Royal Master Painter

Chapter 102 Mother and Son

Under the moonlight not far away, there unexpectedly appeared another person with exactly the same decoration as You Pinger, dressed in red and full of hair, sitting on a stone with his back to Jiang Li, and the paper crane he released earlier was On her shoulders!

"How could there be two You Pinger?"

Not only Jiang Greed had never seen such a scene, even his grandfather had never written it in his handbook.

In order to find out, Jiang Greed cautiously approached the second You Ping'er.

"You Pinger?"

Jiang Li called out twice but didn't get any response. When he turned the woman in red with her back turned to him, Jiang Li was so scared that he took a few steps back.

This You Ping'er's face was completely rotted, and after getting close, she could smell the stench from her whole body.

"This is…"

"Is this You Ping'er's body?"

Jiang Gu searched all night and couldn't find it. How could he not be shocked when he appeared in front of his eyes in such an appearance, and the corpse kept changing positions!

What made Jiang Lian even more unbelievable was that You Pinger's corpse had exposed bones in both hands and arms, but it was holding a baby in its arms!
"Where did the child come from"

The baby took long breaths, curled up and hugged You Pinger's boneless hand, sleeping soundly.

It was obviously a very scary scene, but it was so warm at this time.

When Jiang Greed was about to pick up the baby, a big snake sprang out from the forest beside it. The body of the snake rolled up You Ping'er's body, and it opened its mouth to spit out a message, as if warning Jiang Greed to back off.

The strength of this big snake is already at the peak of the Xuanling Realm, and it even faintly exudes the aura of the Sunshine Realm.

Seeing the big snake protecting You Pinger, Jiang Li also understood, no wonder he couldn't find the body no matter how hard he searched, it turned out he was taken away by the big snake.

"You have been hiding from me with her body?"

Big Snake nodded.

"Death cannot be brought back to life, please let me bury her"

It was the big snake's tail that answered Jiang Greed, and it swept over him, forcing him back.

"You don't want her to be buried? Then who is this baby?"

The big snake lowered its head, and put its head in front of Jiang Li. After Jiang Li put his hand on the snake's head, the surrounding scene changed instantly.

At this moment, Jiang Greed appeared under a dry well, and curled up in the corner was a woman in red with a sharp knife stuck in her chest. It was You Ping'er.

Jiang Greed actually came to Orochi's memory.

"Sir, sir, save me..."

It's a pity that You Ping'er's voice was so weak that it couldn't be heard outside the well.

"what…."

You Pinger suddenly struggled, covering her stomach with her hands, the wound on her chest triggered the fetal gas, causing the pregnant woman to give birth prematurely.

You Pinger's painful groans could be heard intermittently from under the dry well. She fainted several times, but struggled to wake up several times.

"I can't die, I can't die yet..." You Pinger kept telling herself so in a low voice.

Seeing You Ping'er enduring severe pain and trying hard to give birth to a baby, this tenacious woman deeply touched Jiang Lian.

Jiang Greed couldn't help but wanted to help, but this was just Orochi's memory, he couldn't change anything, he could only be a bystander of the most tragic scene in the world.

Finally, with a cry, the child who was born three months premature was finally born safely.

Jiang Greed felt the miracle and stubbornness of life. You Pinger was clearly on the verge of death, but she was so strong that she didn't fall down, but stood up instead.

Jiang Greed finally knew how the bloody scratches he saw in the dry well came from. You Pinger was covered in blood, holding the child in one hand, and grabbing the wall of the well with the other, trying to use her last strength to climb out. Here, send your own children away from the dry well.

I fell down again and again, and got up again and again, just for the sleeping child in my arms.

Without milk, You Pinger fed with her own blood.

Her hand was scratched by the hard sand and stone on the well wall, but You Pinger didn't realize it.

At this moment, he has lost all consciousness and intuition, and there is only one obsession in his mind, which is to send this child out!
Jiang Greed touched his face, and at some point two streams of hot tears welled up in his eyes, he could feel the despair of this woman.

Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong. Even if You Pinger died, she never forgot to love her child deeply!
Just when You Pinger was about to fall, a big snake appeared at the bottom of the dry well.

With the last of her consciousness, You Ping'er handed the newly born baby to the big snake with her hands full of blood. After the weak body fell down, the last touch of tenderness in her eyes was given to the child.

All things are psychic, and the big snake may also be moved, and took the baby out of the dry well.

But the mother and child were connected, and the sleeping baby seemed to have noticed something, and started crying as soon as it left the mother's hand, and it didn't stop for a whole day.

In desperation, the big snake took the baby back to the dry well and put it on You Pinger's cold body.

Feeling the embrace of the mother, the baby stopped crying and slept soundly, even though the embrace no longer had any warmth.

For a whole year after that, the big snake would leave the dry well with the baby every day, catch the female beasts in the mountains to nurse them during the day, and return at night. If there was no You Ping'er in bed, she would cry endlessly, even if You Ping'er's body was dead. Started to rot in midsummer.

After coming out of Orochi's memory, Jiang Li's mood was still difficult to calm down.

"I sympathize with what happened to You Pinger and this child, but he is a human being, and a human being should live in a human way. I hope you will allow me to take him away."

"This child still has a grandfather in Youshan Village, why not give it to his grandfather"

Big Snake sent You Pinger and the child away, agreeing to do so.

But when Jiang Li just carried the child out of the corpse, the child woke up immediately, opened his eyes like snake pupils, and bit Jiang Li's arm.

hiss….
Jiang Greed's arm was bleeding, but all he could do was to comfort the child, and finally he had no choice but to take out the red-clothed paper figurine from his arms.

After seeing the red-clothed paper figure, the child let go of Jiang Li's arm, and his eyes became human pupils. Then he hugged the paper figure and continued to sleep.

Strange to say, the red-clothed paper figurine possessed a strong sinister aura, but when the child held it, the evil aura gradually subsided, for fear of hurting this fragile life.

Jiang Greed found a place to dig a grave and buried the poor woman, but no monument was erected.

"You can see Youshan Village here, and you can also see your child. I don't think you will blame me for taking her away from you." Jiang Greed said to himself and then sighed again.

Jiang Greed returned with the child in his arms, and the big snake followed him for a long time until they entered the village before leaving.

Old man You burst into tears when he saw the child, especially when he heard from Jiang Li that You Ping'er was not dead when he was pushed into the dry well. The last obsession gave birth to the baby. He kept kowtowing outside the gate, his old body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Painter Jiang, you are the savior of this child, please give him a name."

Jiang Greed touched the child who was sleeping soundly with the paper figurine in his arms, thinking that the child had encountered extreme evil and misery in the world since he was born.

"Jing means peace. If you don't mind, please call the child You Jing'er."

"Thank you, Painter Jiang!" Old man You was grateful.

"Thank you for taking care of me during the time here, I have other things that I can't stay here for a long time now," Jiang Greed said.

"Painter Jiang, you are not from Youshan Village in the first place, so it is reasonable to leave, but you have to repay such a great kindness. Wait for me first."

The old man You kept searching in the cabinet, and finally found a bamboo slip that was about to rot.

"I also heard from my ancestors that the earliest ancestors of our Youshan Village were also enlightened scholars. This is something that has been passed down from generation to generation. I don't understand the words on it, so you can take it."

"Since it is an ancestral thing, how can I want it?"

Jiang Greed wanted to refuse, but Old Man You insisted on handing over the bamboo slips to him.

Jiang Li flipped through it, and he couldn't understand the words on the bamboo slips at all, so he simply put them in the book tube.
