Chapter 610 Fire
Lu Chaochao's eyes showed a trace of pity.
Looking at her round belly again, Chaochao felt a little ashamed for no reason and couldn't help but secretly suck her belly.
Yuzhu's eyes were hot. She didn't see any ridicule or sarcasm in the princess' eyes. Instead, the princess was afraid of burning her and secretly sucked her belly.
She chuckled and boldly pulled the princess's hand.
"Princess, Yuzhu is not sad. Yuzhu can meet the princess, which is Yuzhu's greatest blessing." She was very lucky to meet the princess.
Lu Chaochao held her hand and nodded to her.
After the two finished breakfast, they heard the announcement outside the door: "County Magistrate Zhou wants to see you."
Yuzhu muttered in a low voice: "Last night, County Magistrate Zhou tried the case all night, and those who had killed people were detained."
"In the baby ditch, there are 236 skeletons."
"These are just complete skeletons, and there are many broken bones that can't be put together..." There are many wolves on the mountain, and the bones of newborns are soft, and many of them only have a piece of bone as thick as a finger.
They came to the human world, just like going through a catastrophe.
"There are more than 600 villagers in the village." Half of them had blood on their hands. Most of them had more than one.
County Magistrate Zhou was so angry that his brain was filled with blood.
"Rebel according to the laws of Beizhao." Beizhao's laws are perfect, and there is also a system for welcoming infants. However, many people have not reported it now, and it does not attract attention.
This time, it is just right to kill one to warn a hundred.
County Magistrate Zhou nodded: "Yes."
"Girls in the village can take my carriage to register now, and the results will be available later. We must not let anyone snatch their places..."
After Lu Chaochao agreed, Yuzhu stood up and followed the county magistrate out.
"Zhu Mo, you go and invite some monks to pray for the souls." After Lu Chaochao finished speaking, Xie Yuzhou's lips moved...
"Why not... I... I will do it." He felt a little awkward, but he felt pity for the babies who died in vain.
"That group of old monks said that I am the reincarnation of Buddha, and I must be better than others in salvation."
Lu Chaochao covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Chaochao thanked Brother Yuzhou on their behalf..." Xie Yuzhou immediately straightened his chest and raised his head, took out the wooden fish and walked out the door.
When everyone packed up, it was already dawn.
The county magistrate's carriage had already creaked back to the village.
The village was filled with crying, and countless old ladies fell to the ground, slapping their legs and crying: "Why can't we kill the one we gave birth to and the one we gave life to? We just want a son, what's wrong?"
"County magistrate, please spare us, we know we were wrong."
"In the future, those girls... can do whatever they want, we will worship her and raise her like a lady from a noble family, and never torture her. Please let my son go..."
The old ladies cried, their sons were arrested, what should they do in the future.
There are also many old women who did it themselves, who were also imprisoned at this moment.
The whole village cried loudly.
Before the carriage stopped, Yuzhen jumped down from the carriage quickly: "Mom, mom! I'm selected!" The little girl was full of ecstasy and rushed towards the woman.
"Mom, the academy is still recruiting people to do odd jobs, can you go to the academy too?" Yuzhu was worried about her mother being alone.
She had already asked, and the girls' school was short of people to do odd jobs. She could go to help after class on weekdays. She felt relieved when her mother was around.
The woman nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, mom will go with you."
She was abducted into the mountains and had escaped countless times. She thought she had no hope in this life.
Unexpectedly...
The woman's tears fell in big drops.
"Mom, we can contact my grandparents. Mom can finally go home and leave here." Yuzhu felt sorry for her mother.
She knew that her mother was different from others.
Only her mother would often blurt out poems, but most of the time, she was silent... showing strong rejection and hatred for the whole village.
Only her mother would often escape, and would be caught and beaten to pieces, or even chained in a pigsty.
There were several blood marks on her wrists. Even in the hot summer, her wrists were covered tightly.
Her mother did not belong here.
She had heard villagers secretly say that when her mother first came to the village, she looked like a well-educated young lady.
When she came, she had a slender figure, her fingers were not stained with water, her skin was like snow, and even her hair was fragrant.
It is said that she also had a good handwriting.
But since she sent a letter for help, her alcoholic father broke her fingers.
She could no longer write with her right hand, and could only do some rough work.
At this moment, the woman heard this and forced a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Don't look for it anymore, mother will take care of you. Yuzhu is enough."
Her home must have no room for her.
She had already accepted her fate.
Over the years, as one child after another died, she kept numbing herself and constantly thinking of herself as a real wife of the Wang family. Trying to integrate into this family, perhaps, she would not be so painful.
"Mom, why?" Yuzhu knew the words she wrote at the foot of the wall.
That was her real name, Yao Jingyi.
It sounded like a name with a scholarly air.
She had asked her mother to give her a nice name, but her mother refused without hesitation. Later, she learned that she had argued for her eldest sister to be named and even taught her to read. As a result, the eldest sister was spotted by an old widower before she reached the age of marriage and died early.
Everything her mother had was incompatible with this small mountain village, and instead became a bargaining chip.
She dared not teach any child anymore.
But still, she could not save them.
"My mother's family is a family of scholars. They have been scholars for generations. Your grandfather is the most old-fashioned and pedantic. I can't go back..."
Yuzhu was slightly stunned: "Everything is not my mother's fault. Why should the victim bear it?"
Yao Jingyi looked at her, shook her head and said nothing.
But thinking of her daughter being admitted to the girls' school, she couldn't help but want to fight for her daughter's way out.
She decided to write a letter secretly, just for the sake of the child.
Lu Chaochao was about to get on the carriage, and suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Yao family?"
Yushu whispered: "The scholarly family, the scholars who pay attention to rules, are probably the Yao family in Xihe."
"The Yao family always regards themselves as the disciples of the saint, and they are quite noble among the scholars." The saint entered the Tao for thousands of years with books, and countless scholars in the mortal world regard themselves as his disciples, but after thousands of years, who knows whether it is true or not.
"If it is the Yao family, I am afraid they will refuse her." Even, they will never recognize her.
Lu Chaochao shook his head and looked at Yuzhu with a smile.
"It might be a good thing to be turned away."
"Her support is far more stable than the Yao family. Well, maybe the Yao family will come over one day..." Yuzhu got off the carriage, and a faint glow flowed on her body.
She might become the first spark.
Suddenly...
A golden light from her body flowed into Lu Chaochao's brow, and some of it also fell on Shanshan.
Lu Chaochao looked up at the sky.
Countless sparks rose from all directions, as if turning into seeds of fire.
The merits in the sky...
All flowed into Lu Chaochao and Shanshan.
Some flew to the capital and fell into the family whose graves were dug up, and would protect them for a thousand years. (End of this chapter)
