Chapter 173: Lucky Star
The pond is large and the water is still muddy due to the flooding.
The pond is planted with phoenix eye blue, which is also known as water floating lotus, and it itself has the ability to purify water quality. However, the reproduction rate of water hyacinth is extremely fast, and the water quality deteriorates after the rot of a large area of water hyacinth.
Even putting aside the phoenix eye blue, there are still many dead fish, dead chickens and dead ducks floating in the pond, so the water in the pond is black.
The scenes of being immersed in a pig cage in clear water can only be seen in TV dramas. After all, if you take care of the actors, even if you are a stand-in, you can't really get into the pig cage and be put into a dirty and smelly pond.
So when Chi Jing and the jade bottle heard He Bifang's roar and rushed over, they first found that He Bifang, who had a blue nose and swollen eyes, had been tied up by everyone, and then saw the baby who was stuffed into the pig cage with swaddling clothes, and the person dressed as a Taoist priest with a pig cage in his hand was about to put it into the foul pond, Chi Jing's lungs were about to explode.
In modern times, if an animal is found to be slaughtered within a few hours of birth, it is condemned by public opinion. And now that she has seen with her own eyes this human tragedy that should not have happened, putting the newborn child into a foul pond, she really feels that she has long insight, long insight-
"Foolish!" Chi Jing burst out of these words from between her teeth, only to see her figure swaying slightly, leaping forward, stepping on the heads of countless fools in front of her, using everyone's heads as a point of strength, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the Taoist priest.
Yitong first heard the sudden cries of pain, and looked back in surprise, and saw a masked woman floating in the air with a light body, her posture graceful and graceful, like a Lingbo fairy descending into the mortal world.
He couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, the pig cage in his hand hung dangerously above the water, forgetting what he wanted.
...
"Stop!" Chi Jing said, reaching out to grab the pig cage in his hand.
Yitong suddenly woke up. First avoided her hand, put the pig cage behind him, took two steps back, and stretched the pig cage out of the pond again and threatened: "Slow, you will let go if you come to the poor road again!" ”
Chi Jing withdrew his hand and said with a cold face: "Give me the child, and I will spare your life." ”
Yitong heard the words but laughed "haha": "Haha, who are you when you are?" If you say give, you will give it? ”
Chi Jing didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he asked again: "Do you give it or not?" ”
This girl has a graceful posture, and her face under the veil must be at least middle-to-upper, but she never thought that she was stupid? If you weren't stupid, you'd run against yourself? So Yitong immediately cooled his face, "Girl, do you know, what is the origin of this baby?" ”
"This is the son of the Shen couple, but he has six fingers, which is not a big deal. Could it be that no one in the world has ever given birth to a six-fingered baby? She didn't believe it.
Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital malformations of the hand, especially near the thumb. Although the cause is unknown, most of these cases are caused by genetic factors or intergenerational inheritance, but it cannot be ruled out that environmental factors cause damage to the early stage of limb bud germ differentiation.
The Shen couple did not grow a sixth finger, and before she left, she also made it clear that the two were not inbred, so now the possibility of intergenerational inheritance and environment is the greatest.
But no matter what the reason, she is bound to stop such an inhumane act of putting such a young child who has not fully opened his eyes into a pond and drowning!
...
"Joke, poor Dao Yitong has entered the year of confusion this year, and I have never heard that a child will be born with six fingers! Have you heard of it? Or rather, have you ever had such a child? Yitong smiled coldly and asked the onlookers.
Chi Jing looked into the crowd and saw two or three women with flickering expressions, and shouted back with a high voice in her heart: "No! Never! ”
Chi Jing was relieved. It seems that this child is not the first six-fingered baby born here, and the six-fingered baby born before must have been secretly "disposed of" by their own biological parents...
Lamentable.
"If you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that no one in the world has seen it." Chi Jing changed into a short, long-tongued woman in the middle of a troubled parent and said, "I've seen it in Mingyue Kingdom, and there is more than one." ”
"Big sister, is this true?" One of the cloth-clothed women with a flickering expression stepped forward and asked, not only with curiosity in her eyes, but also with a hint of remorse that could not be faster.
"What's the benefit of me lying to you? I am not related to that baby. It's just that God has the virtue of a good life, and saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, so I stood up and told you about it. "Chi Jing Dao. Since they can't listen to scientific things, then she will use superstition to give these people a wave of popular science.
"The fathers and mothers who gave birth to such children in the Bright Moon Country... Aren't you afraid? Another well-dressed woman stepped forward with an uneasy expression.
"I'm afraid, why aren't you afraid." Pond net road. Even if it is a biological one, the first time I see these six fingers, my scalp will be numb, and I will be afraid for a while.
"Then how dare they raise their children?" The cloth-clothed woman couldn't help but ask in amazement.
"The child is a piece of meat that fell from the mother's own body, how can there be any reason to discard it?" Chi Jingdao noticed that pain began to appear on the faces of the two women.
Without waiting for the pain to fade, she said again: "And don't talk about the calamity, those six-fingered babies in the Bright Moon Country are simply the lucky stars of their parents!" ”
At this time, not only the two women, but even the Taoist priest holding the pig cage couldn't help but interject: "Fuxing? Why is it a lucky star? ”
...
The jade bottle mixed in the crowd had already approached He Bifang quietly, and at this time, the dagger in his hand was secretly sawing the rope that bound He Bifang's hands, and he covered his mouth and laughed when he heard this.
She used to only think that her own girl didn't know how to lie, was loyal and honest, and she would definitely be bullied in the future. Now it seems that her worries are superfluous, how can the girl have been to any Mingyue Country...
Young Master Wan Sheng said that the girl was sold into the Tang family as a slave when she was more than five years old, could it be that a five-year-old girl still traveled around the world? Hee-hee.
It's just that she didn't think that when she mentioned this stubble afterwards, Chi Jing would reply to her indifferently: "Oh, what did you say?" I'm not lying, I really traveled the world before I was five years old. ”
Of course, that's another story.
At this time, the jade bottle only gathered his mind and continued to cut the rope, while pricking up his ears and listening to the girl through the noise, continuing to arrange the affairs of the bright moon country.
"Of course, it's a blessed star from heaven! When the emperor of Mingyue Kingdom heard about this, he felt that the parents of these children were not afraid of gossip, and they were still reluctant to give up their own flesh and blood, which could move the heavens and the earth. Therefore, the emperor of the Mingyue Kingdom ordered the imperial court to raise these babies until they were thirteen years old, and also rewarded the children's fathers and mothers with silver taels that could not be spent for a lifetime..."
