Chapter 430 Winter passes and spring comes
".What terrible words."

Chen Dongchun was smiling, but his eyes were clearly full of tears.

Chen Dongchun said:

"I finally know why those people looked at me like that when they robbed me."

"Am I just a chunk of gold to them?"

"I thought I would be scared, run away, scream, yell at the hypocrisy of men during this time but no."

"Or, before I cried, the woman next to me hugged me."

"And I also heard what the man said."

"He said--

'Forget it, it's true that my wife is crazy, but she has lived with me for most of her life. She doesn't know when I will die, so why bother? '

'I won't change my wife. '

'If you don't change your wife, you can't change your children either. Otherwise, how can I have a wife? '"

"There was some noise inside the house, and then the guest slammed the door and left."

"The man chased me out and saw me on the porch."

Chen Dongchun slowly covered his face:

"I did the most wrong thing in my life."

"I opened my mouth and called him daddy."

My heart was shaken, and Chen Dongchun said again:
".It's not that I regret calling him daddy."

"I regret not calling him dad earlier."

"I was too young, too young."

"I didn't even know the explanation. I was originally prepared to accept him as my father, and by the time I finally understood the explanation, he was already dying."

"Before he died, he always thought that I was afraid of death and being thrown into the lake, so he recognized him as his father."

Chen Dongchun's cry came from the gaps between his fingers, with the meaning of despair:
"So, from the moment I called him dad, he held his breath and wanted to be nice to me."

"They want to be nice to me in every way, so."

[After that day, my father took me to find the village chief. The village chief looked up from the pile of sacrifices with a look of disbelief:
'Go to the genealogy? go to school? '

'Isn't this the little piggy kid from outside? What school to go to? '

'Your poor family only has a little more than an acre of land, has no children before, and has never participated in a ceremony to worship immortals. The poor people have their clothes worn out and turned into trousers, and their trousers turned into face towels. Where are you? Money to go to school? '

'Lao Chen is the only family in our village still farming. Did you know? '

Dad laughed along:
"I have a special affinity with this child, which is a rare thing. Moreover, my legs and feet are like this, and my wife is like that. Even if I have money, I won't have a child. I can't give birth to it." '

'So, it's just him. I'll give him a genealogy, so he can be regarded as someone who will hold incense and throw pots in the future. '

I kind of forgot how many nice things my dad said that day.

My father may not have said as many words to me in his entire life as he did that day.

He took Aniang and me home again and began to think of a name for me.

Dad himself didn’t go to school, and he didn’t know a few Chinese characters.

But he still came up with a name for me that would be good in his mind——

Winter and spring. 】

"Winter and spring."

Teacher Chen Dongchun read out the name slowly and carefully wrote each stroke of his name in the air:
"Not only girls can be called Haru."

"Boys can do it too."

"Dad told me that the name means that when winter passes, spring will come, and spring is the season of sowing vitality."

"He is an honest countryman, and caring for crops has been engraved in his bones. We have a high altitude here, and wheat can only be harvested once a year, and it can only be sown in the spring."

"So, spring is the most important season for him."

Chen Dongchun smiled, but his eyes were still red:
"And I am his favorite child in his life."

[After that day, people in the village seemed to treat me differently.

At least, my peers will no longer call me 'little piggy' or throw stones at me.

Although, there weren't many originally. No, I mean, it's not that I didn't have a lot of peers who bullied me.

But
Not many 'peers'.

These are two concepts.

There are almost no children my age in the whole village.

To be precise, except for the village chief and a few well-known wealthy families who still have children crying in their homes, most people in the village do not have children under the age of twelve at home. 】

No, children under twelve years old?

What is this concept?
A village is destined to have many families, and it is impossible that except for a few specific families, no one else has given birth to a single child in twelve years.

Unless, there is.

But, disappeared.

In Longhu Village, one of Chen Dongchun's adoptive father and mother is disabled and the other is crazy. They are the real vulnerable groups.

Spring is worth saving than winter, and children have a better future and more vitality than old people.

Logically speaking, the probability of the Chen family being 'abandoned' would be greater.

But unfortunately, the Chen family and his wife were not forced to throw themselves into the lake.

What does this prove?
This proves——

The villagers made a 'weird' transaction with Longhu, and the goods traded were not obviously vulnerable people, but children.

Perhaps, most likely, they are still children under the age of twelve.

Familiar characteristics.

I immediately recalled the Venerable White and his group I met on the way to Longhu.

Their suitcases were all filled with small children.
In other words, except for some sturdier children, most were obviously younger than twelve years old.

I originally thought that it might be because it is easier to abduct children, and children do not have such a strong sense of logic, are not good at escaping, and other reasons.
But, I never expected——

This is basically a disaster for the 'children'.

Chen Dongchun slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"I soon found out why there weren't any kids my age."

"Because this village needs children. But, it doesn't need children."

Chen Dongchun's hand on the table was shaking so much that the old table kept shaking and making a lingering creaking sound.

But he didn't realize it, just talking about the nightmare of his youth——

[For most people in the village, having children is just a 'means' to exchange money.

I attended the Immortal Worship Hall and listened to a lot of 'legends' about the past.

After the "weird" things happened in Longhu, the originally peaceful villagers fell into a strange madness.

Not to mention the newly married bride who has to give birth to three or five children, even those old women who are already in their fifties and sixties are planning to try to see if they can take advantage of this.

'Immortal' only likes children under the age of twelve.

So raw.

They keep growing.

The belly cannot be deflated.

The 'immortal' is waiting, the 'immortal' is calling.

The Immortal said, He has a lot of gold.

As long as the meat comes, the meat comes
At the beginning, everyone was afraid that the immortal would leave, that the immortal's gold would run out, and that others would exchange money for themselves, but they would not.
So I tried my best to get my child to live before my neighbor took over.]

Chen Dongchun's fingers finally fell on the beating stick on the table:

"The so-called method is to push flatly with a clothes-thumping stick or chop the abdomen."

"The child will be 'squeezed' out like the ham sausage inside the packaging bag."

"The reason why I do this is not only to exchange gold, but also because the first person who discovered that the 'immortal' place can exchange gold did so."

"The first person was the son-in-law named Bai. He killed his wife in the dark and forced the child out of her belly."

"And the tool is this clothes-beating stick."

I'm a little confused, I'll post it first and then change it.
