Chapter 168: The Abandoned Baby
Although the weather is warm, after all, it is a cold spring, and after a while, the cracks in the bones of the orchid buds seem to be leaking out of the wind, and the pain is like a pinprick.
Hai felt sorry for Lan Ya, sneaked into Widow Liu's house, and said to Widow Liu, who was dressed in red clothes and sitting on the kang: "Second and second sister-in-law, do you have a family sheng here that can be cushioned under your knees, Lan Ya will kneel down like this, and her knees will be damaged by stones." ”
Widow Liu raised the pale bride's face, frowned impatiently, she heard what happened just now, she was very unhappy.
Obviously, she married herself, waiting for the groom's official to be spoiled, and when the tea was served, the He family did not have a good face, but fortunately, the Zhang family and Yu Daguang were not bad for her.
The people who came to pay the salute were waiting to eat the noodles, and ran out of an orchid bud to stir up the situation, fell on Yu Caihe, and saw that they were about to give birth in the big house.
People are fine, everything is easy to say. After Yu Caihe gave birth to a child, he couldn't move his nest for a month, he could only confinement in the big house, the Zhou family was rich, so he couldn't lose his concubine and son, and he also borrowed it.
But if a person dies and is pregnant, this matter is unspeakably unlucky.
When she was in an unhappy mood and was uncomfortable, Hai asked her as a bride for something to pad her daughter's knees, Widow Liu raised the corners of her eyes, and said in a strange manner: "Third brother and sister, this mouth is a bit unauthentic, right?" I'm a bride, everything is new, and Lan Ya has just been born prematurely, and I'm also pregnant, so I'm not afraid of sticky? ”
Hai's eyes turned red when he arrived, obviously Lanya was a fortune fairy child in Yujia Village, when did he become an unlucky person again? Don't even borrow anything?
Hai was afraid that the tears would fall and be ugly, so he stumbled out of the new house, and his breathing felt throbbing.
There was finally a burst of baby crying in the house, but Zhang and Wen Po did not come out for a long time, the people outside the house were even more nervous, and the round-faced little maid's face was even more miserable, and all kinds of bad speculations came to mind.
Seeing that there was no news for a long time, Lan Ya hurriedly stood up, knelt for a long time, her legs were numb, and she almost fell, but fortunately, Lu'er on her side helped her in time.
Hurriedly ran to the door of the house, and after a while, Wen Po pushed the door and said with a gloomy face: "The child is gone, it's a boy." ”
Lan Ya's hands and feet were cold, and she heard the cry just now, why did the baby die in just a few breaths?
Zhang Shi hugged a small body wrapped in a tight quilt, his expression flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and handed the small thing to Yu Xiaoguang and said: "The child is too young to enter the cemetery, you can throw him at the foot of the mountain and come back." ”
Yu Xiaoguang took the little burden, didn't even look at it, and went in the direction of Qixing Mountain with it in his arms.
Yu Sanguang's eyes glanced at Lan Ya on his side, Lan Ya's eyes were stunned, flashing with deep remorse, if it wasn't for his willful dodge, he was honestly beaten twice by Yu Caihe, maybe the child could be born peacefully.
Yu Sanguang's palm was raised, and finally stopped in mid-air without falling.
Lu'er stood in front of Lan Ya with her chest straight, as fierce as a female leopard guarding her calf, her eyes flashed with a thick momentum, which was an innate inviolable murderous aura.
She blocked Yu Sanguang, but she couldn't stop the crazy Zhang, her nails cut at Lan Ya's cheek like a blade, and a long blood mark immediately appeared.
When she scratched the second time, Lu'er had already turned around quickly, her palms were split, and she stood in front of Lan Ya like a person from the rivers and lakes and said, "Who dares to be unfavorable to Miss, I will be the first to let her see the king of Hades." ”
Yu Sanguang sneered: "Our Yu family can't afford to provide for fairy children, you, let's go." ”
Yu Lanya was stunned: "Dad, you, what do you mean?" ”
Zhang said angrily: "What do you mean? It means that you are a broom star who was expelled from your home, in the future, don't bother us with the rest of the old Yu family, it's not enough to kill one grandson, don't you still hinder my other eldest grandson? ”
Meaningful, of course, it means the one in Widow Liu's belly.
