Chapter 20 Repay Qiongju
The mirrors that the woman in the hat changed out were full of scenes of Zi Yan's life every day after that, and the mirrors flashed in front of Lu Zheng's eyes in a line. Lu Zheng secretly admired this woman's spell in his heart, which was mysterious and magical, and she could show herself everything she saw in the world by such means.
Seeing the figure in the mirror flashing in front of his eyes, Lu Zheng quickly threw himself into it, and at the beginning, what he saw in the mirror was Zi Yan's ordinary daily life. After that night, Zi Yan went back to live in the abandoned hut, and the people in the village no longer dared to harass her. What's more, the people in the village not only didn't dare to continue to talk about it, but also really regarded the white wolf as the father of the child in Zi Yan's belly in their hearts.
The people of the village were terrified of the white wolf, and the horror of that night was shocking. Although, in fact, that night, apart from the death of Wangsheng alone, and the discovery that Wangsheng's father had become insane the next morning, the other villagers were only frightened, and there was no other misfortune. And speaking of which, Wangsheng actually died under the farm tools thrown out by everyone, not by the white wolf.
But the people in the village naturally thought that he was killed by the white wolf, but of course they didn't dare to say this on the surface. They all said that the white wolf was the incarnation of the mountain god, and Zi Yan was pregnant with the child of the mountain god in her belly, and she wanted to die, because he wanted to rob his wife with the mountain god, so he deserved to die. Since then, the attitude of the people in the village towards Zi Yan's family has changed greatly, just like after Zi Yan's accident, they don't dare to talk too much to this family, but their attitude is contempt and contempt from before. It became the awe and humility that we have today.
As for Zi Yan, they are even more in awe, and often collect all kinds of good food and clothing in the village, and then send them to Zi Yan by the sisters before Zi Yan. They didn't want to do it, but their parents forced them to do it. After they came to the mountain, Zi Yan was also very happy, she knew that these sisters had never changed anything about themselves, they had interrupted the food they had given to themselves, and now they were holding things to see themselves, it was all their parents' idea. Not what they meant. That's why I'm very enthusiastic about them. Talk and laugh, just like before.
But those sisters seemed a little restrained, looking around to see if the white wolf was not there, and then heard Zi Yan say that he was not there. That's just a little easier. But when it comes to speaking. It looks very restrained. Sometimes, when one of them said something straightforwardly, it was immediately stopped by the other people with various glances. After chatting for a while, Zi Yan felt that she was no longer as comfortable as before. I lost the interest in chatting.
When those girls saw Zi Yan's unhappy face and didn't speak, they said goodbye one after another. Zi Yan didn't stay, but just asked them to bring back everything they brought. She had a white wolf bring her fruit to eat every day, and she didn't need those things at all, but for the sake of the love of sisters in the past, she left a quilt. Originally, she didn't accept anything, but those girls were a little embarrassed on their faces, and they were relieved to see that she had left the quilt.
Looking at the figures of those sisters descending the mountain, Zi Yan shed tears, and she knew that she and them could no longer be the same as before. The only thing that makes Zi Yan feel relieved is that Yuan'er treats herself exactly the same as before, but she never thinks about herself as her sister.
She often came to see her, sometimes for most of the day, or simply spent the night at her side, and the sisters hardly said anything. Zi Yan lives alone and lonely, so her concubine will tell her about the affairs of the village. And Fei'er will also feel strange about what happened to her sister, and after listening to the discussion of the people in the village, she couldn't help but ask Ziyan once if the child in her belly was the mountain god white wolf. Zi Yan asked why, and then she learned that the people in Ludao Village regarded the white wolf as the mountain god, and also set up an altar in the village, and set the day to worship the mountain god white wolf every year. In the village, no one dared to call her by her name, but called her Mrs. White Wolf, or the Mother of the Mountain God.
Zi Yan listened to such a move in the village, and she didn't know whether she should cry or laugh, and now only Fei'er dared to ask such a thing in front of her. In fact, she also thought about how the child in her womb came to be, and wondered if it was a white wolf, because this white wolf can not only fly, but also understand human nature, and can change into many doppelgangers.
After thinking about it for two days, early one morning, when Zi Yan took advantage of the white wolf to bring her fruit, she had the courage to ask the white wolf. As a result, the white wolf really understood her words, but not only did it not admit that it was indeed its child in her belly, but also looked extremely frightened, shaking its head and retreating, while prostrate on the ground towards Zi Yan, making a kneeling gesture.
Seeing this, Zi Yan didn't know why the white wolf knelt down to her, but she also knew that the child in her belly was definitely not the white wolf. So she asked the white wolf where the baby in her womb came from. As a result, the white wolf only barked three times towards the sky, bowed down to Zi Yan again, and then turned away, disappearing in an instant.
Zi Yan didn't understand what it meant, and when she looked at the sky in a daze, the white wolf had gone. She stood alone outside the house for a long time, and thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up, and said in her heart, this child must have been given to her by God, so don't think about anything else. Seeing that Yuan'er asked, she told Yuan'er that the child was not a white wolf, but God let her conceive. She didn't care how the people in the village would treat her again because of this.
