Chapter 32: Past and Present Lives

Time went back to more than 100 years ago, when the winter was exceptionally cold, and in a mud house in the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing, Xiuru and her children had no teeth for two days.

There is nothing to eat at home, not even firewood for the fire, so if this continues..... The third mother is going to starve to death and freeze to death at home.

Xiuru originally had a man, and the family rented a few acres of land to advocate for the good fortune family, and the two of them worked day and night like livestock, although they couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear warm, but they could barely make ends meet, so they raised their son Huzi and daughter Niuniu......

However, the peasants all depend on the sky for food, and one year there is a drought and famine, and the landlords' families have no surplus food, not to mention them...... The whole family didn't have enough to eat, and many people in the village fled the famine!

Xiuru's man said, "I don't need to plant this bird field soon, there is not much oil and water! Many strong men in the village have gone to the city to pull rickshaws, and they earn a lot, which is much better than farming!

So, the whole family retired from the field, borrowed from the east and the west, owed a lot of debts, and finally bought a rickshaw, and the Xiuru man followed a few brothers to the capital to buy and sell, and directly made money to buy food to eat. And Xiuru herself simply advocated being a maid for a wealthy family and earning three melons and two dates to supplement the family.

Not to mention, the first two years are really good! Pulling a rickshaw is indeed better than paying food and rent, Xiuru man not only paid off all the debts, but also let the family actually eat enough! Watching the children grow taller day by day, Xiuru felt ..... It's been a very contented life.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, when the Xiuru man was pulling a rickshaw once, he didn't know how to offend a foreigner, so he let the family shoot him directly, and the guys who pulled the rickshaw with him sued the government, where did the government dare to provoke the foreigners? The case was hastily understood, and no penny was paid!

All of a sudden..... When the pillars and pillars collapsed, what was the use of the whole family crying and shouting? After burying the man and settling down the aftermath, the family was destitute again.

Xiuru fell into great grief every day, she was in a trance, and accidentally broke the valuable vase of the landlord's family, and the angry Zhang Laocai directly asked her to get out, and the land was not rented to her, which cut off Xiuru's livelihood all of a sudden..... The whole family is even more sad.

Without the means of production and without capital, what can a bankrupt peasant do? He can only ask for food! This year is also a year of chaff, and those who ask for food on the streets..... There are more than those who farm, how can they feed their two children just by asking for food?

And just in time for the cold winter wax moon, the north wind is blowing, the goose feathers and snow are drifting down, and they are uprooted from their hometowns to flee the famine..... I'm afraid that I won't go far and freeze to death on the way.

Looking at the two children's frozen purple faces, with a weak look, Xiuru decided to go out and give it a try, maybe she could get half of the nest back, anyway, get through this winter first, and then take the children to escape from the famine!

In the cold, Xiuru came to the town trembling with her arms in her arms, and to her surprise, the whole town was ...... Every house is closed, every shop is closed, not to mention people, there is not even a dog on the street!

It's a bit strange, though..... It's a little cold today, but people always have to live, right? How can there be shops that don't open? In broad daylight, it looks like a ghost town......

She walked around the town, still not finding anyone, feeling ..... Even though it was daytime, I suddenly felt terrible, like the whole town had died in the night!

Don't..... A few days ago, I heard Aunt Wu in the village say, "What Zhang Dashuai wants to fight Li Dashuai, what Dashuai Li wants to fight, what kind of Dashuai Li wants to fight, Lafayette's grave has been dug up by others, and the military salary has been filled, and the army is in chaos, this is definitely going to war!

Just as she was panicking and wanted to go home, she suddenly heard ..... At the end of the street, there was a sound of blowing and beating, like a funeral procession.

What made Xiuru unbelievable was that this blowing sound did not come from one end, but from both sides of the street, the east and west ends of the funeral at the same time!

I have lived for almost 30 years, and I have never encountered such an evil thing? What do you mean? The two families are dead, do you have to "crash" at the funeral?

She instinctively hid in the alley, but suddenly, a lot of people came out of the alley, both adults and children, dressed in white and wearing filial piety, carrying paper people and paper horses, and throwing paper money...... Blocking the road in the alley, so that Xiuru can't go inside.

The whole town suddenly became "lively", and there were a lot of people in all the alleys, some had seen it, some had never seen it, as if the whole town had a funeral, all of them were white, dressed in linen and filial piety, and against the backdrop of this icy and snowy environment, it was indescribably weird and evil!

Xiuru was "driven" by the crowd...... When I returned to the street, I saw the funeral procession on both sides of the street, and the two huge coffins were being carried by people, gradually approaching..... It's like digging a pit in the middle of the main street and burying it!

There was a monk in the funeral procession, reciting the scriptures, this dead person is not like a poor family, but ...... What is such a posture to do now?

Xiuru became more and more nervous and scared, watching the villagers with dark faces, bowing their heads, and not speaking, just squeezing into the middle of the street like a tide, and the range of her activities became smaller and smaller......