Yu Lanya couldn't help but look in the direction of the new house and smiled bitterly.
Yu Daguang rushed to the door with an arrow and closed the doors and windows of the new house, as if if Lan Ya looked at her, Widow Liu would be poisoned and sticky.
The villagers who came to congratulate were also discussing, some disagreed, some doubted, and some thought they nodded.
Lan Ya took a deep breath and said calmly to Sanguang: "Dad, I know what you said is angry, you calm down first, and I'll go home first." ”
Walking out of the courtyard gate, he turned back in the direction of home with a worried expression.
A small figure bumped up from the oblique thorn, saw that it was Lan Ya, hurriedly pulled Lan Ya's sleeve, looked at no one around, and then carefully said to Lan Ya: "Lan Ya, I and my mother were digging Qu hemp at the foot of the mountain just now, and I saw your uncle sneakily carrying a small burden to the foot of the mountain, and took a stick to dig the pit, as if he was going to bury that thing." It's a little far away, my mother vaguely heard the cry of a child, I wasn't sure, let me report the news, she stared first. ”
Lan Ya hurriedly pulled Xiaoyi's arm and ran towards the foot of the mountain, her heart beating like gongs and drums, and her mind was stirring and messing up.
If it is the child's cry that is heard, then it means that the child is still alive? However, knowing that the child was still alive, why didn't Yu Xiaoguang take it back to Yu Caihe, but secretly dug a pit?
Where did Lan Ya dare to slack off, she simply picked up Xiaoyi and rushed towards the mountain like a leopard, and the heron was panting behind heron.
A quarrel was heard from a distance at the foot of the mountain, Lan Ya quickened her pace, jumped to the source of the sound, her face was already swollen red, and her breath was uneven.
In a forest at the foot of the mountain, next to a pit half a meter square, Jia and Yu Xiaoguang were at a standpoint, and what they were fighting for was the small burden that wrapped the child, and the weak cry of a baby was intermittent.
Lan Ya's face turned pale, and she hurriedly rushed forward, and Yu Xiaoguang was ruthless when she saw it, and she pulled the burden with great force.
Jia Shi saw that Lan Ya was coming, and he was full of confidence, but he also refused to let go of the burden, and under the strength of the two, the already dilapidated burden was suddenly shattered, and the naked little baby quickly fell to the ground.
Lan Ya rolled a thunderbolt to the place where the baby landed, and it was able to catch the baby with both palms.
Looking at the small rabbit-like child, several people were stunned at the same time, only to see the baby's limbs writhing, six fingers on both hands, and at the heart, a protrusion the size of a small fist grew outside the body, and it was visibly fluttering and beating.
Jia Shi covered his mouth in fright and didn't scream, but Xiao Yi ran out of the way in fright.
Lan Ya's eyes were red, she took off her coat, wrapped it directly around the baby, kicked Xiaoguang to the ground, and said angrily: "He is obviously still alive, why did you bury him?" ”
Yu Xiaoguang rubbed his lower abdomen that was kicked by Lan Ya, grinned in pain: "He is just a monster, he can't stay, let alone let Zhou You know, how much he hopes for this child, how much anger he will have, maybe he will abandon your sister-in-law." ”
Lan Ya wiped away a tear in her eyes, patted the baby in her arms, and said indifferently: "It's a man-made sin, why let the child bear it?" Now that you have thrown this child away, I will raise it. ”
A tear fell down his cheek and fell on the baby's small lips, and the baby sucked happily, not knowing that he was just now, his life was hanging by a thread, and he was dying.
Lan Ya finally showed a smile, untied the water bladder on her body, washed her little finger, dipped it in water and put it in the child's small mouth, and the child's small mouth sucked like sucking the sweetest breast milk in the world.
