The streets at this time were very lively, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the Poseidon Queen's patrol.
So no one noticed an inconspicuous little carriage quietly leaving in the back alley.
Lao Miaozhu packed up his clothes, suppressed the grief in his heart, and tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened and prepare to welcome the return of the Goddess of the Sea.
In the whole celebration, the real carnival begins after the Queen of Poseidon returns to her throne.
Poseidon's patrol means the new year, and Poseidon will protect all sea dwellers in Harbor City in peace and good weather.
In order to celebrate such a grand event, believers who come to participate will party all night and stay awake for a long time. ??
The carnival music started playing after Poseidon returned to his throne.
As usual, some purses are carefully prepared for blessings in old temples. These purses are very small. Although the workmanship is not so exquisite, they contain some words of blessing.
Everyone is proud to get these purses, because it indicates that they will be protected by the Poseidon in the coming year.
Laomiao Zhu Xinshan knows that everyone is looking forward to this purse all year round, so she will make a lot of it.
In addition, many believers will also come and send their own purses.
For these, Laomiao Zhu will give them some thank you gifts. Over time, this has become a side job for some poor families to supplement their family income, so these people will become more devout in their belief in Tanah Lot.
Although these purses may not all be made by Lao Miao Zhu, she has carefully checked each one and stuffed written notes inside.
Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw these purses.
Just as they walked over with smiles on their faces, wanting to take this small purse from Lao Miao Zhu's hand that would bless them with success throughout the year, someone suddenly made a scene in the crowd.
"Uuuuuuuuah, it's my daughter! Daughter, my miserable daughter!"
On such a festive day, the sound of crying like this is very conspicuous.
So everyone subconsciously put down what they were holding and looked at the source of the sound.
I saw a reasonably well-dressed woman heading into the temple crying.
Seeing her like this, everyone couldn't help but give her way. They thought she had lost her daughter because of the crowd just now, but they didn't expect that she actually went directly to the old temple to pray.
Lao Miaozhu happened to be handing out purses to everyone, but the woman jumped in front of her and knocked the small purse out of her hand. She also knocked over a basket full of purses and scattered them all over the floor.
Others were a little dissatisfied when they saw this scene.

But because this woman cried so miserably, no one cared about her.
Lao Miao Zhu was old, and she had just received stimulation, so her body was already unstable. At this moment, she was almost knocked down by this woman.
Fortunately, someone nearby grabbed Lao Miaozhu's arm and prevented her from falling.
The man frowned slightly and said coldly: "Be careful."
The woman was glared at by the man, and her crying immediately became quieter, but she still wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, crying and whimpering, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Seeing this scene, some people in the crowd already felt that something was wrong, but everyone felt that no one would be stupid enough to cause trouble in such a national celebration.
Isn't she afraid of being kicked out of Harbor City?
Unexpectedly, the woman actually knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the old temple.
"Miao Zhu, mother-in-law, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! But no matter what, Wutong is also my biological daughter. She is the flesh and blood of my ten-month pregnancy. No matter what I did wrong, you can't look at it.
Are we, mother and daughter, separated from each other?"
"Mother-in-law, I beg you! You are so merciful, please let us mother and daughter go."
The woman cried miserably, but her voice was extremely clear. Everyone soon understood that this woman was actually Wutong's biological mother.
Many people present did not know what happened back then. After all, so many years had passed. Even those who knew those past events were mostly old or not present.
Moreover, Miao Zhu's mother-in-law also really loved Wutong. Everyone felt that although Miss Wutong was abandoned by her biological parents, being adopted by Miao Zhu was considered a blessing to her.
Therefore, her life experience has not been spread widely. Everyone only knows that she is an abandoned baby picked up by Miao Zhu's mother-in-law.
Now that a biological mother suddenly appears, everyone still feels a little strange. After all, so many years have passed. If she wanted to appear, shouldn't she have appeared long ago?
But today there are many people and it coincides with a happy event. Under such circumstances, everyone can easily be incited.
So someone persuaded Miao Zhu's mother-in-law to bring Miss Wutong out, so that they could be reunited as mother and daughter.
But in fact Wutong was already dead and could no longer die. Miao Zhu's mother-in-law felt a little guilty when she saw this woman.
She really felt that she had not taught Wutong well. If she had been more careful, wouldn't this girl have gone astray and lost her life?