When the concubine passed this back, the people in the village were skeptical, and some said that since this was the case, there was no need to worship the mountain god again. But some said that whether it was the child of the white wolf or not, but Zi Yan always had a white wolf to worship her and guard her, and the white wolf was the mountain god, and it was not wrong to sacrifice well every year. The crowd tried to understand the joints, and no one objected to them. But since then, no one has called Lady Ziyan and White Wolf again, just called her the Mountain Goddess Mother.
When Fei'er was playing with Zi Yan, once Zi Yan gave her the fruit left by the white wolf to eat, but after only one bite, Fei'er fell to the ground and fell unconscious, emitting all kinds of red spots all over her body, and she fell asleep for a long time before she woke up, and the red spots also subsided. This time she was so frightened that Zi Yan didn't dare to give her any more food, it seems that this fruit was specially given to her by the white wolf. No one else can eat it. Fei'er was also a little afraid, but I don't know if it was because of eating this mouthful of fruit, but Fei'er never got sick again.
In addition to her concubine, Ziyan's mother also came back to visit her occasionally, brought her some food and clothing, and talked to her. But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Zi Yan can't eat anything else, and she only eats a mouthful of wine and spits out the food her mother brought. Zi Yan's mother saw it, and tears welled up in her eyes. said that her daughter was going to be a fairy. I can't eat the fireworks in the world.
Zi Yan's father had never come with him, and I don't know if Lu Dao became much more silent because of guilt or other reasons. Listen to what Concubine'er said. Every time she talked to her mother about her sister at home. Daddy would cough, look angry, and then go outside the door and sit down. Expressing his unwillingness to listen. But Fei'er told Zi Yan that in fact, her father pricked up his ears outside the door every time, and once he was discovered by Yuan'er, and he lost his temper first, scolded Fei'er a few words in a mess, and then hurriedly went to work in the field, making Yuan'er and her mother laugh together for a day.
Then one night, Zi Yan was about to blow out the lights and fall asleep, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps approaching outside the wall, and then she saw a person standing outside the wall. It wasn't the person standing at the window, but Zi Yan saw it through the thick wall. Since she began to eat these fruits, her body has become lighter and lighter, and her eyes and ears have also changed strangely, for example, at this moment she heard the man's deliberately lighter steps, ignoring the obstruction of the wall, and seeing the person standing outside the wall.
She saw very clearly that it was not someone who was not serious enough to harass her, but her father. He stood outside the wall, with a very complicated expression on his face, and he seemed to want to call the door, but at last he only opened his mouth but did not make a sound. He turned around several times to leave, but he finally walked back, and when he reached the end, he squatted down outside the wall, leaned against the wall, and sighed slightly.
Zi Yan didn't know whether to call her father or ignore him for a while, so the light never went out, but just watched her father squatting outside her wall. In the past, Daddy couldn't hurt himself enough, but since he was pregnant with a child for no reason, Daddy has become afraid to admit it anymore. She once thought in her heart that she would never recognize this father again, but at this time, listening to his sigh and seeing his figure made her heart soften again.
No matter what he did to himself, he was always the one who braved the rain to take him home!
Zi Yan's father sat outside the wall until midnight and went back, never calling the door, Zi Yan just watched her father sit in the corner of the wall all night, she didn't call him, but gently walked to the wall and sat down as well, leaning back against her father across the wall. The light on the table had already gone out on its own because of the lack of oil, and the father and daughter sat across the wall in the darkness for half the night.
After about a year like this, Zi Yan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, but the strange thing is that the child has no signs of being born, she can still move freely, doing all kinds of things every day, spinning and weaving, sewing clothes, and making shoes, all for the child in her belly. It's just that the child was not born, which made her really worried, and her mother couldn't figure it out, so she wanted to ask the village doctor to come and see, but the doctor refused to agree. After the last moment, Zi Yan had no choice but to ask the white wolf, but the white wolf barked a few times, as if to tell her not to worry.
More than a year later, on the day when Zi Yan was three years pregnant, she was making a small dress in bed. In the past three years, she didn't know how many pieces of such small clothes Lu Dao had made, because she didn't know whether Lu Dao was pregnant with a man or a woman, so she made a set for men and women. Suddenly, a sharp pain in her abdomen came, and she knew in her heart that the child was about to be born!
But there was no one left and right, so she had to shout at the white wolf. Soon, she heard a wolf howl in the distance, and Zi Yan's heart was relieved. But at this moment, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared on her belly, filling the entire room. There was an anxious cry of the white wolf outside the door, but it never entered the door, Zi Yan was anxious for a while, thinking that it was the golden light that blocked it out, so she shouted loudly for the white wolf to pick up her mother and concubine. The white wolf immediately barked and immediately rushed away.
The golden light on her stomach continued to shoot out, and bursts of pain came from her lower body, Zi Yan looked down at her stomach, but she was startled, her stomach turned transparent. There was a fetus curled up in the belly, holding a jade pendant-like thing in his hand, and the golden light emanated from the jade pendant. (To be continued......)
