Chapter 44 I examine myself three times a day: Have I given him face?
"No need."
The old lady finally opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Nanxi kindly, and spoke slowly.
"Xiaohong has already told you that I was the one who released those ghost babies to kill the villagers. Almost twenty people died at the hands of the ghost babies. You could say that I was the one who indirectly killed so many people. I have committed many sins and deserve to be punished."
Jiang Nanxi: "But looking at your face, you don't have any sins on your body, which means that the people you killed were the ones who deserved to be killed.
So many baby girls are buried beneath this dilapidated temple. Why are they all girls and no boys? It's because the villagers favored boys over girls and disregarded human life.
They will do anything to have a son, even strangling baby girls to save resources when they can't afford to raise them. They think they can kill their own children at will. The real evildoers are these ignorant villagers, not you.
The old lady smiled and said nothing.
Seeing the fire getting more intense, Jiang Nanxi tried to persuade him again, "I see that you are still a cultivator. It's not easy to cultivate for so many years. Just come with me."
The old lady shook her head.
"In fact, there are not only the bodies of baby girls here, but also the bodies of many girls who were abducted from outside. Some of them were college students like my daughter, and some had just started working. They were all in the prime of their lives, but they ended up buried in this mountain valley.
Some girls tried to escape and were beaten to death, and some girls couldn't accept it and committed suicide. Their deaths were too tragic, their hearts were filled with hatred, and their obsessions were too deep, so they can never be reincarnated."
When she said this, the old lady thought of her daughter and her eyes gradually turned red.
She became enlightened and entered the Taoist religion when she was in her forties, then left her family and went into seclusion to practice Taoism.
Many years later, she thought her daughter was about to graduate from college and went home to visit her, but she learned that her daughter had been missing for two or three years.
When she found her daughter, she only saw a handful of bones.
The old lady took a deep breath and continued, "I collected their remains and buried them together under the dilapidated temple. I have accumulated merits from ten lifetimes, and I think... I can resolve their resentment and allow them to be reborn into good families in their next lives and live a peaceful and smooth life."
"What? You..."
Jiang Nanxi looked at her in disbelief. She didn't expect that she was the one who set the fire, and she didn't expect that she was willing to use the merits of ten lifetimes to resolve the resentment of these girls and baby girls!
The old lady is a kind person who has been doing good deeds for ten lifetimes. If she has completed her cultivation in this life, she can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven!
She gave up the chance to become an immortal in the future to help these girls and baby girls!
With a click.
The beams on the roof were burned and were shaking, and it looked like they were about to fall down.
The old lady suddenly slapped Jiang Nanxi on the body and knocked her out of the dilapidated temple.
"Good boy, go back and don't save me. I will always guard these poor babies, just like I would guard my own daughter."
Boom!
The entire roof of the dilapidated temple collapsed, the fire became more and more fierce, and faint traces of golden light could be seen flashing in the red flames.
This is the power of the old lady's merit.
The flames burned more and more fiercely, reducing the ruined temple to ashes and burning away the ghostly aura nearby.
As the flames gradually dimmed and the moonlight shone down, the place didn't seem as eerie as it had seemed at first.
After Jiang Nanxi got up from the ground, he stood there and stared at the burning temple for a long time.
In her previous life, she practiced the ghost path. She had always practiced very quickly and tried to ascend ten times, but failed every time. The last time, she was almost killed by a thunderbolt.
The master said that she was not practicing the right way, that her heart was not firm enough, that she did not have enough merit, and that she lacked luck, so she had never been able to succeed.
What is the right path, what is inner firmness, and what kind of person can have merit?
She seemed to know now.
"Nanxi, that witch..."
Li Chu stood beside Jiang Nanxi, not knowing what had happened in the dilapidated temple, and even more confused as to why the witch wanted to burn herself to death after harming people.
Jiang Nanxi said, "She is a good person. She is a very good person."
After Jiang Nanxi finished speaking, she carried the unconscious man on the ground down the mountain to the village.
On the way back, she heard the sound of a police car. Someone in the village had already called the police.
Many people died tonight and the police were busy for a long time. Jiang Nanxi and Li Chu also cooperated with the interrogation.
When it was almost dawn, the two of them returned to the village chief's house to rest and sleep for the whole morning.
noon.
When Jiang Nanxi got up and went downstairs, she saw that Song Wanwan and Shen Lan had already arrived. Everyone was sitting at the table preparing to have lunch.
Jiang Nanxi suddenly said, "I've decided. From today on, I'm going to be a good person and reflect on myself three times a day!"
director:"……"
audience:"……"
Everyone at the scene was silent for a while, and finally Shen Lan said, "It's good that you've come to your senses. I think you should apologize to me first."
Jiang Nanxi ignored Shen Lan and walked to the seat next to Li Chu, ready to sit down and eat.
As soon as they sat down, Li Chu whispered to her, "Song Wanwan and Shen Lan are so shameless. They came up here in a helicopter this morning and brought several boxes of supplies with them. They planned to exchange them for agricultural products with the villagers.
They brought so many things, so they must be able to exchange them for a lot of agricultural products. Their points must be far more than ours!"
Shen Lan had been paying attention to them and heard what Li Chu complained about.
Shen Lan said, "The director didn't say we had to climb the mountain. He didn't provide transportation. Can't you find a way yourself?
We were so lucky! Something strange happened on the mountain, someone died, and the rescue team was worried about you, so they brought us up with you."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Nanxi smugly and said, "Jiang Nanxi, if you apologize to me now, maybe I can consider giving you some of the supplies.
According to our estimates, the agricultural products obtained in exchange for these supplies can be exchanged for at least 13,000 points!"
Jiang Nanxi: ???
Brought so many supplies up?
Jiang Nanxi immediately stood up from her seat, came to Shen Lan and said, "Then I want to say sorry to you. Can you give me half?"
"sure."
Jiang Nanxi: "I am a good person now. How about I bow to you again? Give me half."
"Can!"
Shen Lan readily agreed.
Jiang Nanxi bowed and said sorry in one breath, then turned the soy sauce bowl on the table upside down on Shen Lan's face.
"Jiang Nanxi!!!"
Hearing Shen Lan's roar, Jiang Nanxi said honestly, "I told you I'm sorry, you can't bully us honest people."
"You're fucking sick! I asked you to apologize for your previous behavior, not this time!"
Shen Lan wiped the soy sauce off his face and said with an unpleasant expression, "Didn't you say you wanted to be a good person, and this is what you did? You should reflect on yourself, otherwise you won't want half of my supplies!"
Jiang Nanxi: "I examine myself three times a day: Did I give him face? Am I too polite? Should I take action?"
Chen Lan: ???
Jiang Nanxi was still staring at Shen Lan when she said this, which scared him and made him think that she was going to rush over and slap him.
but.
Jiang Nanxi turned around and left without even eating.
Seeing Jiang Nanxi leave like this, Shen Lan felt relieved, went to take a shower and came back to continue eating lunch.
However, during lunch, Shen Lan couldn't help but complain about Jiang Nanxi in front of the camera, saying that she had no quality and no moral integrity.
Shen Lan: "A crazy woman like Jiang Nanxi should be sent to a mental hospital!"
Song Wanwan comforted him, "Okay, don't be angry. You can't blame Jiang Nanxi. It's her fault. She has no parents and no one to teach her. People like her are uneducated."
Just as he finished speaking, a staff member rushed in and said, "Teacher Song and Teacher Shen, the supplies you brought by helicopter are gone. Go and look for them!"
