Chapter 422: Cuscuta (4)
"Xiuyun, do you want to kill the child you gave birth to with great difficulty?"
Yin Yuan hugged the little baby, indifferently glanced at Wang Sanniang, who was swept down by the yin wind and had fainted on the ground, and then projected a pair of beautiful eyes onto Xiuyun's already ghostly face.
"I know that you have hatred in your heart, but the way of heaven is reincarnated, cause and effect have their own conclusions, no matter what, your children are always innocent. You can kill your mother-in-law, anyway, one life will pay for one's life, she deserves it. You can also kill your father-in-law, because he is weak and can't protect you in the slightest when you are suffering, but Xiuyun, your child, are you going to kill him with your own hands? ”
Yin Yuan said, lifting the baby in his arms.
The little baby also seemed to feel the breath of his mother, and he no longer cried, but opened a pair of half-open eyes and looked in the direction of Xiuyun.
The corners of his mouth tugged upward, revealing the most innocent smile in heaven and earth. The little hands danced in the air, and he let his mother hug him like a coquette. The anger in Xiuyun's heart was calmed down a lot in an instant, the black qi on her body disappeared, and with a smile on her face as a new mother, she slowly walked towards her child step by step.
"Me, can I hug him? I just want to hold my baby with my own hands. ”
Xiuyun looked at Yin Yuan, she knew that the child in front of her was definitely not very human, and there was pleading in her eyes.
Yin Yuan nodded and sent the child to Xiuyun.
Xiuyun stretched out her hand tremblingly and carefully hugged the child into her arms. Although she is a mother, her movements are still rusty and stiff. She carefully looked at her child's little face, and wanted to use the last time to deeply imprint the child's appearance into her mind and heart. The child stretched out his hand and babbled to her about the excitement of the first meeting of mother and son.
Xiuyun lowered her face and gently touched the child's cheek with her lips, and a line of ghost tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. When the child saw her, he whimpered and began to cry.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all bad for mothers! Xiuyun coaxed her child in a panic. She wanted to be by his side, watch him grow up, and listen to him call herself a mother. However, it could no longer be done.
"Look at him again, and go. After all, you and him are a little shallow in fate, and they are separated by yin and yang after all. ”
Yin Yuan raised her face and stretched out her hand, begging Xiuyun for the child in her arms.
Xiuyun hesitated for a moment and returned the child to Yin Yuan.
"Will he be okay? Will he grow up safe and sound? ”
"I don't know if it's too long-term, but for now, he'll be fine." Yin Yuan gently comforted the crying baby in his arms, and it was strange to say that the baby quickly quieted down. The small gaze stayed on Yin Yuan's face for a moment before it closed. He, asleep.
Xiuyun looked at the child's eyebrows and eyes with affection, and her footsteps retreated back little by little. She didn't know where she was going, but she heard the voice, and she knew that the place where it came from was where she was going.
Xiuyun's figure faded little by little, and just as she was about to disappear, a strong black shadow suddenly burst out, and then attacked towards Yin Yuan.
"Be careful!"
Xiuyun's fading figure suddenly flashed again, and then blocked in front of the heavy black shadow. A pair of hands passed through Xiuyun's body, and Xiuyun's face once again showed a painful expression, and then shattered and dispersed.
The baby who was sleeping peacefully in his arms cried loudly again because of this change, and Yin Yuan looked at Aunt Li who rushed to him angrily, with ice blue flames burning in her eyes.
"Look for death!"
Aunt Li'er's five fingers, which had already been pierced, stopped in front of Yin Yuan's face. She was already dead, but she still felt fear. The rotten body trembled together, and only a throat cloth implicated in a skin made a sound like a rag.
She said, "What owes me is payback!" If you owe me, pay me back! ”
Yin Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked at the child in his arms, and put his finger against Aunt Li'er's forehead. Aunt Li's past reappears one by one......
It turned out that Aunt Li was not from this village, she was bought back.
Aunt Li'er's original husband was called Dong Qing, a scholar, but he was a useless scholar, and seeing that there was no hope of gaining fame in the examination, he went to a pharmacy under the arrangement of his mother to work as a partner. But this Dong Qing, even if he can't even do the job of selling drugs and catching medicines, he either misread the name of the medicine, or he got the wrong gram of medicine, which led to the loss of the pharmacy.
His mother and wife, that is, Aunt Li, had no choice but to help others pulp and wash clothes, sew and mend to get by, but the family was still poor and couldn't open the pot.
