The Legend of Yaoxian's Departure

Chapter 115 For My Son

The number of people in the temple gradually decreased. Seeing the woman lying on the door in a mess and filth, and the blood on the ground, there was a lot of people.At this time, if you leave, I am afraid that you will die.But stay, but dare not, for fear of causing trouble.

At this time, a girl who just went out stomped her feet and turned around and went back to the temple.After a while, she brought Amei over.

When Ah Mei saw the woman, she was taken aback.She exclaimed: "How could this be?"

Someone replied: "I don't know, this woman seems to have kowtowed all the way from the bottom of the mountain."

"Yes, yes, three kowtows per step, it's been a long time climbing!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid that there is something big to ask for Empress Tianxue!"

"Yeah yeah!"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, Ah Mei heard it, and subconsciously went to help him up.Suddenly thinking of Shi Qianye, he paused and couldn't help but look inside the door.

"Why don't people carry it in after they're all like this?" A dissatisfied voice came from the crowd.

"Yeah yeah……"

They looked at Amei as if they were saying that if this person died in front of Tianxue Empress Temple, then Tianxue Empress would be just a fake good person trying to gain fame.

Amei ignored what they said. After the last time, no matter what others said, no matter how pitiful she saw, she could no longer introduce the second Shi Qianye into the temple.

It wasn't until one of the carrots in front of the statue suddenly fell off that Ah Mei felt relieved and helped the woman's arm.

"Fathers and folks, please help me, I am too young to support you."

Only then did people laugh, and someone said: "It turns out that I can't help you, come and come, give me a hand."

People started to lift the woman under the statue.

The woman was fed water and woke up faintly.

"Hey, look, wake up! She's not dead!" someone in the crowd cheered.

"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up."

The woman realized that someone had saved her, so she stood up and said weakly, "Thank you..."

The woman woke up, and people left one after another. At this time, the sun was about to set, and if it didn't go down, the road would be even more difficult to walk when it was dark.

After everyone left, Amei looked at the woman. Although the woman looked sallow and thin, she still had a young face. She asked, "Sister, what do you want from our mother?"

The woman said: "Girl, I came from another village. My son was ill. I heard that Empress Tianxue is very effective, so I came here. I walked for a day and a night to get here. I want to ask Empress Tianxue to show mercy and save him." Save my son." At this point, the woman's dusty and bloody face shed two lines of tears.

Ah Mei was also infected by her. She is an orphan and has no parents to care for since she was a child. She can only carry herself when she is sick.When I was a beggar, I often saw other people's parents feeding their children food and medicine in front of other people's windows, and I was very envious.

This woman doesn't seem to be in good condition. After walking such a long distance, her feet have been worn out long ago, and she doesn't have a few good skins all over her body.Moreover, these are still a pair of deformed feet, only three inches in size.

Seeing such a woman, Amei couldn't help crying.He fetched water, and wiped her face and hands while crying.

The woman slowed down, with some strength in her body, she propped herself up and knelt in front of the statue, clasping her hands together, very pious.

"Mistress Tianxue, a believer girl, Zhenniang, came from Tianjing Village. I pray that Mistress Tianxue will show mercy and save my son."

Li Luo saw everything in the statue, her knees were scratched by the sharp stones on the mountain, and they were still bleeding, but Zhenniang didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

She nodded to Amei, Amei's eyes lit up when she saw Liluo, wiped her face, and helped Zhenniang up.

Zhenniang looked at her puzzled, and Amei smiled: "Sister Zhenniang, your sincerity has been seen by Tianxue, and she will definitely marry your son."

There was some hope in Zhenniang's eyes, she held Amei's hand and asked, "Really?"

Amei nodded and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, so you can stay in the temple for one night and come back tomorrow."

Zhenniang nodded gratefully: "Thank you girl, thank you girl."

"You're welcome, just call me Amei."

Amei took Zhenniang to the backyard, and Liluo left Tianxue Niangniang Temple, heading for Tianjing Village where Zhenniang was.

Tianjing Village is on the farthest west side of Tianxue Town's jurisdiction, where it is very remote.The houses are almost all thatched cottages, the best being a wooden one.People dress like Jenny, only slightly better, unpatched and very worn out.

Liluo didn't know where Zhenniang's house was, so she made a phantasm, pulled a person and asked, "Where does Zhenniang live?"

The person who was asked the way was a middle-aged woman with a grass sign on her head. She was suddenly stopped while walking and asked a nonsensical question, which made her very angry.But when he saw the woman in front of him, he was stunned.This is really the most beautiful person she has ever seen, even better than the widow Zhenniang at the end of the village.If this can be told to others, it will cost a lot of money!
Madam suddenly said happily: "Hey, since when did there be such a fairy-like lady in this village? Which lady are you from?"

