Chapter 32 Past and Present

Time went back more than 100 years ago, and the winter of that year was particularly cold. In a dirt house in the rural suburbs of Beijing, Xiuru and the children had not had tooth a mouthful for two days.

There was no food at home, and there was not much firewood to burn the fire. If this continued... Niang San'er would starve to death and freeze to death at home.

Xiuru originally had a man. Her family rented a few acres of land from Zhang Shancai's family. The couple worked day and night like livestock. Although they couldn't eat enough and were not warm in clothing, they could finally make a living. Only then did they raise their son Hu Zi and daughter Niu Niu...

But farmers rely on the weather for their meals. They have drought and famine for a year, and the landlords have no surplus food, not to mention that they... the whole family has no food at all, and many people in the village have fled to the famine!

Xiuru's man said, "I don't have to plant this bird field anymore, there is not much fuel and water!" Many strong men in the village went to the city to pull rickshaws, and they earned a lot, which was much better than farming!"

So the whole family returned the land, borrowed from all over the place, and owed a lot of debts, and finally bought a rickshaw. Xiuru's man went to the capital to buy and sell, making money and food directly. Xiuru himself simply went to the landlord to become a maid, earning three melons and two dates to supplement the family's income.

Not to mention, it was really good in the first two years! Pulling a rickshaw is indeed better than paying rent for grain. Xiuru's man not only paid off all his debts, but also made the whole family full! Seeing the children growing taller day by day, Xiuru felt... she was quite content with her life.

But unexpected events happened. Once, when Xiuru's man was pulling a rickshaw, he didn't know why he offended a foreigner and asked someone to shoot him and kill him. The guys who pulled the rickshaw with him sued the government. How dare the government provoke foreigners? The case was quickly understood and he didn't pay a penny!

At this moment... the pillar collapsed, what's the use of the whole family crying and shouting? After burying the man, settled the funeral, the family was penniless again.

Xiuru fell into great grief every day, was in a daze, and accidentally broke the valuable vase of the landlord's house. Zhang Laocai was so angry that he asked her to get out of here and did not rent the land to her, and suddenly cut off Xiuru's livelihood. This time... the whole family became even more miserable.

Without means of production and capital, what can bankrupt farmers do? They can only beg for food! This year is also a bad year, and there are more beg for food on the street than farming. How can you support two children by begging alone?

And it happened to be the cold winter month, with the north wind blowing, the heavy snow falling down, leaving home and fleeing famine... I am afraid that I will freeze to death halfway through the road before I go far.

Looking at the two children's little faces that were frozen and purple and weak, Xiuru decided to go out and give it a try. Maybe she could get back from half a nest. No matter what, she would survive this winter first and wait until it starts, and then take the children to escape the famine!

In the cold weather, Xiuru came to the town with her arms trembling. What surprised her was that the whole town...every household was closed, and every shop was closed. Not to mention people, there were not even a dog on the street!

This is really strange. Although... it's a bit cold today, people always have to live? How can there be no shops that don't open? This is broad daylight, it looks like a ghost town...

She circled around the town but still didn't find anyone. She felt... only herself was left in the world! Although it was daytime, she suddenly felt fearful and terrible, as if the whole town had died all night!

Is it...a war again? A few days ago, I heard from Aunt Wu in the village that Mr. Zhang wanted to fight Mr. Li, and Mr. Li wanted to fight Mr. Li, and Mr. Li wanted to fight Mr. Lao Fu's grave was dug, and he was charged with military pay. The war was in chaos. This must be a war!

Just as she was panicking and trying to go home, she suddenly heard... at the end of the street, the sound of blowing and beating came, like a funeral procession.

What made Xiuru incredible was that the sound of blowing and beating was not heard from one end, but was funeral on both sides of the street, east and west at the same time!

I have lived for almost 30 years and have never encountered such a weird thing before? What does it mean? Two families died, will they even "collide" when they were in funeral?

She instinctively hid in the alley, but suddenly, many people emerged from the alley, including adults and children, wearing mourning clothes, wearing white clothes, carrying paper men, paper horses, and throwing paper money... blocking the road in the alley, making Xiuru unable to enter.

The whole town suddenly became "lively". Many people emerged in all the alleys. Some people had seen or had they seen them before, just like the funeral of the whole town, they were all dressed in white, dressed in mourning, and contrasted with the ice and snowy environment. It was indescribable strange and evil!

Xiuru was "driven" by the crowd... and returned to the street and saw the funeral procession facing each other on both sides of the street. The two huge coffins were carried by people and gradually approaching... It was as if they were going to dig a hole in the middle of the main street to bury it!

There was an old monk in the funeral procession who was reciting scriptures. He died like a poor family, but... what are you doing now?

Xiuru became more and more nervous and scared. She looked at the villagers with their faces, their heads lowered, and they didn't say anything. She just squeezed into the middle of the street like a tide, and the range of movement she could move was getting smaller and smaller...

