Chapter 589: Where Are Those Dead Children?
A woman looked in shock at a little girl of about four or five years old who was being led out by her grandmother, "That child...... It's like ...... with me."
"That little boy seems to be the second son of the Ming family...... No! He is the child born to the second son of the Ming family three years ago! ”
An old man from the Ming family pointed to a little boy who stumbled to the courtyard with a foolish smile, "The red mole on his eyebrows is exactly the same as the child who is said to have died from congenital deficiency after birth!" ”
"The child without feet is almost exactly the same as the little son of the Xiao family when he was young!"
"Kid, that's my kid!" A young woman staggered to the courtyard with a look of disbelief on her face.
She crouched beside a toddler lying on the ground eating dirt, and held out her hand tremblingly.
As soon as the fingertips touched the toddler's mud-stained cheek, they retracted suddenly.
A young man in a green coat walked up to the young child in a daze, "Rui'er? ”
He and his wife have been married for five years and gave birth to a boy three and a half years ago.
Before they could see each other, the patriarch informed him that it was a stillborn child and that it had rotted in the womb.
The patriarch hurried away with his swaddling clothes.
He and his wife saw with their own eyes that the infant child had a clean face and seemed to be asleep.
Now the toddler who is lying on the ground eating dirt looks to be about two years old.
But he felt that this was his child who had been declared dead.
He named her Xiao Rui.
More parents recognize their children.
Their eyes were full of disbelief.
"Eldest princess, what's going on? Why is the child in our family who has been pronounced dead here? Or has it become like this? ”
"Patriarch, you clearly told me that my grandson died young, and now the child who is almost exactly the same as my son, who is it?"
"Patriarch, isn't my daughter dead? Who is she? ”
"The eldest grandson of the emperor, when my granddaughter was born, you were also in the house, you said that she died at birth, but that girl is the same as my daughter when she was young!"
Everyone's expressions were a little broken.
After recognizing their children, only a few dared to step forward.
More of it, it's just froze in place.
Those who come up to the child are children who are only mentally retarded.
And if the child has a mutilated limb and is accompanied by mental retardation, they dare not step forward, or they do not want to come forward.
The people who came to the barren mountain were all noble people from the three major families.
They can't believe it, and they can't accept that their children are so ugly and stupid.
After a while, Xing Yuhuang slowly spit out four words:
"We were wrong."
She looked at the young parents who were crying with their children in their arms, and said bitterly: "The pure blood we have been pursuing has harmed the children. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all silent.
If they had heard someone say this before, they would definitely jump up and refute it.
But now, look at these mutilated and abnormal children.
They couldn't refute it.
Faintly, they felt that what Xing Yuhuang said was true.
"These are indeed your children who have been declared dead."
"Because the three major families have always pursued pure blood, cousins and sisters got married, resulting in children ...... It's what it is now. ”
Xing Yuhuang's voice fell, and a faint low cry sounded.
Gradually, the cries became one and the frightened cries of the children mixed together, sad and eerie.
All of them are figures in the power centers of the three major families.
Some of them also wondered why in recent years, the patriarchs of the Dan tribe have been all there.
And the first sight of the child's birth is not for the parents, but for the patriarch.
But for every child the patriarch has seen, only one out of twenty or thirty will be alive.
Now when they see these children, they understand.
"Eldest princess, why is the eldest child here only seven or eight years old?" An old woman had red eyes and asked questions.
It was Su Ruotang who answered her, "Because children with normal intelligence, after being conscious, can't accept such a crippled and ugly self." ”
"They chose to commit suicide."
"And children who are intellectually stupid or not disabled and seriously incapable of committing suicide, because their parents are close relatives, they themselves carry various diseases, and very few can live to the age of ten."
"Their lifespan is only five or six years, or even a few days or months."
With Su Ruoxi's tail note, it fell.
The suppressed low sobs of the crowd suddenly turned into a broken cry.
Mo Yingyan looked at the people of the three major families who were crying, and slightly clenched Su Ruotang's little hand.
He has already written a letter of resignation to his father, forbidding people who are related by blood to marry.
Not even if it's a distant relative!
People of the same family are forbidden to marry.
Fu Beixian and Gu Shuya glanced at each other, and they both saw the pity in each other's eyes.
They don't sympathize with these people.
They only sympathize with these innocent children.
Xing Nanye's fox eyes were scorching like demons, revealing a cold and evil light.
He was feminine and stunning, with a chuckle on his lips and a warm look in his eyes.
"Is it useful to cry now?"
"Do you dare to admit that this is your child?
"Do you dare to bring your own children home?"
A series of three questions fell, and the crying in the sky suddenly stopped.
Everyone was stunned.
Dare to admit it?
Dare to bring your child home?
Can't......
They are the people of the three great families.
If other people know that their descendants are so unbearable, what sense of superiority do they have over the people of other families?
"Huh." Xing Nanye's eyes were soaked with the ultimate poisonous evil light, and he sneered again and again:
"You don't dare."
"In your eyes, power is more important than anything else."
Xing Yuhuang frowned, but did not speak.
For some reason, she always felt that after returning from Jingzhou, her evil son seemed to have changed.
More points...... Kindness?
Xing Jingxi stepped forward and picked up a child who was squirming on the ground with no feet and a crooked face.
He gently wiped the saliva from the child's mouth with his sleeve, and his eyebrows and eyes were sarcastic, and he glanced at everyone:
"Isn't it hypocritical for a living child to dare to admit it in front of his eyes, crying at the so-called grave every day?"
Su Ruotang glanced at Xing Nanye and Xing Jingxi in surprise.
She thought that the first person to pick up the child would be the child's mother.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xing Jingxi.
Xing Yuhuang looked at everyone expressionlessly: "Today, I will tell you the secrets of the barren mountain, and how everyone chooses is everyone's business." ”
"These children will still be raised by the three families until they die."
Quan Hongying stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the children in the courtyard with the blood of the Quan family.
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Quan Laosan, take your granddaughter home." ”
The old man standing behind him stepped forward without hesitation and picked up the little girl with a mutilated limb.
Behind him, after some Quan family members hesitated, they also chose to step forward and take their children away.
Minghou looked sideways at the young man beside him, "Cousin, take your nephew home." ”
The woman next to the young man, when she heard Minghou's words, couldn't hold back anymore, and stepped forward to hug her child crying.
Immediately, blood kinship broke through the shackles of power, and more people stepped forward to pick up their family's children.
Only a few children with serious mutilations were squirming alone on the ground.
"These children don't live long, since you choose to take them home, this palace hopes that you can treat them well." A faint coercion, accompanied by Xing Yuhuang's faint voice, fell on everyone.
"Yes, I will obey the orders of the eldest princess." Everyone responded in unison.
After a while, someone couldn't help but say, "Eldest princess, where are those dead children?" ”
