Chapter 412: Lord Yama, Chasing Souls and Rescuing Life
"Half a month after you left, my son started to get sick. He had a constant fever and kept crying. I spent all ten silver dollars, but still couldn't cure my son's illness..."
"That's my son, my biological son. He's my life! I can give up anything, but I can't live without my son!"
"I went to see doctors, many doctors... The doctors said that it was because you soldiers have a lot of murderous aura, so you scared the child! That's why my son has been having a fever! It's all your fault! It's all your fault! I shouldn't have kept you at home!"
"There is no money left, there is no money at home... no money to buy rice, nothing to eat... I can't eat enough, and I don't have milk... nothing..."
It's poverty.
It is also foolish.
Let Old Mrs. Xu blame all the faults on a baby in swaddling clothes.
When Old Mrs. Xu was unconscious and scared to tell the truth, Qin Jiulie asked again in a cold voice.
"Where's the child?! What did you do to that child?!"
“It’s the water… Such a huge amount of water… It’s drowning him… Drown him… As long as I drown him, my son will live… If he dies, my son will live… Hahahaha… He will live… My son’s illness will be cured…”
Old Mrs. Xu spoke intermittently.
She wanted to drown the child back then.
But after reaching the river, he finally couldn't bear to do it.
So she found a wooden tub, put the child in it, and let the tub drift down the river.
If the wooden basin overturns one day, the child will die.
"I didn't kill him... I didn't kill him... I just sent the child away... into the river... I sent the child away... I sent him away... He was drowned, I didn't kill him..."
At that time, the village where Old Lady Xu lived happened to be upstream of Qingjiang Village.
So the child who was drifting along the river happened to be seen by Jiang Li after he arrived at Qingjiang Village.
Jiang Li had been married for several years but could not give birth to a child.
At this time, she picked up a baby boy and thought it was a hint from God to give the child to her.
At that time, there was superstition in the village. Couples who could not have children just had to adopt a child first. The older child would take care of the younger one, and then the child would come.
There is no coincidence in the world.
One year after Jiang Li picked up Jiang Yuanshan, she really became pregnant with Jiang Erhai.
Later, it was about the Jiang family’s affairs.
And now.
Old Mrs. Xu was still kneeling on the ground, holding Jiang Yuanshan's trouser legs tightly.
The phantom appeared before her eyes again, murmuring over and over again.
"I didn't kill him... I put the child in the river... He floated away... God killed him, God killed him..."
If it is said that Jiang Yuanshan was confused before.
After hearing these words, Jiang Yuanshan felt that this matter was closely related to him.
Because he... was picked up by Jiang Li in a wooden basin by the river!
Could it be that...
Is this old woman kneeling in front of him his biological mother?
But it doesn't look like that.
Jiang Yuanshan fell into confusion and entanglement.
Even after going completely crazy, Old Lady Xu was still revealing the truth.
Because besides Jiang Yuanshan, there is also Lin Shijiao... everything must be said clearly and plainly.
"Ah... ghost... you are a ghost, right? You come to me again to take my life... if you want to take my life, I will take your life. Why did you take my son away? Why did you take my son away? Why did you take my son away?!"
"My son... He had just gotten married and had a child, and he was drowned... He was drowned... He fell into the river and never came out... Even his body was not found..."
"It's gone. Everyone in my family is gone... If you want to take retribution, find me! Find me! Why are you looking for my son?"
Everything is like the retribution of cause and effect.
At the beginning, Old Lady Xu put the infant Jiang Yuanshan into a wooden basin in the river, intending to drown the child.
Later, she went through great pains to save her son, but in the end he drowned in the river and not even a trace of his body was left.
My son is gone...
My wife is gone...
My old partner is gone...
Old Mrs. Xu’s home was completely destroyed.
At that time, the only person left by her side was Lin Shijiao, who was born not long ago.
An old woman with a little baby by her side and no labor force at home could not survive in the countryside.
Old Mrs. Xu began a life of wandering.
So many years later.
Old Mrs. Xu reluctantly found another man and settled down in Qingjiang Village.
At that time, Jiang Yuanshan had already become a worker in the steel plant and was married to Gu Yunshu.
The two people's units allocated houses in the city, and they have moved to the city with Jiang Li and others.
That's how fate plays tricks on us.
At that time, the two groups passed each other.
They are obviously from the same village.
But Jiang Yuanshan had never met Old Lady Xu, and Old Lady Xu had never met Jiang Yuanshan.
No one knows that the person whose destiny is closely related to his or hers is actually nearby.
…
Later, Grandpa Qin went to Qingjiang Village to look for his child.
After Old Lady Xu's self-exposure, Qin Jiulie already knew the truth of what happened that year.
But he still needed Old Lady Xu to personally acknowledge Lin Shijiao's background. 〓
Qin Jiulie's eyes darkened and he thought in his heart.
This time, he didn't say anything else.
Instead, he stayed close to Jiang Yuanshan.
"Dad, please ask her a question for me..."
Jiang Yuanshan was hugged by a strange old lady by his trouser legs and heard so many shocking remarks that he was almost in a trance.
He had only one thought in mind, which was to listen to Qin Jiulie.
He said whatever Qin Jiulie asked him to say.
"Ahem." Jiang Yuanshan cleared his throat and asked loudly, "Is that girl my granddaughter? You are about to meet the King of Hell, so why don't you tell the truth?"
No need for any questioning.
The only thing that can defeat magic is magic.
The only thing that can subdue an old rural lady is superstition.
As soon as I heard the three words "Lord Yama".
Old Mrs. Xu told everything.
"No... no... she is my granddaughter... she is my son's daughter... my granddaughter..."
"That winter... an officer was asking around, saying he was looking for your son... but he's dead, the child had died a long time ago... There's no child, no child at all..."
"But they kept looking for the child... and kept looking... I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I pushed the girl out..."
"She's just a girl anyway. Keeping her will only make her lose money, and she'll just have an extra bite of food..."
"The officer came in a car and looked rich. I said the girl was your granddaughter. I just said that and the officer believed me."
"He believed it, hahahahaha… Not only did he believe it, but he also gave me a large sum of money, enough for our family to have food and drink for several years… Haha, it's so easy to deceive…"
