Chapter 796 Gained and Lost

Wenpo couldn't help but think—could this be God's will?

Between mother and child, only one can live?
The father and son were drinking tea and chatting with friends in the front hall, when they heard Mrs. Wen hurried over and asked: "Master Qi, Master Qi, the young mistress is having a difficult labor, is it Mr. Bao or... the child?"

"Of course it's a child, so there's no need to talk about it?" Master Qi said angrily.

Although Wenpo had guessed this result a long time ago, she still felt a little cold in her heart, but what could be done about it.

While wiping the sweat from his forehead, he quickly ran back to the delivery room in the backyard.

The mother's body is already broken, and if the adult is saved, she will not be able to give birth in the future.

In such a family, if she hadn't given birth to a boy, she might not be able to keep her status, and life would be difficult.

It's better to fulfill the little one now, and finally leave a line of blood for himself.

……

In less than a month, the whole Fengyin City spread the word that Jian'an Temple is the most effective and will respond to every request.

A certain family hadn't had a child for many years. After going to make a wish, a boy was indeed born.

A certain Jinshi who had been in the examination for decades failed to pass the examination. After making a wish, he was among the top three in the second year.

A certain family was poor, and after making a wish, when she was grazing cattle the next day, she encountered a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and sold it for dozens of taels of silver...

For a while, the incense of Jian'an Temple was very prosperous, and the faithful men and women who went to make a wish formed a line on the mountain road.

As time went by, people gradually realized that something was wrong.

It seems that when the wish comes true, the matter is not over.

The woman who gave birth to a boy as she wished died of blood loss due to dystocia.

People who won Jinshi soon got official positions, but within three months of taking office, they were all ransacked and beheaded.It turned out that someone deliberately arranged for him to be a pawn to replace the dead ghost, but the whole family was affected.

After the cowherd got the money, he lived a life of debauchery, lived in a brothel, and soon spent all the money.Because he fell in love with the life of pleasure and refused to leave, he was beaten into a disability, thrown on the street, and was bitten to death by wild dogs.

... There are many other examples like this. While their wishes were fulfilled, they were also deprived of their most precious thing—life.

People were crazy from the beginning to the end when they talked about Jian'an Temple.

But things didn't stop there, after all, no one could control the idea of ​​making a wish.

In less than ten years, the entire Fengyin City has almost become a dead city.

……

A tattered woman whose clothes were hooked by thorns, with a baby in her arms, walked into this dilapidated temple.

With a plop, he knelt down in front of the only mud statue left, and said decisively: "Please bless the gods, give my son a way to survive. I know you are efficacious, and I am willing to exchange my life, as long as my son I will grow up safely, even if I am allowed to be a cow or a horse in the next life, I am willing."

After finishing speaking, she slammed her head three times on the stone slab in front of her.

There was a buzzing in her head, and she seemed to hear a voice in her head saying: "God is not joking, are you really willing to trade your life and the next life for your son's life?"

When the woman heard this voice, she felt an inexplicable sense of solemnity, and at the same time, there was a bit of chill that pierced into the bone marrow, which made her feel a little fear in the bottom of her heart.

wow - wow -

At this moment, the child in her arms cried, she was so tender and helpless.

She has just come to this world, her life has not started yet, she has not been able to enjoy life well, how can she, a mother, watch her being killed by those people?
Just because of one person's fault, all the families are going to be executed, even such a young child?
Thinking of this, she bowed her head again and said: "I am willing, as long as she grows up safely, I am willing to exchange my life for her life, and use my afterlife to be a cow and a horse in exchange for her life's peace."

Just as she finished speaking, the sound of government servants searching came from behind her.

She hurriedly hid the child in the grass behind the statue, "Pearl, don't cry later, you must grow up safely, mother can't accompany you anymore, you must be sensible..."

When the woman returned to the front hall again, the officers and soldiers who were chasing her had already arrived.

Holding a bright sword at her, "Tell me, where did you hide the remnants of the Murong Mansion? Tell me quickly, and we will give you a happy ending, otherwise we will put you in death row, and you will die if you want to live!"

Upon hearing the word death row, the woman's body instinctively flinched.

She knew that she was bound to die, so she responded repeatedly: "I said, I said..."

Standing up tremblingly, while the few people were not paying attention, he bumped into the idol next to him.

The brain burst on the spot, and the dead couldn't die anymore.

Several officers and soldiers scolded bad luck, and searched around the weedy courtyard.

The big shining blade slashed across the swaddle, but he didn't see the baby, and then he could only drag the woman's body away.

Not long after the officers and soldiers left, a woodcutter collecting firewood passed by and heard the cry of a child from inside.

Pulling open the straw cage, I saw a baby in swaddling clothes.

It happened that the wife was not pregnant and wanted a child, so she didn't even pick firewood, and took the child back directly.

……

A woman with a turban covering her entire head and face, with only her two eyes exposed, trekked hard in a mountain forest full of dense thorns.

There was a dark woman in her forties in front of her, carrying a heavy package, blocking her way with one hand, using her body to open the way for the girl behind.

The coarse cloth clothes he was wearing had been cut into strips, and the exposed skin was also scratched with blood marks.

From time to time, she turned her head and spoke to the girl, with anxiety and uneasiness in her tone.

"Miss, I think it's better to forget it. I heard that there are very evil people there. But anyone who makes a wish there will end up..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, a young girl's voice interrupted her: "Mother Qin, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind. As far as I am concerned, if I keep living in such an ugly way, I would rather die!"

The mother only sighed softly in her heart: "But I heard that this place is really evil..."

She is the young lady's nanny, so it can be said that besides her own mother...or someone who takes care of her more than her own mother.

Of course she feels sorry for the young lady's current appearance, but, but this appearance is destined by the heavens, how can it be changed?
Yulan sneered and said: "Do you remember the Qiqiao Festival last time, I also thought that he would be different from ordinary people and would not care about my appearance, but you have also seen that he was so courteous to my sister, not only made me ashamed Call me ugly, and treat me like a slave. Why do you give my sister all the good things, face, figure, and I am so ugly? I want to be the most beautiful woman in the world. I want to make him regret it, let everyone They all look at me with admiration!"
