Chapter 773 His father asked me to strangle him to death
When Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan arrived at the entrance of Sanqing Temple hand in hand, they saw Taoist Minghui holding a swaddling baby with a helpless look on his face.
A tiny baby lay in the thin swaddling clothes.
Standing beside Taoist Master Minghui were many small children, each of them dressed thinly and looking at the baby in Taoist Master Minghui's arms with helpless expressions.
"Master, they are just taking advantage of your kindness to become more aggressive. In previous years, we only picked up a few children in our temple each year.
This year, the most we have is more than 20. How can we afford to support them?"
"They are all lives, so what if I don't accept them?"
Minghui naturally knows that survival is difficult, and it was particularly difficult last year and this year, after all, there was a famine.
The baby in the arms is also very thin and looks like he has no nutrition at all.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other, their eyes falling on the corner of clothes behind a big tree not far away.
"They haven't left yet."
"That's all."
It’s not that Minghui didn’t see it, but when she looked at the child in her arms, she felt pity for him.
Just at this moment, Muxiang, who heard the noise, trotted over and grabbed the person under the big tree.
"Big sister, this is the child you carried for ten months with great difficulty, how can you bear to give it away?"
Besides her, Fuling also looked disapproving. She looked at the woman who was dragged out by Muxiang and said:
“When he grows up, he might wonder why you gave up on him.
I will also wonder if it is because of me that you abandoned him, or...”
Fuling thought about the confusion in her heart over the years and said, "Or maybe he will hate you for not wanting him."
She did resent her biological parents in the past and had tried to find them.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained, so Fuling understands the feeling of being abandoned better than anyone else.
The woman, Madam Zhou, wiped away her tears reluctantly. If you look closely, you can see that she was wearing very thin clothes.
But there was still a scarf wrapped around her head. Jiang Wan was stunned and asked, "You haven't finished your confinement yet?"
"yes."
Madam Zhou burst into tears and suddenly knelt in front of Taoist Minghui.
"Master, I really can't support him. If I don't send him here, he has no way to survive. His father told me to strangle him to death.
But this is my child after all, how can I bear it? I heard that the Taoist priests in Sanqing Temple are the kindest, so I thought of trying my luck. "
"Strangle to death?"
Mu Xiang's voice rose, obviously angry and supportive, "This is his child, and he wants you to strangle him to death!"
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."
Fuling also disagreed, "This is a life after all."
She couldn't help but wonder if her parents also disliked her when she was born?
Perhaps the sadness in her eyes was too obvious, Cheng Jin comforted her with concern.
"Fuling, not every pair of parents are qualified to be parents."
These words made Madam Zhou freeze all over, and she struggled to explain for her man.
"My husband... he is not a bad person, it's just... this child was born with a disease.
The doctor said that he should be taken good care of. He is not destined to be rich but has a rich disease. How can we ordinary people afford to take care of him?"
What's more, this is the baby boy they have been looking forward to for a long time, but unfortunately the child is in poor health.
Jiang Wan subconsciously wanted to speak, but Taoist Minghui spoke first:
"Go ahead, but you gave up on him on your own initiative. I hope you and your wife won't use your status as parents to disturb him in the future.
Whether he can survive depends on his fate."
"Little one."
Madam Zhou's reluctant eyes fell on the baby who looked not well, and her tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
"If you really can't bear to part with it, we can provide him with free medical treatment."
Fuling gave a tentative suggestion, and Madam Zhou, who had been very reluctant just now, wiped away her tears swiftly.
"I...I'll go down the mountain first. Otherwise, if his father knew that I sent the child to the temple, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
After saying this, she left in a hurry, afraid that someone would stop her, and even jogged behind.
Poria cocos and costusroot: …
"What kind of person is this? I said I would treat her for free."
Muxiang curled her lips and glanced pitifully at the baby who was smiling at Minghui and didn't know that he was abandoned by his biological parents.
Fuling stood there in a daze, unable to understand what was going on for a moment.
"Why is she so eager?"
"She gave birth to twins."
Minghui never stopped until his words shocked the world. He gently teased the child in his arms with his white fingertips and said:
"The one who stayed behind is healthy, and this child is destined to have no affinity with his parents."
“No wonder.”
Everyone then understood why the woman ran so fast. She was probably thinking hard about taking good care of the child left at home.
"Master, can you let me see this child?"
Jiang Wan felt a little bit reluctant. She didn't have any family ties in her previous life, so she could empathize with the child just like Fuling.
"OK."
Taoist Master Minghui looked at Jiang Wan deeply and said something that surprised everyone again, "You are his destined benefactor."
Isn’t it?
If it weren't for the money from Jiang Wan, he wouldn't have had the confidence to raise the child.
"Wanwan."
When he heard that Jiang Wan was the child's benefactor, Song Jiuyuan hurried forward. Looking at the skinny child, he felt pity in his heart.
"He's so light."
Jiang Wan held the child in her arms. The child was very light. She felt that it weighed only four pounds.
This is a baby that has been raised for several days, and it will definitely be lighter when it is born.
"Come inside first."
Taoist Master Minghui sighed and asked the disciples behind him to go back to their rooms to do their homework.
"I'll check it myself later. If you don't finish it, you won't be allowed to eat tonight."
"Yes, Master."
“…”
The children ran away in a swarm, but Xuan Cheng, who had just fetched water for Jiang Wan, did not leave. Instead, he followed them closely.
After entering the house, Xuan Cheng quickly lit the charcoal fire, and the cold house gradually became warm.
Jiang Wan placed the child on the couch and looked at Fuling, whose expression was complicated.
"Fuling, you and Muxiang take a look at this child."
They both couldn't help but think of what Madam Zhou said about the child being sick from the womb.
Then they understood that Jiang Wan wanted to test them.
Muxiang and Fuling took turns checking the child's complexion. His pulse was extremely weak and almost unfeeling.
Even the experienced Fuling encountered difficulties, and the newcomer Muxiang had no idea at all.
"Master Junior, his pulse is very weak."
Fuling observed the baby's complexion somewhat awkwardly, but ultimately could not come to a conclusion.
While they were checking, Jiang Wan had already prepared the golden needles. She looked at the child's lips that had turned purple from the cold and frowned.
She felt the baby's pulse and carefully examined his limbs, heart, and facial features.
Unfortunately, it is not in modern times, and some things are difficult to confirm with the naked eye.
But she already had a guess in her heart, so she spoke to the system consciously.
"Elf, scan this child's body. I want to know the health of his internal organs."
