Chapter 26: The New Life of the Bad Cottage 1

Three days went by in a flash.

Huo Ran, who had woken up from his cultivation, had a little more calmness.

She remembered a question she had been asking all along: "Is there any other benefit to cultivation besides making the soul strong?" ”

"A strong soul is the greatest benefit! You can condense entities. The most direct thing is that you will use the body of the wisher to become more and more natural, and will not be found flawed. The system told her, "And in the quest world, your physical energy will also be boosted." The soul feeds back to the body. ”

Huo Ran nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's start taking on the task."

The door of the space opened again, and to Huo Ran's surprise, it was an old-fashioned woman in a dark blue coarse cloth dress, a simple back bun, and rough yellow-brown skin.

She was about forty years old, and when she saw the clean and beautiful Huo Ran, she was a little uncomfortable and pulled her withered yellow hair.

"Sister, please take a seat." Huo Ran spoke softly.

The woman hurriedly bowed and thanked her, sat down on the sofa, and stood up in shock: "This ...... This...... It's not going to sit badly, is it? It sinked suddenly...... Girl, no, no, I should call you Miss, Miss, I have no money, I can't afford to accompany you. The woman's face was full of panic.

"Sister, don't worry, this is called a sofa, you can sit casually, it can't be broken." Huo Ran forcefully pressed the woman on the sofa, watching her fidget, and gradually relaxed with a novel light touch.

After a long time, the woman reacted and said embarrassedly: "My name is Xie Mei, I made you laugh." ”

Huo Ran shook his head with a smile: "The first time, it's normal." ”

Xie Mei looked at Huo Ran enviously: "It's so good, I really envy you juniors." However, if my daughter is still here, I can enjoy it like you! Xie Mei let out a long sigh.

"Can you tell me about it?" Huo Ran asked.

"Absolutely. I am 27 years old. Xie Mei looked at Huo Ran's surprised look, smiled understandingly, looked down at her rough hands, and continued to speak: "My daughter should have been 10 years old. I married my man at the age of fifteen and gave birth to her at the age of seventeen. It's a pity that I didn't keep this child. His father left us and my mother to study in the big city, and never looked back, except for the telegram urging us to ask for money every month, there was no news. The child is sick, my money is given to my man, there is no money to treat her, the child is gone. Poor my daughter pulled me and said, 'Mother, I don't hurt, I'll wait for my father to come home'. ”

Tears flowed out, Xie Mei barely covered her older face, and handed over a handkerchief, "Eldest sister, what do you want most?" ”

Xie Mei wiped away her tears and looked up at Huo Ran: "For a mother, the most important thing is always her child. ”

Huo Ran nodded knowingly.

"If it works, I want my child to meet her father." Xie Mei said with some hesitation: "Does he have another woman, I know that they all like new-style women, if so, let him go, I just want the child to know who her father is, she is worried about the father she has never seen until she dies." ”

"Eldest sister, I understand your wishes, you can take a look at this contract, and if it's okay, sign it." Huo Ran asked tentatively, "Do you need me to read it to you?" ”

"I know some words." Xie Mei read carefully-

β€œ

Me: Xie Mei voluntarily gave up her future life to fulfill a wish.

Wisher: Xie Mei

Wish: Daughter Cheng Xiyue grows up safely.

Executor: Huo Ran"

"Agreed. Miss Huo, my daughter, please leave it to you. Xie Mei knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Huo Ran.

Huo Ran was so frightened that she jumped to the side and helped her up: "Sister, get up quickly!" Rest assured. You can rest for a while, you can use the things in the room as you like, and when I come back, you will know how your daughter is. ”

Huo Ran sent the somewhat rickety Xie Mei to the rest room and began to check Xie Mei's memory.

Xie Mei's father had read several books of the Four Books, so he gave his daughter a more elegant name, but unfortunately since the emperor was overthrown, Xie Mei's father felt that what he had learned in his life could not be used, so he was devoted to the emperor and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Poor Xie Mei became an orphan at a young age, and the family property was also taken back by the clan. Fortunately, she was picked up by Cheng Lan's widowed mother and became Cheng Lan's child daughter-in-law.

Granny Cheng is not too bad to her, compared to other child daughters-in-law, she has no worries about food and clothing, and she doesn't beat and scold much, although she works every day, which family is not like this?

Granny Cheng is also more satisfied with this daughter-in-law who is quick with her hands and feet and knows a little bit of literature and ink, and when Xie Mei was fifteen years old and Cheng Lan was thirteen years old, they became relatives directly, and they got married the next year.

When Cheng Lan was fifteen years old, she wanted to go to a new school to learn a new school, and her mother-in-law and Xie Mei worked hard every day in the morning and at night, and the poor two women worked hard to satisfy Cheng Lan's brilliance in front of people.

After Xie Mei became pregnant, Cheng Lan got her wish and went to Peking to study, and never looked back.

Xie Mei gave birth, and her mother-in-law said that it was a matter of the woman's family, and Cheng Lan did not go home; When her mother-in-law passed away, she told Xie Mei early not to disturb Cheng Lan's study, and asked Xie Mei to promise that she would always wait for him to come back and guard the house, Xie Mei knelt in front of her bed and swore that her mother-in-law closed her eyes, but Cheng Lan still didn't come back. There are only telegrams from letters, tuition, and when it's cold, I need to add clothes and make friends......