In the year of the disaster, Aunt Li was twenty-six years old and had already given birth to three children for Xianggong, the eldest of whom was already ten years old. Due to the lack of food and drink at home, coupled with the famine, the child became sick again, and only survived for half a day. The remaining two children were also dying, and at this time, Dong Qing heard that a rich man had come to the town and planned to buy a concubine to go back.
Clear-eyed people know that this so-called rich man just took advantage of the disaster, but everyone is still squeezing and resisting and wants to sell his wife or daughter to him. For the poor at that time, having a stutter was more important than anything else.
Although Aunt Li is old, she was born with a baby face, and her facial features are good, and she is charming without makeup, and she was suddenly taken in by the rich man.
Aunt Li was originally willing to die, but looking at the two dying children, she could only agree. Before leaving, Aunt Li asked Dong Qing, if she could come back alive one day, would the two of them still be husband and wife? Dong Qing agreed.
The rich man who bought Aunt Li was from this village. In fact, he was not a rich man, but a sheep seller in the village, who was already fifty-three at the time, and in the words of the countrymen, he had put one leg into the coffin. In the early years, because of the poverty of the family, he was unable to marry a wife. In the year of the famine, every family was famine, but because he raised dozens of sheep, he became a rich family. At the beginning of the famine, he sold the supplies, and then went to the town with the money to buy rice and grain, and on the way back, he heard others talking that this person often took advantage of the famine to buy people, not only can he pick and pick, but the price is also cheap, so he was also moved.
Aunt Li'er's age is considered to be the oldest in that group of girls, but the shepherd can see that this is a solid woman who can live, and she is very attractive and attractive, and she is very much fond of her after buying it home. Gradually, Aunt Li got used to her life in the village, but she couldn't let go of her ex-husband and the two children in her heart. She also privately planned that after the shepherd died, she would go back to the town to find Dong Qing, but she never expected that only a year later, she received news that Dong Qing not only sold her, but also sold her two young daughters, and now she is taking the money from selling their mother and daughter to marry another wife.
Aunt Li was hated and annoyed, and she actually had a serious illness, and after the serious illness, her heart died. When the shepherd saw that she was not angry, he promised her that he would help her get her two daughters back. At that time, Aunt Li was also half enchanted, regardless of the cold, she sold all the valuable pawns in the family, and then stuffed the silver to the shepherd, so that he must bring his two daughters back no matter what.
Seeing that she could not resist her, the shepherd had to leave the village with the silver taels, and never returned. Some people say that the shepherd died, and some people say that the shepherd must have married another woman to live with him because he had brought so much silver with him. Just when Aunt Li was disheartened and was about to end her life, she found out that she was pregnant and was the child of a shepherd.
In the days that followed, it could be regarded as gradually calming down. With the help of the villagers, Aunt Li gave birth to the child smoothly. It's a boy, who looks more like her, but has a temperament like a shepherd, diligent and quiet. Although her ex-husband Dong Qing, the sold daughter and the missing shepherd passed through her mind from time to time, she just shook her head and pursed her lips to shake them all to the back of her mind. Aunt Li knows that the days have to look forward, and she and her children must work hard to live.
When the child was seven years old, she brought back something that Aunt Li recognized as the money bag she sewed for when the shepherd left the village. The cloth is home-woven, because it is poor, so the money used is also spent and miscellaneous, but Aunt Li is skillful, and in the corner of the cloth bag, she embroidered a sheep's head with white money.
Aunt Li stabilized her mind, grabbed the child's arms and asked him, "Where did you pick this thing up?" ”
The child pointed out with his hand and said, "It's right behind the house, behind Uncle Wang's house next door." ”
Aunt Li was dizzy. She first told the child not to tell the story, and then, taking advantage of the darkness, she walked through the village and went around to the back of the house.
Their row of houses was built next to each other, and the houses were close to each other, and if they wanted to go around the back, they had to go through the adjacent row of houses and go around to the back. Behind the Wang's house, Aunt Li found more things, such as the leg bones buried under the soil layer, and the clothes that had not yet rotted next to the leg bones.
Late that night, Aunt Li sat alone next to her snow-white leg bones, covering her mouth with her hands and crying. She knew that the shepherd must have been killed by someone for revealing his wealth, and she also knew that even if the murderer was not Wang San, he must be from the village, but she didn't dare to report to the official. Mo said that the case has been shelved for many years, and even if the murderer is identified, it will be difficult for her and her children to gain a foothold in the village as an outsider.
After sitting by the bones for most of the night, she wept and reburied the bones in the earth, and then returned home pretending to be nothing. But what Aunt Li didn't expect was that her child disappeared that night!
