Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 20
Beimian noticed that this was near a land called Yuquan Township. The strange barrier between the two peaks here was actually something that even a person with a Nascent Soul realm like him couldn't break.

It shows that the cultivation level of the person who put up the barrier is still higher than him.

Moreover, after Gardenia entered this barrier, she came out with a white-haired baby in her arms, which also made him very curious.Who gave birth to that baby?Gardenia Why would a girl who just turned 16 take him away?
After about half an hour of driving, Gardenia was lucky and soon found a small village.After asking around, I found out that this place was originally called Yuquan Township.

The mountain springs here pass around the village and are pure and sweet all year round, hence the name.

It is also because of the year-round mountain spring water that the crops in the fields and the flowers, plants and trees along the road here grow exceptionally green.

When Gardenia arrived here, she saw endless rice fields. The slender green wheat leaves were covered with clear and translucent dew, like a bead that had absorbed water, swaying with the breeze.

Seeing that there was a house, she looked at An He who had just opened his sleepy eyes, and breathed a long sigh of relief: There is a house, and there is food. That's great. Now An He won't starve.

She originally planned to find An He to be fostered by a kind-hearted family, because it was not appropriate for a 16-year-old girl to take a baby on the road alone, not to mention that she did not know how to take care of a baby.

Although Anhe's fetal hair was pure white like milk, he looked delicate and cute, and was in good health. I believed it would not be difficult to find someone to adopt him, but Gardenia didn't expect that she asked several families in a row, but there was no one. People are willing to adopt An He.

Some people looked at Gardenia with strange eyes, probably because they saw her as a little girl carrying a newborn baby, and their eyes looked at her with a bit of contempt.

"Alas..." Gardenia couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and sighed, "If that doesn't work, Xiao An will have to follow her sister." It's just that it's inevitable to suffer hardships like this. An He is growing up, so he may not be able to survive such a wandering life. good.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a few coughs coming from the side. Gardenia followed the sound and saw a couple, about 40 years old, who had just finished their farm work in the fields and were standing on the roadside. .

The woman was coughing hard. She was sweating a lot and her face was red. She coughed for a long time but there was no phlegm.

Gardenia frowned and couldn't help but shouted to the two of them, "Uncle, why is this lady still working in the fields when she is sick?"

The uncle looked sideways and saw that it was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a baby in her arms.When the woman heard this, she turned her head to look and noticed the baby in the girl's arms.

The baby was chubby and had fair skin. His two soft little hands were holding the girl's finger while he was sipping. He didn't cry. He looked so cute that the two of them couldn't help but look at it several times.

"Farmers are like this. A minor illness is not a problem." The woman started chatting with Gardenia without waiting for the uncle to talk. "Why is the girl sitting alone on the roadside with a baby in her arms? I'm afraid this child is... Are you hungry?"

Her words revealed her love and affection for An He, and she stared at An He in Gardenia's arms without blinking.

Gardenia is good at picking up on people's words. From the first moment she saw An He, this woman's eyes could never be separated from her.

So, she pretended to be pitiful and nodded, "Well, my brother has been hungry for several hours..."

"Ah!" When the two people heard what Gardenia said, they were both shocked and asked, "What's the reason? Why did you bring your brother here alone? Where are your father and your mother?"

When Gardenia mentioned her parents, she thought of Ade and Afu again, but she could no longer hear their words of concern for her in the past. She felt sad and couldn't help but shed tears:

"Dad... and mother have both passed away, leaving only my brother and me... But I am a girl, so I don't know how to take care of my brother. My brother has been hungry for a long time..."

Although there were some fabrications in her words, they were all true. Her parents were indeed no longer alive. Although Gardenia was not good at lying, the sad look on her face at this time was not bad at all. It's really, really pitiable.The aunt hurriedly said, "Well...if you don't mind, girl, come to our house and feed your brother something to eat. I happen to have some gruel that melts in your mouth and some rice noodles at home. Bring them here." Make it into rice cereal and feed it to your brother."

Gardenia was grateful and followed the two of them to their home.

Along the way, the two men told Gardenia some of the family situation. It turned out that the male owner's surname was Qi, and he was the third eldest child in the family, so he was called Qi Laosan.His wife was also called Mrs. Feng of the Qi family. The two met after being introduced by a matchmaker. After getting married, the Qi family has been following Mr. Qi in ordering crops and selling them at the nearby market. She was able to make ends meet and lived a good life for many years. Yes, the husband sings and the wife follows.

There is only one unfulfilled wish, which is that they have never had children since they got married. Now in the blink of an eye, they are already in their forties, but Qi's stomach has been silent, and she fell ill for no reason a few days ago. , I looked at many doctors nearby but they didn’t feel any better.

Gardenia roughly understood the situation of Qi Laosan's family and had some plans in mind: Although the two of them were not very wealthy, they were hard-working and had sufficient food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they happened to be almost fifty years old. child.

If Xiao An is placed in their home, it might be a very good choice.

Thinking of this, Gardenia asked Qi for some rice cereal made from rice flour and fed it to Xiao An.

Xiao An was afraid that he had been hungry for a long time, so he opened his mouth wide open every time he took a bite. He swallowed the whole mouthful without smacking twice. He almost swallowed the little spoon that was used to feed him.

"Slow down, slow down, and the baby... is so cute." Mrs. Qi looked at it politely for a long time, but couldn't help it anymore, so she reached out and wiped the rice cereal from the corner of Xiao An's mouth.The expression was quite full of love and pity.

Anhe ate the rice cereal and soon closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep peacefully in Gardenia's arms.

Gardenia deliberately concealed An He's life experience, mainly because she was worried that Qi Laosan and his wife would find a child born in a sea of ​​flowers strange.

"Then... Miss, you are not yet married, and you are young and have a baby. What are your... plans for the future?" Ms. Qi asked Gardenia cautiously.

Gardenia had already understood Qi's true love for Anhe, so she no longer planned to hide it, and told her that she wanted to entrust Anhe to a good family for adoption.

Ms. Qi couldn't help but feel happy, but she coughed a few more times, but it was still very difficult, but there was no phlegm.She was afraid that Gardenia would think she was sick and would not leave An He to her, so she struggled to explain for a long time.

"Girl, don't think I'm sick, but it's a minor illness and pain, and I'll be fine in a few days. Although our family is not very rich, fortunately, we have both hands and feet, so we have no worries about food and clothing. , not to mention that we both also like children. If you are trustworthy and are willing to give us the child to raise, I, Qi, promise that I will not treat your brother Xiaoan badly in the future."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Xu put some effort and started coughing again. She couldn't stop coughing until she leaned over.

Seeing this, Gardenia already had a rough understanding of Qi's illness, and then she said, "Aunt Feng, to be honest with you, I am a doctor and have seen many patients with my father Ade since I was a child. Maybe I can cure your illness."

Qi Laosan heard what Gardenia said at the side and immediately said with joy: "Seriously? My wife's illness has been cured by many doctors nearby, but none of her can be cured. If the girl really cures her, your medical expenses will be indispensable."

After hearing this, Gardenia handed An He into Aunt Feng's arms and bowed to the two of them, "There is no need to pay for the diagnosis. I see that you two are kind-hearted people. I only hope that you two can adopt her." My brother An He, as long as An He lives well in the future, you two will be my great benefactors to Gardenia."

After saying that, she bowed to the two of them again and kowtowed solemnly, which meant that she had found a good family for An He to trust.

She had made a plan in her mind. Even if she went to Taixu Mountain to learn from a teacher, she would often visit An He. After all, she had recognized him as her younger brother in her heart.