Xie Mei took care of her daughter according to her oath and guarded the house, but unfortunately when her daughter was seriously ill at the age of nine, she couldn't take out a piece of the ocean, and she couldn't survive seeing her daughter close her eyes in front of her, so she took her father's old path and jumped into the river.

"Alas" Huo Ran thought of Xie Mei's hard work all her life, but she was young and could only commit suicide in despair, so she could only sigh.

"System, let's get on the mission."

When she opened her eyes again, Yuzuki was humming quietly in her arms.

When a poor family is sick, they never immediately seek medical treatment, but always think that it may be over after a while.

Huo Ran touched Xiyue's forehead, it was scary.

She carefully placed the child on the bed, and according to the position she remembered, she found a crockpot under the table, and in the crockpot was the most valuable thing in the familyβ€”a dozen eggs.

Huo Ran tried hard to stick his body to the ground, stretched out under the crockpot and rubbed it, and finally touched a cloth bag.

By the light of the moon, she carefully opened it, and there were five oceans hidden inside. Thankfully, it hasn't been sent yet.

Huo Ran looked at Xiyue worriedly, Xiyue was getting sicker and sicker, and she couldn't wait!

Huo Ran wrapped Xiyue in the quilt as much as possible, put his back on the ground, and kicked the ocean in the direction of the county seat.

Before he walked out of the door, Huo Ran turned around and felt something under the pillow, and also stuffed it into his back and patted it, and then went on the road with some peace of mind.

"Mother." The bumpy dirt road made Huo Ran one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the setting moon was awakened and screamed softly.

"Xiaoyue, don't be afraid, my mother will take you to see a doctor." Huo Ran tried hard to control his body and no longer stumbled and stumbled.

"Ahem...... Mother, where did we get the money? Xiyue asked very obediently.

Huo Ran gasped and replied, "Don't worry about it." Xiaoyue, you sleep, and when you wake up, you'll be all right. ”

Satsuki responded vaguely and fell into a deep sleep again.

His steps became heavier and heavier, and Huo Ran could only think desperately before he let himself ignore his weak body.

On the rugged path, Huo Ran suddenly stopped, and there seemed to be a ...... behind him

She turned around a little tremblinglyβ€”

"Sister Cheng, where are you going?" A familiar figure appeared in front of her eyes - Zhang Lezi from the same village!

When did he keep up with his own? Huo Ran thought to himself in his heart, and at the same time took a few steps back and said, "Brother Zhang, I'll take my daughter to see a doctor." ”

Zhang Lezi walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Huo Ran: "Why doesn't my sister call my brother?" How can you travel so far as a woman? Otherwise, my brother and I happened to pass by the old grave outside the village, and I wouldn't have been able to touch you. Come, brother, carry it on your back. ”

"No need, Brother Zhang. It's so late, I can't bother, the child is seriously ill, I will leave Brother Zhang first. Huo Ran tried to dodge Zhang Lezi's hand, but he couldn't struggle vigorously because of the child on his back.

Zhang Lezi squinted his eyes, a mouthful of big yellow teeth in the moonlight to see clearly, there are a few vegetable leaves between the teeth, he has coveted Xie Mei for a long time, but unfortunately there are clansmen in the village, clan elders, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, he didn't expect to be hit by him today and left alone.

"Sister, your man hasn't been back for more than ten years, no man can't do it, you look at this heavy work, you definitely can't do it, as long as you follow me, your daughter is my daughter." Zhang Lezi pondered that if there was no shop in front of the village here, Xie Mei would definitely not be able to run, so he would no longer pretend to be a warm-hearted person.

Huo Ran's face froze, "I respect you for being older, and I call you Brother Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so self-respecting." Although the Cheng family is not the first family in the village, they are not bullied! ”

"Hahaha, big sister, there are many Cheng families, but unfortunately no one responds to you now!" Zhang Lezi's eyes flashed fiercely: "Hmph, you don't want to listen to good words, then sleep with my brother first, you are willing to sleep when you sleep!" ”

Zhang lezi pounced again, his eyes were fierce, and the corners of his mouth were lewd.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Xiyue was awakened by Huo Ran's dodge and asked in fear.

"What's wrong? You're going to have a new dad soon! Zhang Lezi grabbed the quilt behind Huo Ran and pulled the quilt out hard, and Xiyue was thrown to the ground.

"Woo...... Mother! You don't kill my mother," Yuzuki struggled to crawl over and try to help.

Huo Ran struggled hard, but the strength of a woman was not as good as that of a man after all, and she was pulled by Zhang Lezi's neckline.

Huo Ran's legs trembled a little, if he couldn't escape today-

In the corner of her eye, the small body that struggled to crawl pierced her heart, she couldn't-

Feeling that Huo Ran was no longer struggling, Zhang Lezi breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and said in his mouth: "Don't worry, let's get it once, and I will take my daughter to the city." ”

"You...... Don't hurt Satsuki. Huo Ran said tremblingly.

"Tear off" Huo Ran's collar was torn open, and Zhang Lezi's saliva flowed, "She is my daughter, I must treat her well-"

Tears flowed down the corners of Huo Ran's eyes, and she tried hard to say to her daughter who was still trying to crawl: "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine in a while." Obediently close your eyes. ”

"Hehe, yes, close your eyes, your mother loves you." Zhang Lezi stuck to Huo Ran's body, looked at Huo Ran's movements and said, "Sister, are you going to take off your pants by yourself?" ”。

"Ahh
