She had worked so hard to conceive a child, such a petite and lovely girl, and lost it?

Ah Fan swore to die, holding Mengran and shrinking in the corner and not letting go. And then the young lady who came out of a rich family, at this time, she also ignored the image, if a man came to snatch a child, she would shout indecent manner, and if a woman came to rob, she would shout murder.

The father-in-law and the village chief chatted privately for a long time, glancing at them from time to time.

After a short break, the village chief came to her as if he had softened his attitude, and came to her, "Then let's do a ritual." You raise her until she is three years old, and then you will talk about it!"

The goddess blew and blew, burned incense and sprinkled water, and danced with words in her mouth for a full hour. After finishing the meal, I collected a lot of money before swaggering away.

Because of the extra money, the father-in-law hated this daughter-in-law even more in his heart. But he didn't hate the goddess who ate and drank and begged for money, because he believed that the money was for the gods, and the goddess was capable and would not lie to him.

After the witch and the village chief left, Ah Fan temporarily put her mind at ease, but she was also wary of her father-in-law from time to time. Who Cheng thought that after five days, she saw her father-in-law go out, she just went to the vegetable market, and after less than a cup of tea, the child disappeared when she came back.

The father-in-law and a few strong men were eating tea very proudly at the door. The mother-in-law patted her thigh: "As soon as you left, he came back with someone, and the child ran away for them!"

It turned out that what she said before just made her relax her vigilance, and when her father-in-law went out, it only made her think she was safe!

Ah Fan hurriedly turned around and wanted to go out to look for it, but a stuffy stick behind her knocked her unconscious. When she woke up, it was the next day, and she was tied up in her room.

The father-in-law said that the goddess calculated that she also had the evil spirit of the child, and she had to get rid of the evil spirit, and tied her with garlic. This bundle lasted for two days, the doors and windows were locked, and there was no water to be given.

This Yangjia Village, it is the head of Yang Village who has the final say, who dares to have a good heart to meddle in things?

On the third day, the mother-in-law was afraid that she would starve to death, so she came in to bring her food, and said with tears in her eyes: "Good boy, He'er and He'er and his grandfather are in the sky, and they must not want to see our family separated! ”

She stumbled along the way, and halfway through she saw a few men who had tea with her father-in-law yesterday, who had just returned from the field with hoes.

She rushed to them and stopped them, "What about my daughter, where have you taken my daughter?"

"It's been thrown to Guangji Temple, and it has long been picked up, and a note is stuffed in the swaddling clothes, saying that the child is either lost or wanted, so that the person who picks it up doesn't have to bring it back!

She cried out, "You crazy people! That's my daughter! You give my daughter back......"

"It's not for your good! I don't know what to do, stinky bitch!

Those people felt that since she gave birth to a child, she has become more and more charmless, haggard all day long, and her figure is a little out of shape. At this moment, seeing her hysterical appearance, he looked down on her even more, pushed her to the bottom of the ridge, and left one by one.

Ah Fan Wei got his feet, climbed up from under the ridge, didn't care about those men anymore, was full of concern for his daughter, wiped away his tears, and limped to Guangji Temple in Cuiluo Mountain.

Of course, the child can't be found. Since then, Ah Fan has wandered outside Guangji Temple every day, unwilling to go back. For a while, she still cried and cried every day, but then she lost her mind a little, and her tears were gone, just repeatedly stopping people and asking repeatedly.

When everyone went to Guangji Temple, they could see her muttering: "Mengran...... Mengran...... My dreams...... Where are you...... My mother misses you so much......"

"This little master, have you ever seen my daughter, she is only a little old, and she was lost by those ruthless dog things......"

"Oh my God...... You let Mengran come back...... Even if she is killed, I will raise her to grow up, watch her find Ruyi Langjun, take her hand and send her to marry......"

People say she's crazy, but she doesn't care about other people's eyes, she just wanders around day after day, asking questions when she sees people, and talking to herself when no one is around.

"Good Samaritan, have you ever seen a beautiful little baby, her name is Mengran, she is my daughter......"

"How can you send her away like this, she is my only blood relative...... Such an older child, what should she do if she suffers any grievances and misses her mother......?

Three years later, Fan's mother-in-law died, and she didn't want to see the ruthless father-in-law more. So people found that the crazy woman who wandered outside the Guangji Temple every day was missing.

No one knows where she went. Maybe she went elsewhere to find her daughter, maybe she committed suicide, or maybe she finally wanted to open and remarry.

That's what people think about it. Who knows? Although she is now willing to degenerate and does not look like a person, she was born well, had a good temperament, and was beautiful, and she still had many suitors before she officially married Su He.

The men pouted their yellowed teeth, their eyes flashed with smugness, and they summed up very firmly: "Women, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless! ”

In short, after many years, when people come to Guangji Temple to worship the Buddha again, they will still talk about the crazy woman, because most people don't know what her name is, so they just call her "Mengran Niang".

The world is vast, and it is half a life. How many people have become old people, and how many things have been passed down from generation to generation. Mengranniang has also become a more and more mysterious story in Yangjia Village, and her image is also said by everyone.

Later, the story faded.

At the end of the thirtieth year of Shaoxing, Luzhou City.

On the outskirts of the city, an old woman walked aimlessly, carrying a basket of wildflowers.

She has wandered in Jiangnan for many years and has lived in many cities. In the past two years, she has been in Hezhou City, and because of the war, she had to go south. The pace was slow, no one asked, and she didn't know where she had gone.

Two hours ago, she met the Jin soldiers on the road, because her pace was slower, she couldn't dodge in time, and was kicked to the side of the road by the soldiers, and broke two ribs.

Now that the war is in chaos, she knows that her time is running out. But she was just thinking that if God opened her eyes, it would be nice to reward her for seeing her daughter again......

The basket is filled with wildflowers that she has collected, and this season is not as good as spring, and there are really few seasonal flowers. In order to prevent it from wilting quickly, she also sprinkled some water droplets on it, which looked particularly cute.

As she was walking slowly, a delicate girl came down from the hill and stopped her. She cheered up and asked, "Do you want to spend it?" ”

"The war is chaotic, how can my mother-in-law sell flowers in this suburb?"

She looked at this girl carefully, she was very delicate and dignified, if her dream was still alive, she would probably be so old.

In the chaos of the war, she asked her why she was selling flowers here, and why was she a little girl here alone?

She smiled and replied, "Girl...... Sell flowers in this life, and be beautiful in the next life......"
