Chapter 838 Acquaintance
Lu Chaochao stood by the road with great interest, watching Yuanjun cry in her father's arms.
The man looked to be about 40 years old, with a bit of dignity, but when he faced his daughter, his eyes were red with heartache.
"Dad, Yuanjun thought she would never see you again..." Yuanjun cried until her throat was hoarse. She was kept under her father's wings and had never been exposed to the wind and snow outside. How could she have known that the first time she went out...
Just let someone sell it.
Lord Liu also had red eyes. He and his wife had been childhood sweethearts and had been in love with each other for decades.
His wife married him at the age of sixteen, and they had no children after ten years of marriage.
His mother was furious about this and even forced him to take a concubine. But he has a very deep relationship with his wife, so how could he be willing to take a concubine?
He disobeyed his mother and moved out of the mansion with his wife, and the two of them felt a little relieved.
The two of them supported each other and had a deep affection for each other, but it was difficult for them to have children.
He sought medical treatment and prayed to all the gods and Buddhas, but he still had no children.
At that time, the eldest princess, who had been married for many years, had difficulty having children. She prayed to Xiao Chaochao of the Lu family for a good luck, and she gave birth to twins.
He thought it was funny and didn't take it seriously. He even joked about it with his wife when he returned home.
But his wife took it seriously.
She actually selected some good gifts and took him to the Lu family to pray for a child. The child was just over one year old at the time, and was so cute that he couldn't help but hug him.
My wife has been seeking medical treatment and taking medicine over the years, and her body is full of the smell of medicine, and the smile on her face has faded a lot.
Seeing little Chaochao laughing happily, she asked three times in a row: "Chaochao, can auntie still have another child?" She looked at Chaochao with a nervous face. She was only one year old and could not speak fluently. Children of this age speak most freely.
Little Chaochao couldn't speak clearly, and leaned on her shoulder in a childish and obedient manner: "Auntie, give birth, give birth..."
These words made the couple smile, and the wife even said frankly: "It would be great if we could give birth to a girl as smart as Chao Chao..."
The two stayed at the Lu family for a whole day and did not leave until after dinner.
Only three months after returning, his wife was diagnosed with pregnancy.
The fetus was unstable in the first three months and they did not dare to move around. As soon as three months were up, the couple went to the Lu family to express their gratitude.
It took ten years of marriage to finally get this treasure.
I thought they would live happily like this, but I didn't expect that the world is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people.
When Yuanjun was six years old, his wife died of illness.
At that time, he was in his prime and was highly valued by His Majesty for his good work. Countless people came to the mansion to propose marriage, and even my mother brought her cousin from her natal family to live with her for a while.
Yuanjun was only six years old at that time. She always looked at him ignorantly and kept expressing her longing for her mother.
How could he remarry when his first wife’s body was still warm?
He was so angry that he had a big fight with his mother and asked to be sent away.
The wet nurse was chosen by his wife herself. As a grown man, he had to go out to do errands every day. Ever since his wife passed away, Yuanjun has trusted his wet nurse very much and has been very dependent on her.
After only two years of being sent out, Lord Liu discovered that she was not doing things properly.
But at that time Yuanjun could not leave her. After he warned her privately and sent someone to follow Yuanjun, he felt relieved.
Until later, she stole her first wife's belongings and fell into the river and died in panic.
He was still thinking that it would be better to die. There's no need to ruin Yuanjun's feelings and no need to make her sad again. Who would have thought...
Lord Liu revealed a hint of hostility in his eyes and patted his daughter lightly on the shoulder.
He felt sorry for his daughter who lost her mother at a young age, and also felt sorry for his wife who died early due to illness, so he was very protective of his only daughter. But I don’t want to…
Yuanjun then wiped away her tears, turned around and took Lu Chaochao to introduce her to her father: "Father, this is Sister Zhaoyang. Sister Zhaoyang has been with me all the way..." She reached out and wiped away her tears.
"It's all my fault. I didn't know people well and caused Sister Zhaoyang to suffer." After only two days of being away from home, most of the innocence in his eyes disappeared.
Lord Liu looked at Lu Chaochao, his eyes were dazed for a moment, but he quickly returned to his usual seriousness.
He thanked Lu Chaochao earnestly: "Thank you for taking care of me, young lady. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"If you don't mind, please stay at my house for a few days. I can show my hospitality as a good host."
Yuanjun held Lu Chaochao's hand and said, "Go ahead, anyway, I don't have any relatives or friends in the city. Why don't you stay at Yuanjun's house for a few days? Yuanjun will be going to the capital soon..."
"Didn't sister say that she wanted to go to the capital? Can you go to the capital with Yuanjun?"
"You haven't come down the mountain for a long time, so you don't know it yet. Ever since the savior sacrificed himself, the barrier protecting the mortal world has been broken. Now any demons and monsters can enter the mortal world. It's not safe for you to go to the capital alone. Father asked the inner disciples of Chaoyang Sect to escort you, so it will be safer at least."
When Lu Chaochao heard about the savior's sacrifice, his head buzzed and a blurry picture seemed to flash by.
I also heard a shrill cry in my ears: 'My Chao Chao... My Chao Chao...'
The sound of tears and blood made her unable to help but raise her hand to cover her heart.
The beating heart seemed to stop for a moment because of that sad sound.
She nodded slightly, and Yuanjun was overjoyed.
"Dad, you must catch Lanzhi. She tricked her daughter into marrying a mountain monster. That mountain monster is not a good thing..." Yuanjun snorted.
Lord Liu had heard some of this when he came here, and now his face was slightly gloomy: "Did the mountain monster hurt you?"
He never dared to ask his daughter, for fear of hurting her. But he only spoke after Yuanjun mentioned it.
Yuan Jun raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't know which god that mountain monster offended. He said a few words to me and Sister Zhaoyang, and then he begged for forgiveness like crazy."
"Oh, he also cursed that... that bastard in the God Realm. I guess he was punished for it."
"There was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and he fell to the ground and turned into ashes."
Lord Liu always felt that something was wrong, so he temporarily asked someone to escort the sisters down the mountain, and he took people to check it out in person.
He has already invited the inner sect disciples of Chaoyang Sect to come over. They should be able to come here soon by flying on their swords.
When Lu Chaochao and Liu Yuanjun went down the mountain, there were already many soldiers standing on the mountain.
The entire village was controlled by soldiers and kneeled on the threshing floor.
Lanzhi's face turned pale, and the village chief blushed: "If you marry the mountain god, you will be the mountain god's woman. This is her honor. If you capture me, the mountain god will be angry!"
"The mountain god will not forgive you!!"
Seeing Yuanjun and Lu Chaochao going down the mountain, the village chief's eyes fixed: "How come you are still alive?" Over the years, none of the women they sent up the mountain had ever walked down the mountain alive. No one knew where they went, and no one cared.
Yuanjun threw over a ball of red stuff, which turned out to be the red silk worn by the mountain god. White powder was wrapped inside and scattered all over the ground.
"Well, ask it yourself. I brought the mountain god down with me."
The whole village had originally refused to admit their mistake and was counting on the mountain god to save them, but when they heard this, they almost jumped up...
But when they saw the red silk and the dust on the ground, they went crazy.
