Chapter 478 Tragic Past
"Pei Miao, why are you here again? What are you doing here?"
A young nun was standing outside the mountain gate. She looked extremely unhappy and looked at Pei Miao as if she had seen something dirty.
Pei Miao became very embarrassed. She first glanced at Chen Zhao apologetically.
He clasped his hands together and said to the little nun:
"I'm here to ask Nun Tai for medicine. Please, Master, pass on a message to Nun Wuyou."
The young nun poured the water from the wooden basin in her hand onto Pei Miao.
Chen Zhao was quick to act and held Pei Miao in his arms.
The black and dirty sewage splashed on Shen Zhao's skirt.
Pei Miao quickly broke away from Chen Zhao and apologized self-blamingly.
"It's all my fault. I made you suffer because of me. I will clean the stain for you."
As he spoke, Pei Miao bent down and wiped the hem of Chen Zhao's skirt with his sleeves that had been washed white.
The mist in his eyes gathered more and more, and the unspeakable sorrow in his heart gradually expanded. Pei Miao finally couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
Why should she let the noble see her in such a miserable state? How could she be worthy of her biological parents and brothers and sisters?
How could Chen Zhao let Pei Miao wipe her skirt? He quickly reached out and helped her up.
Before he could say anything, he heard the sarcastic voice of the young nun again.
"Pei Miao, how could you be so despicable? You saw the noble in front of you dressed in rich clothes, and you wanted to act weak and pitiful, so as to gain the noble's pity and be accepted into his house."
"My dear, please don't be fooled by this person. She was originally an orphan adopted by my master. At the age of sixteen, she ran away from the mountains because of loneliness and married a woodcutter."
"Four years ago, he had an affair with someone and gave birth to an illegitimate child. This made the woodcutter lose face in the village, and out of despair, he drowned himself in the river."
"She has a terrible reputation. Anyone who gets involved with her is tainted with filth. It's best for you to stay away from her."
Pei Miao's face was pale as he shook his head repeatedly at Shen Zhao.
Tears fell from my eyes and I kept repeating it in my mouth.
"That's not the case, my lord."
"I didn't have an affair with anyone. The little bean belongs to my husband. He didn't commit suicide. He was killed. My dear, you have to believe me."
"It wasn't me who escaped from the mountains that year, but..."
Before Pei Miao could finish his words, he was interrupted by the young nun:
"You still want to say that it was Nun Wuyou who forced you to marry that woodcutter? If it was really Nun Wuyou who forced you, why did you rush to honor Nun Wuyou all these years?"
"You still want to accept the help from Master Wuyou. Aren't you afraid that Master Wuyou will poison you?"
The young nun was furious when she saw Pei Miao was about to say that it was the woodcutter that Nuns Wuyou asked her to go down the mountain to marry.
Nun Wuyou would rather raise a dog than Pei Miao.
Pei Miao clutched his sleeves tightly.
It was the nun who decided to let her go down the mountain and marry the woodcutter. The nun also said that this was her way of repaying the nun for raising her.
She followed Master Wuyou's instructions and married the man she had only met once.
When she returned to the mountain again, the rumor spread throughout the Jokhang Temple that she had secretly escaped from the mountain and married.
She started to explain at that time, but the nun neither admitted nor denied it.
Just tell her in front of everyone.
"When you get married, you must live a good life with that person, which will be considered as repaying the Buddha's kindness."
From then on, the monks in the Jokhang Temple pointed and talked about her.
The family she married into were all extremely poor, and her mother-in-law was a notorious evil woman in the surrounding villages.
My father-in-law is a notorious ruffian.
The three younger uncles followed their father-in-law and wandered around the village all day stealing and doing nothing.
The three sisters-in-law took after their mother-in-law, being cunning, mean, and picky, always trying to take advantage of others and not getting along with the other women in the village.
The husband she married was dull and slow, the source of income for the family, and the workhorse of the family.
Ever since she married into that family, she jumped into a fire pit, living in endless farm work and endless torture every day.
She didn't understand why Master Wuyou, who had raised her to adulthood, wanted to marry her off to such a family.
She also told the outside world that she was willing to marry him.
Later, she became pregnant, and her three uncles looked at her more and more strangely. One time when her husband went up the mountain to chop firewood.
The three beasts broke into her room and tried to do something indecent to her.
She fought back desperately. Because she had learned some martial arts in the temple, she kicked the second brother in the vitals and took advantage of the moment when the three brothers were distracted.
She escaped from the room and was discovered by her three sisters-in-law. Not only did they not blame their husbands for having dirty thoughts about their sisters-in-law.
He also blamed all the faults on her.
Not only did he beat her up, he also spread the news so that everyone knew about it.
However, in their mouths, it was not that she was bullied by her three brothers-in-law, but that she had an affair with a wild man outside and was caught by her three brothers-in-law.
She also said that she and that wild man had beaten her uncle.
Her mother-in-law and father-in-law also dragged her into the village ancestral hall, humiliated and slandered her in front of everyone in the village, and distorted the truth.
The villagers were kept in the dark and were shouting that she should be drowned in the pond.
No one listened to her explanation, no one offered her a helping hand. It was her dull husband who hurried back from the mountain with a sickle.
It was he who stood in front of the crowd, holding a sickle and roaring at them.
"No one is allowed to hurt my wife. If anyone dares to drown her in the pond, I will fight him to the death."
The beast stood up and tried to pull my husband away.
For the first time, my husband rebelled against his parents, younger brother, and sister-in-law, and even accidentally injured one of his younger brothers during the scuffle.
Later, when the village chief saw that the matter had become a serious matter, he released her. She and her husband moved out of the old house and found a dilapidated house at the end of the village to live in.
The day after she gave birth to Xiaodouzi, her husband said he was going to get some wild game for her and her daughter to nourish their bodies, and he never came back.
When he was found by the villagers, he had already died in the big river at the entrance of the village.
Her husband's family said that the child she gave birth to was not the eldest son's, which was why the eldest son was so sad that he committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Only she knew that her husband would never commit suicide.
She will never forget what that honest man said while holding little Bean.
"Dad used to be honest and stupid, and your mother suffered a lot of grievances and bullying."
"When you grow up, you must be as smart as your mother and as strong as your father. We two will protect your mother and make her the happiest woman in the world."
Thinking of this, Pei Miao's tears fell faster and faster.
My heart aches.
Later, her husband's family and the villagers wanted her and her son to pay with their lives.
Just when her husband's family and villagers carried her and her child to the river and wanted to drown them.
The monks from the Jokhang Temple have arrived.
Xishui Village is backed by the Jokhang Temple, and all the villagers have received help from the Jokhang Temple.
The monks in the Jokhang Temple are regarded as the apostles of Buddha.
Especially the well-known Nun Wuyou, who is regarded as a living Bodhisattva in the eyes of the villagers.
The monk brought the words from Master Wuyou.
"Ms. Pei was once an orphan adopted by Nun Wuyou. Nun Wuyou apologizes to everyone on her behalf for her actions. Heaven is merciful and saving a life is worth building a seven-story pagoda. Nun Wuyou hopes that you will spare her life and the life of the child in her arms."