After careful observation, Xiuru found that many villagers... why did they comb their big braids again? Didn't they cut them two years ago... Everything in front of them was like a nightmare. Xiuru pinched herself hard, it hurts very much, not in a dream.

She also saw that the villagers were all squirting white breaths, not like the kind of dirty things that were so nagging... She was even more puzzled...

Huzi and Niu Niu stayed at home until it was almost dark and my mother didn't come back.

Niu Niu was very scared, worried that her mother would be frozen to death. Hu Zi wanted to go out to find her mother, but... she was afraid that she would leave, and her mother would come back again. The brother and sister hugged each other and cried... I wonder if my mother would come back again?

At this time, Xiuru came back. Not only did she bring back a lot of delicious food, but she also changed into clean and beautiful clothes, colorful and colorful. There was a strange-looking golden hairpin on her head, which seemed to be quite heavy.

When I saw my mother coming back, the children were excited and jumping and kept asking her, where did the delicious food come from? This dress is so beautiful? It is made of silk, and there are a lot of words "Fu" and "Fu" written on it!

My mother didn't explain much and told them that we will not stay in this cold, hungry, and uninhumane place in the future. We will go to another village, which is so warm, with mountains, water, flowers, trees, and small butterflies...

Niu Niu asked her naively, is that place far away?

Xiuru told the child that it was not far away, so she quickly ate the things she brought back from her mother and finished it... It was easy for our whole family to get on the road...

The children were hungry and ate the things they brought back by their mother. Xiuru didn't clean up much, but just wrapped the children with a few more clothes and didn't even take the bedding. She directly lit up her old house with a fire, and then hurriedly took the two children away.

.........

The extremely angry fat lady decided to fight with the thief who stole her spiritual power. She crawled into the soil of the "baby garden" and came to the world of ice and snow...

The regional distribution of the entire secret realm does not mean... directly below the small temple of the dead land is the broken temple of the ice and snow mountain village. There is a certain distance between them, which is a bit similar to the two eyes of Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish, one in the east and the other in the west! You can never be together!

In the vast snow forest, a huge golden scorpion emerged and quickly climbed towards the small mountain village temple, like a galloping tank...

At this moment, she was extremely angry and frustrated. This was the case if she had just been able to fly away from the clouds. Now, it was good... she still needed to crawl like a beast!

The trees along the way were knocked down, and the awakened golden scorpion was extremely hard, and in the dense forest, he walked in a straight line!

However... when she rushed to the mountain village, she saw a picture that almost suffocated her. But she saw... her two children were tied high to the flag pillar at the entrance of the village. Her clothes were stripped naked, and her hair was so cold that she was red and purple. Hu Zi was only wearing shorts, and Niu Niu was even more pitiful, and she only had a bellyband on her body!

"mother.....!"

"mother.....!"

The two children were crying with tears in their hearts, and were plucking the fat Empress's heart like a knife.

She rushed over, and her huge pliers directly clamped off the flag pillar at the entrance of the village, saving the two children...

The fat lady was so angry that she wanted to tear the whole world apart! But her strong maternal nature made her have to take care of her children first!

She turned back into a human form, took off her two coats, and wrapped them around her two kids...

"Huzi! Niu Niu! You guys find a house to hide. Someone is going to kill my mother. I want to settle the score with it!" The fat lady burst into tears.

I didn't know that at this time, these two children... I don't know whether they were hidden in the snow before, or were secretly holding them with their hands behind their backs, and each of them held a knife in their hands! The tiger was pressing towards the sky and stabbed them into his mother's neck and heart!

The fat lady caught them off guard and let them stab them straight. The knife handle was almost gone, and the dark green blood seemed to blow up... "Hu" the whole family rushed out!

She screamed with a "hiss" and jumped backwards and flew six or seven meters away. She lay on the ground and turned into a prototype. The two knives were still stuck in the golden scorpion, all of which were "critical" positions!

"Blood" was still gushing, and the true energy was leaking. The rolling heat boiled the surrounding ice and snow like boiling water. At this time, two furry animals emerged from behind two broken houses at the entrance of the village. They roared twice and rushed towards the seriously injured golden scorpion...

Is there anything more miserable than Fat Empress? The two knives that pierced into her body were not ordinary knives. They were all "special equipment" specially prepared for her, and they hit the nail on the head! Another pair of powerful enemies came one after another! This time... Fat Empress is afraid that there will be a lot of danger.

Compared with the physical pain and sinister situation, what made the Fat Empress collapse even more was the torture of the mind. At this moment, she realized that the two children were accused of... It was all because she was too anxious. She ignored everything when she saw the child suffer and did not turn her mind any more.

This is what happens in the world. The more you have preferences in a certain aspect, the more likely you are to fall into it! If you like beautiful colors, you will be easily delayed and harmed by beautiful colors. This is even more so if you like money. In addition, there are calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and even food...

Love children is actually the same!
