Chapter 592: Yushu and Pupil Spirit
"I thought there was something wrong with the child's face, whiter than Yunfei, as if he was seriously ill, so I was very concerned, and when I went back, I met a woodcutter from Erniu Mountain, so I inquired with him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Meat Baigu said that his throat was a little dry, and he got up and poured a cup of tea.
"So what did he say? Is the child sick? Where does his family live? Hong'er couldn't wait to know what was going on.
"I don't know if he is sick or not, but this family is very strange, they are from Erniu Mountain, but they don't live in the village, they live in the mountains, they don't usually interact with people, and they have always been very mysterious." Meat White Bone took a sip of tea and continued.
"Erniu Mountain? Is it a small village in a mountain col? Bai Yue asked.
"Yes, there are more than ten miles away from this village where we are, and the mountains on both sides of the village are shaped like two cows, hence the name, you can go all the way to the northwest when the time comes, and after passing two villages, you will see those two mountains, which are very conspicuous." Flesh White Bone said.
"Then you didn't inquire about why the mother and son didn't live in the village? Is it because something has happened? Like being haunted by a ghost or something? Yun Zhen thought the same as Tian Chu, and felt that the child's appearance was unusual, I was afraid that both of them had problems, so they couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm a newcomer, I'm very idle for a day, and no one is talking, of course I have to inquire about such a strange thing, I don't know if I don't know, I really inquired about some strange things." When Flesh White Bone said this, he suddenly became excited, and he was ready to talk about it.
The story starts with the child's mother, this woman's name is Yushu, she is an orphan girl, when she encountered a disaster, the family fled, all the way upside down, died, lost, and fled to Erniu Mountain when she was alone.
Fortunately, Erniu Mountain is a good place, the folk customs are also simple, and they also take great care of this foreign little girl.
Perhaps as fate would have it, one summer night, Yushu was awakened by a baby's cry, and she picked up a baby boy in the bamboo forest near the house.
The baby was thin and small, but it had big watery eyes, and a strange necklace around its neck, which were two small round beads, one large and one small, glued together like a small gourd.
Yushu first looked around, shouted a few times, and found that no one was there, I don't know how long the child had been thrown here, Yushu looked at the baby crying breathlessly, distressed, and quickly leaned down and picked him up.
It's also strange, as soon as Yushu picked up the baby, he stopped crying, and kept smiling at Yushu, laughing so much that Yushu's heart melted, and she never put it down from this hug.
Heavenly reincarnation, this orphan girl who was once raised by countless well-wishers adopted this baby boy who fell from the sky, but the reaction of those villagers who had taken care of her enthusiastically was beyond her expectations.
The villagers excluded the child, and later even Yushu was excluded for three reasons:
One is that the year when Yushu picked up the child happened to be a lunar year, and that night happened to be a cloudy moon, and the family was closed on this day to prevent contamination with yin and evil things.
The second is that the child looks a little strange, not like other people's children, who are white and chubby, not to mention pale and thin, and have a pair of "breathtaking" eyes, they even think that this child is a little scary, so they are more convinced that there is something wrong with this child.
The third is that Yushu is still an unmarried girl, she has no ability and should not raise this child, how will she marry in the future, who would want to be a father to an outsider's child? So no one agreed with her raising this child.
Soon rumors spread in the village, and some people even said that Yushu picked up a scourge, which would bring disaster to the village in the future, and the more people who said it, the more people who believed it, and gradually, these villagers who once regarded Yushu as their relatives gradually changed their attitude towards Yushu from estrangement to hatred, and Erniushan no longer had a place for Yushu.
The village chief spoke to Yushu on behalf of the villagers and gave her an ultimatum that if she threw the child away, they could accept her again, and if she didn't, she would have to be expelled from the village.
Throwing the child away? Yushu can't do it anyway, from the moment he picked up the child, Yushu can no longer throw him away, although the people in the village think he looks terrible, but Yushu thinks he is the cutest child in the world, Yushu also gave him a name, called Pupil Ling, because he has a pair of the most beautiful and pure eyes in the world.
When Yushu is sad because of the hatred of the villagers, the little Hitomi Spirit will stretch out his little hand to wipe away Yushu's tears and smile at her, as long as he smiles, Yushu will not be sad.
No matter how hard and difficult the days are, it becomes interesting because of the pupil spirit, Yushu loves the pupil spirit in every way, and is reluctant to let him suffer a little grievance, since the village can't accommodate him, Yushu doesn't want to think about it, and directly packs up her belongings and moves into the mountain, and has never stepped into Erniu Mountain again.
Leaving Erniu Mountain, although life is a little harder, but no one hates them anymore, the mother and son are still very happy, occasionally there are villagers passing by their thatched huts will walk around in disgust, even the children in the village can't help but bully him when they see Tong Ling, scolding him for being a monster.
Whenever this happens, Yushu will wave a stick to drive these bad children away, and in this way, the pupil spirit grows up day by day under Yushu's care, but Yushu's body is not as good as day by day.
It's no wonder that the people of Erniu Mountain feel that the pupil spirit is terrible, the pupil spirit is like sucking Yushu's life, the pupil spirit grows bigger and bigger, but Yushu's situation is getting worse and worse, and the pupil spirit is also depressed all day long, I don't know if it is a depression and disease, and in the end, the pupil spirit is not long, and the appearance of staying at the age of seven or eight remains unchanged.
Yushu saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but Tong Ling was not sad at all, but a little happy, he felt that if he didn't grow up and could make his mother better, he would rather never grow up.
But it backfired, although the pupil spirit was not long, Yushu did not get better because of this, and the pupil spirit was frightened every day, afraid that Yushu would suddenly fall asleep one day and no longer wake up.
Tong Ling grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he never had contact with people, and he didn't like to contact people, but in order to save Yushu, he still went to all the villages to ask Lang Zhong to come to his mother to see a doctor.
