately flowed out.
Returning to the crowd again, she walked up to the male yamen runner and looked at him.
The man was just getting annoyed when he saw her standing in front of him and asked angrily:
"Why are you staring at me? Can't you see I'm in a bad mood?"
Ye Erniang didn't say anything, she just grabbed his clothes and pulled him into the woods.
Everyone was stunned. Is Ye Erniang lonely in broad daylight?
When the man saw the person in the tree, he collapsed to the ground. He said absentmindedly:
"It's over. It's all over."
At this time, Du Mei also came over and pursed her lips when she saw this scene. She helped Ye Erniang, who was climbing the tree, to carry the body down and back to the crowd.
Only then did everyone understand what was going on.
Is this mother using her own death to avenge her child?
This is the last dignity for the mother and daughter!
Everyone came together with heavy hearts to help take off the belt from their necks, tie it back around their waists, dig a hole, and bury it!
Wen Xi took advantage of the chaos to secretly give Ye Erniang a bottle of golden medicine.
Looking at her bloody hands, she didn't know what this woman with a miserable face had experienced, but she was definitely a person with a story, which made her feel a little distressed.
Finally arrived at the destination after more than ten days.
Along the way, we have experienced too much human warmth and coldness, life and death. When we arrived at the place, everyone seemed to have lost their direction in life and didn't know where to go!
At this time, Ye Erniang suddenly collapsed. The doctor she consulted could not explain the cause of the disease. He said that since she was coughing so badly, she might have caught a severe cold.
In this era, colds represent incurable diseases, and if they are severe, it is practically a death sentence.
Ye Erniang told the other two yamen runners that she wasn't going back. She was going to die anyway, and it didn't matter where she died. She was alone at home, so there was nothing for her to worry about. She just wanted them to help her get her name removed from the yamen register after they returned to Beijing.
They both knew her situation, and it wasn't like this hadn't happened before. They just felt bad for her.
The place where they were exiled was a small county in northern Xinjiang called Chuanshan County.
It is basically divided into two parts, the southern part is the world of exiles, and the northern part is the gathering place of local people.
It's not an exaggeration to say that we don't interact with each other. After all, if we live in the same place, there will always be some overlap.
Moreover, many beautiful prisoners could not endure the hardship and always had to find a way out. Hence, it became a well-known secret that wealthy men in the north secretly married women from the south.
Those who are excluded or cannot survive in the north will come to the south to make a living.
The three branches of the Gu family were assigned to different places in the south, while the eldest branch was assigned to a small village called Kongshan Village.
After reporting to the yamen, the yamen runners negotiated with the village chief of Kongshan Village, and then handed the household registration certificate to each individual, reminding him:
"You are all registered as criminal slaves, so it's best not to leave the Northern Frontier. Of course, even if you leave, you won't be able to survive. Now that you're here, your previous household registrations no longer count. So if you still want to be a family, report to the village chief. If you want to start your own household, that's fine too. The village chief will register with the government for you."
After saying that, the two of them left.
When they came, they had to walk because they were carrying prisoners, but when they went back, the post station would prepare carriages and horses for them.
So the two of them went to the inn to see Ye Erniang, who seemed to be in poor condition, and then they set off on their return journey.
