River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 172 The Girl in the Backyard

The courtyard is quiet.

In the courtyard of the west wing, green bamboos are planted, forming patches of green shade.

Its branches and leaves have been densely covered, covering several aisles.

In front of the house is a clear stream.

The yard is introduced with running water, and a group of fish is raised in it.

Xu Shi usually took care of it well, and those fish were quite big.

Jiang Ling didn't feel sleepy, so he watched the scenery in the courtyard from the window for a while.

After half an hour passed, there was a faint cry from the back yard.

Sometimes sad, sometimes long.

Thinking of what He Xiang said when he left, Jiang Ling didn't care.

In this day and age, the more wealthy the family, the more things that are unclear.

As a guest, it is your duty to ignore them at this time.

After a while, the crying also stopped.

Jiang Ling lay on the couch, and gradually fell asleep.

In the past few days, I have been drifting at sea, and being able to sleep in a bed on land, the kind of peace and security is really nostalgic.

I only slept for a cup of tea,
A dream came suddenly.

In the dream, he saw a story happen from the third perspective.

A young man meets a young and beautiful girl at a temple fair.

Afterwards, the man sent someone to propose marriage and married the girl back.

In the first half a year, the two were very affectionate.

A few months later, the woman became pregnant, and everyone in the house was overjoyed.

After the full-term pregnancy, the woman's birthday came suddenly, and the man paced back and forth in front of the room that day, anxiously looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it, Mrs. Wen came out to announce the good news and told him that the baby was a young lady.

The man's heart was filled with joy, but half of it was lost in an instant.

After that, another half a year.

Women want to conceive again in order to make men happy.

The mother-in-law in the mansion reminded her at that time that she had just given birth to her daughter, more than half a year ago.

If you are too anxious to get pregnant, your body may not be able to handle it.

The woman didn't listen, and after eight months, she got her wish and became pregnant again.

But after giving birth, I realized that it was a daughter again.

If you talk about the first daughter, the man's attitude is just that he doesn't like it.

After witnessing the birth of the second daughter, it was a kind of disgust and disgust.

In the third year, the woman became pregnant again.

Then she gave birth to another daughter.

When the second daughter was born, there was a lot of gossip in the house.

Especially the relatives and friends who usually come and go, compared with their family, the house is full of children and grandchildren.

But the Duan family, why can't they even have a son?
Almost the entire Duan Mansion heard these words and remembered them in their hearts.

Mrs. Duan also told men that it would be easier for men to give birth to a son if they did not take a concubine.

But at that time, the man still had love for the woman in his heart, so he did not accept the proposal of taking a concubine.

Soon after, the third son was born.

The man waited for half a day in front of the delivery room again.
When Mrs. Wen came out to announce the good news, she said it was a daughter.

Thinking of those relatives and friends who have played with him since he was a child, once he learns that his third child is a daughter, I am afraid that he will make fun of him again.

Moreover, this is not only his personal face, but also the face of the entire Duan Mansion.

At that time, the man was so angry that he said "don't stay" to Mrs. Wen.

Granny Wen understood, so she went back to the room, took the water basin, and strangled the child to death in the water on the spot.

At that time, the woman had already passed out and didn't know about it yet.

When she woke up, she realized that the child was gone.

Since then, she has never had a smile on her face.

In the second month, the man took a concubine.

After taking a concubine, he rarely went to the woman's room again.

After she cultivated for a while, one time, she dressed up.

Deliberately meet a man in the back garden,
When the man saw her again, he remembered the first time he met her.

That night, he finally went to her place.

After that, the woman became pregnant for the fourth time.

After giving birth, she turned out to be a daughter again.

The man was furious, with the cruelty he had last time, he became familiar with the second time.

He directly wanted Mrs. Wen to kill the child, and he would never keep the child.

But this time, the woman did not fall asleep.

Seeing that Po Wen wanted to kill her child, she cried and begged to snatch it.

However, she was too weak.

During the snatch, the wound was torn, causing bleeding.

On that day, both daughter and child were mourned.

Duan Fu did not want this matter to spread.

It was handled in secret,

Buried the corpses of the mother and daughter together in the back garden.

In July of the same year, the man's concubine also gave birth.

Because the concubine was young, she encountered dystocia during childbirth.

Wen Po asked the man if he wanted to keep the big one or the young one.

A man dreams of having a son,
Now that the childbirth is imminent, he naturally wants to keep the child young.

The old lady in the mansion also asked to keep her young.

Mrs. Wen understood, and then entered the delivery room, and soon the woman's cry disappeared.

After a while, she brought out a child.

The man asked her if she was a man or a woman.

Granny Wen's face was ugly, and she delivered the babies before and after this section of the house.

She also knew that a man wanted a son,
However, the facts in front of her did not allow her to describe women as men.

He lifted the quilt and let the man take a look.

The man looked at the gender of the child, his face darkened for an instant, pointed at the child, and wanted her to deal with it again.

But when I thought about it, the one who had just grown up was dead.

A sudden movement of compassion is just a thought.

But the old lady also spoke at this time, and decisively asked people to dispose of the girl.

He also said that in order to prevent the Duan family from making jokes, whenever a daughter is born in the future, it is absolutely impossible to keep her.

Also since then,
Men take concubines every year,

Give birth every year.

But none of the sons she gave birth to was a man.

This seemed to be an unbreakable curse.

Gradually, there are many strange things happening in this mansion.

Soon after, Duan's family moved out.

This place is also empty.

In the dream, Jiang Ling was like watching a movie.

Both lamented the sorrow of those women, and resented the ruthlessness of that man.

'How can we blame women for giving birth to boys and girls? '

When the dream ended, he also woke up.

Looking at the burning candles in the room,

It seemed that his dream just now should have lasted about half an hour.

"This dream looks so real!"

The man in the dream seemed to be Duan Daguan when he was young.

The background of the story is also in this house.

This dream was so bizarre, after Jiang Ling lamented the misfortune of women in this era, he didn't take it seriously and just sat cross-legged in meditation.

The moonlight is bright outside the window,

After entering meditation, the surrounding Yin Qi rolled in continuously.

'The yin energy in this period of the mansion is really heavy. '

In the silence, there was a rustling sound outside the partition wall.

It seemed that one person was climbing over the wall, and the other missed and fell to the ground.

Also made a sound out of pain.

Jiang Ling got up from his meditation, quietly left the room, jumped up, and stood on the top of the wall.

Surrounded by lush bamboo branches, he hides in it, blending with the darkness.

On the open space next to the wall, a girl was holding a bamboo basket filled with incense and paper money, went to a weedy field, and knelt down.

Crying and burning incense.

Not a moment later, the fire in the backyard was discovered.

Just shouted.

Listen to the voice, it's the steward of the nursing home.

The girl panicked when she heard the voice.

Hastily collected the things, and had to go back the same way.

But when I got to the wall, I couldn't climb it. The more panicked, the harder it was to climb.

Seeing that the nurse was about to come here with a lantern,
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the top of the wall.

The girl almost cried out when she saw it.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the person calling her name on the wall.

After a little hesitation, she held out her little hand,

Being pulled by the other party, he climbed onto the wall lightly.

Before the nursing home came, she even felt that someone was hugging her waist, her heart was beating wildly, her body floated again, and she fell off the wall and arrived in the west wing courtyard.