"You should get up first! Things in Wutong are a bit complicated. Please wait for me first. I..."
But before the mother-in-law could finish her words, the woman started making trouble again.
"Ah! I just want to see my daughter. Why do you want to stop us? Or did you intentionally take my daughter away from me just to let her inherit your mantle? You are so cruel.
!This is my daughter. I was born in ten months of pregnancy. How could you watch our mother and daughter being separated before your eyes!"
No one expected that the woman would actually go crazy and go up to grab the clothes of the temple blessing mother-in-law, but was blocked by the man.
"Where did you come from, crazy woman? What on earth do you want to do?"
The man frowned and asked impatiently.
The woman cried so hard that she beat her chest and played for a while. Then she gradually calmed down and said with sobs: "I just want to see my daughter. I don't want anything else. Please give me my daughter back."
!”
It was probably because of her humble gesture that everyone could not help but feel moved. The man who had been blocking her before turned around, looked at Miao Zhu's mother-in-law with some embarrassment, and whispered: "Mother-in-law, why don't you ask Wutong to come over?
Let's make things clear. We all have seen how you have treated her over the years. You have not treated that girl harshly at all, and we really can't see it. Some people are talking nonsense here."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. At first they sympathized with this woman.
But this woman opened her mouth and slandered Miao Zhu's mother-in-law, which aroused some dissatisfaction, so in this case, letting Wutong stand up and explain the situation was the simplest and most direct way.
But this method is the most difficult now.
Miao Zhu’s mother-in-law let out a long sigh.
She didn't know how to explain this matter, because she didn't want to affect everyone's mood.
But the fire could not be contained in the paper. She knew that sooner or later this matter would be known to others, but it was definitely not now.
"Wutong, Wutong has been sent out by me on other missions and may not be able to come back for the time being. Madam, why don't you settle down in the Temple of the Sea temporarily, and after she comes back, I can reunite you mother and daughter?"
"
What she thought was that when today's matter was over, she would personally apologize to the lady.
in spite of
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
Even if the other party didn't forgive her, she would compensate him. After all, Wutong also died because of her.
But unexpectedly, the woman refused to give in. She pointed directly at Miao Zhu's mother-in-law and cursed angrily: "In front of everyone, you should make it clear that it was my daughter who went out, but she was killed by you!
"
Miao Zhu's mother-in-law was shocked. She didn't know why the other party would ask such a question, but this sentence caused thousands of waves.
"died?"
"How is this possible? I saw Miss Wu Tong busying around yesterday!"
"I saw him coming this morning. Isn't that possible?"
The man was a little angry and asked the woman directly, "What nonsense are you talking about? We saw Miss Wutong coming before! Besides, Miao Zhu's mother-in-law is very charitable and treats Miss Wutong as her own. How could you harm her? Don't do it."
nonsense!"
The woman burst into tears and looked crazy, but she actually spoke very clearly.
She shook off the man's hand, turned around and kowtowed heavily to the onlookers.
"I dare not hide it from you, but the reason why I chose to recognize my daughter today is because I dreamed about my daughter last night!"
"She told me that because of the special year of her birth, she was selected as a tool to extend her life. She said that if I didn't come to look for her, she would be killed. I heard these words and panicked.
It didn't work, so I hurriedly came to look for my daughter, but I didn't expect that I would still be a step too late!"
She pointed at the temple and cursed the Mother-in-Law: "This is the old witch. She has been stealing the incense from the Poseidon at the Poseidon Temple for so many years! Otherwise, you see how she doesn't look like an old woman. She just borrowed it from me.
My daughter’s life will become younger and younger!”
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the backyard and look for my daughter's body! He died so miserably. If I don't avenge her, my daughter will never die in peace!"
Because everyone is the most devout believer in Tanah Lot Temple, everyone believes in the gods and ghosts.
But if you say that Lao Miaozhu is a bad person, many people won't believe it.
Nothing else, because Laomiao Zhu has been doing good deeds for so many years.
Everyone sees it, especially those from poor families. Basically every year, Lao Miao Zhu gives them some food, cotton or charcoal.
It can be said that without the contribution of Laomiao Zhu, these poor families would most likely die from the severe cold in winter.
Therefore, this group of people is also the main force in maintaining the old temple blessings.
