Chapter 610 Fire
There was a hint of pity in Lu Chaochao's eyes.
Looking at her round belly again, Chao Chao felt inexplicably ashamed and couldn't help but suck in her belly secretly.
Yuzhu's eyes were hot. She did not see any ridicule or sarcasm in the princess's eyes. Instead, the princess secretly sucked in her stomach as if she was afraid of burning her.
She chuckled and boldly took the princess's hand.
"Princess, Yuzhu is not sad. It is Yuzhu's greatest blessing to meet the princess." She was very fortunate to meet the princess.
Lu Chaochao held her hand and nodded to her.
After they finished their breakfast, they heard a report outside the door: "County Magistrate Zhou wants to see you."
Yuzhu muttered quietly, "Last night, County Magistrate Zhou was investigating cases all night long, and all those who had killed people were detained."
"Infant Ditch, there are two hundred and thirty-six skeletons."
"This is just a complete skeleton, and there are still a lot of broken bones that can't be put together..." There are many wolves on the mountain, and the bones of newborns are soft, so many of them only have a piece of bone as thick as a finger left.
Their coming to the human world is like going through a tribulation.
"There are more than 600 villagers in the village." Half of them had blood on their hands. Most of them, more than one.
County Magistrate Zhou was so angry that his brain was congested.
"Judge according to the Northern Zhao laws." The Northern Zhao laws are complete and have corresponding systems for infants. However, many people do not report them nowadays and they do not attract attention.
This time, it’s just a warning to others.
County Magistrate Zhou nodded: "Yes."
"Girls in the village can take my carriage to register now, and the results will be known later. I will not allow anyone to snatch their places..."
Only after Lu Chaochao agreed did Yuzhu stand up and follow the county magistrate out.
"Zhu Mo, go and ask some eminent monks to come and pray for the souls to be reborn." After Lu Chaochao finished speaking, Xie Yuzhou's lips twitched...
"Why not... I... let me do it." He felt a little awkward, but he felt pity for the baby who died in vain.
"That group of old monks said that I was the reincarnation of Buddha, and that my salvation must be better than others."
Lu Chaochao covered her mouth and laughed: "Chaochao would like to thank 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.
By the time everyone had packed up, it was already bright.
The county magistrate's carriage was already creaking back to the village.
The whole village was filled with cries. Countless old ladies fell to the ground, slapping their legs and crying. "Why can't we kill the child we gave birth to? We just wanted a son. What's wrong with that?"
"Please spare us, magistrate. We know we are wrong."
"From now on, those little girls... can do whatever they want. We will treat them as our own and raise them like ladies from wealthy families. We will never torture them. Please let my son go..."
The old ladies were crying and wailing, wondering what they would do in the future now that their sons had been arrested.
There are also many old women who did the work themselves and are now being detained and imprisoned.
The whole village was filled with cries.
Before the carriage stopped, Yuzhu jumped down quickly: "Mom, mom! I'm chosen!" The little girl's face was full of ecstasy, and she rushed towards the woman excitedly.
"Mom, the academy is still recruiting people to do odd jobs. How about you go there too?" Yuzhu was worried about her mother being alone outside.
She had already asked, and she knew that the girls' school was short of people to do odd jobs. She could go and help after class on weekdays. She would feel at ease when her mother was around.
The woman nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, mother will go with you."
She was abducted into the mountains and had escaped countless times. She thought her life was hopeless.
Unexpectedly...
The woman's tears fell in big drops.
"Mom, we can contact grandpa now. 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 occasionally blurt out poems, but most of the time, she remained silent... showing a strong rejection and hatred towards the entire village.
Only her mother would often escape, and would be caught and beaten to a pulp, or even chained in a pigsty.
There were several bloody marks on her wrists. Even in the hot summer, the wrists are covered tightly.
Her mother didn't belong here.
She had heard villagers secretly say that when her mother first came to the village, she looked like a well-educated and well-mannered young lady.
When she came, she had a slender figure, her fingers were clean, her skin was white as snow, and even her hair was fragrant.
It is said that he has beautiful handwriting.
But ever since she sent out a message for help, her alcoholic father broke her fingers.
She could no longer write with her right hand and could only do rough work.
Hearing this, the woman forced a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"No need to look for it anymore. Mother will take care of you. Yuzhu is enough for you."
Her home must be too small to accommodate her.
She had already accepted her fate.
Over the years, as one child after another died, she continued to numb herself and continued to regard herself as a real wife of the Wang family. If she had tried to integrate into this family, perhaps she wouldn't be so miserable.
"Mom, why?" Yuzhu knew the words she wrote at the foot of the wall.
That is her real name, Yao Jingyi.
Just listening to it, it sounds like a scholarly name.
She once asked her mother to give her a nice name, but her mother refused without hesitation. Later we learned that she had argued hard for her eldest sister to be named and even taught her to read. As a result, the eldest sister was taken a fancy to by an old widower before she even reached the age of 15 and died early.
Everything my mother had was incompatible with this small mountain village and instead became a bargaining chip.
She no longer dared to teach any child.
But still, I couldn't 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. There is no going back..."
Yuzhu was slightly stunned: "It's not my mother's fault. Why should the victim bear the responsibility?"
Yao Jingyi looked at her, shook her head and said nothing.
But when he thought of his daughter being admitted to a girls' school, he couldn't help but want to find a way out for her.
I decided in my heart to write a letter secretly, just for the child.
Lu Chaochao was about to get on the carriage when she suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Yao family?"
Yu Shu whispered, "The scholarly family that values rules is probably the Yao family of Xihe."
"The Yao family has always regarded themselves as disciples of the saint, and are quite noble among scholars." The saint has been practicing Taoism through books for thousands of years, and countless scholars in the mortal world have regarded themselves as his disciples, but after a thousand years, who knows whether it is true or not.
"If it were the Yao family, they would probably reject her." Or even refuse to acknowledge her.
Lu Chaochao shook his head and looked at Yuzhu with a smile.
"Being turned away may be a good thing."
"Her support is far more stable than the Yao family. Well, maybe the Yao family will come running over one day..." When Yuzhu got off the carriage, a faint glow flowed on her body.
She may become the first spark.
Sudden……
A golden light from her body flowed into Lu Chaochao's brows, and some of it also appeared on Shanshan's body.
Lu Chaozhao looked up at the sky.
Countless sparks rose into the sky from all directions, as if turning into seeds of fire.
The merits of the sky...
All of them poured into Lu Chaochao and Shanshan.
Another part of them flew to the capital and landed in the families whose graves were dug up, and would protect them for a thousand years.