The corners of Lan Ya's lips flew, looking at the child's six fingers, and then at the child's heart beyond the ribs, a trace of worry crossed his heart again, and he nodded as if he had firm faith in himself and said: "You are a child with a big life, you will be able to live a safe life, and your surname will be fish in the future, so let's call it peace." ”
Lan Ya walked towards the village with the child in her arms, walked two steps and turned around, and said indifferently to Xiaoguang: "Yu Xiaoguang, I don't care, you splash all the dirty water on me, I only care, how can you be so cruel, throw the newborn child in the mountains, if it weren't for the child to take a breath and cry, you wouldn't even be too lazy to dig deep into the pit, let the bearded dog jackal cut open and tear apart its tiny body, and you, his own uncle, ordered to throw him, it was his maternal grandmother." ”
Yu Lanya no longer paid attention to Yu Xiaoguang, and walked towards the village with the child in her arms, her figure was stretched into a long figure, which looked so slender, but so firm and tall.
Lan Ya didn't go home, but went to Yue's house first, and Yue's family also went to attend Yu Daguang's marriage banquet, but then so many things happened, she couldn't intervene, so she went home first in anger.
Seeing Lan Ya coming in with a child in her arms, she said with a happy face: "Lan Ya, are you okay?" Whose child are you hugging? ”
As he spoke, he touched the child's little face and teased it.
Lan Ya sighed, shook her head, and told the Yue family the ins and outs of the matter, Yue's was so angry that the flesh on his face trembled, and said angrily: "Zhang's old pious woman is too much, obviously she pinched the child and threw dirty water on you, relying on you to kill the child, let the Zhou family settle the account on your head, and keep Yu Caihe's status, think beautiful!" ”
Lan Ya shook her head and said: "Auntie, the Qing is self-purifying, I never care about these, I came to you, thinking that since I came to raise this child in the future, I can't let him suffer anymore, so I have to buy a goat to solve his food, but buying a goat is not a problem that can be solved at once, you are popular, can you ask for some milk from the woman who just gave birth to a child in the village, maintain it for a day or two, and wait for me to buy the goat." ”
Yue's laughed and said: "What's wrong with this, your aunt-in-law is out of the horse, there is nothing that can't be done, you can give me the child." ”
Lan Ya shook her head, opened the child's small quilt, and said to Yue's family: "Auntie, now everyone in the village is rumored to be a broom star, if you know that it is the child I am holding and is a deformed and disabled person, I will not give up that mouthful of milk, so as not to stick to the bad luck." Bring back the milk in a jar, and I will give it hot to Ping An to drink. ”
Aunt Yue was also slightly stunned when she first saw the defects on Ping'an's body, even if she listened to Lan Ya in detail, she didn't have the impact of what she saw with her own eyes.
Aunt Yue nodded and said, "Lan Ya, don't worry, my aunt can save it, my aunt doesn't want it in the village, go back to my mother's house to ask for it, and I promise that I won't let others know about it." ”
Lan Ya gratefully hugged Ping'an and went home, Aunt Yue did not delay for a moment, went back to her parents' house directly, and decided to bring back fresh milk for Ping'an to drink early tomorrow morning, so as not to starve the child.
It wasn't until the willows on the moon that Yu Sanguang and Hai led the Lanxiang sisters and brothers back, obviously tired.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw a big wooden basin on the table, and Lan Ya was stirring the water to feel the temperature of the water, with a gentle look on her face.
Yu Sanguang was annoyed for a while, stepped forward, directly knocked the basin to the ground, and said angrily: "The big house has been messed up by you, and the Zhou family will come to Xingshi tomorrow to ask for the guilt, you still have the leisure to wash your hands and face, and you are unwilling not to kill the whole family, aren't you?" ”
The water in the basin fell down the skirt of the orchid sprouts, and finally fell to the ground, like snowflakes, shattering into countless petals.
Lu'er came in with the child in her arms, and when she saw the embarrassed Lan Ya, she hurriedly handed the child in her arms to Lan Xiang, and shouted: "Miss, go and change your clothes, now it's cold in spring, and it's the easiest to catch a cold." ”