After careful observation, Xiuru found that many villagers ..... Why did you comb your big braids again? Didn't you cut them all the first two years...... Everything in front of her was like a nightmare, Xiuru pinched herself hard, it hurt, not in a dream.

She also saw that the villagers were all spewing white gas, not like the kind of dirty things that were chattering..... I wondered even more......

Huzi and Niuniu, the brothers and sisters, stayed at home until it was almost dark, and their mother did not come back.

Niuniu was very scared, worried about whether her mother was frozen to death, Huzi wanted to go out to find her mother, but ..... I was afraid that I would walk on the front foot, and the mother on the back foot would come back, and the brother and sister hugged each other and cried...... I don't know if my mother will come back?

At this time, Xiuru came back, not only brought back a lot of delicious food, but also changed into clean and beautiful clothes, colorful and green, with ...... on her head There is actually a strange-looking golden hairpin inserted, which seems to be quite heavy.

Seeing that the mother was back, the children jumped and jumped excitedly, and asked the mother vigorously, where did you get this delicious food? It's so pretty, it's still made of silk, and it's ..... on it. I also wrote a lot of blessing words, as well as longevity words!

The mother didn't explain too much, and told them that in the future, we would not stay in this cold, hungry, and impersonal place, but go to another village, where it is warm, with mountains and water, flowers and trees, and little butterflies......

Niuniu innocently asked her mother, is that place far away?

Xiuru told the child that it was not far at all, and she quickly ate the things that her mother brought back and finished eating..... Let's get on the road as a family.......

The children were hungry, gobbling up the things their mother brought back, Xiuru didn't clean up much, just wrapped a few more clothes for the children, didn't even take the bedding, and directly lit up her old house, and then hurriedly led the two children away.

.......

The fat lady, who was already furious, decided to fight with the thief who stole her spiritual power, and she got into the soil of the "baby garden" and came to the ice and snow world......

The regional distribution of the two heavens of the entire secret realm is not to say..... There is a certain distance between them, a bit similar to the two eyes of the Taiji Yin Yang Fish, one in the east and the other in the west!

In the vast snowy forest, the huge golden scorpion came out and quickly climbed in the direction of the small temple in the mountain village, like a galloping tank......

At this moment, she is extremely angry and aggrieved in her heart, this is to change to before, she can directly soar through the clouds, and now it is good..... You still need to crawl like a brute!

The trees along the way were knocked down, and the awakened golden scorpion was extremely hard, and in the dense woods, it was completely straight!

However..... When she reached the front of the mountain village, she saw a picture that almost suffocated her, but she saw ..... His two children were tied high to the flag pillar at the entrance of the village, their clothes were all stripped naked, and they were red and purple from the cold, Huzi only wore shorts, and Niuniu was even more pitiful, with only a belly pocket on her body!

"Mother.....!"

"Mother.....!"

The two children wept bloodily, ripping the fat girl's heart like a knife.

She flew over, and the huge pincers directly clamped the flag pillar at the entrance of the village, saving the two children......

The fat lady is crazy and wants to tear the whole world apart! But the strong motherhood makes her only take care of the child first!

She changed back into human form, took off her two coats, and wrapped them around her two babies.....

"Huzi! Niuniu! You guys quickly find a room to hide, someone is going to kill the mother, the mother is going to find it to settle accounts!"

Where do you know that at this time, these two children ..... I don't know if it was hidden in the snow before, or if it was secretly held with his backhand, and one person held a knife in his hand! The tiger forced the sky to pierce his own mother's neck and heart!

The fat lady was caught off guard, and let them pierce it, the knife handle was almost gone, and the dark green blood was like a blowout...... "whew" a guy gushed out!

She screamed, jumped backwards and flew six or seven meters away, lying on the ground and turning into a prototype, and the two knives were still stuck in the golden scorpion's body, all of which were "critical" positions!

The "blood" was still gushing, the true yuan leaked, and the boiling heat burned the surrounding ice and snow like boiling water, and at this time, two furry animals came out from behind the two broken houses at the entrance of the village, and with two roars, they pounced on the seriously injured golden scorpion.......

This time..... Is there anything more tragic than the fat lady? The two knives that pierced her body were not ordinary knives, they were both "special equipment" specially prepared for her, and they hit the nail on the head! A pair of strong enemies came one after another! This time..... The fat lady is afraid that she will be more auspicious and less auspicious.

Compared with the painful and sinister situation of the body, what made the fat lady collapse more was the torture of the soul, and at this moment she realized that the two babies were accused...... blamed himself for being too anxious, and when he saw the child suffering, he didn't care about anything, and his mind didn't turn much.

This is the way things are in the world, the more you have a preference in a certain aspect, the easier it is to fall into that aspect! If you like beauty, you are easy to be delayed and harmed by beauty, and even more so if you like money, there are also calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and even food......

Loving children is actually the same!

The brother and sister who stabbed their own mother twice, wearing their mother's clothes, stood in the snow and smiled, seeing their mother being beaten, they didn't feel distressed at all......