Li Luo replied, "It's not from any family."

The woman suddenly said: "Oh! That's from another village. Where did this little lady come from? Are you married?"

Li Luo raised her eyebrows and said, "Where does Zhenniang live?"

The woman was stunned, did she come to see Zhenniang?

"Are you here to find Niang Zhen?"

Li Luo nodded.

The woman's complexion changed, and she said coldly, "What do you want her for? She's a widow from Kefuke."

Li Luo took two steps towards her, and asked word by word: "Where does Zhen—mother—live?"

Seeing that she kept asking such a question, the woman lost her interest.Suddenly seeing Li Luo's eyes, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and my legs felt weak, as if I saw a hungry wolf on the mountain in the middle of the night.

"She...she lives at the end of the village, the most...the poorest house." After speaking, she left as if fleeing.

When Liluo came to Zhenniang's house, it was already dark and the moon climbed over the branches.

This is the farthest place from the village, surrounded by trees.An earthen house with a thatched roof and a few mounds of soil on the top.Although the yard was broken, Zhenniang kept it very clean.The fence of the yard is a fence made of branches. There is a chicken coop in the yard. The door of the chicken coop is open. There are chicken feathers scattered on the ground outside. There are also large footprints, which are obviously the footprints of a man.And Zhenniang is a widow, how could there be a man in the family?

It seems that someone stole her chicken while she was not at home.

The paper on the window was rustling by the wind, and the sound of a child coughing could be heard from time to time.

Li Luo pushed open the door, and by the moonlight, Li Luo saw the comatose and coughing child on the bed.There was not even an oil lamp in the house, so Li Luo conjured up a candle and held it in his hand, the light of the candle quickly filled the room.

Really poor, this house can be said to be barren, with nothing, just an earthen kang, and a washed gray quilt to cover the child.On the table was an earthen pot and a chipped bowl with unfinished food and water in it.

The child looked eleven or twelve years old, and his complexion was slightly red because of his serious illness.In a coma, she murmured: "Mother, mother! Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Li fell on his forehead a little bit, a little bit of starlight flickered, the child stopped coughing, and after a while, the high fever subsided and his complexion returned to normal.

He shouted again: "Water! Water!"

Li Luo scooped up a bowl of water, poured it into a trickle and fed it to the boy, and the boy fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone talking outside the door, Li Luo immediately extinguished the candle.

"I heard that Zhenniang hasn't come back since she went out yesterday. Could it be that she ran away?"

"It's so fresh. I beat my husband to death three days after we got married, and now I beat my son to death. What else can I do if I don't run away?"

"Hey, there is only one half-dead child in her family, why don't we go and have a look?"

"What do you look at? Since her husband died, her family's family property has been snatched away by her husband's relatives. There is only this poor house left for the poor. What do you want?"

"The house, think about it. If Mother Zhen ran away, how long can her son live? Let's go in and see if that kid is dead. If he dies, the house will belong to us."

After finishing speaking, Liluo heard footsteps coming towards this side again. She looked at the sleeping boy, shaking her hands in the dark room, and heard two screams.

"Mom! There is a ghost!"

"Run!"

In one night, several groups of people really came, but they were all driven away like this.Li Luo just sat in front of the bed like this, watched over the boy all night, and only went back when it was dawn the next day.

Back in the temple, Zhenniang had already got up, she was still pale, and bowed to the statue of Liluo, and then knelt down the mountain step by step.

It wasn't until Zhenniang left Tianxue Town at the foot of the mountain that Liluo looked away.She couldn't understand that Zhenniang herself did this even at this point, what was the reason for it?What holds her up?
She asked Wuye: "How did this woman achieve this level? She doesn't know if she continues, will she die?"

Wuye looked at the direction where Zhenniang was going away and smiled: "Because you have a heart, you are so strong."

Are you strong because you have a heart?

Not long after, Liluo saw Zhenniang coming again, and she brought her son to the front of the temple with three kowtows.

When we arrived at the temple, the child looked at the statue and suddenly smiled happily: "Mother, this is the mother. She tapped my forehead, and my illness was cured!"

Zhenniang hurriedly pulled her son to kneel down, and gave Li Luo three slaps.

"Thank you, Empress Tianxue, thank you, Empress Tianxue. The empress is so kind and virtuous, my mother and son will never forget it."

As he spoke, he dragged a basket of carrots in from the door and handed it to Ah Mui, and then left with his son.

After Zhenniang left, Liluo came out of the statue. She was very confused: "I have saved her son, what is she doing in her own temple? She also brought carrots that she couldn't afford at all, so she couldn't afford it by herself. Do you want to eat?"
